Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

But unexpectedly, after coming to Shenchuan, she didn’t truly gain freedom.

Instead, she found herself having to care for her mother, going through fire and water for her, which left her physically and mentally exhausted.

Upon understanding Luo Fei’s intention,

Qiu Wanyu neither confirmed nor denied.

"Officer, I’ve actually gotten used to it. Even if I have to face these things alone, it doesn’t matter. I don’t mind that much."

"But I really didn’t expect that after knowing everything, my dad completely had no compassion for my mother, and no sympathy at all. Instead, he was very dismissive of her, even saying that he must have been blind to have chosen her back then. His lack of understanding of others, even after being divorced for so long, still believing my mother brought him shame, is something I can’t believe. I also think he is a bit too obsessive."

Qiu Wanyu won’t tell her father.

At that time, Wang Cuihua was facing both physiological and psychological pressures.

Because of uterine fibroids, she had surgery and often felt stomach pain after that.

Combined with the mental stress, she always felt that her divorce was wrong.

This made her feel ashamed, and coupled with the side effects of the medication, she developed depression.

This led her to later numb her nerves with alcohol.

So overall, she was also a victim.

This is also the reason for Qiu Wanyu’s soft heart.

Although her mother never raised her, it wasn’t because she didn’t want to, but because she wasn’t allowed to.

It was a result of her father’s obstruction.

And when she saw that her mother had been secretly caring for her all these years and still cared about her situation, Qiu Wanyu’s heart softened.

This made her willing to take care of her mother.

"Dad used to say he would never allow anyone to hurt me. Not even my mother. So when he heard that my mother allowed me to stay in Shenchuan and allowed me to date Ding Shaojun, he couldn’t understand."

"In his view, mom is indulging me to repeat the same mistakes. But in fact, mom just doesn’t want me to love someone I don’t like. She hopes I can follow my heart and be with someone I truly like."

Qiu Wanyu’s words made Luo Fei nod.

"Miss Qiu, I roughly understand your meaning."

"However, I think both your parents are not wrong. They just have their own positions. I also think if it’s just such a small matter, it wouldn’t drive them to this point. So there must be hidden truths involved. It’s just that we don’t know yet."

Luo Fei’s analysis made Qiu Wanyu nod.

"Mr. Luo is right, I was just pondering. Could it be that they are deliberately hiding something from me?"

"But when I go to ask my father, he definitely won’t tell me."

Upon saying this, Qiu Wanyu’s expression became a bit complicated.

Obviously, because she has been separated from her parents for several years now,

she has become somewhat numb, and doesn’t quite understand her parents’ feelings or the choices they’ve made.

Only by looking at Qiu Wanyu hesitating to speak, her expression slightly complex,

Luo Fei comforted her.

"Miss Qiu, how about this, we the police will first send someone to keep an eye on Wang Cuihua. If she wakes up, we will immediately send someone to talk to her. This way, will you finally be at ease?"

These words from Luo Fei immediately brightened up Qiu Wanyu’s face.

"Mr. Luo, then I’ll entrust this matter to you."

"After all, my father is a stubborn old fool. If I were to talk to him, it would definitely go nowhere. So it’s better to leave this to the police."

Ring ring ring!

Almost at the same time.

Luo Fei’s phone rang.

Upon looking down, he could not help but frown.

"Old Han, let’s return to the station."

Noticing his slightly off expression, looking complex,

Old Han could roughly guess something had happened.

Indeed,

As Luo Fei and Old Han returned to the entrance of the station,

several parents had already gathered here.

As Luo Fei and Han Tiesheng got out of the car,

these parents surrounded them.

"Officer, please be lenient!"

"My child is only in middle school! What does he understand?"

"He only did such a thing in a moment of impulse. Please take me instead of my son!"

...

But hearing the parents’ cries,

Luo Fei earnestly said,

"All parents, although your children are still underage, perhaps precisely because they know they are minors, they dared to commit such heinous acts."

"If you shield them this time and they avoid jail, they will think that even if they make mistakes, someone will bear the consequences for them, go to jail for them, so will they reflect? They won’t even realize their errors, and next time, when they commit even more unforgivable acts, will you lay down your lives for them again?"

Luo Fei’s seriousness left the parents looking at each other.

They also realized.

What was said is perhaps right.

But for the sake of their dignity, they could only stand silently.

Compared to them, Luo Fei was much more composed.

He just walked through the crowd.

Entering the police station.

He softly asked,

"Everyone, have you found anything?"

Hearing Luo Fei’s question, with a bit of anticipation in his tone,

Lan Mengzhou also spoke,

"Mr. Luo, this Zhou Lei is actually quite pitiful."

Hearing this name,

Luo Fei took a moment to react before asking,

"Are you talking about the murderer who ruthlessly killed two old men?"

"Yes."

Lan Mengzhou said, neither confirming nor denying.

"Mr. Luo, you might not know,

but Zhou Lei was bullied, which left him with childhood trauma."

After Lan Mengzhou explained, Luo Fei realized.

It turns out Zhou Lei was once a sunny boy who never hurt anyone.

He never imagined being forcibly coerced by a much older man into doing unspeakable things.

Even worse, after many instances, he actually started to enjoy the feeling.

He even began a romantic relationship with the man, lasting more than a year.

But later, the man had an affair and fled town.

This made Zhou Lei feel betrayed.

He began to realize that his actions were abnormal and wrong.

The psychological shadow imprinted on Zhou Lei for life.

So began his twisted behavior.

Realizing this, Luo Fei could only click his tongue.

"If this is the case, does Zhou Lei still count as a victim?"

Seeing Luo Fei’s surprise,

Lan Mengzhou also said,

"Yes and no. But the fact is he committed murder. He has to face execution."

With a shrug, Lan Mengzhou spoke.

Luo Fei nodded,

"Indeed, although he was once a victim, that doesn’t justify harming others, does it?"

Noticing Lan Mengzhou seemed hesitant to speak,

Luo Fei couldn’t help his curiosity,

"Miss Lan, could it be you’re starting to feel sympathy for this person? That’s quite unexpected."

Seeing Luo Fei’s surprise,

perhaps not expecting such a reaction,

Lan Mengzhou simply neither confirmed nor denied.

"There’s nothing of the sort, Mr. Luo, rest assured."

"I was actually thinking about the Fu Kangwen case."

"After all, from our current investigations, Zhou Lei has no connection to this case. He doesn’t even know Fu Kangwen, let alone any motive to harm him, or even kill to silence."

"Correct."

Luo Fei knew Zhou Lei was twisted inside, always targeting the elderly, people in their seventies or eighties.

But Fu Kangwen was just in his thirties.

Completely not within Zhou Lei’s typical victim profile, so saying he killed Fu Kangwen seemed far-fetched.

But just as Luo Fei was mulling this over,

from a distance came a cry of alarm,

"Something’s wrong, something’s terribly wrong, murder! Officer, help!"
