Free Web NovelChapter 1072: Chapter 530: Playing Hard to Get, the Hidden Killer
It’s strange, really. Normally, these thugs are all over the place.
But this time, when they saw Luo Fei appear.
They quieted down almost instantly.
Including the two brothers at the table.
"Everyone, I need you to truthfully tell me about Zhao Hailing’s situation. Also, did she provoke anyone?"
In the next half hour or so, Luo Fei asked each of them in turn.
But their statements were surprisingly consistent.
This made Luo Fei suspicious.
Did they discuss ahead of time?
To give the same testimony.
"So, Mr. Luo, have you found anything from your investigation?"
As they exited the room.
When they saw Luo Fei appear.
His face was incredibly grave.
Li Yu and Yang Mei were holding their breath, focusing hard.
But at this moment, Luo Fei couldn’t help but shake his head.
"I’m really sorry, you two. Although I wish I could tell you I’ve figured it out. But based on the testimonies from those people just now, Zhao Hailing really didn’t have any issues with people outside."
It turns out, after Luo Fei’s investigation.
Li Yu and the others found out.
This Zhao Hailing, although at a glance seems like a delinquent girl.
Hanging out with a bunch of little thugs.
But in reality, most of the time.
She just called these people to back her up but wouldn’t really have them do anything excessive.
However, this information surprised Li Yu somewhat.
"That’s wrong. Didn’t Lin Zimo say before that Zhao Hailing’s bad reputation was widely known?"
"And many people are aware of her bullying classmates. But seeing Li Yu somewhat astonished, seemingly not understanding why the classmates’ and these thugs’ stories are completely different."
Luo Fei just chuckled.
"Li Yu, this is what you don’t know. After all, today’s young people are not as simple as they used to be."
"Some of them like to spread rumors, which is understandable. Not to mention, if Zhao Hailing was too flamboyant, she could attract resentment or even jealousy, which is also understandable."
Luo Fei’s analysis made it hard for Li Yu to believe.
But now the facts were right in front of her.
She had no choice but to believe Luo Fei’s words.
"Mr. Luo, if that’s the case, does that mean we wrongly accused Zhao Hailing?"
"Not necessarily."
Luo Fei clearly understood that today’s teenagers are sensitive and fragile.
Some of them are only children, spoiled by their parents.
So most of them can’t stand others being more attention-grabbing than them, or always overshadowing them.
But Luo Fei’s analysis.
Made Li Yu and the others frown.
"Mr. Luo, so you’re suggesting that whether the victim was Zhao Hailing or not, the murderer wouldn’t care. Their target might have been someone in Xia Xiyi’s dormitory or even the entire dormitory?"
Seeing Li Yu was hesitant to speak.
Also found the outcome somewhat unbelievable.
Luo Fei was serious.
"We can’t rule out that possibility. But if that’s the case, these two cases were probably not committed by the same person. Because it doesn’t look like what the same kind of mind would do."
Luo Fei’s analysis made Li Yu nod.
"Listening to Mr. Luo’s analysis, it does seem to be the case."
Almost at the same time, Old Cai received a call from Old Han.
"Old Cai, I’ve just gone through everything. Although it’s unfortunate, I still have to say. So far, among the school’s faculty, we haven’t found our target."
This news made everyone’s expressions suddenly become incredibly grave.
"So, does this mean this person isn’t from the school either?"
But hearing Li Yu’s analysis, Luo Fei was very certain.
"No, that’s not reasonable. If they’re not from the school, how did they get the students’ roster? That doesn’t make sense either?"
At this moment, seeing Luo Fei was hesitant to speak.
Li Yu could only sigh.
"Mr. Luo, if your inference is correct, and the culprit isn’t a school staff member, then perhaps we only have one guess left."
"Yes, perhaps this case was committed by a student’s parent. We just don’t know their motive yet."
However, although Luo Fei said this.
He actually knew deep down.
The perpetrator’s target is likely among the students’ parents in Xia Xiyi’s class.
So he immediately dialed Xia Xiyi’s homeroom teacher’s number.
"Mr. Lin, we’ve discovered some information from our investigation."
"And this investigation has led us to mainly suspect that the perpetrator is likely a student’s parent. So, if possible, I hope you can make home visits to all the students in your class. Especially pay close attention to their fathers."
Hearing Luo Fei’s suggestion.
The teacher felt a bit embarrassed.
He also understands well.
That the suggestion is entirely reasonable.
However, realizing this.
The teacher felt quite embarrassed at the moment.
"But Mr. Luo, if that’s the case, assisting with the investigation will take more time, so patience will be required."
After all, Mr. Lin also knew, his class had over a hundred students.
Even after excluding a small number from single-parent families.
Contacting each parent and ruling out their suspicions is a huge task in itself.
