"Alright, then I won’t disturb you."
After standing up, Luo Fei suddenly glanced at Angie, feeling that there were places she hadn’t told him about.
This was an intuition when solving a case!
Though he couldn’t pinpoint what was strange, he clearly sensed that she hadn’t finished talking—not due to intentional concealnt, but because she felt it unnecessary.
"Ms. An, do you have anything else you want to tell us?"
"If you do, I hope you can truthfully disclose it. It will be good for both Zhang Tai and you, and it might help find the truth of his case."
Angie thought for a mont, and finally shook her head.
"Nothing else, officer."
"If I think of anything, I will surely tell you truthfully."
Hearing her say that, Luo Fei couldn’t demand any further, and then left with Zhou Fan.
This walk-through investigation of clues temporarily ca to an end.
Having visited two parties knowledgeable about the situation and inspected the scene, he needed a place to calm down and digest the clues gathered this ti.
Back at the office, Zhou Fan first returned to the dormitory, leaving Luo Fei alone.
Since the investigation wasn’t over yet, so key evidence hadn’t been returned to the family.
This included that mobile phone which had been decrypted.
Luo Fei believed there must be overlooked clues inside, hidden in the chat records.
Zhang Tai, a person like this, couldn’t have acted flawlessly.
He must have hidden his little secrets. If the secrets were erased and cleaned, they would surely leave traces.
Up until now, Luo Fei couldn’t guarantee if his parents and Angie had told him the truth.
Perhaps they had shared so true parts but hadn’t revealed the entire truth.
"Let see what else you want to tell ..."
Luo Fei picked up the phone again, opened the chat records, and started scrolling from the beginning. Apart from so important content, he directly skipped over other parts.
After roughly browsing through them, there seed to be nothing special.
Apparently, soone deliberately deleted parts of it, but this was rely his intuition.
Luo Fei checked repeatedly, still failing to grasp the idea.
Why would a person like this commit suicide in such a bizarre manner? Since Angie didn’t have the habit of SM or coordinate with him, how did he bind himself up?
Who helped him?
Was the mysterious person assisting him the mastermind who ultimately killed him?
After much contemplation, Luo Fei opened a ntal narrow gap.
Whenever his reasoning was blocked, he would force himself to calm down using this thod, consolidating all clues, and forcibly focus his attention, letting the brain operate at high load for analysis.
At this mont, all surrounding sounds disappeared.
The footsteps of people in the corridor and the rustling sound of wind blowing branches outside the window all quieted down.
Luo Fei was enveloped by a mysterious space, as if placed within an inch, confronting the inverted Zhang Tai.
The bizarre posture of the opponent suspended before him, and the harmonious smile in the photo...
This environnt of dialoguing with the dead was oppressively suffocating, yet to achieve the answers and locate flaws from him, Luo Fei had to accept the current feelings.
Did he die with unresolved regrets? No, he was smiling before his death.
Then he must have been heartbroken! But if love never started, how could he be heartbroken?
No, he didn’t love Angie, but that doesn’t an he didn’t love soone else.
The outburst and developnt of this SM nature couldn’t happen without external assistance; it required at least a recognized partner to play together for this ga to work.
Yes, there must be a third party, the one who confined Zhang Tai’s innermost feelings.
A third party! That’s right, it’s not about ntal infidelity, but Zhang Tai has always cherished another person.
This could explain why he maintained this hobby and kept a fixed circle.
"That’s right, it must be like this."
Without saying more, Luo Fei rushed towards the dormitory building.
Within the dormitory, Zhou Fan was cooking noodles, just about to take a bite when suddenly the door behind him burst open directly.
Poof—
This sudden scare nearly sent him away...
"Jeesh, who is it!"
Perplexed, Zhou Fan turned around to see Luo Fei staring at him excitedly. Having spent a considerable ti together, the two had developed a tacit understanding, and he instantaneously realized that the other’s certainly found a clue.
"Have you found it?"
"Found it!"
"Does it have direct relevance to the case?"
"Yes, direct relevance!"
Upon hearing what was said, Zhou Fan couldn’t sit still either, imdiately pulling Luo Fei into the room, gesturing for him to speak quickly.
Luo Fei swiftly recounted his reasoning, and Zhou Fan listened with eyes shining brightly—it made so much sense!
This aspect he hadn’t indeed thought of.
All along he just considered Zhang Tai to be a regular SM enthusiast.
Now, thinking about it, no one’s stipulated that such an inclination must be nurtured with one’s so-called partner; if another person was secretly having a close relationship with him, both’s interaction would inevitably occupy the core of emotional life! That’s the concept of a third party!
"Now we need to try to identify this hidden third party."
Zhou Fan excitedly grabbed the other’s phone.
But soon he displayed a frustrated expression.
"Ah, tough, his parents previously ntioned that he had almost no friends outside the childhood and work circle, even categorizing his activity range."
"Such a person, if truly harboring soone privately, would definitely go to great lengths to hide them."
Luo Fei shook his head.
"Not necessarily, if this third party is significant to him, not wanting to ruin the relationship, Zhang Tai would definitely keep the contact in the chat list or his phone."
After saying this, he imdiately started searching.
While the previous search yielded no clues, this ti, he had to seriously inspect.
Zhou Fan also checked alongside, suddenly discovering sothing special.
That is, Zhang Tai’s chat records had six pinneds at the top.
Apart from two work groups, a boss, and parents, there was an individual!
The individual’s note regarded him as a friend, nad Wang Jiafeng.
This was a special person who wasn’t in his work circle or his childhood friend circle, completely independent.
Both seed to have an extraordinary relationship...
Yet Zhou Fan found an intriguing place.
"Old Luo, look, Wang Jiafeng’s chat box is empty, do the two not talk?"
"If they don’t talk, why pin it on top?"
For a mont, Luo Fei also sank into thought.
As the saying goes—friendship between gentlen is as light as water, if two have a good relationship, there must exist significant ntal esteem, hence not chatting can be understood.
Regarding their camaraderie, Luo Fei also couldn’t say anything.
The identity of this Wang Jiafeng was questionable, marked for investigation necessity, but specifics require probing.
"Could this guy be related to Angie, a love triangle, it’s just too lodramatic."
The maze of ethics was opening at this mont, complex plots were being patched continuously by the two, ticulously terrifying and hard to accept.
Because of one guess from Zhou Fan, Luo Fei’s mind almost got burnt.
Assuming Wang Jiafeng liked Angie!
Angie liked Zhang Tai!
And yet Zhang Tai had Wang Jiafeng as a pinned top chat buddy while Angie, the gender match arranged by the family, didn’t get such status.
Thus ensued tragedy and disaster, so who the killer is?
Luo Fei suddenly felt utter chaos, entwined conflicts; instead of passively waiting, better to actively proceed—investigate what needs to be analyzed, visit where required.
"Wang Jiafeng, judging from the note, should be a good friend of his, perhaps t outside, in any case, their closeness is undeniable, perhaps we can et them."
"Makes sense!"
Thus, the two imdiately contacted the other party, arranged to et at their ho.
While heading there, Luo Fei still had doubts about this matter, the inner concerns grew increasingly heavy—if all this was due to the third party’s existence causing variables, it ant Zhang Tai’s parents and Angie were concealing sothing.
Why would they hide things from him? Could there really be unspeakable secrets?
By the ti Luo Fei and the others arrived, it was already nearing evening.
"Mr. Wang, hello, we’re here to gather so information."
"Officer Luo, Officer Zhou, please co in..."
While speaking, a thin, small man opened the door.
