Chapter 1444: Feigning Calm? Heartbroken and Agonized

That expression clearly showed some fatigue. And also a little uncertainty.

He just didn’t want his cousin to worry, so he pretended to be calm.

“Cousin, you’re safe, but what about those comrades who were with you? Did they come back?”

Upon hearing his cousin ask this.

The cousin remained silent for a moment before he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Cousin, although I don’t want to say this, unfortunately, they couldn’t make it through.”

This news caused the cousin to suddenly tremble all over.

“How could this happen?”

At this moment.

The cousin’s eyes widened.

Her beautiful eyes were full of grief and anguish.

Seeing her slightly agitated.

Yang Wen had to take a deep breath.

“Cousin, our escape this time was a life-and-death situation. In fact, none of us thought we would end the action plan so soon.”

Yang Wen said, taking a deep breath.

His face was full of complex emotions.

And he appeared somewhat embarrassed.

At this point, his expression also became somewhat odd.

Luo Fei also spoke.

“Yang Mei, you can’t blame your cousin for this. After all, in that environment, no one knows what will happen. Everyone’s mentality and thoughts might change to some extent. So we had no choice.”

Seeing the other party was trying hard to persuade herself.

Yang Mei also took a deep breath.

“Indeed, cousin, you being back is already the greatest luck for us.”

“I can’t even imagine what you’ve been through during this time.”

Seeing Yang Mei was somewhat conflicted.

The cousin also smiled to comfort her.

“Cousin, I’m already quite happy that you can understand me.”

“Speaking of which, I should thank Mr. Luo for taking such good care of you while I wasn’t around.”

The cousin’s words clearly held a deeper meaning.

This made Yang Mei’s face blush.

“Cousin, you’re being too kind. Mr. Luo and I are just used to working together on cases, which is why I was transferred to Changli City.”

Yang Mei said, feeling a little embarrassed.

And her face slightly reddened.

The expression was somewhat complex.

Only then did the cousin sigh in relief.

“Cousin, I’ve already explained my previous experiences to the local police station. And I hope to have more communication with you. So during this time, I might stay in Changli City. I just don’t know if you will welcome me or worry I’ll be the third wheel?”

Seeing the cousin look a bit expectant and also somewhat embarrassed.

Yang Mei quickly explained.

“Cousin, not at all, you’re overthinking.”

Yang Mei said, feeling a bit sheepish.

She even grinned.

And seeing her somewhat skeptical look.

Yang Wen finally sighed in relief.

“Anyway, cousin, as long as you’re okay with it.”

“Of course not, cousin, you’re thinking too much.”

Seeing the other party agree.

The expression at this point was noticeably complex.

Yang Mei also finally sighed in relief.

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei also said.

“Cousin, although you’ve returned safely, there’s still other work we need to do here. So we might have to wait until after work to catch up with you.”

Seeing the other party hesitated.

Speaking, seemingly afraid of causing concern.

Yang Wen quickly waved his hand.

“It’s fine. Go do what you need to do. I’ll take care of myself.”

Seeing Yang Wen agree.

Luo Fei also responded indifferently.

“Then I’ll head off first.”

Just as Luo Fei agreed.

Yang Mei also showed a somewhat complex expression.

“Mr. Luo, do you feel that after my cousin returned this time, something seems a bit different?”

Seeing Yang Mei was somewhat doubtful.

Her face showed slight complexity.

Luo Fei was also puzzled.

“Do you think so, Yang Mei? Why do you think this?”

Noticing the suspicious gaze.

Yang Mei also responded indifferently.

“Mr. Luo, I just have a bit of doubt.”

“It’s not a hundred percent certainty. Maybe it’s because my cousin has been through a lot recently, and that’s why he seems a bit different.”

Upon hearing Yang Mei’s guess.

Luo Fei also responded indifferently.

“Indeed.”

Bzz —

Just then.

Luo Fei’s phone rang.

Almost simultaneously, a familiar voice came through.

“Mr. Luo, are you busy?”

The voice on the other end seemed hesitant.

Luo Fei also chuckled.

“Deng Wen, did you encounter some trouble?”

“Mr. Luo, it’s like this. Recently, while conducting a DNA database comparison, we discovered something rather strange. So we hope you can help investigate this individual.”

Then.

Deng Wen sent over the person’s information.

When seeing this person’s relevant details.

Luo Fei couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Deng Wen, are you implying that this person might be the target we’ve been looking for all along?”

Luo Fei’s words made Deng Wen respond indifferently.

“Yes, Mr. Luo. Based on the DNA database comparison, his identity is likely the suspect we’re searching for.”

It turned out.

This matched database individual was the abbot of a local, nationally renowned temple with thriving incense offerings.

He could even be described as a highly respected monk.

But even such a highly respected person.

Was rumored to possibly be a suspect.

And potentially committed some atrocious acts.

“Mr. Luo, initially, many people thought it was just a rumor.”

“But later, after my investigation, I realized that this matter wasn’t as simple as it appeared.”
