Chapter 1373 - 680: Another Suspect? A Long Silence (Part 2)

Such is Luo Fei’s performance.

Li Yu couldn’t help but admire it.

"Mr. Luo, I never expected you to be so optimistic. This truly makes people look at you in a different light."

While speaking, the two had already returned to the Major Crimes Unit.

When they arrived here.

Present at the scene, besides the middle-aged man’s daughter.

There were also three other people, seemingly a family of three.

Among them was a middle-aged sister, with a flushed face as if she had concerns.

This puzzled Luo Fei somewhat.

"Miss, what exactly is going on here, and who are these people beside you? What is their identity, and how are they related to this case?"

Luo Fei looked somewhat puzzled.

The girl took a deep breath.

"Officer, to be honest with you, my father got hurt because of his infidelity."

At this moment.

The middle-aged couple also said.

"Officer, the deceased was originally our mahjong friend. But because he always played mahjong with my wife, it even came to the point where he played at my house. So I couldn’t stand it any longer and killed him..."

This news made Luo Fei hesitate for a moment.

"Really? So your motive for murder was because he cheated on you?"

"Not just that, officer. He also threatened me, if I didn’t let him be with my wife, he would harm my daughter. But she’s just in high school. Not to mention, my eldest son is about to get married. I’ve endured for too long. That night, he invited me out for drinks and mocked me, saying I had too good a temper. So I couldn’t hold back and smashed his head with a bottle."

This revelation finally made Luo Fei understand.

In the end, it was because he acted impulsively.

And because for years, the family had been silently enduring to prepare for their son’s new house, until finally they could no longer bear it.

"Mr. Luo, you wouldn’t know, this man used to ask me to cook for him and play cards with my wife right in front of me."

"If I didn’t agree, they would get mad at me. What could I do?"

Seeing the man somewhat collapse, Luo Fei said.

"Sir, this isn’t really your fault. But you shouldn’t always endure whenever trouble arises, should you?"

Luo Fei’s words left the man feeling uncertain.

"Yes, the officer is right. Perhaps I was overly tolerant, leading to today’s outcome. I should indeed reflect on my mistakes."

Seeing him agree, somewhat remorseful at this point.

Luo Fei also said.

"Sir, though this isn’t your fault, the fact remains that you committed murder. I will consider applying for lenient treatment for you."

"You can rest assured about that."

Upon hearing him agree.

The man finally felt a bit relieved.

"Officer, thank you sincerely for this. I truly appreciate your consideration. It’s overwhelming."

But seeing his eyes red.

Luo Fei remained silent.

"Sir, I’m just doing my duty. Moreover, an important aspect is that we’re investigating other, more significant cases. I understand your anger and frustration."

Luo Fei’s empathy made the person extremely grateful.

"Officer, I’m really thankful to you for this."

Seeing the man agree.

At this point, he felt immeasurable gratitude.

Luo Fei waved his hand.

"Sir, you don’t need to thank me. I understand the humiliation and grievance you’ve suffered are beyond what ordinary people can experience."

"So don’t be too hard on yourself. Sometimes, things aren’t necessarily your fault, right?"

This news.

Made the man silent for a moment.

"Mr. Luo is right. I truly was too negligent."

Seeing him agree.

Luo Fei said nothing further.

"Sir, when it comes to family matters, I won’t interfere more. But now that things have escalated, I’m sure you’ve reached a breaking point. So in such circumstances, there’s no need for further endurance; seeking a divorce would be the right choice."

Luo Fei said this.

The middle-aged sister stood silently by.

Clearly, she’s dissatisfied with her husband and has thus strayed.

But in fact, the entire tragedy, including the husband’s fatal mistake, was also because of her.

Considering this.

Luo Fei was at a loss for words.

However, compared to him, Li Yu remained more composed.

She simply told Luo Fei.

"Mr. Luo, but if that’s the case, it indirectly suggests that we chose the wrong person this time. The suspect isn’t what we thought?"

Li Yu hesitated as she spoke.

Luo Fei replied.

"Indeed, so it seems we may have mistaken?"

At this moment.

Luo Fei was somewhat hesitant to speak.

Seeing him with a complex expression.

Li Yu also couldn’t help but frown.

"So, Mr. Luo, we can’t directly arrest Lin Shuyao right now."

Li Yu seemed slightly discouraged.

Luo Fei remained silent.

"Indeed, but we shouldn’t lose heart. Anyway, that girl will surely be more anxious than we are."

As Luo Fei said this.

The deceased’s relative paused before speaking.

"Mr. Luo, actually, I know a bit about Lin Shuyao. It’s just hard to say directly..."

Seeing her hesitance.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be curious.

"Miss, if you know anything related to her, you can feel free to speak up."

Upon hearing this.

The girl pondered for a moment, then patiently explained.

"Mr. Luo, I do know part of the story about Lin Shuyao."

"I’ve heard that she’s quite difficult, always causing trouble. This is truly unbearable."

Seeing her hesitation.

Luo Fei also said.

"Miss, I’m already grateful you’re providing us with leads. Although your words aren’t enough as court evidence, they prove one thing. Our prior efforts weren’t in vain, and we didn’t judge incorrectly. This girl indeed has significant problems."

As Luo Fei spoke, he seemed somewhat frustrated, with a complex expression.

The person was still surprised.

"Officer, do you feel the hope of capturing Lin Shuyao is slim?"

At this moment.

The girl was genuinely shocked and somewhat surprised.

Since she never expected.

Luo Fei, the Major Crimes Unit leader, would say such a thing.

Noticing her surprise.

She couldn’t have foreseen this.

Luo Fei remained silent.

"Miss, I know saying this might shock you, you might not want to believe it. But sometimes, the police aren’t all-powerful, we’re not invincible. All we can do is try our best with the existing clues."

On hearing this, the girl was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Luo, I do have surveillance footage. It was recorded by my dad at work, if you need it, I’m willing to give it to you as silent support."

Upon hearing this.

She was filled with expectation and anticipation.

Luo Fei replied without hesitation.

"Miss, I’m truly glad you’re willing to help the police."

"But officer, if someone asks where this footage came from, can you keep it confidential for me?"

Seeing her look hopeful.

Luo Fei replied assuredly.

"Of course, no problem."

His affirmative response made the girl breathe a little easier.
