Free Web NovelChapter 1065: Chapter 526: Playing Hard to Get? Guiding Step by Step (Part 2)
At this moment, Mr. Zhao was genuinely somewhat agitated.
He had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
He looked quite disheveled overall.
It was only after Luo Fei’s efforts at mediation that the elder sister accepted the money.
"Big Sister, although what happened to your daughter is saddening."
"However, we still have to deal with the matter officially. So we need to inquire about Miss Zhao’s situation."
Even though Luo Fei was persuasive and prepared for questioning.
The elder sister took a deep breath and seriously said.
"Officer, although I’m eager to help you, for over a week my daughter has been in the hospital. She simply has no motive for committing a crime."
"Even the nurses in the hospital can testify."
The elder sister spoke earnestly.
Her tone was extremely serious.
Luo Fei then asked.
"Big Sister, do you know anyone else who might have a grudge against Miss Zhao, or perhaps your daughter’s father or other relatives who would take action to help her vent her anger?"
Looking at Luo Fei’s somewhat suspicious gaze.
The elder sister seemed somewhat at a loss.
"Officer, to be honest, I really want to provide you with some clues. But based on what I currently know... I’m really sorry."
The elder sister spoke with great embarrassment.
And was clearly feeling quite ashamed.
She also seemed very bewildered.
Luo Fei could only reassure her.
"Big Sister, how about this? I’ll ask Mr. Zhao to step outside first, and then I’ll talk to your daughter alone to understand some circumstances?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s somewhat hopeful look.
The elder sister looked at her daughter.
"Daughter, would you like to speak with Mr. Luo?"
"After all, you know we have to prove our innocence. So..."
"It’s alright."
The daughter spoke, forcing a faint smile.
"Now that we’ve accepted the money, we should satisfy others’ curiosity."
As Mr. Zhao and Luo Fei went out to make a record.
Li Yu sat down.
And, as agreed with Luo Fei earlier.
Began questioning.
"Young lady, there’s no need to pretend. Now that Zhao Hailing has been killed, you’ve received one million yuan in compensation. For the next three to five years, you’re at least worry-free about food and drink."
"I think you must be very happy, right?"
Li Yu said, raising an eyebrow.
Seeing her somewhat suspicious, Huang Xiaomei pursed her lips.
"Police sister, I’m happy because my mom finally got the compensation. After all, she treated me like that, and in the end, I was criticized by the school and almost expelled."
"Meanwhile, her monthly allowance was ten to twenty thousand yuan, yet she only compensated me five thousand yuan for medical expenses. What is that enough for?"
Huang Xiaomei spoke.
She raised an eyebrow.
Li Yu also said seriously.
"Miss Huang, although I deeply sympathize with your situation, I still want to remind you to be mindful of your words and actions."
"Otherwise, if you speak poorly, I won’t be able to help you."
Seeing Li Yu’s cold demeanor.
Huang Xiaomei pursed her lips.
"What’s the matter? I’m just being truthful and expressing my honest thoughts."
Huang Xiaomei’s tone was cold.
She also waved her medical record.
"Moreover, I’ve been in the hospital these days, except for restroom breaks, I haven’t left the room."
"The surveillance at the door can prove I’m not lying."
Huang Xiaomei spoke earnestly.
But Li Yu said very seriously.
"Miss Huang, although I can trust you, I think you’ve noticed, haven’t you?"
"Your mom is acting very strange."
Li Yu’s reminder caused Huang Xiaomei’s lips to twitch.
"Officer, what do you mean?"
"Haven’t you noticed? She was clearly nervous when meeting us officers just now."
"I admit, maybe you haven’t left the room and aren’t suspect, but your mom, she’s not next to you 24/7. You mentioned she’s working three jobs now. Does she have no motive at all?"
With this.
The girl fell silent.
She realized.
What was said made perfect sense.
Deep down, she still refused to admit it, so she asked skeptically.
"That shouldn’t be possible, officer. Would my mom do such a thing?"
Seeing the girl in disbelief.
She could barely believe her ears.
Li Yu said.
"Young lady, I’m not necessarily suspecting your mom. But her micro-expressions and subtle actions just now certainly pose concerns."
Li Yu spoke, somewhat hesitantly.
This panicked the girl immediately.
"That shouldn’t be possible, my mom would do something so extreme?"
At this moment.
She genuinely panicked, so sweat beaded on her forehead.
But seeing Li Yu’s somewhat suspicious gaze.
The girl could only pretend to be calm.
"Officer Li, I’m grateful for your willingness to tell me these things. I know you mean well, but I won’t easily suspect my mom, and I have reasons to believe your words are meant to unsettle me to better prove my mom’s issues."
The girl’s words surprised Li Yu.
She felt a bit embarrassed and apologized voluntarily.
"Oh, I’m sorry, young lady. I was a bit hasty."
"I just spilled my thoughts because I hope your mom continues to care for you, not be seen as a murderer or have suspicions."
"I’m here to apologize, hoping you don’t mind."
Li Yu was sincerely apologetic.
But Huang Xiaomei remained unsettled.
Her face was full of contemplation.
"Officer Li, if there’s nothing else, please leave first."
"I’m tired now and want to rest."
Huang Xiaomei said, lying on the bed, nearly curling entirely under the quilt.
Li Yu greeted her before leaving the room.
After a while.
When Li Yu and Luo Fei reached the parking lot.
Su Jianfan, who came for support, noticed.
Li Yu appeared unsettled.
His face was full of worry.
"What’s wrong, Li Yu? Are you upset about something? Did you think of something?"
Seeing Luo Fei looking at him with some surprise.
He blinked.
Li Yu quickly shook his head.
"Nothing. I just simply thought about the girl’s expression just now. I felt maybe she wasn’t lying."
Li Yu’s tone was hesitant.
But Luo Fei smiled reassuringly.
"Li Yu, not knowing what her mother might have done and her mother truly not doing such things are two different matters, you understand that, right?"
Seeing Luo Fei’s seriousness.
Speaking earnestly.
Li Yu nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Luo is right."
"So now we can only wait for the results."
Li Yu felt anxious, hoping the seeds of unrest he planted in the girl would sprout and allow him to find more clues.
Meanwhile, Su Jianfan remarked somewhat irritably.
"Mr. Luo, Old Han, and Old Cai, they’re all on the move. Oh, and Lin Qingshan too."
Su Jianfan said suddenly.
Which piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.
"Why? Has Zhao Hailing offended too many people?"
"So they couldn’t just rule them out quickly?"
Su Jianfan agreed ambiguously.
"Yes, and importantly, Old Han received a mysterious phone call just now. Afterward, sweat started beading on his forehead, and he spoke somewhat awkwardly."
"I asked him why, but he wouldn’t tell me."
Ring, ring!
At that moment, a clear, pleasant ring was heard in the cabin.
Everyone turned to look and found that Lin Zimo’s phone was ringing.
