Chapter 1270 - 629: Found a Breakthrough? Major Differences

"Hello?"

The call was picked up.

A factory employee’s voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Luo, aren’t you looking for evidence?"

"I do have some here. Including previous food safety issues at this factory. I know about all of that, it’s just that we signed confidentiality agreements before. The factory also required us not to say a single bad word about it during our employment. But things are different now."

Hearing what the employee said,

Luo Fei chuckled and asked back,

"Sir, are you sure what you’re going to say is the truth, and not just you wanting to get back at the factory this way because you were fired?"

"Officer, there’s no need for that. I can guarantee that every word I’m about to say is true. Please, you have to believe me."

He could hear the man’s intention.

His tone was full of sincerity.

Only then did Luo Fei nod in genuine relief.

"All right then. But it’s not convenient to talk here. Later, let’s go to the interrogation room at the station."

"Huh? Officer, I still have to go to the interrogation room?"

At that moment,

the man was truly a bit scared, and also a bit embarrassed.

Just from his voice, Luo Fei could tell he was somewhat startled, seemingly resistant to the idea.

But Luo Fei spoke sternly,

"Sir, even though I’m willing to believe you, we police can’t just take everything at face value.

So we have to make sure what you say is true and can really serve as evidence, not something you just dreamed up and fabricated. I hope you can understand that."

Luo Fei’s words made the man hesitate for a moment.

"I understand, Mr. Luo."

"Then we’ll see you in a bit. I’ll take a taxi over with a few coworkers right away."

While he was talking,

Luo Fei and his group had already returned to the station.

Almost at the same time,

Lan Mengzhou also informed Luo Fei,

"Mr. Luo, just now, Shenchuan sent word. They say they’ve found a production base for recorders used in fraud. Quite a few recorders and MP4 players in the middle of being made were discovered there."

"I think this will definitely help cut down the chances of innocent people being scammed."

As Lan Mengzhou spoke, his face was glowing, full of delighted excitement.

Luo Fei nodded in satisfaction as well.

"That really is good news. But we still can’t relax."

Luo Fei said this not without reason, but because these scammers often get people to scan codes.

They use QR codes and personal information forms to run pyramid-style marketing.

Luring more innocent victims into falling for their schemes.

And their primary targets are mostly elderly people.

So Luo Fei and his team still couldn’t let up.

Once he realized this,

Lan Mengzhou, standing to one side, could only half agree.

"Mr. Luo, what you’re saying does make sense. I’ll tell my people to pay extra attention to this. And during the livestreams, we’ll try to be patient with the elderly, to keep them from getting scammed further."

Talking as they walked, the two had already returned to the police station.

But just as they arrived,

they saw a middle-aged woman kneeling at the entrance, knocking her head on the ground again and again.

Her forehead was already swollen.

"Officer, I beg you, I’m begging you, please don’t let my old man quit his job. If he loses his job, then the pillar of our family will be gone!"

She was clearly very agitated,

her tone full of grief.

Luo Fei sighed and said,

"Ma’am, we police can’t make your husband resign of his own accord."

"He was fired by the company. If you want to request anything, you should go to the company, not us. Isn’t that right?"

Seeing Luo Fei a bit puzzled,

a little confused,

the woman shook her head desperately, her face full of pain.

"Officer, you don’t know. I just called the company. I begged them not to dismiss my husband, but they refused no matter how I pleaded."

She looked extremely upset,

her face written with helplessness.

Luo Fei drew a deep breath,

and said seriously,

"Ma’am, I really understand how you feel. I also know you care a lot about your husband."

"But right now we’ve identified him as a possible killer, a suspect in the case. At a time like this, his very life might be at risk, and yet you’re still only worried about whether he can go back to work?"

Luo Fei’s words made her snap into clarity almost instantly.

At the same time, she looked over at her husband, standing not far away, awkward and wooden, in disbelief.

"Honey, tell me honestly, did you kill anyone or not?"

Seeing his wife’s face filled with astonishment,

as if she couldn’t believe he could do such a thing,

the husband was both tearful and exasperated.

"Of course not! I just happened to see the body while I was moving goods. Right now I’m assisting the police with the investigation."

Hearing his answer,

the wife finally came to her senses.

"So that’s how it is? Wang Deshun, are you sure you’re really not lying?"

She looked at him warily,

her face full of disbelief,

as if suspecting he might be a murderer.

Wang Deshun quickly shook his head.

"Honey, what are you thinking? In your eyes, am I really that kind of killer?"

At that moment,

Wang Deshun was genuinely stunned.

But the woman next to him spoke very earnestly,

"Honey, it’s just that I’m afraid you might go down the wrong path, how is that wrong?"

"If you really did something so immoral and harmful, how would our son and I go on living? I’m just sincerely worried about you—how can that be wrong?"
