Independent media outlet Aquarius Era reported on September 26 that police have been standing guard 24 hours a day outside the home of Sun Meihua's brother-in-law Liu Anjun since September 24. Liu Anjun had previously repeatedly asked police to investigate Sun Meihua's disappearance and suspected trafficking.
On Sep 18, Liu Anjun, a family member of Sun Meihua, disclosed that the Xicheng police in Beijing demanded that the family disband online chat groups and prohibited any public mention of the matter, while also banning audio and video recording during meetings. Previously, Sun Meihua was brought back to Beijing on Sep 8, but family visits were obstructed, leading to demands for confirmation of her health status and a thorough investigation into the circumstances of her disappearance.
According to Liu Anjun, the police informed him that a physical examination and injury assessment had been carried out for Sun Meihua.
On September 14, the Xicheng police in Beijing notified Liu Anjun that Sun Meihua had undergone multiple rounds of physical examinations and that the injury assessment was still being processed. As of September 26, whether a case would be filed for investigation had still not been clearly stated.
On September 12, Liu Anjun went to the Beijing Guangnei Police Station and other departments to demand clarification on Sun Meihua's suspected abandonment, trafficking, and purchase of persons, and was told that the case was still ongoing and that information was kept confidential from non-direct family members.
Sun Meihua, who had been missing for 26 years, was brought back to Beijing from Cao County, Shandong, by her brother on September 8. Her sister Sun Cuihua said she was blocked by her brother right after a brief video call; her brother-in-law Liu Anjun, who is also in Beijing, had returned for more than two weeks and received only one recent photo.
According to her family member Liu Anjun, Sun Meihua, who had been missing for 26 years, was brought back to Beijing by her brother from Cao County, Shandong on September 8.
