Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Heh, Mr. Luo. These two people don’t seem very honest, do they?"

Su Jianfan shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Luo Fei was also noncommittal.

"Yes, from the looks of them, they seem to be trying to cover up, deliberately diverting the focus."

"But judging by the way we just questioned them, even if they do know something, they’re probably not going to say it directly."

Luo Fei spoke with a bit of frustration.

Su Jianfan was also noncommittal.

"Mr. Luo is right. So if we want them to honestly tell the truth, we’ll have to put in a bit more effort."

Ring ring ring!

Just at that moment.

Luo Fei’s phone rang.

When he picked it up, he heard a somewhat tense woman’s voice on the other end.

"Mr. Luo, are you available now? I’ve arrived in Changli City and would like to share some clues with you. I’m just not sure if you’ll believe me?"

Upon hearing this voice.

It was Wang Wenzhong’s wife.

Luo Fei was also noncommittal.

"Of course. But ma’am, what made you suddenly decide to disclose clues to us? That’s really quite unexpected."

Luo Fei was somewhat puzzled.

Clearly, the woman’s actions were indeed abnormal, really too sudden.

While the woman took a deep breath.

"Officer, you might not know. Just after meeting you two days ago, my husband started acting very strangely. He always seemed unsettled, which really made me a bit perplexed."

"But although I was puzzled inside, I didn’t ask much. Until he got drunk this morning and started babbling, talking about how he’s sorry to his daughter and such. Only then did I realize something was wrong."

It turns out the woman suspected.

Wang Wenzhong probably did something that he shouldn’t have that affects his daughter, but the police were still unaware.

Upon hearing this.

Luo Fei also nodded.

"I understand, ma’am. I’ll send you the address, and we’ll meet shortly."

More than 20 minutes later.

As Luo Fei arrived at the destination.

The woman was already waiting inside the cafe.

And upon seeing Luo Fei appear.

She promptly came forward to meet him.

"Officer, please help me. I really don’t know whom I can trust right now."

Seeing the woman near breaking down.

Her face was full of bewilderment.

Luo Fei was also somewhat puzzled.

"Ma’am, what’s wrong with you? You seemed perfectly fine before. But how come you don’t trust your husband now?"

The woman seemed a bit dazed.

Her face showed some shock.

But she took a deep breath.

Saying somewhat helplessly.

"Officer, to be honest, after you came by yesterday, I remembered. Before our daughter went missing, my husband mentioned sending her to a private school. He thought such a school could help her become more independent."

"However, because of the child’s grandparents’ strong disapproval, claiming the child was too young and would be bullied, he temporarily gave up."

The woman now looked worn out.

Her eyes were somewhat swollen, her expression slightly dazed.

And at this point, Luo Fei roughly understood.

The woman seemed to say.

She believed that her husband’s sudden change in behavior had a reason.

He probably wanted the daughter to temporarily leave home, to lay low.

So he made such a decision, but didn’t expect things to go so wrong, unable to protect the daughter.

Leading her to encounter such an incident.

Luo Fei said seriously.

"Ma’am, I understand how you feel, but are you certain your analysis isn’t just grasping at straws?"

"Perhaps it was mere coincidence your husband wanted to send the daughter to private school, you never know."

Luo Fei thought perhaps if the husband knew the daughter might be at risk.

He should’ve immediately told his wife, to find ways and strategies together.

Instead of waiting until becoming utterly helpless and only then confessing.

Seeing Luo Fei a little confused.

The woman sighed.

"Officer, even though outsiders might not know, I truly understand my husband. I know he’s the kind who easily keeps everything inside and won’t readily tell his thoughts to others because of maintaining face."

With that, Luo Fei understood.

Actually, Wang Wenzhong probably knew his daughter was at risk much earlier.

Just afraid of being blamed by his wife, accused of negligence.

So he pretended ignorance, deliberately keeping everything to himself.

Upon realizing this.

Luo Fei’s face grew more grim.

"Who would’ve imagined, this man reached such a point, yet still he cares about face, suffering as a result?"

"Officer, that’s his personality. Even if he causes trouble himself, he wouldn’t tell anyone. Sometimes it’s only when he finally tidies up the mess that he thinks to inform others. So I suspect this time he caused trouble again, feeling troubled inside, yet reluctant to tell me directly."

Due to understanding her husband, the woman believed her intuition was correct.

Hearing this, Luo Fei nodded.

Meanwhile.

Su Jianfan cleared his throat and said.

"Mr. Luo, speaking of which, just now I’ve investigated some clues."

"Including monitoring video data before Boss Wang’s daughter’s unfortunate event."

Su Jianfan said that.

Making Luo Fei quite astonished.

"Su Jianfan, you’re impressive! But those surveillance tapes are years old, how did you find them?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s question.

Su Jianfan cleared his throat a bit awkwardly.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, actually the manager of the client department in the villa district you previously inspected has been secretly preserving all surveillance tapes from the villa district."

"Because he secretly kept them, fearing repercussions, he didn’t hand them over to anyone."

"But this time, due to the urgency and to prove his own innocence in this case, he gave us the tapes."

Seeing the sense of accomplishment on Su Jianfan’s face.

Luo Fei was also relieved.

"Su Jianfan, your performance this time is truly excellent. I must say. Evidently, you’re quite meticulous."

Luo Fei’s praise made Su Jianfan a bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, if I truly had the skills, I could catch the suspect directly. But unfortunately, in all the surveillance footage we captured, the person was masked, so the clues we can find are indeed limited."

Although Su Jianfan thought he could’ve done better.

Luo Fei shook his head.

"Su Jianfan, there’s really no need to blame yourself; in my view, your performance was already quite good."

"Plus, since there’s surveillance footage showing someone took the little girl, we should be able to identify the car owner via license plate number and track them down."

Although Luo Fei said this.

Su Jianfan sighed.

"Mr. Luo, actually, to be honest, I specially investigated the car owner beforehand. But the final investigation result. Wasn’t satisfactory."

It turns out, after observing the surveillance footage, Su Jianfan immediately compared the car’s license plate number.

But when he followed the clues from the license plate registration center to find the car owner’s identity.

He was shocked to find the car owner had actually passed away several years ago.

He even found the person’s death certificate.

This outcome.

Clearly unacceptable.

Upon hearing the news.

The woman was also somewhat confused.

"Wait, officer, you’re saying the person who harmed my daughter was long dead?"

Although the woman was extremely agitated, her shoulders trembled, her voice choked.

Luo Fei still spoke sternly.

"Ma’am, even though we discovered the car owner is deceased, the driver at the time wasn’t necessarily them. So we shouldn’t easily lose hope."
