Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

It was only when Luo Fei asked this.

The tone was somewhat haunting.

The young man trembled all over at this moment.

"Officer, how did you come to this conclusion?"

He looked a bit nervous, sweat forming on his forehead.

Luo Fei smiled too.

"Young man, if you know something, it’s best to come clean with the police. After all, it holds significant importance for the upcoming case investigation."

And seeing Luo Fei’s serious expression.

The young man held his breath in concentration.

"Officer, to be honest."

"Actually, I never told my mom that dad called me before he went missing. I was afraid she might get overly emotional or even lose control."

"Plus, Dad told me to not reveal the truth to mom. He feared she would collapse. So, all these years, I’ve kept quiet about it."

It turns out.

The son always knew.

His mom was a very emotional person.

Always emitting negative energy to those around her.

And she has a sort of chaotic nature.

If she knew that the father’s disappearance might be due to foul play.

She would probably cause a huge commotion at any cost.

If that were the case.

The young man, who was not yet an adult then, would also be in danger.

"So, in this sense, your father was quite foresighted. He indeed understood your mother well. Because he managed this matter quietly, you and your mom dodged a bullet, right?"

Hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.

The young man awkwardly curled his lips.

"Officer, although my father left instructions for me beforehand, I don’t necessarily think my father was completely right."

Seeing the young man hesitating, his expression a bit serious.

Luo Fei was also caught off guard.

"Young man. Your words, I don’t quite get it."

But seeing Luo Fei confused.

The young man neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Mr. Luo, isn’t this common sense?"

"If my father were truly a responsible adult. He should have prepared before the scandal broke out, instead of just thinking about escaping without leaving a way out for mom and me."

It turns out, when Zhao Dekai left home.

He took all his bank cards and passbooks.

Didn’t leave a penny for his son and wife.

And his wife was a housewife for ten years.

For those ten years, she lived off a household allowance.

Had no work experience.

So, when Zhao Wenjun was ten years old, life was tough.

Each morning, his mom wasn’t home, only cold breakfast left.

Returning home at night, he had to endure his mom’s nagging.

After that, she would go to work at night.

Work three jobs every day.

Just to raise her son.

And pay off the huge debts her husband left.

"So even knowing dad is gone, I feel no sadness. I even feel a bit of relief. I think. His death is deserved. He had it coming."

Hearing his son’s words.

Luo Fei didn’t know how to comfort him for a moment.

After all, he understood.

Family matters are hard to judge.

The young man’s words do make sense.

What he could do was very limited.

Seeing Luo Fei silent.

The young man still felt a bit embarrassed.

"Officer, you won’t just arrest me because of what I said, will you?"

"Those were just words of frustration. But you know, asking me to commit murder or actually do something out of line, I’d never dare."

Seeing Zhao Wenjun embarrassed, sweat forming on his forehead.

Luo Fei smiled.

"Nothing like that, I just hope you, keep an eye on your mom. Maybe she did something, but you don’t know."

Luo Fei was too well aware.

Even if Chen Rongzhi was really angry at her husband.

After his disappearance, she couldn’t simply ignore it.

Never even asked once.

So she most likely reported to the police.

It’s just later, for some reason or someone managed to silence her. Thus, she didn’t pursue further.

"Isn’t it impossible, Mr. Luo? You mean my mom knew she might be targeted, threatened or tempted, so she chose to keep quiet?"

"It’s not impossible."

Luo Fei knew all too well.

After all, at such times.

Facing a betrayer, a heartless man who abandoned her.

And one who gave her hope, even willing to bribe her with money.

The choice the person would make.

Is almost obvious, even beyond doubt.

It was during this realization.

Zhao Wenjun started questioning life.

Especially about his mother.

His understanding had changed.

Seeing Zhao Wenjun incredulous.

Stunned in place.

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

"Young man, you must have some inkling. That’s why you subconsciously distanced yourself from your mother, kept your distance. Right?"

Luo Fei’s question left the young man ambivalent.

"Officer, you’re right. I have deliberately kept my distance from her..."

Though the young man wouldn’t admit it verbally.

But he knew deep down.

All along, he had been somewhat resistant toward his mother.

It was because he felt, he couldn’t open his heart to her.
