It is reported that YINGYING ZHANG is an assistant researcher of China Academy of Sciences. In April this year, she went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a visiting scholar. YINGYING ZHANG's boyfriend said that he learned in the early morning of June 10 (afternoon of June 9th, US time 1) that Xiao Zhang lost contact while signing a rental contract, and called the police at 5pm local time.
It is understood that YINGYING ZHANG and an off-campus apartment manager agreed to sign the contract at 1: 30 on the afternoon of the 9th. At around 1 pm, Yingying set off from the laboratory, sent a message to a classmate on WeChat shortly after her departure, and also commented on the circle of friends of two classmates.
According to the screenshot of the mobile phone provided by the classmate, Yingying informed the manager that she would be a little late that afternoon 1: 30, about 2: 10, but she never went there again. At 2: 38 pm, the manager sent another message, but YINGYING ZHANG didn't reply. At present, it has been more than 40 hours since we lost contact. At present, the police have started an investigation.
