Chapter 1137 - 562: Words Left Unspoken? A Clear Conscience_2
Originally, actually for some time now.
In Nanying Village, people have frequently reported cases of missing women.
Especially young girls.
Some people face accidents when walking home at night or riding through.
It’s just that the police haven’t investigated the situation here.
It’s likely because Wang Erdan’s family raises pigs and they also handle weddings and funerals. So, they often burn paper money and such.
Not to mention, whenever someone came to inquire, Sister Su was always cooperative and never concealed anything.
So the police didn’t think much of it.
Thinking back now, they probably did that to cover up the smell of corpses.
"Officer, thank you so much. If it weren’t for you, I might not even be alive."
Almost simultaneously.
The girl, trembling, walked over to Luo Fei with the help of others.
She bowed deeply to him, almost kneeling.
Luo Fei quickly comforted her.
"Miss, don’t be agitated. I know you’ve been wronged. It must have been very difficult for you. We’re just doing our duty as the police."
"No, officer. If it wasn’t for you insisting to check the backyard and questioning him, I might have died without anyone noticing."
She had witnessed Wang Erdan killing someone, and his methods were extremely brutal.
So she almost gave up hope and even despaired of seeking help.
After all, before her, several girls had been caught by Wang Erdan and brought to the basement.
But later, they didn’t survive.
So she had no choice but to comply with his inhumane demands.
But even so, she was often beaten in recent times.
If it hadn’t been for Luo Fei discovering her this time.
It’s likely Wang Erdan would soon have gotten completely bored with her.
Eventually, he might have done something extremely drastic.
"Miss, you’ve suffered. We will contact your family soon to assure them of your safety."
Luo Fei said as he watched the girl go upstairs.
But even so.
He still noticed that Sister Su looked a bit dazed.
Her face was filled with a complicated expression.
"Officer, my son did nothing wrong. It was me who should never have agreed to hide for him. Why don’t you arrest me instead? Let me serve the sentence on his behalf."
No matter how Sister Su pleaded, Luo Fei seemed not to hear.
He didn’t pay much attention.
After a while.
As Luo Fei and Ji Bing returned to Tang Lei’s place.
Tang Lei’s mother had already woken up.
When she saw Luo Fei.
She hurriedly expressed her gratitude.
"Mr. Luo, thank you so much. If it hadn’t been for your help last time, my son and I might never have reunited."
Tang Lei’s mother was all smiles, not at all like someone who recently had a head injury.
Luo Fei also quickly reminded her.
"Auntie, since you’re unwell, it’s better not to move around too much. Otherwise, if something happens to you, wouldn’t Tang Lei blame me?"
Although Luo Fei jested with a smile.
Tang Lei explained with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Luo, my mom was just telling me. When she was staying at someone’s house, she heard noises in the backyard. She tried to listen when going to the toilet and was discovered by Wang Erdan."
"That’s why they had a conflict, but neither of them pierced through the situation, so it didn’t escalate."
Tang Lei explained somewhat awkwardly.
Obviously feeling a bit guilty.
Lv Weimin said.
"Tang Lei, regardless of anything, I also bear some responsibility for this matter."
"I hope you won’t mind."
As Lv Weimin spoke gravely.
Tang Lei was noncommittal.
"Mr. Luo, actually, my mom and I have discussed before. We should find a good opportunity to personally thank you for helping our family. So after a few days when my mother is well-rested, we plan to open a hotpot restaurant in Changli City."
"At that time, we will have to invite you to support us, Mr. Luo."
Luo Fei was pleased to agree.
"No problem. But currently, we do have other cases to handle, so if possible, Ji Bing and I must excuse ourselves first."
Seeing Luo Fei and Ji Bing about to leave.
Tang Lei seemed a bit disappointed.
"Mr. Luo is leaving already? My mom was just saying that I should invite you for some supper before you go."
"Not this time. Things are quite busy lately. Not to mention, the previous case investigation is also complicated. Let’s do it another day."
With these words, Luo Fei and Ji Bing had already left the hospital.
But noticing Luo Fei’s expressionless face.
Ji Bing pouted.
"Mr. Luo, you’ve been busy all day, aren’t you even a bit hungry? You seem completely oblivious to food."
Ji Bing’s reminder brought Luo Fei to his senses.
"True. But having just turned down an offer, now saying I want supper might not be well-received?"
Luo Fei was somewhat resigned.
Ji Bing also pouted.
Ring ring!
Just then.
Luo Fei’s phone rang.
Looking down.
The call was from Shen Yueling.
"Mr. Luo, I heard you haven’t had dinner yet. Why don’t we meet in Changli City later? My treat."
After hearing Shen Yueling say this with a touch of anticipation.
Luo Fei smiled and agreed.
"Miss Shen, then I’ll leave it to you."
"It’s nothing, just a small matter."
As the call ended.
Luo Fei said.
"Well, dinner is sorted now."
Although Luo Fei graciously accepted the kindness.
At that moment, Ji Bing hesitated.
"Mr. Luo, even though Miss Shen means well, didn’t we agree too quickly?"
Seeing Ji Bing hesitate, obviously having reservations.
Luo Fei just chuckled.
"Ji Bing, I understand. You’re worried that Miss Shen approaching us might attract Shen Liufeng’s attention. But no worries, he won’t mind, as long as he’s upright."
Almost simultaneously, Luo Fei had dialed Shen Liufeng’s number.
As the call connected.
Shen Liufeng’s voice resonated from the other end.
"Mr. Luo, do you need something from me?"
"Yes, Mr. Shen, long time no see. But it’s not a big deal; it’s regarding Ye Shanshan’s cause of death."
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s words.
The other party was taken aback.
Then awkwardly agreed.
"Oh, it’s about that."
"Yes, Mr. Shen, we are currently investigating Ye Shanshan’s case. We know she died by suicide. However, it seems there are some hidden truths. So, if possible, we’d like to know more from you."
Understanding Luo Fei’s intent, Shen Liufeng began to evade.
"Mr. Luo, speaking of it, Ye Shanshan was indeed a good girl. It’s really a pity she encountered such a situation."
Recognizing Shen Liufeng’s intentions, there’s a sense of loss in the tone.
Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Shen, I heard that before Ye Shanshan left you, she took over two million from you. She didn’t say what it was for, yet you lent it just like that?"
"Mr. Luo, I know what you’re trying to ask. You think that normally, between a man and a woman without improper relations, such mutual trust wouldn’t happen. But Xiaoye was different."
Shen Liufeng spoke confidently, which further piqued Luo Fei’s interest.
"Really, Mr. Shen, I’m genuinely curious, how exactly was she different?"
Luo Fei said this, his tone was somewhat amused.
Shen Liufeng patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve known Xiaoye for five or six years. Since she was an intern, I’ve kept an eye on her. I felt she was different, possessing a quality others lack. That’s why I got close to her."
"Later, although I didn’t know she had a terminal illness. But all these years, she never took time off, consistently working overtime for five or six years."
