Chapter 1307 - 647: From Pretend to Real? Revealing Clues (Part 2)

But Luo Fei explained.

"Ms. Zhang, I’m not talking about you snoring. It’s about your husband. Think carefully, apart from insomnia, has he shown any other unusual behavior?"

Luo Fei’s question made Zhang Li hesitate.

"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I’ve always noticed. Ever since my husband had dinner with Bai Jingye last month, he’s been absent-minded. I was curious about what was going on."

"But whenever I ask, he gets impatient and says I, as a woman, shouldn’t ask too much. It’s like I’m hindering his business."

It turns out Zhang Li didn’t inquire much about her husband’s business before.

So she didn’t pay much attention to Bai Jingye either, merely considering him as a long-time business partner of her husband.

"So about Bai Jingye, you don’t know anything? Haven’t you heard your husband say anything problematic about him? Ms. Zhang, I’m warning you, if you don’t tell us the details, in case you face trouble or even a life-threatening situation, we can’t save you immediately."

At that moment, Luo Fei was genuinely a bit impatient.

Because he could tell this woman was deliberately evading.

And Zhang Li seemed a bit shocked.

She remained noncommittal.

"Officer, what’s the point of lying to you? Every word I said is true. Moreover, my husband has mentioned before that this Bai fellow is not honest, and he’s worried that if I get involved with him, Bai might have ill intentions toward me."

But noticing Zhang Li’s concern.

She seemed a bit shy, as if embarrassed to speak such words.

Luo Fei was truly a bit perplexed by her words.

After all, the woman in front of him wasn’t particularly attractive.

She was one of those middle-aged women, losing her charm, with a somewhat plump figure.

Even if Bai Jingye were flirtatious, it’s unlikely he’d have any inappropriate thoughts about her.

Just when Luo Fei felt that this case seemed to have no leads and couldn’t continue the investigation.

A police car stopped nearby.

"Hello ma’am, are you the wife of the deceased Chen Wenping?"

As three or four policemen quickly approached.

They also looked at Zhang Li with some caution.

And noting her curiosity directed at them.

Zhang Li remained noncommittal.

"Yes, everyone, but why are you looking for me?"

Noticing her confusion, seemingly baffled as to why they were looking for her.

The group quickly explained.

"Ma’am, your husband is suspected of telecom fraud and illegal fundraising. However, he has encountered problems now, so we need to talk to you. We hope you will actively cooperate with the investigation and provide some clues."

Upon hearing this news.

The woman widened her eyes, barely able to believe her ears.

"What, my husband, what did he do?!"

At that moment.

Her voice was raised by eight degrees.

Her whole demeanor exploded.

And the policemen sincerely responded.

"Ma’am, please calm down. We’ve received a report saying your husband borrowed money from his employees and promised to invest it, offering regular interest payments. But now, over two years have passed, and the original investors haven’t received a penny. They reported to the police, hoping Chen Wenping could offer an explanation."

Upon hearing them speak.

Zhang Li’s face changed immediately, and she was infuriated.

"This is simply outrageous, that damned scoundrel, how could he do such things behind my back? Didn’t he think about the trouble he’d cause for the family?"

At that moment, Zhang Li was truly serious.

She completely didn’t understand her husband’s behavior.

Almost turning into a different person from who she was moments before.

Showing no signs of grief from losing her husband.

But even though she thought this way, Luo Fei still quickly approached and questioned the policemen from the local precinct.

"Everyone, where did you get this information from?"

"Could the informant have had a grudge against Boss Chen, deliberately framing him, just to retaliate against Boss Chen?"

Luo Fei’s words not only surprised the policemen.

Even Li Yu didn’t expect Luo Fei to speak up for Boss Chen at this moment.

"Officer, which precinct are you from? We don’t seem to have met before."

Almost simultaneously.

The lead officer from the local precinct glanced at Luo Fei, puzzled.

Luo Fei had to introduce himself.

"Everyone, I’m Luo Fei, the head of the major crimes unit. I’m investigating a case currently, just happened to pass by here, and Boss Chen is directly related to the deceased we’re investigating. So I’m wondering if he had any enemies that led to his suicide."

Luo Fei’s words suddenly enlightened the others.

"Oh, so you’re Mr. Luo?"

"We’ve heard so much about you, finally meeting you today. Sorry, we didn’t mean to question you, just didn’t expect you’d be investigating this case."

Seeing their surprise, as if they hadn’t anticipated his involvement.

Luo Fei quickly reassured them.

"Everyone, I’m currently investigating Chen Wenping’s case."

"And I also want to know if the informant had a grudge against him, so I inquired. I hope I didn’t cause you any trouble?"

"Not at all, Mr. Luo. Your curiosity indicates this case is important. We’re willing to offer you clues, hoping they can assist you."

Upon hearing their agreement.

Luo Fei smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thank you all very much."

As Luo Fei prepared to leave with the informant’s address.

Li Yu finally understood that Luo Fei wasn’t speaking up for Boss Chen intentionally. He had his own considerations and wanted to gather more clues through discussions with other knowledgeable individuals.

This instantly made Li Yu admire him.

"Mr. Luo, you really know how to handle things."

But seeing Luo Fei and his team leave.

Zhang Li became anxious.

"Officer, are you leaving just like that? My husband’s matter hasn’t reached a conclusion. Aren’t you going to continue following up?"

Seeing Zhang Li shocked, seemingly unexpected that he would stop midway.

Luo Fei retorted.

"Ma’am, you should speak based on evidence. We’re under broad daylight with people around. When did I say I wouldn’t handle this case?"

In typical circumstances, Luo Fei would actually leave, not bothering further.

But this time it was different.

Since there were so many people watching.

Luo Fei had to ensure he was transparent enough.

Not to give rise to gossip.

"Besides, ma’am, I’ve already asked you. Do you know if your husband offended anyone? Yet you refused to say. You claim you don’t know anything. Even if I want to help you investigate, I can’t do anything?"

Luo Fei’s statement.

Many bystanders echoed.

"Exactly, this lady is really strange."

"It’s bizarre, she admits she doesn’t understand her husband’s work. But now when the police want to investigate other matters, she hinders them, she’s really peculiar."

Listening to the crowd’s discussion.

The woman felt embarrassed.

But externally she remained unfazed.

"Officer, I’m not blaming you. I’m just uncertain if that strange person I encountered before is related to my husband’s suicide."

The woman said, handing her phone to Luo Fei.

And informed him that the suspicious person was the one with the unknown caller ID.
