"Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Wang."
Luo Fei said as he and Zhou Fan walked in, and at this mont, Wang Jiafeng was dressed in pajamas, likely ready to rest.
After entering the house, Luo Fei glanced around. This gentleman’s ho decor was quite tasteful, the style exquisite; evidently, he’s soone who appreciates refined living.
"It’s alright, Officer Luo. Are you here about Zhang Tai?"
"Yes."
Luo Fei nodded, while he and Zhou Fan focused on the other person’s expression, as one’s deanor in such monts can reveal a lot, at least indicating the relationship between the two.
But when Luo Fei looked at the person, he was startled.
A black aura above his head, a sinister mist, leaving him nowhere to hide under Luo Fei’s gaze.
This guy is actually the murderer?
Even though Luo Fei was incredibly shocked internally, he was still trying to restrain himself.
The one called Wang Jiafeng actually killed Zhang Tai? How did he do it? There was no one in or out in the hotel room surveillance; how did he commit the murder?
Luo Fei wanted to know the reason!
But at the mont, without any testimony or evidence, abruptly arresting soone would certainly be inappropriate, so he had to forcibly suppress the shock inside.
"Mr. Wang, we’d like to first understand your relationship with the victim, Zhang Tai..."
Wang Jiafeng paused, a touch of desolation appeared in his eyes, mixed with a sense of loss intertwined with solitude.
"We are... brothers."
"Oh, I see. We noticed your contact was pinned on his phone, and there were no chat records, which is why we ca to ask if you could tell us about his situation."
Wang Jiafeng nodded.
"Officer Luo, what would you like to know?"
"How much did you know about Zhang Tai?"
"We were university classmates. After graduation, we separated due to work reasons, and we were quite far apart. But due to a subsequent work transfer, he ca over here, and that’s how we started to reconnect."
"He was a nice person, always this way with his brothers and friends. During our university days, I knew he had a good character, so we often hung out, drinking together."
Listening to what was said, Zhou Fan felt quite emotional.
Indeed brotherhood stands apart; the perspective contrasts with relationships with the opposite sex, starting from different points.
anwhile, Luo Fei kept staring at the other’s eyes.
As brothers, the emotional twist seed odd—what was the motive for the murder? No emotional fluctuations could be discerned.
Especially given the description as rather close brothers; this made it even stranger.
"Mr. Wang, since your relationship runs deep, did you know about his preferences..."
"SM, right? Yes, I’m aware."
"It’s a preference of his, and he had a peculiar penchant for it. To not hide it from the officers, it’s sothing known by quite a few of our college friends."
A thunderous boom resonated in Zhou Fan’s mind.
Rarely has he been so flabbergasted.
Although he’d heard about so people publicizing such fetishes, even boasting and sharing them widely.
Yet he hadn’t expected this to actually happen so close by!
And it’s precisely related to the case he’s handling!
"Uh, openly discussed with everyone?"
Zhou Fan couldn’t help but ask again.
"Of course, not to such an exaggerated extent, but he would at least reveal a bit to close friends. Though Zhang Tai’s nature was outgoing, indifferent to gender distinctions."
"Tch."
Even so, Zhou Fan remained stunned, feeling he’d opened his eyes this ti.
No wonder Zhang Tai’s circle was so fixed; such preferences make breaking through and extending outward quite challenging.
Luo Fei sorted his thoughts and posed a crucial question.
"When was the last ti you talked with him?"
"Quite a while ago. We typically only chat when eting up; on the phone, due to work commitnts, we seldom align."
The truth of those words was not sothing Luo Fei could judge.
After all, in today’s society, maintaining friendships without phone conversations is indeed difficult... unless it’s a deeply rooted friendship that speaks volus without words!
But if that’s genuinely the case, why did his reaction to Zhang Tai’s death seem even less than Angie’s?
Was it just a shallow friendship, or did he, as the murderer, already know about it?
Zhou Fan sensed the atmosphere was deadlocked, hence he quickly introduced the next question.
"Did you know your brother had a girlfriend arranged by his family?"
At these words, it was as if a fuse was ignited, instantly provoking a strong emotional response from the other person.
Even Luo Fei was startled.
Wang Jiafeng’s eyes suddenly ignited with fury, giving a terrifying and grim impression.
When discussing Zhang Tai’s past, there was no such exaggeration.
Upon ntioning Angie, it’s as if touching his weakness.
This reaction was truly peculiar!
Their relationship couldn’t actually be clandestine, could it...
Perhaps realizing his lapse, Wang Jiafeng forced himself to calm down and composed his emotions.
"I’m aware."
"She was arranged by his father, who also wanted him to settle down early, but he didn’t like it. Angie is a good girl, at least no issues with her... unfortunately, they were destined to be incompatible."
Luo Fei and Zhou Fan exchanged glances.
Many previous words were hard to interpret, but this one seed sincerely heartfelt.
