Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

"Miss Zhao, there’s actually a question I’ve been wanting to ask you, but I’m not sure if you’re willing to answer truthfully?"

Luo Fei said this in a haunting tone.

Zhao Mengyao responded in a deep voice.

"Mr. Luo, go ahead. As long as it helps solve the case quickly, I’m willing to answer any questions."

Upon hearing this.

Luo Fei waved his hand.

"Miss Zhao, don’t misunderstand, I mean no other intentions."

"I just met Lv Weiming’s former adopted daughter. From her, I learned some information that will indeed help us greatly in our investigation."

Luo Fei suddenly said this, his tone somewhat hesitant.

Moreover, he deliberately spoke ambiguously.

Giving the impression that his attitude was unclear.

This caused Zhao Mengyao to hold her breath, fully focused.

"Oh? I wonder how that child is doing now. Has she managed to overcome the psychological shadows from before? What’s her situation now?"

Only hearing the intention behind the words.

The tone carried a few hints of tension.

She seemed afraid of being suspected.

Luo Fei had already almost confirmed it.

Zhao Mengyao definitely had problems.

But he remained calm on the surface.

"Miss Zhao, it’s said the girl is really sensible. She also feels she was a burden to you, became a nuisance, so she doesn’t blame you at all. She even asked me to apologize on her behalf."

"Really? Didn’t expect the child to be so grateful and not blame us?"

At this moment.

Zhao Mengyao was genuinely surprised.

The unexpectedness was evident on her face.

Moreover, in her heart, there was a sense of guilt mixed with some unease.

Luo Fei responded with a smile.

"Yes, Miss Zhao, I truly didn’t expect this either."

"The child is very sensible. It’s quite precious indeed. However, because she is too well-behaved, she only mentioned you and your husband being good people, we can’t easily make conclusions."

Luo Fei said.

Prompting Zhao Mengyao to take a deep breath.

"I understand, Mr. Luo. Then I will wait a bit longer. I await your good news. As for arresting people, it’s completely up to you. I really beg you. After all, Lv Weiming could do such excessive things before. If he finds out later I was the reason he was imprisoned, he might be very angry."

"If he gets out, who knows what terrifying things he might do?"

Zhao Mengyao wasn’t even aware.

As she spoke these words.

Luo Fei was already almost certain.

She was the perpetrator behind it all.

Without a doubt.

The reason was simple.

Because Zhao Mengyao’s behavior clearly showed she was guilty.

Even due to nervousness, impulsively, she falsely accused Lv Weiming.

"Miss Zhao, actually you and Mr. Lv adopted this child together. You should know best what kind of person he is."

"He can even forego having biological children for you, to adopt other kids. But what do you do? You even falsely accuse him?"

Luo Fei spoke with some shock.

This left Zhao Mengyao stunned.

She quickly explained.

"No, Mr. Luo, I didn’t! I was speaking the truth."

"Miss Zhao, at this point, are you still lying?"

At this moment.

As Luo Fei played the recording of his chat with the adoptive parents.

Including the nanny’s statement earlier.

Zhao Mengyao was left stunned.

She suddenly realized.

Luo Fei had said those words deliberately to test her.

If she hadn’t said anything, it might’ve been okay.

But she couldn’t hold back.

Even intentionally pointed the finger at Lv Weiming.

This caused her to reveal her true self instantly.

Which made Luo Fei frown.

"Miss Zhao, do you have anything else to say? Should you confess and accept punishment?"

Luo Fei said this with a chilling tone.

Zhao Mengyao continued to mumble to herself.

"It’s not like that, officer, some things aren’t as you think. It’s really not..."

"Zhao Mengyao, stop pretending. I’ve already learned the truth. You were the one who intentionally let the child get lost, including deliberately framing Lv Weiming for losing his job."

"You treated Lv Weiming as a tool all along, including being involved in the fire at the sanatorium, but you refuse to admit it, right?"

At this moment.

With Luo Fei speaking up.

Zhao Mengyao was almost instantly stunned.

"No, officer, I didn’t! I really didn’t know about the murder."

"I never wanted to harm anyone. I just wanted to scare Lv Weiming into backing away. At most, it was an accident, I swear I did not lie."

Despite her saying this.

Luo Fei noticed some inconsistencies.

After all, Zhao Mengyao didn’t deny, which implies involvement in the matter.

So he spoke hauntingly.

"Miss Zhao, are you confessing or should I send the police to arrest you?"

Hearing Luo Fei’s question.

Zhao Mengyao remained bewildered.

"Officer, this isn’t fair. I did this because my father did many bad things. I even told Lv Weiming that if he cooperated, I’d ensure his safety and take him abroad to be together forever."

"But he broke his promise first!"

But hearing those words.

Luo Fei responded hauntingly.

"Zhao Mengyao, let’s not discuss anything else."

"Lv Weiming followed your word in everything. Even for murder, he could do it for you."

"But you? When it mattered, you kicked him aside. Even being childless due to jealousy of the adopted daughter, and after being exposed, let Lv Weiming take the fall for you?"

In Luo Fei’s view, although Lv Weiming’s actions were unacceptable.

Avenging for love, even in extreme ways.

But compared to his loyalty until the end.

Zhao Mengyao was utterly selfish and self-centered.

Looking only out for herself.

So Luo Fei decided not to handle the case’s aftermath personally.

He immediately instructed his subordinates.

And explained his thoughts.

Hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.

Su Jianfan hesitated a little.

"Mr. Luo, although I know you’re bringing a bit of personal emotion here, trying not to let it interfere with your judgment."

"However, the investigation into this case seems unfinished."

Su Jianfan spoke hesitantly.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Su Jianfan, you’re right."

"But I don’t plan on conducting further interviews with Zhao Mengyao myself."

"Given Zhao Mengyao’s personality, she’ll likely evade and deflect, which isn’t what I want. I don’t wish to waste unnecessary time on her."

This analysis.

Finally relieved Su Jianfan.

But also.

He noticed.

Luo Fei’s expression was somewhat serious.

However, Su Jianfan understood.

It was reasonable.

Since the case was still unresolved.

Luo Fei couldn’t afford complacency.

For instance, the case of Shen’s mistress.

Which remains unsolved.

They can’t just leave it.

"Ring ring!"

At this moment.

Luo Fei’s phone suddenly rang.

Upon answering, he heard Cai Junfeng’s somewhat troubled voice.

"Mr. Luo, I don’t mean to dampen spirits."

"But we just went to that woman’s residence. From the clues we currently have. She’s most likely no longer alive, either murdered. So..."

Recognizing his hesitation.

Fear of blame.

Luo Fei remained unaffected.

"It’s okay, you’ve done your best. Plus, this outcome was somewhat expected."
