Now Network News: The disappearance of two girls, Zhou Qi and Hu Fei, in the Fenghuo Village to Zhangjiawan area half a month ago and two months ago respectively, has garnered widespread attention after being reported multiple times by our newspaper.
Yesterday, our newspaper collaborated with Hubei News Comprehensive Radio and other media outlets to release information about the physical characteristics of the two missing girls and mobilized 30,000 taxi drivers across the city to search for them.
Captain Li from the Hongshan Public Security Bureau introduced that since the case was filed, the Hongshan Branch has been closely monitoring the matter. "We are still working on it intensively, and will communicate with the families promptly if there is any news."
Taxi companies have mobilized drivers to search.
"We will post photos and basic information of the two missing girls at the places where drivers clock in for work, reminding drivers to pay more attention during their shifts," said Wuhan Huachang Taxi Company, which takes this matter very seriously.
Chen, a 48-year-old driver for Huachang Taxi Company, has helped the police collect relevant information many times before. "After seeing the newspaper, I started paying attention myself. Even if the company doesn't call for it, we would do it anyway."
Mr. Chen from Datong Taxi Company stated: "Taxi drivers cover every corner of the city and are a good source of information. Moreover, information can be exchanged through the radio system. We hope our drivers can gather information for the parents of the missing girls and the police."
In addition, our newspaper has also collaborated with Hubei News Comprehensive Radio, Wuhan Traffic Radio, and other media outlets to release information about the physical characteristics of the missing girls across the city. Host Jiangxia from Hubei News Comprehensive Radio said: "We will broadcast the information of these two girls during the program and also release the contact details of their families, urging listeners who have any clues to contact the families of the missing girls as soon as possible."
Families: Most of the leads received were scams.
Zhou Qi's parents are farmers. Zhou Qi graduated from Jianghan Commercial School this summer, and her younger brother was admitted to Hubei Normal University. Life had just started to improve when Zhou Qi's disappearance dealt a heavy blow to this ordinary farming family.
Zhou Ruqing, who has been running around for the matter of Zhou Qi's disappearance, is not her real brother but her cousin. This honest and enthusiastic cousin took on a large part of the responsibility of finding Zhou Qi, making decisions, looking for clues, contacting the police... Zhou Ruqing did his best to alleviate the worries of Zhou Qi's parents.
After Zhou Qi and Hu Fei went missing one after another, their families posted missing person notices, inquired door-to-door, and distributed nearly a thousand missing person flyers. In recent days, Zhou Ruqing received several calls, all claiming to have seen a girl resembling Zhou Qi. However, they needed to go to a certain place to confirm whether it was indeed Zhou Qi herself, asking Zhou Ruqing to send the transportation fees first.
For Zhou Ruqing's experience, Hu Jie, Hu Fei's second sister, felt somewhat envious: "I haven't even received any scam calls."
Hu Jie said that hundreds of missing person notices were distributed, but they disappeared like stones into the sea, without any news. "If there were any news, even if it were false, I would feel better than now, and I wouldn't give up."
Classmates recall the last moment before the split.
The news of Zhou Qi's disappearance made her classmates Li Hui and Peng Yan very sad. Yesterday, they said that since learning about Zhou Qi's disappearance, they have been recalling every little detail, but found no signs of her disappearance.
At around 8 PM on August 5th, Zhou Qi and her classmates Li Hui, Peng Yan, and two others watched a movie at the Jin Yi International Cinema in Xudong Xiaopinmao, then came together to the snack street behind Xiaopinmao for a night snack.
"Everyone played happily together, and after eating, we walked around a bit," Peng Yan said. Thereafter, she and Zhou Qi took a taxi to the Zhongbei Road Chejialing bus station and watched Zhou Qi board the bus heading to Wuchang Train Station - Route 577.
"At 11:00 PM, I sent her a text message asking 'Where are you?' At 11:01 PM, she replied to me, 'I've already reached the alley entrance of Zhangjiawan, I'll be home soon,'" Peng Yan's phone still retains the text messages from that night. It wasn't until the 7th that she learned about Zhou Qi's disappearance.
Zhou Qi's disappearance plunged Peng Yan and Li Hui into deep sorrow. Peng Yan and others called Zhou Qi's mobile phone several times every day, but it remained off. "Even though we know it won't connect, we call every day, hoping it will turn on." In addition, Peng Yan and others posted and reposted on various websites, "Zhou Qi, we are all looking for you."
"If she wanted to leave because of personal issues, she would definitely tell us." Like her family, Peng Yan and Li Hui are also looking forward to news about Zhou Qi.
Netizens suggest mobilizing citizens to find clues.
Regarding the disappearance of the two girls, many netizens are following the progress of the event, and some suggest that Zhou Qi and Hu Fei's families mobilize citizens to find clues.
Netizen "hustdf" said, although the case has been filed, too much time has passed, and there are too few usable clues. It is still necessary to mobilize citizens. "I hope the media can organize a city-wide search activity, publish the photos of the missing girls, and let everyone look together."
Netizen "Shougongxiaowu" suggests that girls should avoid going to sparsely populated areas at night, and if they are returning home, it's best to ask relatives to pick them up.
Netizen "Kucha" also said that girls should enhance their own safety awareness.
