Chapter 1255 - 621: Rigorous Enough? A Barren Land (2)
This kind of message made Sister Yang’s mouth twitch, and her face became somewhat troubled.
"Mr. Luo, if that’s the case, what are we waiting for? We should call the police right away, shouldn’t we?"
Sister said, her eyes widening.
Her face even showed a hint of confusion.
But Luo Fei shook his head and said.
"It’s useless, we only see the message without knowing the sender’s location."
"More importantly, if we act rashly and alert the enemy, we ourselves might fall into danger."
Luo Fei’s words made Sister Yang silent for a moment.
"Mr. Luo, if what you’re saying is true, doesn’t that mean it won’t be long before I receive such a message too?"
Sister spoke, pausing for a moment.
Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.
"Sister, you’re right; it’s possible. But if I were you, I’d pretend to be unaware."
Luo Fei spoke, his tone haunting.
This made Sister Yang sigh slightly in relief.
"Mr. Luo, come to think of it, before my husband went missing, he also said some things to me."
"At that time, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn’t put it into words. I didn’t expect him to just disappear."
Sister Yang said, showing Luo Fei the chat records between her and her husband.
And after seeing the content of their conversation.
Luo Fei nodded and said.
"Sister, your intuition was correct."
"Looking at it from the present perspective, it seems he was explaining his affairs to you, expressing his thoughts and the things he wanted you to do."
Luo Fei spoke, his tone somber.
This made Sister Yang feel even more regretful and her nose tingle.
"It’s all my fault. If I had realized something was wrong sooner, I might not have discovered the problem only now."
But seeing Sister Yang full of remorse.
Luo Fei quickly comforted her.
"Sister, I understand how you feel."
"But I still hope you can relax. After all, what’s done is done, and what we need to do is solve the problem. Otherwise, no amount of regret will help."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Luo is right. We should indeed focus more on solving the problem."
Just as Luo Fei and Sister Yang were speaking.
Captain Zhou from the police station quickly walked over.
"Mr. Luo, just now, the school leadership called voluntarily, wanting to meet and talk with you. I wonder if you’re interested?"
But upon hearing this.
Luo Fei smiled and asked back.
"What does he mean?"
"Probably because he knows you’re from the major crimes unit and investigating this incident. So he wants to talk to you privately, maybe trying to settle it informally. Also, they’ve just arrived in the police station’s meeting room."
Luo Fei nodded after hearing this.
"Alright, since they’ve come, it’s necessary for us to meet them."
Luo Fei said, very calmly and composed.
Moments later, as he arrived at the meeting room.
The school leadership was already waiting there early.
They greeted him with some excitement.
"Hello, Mr. Luo. We’ve heard so much about you. It’s great to finally meet you in person."
The school leader’s words made Luo Fei feel quite gratified.
"Leader, no need to be courteous with me. After all, you’re the school leader but not my leader."
"So say what you have to say. I have to continue the investigation soon, so time is tight."
Luo Fei’s tone clearly urged them on, also reminding them.
He’s genuinely busy with something.
This made the principal’s expression almost freeze instantly.
He had to patiently explain.
"Mr. Luo, actually, I wanted to apologize to you for the previous food safety issue. We didn’t expect such a small matter to cause such a big trouble, and we’re really sorry..."
But seeing the principal a bit embarrassed.
He hesitated a bit at this point.
Luo Fei curiously asked.
"Principal, how come I don’t quite understand what you just said? Do you mean to say that, in your opinion, the food safety issue is actually a trivial, even insignificant matter?"
Luo Fei’s question made the principal shake his head repeatedly.
"No, no, not at all, Mr. Luo."
"I just mean that the matter was originally an internal issue of our school, but now it’s blown up like this. It’s known to everyone, and this has become a complete farce."
"Not only because an employee left, so now someone is deliberately spreading rumors. Our school’s reputation has also been affected. Fortunately, it’s summer vacation now, so we haven’t been severely affected yet. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The principal said, pausing slightly.
Luo Fei, however, responded with a smile.
"Principal, I understand. So you mean to say you find it hard and don’t deserve to encounter such events, hoping we would be lenient with you, right?"
"Yes, officer, because most of what they’ve said is untrue. A lot of it is deliberately fabricated by someone. It’s something that never happened."
The principal said, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
His face showed a hint of unease.
Hearing this, Luo Fei also sighed with some relief.
And nodded.
"Principal, I understand your point. But, if it’s genuinely just a matter of resignation, then why did those who reported certain situations within your school eventually disappear?"
Upon hearing this question, the principal hesitated.
"Not all of them. The situations of Han Cuiwen and Old Jiang are different. After resigning, Han Cuiwen took the train and left for another place. But there’s no news of Old Jiang until now. Maybe it’s because he felt he was the pillar of his family, but now, due to a belief, he lost his job. This made him feel uneasy and humiliated?"
The principal said, pausing slightly.
"Moreover, I heard before that he and his wife had conflicts. But, this is his family’s matter; I really don’t want to bring it up."
The vice-principal said, eyes darting.
Clearly somewhat hesitant to speak, not wanting to offend anyone.
But seeing him hesitate, afraid of offending others.
Luo Fei wasn’t moved.
"Vice-principal, if you know something, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush like squeezing toothpaste."
Seeing Luo Fei growing impatient, he couldn’t help but urge.
The vice-principal quickly apologized.
"Sorry, Mr. Luo, I didn’t mean it. I just heard that Old Jiang did not have a good relationship with his wife, so I’m somewhat conflicted."
"Moreover, Old Jiang and his wife didn’t just have conflicts once. But he’s a typical bully at home, only venting anger at those around him."
The vice-principal said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
His expression was also somewhat complex by this point.
Luo Fei, however, wasn’t much concerned.
Instead, after listening.
He calmly said.
"Principal, thank you for the information you’ve provided."
"Based on what you’ve said, I’ll consider it for the investigation."
Seeing Luo Fei say this and leave expressionlessly.
The principal couldn’t help but be surprised.
"So, officer, that’s it just after saying that?"
"Otherwise, do you hope I arrest someone immediately?"
Luo Fei’s tone was haunting.
The principal took a deep breath.
"Yes, officer, you’re right. Without sufficient evidence, you can’t make hasty conclusions."
"We’re just providing you with another idea for solving the case, no other intention."
The principal’s words made Luo Fei exhale slightly.
"Principal, if that’s the case, please feel free to leave."
Luo Fei said, his tone haunting.
This finally allowed the principal to breathe a little easier.
