Chapter 1269 - 628: Suppressed Anger? Taking an Alternative Path (2)

The few people waiting here early on were also very respectful, their faces full of confusion.

"Hello, officer!"

Seeing the other party take the initiative to greet him, his tone was also very respectful.

Luo Fei responded seriously.

"Everyone, let me be straightforward. This incident clearly involved someone deliberately committing murder. And the person who moved the body was the one responsible for transporting the pre-prepared dishes at that time."

"Therefore, if any of you know something, it’s best to speak directly, otherwise, I won’t easily let those who fail to report what they know off the hook."

Seeing the other party with a stern face.

The few people fell silent for a while, then one thin and dark man couldn’t hold back.

He quickly told Luo Fei.

"Officer, I admit, I was the one who discovered the body at the time. However, we truly didn’t know where the body came from or how to deal with it. So we just carried on with it."

Luo Fei listened and shook his head with a smile.

"You all seem quite honest, but why didn’t you report the incident to us as soon as you discovered the body? Why wait until now to speak up?"

Seeing the other party was somewhat confused.

The few people had to take a deep breath.

"Officer, we are just workers. If we had reported the body during transport, we would have been the first suspects. At that time, regardless of whether we did it or not, as the first ones to find the body, we’d most likely be fired by the company. But we can’t afford to lose this job."

Hearing the analysis.

Luo Fei nodded and said.

"I understand now. You young people, it really isn’t easy for you..."

Seeing that Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.

Also feeling a bit sorry for themselves.

The few people hurriedly waved their hands.

"Officer, we just don’t want to cause trouble."

"You should understand. We wish to keep our jobs."

Seeing the few people looking somewhat embarrassed, still feeling a bit at a loss when saying this.

Luo Fei also nodded.

"Everyone, I understand your thoughts. I also understand your concerns. I know it’s not easy for you. So, as long as you explain the events, I will be lenient with you."

...

After talking with them.

Li Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

"Mr. Luo, these people don’t seem to have major issues. But I always feel they might be hiding something, we just don’t know what."

Seeing Li Yu being so serious.

He seemed a bit hesitant as he continued.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Indeed, you are right."

Luo Fei was too clear that each of these people harbored motives.

He couldn’t trust their words completely.

He must have his own judgment.

And seeing Luo Fei somewhat hesitant.

His expression was complicated as he spoke this.

Han Tiesheng also spoke.

"Mr. Luo, do you think it’s possible their company asked them to do this, and they had no choice but to comply?"

Just seeing Old Han somewhat hesitant to speak.

Li Yu felt the other’s words were a bit too far-fetched.

"Old Han, your imagination is quite something."

"Miss Yang terminated the contract voluntarily. Even if she couldn’t pay the full penalty, the company could at least recover some costs. But if they killed her, not only would they not get the money, but the company’s reputation would also plummet. Why would they do something so harmful without benefit?"

What Li Yu said was unexpected, with a few notes of surprise in his tone.

But Luo Fei spoke seriously.

"I actually think this possibility isn’t entirely non-existent. After all, this company might be hiding some shady secret."

"And if Miss Yang had leverage over them and threatened to expose it, she wouldn’t need to pay any penalty and could even be seen as a righteous person uncovering food safety issues and fighting injustice."

Luo Fei’s words gave Han Tiesheng confidence.

"Mr. Luo, that’s exactly what I mean. Moreover, those few employees just now seemed like they had something to say but were too embarrassed to speak."

Han Tiesheng said this and exchanged a look with Luo Fei.

Meanwhile, Luo Fei immediately headed to the deputy factory manager’s office.

He said gravely.

"Deputy factory manager, your factory’s employees don’t seem as obedient as you said. Besides, they seem to have something they’re deliberately hiding."

Speaking with a calm tone.

The deputy factory manager was a bit puzzled.

"Officer, you say they are hiding something, what exactly?"

"I can’t say for sure. I just feel they aren’t quite willing to cooperate with the police. Because they all fear losing their jobs after revealing the truth."

"That’s why I said, they don’t have such high awareness. They’re only focused on their jobs."

Seeing Luo Fei somewhat frustrated.

Stopping his words with hesitation.

The deputy factory manager was growing angry.

"This is outrageous!"

"Don’t they realize their silence could affect the company’s interests?"

The deputy factory manager was so angry his face was red.

Also, a bit puzzled.

Luo Fei shook his head and said.

"It’s no use. At crucial times, everyone looks out for themselves. They’re just trying to maintain their legitimate rights and not lose their jobs."

"So I suggest the deputy factory manager cooperate with me in staging a play."

Luo Fei’s proposal aroused the deputy factory manager’s curiosity.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean exactly? I really don’t understand."

Seeing the deputy factory manager’s curiosity.

Luo Fei explained patiently.

"Deputy factory manager, my idea is that we can stage a play together to make these people think they’ve lost their jobs. This way, they’ll have nothing to lose and will tell us the truth."

"Ah? This..."

But upon hearing the suggestion.

The deputy factory manager was a bit hesitant.

And seeing his hesitation.

Luo Fei couldn’t help being surprised.

"Deputy factory manager, don’t you want to uncover the truth, or are you afraid?"

Seeing Luo Fei somewhat bewildered, seemingly not expecting his hesitation.

The deputy factory manager quickly waved his hand.

"Officer, that’s not the case. We’re not just thinking about our own lives or losses."

"It’s just, if these people speak out carelessly after being fired, they might say unpleasant things and damage the company’s image."

But seeing the other party hesitant to speak.

Luo Fei found it amusing.

"Deputy factory manager, am I hearing you right? At a time like this, you’re still worried about the company’s image?"

"You must know, this involves human lives. If it turns out that your company is deeply involved, you’ll be in serious trouble."

Luo Fei spoke earnestly.

This made the deputy factory manager break out in a cold sweat.

"No, officer, please don’t misunderstand..."

"Deputy factory manager, rest assured. Although they might speak carelessly, we police aren’t so easily swayed. We won’t believe everything they say."

Seeing Luo Fei speak with such confidence and assurance.

The deputy factory manager took a deep breath.

Rubbing his temples.

"Alright then, officer. Since you put it like that, I’ll follow your lead."

Seeing the other party agree.

Luo Fei gave a wide smile.

"That’s right, deputy factory manager. I knew you would agree. After all, this is a serious matter."

Seeing Luo Fei remain composed.

The deputy factory manager had no choice but to coldly contact the head of the HR department.

After watching him make the call.

Only then did Luo Fei and his group confidently leave the pre-prepared food production factory.

Seeing Luo Fei full of confidence.

Striding away with his head held high.

Li Yu and Old Han were still a bit worried.

"Mr. Luo, are you sure this trick will work?"

Li Yu asked with some hesitation.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Just wait and see."

Ring, ring, ring!

Sure enough, before the group even left the cold storage factory.

Luo Fei’s phone was already ringing.
