Free Web NovelChapter 1074: Chapter 531: Chasing Shadows, Suicide from Guilt
Looking at Luo Fei, his expression was calm and unperturbed.
The teacher, however, felt a wave of regret in her heart.
After all, in her eyes, this student was pretty decent.
It’s just unfortunate that it’s come to this.
There was no turning back.
"Mr. Luo, but if this girl is really guilty, doesn’t that mean that Huang Weiming didn’t poison Xia Xiyi? It’s just a coincidence?"
Li Yu reminded at this moment.
Luo Fei also gave no definitive answer.
"Li Yu, you’re right."
"So it’s also very possible that we’ve misunderstood Huang Weiming, and he has nothing directly to do with this case."
Although Luo Fei said so.
Li Yu knew it well in her heart.
This wasn’t actually a good thing.
Because it didn’t particularly help Li Yu in their investigation of Hu Xueli’s case.
Fortunately, Luo Fei was still open-minded and calm.
At this moment, he merely shrugged and said,
"But there’s nothing we can do about it. After all, you can’t accuse someone without evidence of committing a crime they haven’t. That’s not right either."
Just as Luo Fei and Li Yu were speaking.
Teacher Lin suddenly spoke with some excitement.
"Mr. Luo, I just received a call. A student’s parent reported, saying she seems to have heard that man’s voice somewhere. So she wants to tell you the situation."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei immediately prepared to leave with Li Yu.
Over twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the student’s house.
"Hello officer, I heard from my daughter that something happened at her school. And they left behind a recording. So, it suddenly occurred to me that a few days ago, a strange man indeed came to our house. Moreover, he said some strange things."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei felt a bit of anticipation.
"Madam, please take your time and tell us, what exactly happened?"
Seeing Luo Fei was interested in what she had to say.
The woman explained patiently.
"Officer, at that time, he first contacted me by phone. He asked if I lived at Unit 601 in Sunshine Garden Complex. I was puzzled about who he was."
"The other party said he was my daughter’s temporary class teacher. Because Teacher Lin was sick, he was substituting to conduct the home visit."
"I saw through the peephole that he looked cultured and well-mannered, so I let him in."
But seeing the lady was confused.
The daughter beside her was exasperated.
"Mom, are you out of your mind?"
"How can you be sure he was a good person? What if he was a bad guy?"
"Weren’t you inviting a wolf into the house?"
The daughter was truly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
But the mother seemed somewhat hesitant and unsure.
"I didn’t know either, and he even mentioned your student number, your class, and your major. I thought he was legitimate. Who would have thought this man could be a murderer?"
As the mother and daughter spoke.
Luo Fei also noticed.
Next door to room 601 was 602.
Unlike other buildings with separate entrances.
The dividing wall between these two units was opened.
There was even a door in between.
"Madam, was it just you at home when that man came?"
"Yes, our family lives together. My husband, my daughter, and I live in 601. My parents, when they came, lived in 602. But these days, the elders happened to be back home. So the next door was empty."
As it turned out, at that time, the stranger intended to open the door next door.
But the lady said her family was resting next door and stopped him.
Seeing she wasn’t apparently home alone, and another neighbor knocked on the door.
The man quickly exchanged a few pleasantries and then hurriedly left.
Hearing the woman’s explanation.
Luo Fei smiled and shook his head.
"Madam, it seems that the special structure of your home truly saved your life."
Luo Fei said, pointing at the door in the middle.
"Because the man likely saw the door closed and wasn’t sure if someone was next door. He feared he might have been exposed, so he didn’t act against you."
Luo Fei’s words sent a chill through the woman.
"Wait a minute, officer, do you mean."
"That man intended to harm me? But I don’t even know him, nor did I have any hatred. Why would he do such a thing?"
Seeing the woman’s face turn pale, almost fainting from fright.
Luo Fei comforted her.
"Madam, please don’t worry. I know this is an old neighborhood, and there are no surveillance cameras."
"But don’t worry, our police will definitely sketch a portrait of this person based on your description. This will aid in big data analysis and catch him."
Luo Fei’s patient explanation made the woman excited.
"Officer, if you could really catch him, that would be wonderful."
Seeing her hesitation to speak,
fearing he might return.
Luo Fei immediately took out a sketchbook and a pencil to start drawing the portrait of the man.
Under his guidance, the lady described the man’s appearance.
After seeing Luo Fei’s sketch,
she was filled with admiration.
"Mr. Luo, yes. That’s the man! You’re truly skillful, even drawing the portrait so vividly."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fei handed the picture to Teacher Lin next to him.
