Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter

Chapter 1041 - 514: Taking the Initiative to Strike Up a Conversation? Making a Sacrifice (2)

Zhao Mengyao could only helplessly confess.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest."

"I suspect that it might have been my boyfriend who harmed my father, but I don’t have concrete evidence or sufficient proof to substantiate this."

As Zhao Mengyao spoke, she seemed hesitant to continue.

Her expression became extraordinarily awkward.

But Luo Fei asked suspiciously.

"Miss Zhao, I’m genuinely curious. What led you to this conclusion?"

"Officer, I know you might not believe me if I say this. You might even think I’m deliberately framing him."

"But that’s not the case."

"I just found some clues, but I’m not sure, so I decided to come to you."

Seeing that she had difficulty finishing what she wanted to say.

Luo Fei nodded.

"I understand, Miss Zhao. In that case, why don’t you come with me? I’ll take you to the room next door, and we can have a good talk about your boyfriend’s matter."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Luo."

At this moment.

Zhao Mengyao bowed deeply to Luo Fei.

A while later.

When the two got into the car.

Luo Fei locked the car door.

At that moment, Zhao Mengyao suddenly couldn’t hold back and began to cry.

"Mr. Luo, why am I so unfortunate?"

"My father has just been murdered, and now I’m in trouble myself. I’m really in a miserable situation!"

Seeing her eyes turn red.

Suddenly starting to complain.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

"Miss Zhao, weren’t you going to tell me about the case? Why did you suddenly start crying?"

From the moment Zhao Mengyao got in the car.

Luo Fei had already started recording.

So every word she said was entirely preserved by the recorder.

He wasn’t worried that Zhao Mengyao might pretend to be pitiful and do something outrageous.

However, this scene was witnessed by Li Yu, who had just come out of the restaurant.

Her expression turned icy in an instant.

...

Inside the car.

Upon hearing Luo Fei’s suspicion.

Zhao Mengyao cried even more fiercely.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Luo, I really didn’t mean it. I didn’t intend to lose control. Just thinking about certain things makes my heart ache, hence my reaction."

It wasn’t until Zhao Mengyao came to her senses that she realized she had practically leaned her entire body on Luo Fei’s shoulder.

This made her feel even more embarrassed.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Luo, that’s my fault."

"I didn’t mean to cry just now, nor was I intentionally complaining. It’s just, my emotions got the better of me. I’m really sorry."

Seeing her hesitate to speak, then lowering her head.

Her face blushed slightly.

She seemed very uneasy.

Luo Fei also took a deep breath.

"Tell me, what exactly makes you think your fiancé is suspicious?"

At this moment.

Hearing Luo Fei speak earnestly.

Zhao Mengyao had no choice but to patiently explain.

"Mr. Luo, actually speaking about this is a little embarrassing. Because initially, when I was dating Liu Hanyuan, my father strongly opposed."

"He felt that the man seemed unreliable and probably wouldn’t be genuinely good to me. But back then, I didn’t think too much about it. I just felt that I liked him, and he liked me, that was enough."

After Zhao Mengyao’s explanation.

Luo Fei understood.

It turned out that Zhao Mengyao was eager to receive her father’s approval.

She also believed.

That Liu Hanyuan was quite romantic and a thoughtful man.

Though he had been married before.

He didn’t have any children.

"But my father insisted that the man seemed unreliable and thought he had ulterior motives in approaching me, without any legitimate intentions."

Later, Zhao Mengyao forcefully defended her decision.

And Liu Hanyuan even offered a property under his name as a gift and bride price for Zhao Mengyao.

This barely put the old father at ease.

However, after hearing her account, Luo Fei seemed a bit baffled.

"But Miss Zhao, from your description, this gentleman seems nice to you and quite exceptional."

In Luo Fei’s view.

If someone would kill for love.

There might be an unspeakable reason behind it.

Most likely for personal gain.

But from Zhao Mengyao and Liu Hanyuan’s perspective.

Their financial standings are quite similar.

Also detecting Luo Fei’s suspicion.

The tone seemed slightly bewildered.

Zhao Mengyao had no choice but to patiently explain.

"Mr. Luo, I know it might seem unbelievable to you.

Because for us, we’re a suitable match."

"But in my father’s view, I am his only precious daughter. He hopes to find a devoted son-in-law, thus expecting Liu Hanyuan to marry into the family."

"He hoped Liu Hanyuan would promise to be good to me for a lifetime and never cheat or betray me, thus he made unreasonable demands."

This analysis.

Made Luo Fei nod.

"I understand."

"From this perspective, indeed, your father did something excessive. It’s easy to hold grudges."

"Certainly."

Zhao Mengyao echoed at this moment.

"I also told my father before, one shouldn’t trample on others’ dignity like this."

"But my father said, even if someone claims to love me, if he can’t fulfill this little matter for me, then he isn’t truly sincere."

Although Zhao Mengyao smiled bitterly with some helplessness.

From Luo Fei’s viewpoint.

It completely seemed as if Zhao Mengyao’s father brought this on himself.

It was his unreasonable demands that upset the other party.

It isn’t unlikely he resorted to extreme measures.

Still, for this case, Luo Fei has his own judgment.

He also felt there were doubts in all this.

So he seriously stated.

"Miss Zhao, even though I’ve listened to your words and they seem reasonable, I still need more concrete and persuasive evidence."

"Otherwise, if it’s just your account alone, I can’t arbitrarily convict someone based on your testimony."

Zhao Mengyao swiftly agreed.

"Mr. Luo, actually, I too couldn’t believe it before."

"Because my husband always behaved well before. We were about to get married in a little over two weeks."

"But just last night, something happened that made me feel my father’s death is strongly connected to him."

Realizing Zhao Mengyao seemed hesitant to continue.

Clearly having learned something significant.

Luo Fei’s curiosity was piqued.

"Miss Zhao, just tell me. If you ensure the truth in every word you say next, then I’m willing to trust you and pursue the investigation based on your perspective."

Luo Fei’s words.

Made Zhao Mengyao take a deep breath.

"Mr. Luo, actually, here’s what happened. Earlier yesterday, he and I were discussing the arrangements for my father’s funeral."

"I hope my father gets a respectable send-off, but he suggested keeping it low-key due to my father’s past misdeeds which might attract enemies, causing trouble."

Additionally.

Liu Hanyuan mentioned.

There had been previous news reports about similar incidents.

Any carelessness could lead to unimaginable consequences.

Listening to him.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

"From a certain perspective, what he said isn’t entirely wrong. Your father did evoke a lot of hatred, and many might loathe him intensely."

"Considering the current situation, his suggestion aims to minimize impact on you, which isn’t unreasonable, right?"

At this moment.

Luo Fei remained composed.

He was also rational.

But Zhao Mengyao couldn’t help but sigh.

"Mr. Luo, I know my words might sound petty, but from my own viewpoint."

"I feel he still holds a grudge over this, otherwise he wouldn’t have made such harsh comments..."
