Chapter 1033 - 510: Exchanging Smiles? Stay Calm—Part 2
But seeing the people present accusing her like this.
Zhao Mengyao felt both indignant and amused.
"Mr. Luo, it’s not like they said at all!"
"I think they see my father is gone now. They’re afraid their past wrongdoings will be exposed. That’s why they’ve become desperate, and as for Lin Fangfang, she probably knows she made a lot of mistakes, fearing criticism."
"That’s why she felt so ashamed and chose to commit suicide."
Zhao Mengyao spoke passionately, her face flushed.
However, Luo Fei maintained his judgment.
Thus he sternly replied.
"Everyone, please calm down. This matter isn’t something I can judge alone."
"Even if you dislike each other, we must handle this officially."
As Luo Fei spoke.
Deng Wen had already arrived at the office.
So Luo Fei asked.
"Sister Deng Wen, how was last night’s scene investigation?"
Looking at Luo Fei, somewhat expectantly.
Deng Wen patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, based on our current investigation."
"The young man was beaten to death elsewhere, then the body was moved here. So, for now, it seems we can temporarily rule out suspicion on Hu Xueli and her father."
Seeing Deng Wen’s investigation report.
It also indicated that the youth had ingested pesticide by mistake, leading to his inability to resist.
Poisoned and beaten to death at the same time, a double torment.
Luo Fei nodded.
"Deng Wen, thank you for your hard work. This investigation is all thanks to you."
Luo Fei spoke calmly.
But Deng Wen felt there were many doubts in this case, only Luo Fei and his team hadn’t solved them yet.
"Let’s go, Mr. Luo, and check out the scene. Lin Fangfang’s corpse is said to be in a peculiar state."
Just as Deng Wen and Luo Fei were about to leave.
Those present were almost dumbfounded.
"Wait, Mr. Luo, you’re leaving already?"
"This woman already has huge problems. Aren’t you going to arrest her immediately!"
But Luo Fei replied sternly.
"Everyone, we must handle cases officially. Even if you hate each other so much you wish the other were dead, we still have to follow procedure. This is our duty as police officers."
"So before I uncover the truth, I hope you can calm down. We will contact you immediately once the police investigation results are out."
Seeing Luo Fei speak seriously.
A stern expression appeared on his face.
Only then did the people calm down temporarily.
And Zhao Mengyao said very emotionally.
"Mr. Luo, no matter what, this incident has nothing to do with me; it’s definitely not me committing arson and murder. I can swear to the heavens that this has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Mengyao’s eyes were red, her face full of sincerity.
Giving the feeling of a clearly innocent victim.
Luo Fei glanced at her.
And said only two words.
"Let’s go."
Then they got in the car.
Deng Wen couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Mr. Luo, from the evidence we obtained earlier, it seems Lin Fangfang committed suicide. Not the murder they claimed or someone deliberately killing her."
"So these people are entirely worrying needlessly. They’re guilty and panicking, thinking up all sorts of unrealistic ideas, worried they’ll get pulled into a massive problem connected to their father."
Seeing Deng Wen hesitating.
Clearly not understanding their behavior.
She felt incredulous that they previously claimed to have feelings for Zhao Ligang, yet now avoided him completely.
However.
In comparison.
Luo Fei wasn’t surprised by their behavior.
They’re just anxious to clear their connections, to prove their innocence.
To show they didn’t commit murder.
In Luo Fei’s view, their actions were understandable.
"Zhao Mengyao is a big problem."
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei spoke in a deep voice.
This sudden judgment.
Surprised Deng Wen immensely.
"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by that?"
After all, Luo Fei just said she might be trying to prove her innocence, hence her emotional reaction.
But the next second.
He judged Zhao Mengyao as problematic.
This left Deng Wen slightly confused.
Seeing Deng Wen puzzled.
Luo Fei smiled.
"Deng Wen, isn’t this quite obvious?"
"Think about it, if Zhao Mengyao were truly saddened by her father’s death, she wouldn’t be so eager to make a fuss."
"Instead, she’d be busy arranging her father’s funeral."
Luo Fei’s reminder made Deng Wen suddenly realize.
"Right, Mr. Luo’s words make sense. If she were truly sad, she’d logically seek legal means to protect her reputation."
"Even if there were a personal dispute, she’d wait until after her father’s funeral. Yet now, she’s urgently clearing connections. What’s really behind it?"
At this moment.
Deng Wen’s curiosity was truly piqued.
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei and the others arrived at the scene.
Only upon seeing this abandoned pit.
Nearby were low houses on the urban-rural fringe yet to be relocated.
Luo Fei felt the scene was familiar.
Though not familiar from visit, rather in the choice of body disposal location.
"Mr. Luo, doesn’t this disposal site remind you of the previous case where Su Fangfang met danger?"
Hearing Deng Wen share a similar feeling to his own.
Luo Fei nodded.
"Indeed, seems so. Both locations for body disposal and method are similar."
However, the previous perpetrator.
Luo Fei had already caught.
And the person admitted to all their crimes.
Thus, this incident could possibly be copycat crime.
Only.
While Luo Fei was pondering.
A man approached hastily from a distance.
And just one or two meters away, fell to his knees.
Seeing such a scene.
Luo Fei was bewildered.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"Officer, I’m guilty. I admit I killed my wife. I buried her here. I shouldn’t have done it!"
Seeing the man uneasy and fearful.
Yet showing no hesitation in speech.
Luo Fei exchanged a glance with Li Yu.
"Sir, are you sure you know what you’re saying?"
"Did you really do it, and confess without reservation?"
Seeing Luo Fei seemed hesitant.
His face showing some suspicion.
The man spoke firmly.
"Mr. Luo, I’m sure because my wife had been involved with Zhao Ligang. She admitted it. She even told me my son wasn’t mine, but my friend’s. For more than a decade, I’ve been raising someone else’s child."
"I got emotional and lost control, leading me to kill her."
But hearing the man’s words.
Luo Fei exchanged a smile with Deng Wen.
"Sir, generally, we’ll believe your confession."
"But based on your micro-expressions and demeanor, you’re clearly lying. Your gaze flickers and your shoulders tremble, suppressing your anguish."
"The evidence shows you still love her and care deeply. Just feeling since she’s dead, you don’t wish to live, saying these words in desperation. Am I right?"
Luo Fei’s sharp gaze, reasoning with evidence.
The man suddenly burst into tears.
