Chapter 1290 - 639: Unpleasant Expression? Just as Expected

But upon seeing Wang Xinlin appear.

Jiang Yongshou nearby turned quite grim.

"You say you’re not the murderer, and we should believe you. Do you think everything you say will be believed by everyone?"

While saying this, Jiang Yongshou shook his head with a hint of amusement.

But Wang Xinlin replied seriously.

"Brother Jiang, although I did have an improper relationship with Manager Song, once it was discovered by our subordinates, we agreed to play good cop-bad cop and drive the other away. We also ended the relationship then."

"I am absolutely not capable of murder or arson. Please, I hope you will discern the truth clearly!"

Wang Xinlin broke into a sweat, fine beads forming on his forehead.

But Luo Fei, standing by, also picked up another nuance from his words.

"Sir, you’re saying you didn’t commit murder or arson. Can I then assume you might have tried to extort Mr. Jiang? Moreover, do you intend to fish in troubled waters with this murder case?"

Luo Fei’s words made Wang Xinlin hold his breath and concentrate instantly.

"No, officer, absolutely not! I can swear to heaven that there’s no such thing!"

As Wang Xinlin continued, his panic grew, and his speech became incoherent.

But Song Minli suddenly recalled.

Previously, Zhao Kuanlin lent his email account to the HR department for replying to recruitment emails.

Because Wang Xinlin’s own email had too much traffic and got blocked.

"Wang Xinlin, I truly never expected you would do such a thing."

Seeing the other’s incredulity.

Almost disbelieving he had done such a thing.

Wang Xinlin desperately shook his head.

"No, Manager Song, you have to hear me out. I just wanted to make some extra money. Plus, Zhao Kuanlin specifically asked me to borrow over a hundred thousand, and he hasn’t paid it back yet. What I did was only to recoup my losses!"

Wang Xinlin seemed awkward.

An immensely embarrassed expression crossed his face.

Luo Fei was curious.

"Mr. Wang, why did Manager Zhao borrow money from you? What was he doing with it?"

Although Song Minli and her husband were fueled with anger.

But since Luo Fei spoke first.

With a life on the line, they restrained their anger and asked.

"Wang Xinlin, if I were you, I’d come clean. What exactly is going on?"

Noticing the other’s cautiousness.

Wang Xinlin had to take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, to speak frankly."

"Zhao Kuanlin borrowed money from me not just once. Whenever I asked what it was for, he said it was to supplement his wife. But when I asked his wife recently, she claimed she knew nothing about her husband borrowing money for her."

"She also said he hands over his salary each month for her to manage, leaving him almost penniless. If he used money for anything else, she’d likely know."

Hearing this.

Luo Fei sensed increasingly that something was amiss.

Moreover, it was likely the truth would prove.

Zhao Kuanlin was more complicated than he thought.

"Mr. Luo, just now, the tech department has read all the call records and SMS from Zhao Kuanlin’s phone. We’ve learned that, except for his wife, the person he called most was a local night snack shop owner."

A female colleague reminded him.

Luo Fei nodded with a smile.

"Thank you."

While speaking.

Luo Fei dialed the number and put it on speaker.

Signaling everyone to keep quiet.

Although Jiang Yongshou remained angry, with his emotions boiling.

Due to the urgent situation.

For the sake of a speedy resolution, he held his breath.

Listening to the call with patience.

"Hello, who is this? This is Xiaojun Night Snack Shop."

Hearing this voice.

With an undertone of sobbing.

Luo Fei immediately sensed something wrong.

"Miss, we’ve received a report anonymously. Suggesting you and Zhao Kuanlin may have had an improper relationship, and his murder seems linked to you. Because you both often conversed by phone, I hope you’ll come to the station and assist in the investigation."

Upon hearing this.

She immediately denied it.

"That’s not true! Mr. Zhao and I were just friends. We have no improper relationship!"

"And while it’s true I borrowed money from him, I’ll repay it later!"

Understanding her intent.

Luo Fei exchanged glances with those beside him.

"Miss, you mention borrowing money from Zhao Kuanlin?"

"No, no. It wasn’t me asking. He saw my business struggling and lent me several thousand for turnover. Beyond that, we have no improper relationship."

However, despite her claims.

Luo Fei was convinced.

The matter wasn’t that simple.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Madam, although your words are somewhat convincing, only just so."

"After all, if you’re just friends, why would Zhao Kuanlin borrow money from others, hiding it from his wife, just for you? A man whose wages are entirely controlled by his wife doing something so exceptional likely indicates your relationship isn’t normal, right?"
