"Alright."
Aunt Tang stopped saying anything further and led them straight to the bedroom.
As soon as they entered, a bedside lamp flew towards them, whizzing straight past Lin Jie’s forehead.
Bam—
Amidst Aunt Tang’s scream, Luo Fei caught the bedside lamp steadily and placed it aside.
Lin Jie turned pale with fright; it was so sudden, he was nearly hit.
Aging yet remarkably noticeable, an elder was seated inside. Though not old, his white hair and weary appearance were unbearable to look at—a father who had lost his daughter sat gloomily within.
"Mr. Wu, hello, I am..."
"Get out!"
With a roar, Wu Gang staggered towards them while twisting his body, as if completely deranged.
Without a word, he grabbed Luo Fei’s collar and shook him violently, while others nearby attempted to help but were stopped.
An elder at this mont couldn’t cause any real harm.
Luo Fei allowed him to vent his grief and anguish.
After Wu Gang had torn at him for a while, he retreated to sit in a corner, pointing at everyone present and started cursing.
"Why didn’t you save my daughter, why didn’t you save her?"
"Wen Jing, it’s all their fault, they’re the ones who hard you!"
"Daddy’s here, don’t be afraid, Daddy will kill them all."
After hearing those words, Luo Fei shook his head and gestured for everyone to leave, and they returned to the living room together.
"Alas, truly sinful."
"First Wen Jing, then this poor old man."
As they spoke, Aunt Tang’s face was full of tears.
Luo Fei’s eyes remained exceptionally firm, for as soon as he entered, he had seen the dark aura over the other’s head, thick, ferocious, and blood-red, accompanied by a violent murderous intent.
"We won’t disturb you anymore."
After bidding farewell, Luo Fei led everyone downstairs.
"Leader, should we head back now? We didn’t gather any information on this trip, and from the looks of it, she doesn’t seem involved in this matter at all."
Zhang Wei said, and Lin Jie and others nodded in agreent.
Luo Fei’s gaze was cold and his tone was stiff.
"Xiaocheng, what does this Wu Gang usually like to do? Or where does he usually hang around?"
"This... it’s not in the files."
"Then what is his job?"
"He works at the Hongfa at Plant on Changling Road."
"at plant?"
Luo Fei’s gaze shifted sharply towards Changling Road.
"Let’s go, to the at plant!"
Thus, they hurried over imdiately.
The business at the at plant was ordinary today, with no custors at this hour. Inside, two young workers and a burly butcher brother, with a face full of flesh, were cleaning the chopping boards and arranging the trash underneath.
Seeing the police approach, all three imdiately stood at attention, looking a bit bewildered.
"Uh, officers... comrade, hello, who are you looking for?"
"Is your boss Wu Gang here?"
"My master, huh."
The butcher hesitantly scratched his head but answered seriously, "Recently the boss isn’t here."
"Apparently because the boss’s daughter committed suicide unexpectedly, so he’s been at ho, and we’ve been managing here."
"Hmm, we need to inspect here, please cooperate."
"Alright."
Luo Fei arranged for a few others to communicate outside with the staff while he went to check the back.
No sooner had he stepped into the warehouse than he was drawn by a strong sll of blood.
This wasn’t the usual sll of pig, cow, or sheep blood.
Since he had slled human blood not long ago, this scent had been locked in his mind.
Ready to be activated at any mont, ready to be awakened.
Following this scent, he walked inside to a deserted corner, where it was too clean.
Such cleanliness was instead sowhat eerie!
Luo Fei looked towards a dead-end below, pitch-black.
A layer of grease lay on the straight tile line, probably the accumulated animal bloodstains and flesh fat left there over ti.
As no one was around, he crouched down and scraped hard with his nails, drawing out a segnt of blackish greasy gri.
No matter how cleanly it’s wiped, the sll couldn’t be wrong.
No matter how deeply hidden, it wouldn’t escape his eyes.
He used a tissue to wipe and preserve the grease, then left with the others. On the way, they asked if he had found anything, but Luo Fei said nothing.
In his mind, he was already envisioning what might happen next and the possible scenes.
Returning to the team, Luo Fei imdiately handed the items to Xiaocheng.
"Send this to the lab, see what’s in these things, and scrutinize it closely, it’s very important."
Then he looked at the others.
"Quickly, head off, surround Aunt Tang’s house, closely monitor their movents, and check if Wu Gang is ntally stable."
"Huh?"
They were all a bit confused.
Back when they rushed over to check, the other party was already insane; even if sothing was wrong, it couldn’t have been acted out so convincingly.
Besides, they hurried back just now; going back again seed inappropriate.
"The timing is just right. Had you gone back to investigate earlier, it might have alerted them, but leaving in their gaze also draws attention."
"Now you go back for surveillance, I need to wait for the lab results."
The others complied accordingly.
Now, their trust in Luo Fei was imnse, often solving mysterious cases and providing solid evidence; the layers of intricacies commanded nothing but respect.
Luo Fei sat alone in the office, waiting.
He sifted his thoughts and speculations through his mind.
An hour later, the phone rang suddenly; it was Xiaocheng. He also sent over the data and examination results.
Luo Fei was thrilled and opened it to see that his previous assumptions were mostly correct.
Despite so discrepancies with current realities, the overall investigation direction was aligned!
"Alright, I’m on my way."
Simultaneously, Luo Fei issued work orders and task assignnts to the others, ensuring Wu Gang was controlled imdiately.
Evidence, clues of the cri, and causality were all within his grasp!
At four in the local afternoon.
Luo Fei arrived at their house with the examination report.
At this mont, Aunt Tang sat anxiously on the sofa, with Lin Jie and others standing beside her. Inside sat a silent Wu Gang.
Seeing Luo Fei arrived with sothing, Aunt Tang quickly went up to him.
"Officer, what’s this all about?"
Recognizing Luo Fei as the highest-ranking official among them, she wanted to know what exactly had happened.
Although seeing the other’s pale face, as if scared.
At this mont, Luo Fei had all the clues and a complete sequence of events, so he calmly shook his head at Aunt Tang.
"No need to hide anymore, Aunt Tang."
"We know the truth of this matter. So things, though regrettable, even as violence begets violence, co with consequences—they pay with their lives, and Mr. Wu has done what he thinks is right, but... it doesn’t an we won’t pursue it."
Aunt Tang stood stupefied.
Initially wanting to say more, but hesitating for a mont, she sat down listlessly to one side.
As he spoke, Luo Fei entered the room, and a few others hurried in, fearing another outburst.
Yet this ti, Wu Gang was unusually quiet.
Sitting like that from start to finish, his gaze vacant.
Seeing Wu Gang quietly sitting there, Luo Fei let out a soft sigh.
"I know what you’re waiting for. We’ve uncovered the thing you wanted to hide."
"If you don’t want to speak first, let begin, for there are things you don’t know, though you’re the child’s father, she had choices of her own; unfortunately, we can only see the outco of her choice."
"Let’s start from when Wu Wenjing and the boy nad Zhang Tao began studying together."
