Outside the interrogation room, Luo Fei furrowed his brows, as he had already considered this possibility before.
Although all clues currently pointed to Zeng Tianming, they indeed had no concrete evidence to prove that Zeng Tianming killed his own son.
To convict Zeng Tianming, unless there was a witness who saw him kill Zeng Xiaoguang, the possibility of finding such a witness couldn’t be said to be non-existent, but the probability was very low.
At nine in the evening, the criminal police team held an ergency eting in the conference room.
"Everyone, you’ve all seen the interrogation process of Zeng Tianming just now, and Zeng Tianming stubbornly denies killing Zeng Xiaoguang. Everyone, think about it; what ways might we have to get Zeng Tianming to confess?" Zhao Donglai said, holding his head in frustration.
"We can conduct a large-scale inquiry among the villagers near Dragon Beard Creek to see if any villagers saw Zeng Tianming appear near Dragon Beard Creek that day," Yang Su considered and answered.
The others didn’t have any particularly good ideas.
Luo Fei thought for a while and said, "Captain Zhao, could it be possible? Since Zeng Tianming was capable of killing his own son to commit insurance fraud—even if there were elents of being blackmailed or pressured—it does indicate one thing: Zeng Tianming didn’t like this child very much. Otherwise, if a father truly liked his son, I believe Zeng Tianming would have had countless ways to co up with fifty thousand.
"So it can be said that in Zeng Tianming’s eyes, his son’s life was even less important than his own reputation. It shows how little this son mattered to Zeng Tianming; he might not just dislike him, he might even hate him."
"If Zeng Tianming really had these feelings of disgust and coupled with being extorted, which led him to kill his biological son, there must be a reason. I think we can start investigating from this angle; we might discover so useful clues."
After Luo Fei finished speaking, Zhao Donglai’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, "That’s right. If a father really liked his child, he wouldn’t be driven to kill his own son, especially since Zeng Tianming was only being blackmailed for fifty thousand, which doesn’t equate to being at the end of the road. For him to be so heartless and kill his own son, he most likely truly hated this son."
"Is that really possible?"
"Not only is it possible, I think the likelihood is quite high."
The others in the criminal police team also nodded one after another.
After the ergency eting concluded, Zhao Donglai arranged the tasks, and then finally off work.
When he got ho, Wu Yan had set aside the al for Luo Fei, while Luo Hao and Luo Xiaoxiao were doing howork in their rooms.
Although Luo Fei had eaten at the police station, to be honest, the food there really wasn’t to his taste, so he only ate a little, and was already starving by then.
Wu Yan prepared so homade stir-fried dishes, but they were exceptionally delicious.
While eating, Wu Yan started nagging Luo Fei again, complaining about the dangers of being a detective and the hardship of their job.
After Luo Fei finished his al.
Luo Fei checked on Luo Xiaoxiao and Luo Hao.
Luo Xiaoxiao was indeed studying diligently, but Luo Hao appeared to be studying while secretly reading a novel on his phone.
Luo Fei imdiately sternly warned Luo Hao and confiscated his phone, as he was being too irresponsible.
"Detective Story: Fusing Police Dog’s Scent Gene at the Start," it was clearly a mindless pleasure novel, yet Luo Hao was engrossed in it.
When they returned to work the next day, Luo Fei and Wang Lei left the criminal police team.
Before long, they arrived at the power bureau, where they found Li Dawei eating stead buns.
"Officers, why are you here again? Didn’t you ask just yesterday? You’re affecting my work with this, and it’s putting a lot of ntal pressure on ," Li Dawei complained as soon as they t.
"It won’t take long; it’ll only delay you a bit," Luo Fei replied.
"Alright, alright, just be quick, I’m about to start work," Li Dawei urged.
Luo Fei: "How long have you known Zeng Tianming?"
Li Dawei: "Over twenty years, we t in high school."
Luo Fei: "What about Zeng Tianming’s wife Wang Wenying? Do you know when Zeng Tianming t Wang Wenying?"
Li Dawei: "We t in high school; all three of us were in the sa class then."
Luo Fei: "Were Zeng Tianming and Wang Wenying together in high school?"
Li Dawei: "No, during high school Wang Wenying was with Kang Jian, at the ti Tianming had an unrequited crush on Wang Wenying."
Luo Fei: "When did Zeng Tianming and Wang Wenying get together?"
Li Dawei: "They got together when they graduated from college. Wang Wenying attended Jiangbei University, Kang Jian went to a university out of the province, and Tianming also attended Jiangbei University for Wang Wenying. In their senior year, Wang Wenying and Kang Jian broke up for so unknown reason, and after the breakup, Wang Wenying got together with Tianming, and they got married shortly after graduation."
Luo Fei: "Did Zeng Tianming really like Wang Wenying?"
Li Dawei: "He liked her very much, you could even say he loved her. For Wang Wenying, Tianming could do anything."
Luo Fei: "If Zeng Tianming liked Wang Wenying so much, why did he often go to bars and such places?"
Li Dawei: "I actually don’t know either. I asked Tianming about it, but he never told , he just said I wouldn’t understand."
Luo Fei: "Did Wang Wenying know Zeng Tianming went to those kinds of places?"
Li Dawei: "Wang Wenying probably knew because many tis when Wang Wenying called, Tianming was at a bar, but I don’t know why Wang Wenying didn’t seem to do much about it."
Luo Fei: "How do you think Wang Wenying and Zeng Tianming’s married life was?"
Li Dawei: "There’s a sense of mutual respect as guests; they don’t often show affection in front of others."
Luo Fei: "How did Zeng Tianming treat his son?"
Li Dawei hesitated for a mont and then said, "Not bad."
Luo Fei replied sternly, "This is very serious, you need to answer honestly."
Li Dawei: "Tianming was okay with the child, but when he was with Xiaoguang, it didn’t feel like a father-son relationship. Xiaoguang wasn’t very close to Tianming either."
After asking enough questions, Luo Fei suddenly thought of sothing else and asked, "Oh, and what about Kang Jian? Where did he go after graduation?"
Li Dawei shook his head, "I don’t know. He seed to have gone to a coastal city; since graduation, I’ve only seen him once at a class reunion."
Leaving the power bureau
"Turns out you were right, Luo Fei, Zeng Tianming indeed doesn’t seem to like his son that much," Wang Lei said excitedly, as the investigation had new findings. Wang Lei then asked doubtfully, "But if Zeng Tianming liked Wang Wenying so much, why wouldn’t he like the son they had together?"
Luo Fei pondered for a mont and responded, "There’s definitely a problem here, but we might only find out the reason by asking those involved."
