Chapter: 4849

Lei Chen was perplexed and thought, "This situation is strange. In theory, this old lady's family circumstances should be extremely ordinary, and she shouldn't have any direct relatives left in the country. It's unlikely that Mei Yujuan would approach her with a purpose."

"I'm also unclear about this..." Wan Pazhi said, "I found some surveillance footage of the old lady working at a Chinese restaurant. At such an advanced age, it seems like her family must be having a tough time."

Lei Chen furrowed his brow and continued to ask, "What about her son? Since he was a government-sponsored student abroad, he must have graduated from a prestigious university. His income can't be that low, right?"

Wan Pazhi explained, "Her son's situation is quite pitiful. Although he used to earn well when he was working as a technical manager at an international company, after he turned 35, he has been constantly looking for work and getting rejected, with his income decreasing continuously. He has been unemployed for over a year now, and their home loan has stopped paying for several months. The bank is about to repossess the house, and they had just sold off their business car worth 100,000 miles. Now, I think they are almost penniless."

Lei Chen said calmly, "Such situations are actually quite common in large corporations. For some large companies, older employees with extensive experience and high salaries are still valuable assets, but once they reach a certain age and have family responsibilities, their physical strength and mental abilities decline, making it difficult for them to keep up with the pace of work. These companies would rather replace these middle-aged workers with younger ones who can be pushed harder and exploited for at least 10 years."

As he spoke, Lei Chen added, "Once these middle-aged workers are laid off, their salary levels will plummet even further. Young people are always jumping from one job to another, earning higher salaries each time, while middle-aged workers mostly experience a decrease in salary as they jump from one job to another."

Wan Pazhi was deeply troubled and sighed, "Capitalists are indeed the cruelest of all."

As Wan Pazhi thought about something, he exclaimed suddenly, "Oh right! I just checked the Civil Aviation System and found out that her son booked a return ticket to Mexico for the next day. It seems like he might be going to Mexico to work..."

Lei Chen was even more perplexed: "Going to Mexico to work? That place is much poorer than the US, and it's considered a lawless land. What kind of normal person would leave the US to go there to work?"

"This one is unclear..." Wan Pazhi said, "I also found his son's medical records from last week, which were done at a hospital in Providence. The examination items listed are all employment-related tests, and it seems like he did them for job hunting purposes."

Lei Chen nodded, initially not thinking much about it.

But then he suddenly thought of something and opened his mouth to say: "Pazhi, the data you provided earlier showed that many people who have had contact with Mei Yujuan have simply disappeared or gone missing. Is that right?"

"This one is correct." Wan Pazhi said, "These people in the police system are all listed as missing, and none of them have been found."

Lei Chen furrowed his brow suddenly and said: "Quickly check these missing persons' case files to see where they went missing and what was their last contact with?"

Due to time constraints and numerous investigative leads that need verification, Wan Pazhi's subordinates only searched for these missing individuals in the US police system during the investigation.

However, they didn't further investigate their specific details or locations where they went missing.

But Lei Chen was sharp-eyed and sensed something unusual, feeling that Qing Bi Hua's son going to Mexico at this time was abnormal.

So he subconsciously thought that those who had gone missing previously were probably related to Mexico.

Wan Pazhi's efficiency was extremely fast; within a short period of time, he thoroughly reviewed the case files of these missing individuals and then exclaimed to Lei Chen: "These people... are all missing in Mexico."

Lei Chen's eyes lit up, asking quickly: "What areas in Mexico did they go missing from, and who were their last contacts with?"

Wan Pazhi said hurriedly, "I'll review these case files in detail and take a look at the witness statements provided by their families."

"Good." Leafen urged, "Find some more people to work together, I'll wait for your message!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wan Pazhi hung up Leafen's phone and then brought along several information analysts from the Wan Long Courtyard to review the files of dozens of missing persons.

In the end, they drew a conclusion: almost all the missing persons were related to Mexico, and without exception, they all disappeared at Mexican port cities. JrNovels.com
