Chapter 1406: Shaking Like a Leaf? Destroying Evidence and Concealing the Crime

Chapter 1406: Chapter 697: Shaking Like a Leaf? Destroying Evidence and Concealing the Crime

At this moment.

Sun Zhiwei’s face really went deathly pale, shaking like a leaf.

Because it had never crossed his mind that something like this would happen.

And looking at them, he was utterly stunned.

He could hardly believe his own ears.

He felt like he just couldn’t digest what he was hearing.

Luo Fei, on the other hand, was unnervingly calm.

“Mr. Sun, if I were you, I wouldn’t get so worked up. When you overact, you have to bear the consequences. You might very well be identified as a suspect in the case.”

Hearing Luo Fei’s words.

Sun Zhiwei almost laughed from sheer anger.

“No, Mr. Luo, you must be joking. How could I possibly? I absolutely haven’t done anything like that.”

“And I can promise you, I would never do anything against the law or discipline!”

But no matter how Sun Zhiwei tried to explain.

Right now he was still a suspect.

After a while.

When Luo Fei and his team arrived at the site.

They saw Deng Wen in the middle of processing the scene.

“Mr. Luo, just now the owner of the recycling depot noticed something was wrong. And he found human bones mixed in with the charred firewood.”

“From the bone age and the clothing on the victim, it appears to be Wang Derong’s wife, who went missing before.”

As Deng Wen said this.

Luo Fei swept his gaze over the incomplete corpse lying before them.

Then he spoke with firm conviction.

“No. This body shouldn’t have much to do with Mr. Sun.”

The fact that Luo Fei sounded so sure.

Actually left Deng Wen a bit taken aback.

“Mr. Luo, what are you basing that judgment on?”

“Very simple. When I went to Sun Zhiwei’s home just now, I noticed they had a fireplace installed. According to what the nanny told us on the phone, that fireplace of his is purely decorative. It’s never once been used up to now.”

As Luo Fei spoke, he added for Deng Wen.

“Also, the situation at Sun Bowen’s home is about the same. They both have underfloor heating installed, and on top of that, a fireplace is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. That’s why I came to this conclusion.”

Luo Fei’s words made Deng Wen suddenly see the light.

“So that’s how it is?”

Seeing Deng Wen’s surprise.

Luo Fei went on.

“So my guess is that someone deliberately killed Liu Cuilian, then shifted the blame onto Sun Zhiwei, trying to make him take the fall.”

Luo Fei’s words made Deng Wen nod slightly.

“Hearing it that way, what you say does make sense, Mr. Luo.”

Deng Wen said this in all seriousness.

But very quickly, she also noticed.

Wang Derong, standing not far away, was completely shattered.

Crying hysterically.

This made Deng Wen and Luo Fei exchange a look.

“Mr. Luo, is that what you’re thinking too?”

“Indeed, his performance is a bit over the top.”

Luo Fei said, then strode over to Wang Derong.

“Mr. Wang, what exactly is going on here?”

Seeing Luo Fei walk up quickly to him.

Wang Derong froze for a moment.

“Mr. Luo, what do you mean by that? What do you mean ‘what’s going on’? I don’t understand at all.”

Seeing Wang Derong’s puzzlement.

Luo Fei’s expression turned extremely stern.

“Mr. Wang, are you still planning to play dumb? Are you intending not to admit what you’ve done wrong?”

“Or are you planning to wait until we find the physical evidence before we expose your crime of destroying the corpse and wiping out the traces?”

When Luo Fei said this, Wang Derong already started to panic.

“No, officer, I don’t know anything about this!”

“I really didn’t do anything!”

But at that point.

Luo Fei took out his phone and started searching.

“Mr. Wang, there are only two businesses near your home that sell firewood and charcoal. If you’ve bought any, do you really think I wouldn’t be able to find out?”

Originally, Wang Derong still wanted to play tricks, even refuse to admit the crime he’d committed.

But since Luo Fei had already said this much.

He could only take a deep breath and say.

“Officer, I admit it was me. But it’s not all my fault. It was all Liu Cuilian’s doing! She pushed me too far. I just couldn’t swallow it, that’s why I did something so impulsive.”

Seeing his rigid expression, anger practically written on his face.

Luo Fei couldn’t help being curious.

“Is that so? Then why don’t you tell us just how excessive she was, that you came to hate her so much you even went as far as destroying her body?”

As Luo Fei said this.

Wang Derong drew a deep breath, as if trying to calm his rage.

Only then did he begin to explain.

“Officer, at first I also asked her if she was really doing this of her own will, whether she was being forced. But she actually told me that since I was busy with work every day and never had any time, what she was doing could make money and help me keep my job—she said it was the best of both worlds.”

“She even couldn’t help mocking me, saying I wasn’t capable enough, which was why I hadn’t been promoted or gotten a raise. As for our family member’s death, she blamed that on me too, saying it was all my fault.”

Facing him, seeing him somewhat ashamed.

But when he said this, he was still seething.

Obviously, his wife’s earlier words had gone to his head.

That was why he’d done something so outrageous.

Luo Fei exchanged a look with Li Yu beside him.

At that moment, he finally understood.

It turned out that Wang Derong wasn’t just a failure in his career, with a green hat on his head; he also had a wife who blamed and humiliated him.

That pushed him into a rage of shame, and in the end he did something utterly unforgivable.

“But Mr. Luo, even though I know what I did is inexcusable, if I can report and expose other people, can I get a lighter sentence for that?”
