Chapter 1181 - 584: Nothing Left? Noncommittal (Part 2)

And upon seeing the image,

it was a small and shabby gravestone.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"Ms. Wu, your guess is probably correct."

Luo Fei had a deep understanding of criminal psychology.

Generally, if someone respects and values another person highly,

at the very least, the gravestone should be of an average level.

Not to mention someone with Shen Liufeng’s wealth.

If he truly cared about his wife, was concerned about her,

then he shouldn’t have deliberately made the gravestone so small,

even giving off a feeling that he wished it could go unnoticed and ignored.

After listening to Luo Fei’s analysis,

Wu Meilian was greatly surprised.

"Mr. Luo, does that mean my previous guess was right?"

"Yes, Ms. Wu, I must say, you indeed have foresight. That’s remarkable."

Hearing words of admiration from the other party,

Wu Meilian chuckled awkwardly.

"Mr. Luo, you really overpraise me. I just made a judgment based on what I saw."

However, in comparison, Wu Meilian was more curious

about how Luo Fei was going to investigate the case.

"Mr. Luo, after all, this person has been gone for many years. If there’s a need to exhumate the body, that might be very difficult, and I’m afraid the relatives won’t agree."

But upon hearing Wu Meilian’s concern,

Luo Fei merely smiled.

"Ms. Wu, you don’t have to worry about that."

"I have my own ways to resolve this issue."

After hanging up the phone,

Luo Fei immediately scheduled a meeting with Shen Yueling.

"Miss Shen, although some things can be discussed over the phone,

I still prefer to talk face-to-face. It’s very crucial and closely related to the upcoming police investigation."

Luo Fei spoke with a gentle tone.

Shen Yueling also took a deep breath.

"I understand, Mr. Luo, see you soon."

Once the call ended,

before long,

Luo Fei and his team met with Shen Yueling in a café.

"Mr. Luo, go ahead. No matter the result of your investigation this time, I’m prepared to accept it."

Shen Yueling’s tone was soft,

her face showing a hint of unease,

and observing the sweat on her forehead,

Luo Fei smiled too.

"Miss Shen, it’s actually no big deal."

"I just wanted to ask if I could investigate at your mother’s gravesite. Additionally, considering the progress in the case, I might have to open the grave for examination. But I worry that Miss Shen might blame me."

What Luo Fei said,

made the other party ponder for a moment,

before speaking cautiously.

"Mr. Luo, do you intend to exhume the body?"

"How did Miss Shen guess?"

At that moment,

Luo Fei couldn’t help being a bit surprised,

while Shen Yueling felt embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest,

when attending my mother’s funeral, I felt something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly..."

Shen Yueling spoke, her eyes evasive,

her dark eyes dimming.

Luo Fei, however, spoke seriously.

"Miss Shen, if you truly wish to solve this case, it’s best to tell me everything you know. It’s very important and crucial."

"Mr. Luo, although I watched my mother being buried back then, at the time of burial, the urn was placed in a coffin filled with roses. I was puzzled at the time, considering a custom-made double-layer urn was already prepared; why go through such trouble?"

Shen Yueling spoke with an awkward chuckle,

feeling a bit embarrassed,

but Luo Fei stated confidently.

"Miss Shen, sometimes things may just be as your intuition suggests. It’s just that your subconscious or certain notions made you try to block these thoughts. You continuously tried to convince yourself that you might’ve been wrong. But is that truly the case? I think it’s something to question."

Luo Fei’s words shook Shen Yueling.

"Mr. Luo, are you suggesting the coffin was actually empty at that time?"

"Not necessarily, it might have contained a body, but your father might’ve deliberately replaced roses in the coffin to cover it up."

This news made Shen Yueling’s heart race, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

"Mr. Luo, are you serious? Is what you’re saying true?"

At this moment,

Shen Yueling was truly stunned,

and her heart couldn’t find peace.

But Luo Fei replied earnestly.

"Miss Shen, not everything is as simple as we think."

"It’s possible that my guess is inaccurate. However, we still need to thoroughly investigate to know for sure."

Shen Yueling took a deep breath and said,

"I understand, Mr. Luo. You hope I can help delay time and not tell my father about this, providing you more time for investigation?"

"Miss Shen is indeed smart. But even if you’re unwilling to cooperate, I would understand. After all, if you do this, there may be no turning back. Your relationship with your father could be affected, and perhaps the bond between you two might not be repairable for the rest of your life."

Luo Fei said, hesitating slightly with his words.

But Shen Yueling coldly laughed and shook her head.

"Mr. Luo, I understand your intentions. But since I have decided to do this, it means I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation. I hope to discover the truth."

Shen Yueling had such intentions, and it wasn’t just recently.

Ever since the incident with Sun Yida,

she had been completely disappointed in her father.

She was merely trying to convince herself,

repeatedly telling herself that her father wasn’t that bad.

It had long deprived her of good sleep.

However, as time passed,

she came to understand her father better,

changing her mindset to some extent.

Thus, she spoke earnestly now.

"Mr. Luo, rest assured, I will handle this matter."

"If there’s nothing in the grave, I’ll act as though nothing happened, and I’ll keep this confidential. But if there truly is an issue, I will resolutely choose to stand by the side of the law."

Shen Yueling spoke with a solemn tone,

bringing a slight sense of relief to Luo Fei.

"Miss Shen, if there’s a day when your father repents, realizing his mistakes, I believe he will understand your good intentions and appreciate your motives."

Luo Fei’s tone was calm.

Shen Yueling, however, smiled and shook her head.

"Mr. Luo, you flatter me."

"The reason I do these things is to live up to my conscience, not to live in guilt indefinitely, let alone deceive my daughter about who her father and grandfather are when she grows up. I can’t lie to her forever."

Shen Yueling spoke, unable to suppress a wry smile.

It was evident she meticulously weighed the pros and cons before speaking these words.

Almost simultaneously, she called the duty office at the cemetery,

explaining the situation to them.

However, after learning of her decision,

the cemetery staff hesitated a bit,

even nervously asking,

"Miss Shen, are you sure you want to do this? If you proceed, there’s no going back."

Knowing that Miss Shen always visited the grave,

and was always polite to the staff, often bringing them fruits and snacks,

the cemetery staff didn’t expect her to make such a decision.

Yet Shen Yueling confidently replied,

"Mr. Chen, thank you for checking in on my thoughts and feelings."

"However, since I’ve decided to cooperate with the police, I can’t backtrack. Otherwise, getting detained for obstruction would be an outcome you wouldn’t want to see, right?"
