Chapter 1408 - 698: Silent or Sudden Turn

Three days later.

Luo Fei was in the office reviewing documents.

At dusk.

He heard someone calling him.

He looked over in response to the voice.

It was Li Yu and Lan Mengzhou who came.

"Any progress?"

Luo Fei asked without lifting his head.

Li Yu sighed with slight frustration.

"Mr. Luo, it would be great if we had any discoveries."

"Yes, these past few days we’ve been live streaming and visiting people, hoping to gather some information. We’re trying to find some evidence to catch the true mastermind. But from what we can see so far, it’s really difficult. We’ve even made special calls to several people to inquire about the situation."

"But most people have chosen to remain silent."

Upon hearing this.

Luo Fei was enlightened.

"So that’s how it is."

But seeing the two somewhat anxious.

Luo Fei remained fairly calm.

He simply told the two of them.

"I understand your concerns. But situations like this are unavoidable."

"After all, sometimes investigations can be quite monotonous. We can’t rush things; otherwise, no matter how tangled we get, it won’t help."

Just as Luo Fei was talking.

Outside the door, Old Han and Cai Junfeng entered the office together.

"Mr. Luo, our publicity department received a sack full of handwritten letters from two people. And they were sent from the local prison."

"Really?"

Luo Fei had encountered such things before.

Ultimately, it’s just some people with connections hoping for lenient punishment for their family.

But when he got hold of the handwritten letters, seeing the crooked handwriting.

He immediately realized.

This matter was not simple.

"What’s going on?"

And after briefly reviewing the letters’ content.

Luo Fei realized.

These two so-called suspects might have been deliberately framed.

Old Han and Cai Junfeng also said.

"Mr. Luo, this case dates back ten years. There was indeed a woman selling snacks from a street stall. Her stall was deliberately vandalized, and she was verbally abused by the culprit."

"Not long after, this woman’s son had a car accident. She herself was kidnapped while taking a taxi home one night. What’s fatal is that the forensic assessment at the time indicated that the person responsible for her son’s death and the taxi driver were the very uncle and nephew now in prison."

Turns out.

Old Han and Cai Junfeng realized.

The mastermind behind the incident remains at large.

Instead, this uncle and nephew became scapegoats for the real murderer.

Thinking of this.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but frown.

"All along, isn’t this obvious framing?"

"Yes, but Mr. Luo, we still don’t know who orchestrated this crime. Which prevents our investigation from advancing. Without new suspects, it’s difficult for these two to make an appeal."

Seeing Cai Junfeng and the others somewhat perplexed.

Luo Fei said.

"Gentlemen, don’t worry too much. After all, having hope and leads is better than no clues at all, isn’t it?"

Luo Fei’s reminder left the two somewhat speechless.

"Mr. Luo has a point."

"However, this case we’re reopening is a very old one. The investigation is quite challenging, likely requiring a lot of time. So Old Han and I hope you can allow us to take on this case investigation. That way, your time won’t be overly occupied."

Seeing their sincerity.

They were clearly ambitious and full of fighting spirit.

And decided to help in the investigation.

Luo Fei also smiled.

"Old Han, weren’t you pretty laid-back before? Why are you so proactive in this investigation now?"

Upon hearing Luo Fei ask this.

Old Han and Cai Junfeng exchanged a glance.

"Mr. Luo, you didn’t know?"

"Yes, during the provincial meeting earlier, Guan Songhu made special mention of you at the commending ceremony. He praised your staff’s accomplishments in solving the case and awarded our major crime unit a 50,000 yuan bonus."

"In addition, he mentioned how you brought Lan Mengzhou for study exchanges and encouraged her to live stream and make videos, which indeed drew significant attention and raised public self-defense awareness. He genuinely praised this and hoped we keep it up. Continue to make progress."

Upon hearing this news.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Really? But looking at it this way, isn’t this good news?"

"Why are you worried? Did Guan Songhu assign you some other exceptionally challenging tasks?"

Seeing Luo Fei puzzled.

The two hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Luo, not at all. It’s just that Director Guan said he hopes everyone learns from you, making sure to perform well."

"He also mentioned he hopes everyone achieves something, not always leaving the accomplishments to Mr. Luo alone."

Turns out, Han Tiesheng and the others listened to Director Guan’s words.

Thinking they should also achieve something.

Which led to their slight perplexity.

They genuinely hoped.

To achieve something themselves.

To avoid always being used as a negative example by Director Guan during large meetings.

But hearing this.

Luo Fei simply laughed and shook his head.

"Gentlemen, aren’t you worrying a bit too much?"
