Chapter 1191 - 589: A Loving Mother and a Filial Son? Untying the Knot (Part 2)

But she really didn’t expect it.

Her husband would actually be murdered by the other party.

This took the older woman by surprise.

Deep down, it stirred a strong sense of dissatisfaction.

At this moment, upon hearing the other’s analysis.

Luo Fei spoke seriously.

"Older sister, if we go by what you’ve said, you actually knew your husband likely had some undisclosed dealings with the other party. So in this scenario, even you are a suspect, aren’t you?"

"After all, you know that if this woman were to die, it could benefit you. Both you and your husband might find relief."

Luo Fei actually said this.

This unexpected remark stunned the older woman.

She was immediately taken aback.

Almost unable to believe her own ears.

"Mr. Luo, do you hear what you’re saying?"

If I were truly guilty, I would’ve confessed a long time ago.

"Instead of persisting to care for my irresponsible son alone, struggling to support him!"

Seeing the other’s alarm.

Luo Fei smiled.

"Older sister, don’t take it personally. I didn’t mean anything else."

"I’m merely posing a reasonable suspicion, which is what we’re supposed to do as the police, isn’t it?"

Luo Fei spoke, his tone calm and composed.

This left the older woman somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, I understand your point."

"But I really have nothing to do with this murder case. As for what bad things Zhao Dekai has done to meet such an end, I’m genuinely uncertain."

Seeing the older woman’s forehead beaded with sweat.

Her face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Luo Fei shook his head.

"Older sister, since that’s the case, I’ll have to temporarily assume you’re not intending to cooperate with the police."

"And I can see that you likely don’t wish to know your husband’s cause of death. After all, for you, this man isn’t a source of pleasant memories."

Luo Fei spoke, somewhat hesitant.

The older woman felt somewhat embarrassed, too.

"Officer, isn’t that obvious? My son only began to fancy someone my age because my husband isn’t here. He’s a young man in his early twenties, yet he’s fallen in love with a woman in her fifties."

"It’s truly troubling for me. And all this, undoubtedly, is the fault of that despicable man. If he hadn’t left so early, unable to remain by his son’s side as support, my son probably wouldn’t have turned out this way."

But hearing the older woman’s analysis.

Luo Fei shook his head with a smile.

"Older sister, sometimes we genuinely don’t need to look for reasons in others."

"The truth is, we might need to consider whether we’ve done anything wrong ourselves or if there’s something wrong with us."

Luo Fei’s words.

Caused the older woman to tremble all over.

"Officer, what do you mean by this?"

"Older sister, what I’m getting at isn’t it obvious? While your son might be unruly, this might not necessarily relate to his absent father. Sometimes, it might be due to the overbearing mother making him feel suffocated. Isn’t that right?"

Luo Fei’s words left the older woman speechless.

Seeing Luo Fei about to leave.

She felt a bit reluctant.

"Officer, hold on, why are you leaving?"

Seeing that the other was somewhat tongue-tied.

Luo Fei replied.

"Well, do I need to explain? I’m not in charge of civil disputes, so I should leave when it’s time to leave."

"But officer, can’t you stay a little longer?"

Seeing the other seemed a bit wistful.

Apparently hoping he would stay.

Luo Fei said, "Older sister, only the person who tied the knot can untie it. The issue between you and your son can’t be resolved merely by outsiders saying more."

"However, if you’re willing to provide me some clues, I might be able to find someone to help mediate."

Hearing Luo Fei’s terms.

The older woman was somewhat astonished.

"Mr. Luo, are you serious? Would you really be willing to offer me help?"

"Of course, but how exactly will depend on your performance, older sister."

Luo Fei spoke to this extent. The older woman couldn’t help but understand his meaning.

So the older woman took a deep breath.

Patiently explained.

"Officer, to be honest."

"I’ve always known my husband was threatened by Mr. Shen. He actually wanted to leave the company long ago but never had the chance."

Upon hearing her words.

Luo Fei thought he might have misheard.

"Older sister, are you serious?"

"Certainly. Even though my husband Zhao Dekai was close to Shen Liufeng."

"In fact, I’ve seen him frequently sit alone in the living room in a daze. He’d decided to hand in his resignation letter, but ended up staying. Such scenes are hard not to suspect if he was threatened, hence the sensitivity."

Though the older woman said this.

Luo Fei lacked solid evidence.

So he had to temporarily let it go.

"Older sister, the clues you’ve provided are invaluable."

"It further suggests Zhao Dekai had concerns he couldn’t disclose. Due to special reasons, it wasn’t suitable for public confession."

"And as the police, there’s really a limit to what we can do."

Luo Fei spoke, his tone was wistful.

This put the older woman in an even more awkward position.

Despite wanting Luo Fei to stay.

She couldn’t.

So she had to let it go for now.

As they were leaving the older woman’s residence.

Su Jianfan felt somewhat dejected.

"Mr. Luo, judging from what we’ve seen earlier."

"This older woman seems completely unaware."

Though Su Jianfan felt dispirited.

Lin Zimo nearby seriously remarked.

"Mr. Luo, I feel this older woman might not be as innocent as she seems. She might just be concealing the truth on purpose. She’s worried about her son and fears if she passes away, he’ll be left uncared for."

Lin Zimo’s analysis.

Earned Luo Fei’s admiration.

"Miss Lin, you’re right. It indeed proves your extraordinary intelligence, far above the average person."

Seeing the other party’s admiring thumbs-up.

Lin Zimo felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Mr. Luo, you flatter me. I merely made some judgments based on your experience in handling cases before. That’s all."

Lin Zimo spoke, couldn’t help but blush.

Her unease apparent.

Somewhat embarrassed at this point.

Luo Fei grinned.

"Miss Lin is quite right, and there’s no need to feel embarrassed."

"This woman hasn’t unlocked her emotional issues yet, so we still need to start with her son."

As Luo Fei spoke.

Their car completed a circuit around the neighborhood.

Returning to the older woman’s doorstep.

When her son and his girlfriend emerged from the house.

They didn’t expect to see the police at the door, thus both seemed a bit nervous.

"Officer, why have you returned? Are you trying to arrest me on my mother’s behalf?"

"Definitely not."

Seeing the young man uneasy.

Extremely tense.

Luo Fei promptly explained.

"Young man, I’m aware you have your own thoughts. Whom you like and choose to be with, it’s entirely your freedom, and no one can interfere."

Luo Fei’s understanding words put him at ease.

"Mr. Luo, with your assurance, I can truly be at ease."

"But officer, what’s the purpose of coming to us? It’s making me quite curious."

Seeing the other somewhat eager.

With a tone filled with anticipation.

Luo Fei patiently explained.

"Young man, we’re actually here to ask if you’re aware of your father’s cause of death. Do you know who might have killed him?"
