Chapter 1067: Chapter 527: Major Life Event? Reconnaissance _2
The director Blue spoke and was somewhat excited.
His tone carried a hint of relief.
Also, as the phone call ended.
Luo Fei simply made a suggestion.
"Su Jianfan, you don’t have anything scheduled for tomorrow morning, right?"
He glanced at his watch.
It was already past 11 p.m.
Su Jianfan felt a bit puzzled but remained noncommittal.
"You’re right, Mr. Luo. I actually don’t have anything planned."
"Well, since that’s the case, I’m giving you a task."
Upon saying this, Luo Fei’s tone turned contemplative.
This piqued Su Jianfan’s strong interest.
"Mr. Luo, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Su Jianfan’s slight confusion was evident.
Luo Fei replied seriously.
"Actually, it’s nothing major; I just want to say that you should take Miss Lin out for breakfast tomorrow morning."
??
Luo Fei’s sudden request.
Shocked Su Jianfan to his core.
"Mr. Luo, what did you say?"
"I said, you should date Miss Lin more, and make sure your parents don’t catch on. That’s your task."
Luo Fei said as he took over the stack of files from Su Jianfan’s hand.
He bowed his head and began to carefully review them.
He’s eager to find a lead quickly to bring Huang Weimin to justice.
Otherwise, Hu Xueli might become the next Zhong Yuelin, you never know.
Upon hearing such orders.
Lin Zimo, who was beside them, hesitated.
"Mr. Luo, do you think I’m a bit of a burden? Do you think I’m holding you back?"
Lin Zimo was a bit curious.
She knew that upon meeting Director Zhao, she was indeed somewhat overly emotional.
Even a bit tactless.
This might disappoint Luo Fei in her.
But upon hearing Lin Zimo’s doubts.
Luo Fei just laughed it off.
"Miss Lin, you are overthinking."
"I just feel that since you can’t help me with the investigation, it’s better for you to do other things. Unless you know how to question those suspects?"
Luo Fei’s analysis.
Shocked Lin Zimo to her very core.
At this point, she realized.
What the other party said was indeed correct.
She suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo is right."
Seeing that Lin Zimo seemed to hesitate,
appearing to have something to say but unsure of how to proceed.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"So since that’s the case, you might as well follow Su Jianfan to distract Zheng Guorong more."
Almost simultaneously.
He also proposed,
"Additionally, tonight’s late-night snack is on me."
"I actually have some things to discuss with everyone, regarding the recent cases."
After a while.
As Luo Fei arrived at the barbecue stall.
Old Han and Old Cai were already waiting there.
Although it had only been a while.
Cai Junfeng obviously looked refreshed.
His complexion was much better than before. This was worth congratulating.
"Hello, Mr. Luo!"
Almost simultaneously, as Cai Junfeng waved to him.
Luo Fei nodded and said.
"Old Cai, it’s been a few days, hadn’t expected your complexion to improve quite a bit."
Upon hearing this, Old Cai sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Luo, you might not know, for more than half a month now, I’ve been drinking porridge every day. Now just the thought of porridge makes me feel awful."
Old Cai sighed helplessly.
But Old Han just smirked.
"Come on, Old Cai, quit pretending you don’t like getting attention."
Old Han spoke with a smirk.
He couldn’t help but give Old Cai a sidelong look.
Turns out, because of Old Cai’s health issues.
So during this time.
His meals have been specially prepared.
Old Han also specifically instructed the kitchen to take extra care of him.
So overall, everyone was concerned about him.
However.
Just as everyone sat down.
Got ready to eat.
Lin Zimo’s phone rang.
"Hello? Uncle Xia?"
Upon answering, it was Xia Yongkang, Xia Xiyi’s father, calling.
Hearing Lin Zimo’s slight embarrassment and seeming cluelessness.
Xia Yongkang responded seriously.
"Miss Lin, are you with the police now? There’s something I’d like to say to the officers."
Upon hearing, Luo Fei naturally took over the phone.
"Hello, sir. I am Luo Fei, the leader of the major crimes team, my badge number is..."
"Hello, officer. I know of you. No need to be so formal. I arrived at the school just now, and my daughter has explained everything to me."
Hearing the low tone of the other party.
His tone evidently seemed hesitant.
Luo Fei then comforted.
"Mr. Xia, I understand your daughter was frightened. Also, from the current situation, and the testimony I’ve received. She’s presumably innocent. I assure you, we will never wrong a good person. You can rest assured on this point."
"Officer, even so, I am still worried. Additionally, on the victim’s side, I should actively offer my condolences."
"That’s how I feel I should repay them. Wouldn’t you say?"
Noting the other party’s intentions.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"Mr. Xia, having these considerations is certainly commendable."
"I also believe if the girl’s family knew of your intentions, they’d be very grateful indeed."
While Luo Fei agreed, seemingly engaging in small talk.
Yet he could sense.
Boss Xia’s words clearly had ulterior motives.
Perhaps he had other agendas.
Thus, he followed up on the conversation.
"Boss Xia, although I think you called specifically, there must be other reasons, right? Do you have anything more to say?"
"Mr. Luo, actually, for some time, I’ve been investigating Huang Weimin. But due to his father’s considerable influence and backing, I stopped."
"But I’m quite certain that Huang Weimin’s cases aren’t limited to one incident."
Only upon deciphering the other party’s intent, driven by paternal affection, boldly trying to expose Boss Xia as a criminal, in aid of his daughter.
Furthermore willing to assist the police, offering some leads.
Luo Fei’s curiosity was piqued.
"Mr. Xia, you suddenly mention this. Could it be you have an idea?"
Picking up on Luo Fei’s interest.
Wondering if he held significant clues.
Boss Xia remained noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo, speaking of which, I know of a restaurant in Changli City that does private cuisine. It’s quite tasty. I wonder if you are interested in joining me for a cup of tea, and a chat?"
But Boss Xia said this, with a tone of anticipation.
Luo Fei gracefully declined.
"Boss Xia, while I’d love to oblige you."
"But we, as police, don’t accept invitations. Even private gatherings are ideally at home. So I’m afraid I can’t accept your request."
Understanding Luo Fei’s intent.
Mr. Xia fell silent.
"Then how about this, tomorrow at noon, at my place, I invite Mr. Luo for a meal, surely you’ll agree to that?"
"That sounds great. I’ll bring someone along too. Just as a visit to you and your daughter, we can create a record and gather more information."
Luo Fei agreed readily, leaving the other feeling like a weight had been lifted off his mind.
The next morning.
Luo Fei had just woken up and saw Yang Mei sitting downstairs with Li Yu.
However, they weren’t preparing breakfast but were whispering quietly.
Seemingly discussing something not wanting him to know.
Which puzzled Luo Fei somewhat.
"Yang Mei, what are you talking about, being all secretive?"
Spotting Luo Fei’s curious gaze.
Yang Mei quickly explained.
"Mr. Luo, you’re not aware."
"Just now, Song Ruolan came and brought us breakfast. She mentioned she wanted to express gratitude to Su Jianfan’s boss, thanking you for looking after him recently."
Following Yang Mei’s pointing finger.
Luo Fei then noticed.
Indeed, there was quite a spread in the kitchen.
This piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity further.
"What’s up with Sister Song, suddenly being so generous, it’s somewhat surprising."
