Chapter 1130 - 559: Reluctant to Speak? Hesitant Looks
He just seemed hesitant to speak.
Luo Fei couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Did you two break up under unclear circumstances?"
"Not really, I actually asked him directly. But he refused to say anything. He only told me that we were both mistaken. Ye Shanshan and Boss Shen did not have an inappropriate relationship."
As Chen Wen spoke, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
At this moment.
Luo Fei finally understood.
No wonder Chen Wen seemed hesitant to speak.
Without a doubt.
She felt she did something wrong. Felt guilty.
But she couldn’t admit it directly.
"So at the time, because of your pride and in the heat of the moment, you didn’t pursue it further?"
Luo Fei asked this.
Leaving Chen Wen at a loss for words.
"That’s right. At the time, I also told him that no matter what happened, cheating was wrong. And Ye Shanshan indeed acted recklessly on the bus, speaking rudely to the elderly stranger."
When Chen Wen spoke about this, she felt a bit uncertain herself.
Ji Bing, standing next to her, couldn’t help but shake his head in amusement.
"Ms. Chen, so after all this time, you knew you might have wronged a good person. But because you felt she took your boyfriend away, you still chose to continue smearing Ye Shanshan, even forcing her to the point where she had no choice but to commit suicide, am I right?"
Ji Bing was truly speechless.
Clearly unable to understand Chen Wen’s actions.
Chen Wen just hung her head and said nothing.
"Mom? Why is the policeman in our home?"
Almost at the same time.
A childish voice came from behind Luo Fei and Ji Bing.
Turning around at the voice, a young girl about seven or eight years old was there with a schoolbag.
Accompanied by a stranger who seemed to be her father.
Upon seeing this.
Luo Fei nodded at Chen Wen in acknowledgment.
"Ms. Chen, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be on our way."
"Mm."
Chen Wen replied ambiguously.
Luo Fei didn’t greet them further, but left with Ji Bing.
"Mr. Luo, it seems your previous assumption was correct. There’s definitely more than meets the eye here. Chen Wen’s boyfriend may not have cheated after all. Instead, he might’ve found out his girlfriend would stop at nothing, even wronging good people for news exposure. That’s why he completely lost interest in her. Utter disappointment."
"Most likely. But Chen Wen doesn’t realize it, or even if she does, deep down she refuses to admit it."
Said Luo Fei as he got in the car with Ji Bing.
Almost simultaneously.
There came news from the police station.
"Mr. Luo, we’ve basically identified the target responsible for Tao Aiyuan’s death. If our deduction is correct, it’s her upstairs neighbor Song Chenghua."
The news from the police station officer.
Surprised Luo Fei a bit.
"Oh, really? What is this judgment based on?"
"Mr. Luo, this matter might be a bit complicated to explain. However, we’ve detected some clues based on the broken cutting board at the scene, and the small hole in the ceiling of Tao Aiyuan’s room."
"Also, just now, we found out. Although Tao Aiyuan did have relations with that water deliverer Old Zhang that night, they used protection. We even found the condom. What we’re waiting for now is the DNA test results for comparison."
Upon hearing this news.
Luo Fei was somewhat pleased.
But on the surface, he remained calm and composed.
"Everyone, you have truly worked hard. However, being able to hear this good news now holds significant value to me."
"Mr. Luo, you flatter us. Our successful investigation is closely related to your careful guidance and encouragement. We owe much to the insights you provided; otherwise, this case might not have been solved so smoothly."
As the call ended.
Luo Fei and Ji Bing arrived at the foot of a residential building.
Because Ji Bing had already called them earlier.
Xiao Minghao and his sister, Xiao Qiuzi, were already waiting downstairs.
"Hello, Officer, I’m Xiao Minghao. This is my sister, Xiao Qiuzi."
"Hello, Officer. Are you here to arrest us?"
Seeing his sister somewhat idly extend her wrist, appearing listless.
Xiao Minghao glared at her.
"Sister, behave yourself, don’t look so despondent, like you have no bones!"
Seeing Xiao Minghao looking seriously at her.
His sister helplessly pouted.
"Bro, am I not stating the truth? We both were involved in the incident back then. If the officer wants to arrest us for that, it wouldn’t be out of the question, would it?"
His sister pouted.
Luo Fei curiously asked.
"Mr. Xiao, why did you choose to date Ye Shanshan back then?"
"And what exactly was the true reason for her suicide, was it directly related to Boss Shen? If you know anything, please feel free to tell me."
After a while.
As the group went upstairs together.
Xiao Minghao also took out a stack of photos taken with Ye Shanshan during their travels.
"Officer, to be honest, I’ve always had regrets about the Ye Shanshan incident over the years. I even thought about exposing the truth. But my sister wouldn’t let me."
As Xiao Minghao mentioned this, his sister glanced at Luo Fei and earnestly said.
"Officer, I’m not intentionally stopping my brother, I just don’t want him to do something foolish. After all, it’s been so long. Everyone thinks Ye Shanshan committed suicide out of shame over her relationship with Boss Shen. If we reveal the truth now, people will most likely believe we are just trying to stir up the past."
