Chapter 1457: Utterly Shocked? Trembling with Fear_2

Luo Fei spoke in an icy tone.

“I already know everything, sir. You can stop pretending. I’ve basically reconstructed what happened. And I’m very clear on one thing: you’re not as innocent as you’re trying to make yourself out to be.”

Luo Fei’s words instantly threw the man into a panic.

But in reality, from the very beginning, Luo Fei had no evidence.

He was simply using psychological tactics.

What he said was meant to make the other side feel that he already had a large amount of key evidence in his hands.

This made the man hold his breath, tense all over.

He could only sigh and say,

“Officer, to tell you the truth, my ex‑wife did remind me from the side just now, told me not to get too nervous, not to lose my composure. But I understand, she was frightened, and it was because of what that man did that she couldn’t take it anymore. That’s why she begged me to do this. So strictly speaking, this isn’t really her fault.”

Yet the man sounded very sincere, and when he said this he was calm and composed.

Luo Fei, however, spoke solemnly.

“Sir, even though I don’t really want to put it this way, the facts show that she did in fact make demands of you.”

“So she’s actually an accomplice. Not to mention, when it comes to her own wrongdoing, she refuses to admit it no matter what, even tried to cover it up. Isn’t that so?”

Luo Fei posed the question like this.

It made the man’s heart jolt.

“That’s not true, Mr. Luo, I can guarantee you, there’s absolutely no such thing!”

The man looked a bit ashamed.

Luo Fei took the report Deng Wen handed over.

And said, in all seriousness,

“Sir, we just obtained a hotel check‑in report. The people who checked in at that time were none other than your ex‑wife and the deceased, Jiang Qiweng.”

“If she wasn’t involved in this, then why was she mixed up with you? Also, we just received the autopsy report. Guess what we found in it?”

The man was highly alert; Luo Fei’s tone at this moment was low and eerie.

The man’s whole body trembled.

“No, that’s impossible. Officer, I was the only one who actually did the killing. My ex‑wife didn’t do anything. She was just standing at the door keeping watch for me, and then she went downstairs to the supermarket to buy some necessities.”

The man got to this point.

Luo Fei exchanged a look with Su Jianfan.

Both their expressions clearly turned a little subtle.

It was precisely this reaction that made the man suddenly realize what was going on.

He was utterly shocked.

“No, Officer, this is really not what you think. She didn’t!”

Even though he kept wailing and protesting,

Luo Fei still used his phone to send this video to Li Yu.

He had her show it to the ex‑wife at home.

The moment she saw the look of sheer panic and unease on his face on the screen, the woman finally realized that the paper could no longer wrap the fire.

She was already left with nowhere to hide.

Thinking this through, she was filled with remorse.

“Officer, I really had no other choice. It was that bastard Jiang Qiweng. When he saw that I still seemed to be in contact with my ex‑husband, he got very upset.”

“I told him that man had always been secretly tailing me, digging into every single person who wanted to get involved with me. What could I do? But he just wouldn’t listen. I really had no way out.”

Hearing her say this,

Luo Fei kept a stern face.

“Ma’am, even if that’s the case, it still doesn’t justify you committing crimes. In the end, it was because you had murder in your heart that you did this, wasn’t it?”

His words left the woman deflated.

Though depressed inside, she still kept a straight face on the surface.

“Officer, I know I did wrong. I wronged Jiang Qiweng. But I don’t regret it, because he forced me into this. If it hadn’t been for him, I would never have done something like this.”

She was clearly in a tight spot, yet she remained utterly firm.

She seemed to feel she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Luo Fei responded earnestly,

“Ma’am, since that’s how it is, then come down to the station now.”

“We’ll do our best to handle this case as a voluntary surrender.”

Luo Fei wasn’t sympathizing with her.

It was just that under the circumstances, even if she turned herself in, she could still be charged with first‑degree murder.

So even with a voluntary surrender, the odds were very much against her.

Thinking of this,

Luo Fei’s face grew heavy.

Almost at the same time,

Luo Fei saw that there was already a transport van parked by the side lot outside the Major Crimes Unit office.

Then several people got out of the vehicle.

“Mr. Luo, we’ve caught those three.”

It turned out that, just moments earlier, a few officers had already tracked down the real culprits behind the murder of Yang Guolin’s family.

They made a full confession to their crimes.

“Mr. Luo, according to these men, they really did commit unspeakably brutal acts before. We honestly didn’t expect them to be this twisted.”

From the questioning,

Luo Fei learned that

the group led by Sun Guangzu

had actually shown up when Yang Guolin’s family was about to celebrate Mid‑Autumn Festival, and when nephews and nieces from the relatives’ side came over with gifts.

It was the first time they’d seen three relatives show up together.

They were worried that there were only three of them, while there were three people in Yang Guolin’s household.

The other side had the numbers.

They might not be able to overpower them.

So they held off.

Only after those three relatives left did they go to Yang Guolin’s house and knock on the door.

But what they never expected was that in the middle of their attack,

Yang Guolin’s nephew and niece showed up with gifts to bring good wishes to the family.

The two kids were terrified out of their wits.

They didn’t even have time to run before they were dragged back and killed inside the house as well.

“Mr. Luo, this really is the worst case we’ve had in a long time. I honestly never imagined anyone could do something this inhuman.”

The other officer looked stunned, almost unable to believe his own ears.

Luo Fei gave no direct comment.

“Indeed, just thinking about what they did is horrifying. I’ve truly had my eyes opened—first time I’ve known something this monstrous could happen.”

The other officer still looked stunned, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.

Su Jianfan took a deep breath.

“Yeah, Mr. Luo, say nothing of the rest, these three are vicious to the core. Not only do they love playing mahjong, they’re always stirring up trouble. They even ran up debts of several million from online betting before. So strictly speaking—”

“We’ve actually done them a favor now.”

Hearing that,

Luo Fei couldn’t help but knit his brows.

“That really does sound absurd.”

“But at least we’ve caught the perpetrators. This way I can also apply to the higher‑ups for a reward bonus.”

As he was speaking, his cousin Yang Wen called.

“Mr. Luo, this time around, things really would’ve been a mess without you.”

“I never expected my cousin to be so invested in my business, and with you helping on the side as well. It honestly makes me feel a bit bad.”

Yang Wen sounded a bit embarrassed.

Luo Fei replied patiently,

“Cousin, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. We all know how hard things have been for you along the way. So if we can help you now, we’re all glad to.”

His words made the other man even more self‑conscious.

“Mr. Luo, whatever the case, the fact that you could step in this time is the biggest help you could give us.”

His tone was full of sincerity.

Luo Fei smiled lightly.

“Cousin, we’re family. If anything comes up in the future, just say it straight. No need to hide it.”

What he said warmed the other man’s heart.

In that moment, his cousin was deeply moved.

Seeing how serious he was,

Luo Fei still remained calm.

“Cousin, I’ve still got cases to handle here, so I’ll have to hang up first. I hope you don’t mind.”

Hearing this, his cousin agreed repeatedly.

“Mr. Luo, then I’ll really have to trouble you with this matter.”
