After a while.
As Luo Fei got the phone number of the mother and daughter.
He immediately dialed their number.
But the first call was hung up.
He waited for a moment before calling again.
"Hello, this is Xie’s Roasted Goose Shop. Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, ma’am. I am Luo Fei, the head of the Major Crimes Unit in Changli City. I’m calling to inquire about your ex-husband, Xie Yangming."
Upon hearing the inquiry.
The woman paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but chuckle coldly.
"Sir, you must have the wrong person?"
"That damned ex-husband of mine hasn’t contacted us for nearly seven or eight years. I know he went to the mainland, but we haven’t been in touch since then. I genuinely don’t care if he’s alive or dead now."
"He’s dead."
Luo Fei only uttered three words.
Which shocked the woman immensely.
"Officer, did you say Xie Yangming is dead?"
"Yes, his current wife killed him."
...
Throughout Luo Fei’s explanation, the woman was nearly holding her breath, silent as a cicada in winter.
It was only when Luo Fei reminded her that she spoke somewhat dazedly.
"Officer, although this man had a bad temper before, he wasn’t violent. At least when we were together, he never laid a finger on me. Every argument ended with him coaxing me."
"So, is it possible you’ve made a mistake?"
But hearing her response.
Luo Fei mentioned Xie Yangming’s phone number, home address, ID number, and birthplace.
This almost entirely confirmed the situation for her.
"Officer, everything you’ve said matches his identity information and other details. So, it seems he indeed encountered an unexpected accident?"
At this moment.
The woman was genuinely in a haze.
She almost couldn’t believe her ears.
Her tone clearly showed disbelief.
Seeming like she hadn’t yet calmed from the tension.
Luo Fei said.
"Ms. Gao, although I don’t want to upset you or hurt you."
"But if we want to solve the case, we will need to invite you to Changli City."
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.
Ms. Gao couldn’t help but wear a stern expression.
"Officer, I’m not sure I understand. Since he’s already gone."
"The case is solved, isn’t it unnecessary to keep digging for answers?"
Ms. Gao expressed some skepticism.
But Luo Fei spoke seriously.
"Ms. Gao, that’s not the right approach. After all, you just mentioned that Xie Yangming had a relatively good personality and wouldn’t be violent with you."
"That being said, if he truly cared about his new family, and was happy to have gained a son, he had even less reason to be violent with his current wife."
"That gives us, the police, grounds to suspect that there might be a mystery behind this case."
Luo Fei’s analysis immediately created a sense of unease in Ms. Gao’s heart.
"Officer, I don’t quite understand what you mean?"
"Ms. Gao, I suspect that someone might have murdered your husband and taken over his identity to form a new family with someone else. The motive is likely for profit."
This analysis made Ms. Gao suddenly understand.
"Mr. Luo is right; if this is the case, it seems to explain why his personality changed drastically right after our divorce. It’s as if he became a completely different person."
Sensing her belief in his words, Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"Exactly."
Luo Fei’s affirmation made Ms. Gao suddenly feel a surge of excitement.
"Mr. Luo, if that is the case, then it appears I must make a trip."
Ms. Gao’s firm answer made Luo Fei feel a burst of joy.
"Ms. Gao, it’s excellent that you’re willing to collaborate with our police to investigate this case."
"Our police will give you some time so you can prepare thoroughly for your trip to Changli City."
As the call ended.
Luo Fei also noticed.
In an interrogation room at that moment.
Huang Weiming sat there helplessly.
Across from him, a middle-aged couple looked utterly grief-stricken.
"Huang Weiming, I never expected that our daughter, such a wonderful girl, would end up dead at your hands. You’re nothing but a murderer, and it’s all your fault!"
"Sob sob, our daughter was only 24. She could have found a good family to marry into, and now you’ve ruined it. Huang Weiming, you must pay for my daughter’s life!"
Seeing the couple agitated.
Luo Fei had no choice but to quickly step forward.
"You two, our police have not yet fully clarified the incident, so we cannot hastily conclude that he intentionally harmed anyone. Please grant our police more time to continue a thorough investigation."
Seeing Luo Fei taking the initiative to speak up, providing relief.
Huang Weiming felt immense gratitude within.
So he repeatedly agreed.
"Mr. Luo is right. I ask for your patience, parents. I truly did not commit murder. I’m deeply saddened by Lulu’s death and sympathize with you deeply."
But before Huang Weiming could finish speaking, the middle-aged woman sharply interrupted him.
"Huang Weiming, although this might not be your doing, my daughter encountered danger in your home. So you must take full responsibility for this incident."
