Chapter 577: The Kidnapper Is Helping Me Clear Away Obstacles

"What ransom are you talking about?"

Seeing Qu Tuotuo said dissatisfied:

"Su Mi didn't return to our rented place last night. I thought she stayed at her own home."

"Just now her mother called me, saying she couldn't reach her, and that Su Mi didn't stay at home last night either."

Seeing Qu Tuotuo's voice grew even more urgent:

"Her phone is off too. I contacted her other friends, and they all said they haven't seen her."

"Dazhang, what do we do now?"

Yu Dazhang didn't answer immediately; instead, he sorted through the matter in his mind.

The current situation is that family and friends can't reach Su Mi, but that's all there is to it, so we can't confirm she's been kidnapped just yet.

After a pause, he slowly said:

"It doesn't have to be kidnapping. Maybe she's in a bad mood and just wants some time alone."

"Or maybe she got drunk alone outside yesterday, was picked up by someone... no, I mean taken to a hotel by a kind person, and hasn't woken up yet."

He seemed to feel that wasn't enough, so he added:

"A phone running out of battery and shutting down isn't anything rare. Don't be too sensitive."

Su Mi's current situation is simply that she's out of contact; it doesn't even count as missing, so what Yu Dazhang said is the truth.

"No, she must have been kidnapped," Seeing Qu Tuotuo argued:

"Since I've known her, this has never happened before. Even when she was angry with her family in the past, she never became unreachable."

Why is she so stubborn... Yu Dazhang knew Seeing Qu Tuotuo's temper; once she set her mind on something, it was hard to change her opinion.

In the past, he would have yielded.

She's a girl, and moreover, his fiancée; being accommodating was only right.

But when it involved her best friend, there was absolutely no yielding.

Today, Yu Dazhang was going to change her temper.

"Everything has a first time."

Yu Dazhang's tone was no longer gentle; instead, he spoke to her in a reasoning manner:

"Just because she's never run away from home doesn't mean she won't do something like this."

He speculated further:

"Besides, she's not young anymore. If she met someone she liked, a one-night stand is very possible."

"They had fun, played until dawn, got tired, and fell asleep embracing each other. Maybe they're still sleeping now."

At this moment, Wei Qian and Lu Zhongxin, standing beside him, exchanged a glance; both saw confusion in the other's eyes.

What kind of nonsense is this?

The reason they were listening from the side was that they heard words like "kidnapping" and "ransom."

As criminal police, they instinctively thought someone had reported a case to Yu Dazhang.

Strictly speaking, kidnapping falls under the eight major cases, which are handled by their First Brigade.

But this phone call only made them more confused the longer they listened.

How did "one-night stand" even come up? What does that have to do with kidnapping?

One-night stand, playing all night...

Is this a proper kidnapping?

"She's not that kind of person!" Seeing Qu Tuotuo shouted from the other end of the phone:

"Although she can be careless sometimes, she would never do something like having a one-night stand with someone."

She suddenly realized she was losing her composure:

"Oh my, why am I telling you this? Hurry up and call the police to find her."

"I know you have a bias against her, but this matter is really serious. She must have been kidnapped."

Yu Dazhang turned his head to glance at the two people staring at him; naturally, he knew what they were waiting for.

Criminal police certainly don't want cases to happen, but once one does, they will investigate immediately; starting earlier means solving the case sooner.

You are destined to be disappointed.

"Has Su Mi's family received a ransom call from the kidnapper?" Yu Dazhang went straight to the point this time.

This question also made Seeing Qu Tuotuo realize the key point; she answered truthfully:

"No."

"There you go," Yu Dazhang said with righteous confidence:

"If she had been kidnapped, her family would have received a ransom call long ago."
