Chapter 1228 - 608: Seasoned and Lenient
Maybe it’s because she has followed Luo Fei in investigating several cases before.
So Lan Mengzhou has grown a lot by now.
She is also clearly aware now.
That many cases require in-depth investigation, and one absolutely cannot just look at the surface.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Luo, I will later find these kids and their parents to question them carefully to see if we have missed any clues."
Seeing Lan Mengzhou so composed and straightforward, she was increasingly proficient.
Luo Fei was also immensely gratified.
"Officer Lan, facts have proven, you have grown a lot. The whole person is somewhat different from before."
This kind of praise made Lan Mengzhou somewhat embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I am no different from before. I just feel that when investigating, I should be more attentive and absolutely cannot trust anyone easily again."
Noticing she seemed hesitant to speak.
Her expression was slightly serious.
It seemed she had something to say.
Luo Fei understood.
Lan Mengzhou had somewhat grown up, but correspondingly,
the cost was also great.
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei also received a phone call.
"Officer, I want to report a crime because I know a serious injury incident happened recently right here in Shenchuan. So I suspect this criminal might be the local bully who caused it."
Hearing the caller’s nervous tone, seemingly trembling.
Luo Fei was inevitably surprised.
"Really, in that case, do you know any clues related to the case?"
Hearing Luo Fei’s question.
The caller neither confirmed nor denied it.
"Yes, Officer. I am absolutely not speculating or making a false report."
"But I know that this man, in order to force his elder father to give him living expenses, when the father refused, he beat him violently. Just last month, his father had already been beaten into the hospital, yet he still wouldn’t stop."
Although the person spoke convincingly.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but doubt.
"Sir, how do you know about this? After all, ordinarily, this is someone’s family matter, and generally, people wouldn’t disclose family shame. So, what is your relationship with the victim?"
Hearing Luo Fei ask like this.
The person was suddenly somewhat awkward.
"Officer, actually, I am the elder son of the old man beaten into the hospital."
It turned out.
This person was none other than the injured old man, Zhu Wensheng’s elder son, Zhu Wu.
He and his younger brother were both Zhu Wensheng’s biological sons.
And their father, Zhu Wensheng, worked hard all his life.
He saved fifty thousand yuan.
Using thirty thousand to buy a marriage house for his elder son, enabling him to marry and have children, living on the busiest street in the county.
The younger son was spoiled by their father and dropped out of high school to work in a factory.
But still, the father doted on the younger son, even using his remaining twenty thousand yuan to build a two-story house.
Living with the younger son and helping arrange a marriage for him, enabling him to find a wife and have a son and a daughter.
Hearing this news, Luo Fei was also somewhat astonished.
"Sir, from what you say, despite your father spoiling your brother like this, your brother still physically attacked your father and even put him in the hospital?"
In Luo Fei’s view, this father had been extremely kind to his son.
If it had been someone else, the son would have probably been kicked out long ago, perhaps even disowned.
But hearing Luo Fei’s surprise, Zhu Wu couldn’t help but sigh.
"Officer, you might not know. Even after my brother got married, he has still been living off our dad, using his money, living with him. Not only that, but he also envies me, saying that our father favored me because he gave me a thirty thousand yuan house, which has increased in value over the years. But he’s in the village, where his house is now only worth twenty thousand."
"So not too long ago, he insisted I should make up the ten thousand yuan difference for him as compensation for emotional distress."
Hearing Zhu Wu’s words.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
"What on earth, in this day and age, are there really such outrageous children?"
"It’s more than that. He even said that if the house price goes up again in the future, I would have to make up the difference again."
Hearing Zhu Wu’s explanation, Luo Fei also raised his eyebrows.
Unquestionably.
This younger brother was scheming against his elder brother.
He calculates that, once their father is gone, he could continue to depend on his elder brother to make up the price difference for his living costs.
This way, he would never have to work and could just freeload forever.
Thinking of this,
Luo Fei’s expression turned stern.
"From what you’re saying, your brother indeed was spoiled by your father, and now it’s out of control."
"Isn’t it true, Officer, he’s really a bastard. On several occasions, just because of arguments with our father, he would grab a kitchen knife and chase our father from the house he built with his hard work. He even threatened to kill him if he dared to return. I, as his elder brother, along with other relatives, have repeatedly tried to persuade him, but to no avail. He remains obstinate."
"If things continue like this, sooner or later, I’m afraid he will do something atrocious and harm lives."
Hearing this analysis,
