The old man spoke with great certainty.

This inevitably piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.

"Sir, why are you so sure? Do you perhaps have some key evidence?"

He noticed that the other person seemed somewhat puzzled.

Li Wanzhi shook her head.

"Mr. Luo, no one understands a child better than their mother. I know my daughter very well."

"Including the messages she sent me later; although she imitated her style, some expressions and manner of speaking were completely different. Let alone, because of Shen Liufeng, we hadn’t spoken for several years."

He discerned the intention of the other party.

The tone was a bit gloomy, seemingly somewhat dejected.

Luo Fei promptly nodded and said.

"Ms. Li, I understand your point."

"However, all of this is just your speculation. Since we’re investigating a case, we need to get to the bottom of it. It’s not possible to give up easily."

Luo Fei’s meaning was already clear.

He’s determined to find the person alive or dead.

It’s just because the elderly woman is advanced in age.

He didn’t want to be too direct.

Otherwise, if the other side couldn’t handle it.

If she suddenly collapsed, it could very likely affect Luo Fei’s subsequent investigation of the case.

At this time, after listening to Luo Fei’s analysis.

The old lady was suddenly extremely grateful.

She felt a surge of emotion.

"Mr. Luo, being able to hear those words from you really makes me happy. I am genuinely grateful for your willingness to do so much for my daughter."

"However, as for her, even if someone harmed her, it was likely because she walked into it willingly—as she was so focused on Shen Liufeng. Therefore... I don’t want to trouble the police."

Yet seeing Li Wanzhi hesitating.

At this point, she was about to speak but stopped.

Luo Fei, however, spoke sternly.

"Sir, I must talk to you about this."

"Regardless of whether your daughter is alive or not, our police are duty-bound to handle matters faithfully. Besides, what if she’s not dead?"

As Luo Fei spoke, his tone was dead serious.

Which really surprised the old lady.

"Mr. Luo, come to think of it, I must thank you. Because if it weren’t for you, I might have completely lost hope in my daughter."

The old man said this, her tone filled with gratitude.

Luo Fei listened, but just responded with a faint smile.

"That’s alright. But, Ms. Li, we may need you to submit all relevant clues about your daughter—including whether she contacted you before disappearing, and items that might provide clues to the police—to our police so that we can continue further in-depth investigation."

Although Luo Fei’s tone was calm and indifferent.

The old lady felt tremendously reproachful.

"Mr. Luo, the police have already investigated before. They asked me for evidence as well, but honestly, I don’t have anything valuable to provide you now."

Originally, when Li Wanzhi’s daughter first moved out, she burned all the items left behind at home that her daughter hadn’t taken.

"But she told me that she had bought a studio apartment later. To ensure she had somewhere to go in case of a fight with Shen Liufeng. And she gave me a spare key."

According to what the old lady said.

Since her daughter’s disappearance, she never returned.

Moreover, before Wu Meilian’s disappearance.

She instructed the maid to clean the room and make sure it was cleaned once a month.

This left the old lady somewhat perplexed.

"Officer, tell me, under normal circumstances, if she doesn’t plan to come back, why would she ask someone to clean the room? Isn’t this quite odd?"

But upon hearing the news.

Luo Fei chuckled coldly.

"Ji Bing, didn’t I say before that when all possibilities are ruled out, the last one remaining, which seems most impossible, is certainly the truth?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.

Ji Bing had an epiphany.

"Mr. Luo, do you mean that Wu Meilian might actually still be alive?"

"This possibility cannot be excluded."

But after hearing Luo Fei’s analysis.

The old lady was shocked.

"No, officer, isn’t this a little unlikely?"

"How could she still be alive if she never shows up?"

Luo Fei listened and asserted confidently.

"Ms. Li, my estimate is that she may have some unspeakable reasons, thus can’t appear.

In fact, having the maid clean seems like maintaining the apartment’s cleanliness. But it’s actually to cover the traces of her having returned home. To prevent being discovered."

With Luo Fei’s analysis.

The old lady felt even more confused.

"No, this troublesome girl, if she’s alive, why doesn’t she come and see me? Does she enjoy making me, an old lady, worry?"

"She has no idea how much I’ve worried over these years! This troublesome girl!"

Li Wanzhi was pounding her chest, coughing violently.

Luo Fei quickly explained.

"Ms. Li, I estimate she was threatened by someone, or perhaps encountered some trouble, thus can’t appear."

Luo Fei’s analysis left Ms. Li enlightened.

"Is it really so?"

"I guess that’s largely correct, but since this matter is of great importance, and if you knew what happened, you might also be in danger; therefore, your daughter chose to keep quiet and hasn’t told anyone about it."

"She’s also afraid that should she implicate you, it would be very troublesome."
