Free Web NovelChapter 1076: Chapter 532: Unusual Fetish? Catching the Suspect
But after hearing Feifei’s mom analyze it like that,
Old Han couldn’t help spitting out a complaint.
"Ma’am, if you’d already noticed something was off about him, then why didn’t you report it to the police earlier? Why drag it out until now to talk? Do you know what kind of consequences your choice might bring?"
At that moment,
Old Han’s expression was extremely grave.
But it was clear he was a bit troubled; he even rubbed his temples.
Feifei’s mom, however, looked a little aggrieved.
"Officer, I originally thought he was just fooling around a bit. I figured if we got married and got the license later, maybe he’d change. Who would’ve thought he had such a...special fetish?"
Feifei’s mom was really almost speechless.
After all, she’d never imagined the man in her heart would turn out to be such a pervert.
You could tell she really felt wronged.
And she was also somewhat caught between laughter and tears.
Luo Fei, on the other hand, stayed relatively calm.
"Ma’am, forget it. Since it’s already happened,"
"we can only handle it by the book. But given the current situation, this man’s outcome is basically set in stone. The key now is to rule out suspicion on you and your daughter."
Luo Fei’s tone was completely serious, his face stern.
This instantly made Feifei’s mom a little nervous; her face went pale.
"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting that my daughter and I might be the bad guys?!"
You could see Feifei’s mom found it a bit unbelievable.
Her face also turned somewhat deathly pale.
Luo Fei hurried to reassure her.
"Ma’am, don’t get nervous. I don’t have any other meaning behind what I said. It’s not like I’m one hundred percent certain you’re a suspect."
"We just have to make sure this case has no direct connection to you."
In Luo Fei’s view,
even though the suspect had already been caught,
there was still some aftermath work to be done.
After all, there were still some doubts in this case.
For example, how exactly did Yang Jianfu get his foster daughter’s classmates’ and their parents’
relevant information?
Was it provided by someone in the family?
Buzz—
On Luo Fei’s way back to the Major Crimes Unit,
Lan Gang had already sent a text message.
"Mr. Luo, we found the classmates’ book that the victim’s daughter lost in his office, along with photocopies of the parents’ phone directory."
"From these clues, it looks like he first saw his daughter’s classmates’ book, and only then decided to start with Liu Sihao."
This analysis made Luo Fei realize
that this mother and daughter seemed to be in the clear.
Because the foster daughter was the class life committee member, it was perfectly reasonable for her to have her classmates’ contact info and addresses.
And since she’d already told the teacher earlier that the classmates’ book had mysteriously gone missing,
that showed she wasn’t aware of how the case unfolded.
"Got it. But even so, we still can’t slack off. We’d better check Yang Jianfu’s spouse’s phone as well, see if she was helping him commit these crimes."
Although Luo Fei had just spoken with her,
and she came across as very innocent, giving the impression she knew nothing about it,
there’s always that one-in-ten-thousand chance.
And seeing how rigorous Luo Fei was being,
Li Yu beside him couldn’t help but praise him.
"Mr. Luo, facts prove you really are meticulous, and your thinking is very thorough."
Li Yu was full of praise.
But Luo Fei only smiled and shook his head.
"It’s nothing, just part of my job."
Luo Fei spoke as if it were no big deal, his tone completely casual.
Li Yu, however, hesitated a bit.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve actually been thinking about something just now, and I still can’t make sense of it. I don’t know if I can run it by you?"
Hearing his intent,
Luo Fei was also a little curious.
"Li Yu, what exactly are you talking about?"
Seeing a hint of puzzlement appear on Luo Fei’s face,
Li Yu patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, I was thinking: if Yang Jianfu wanted to find some young girl with bad intentions, then why did he go to Liu Sihao’s home first?"
"Does that mean this man has some other special fetish or what?"
Li Yu’s question made Luo Fei pause for a moment; he even seemed like he wanted to speak but held back.
"Li Yu, if I say I have a bold guess, would you want to hear the details?"
Then,
Luo Fei briefly laid out his idea.
But when he heard
that there was a high chance Yang Jianfu had mistaken Liu Sihao for a girl,
Li Yu thought he’d misheard.
"Wait a second, Mr. Luo, what did you just say?"
"It’s not that strange, is it? After all, if you hadn’t met him in person, and you went in with a preconceived notion when making a judgment, it’d be hard to easily tell whether Liu Sihao was male or female. Right?"
This kind of analysis from Luo Fei
made the corner of Li Yu’s mouth twitch.
"I didn’t expect it would actually be because of something like this?"
At that moment,
Li Yu was genuinely a bit stunned.
Seeing how she found it hard to believe,
she almost couldn’t trust her own ears.
Luo Fei patiently went on.
"I saw the screenshot of that contact list just now. Maybe to make it easier to remember, the students in their major had their student ID numbers divided by odd and even to distinguish male and female."
"So in the contact book, there were only phone numbers, names, and student ID numbers."
Luo Fei’s explanation
made the corner of Li Yu’s mouth twitch again.
"So you’re saying this all happened because the school wanted to protect the students’ privacy?"
At this moment,
Li Yu really felt about ready to be dumbfounded.
Seeing that she found it rather unbelievable,
it was clear she’d never expected things to turn out this way.
Luo Fei said seriously,
