Chapter 1287 - 637: High Priority? Thorough Investigation? (Part 2)

"Are you truly without any grudges against him, or are you just trying to cover up the truth?"

Luo Fei asked this with utmost seriousness.

But the few present could hear the hint in his words.

"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this?"

"Yes, even if we had some conflicts and friction with him, they were just trivial matters. There’s really no need to resort to such cruel acts."

Seeing everyone exchanging glances.

Luo Fei also felt somewhat helpless.

But almost simultaneously.

He had already noticed.

At this moment, in the corner, Zhao Kuanlin’s assistant remained silent, her eyes evasive, as if she had some unspeakable secret.

This immediately piqued Luo Fei’s curiosity.

"Young lady, do you have something you want to say?"

Seeing Luo Fei somewhat curious.

The young girl hurriedly explained.

"Officer, there’s nothing like that. I just feel that my boss is a good person, always approachable and rarely causes trouble. So I never expected he would encounter such a situation. It’s really heartbreaking."

The young girl spoke with slight hesitation.

And looking at her dark eyes, there was a hint of puzzlement.

Her expression was somewhat complex.

Luo Fei suddenly sneered.

"Little girl, stop pretending."

Hearing Luo Fei say this.

The young girl was a bit startled.

"No, officer, what am I pretending about?"

But seeing that the other party was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting him to say that.

Luo Fei spoke earnestly.

"Girl, isn’t this just common sense? Generally, in such situations, it’s often because of discord between an assistant and their boss, or Zhao Kuanlin wanting to have something extramarital with you, which triggered your dissatisfaction. This led to you doing something terrifying. Am I wrong?"

Luo Fei spoke earnestly, even convincingly.

But the girl was almost at the point of tears.

"Officer, there’s absolutely nothing like that. I absolutely couldn’t do such a heinous thing to my boss; this is complete defamation!"

Seeing the other party very agitated, her face full of bewilderment.

She seemed very helpless.

Luo Fei spoke sternly.

"Miss, if you haven’t had anything with Zhao Kuanlin, then you should be honest with the police. Clarify why you are so apprehensive. What exactly happened that made you so uneasy?"

Seeing Luo Fei looking at her seriously.

His tone carried a hint of confusion and puzzlement.

The girl had to take a deep breath and patiently said.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I’ve seen Zhao Kuanlin arguing with his wife before."

"But I’m not sure if this is the fuse, so I’m hesitant to jump to conclusions."

The girl spoke with a sense of hesitation.

Her expression seemed somewhat complex.

Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"Miss, are you sure about what you’ve seen? You need to know that this case is complicated and significant. Any negligence or mistake is absolutely unacceptable."

Luo Fei spoke, his face growing stern.

The girl confirmed earnestly.

"Mr. Luo, I certainly wouldn’t dare to lie about such things."

"Moreover, it was the morning before Zhao Kuanlin was killed. When he came to the company, he even greeted me. But as soon as he sat in the office, he argued with his wife. It seemed to be about a taxi his wife bought, which broke down when passing a suburban area due to flooding; it couldn’t be repaired, and she planned to buy another. This started their conflict."

Hearing the girl’s words, Manager Song, standing nearby, also spoke.

"Mr. Luo, I can attest to this, because his wife came to the company the day before yesterday asking if I could promote or give a raise to Zhao Kuanlin."

"But I said he was just promoted to be my deputy two months ago. If he continues to be promoted, it might provoke dissatisfaction among colleagues in a short time."

Manager Song’s analysis made Luo Fei realize, "Is that so?"

"Yes, Mr. Luo. Later, I learned that his wife came to find me without his consent. At the time, I was puzzled, but later I understood. It turns out his wife is a strong woman, and she feels that she if doesn’t work well, she’ll drag her husband down. Plus, they have two children to care for, so they need to work hard. But they didn’t expect to encounter such a thing..."

Manager Song spoke with some embarrassment.

Luo Fei nodded.

"Manager Song, I understand the situation now."

"Thank you for providing the information."

Assistant Chen Yingying, standing nearby, quickly expressed gratitude.

"Manager Song, thank you very much. After all, if it weren’t for you, I might have been considered a murderer."

Seeing Chen Yingying sincerely giving thanks.

Manager Song spoke sternly.

"Chen Yingying, I said these things not to help you, but for the company. Besides, I believe you would never do such horrific things."

While Manager Song talked.

Luo Fei had already dialed the taxi company.

"Hello, I need to check the license plate number for Zhang Haina, and if she previously worked as a taxi driver at your company."

As the call connected.

A cold female voice quickly came from the other end.

"Hello, officer. At that time, Mrs. Zhang did work at our company, and to save costs, she chose to lease the company car to operate."

"And due to the heavy rain, her car broke down in the flood. Plus, it was a second-hand car, so our platform only deducted the car inspection fee and nothing extra, promising that if she could get a new car within half a month, it wouldn’t count as a breach, and there wouldn’t be extra fines."

Hearing this news.

Luo Fei also realized that Manager Song’s testimony was likely truthful.

This made Luo Fei nod.

"I understand."

As the call ended.

The female assistant also spoke.

"Mr. Luo, I haven’t lied to you, have I?"

"Every word I said is true."

But hearing this.

Luo Fei smiled and shook his head.

"But even so, it can’t prove you aren’t involved with Zhao Kuanlin inappropriately. So next, I will need to talk to each of you individually, to prevent collusion. So please, one by one, come to the meeting room to talk to me."

"And those who’ve been spoken to can’t communicate with the others who haven’t been. For this, I’ll need the deputy director’s assistance."

Hearing Luo Fei’s proposal.

Lu Sihai, standing nearby, remained noncommittal.

"Mr. Luo, rest assured, I’ll handle this matter."

Lu Sihai spoke with confidence.

As everyone else left the room.

Luo Fei looked at the young girl standing by.

"Little girl, be honest with me. Does Mr. Song have a conflict with Zhao Kuanlin?"

"Mr. Luo, why do you ask that?"

Despite the girl’s hesitant expression.

Luo Fei was very clear.

He knew he was correct.

The girl’s reaction had already confirmed his suspicion.

"Young lady, you just promised, no lying. So what’s happening here? You better answer truthfully."

Seeing Luo Fei looking earnestly at her.

The girl had to take a deep breath.

Patiently spoke.

"Mr. Luo, you’re right."

Seeing the other party agree.

Luo Fei felt slightly relieved.

"Why? Do you know? Is there some hidden story?"

At this moment.

Seeing Luo Fei looking at her in bewilderment.

The girl patiently explained.

"Mr. Luo, I can tell you the full story. But you must promise to keep it confidential and not let a third person know I told you."

"No problem. I can talk to the others first and leave Manager Song until the end."
