Chapter 1217 - 602: Unbelievable? Faking Disappearance (Part 2)
Buzz——
At this moment.
Luo Fei's phone buzzed.
He glanced down at his phone.
Luo Fei's expression turned a bit solemn.
"Mr. Qiu, although I don't want to say this, I do have to step out for a bit now."
"We will definitely keep a close eye on this case moving forward, and strive to clear your son's name at the earliest."
Seeing Luo Fei hesitating, showing an alert expression.
Qiu Zhigang became even more wary.
"Wait, don't leave yet!"
It seemed the other was quite cautious.
Almost afraid someone might come to arrest him.
Luo Fei found it both funny and frustrating.
"Mr. Qiu, do you suspect that we're using this as a delay tactic, saying those things just to buy time to get someone to arrest you?"
"Well, anything's possible! Who can guarantee that this isn't the case?"
Qiu Zhigang was overwhelmed with grief and anger, his mind was chaotic.
Also, it was evident that he was uncertain whether he should trust others.
Luo Fei went ahead and suggested.
"Mr. Qiu, how about this? You come with us to the police station. We'll help you make a statement and record what you just said."
"This way, we can preserve the clues you've provided better."
Luo Fei seemed somewhat hopeful.
Qiu Zhigang hesitated again.
"Officer, even though I want to trust you, I still have my reservations."
Seeing the other acting timid.
Seemingly a bit nervous.
Shen Yueling grew impatient.
"Mr. Qiu, regardless of your reasons, the fact that you broke into my house is evident."
"I didn't call the police to arrest you immediately, which is already quite considerate. But now you still want to push further?"
"Well, if you can't assure me that you won't backtrack, I'll have to sue you after leaving here, accusing you of deliberately concealing the truth! This has delayed my chance to save my daughter!"
Clearly, the other was driven crazy by anger.
That's why he made such a decision.
Luo Fei had no choice but to agree.
"No problem, Mr. Qiu. I will start recording now and promise not to backtrack. Now you should be at ease, right?"
Seeing Luo Fei actually turn on the recording feature.
Qiu Zhigang suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, I trust you now!"
"Let's go to the police station. I'm willing to cooperate with the police and make a statement."
Watching him suddenly change his mind.
Shen Yueling found it both funny and frustrating.
Luckily, the other didn't continue causing unnecessary trouble.
Which relieved Shen Yueling slightly.
After a while.
As Qiu Zhigang and Shen Yueling arrived at the police station.
Su Jianfan, who had been waiting, was somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Luo, who is this person you're bringing back?"
Seeing him somewhat puzzled.
Luo Fei gave a playful smile.
"Su Jianfan, it's a long story."
"But speaking of it, I'm more curious, did you find any clues from the materials I provided earlier?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei's query.
Su Jianfan perked up immediately.
"Mr. Luo, indeed, I saw the girl's figure in the station surveillance footage from later that evening."
"And she was in the queue for a train in the waiting hall. I've already contacted the station's service desk by phone."
"Matching that train number, we've confirmed that the girl boarded the train under Sun Yida's watch after leaving the hotel, and her destination was Shenchuan."
Upon hearing Su Jianfan's words.
The old father beside them felt a pang in his heart.
"Shenchuan? What's she going to Shenchuan for?"
"Probably, maybe to find relatives there or start a new life. And three years ago was when Shenchuan was developing rapidly, with economic growth speeding up."
"At that time, several new factories were being established and recruiting, so she might have used a pseudonym to blend into the factory, making it not easy for those she disliked to find her."
Listening to Su Jianfan's analysis.
Qiu Zhigang became even more upset, his face flushed with irritation.
"This girl, she didn't even consider her father's feelings. If I had known she'd just leave like that and start anew over there, I wouldn't be so worried."
But seeing Qiu Zhigang dodging his gaze, seemed a bit embarrassed.
Luo Fei couldn't help but be curious.
"Mr. Qiu, based on our police investigation experience, people don't just run off to unfamiliar places they've never been to."
"So could it be there's something hidden, causing your daughter to go to Shenchuan? Perhaps it was planned long ago?"
Luo Fei's questioning.
Rendered Qiu Zhigang tongue-tied momentarily.
"Mr. Luo, truthfully speaking, my daughter's mother and I divorced long ago. We haven't seen each other for many years."
"But maybe because I never allowed my daughter to see her mother, and I deliberately hid that her mother was still alive, my daughter reacted strongly..."
Watching Qiu Zhigang stammer.
His speech somewhat disjointed.
Shen Yueling suddenly realized.
"Oh, turns out it was you and your ex-wife's bad relationship, you guys had separated long ago. You even knew there was this possibility."
"Yet even under such circumstances, you chose to believe your daughter was dead and deliberately troubled the hotel owner?"
Seeing Shen Yueling's amazement.
Seemingly unable to comprehend his actions.
Suspecting he might have known this possibility but chose not to inform the police.
Leading to subsequent tragedies.
And to gain compensation and mental damages, he resorted to unscrupulous means.
Qiu Zhigang hurriedly explained.
"No, Miss Shen, I absolutely didn't do it deliberately."
"I was just confused at the time, made no right decision in panic. If I had known she went to Shenchuan to find my ex-wife, I'd have immediately tried to contact her and prove it to the police."
Seeing Qiu Zhigang pause.
Luo Fei responded.
"Mr. Qiu, given the situation, I feel mutual blame isn't helpful."
"It's key to see if you can contact your ex-wife, to confirm your daughter's safety."
"Right, right, Mr. Luo is correct. However, I'm not sure if she's changed her phone number, so unfortunately, I might not reach her. Hope Mr. Luo can be prepared."
Seeing Qiu Zhigang hesitating.
Su Jianfan grew impatient.
"Mister, if you're desperate to know if your daughter is alive."
"Then there's no need to shield the truth, you should reveal it completely."
During the conversation.
Qiu Zhigang finally dialed the phone.
As he held his breath in anticipation.
A cold female voice came through.
"Hello, the number you dialed is on another call..."
Evidently, the other wasn't off, but directly rejected the call.
In Qiu Zhigang's anxiousness.
Luo Fei already dialed the number with his phone.
"Qiu Zhigang, are you still alive?"
"Didn't I tell you to stop contacting me, don't you understand?"
As soon as the call connected, a woman shouted angrily from the other end.
Luo Fei calmly explained.
"Ma'am, you've got it wrong. I'm the police."
Hearing it was the police.
The person was momentarily stunned, then astonished.
"Oh, so it's the police?"
"Did Qiu Zhigang commit a crime, did he do something outrageous, prompting your immediate call?"
"But I must clarify, if Qiu made a mistake, I won't be responsible for bailing him out."
