Chapter 1292 - 640: Runaway Coward? The Real Culprit Caught

But upon hearing the other’s words,

Zou Yubo was incredibly shocked.

"Wife, you suspect me? Do you really see me as that kind of person?"

"Aren’t you?"

Boss lady Zhou Xiaojuan said with a sob in her voice.

She was clearly feeling utter despair about her current life.

She couldn’t accept the fact that Zhao Kuanlin had been killed.

At the same time, she couldn’t shake off her ex-husband, nor had the courage to perish together with him.

"If I had known it would be like this, I should have died with you earlier, instead of letting you harm other innocent people and making them scapegoats!"

But hearing his wife say that,

Zou Hongbo very seriously replied,

"Wife, this matter is not what you think."

"I can also assure you. I definitely did not kill anyone!"

Bang!

But before he could finish,

the boss lady had already hung up the phone.

Her hands trembling as she dug out a dollar and handed it to the supermarket owner.

Only then did she raise her phone and angrily asked,

"Officer, did he do it or not?"

"Even though he denies it, I know it’s definitely his fault, it’s his fault, isn’t it!"

Catching the confusion in the boss lady’s tone,

Luo Fei hurriedly comforted her.

"Zhou Xiaojuan, please calm down first."

"Officer, I can’t calm down, how can you ask me to calm down! If it’s not him, then who could it possibly be? Only he would do such a disgusting thing, right!"

At this moment, Zhou Xiaojuan’s eyes were bloodshot.

Her face flushed red.

Seeing her incredibly furious, nearly losing her rationality,

Luo Fei quickly comforted her again.

"Zhou Xiaojuan, I know you’re upset. But we can’t judge people by appearances. Moreover, his tone just now didn’t sound like he was lying."

Luo Fei’s words made Zhou Xiaojuan shudder.

"Officer, are you sure you’re not just comforting me? I can actually handle it; no matter what news comes, I can accept it."

At this point, Zhou Xiaojuan spoke earnestly.

But Luo Fei told her,

"Ms. Zhou, we cannot label someone just because of the pain you endure and the grievances you’ve suffered over the years. Doing so is undoubtedly unfair. Whether to you or your ex-husband."

Luo Fei’s words made the corner of Zhou Xiaojuan’s mouth twitch.

Although she was upset, she had no choice but to yield.

"Mr. Luo, if I manage to obtain evidence proving he’s the problem, will you believe me then?"

Zhou Xiaojuan asked expectantly.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Of course, if there’s evidence, we police certainly act based on evidence. But the premise is, your evidence must be correct and not fabricated out of personal motives to frame someone."

Luo Fei’s words made the other party ponder for a moment.

"Officer, I understand your point. Don’t worry, I’ll find enough evidence. I’ll find a way to prove he’s problematic."

"..."

Without waiting for Luo Fei to ask more, the other party had already hung up the phone.

This left,

Li Yu feeling a bit vexed.

"Mr. Luo, won’t this woman actually do something reckless to prove her innocence? Even risking her own life?"

Seeing Li Yu anxious,

Luo Fei could only reassure him.

"Most likely not. She’s someone very adept at self-preservation, quite smart."

But hearing Luo Fei say that,

the Jiang Yongshou couple beside them were dumbfounded.

"No, officer, is this just going to end like this? You’re not going to do anything?"

Seeing the Jiang Yongshou couple surprised,

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"I sympathize with your situation, but since the HR manager confessed to extortion, he will bear the responsibility."

"As for the Zhao Kuanlin case, we police need to continue to investigate further. Before the results are out, we cannot hastily draw conclusions or arbitrarily convict innocent people."

Luo Fei spoke sincerely,

but the couple in front of him were still dumbfounded.

"How can this be?"

"Are we just going to be sitting ducks, unable to do anything?"

Seeing them surprised and worried,

Li Yu couldn’t help but feel concerned.

"Mr. Luo, maybe this person wasn’t targeting Zhao Kuanlin, but his wife. Or perhaps, when his wife was driving, she might have provoked someone, who knows?"

"That’s possible. But to be thorough, let’s first visit the local taxi company."

After some time,

the group led by Luo Fei arrived at the taxi company.

The receptionist here couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

"Officer, didn’t you call us before? Why come over specifically again? Has there been new progress in the case investigation?"

Seeing the other party surprised, seemingly not expecting his actions,

Luo Fei seriously replied,

"During our previous investigation, there were some details that weren’t addressed. That’s why we specially came to inquire in person. I hope this hasn’t inconvenienced you?"

Seeing Luo Fei serious, his tone calm and composed,

This person quickly explained,

"No, no, absolutely not."

"I swear by heaven, we are willing to actively cooperate with the police. If the officer needs anything, just ask us."

Seeing the other party respectful,

Luo Fei then nodded and said,

"Sir, judging by your appearance... seems like you’re the business department manager of the taxi company?"
