Chapter 1372 - 680: Another Suspect? A Long Silence

Even though she heard Luo Fei’s comforting words.

Zhang Xiaoli still felt a mix of emotions in her heart, and even a bit uncomfortable.

"Mr. Luo, not to mention other things, I truly didn’t expect this. Such a young girl would do something like this. It really surprises me."

Watching her eyes dim.

Luo Fei also comforted her.

"Ms. Zhang, for you to handle things so gracefully, it’s already quite commendable. I also believe her family, no matter what, will be thankful to you.

Luo Fei’s response surprised Zhang Xiaoli.

"Mr. Luo, do you really think so? You don’t blame me at all?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoli’s surprise, she seemed almost unable to believe her ears.

Luo Fei was noncommittal.

"Zhang Xiaoli, isn’t this quite a normal thing?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders, and everyone’s psychological tolerance is different. Perhaps her perspective and social experience were lacking, which led to this outcome."

Luo Fei’s words also caused Zhang Xiaoli’s dark eyes to dim.

But seeing him agree.

Zhang Xiaoli felt a bit excited inside.

"Mr. Luo, speaking of this incident, I am truly grateful to you."

"You helped prove my innocence, so I am very appreciative."

But just as they were talking.

Luo Fei received a phone call.

"Ms. Zhang, although I would like to stay a bit longer, I’ve indeed encountered other matters. So I can’t continue to stay with you."

Luo Fei spoke with a hint of hesitation.

Zhang Xiaoli quickly nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Luo, you’re kidding. You’re always busy with official duties, and surely have many things to handle every day. So being unable to attend to my matters is understandable."

Just as they spoke.

Luo Fei was already moving, preparing to leave.

More importantly.

The call he received reported another murder case.

This made Luo Fei’s expression become increasingly grave.

"Mr. Luo, do you think there’s a necessary connection between these cases?"

"Could it possibly be related to that Lin Shuyao?"

"Can’t say for sure."

Luo Fei received the report; the deceased was a middle-aged man.

And when discovered, half of his head was smashed.

However, since half of the face was still intact, he was recognized.

He was a parent of a student at Luo Meihong’s school.

This had already drawn Luo Meihong’s attention.

"Mr. Luo, over here!"

After a while.

As Luo Fei arrived at the crime scene.

He discovered it was a small village town in the suburbs.

But upon seeing the scene.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

For what appeared before him was a somewhat frightening sight.

The charred half-face body lay in a drainage ditch at an abandoned construction site.

And many people were already gathered around, watching.

"Mr. Luo, the deceased is a middle-aged man."

"And he was the father of a student in our school."

Upon hearing Luo Meihong’s explanation.

Luo Fei was noncommittal once again.

"Ms. Luo, are you sure?"

"Does he have any grievances with Lin Shuyao?"

"This... I’m not very clear."

Luo Meihong, although the vice principal, is usually busy with official duties.

Thus, she doesn’t handle most school matters personally.

So upon hearing Luo Fei’s question, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Mr. Luo, although I don’t want to admit it, I don’t know all the students and their parents well. So it might be possible they encountered some trouble but I am unaware or, basically, don’t understand."

"But you can rest assured. I’ll have someone take responsibility for this incident."

Seeing her promise.

Luo Fei felt slightly relieved.

Almost simultaneously.

Nearby Li Yu reminded.

"Mr. Luo, we just reached out to the daughter of this middle-aged man. She said she’s willing to cooperate with the police investigation. But we aren’t sure if you can maintain confidentiality about what she’ll say next?"

Upon hearing Li Yu’s question.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

"What’s wrong with the young people nowadays?"

To Luo Fei, the situation before him seemed somewhat amusing.

For he never thought.

Investigating this case would be so complicated.

But seeing that Luo Fei seemed a bit frustrated.

Li Yu also hesitated.

"Mr. Luo, do you think we should send more officers from the station to help in a detailed investigation? Otherwise, if each time requires us to expend great effort to solve, it would be quite troublesome."

Seeing Li Yu hesitate.

He seemed unsure of how to proceed.

Luo Fei was noncommittal once again.

"It’s okay. If we don’t personally investigate, we might miss some key details. Sometimes, solving a case hinges on these details. That’s the most important."

Luo Fei’s reminder.

Surprised Li Yu.

"Mr. Luo, you’re so dedicated and responsible. That’s truly remarkable."

Seeing her a bit doubtful.

Luo Fei was noncommittal once again.

"Li Yu, isn’t this within reason? If we pay close attention to this case, it might make Lin Shuyao think we’ve caught hold of something against her. That’s why we’re concerned about this case."
