Chapter 1193 - 590: Coming Clean? Spendthrift Parents (2)
Express your true thoughts directly, convey your inner desires.
That’s why he decided to date a woman much older than himself.
"Officer, do you think that what I’m doing is abnormal?"
"Would you blame me for this? Or even try to break us apart?"
His counterpart seemed hesitant to speak.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
The middle-aged woman beside him remained silent throughout.
Her expression was solemn, her eyes filled with deep concern for the young man.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"Young man, let me be honest with you. I’ve encountered many mismatched couples before, usually older men with their mistresses or wives who were about the same age as their daughters."
"But I don’t judge them excessively because of this. I actually think it’s their freedom and doesn’t concern me."
Luo Fei said this with an extremely calm tone.
This made the young man immediately feel relieved.
"Officer, I must thank you for that."
Looking at the young man proactively thanking him.
Luo Fei was serious in reminding him.
"Young man, although I don’t mind your actions, don’t forget what I’ve said."
Luo Fei’s reminder made the young man continuously agree.
"Officer, rest assured, I promise to complete the task. If anything arises, I will definitely communicate with you promptly. Now you can be assured, right?"
As Luo Fei and He Jiayun were preparing to leave.
Su Jianfan excitedly informed Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, we just compared a portion of information in the gene database."
"I’ve found a match with the missing person registry, and her parents are still local and available for interviews."
This clue provided by Su Jianfan was undoubtedly important.
This filled Luo Fei with immense gratitude.
"Indeed, this is a critical clue. Let’s head over immediately to find this couple."
After a while.
As Su Jianfan turned the car keys.
Luo Fei and his team reached their destination.
"Officer, is there news about our daughter? Is she no longer alive?"
As Luo Fei and his team entered the elderly couple’s home.
Their expressions were complex as they looked at him.
Seeing their hesitance.
Luo Fei took a deep breath and patiently explained.
"Firstly, please allow me to apologize to you both."
"Although we haven’t found your daughter’s complete remains, we found an arm buried with another man’s corpse in a coffin."
These words from Luo Fei.
Instantly made the elderly couple’s faces turn pale.
"Oh my God, how could this happen? What did our daughter do wrong to deserve this treatment?"
The couple looked agitated.
Luo Fei spoke sternly.
"It’s an incident none of us wanted to see."
"However, this doesn’t necessarily mean your daughter is gone. There might still be a chance for survival. We need more investigation before concluding."
"Moreover, we’re testing and re-examining ashes in the urn, hoping we find some clues."
Luo Fei spoke with a melancholic tone.
But the couple felt their hearts breaking.
They were stunned with disbelief.
"We can’t believe it; our daughter met such an end."
They covered their mouths, faces showing disbelief.
Clearly, they believed their daughter was likely doomed.
Luo Fei remained noncommittal.
"I’m truly sorry."
"Though I understand your feelings, I need to ask you about your daughter’s affairs, especially with Shen Liufeng."
Upon hearing this.
Their breathing became heavier.
They couldn’t hide their frustration.
"Officer, to be honest."
"We’ve known all along this wasn’t our daughter’s fault but that man’s."
"Indeed, if he hadn’t deceived our daughter with sweet words, she might not have gone astray. Personally, I blame him entirely!"
Seeing both of them blaming Shen Liufeng.
Luo Fei spoke solemnly.
"You are merely ordinary retirees with modest incomes even when you work."
"Yet this house is extravagantly furnished. It must have cost a lot, right? You probably didn’t pay for it yourselves, did you?"
With Luo Fei’s anticipation.
They remained noncommittal.
"Officer, we admit these were gifts from Shen Liufeng."
"We asked him why he gave them, especially since we opposed his relationship with our daughter. But he claimed it was merely logical."
"He hoped we’d understand his intentions, and even if we didn’t accept, it wouldn’t matter."
Although this was their claim.
Luo Fei felt the situation was suspicious.
"Even if he said so, wasn’t it suspicious Shen Liufeng bribed you despite your disapproval of his relationship with your daughter?"
Luo Fei’s analysis embarrassed them.
"Officer, your reasoning seems plausible. From our perspective, maybe Shen liked spending unnecessarily, hence he gave us these gifts."
"Really? You just take it for granted?"
Luo Fei’s tone was sarcastic.
This embarrassed them further.
At this point, He Jiayun also sternly spoke.
"You shouldn’t pretend ignorance. Even if you don’t admit it, I suspect you felt obliged seeing his gifts."
"Moreover, he probably gave you a large sum for your retirement. If you reported him, you’d have to return that money, so you chose to look the other way, pretending you knew nothing. Am I right?"
Hearing this.
Their tone was mocking.
"Officer, don’t put it so harshly. We made this choice considering our later years."
"Yes, since our daughter is missing, we must think of our retirement. If Shen offers help, we gladly accept."
But hearing their explanation.
Luo Fei’s expression became grave.
"By doing this, you’re aiding and abetting."
"If Shen Liufeng indeed committed murder and you keep silent, your later years might be spent in prison. Understand?"
Luo Fei spoke candidly.
Their response was stern.
"Officer, we admit oversight, but don’t blame us solely."
"Yes, we’re also victims. Shen misled us with gifts, keeping us in the dark. Besides, our daughter was stubborn; we advised against her relationship with Shen."
"Enough, stop."
Before they could continue.
Luo Fei interrupted sternly.
"I understand how you feel, but you should be introspective instead of shifting blame."
"Face your mistakes; after all, you’re not minors, are you?"
