Free Web NovelChapter 1071: Chapter 529: Another Murder Case? Abruptly Interrupted (Part 2)
So perhaps, Liu Sihao doesn’t remember whether this person was ever his teacher, or maybe he was another employee at the school, possibly even the guard.
Just witnessing that Luo Fei was watching him intently.
His face was full of seriousness.
At this moment, Liu Hongjin remained suspicious.
This almost instantly froze the atmosphere in the room.
Lucky for him, Li Yu and Yang Mei had already completed the autopsy and emerged.
They informed Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, the deceased showed signs of struggle before death. However, her mouth was blocked by a pillow. Additionally, given the clothes on her were undamaged, it seems she wasn’t assaulted, so we can temporarily rule out a crime of passion."
This piece of information.
Made both Liu Sihao and his father breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Because this meant.
There wasn’t any immediate indication of infidelity for Liu Hongjin.
"You brat, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, your mom wouldn’t have gotten into trouble!"
But just as Liu Sihao was about to relax.
Liu Hongjin raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his head.
This sudden action left Liu Sihao feeling bewildered.
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
At this moment.
The son was genuinely confused by his father’s hit.
But the old father was unapologetic.
"Do you even need to ask? Even if your mom wasn’t seduced by someone, perhaps you caused trouble at school, which led enemies to our door. They saw you weren’t home so they killed your mom!"
Seeing the father with a flushed face.
At this point, veins were bulging on his forehead, and he was furious.
Liu Sihao was completely perplexed.
"Dad, how can you make such baseless claims? Besides, who can say for sure that this case was caused by me? Maybe when you were doing business, you were too outspoken, and someone bore a grudge! That’s what led to mom’s end!"
Seeing his son blame him.
The old father was even more frustrated, nearly boiling over.
However, from his own perspective.
Perhaps the son also had a point.
More importantly, Luo Fei’s face was incredibly somber now, and he didn’t dare to cause more chaos.
So, he swallowed his pride and said.
"Officer, if possible, I truly hope you can help us solve this case. We entrust this matter regarding my wife to you."
Luo Fei listened to this and then spoke.
"Based on the current situation, we might need to start with Liu Sihao’s teachers and elders around him..."
"But officer, there aren’t any teachers at our school with this accent. Not to mention those we haven’t been in contact with, they wouldn’t bear a grudge..."
At this moment, Liu Sihao was clueless.
Totally in despair.
Meanwhile, Liu Hongjin suggested.
"Officer, do you think it’s possible? Was it that Xia Xiyi, or perhaps some thug around Zhao Mengyao?"
Undoubtedly, bad news travels fast.
Even Liu Hongjin had heard about Zhao Mengyao’s case.
But Luo Fei remained serious.
"Mr. Liu, I understand your eagerness to solve the case. But you can’t just suspect randomly."
"Do you have any evidence that can prove this case relates to Zhao Mengyao?"
Hearing Luo Fei’s inquiry, Liu Hongjin went silent.
Liu Sihao also added.
"Officer, this matter likely has nothing to do with Zhao Mengyao. Although we’re in the same class, we rarely communicate and have never had conflicts."
Luo Fei saw that Liu Sihao was seriously analyzing the situation.
He then nodded.
"I understand. But to rule out suspicion, I still have to speak to the former thugs around Zhao Mengyao."
"Meanwhile, I ask both of you to remain calm. And don’t jump to conclusions."
Luo Fei’s serious analysis.
Gave Liu Sihao some relief.
"Officer, I leave the investigation of this case to you."
"It’s no problem; it’s my duty."
After re-examining the crime scene, he collected the weapon used to kill the victim, a tie.
Almost simultaneously, Luo Fei dialed a number on his phone.
And called it.
"Old Cai, do you know all the thugs around the school?"
"Rest assured, Mr. Luo. After dining with you last night, I had already called them to report to the major crimes unit this morning. So they are waiting for you here now."
Upon hearing Old Cai’s answer, Luo Fei felt a bit relieved.
Only observing from a distance, the father and son continued to blame each other, even nearly reaching the point of fighting.
Li Yu couldn’t help but rest her chin on her hand.
"These two are quite something."
Seeing Li Yu’s amused yet helpless expression.
Luo Fei sent the audio recording to Liu Sihao’s school teachers.
Asking them to match the voice to see if there was a middle-aged person with such an accent.
"Mr. Luo, but there’s something I don’t understand. This person entered the house but didn’t steal or assault. So what was the motive for killing?"
Yang Mei’s question was also what puzzled Luo Fei.
Because most people kill with a purpose.
Like a crime of passion or revenge.
But this time, the suspect’s motive was clearly vague, somewhat perplexing.
"Let’s talk to those thugs first."
After a while.
With a group returning to the major crimes unit.
Su Jianfan and Lin Zimo awaited them at the door.
Just seeing the two appear.
Luo Fei was a bit surprised.
"Weren’t you told specifically not to come to the station? So why did you still come here?"
Luo Fei had previously given orders, hoping these two would focus on their date.
But right now, Su Jianfan helplessly sighed and said.
"Mr. Luo, I didn’t intend to. But Lin Zimo said she remembered an important clue. So she needed to discuss it with us."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei glanced at Lin Zimo and said.
"Miss Lin, if I’m not mistaken, you’re likely here to plead for your friend, am I right?"
Seeing Luo Fei quickly discern her thoughts.
Lin Zimo was noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo is correct. But I’ve indeed found some clues, related to Xia Xiyi’s roommates."
Before she could finish speaking.
Luo Fei gestured.
"Let me talk to these thugs first. Otherwise, if they get impatient, it can be troublesome."
With that, Luo Fei walked straight to the meeting room.
Only, as he pushed the door open, he saw quite a few thugs here.
Some were drinking tea, while others sat on the conference table playing cards, using their phones for games.
But at the instant Luo Fei entered the office, nearly all the thugs became obedient.
"Hello, Mr. Luo!"
With Ah Kun greeting him.
Luo Fei chuckled and asked.
"You’ve barely recovered from bed; is your injury healed?"
Luo Fei worried that Ah Kun was forcing himself.
Coming to meet him with injuries.
But Ah Kun sincerely replied.
"Rest assured, Mr. Luo. I’m fine now. I just couldn’t stand being in the hospital room for a few days, so I decided to come out to relax."
"Moreover, I know all these brothers."
As Ah Kun spoke.
A wiry, buzz-cut kid chimed in.
"Mr. Luo, you might not know."
"Once Kun became an informant under you, everyone spoke highly of him. And they’re all willing to offer him information."
"Is that so? Then this sounds like a good thing?"
Luo Fei’s tone was somewhat teasing.
Which made Ah Kun a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, I know it was by chance that you picked me, which is why I’m appreciated. I also told them that being an informant is no joke, it’s not about playing hero, and could even cost one their life if not careful."
Seeing Ah Kun speak seriously.
His face full of earnestness.
Luo Fei slightly relaxed.
"Hmm, you spoke rightly."
Almost simultaneously, he also turned to all the thugs.
"Gentlemen, please sit. I need to ask you about Zhao Hailing’s case, so I hope everyone cooperates actively."
