"Miss Tang, you shouldn't waver."
Luo Fei shook his head with a cold smile.
"This person's purpose is to make you doubt that your brother is not a good person, thus shaking your firm belief in looking for his whereabouts."
"He's trying to sow discord, hoping your relationship will crumble. But at the root, he's afraid. He's afraid you'll find your brother, or through Lotus Manor, uncover the truth of those years."
Luo Fei's analysis.
Made Tang Shiyu suddenly see the light.
The tears that originally filled her beautiful eyes now showed a hint of gratitude.
"So, does that an it was right for to secretly alert the police and have them block Lotus Manor, preventing others from entering?"
"Miss Tang, you're quite smart, and your intuition is correct. This case isn't as simple as it seems on the surface."
As Luo Fei spoke, he flipped through his phone.
He pulled out a news article from over ten years ago.
"Lotus Manor Contractor: Wang Chuan."
"In the late '90s, intensely practiced Qi Gong, even to the point of going astray."
"At that ti, scientists wrote papers and columns, making the developnt of human sixth sense an important topic."
"Taking advantage of this opportunity and trend, Wang Chuan developed the 'Prodigy Brain Nourishnt Oral Liquid' to make money. He even claid that children who took it long-term gained special abilities, what today's people refer to as superpowers."
After reading this news article.
A look of surprise flashed through Tang Shiyu's beautiful eyes.
"Officer Luo, are you implying that those deceased children are related to Wang Chuan's oral liquid scam?"
"Probably."
Since there is currently no solid evidence.
Luo Fei couldn't jump to conclusions.
"But based on what you've described, perhaps those preventing you from taking over Lotus Manor hope you won't look for your brother's whereabouts. They fear the events from those years at Lotus Manor will be exposed."
"As for those children, perhaps they couldn't acquire superpowers, were failures among the potential subjects, and hence were silenced."
Tang Shiyu suddenly covered her mouth after hearing this.
Her face turned sowhat pale.
Her ten fingertips, cold as ice.
"So, refusing that man was right?"
"Yes. If you promised him not to acquire Lotus Manor, they would have ti to destroy the exposed evidence before anyone reports it."
"Those dozen lives might end up suffering injustice. Miss Tang, you've truly done a great deed!"
Though she understood part of the story.
Tang Shiyu still felt uneasy.
"But if Officer Luo is telling the truth."
"How can we prove those children were killed by Wang Chuan and his cohorts?"
Luo Fei was noncommittal.
"You're right. If we can't prove a direct link between the deceased and the contractor, there's no way to file a case."
"Accusing them solely based on selling the oral liquid would give them a loophole."
"So, we must start with Zhang Chengfeng."
Luo Fei said as he got out of the car.
Intending to head straight for the air conditioner repair company.
But Tang Shiyu remained startled.
"But Officer Luo, if events transpired as you say, why didn't the parents of those children report the incident?"
"Information gaps and restrictions of the era."
Luo Fei understood all too well that back in the 2000s.
So disappearances couldn't be resolved even if reported.
Due to lack of information and the unavailability of the internet.
"Not to ntion, so of these children might have been orphans. Without parents, there would naturally be no one to seek justice for them."
"Now that you ntion it, these children are truly pitiful..."
Tang Shiyu said, her beautiful eyes dimming.
Luo Fei reminded her, though.
"Let's go, Miss Tang, get out of the car. As we investigate bit by bit, we might discover a clue."
"Hm."
She agreed, and a glint of light shone in her water-like eyes.
anwhile, Luo Fei dialed his colleague's number.
"Hello? Is this Su Jianfan?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei's question.
The person on the other end, Su Jianfan, promptly answered.
"Officer Luo, are you looking for ?"
"Set aside Cheng Bing's case for a mont and bring so people to the Lotus Restaurant for duty. It's best to have a few moving company workers inventory the items in the manor."
"We might discover clues there."
Luo Fei suddenly suggested.
Surprising Su Jianfan.
"Understood. But the manor is quite large; even with a moving company, wouldn't it cost quite a bit?"
"No problem, we planned to refurbish the manor anyway. I'll cover the few thousand yuan this costs."
Tang Shiyu agreed swiftly.
Su Jianfan then smiled.
"Alright, I will cover this cost upfront and later get a reimbursent from Brother Luo."
"Okay, go ahead."
With the phone hung up.
Luo Fei and Tang Shiyu arrived at the repair company's entrance.
But before they could step inside.
The manager had already co out first.
"Are you here for the case from this morning? Two policen already visited."
Looking at his obese appearance.
Sweating profusely.
His face full of embarrassnt.
Luo Fei solemnly said.
"Manager, we're not here for the previous case, but for another one."
The manager initially breathed a small sigh of relief.
But after hearing Luo Fei was there for another case.
He beca sowhat angry.
"But officer, are you implying our air conditioner repair company doesn't have good people?"
"If this continues, we'll have to invite journalists! Our business can't continue!"
The manager felt deflated.
His originally plump face now seed like a bullied child.
Luo Fei had to console him.
"Manager, we an no harm. We just wish to understand more so as to quickly solve the case."
He said and gestured toward Tang Shiyu.
"Do you know who she is?"
"Who is she? I truly don't know."
The other party grinned awkwardly.
Luo Fei had to elaborate.
"She is the daughter of the local Shengshi Real Estate Developnt Group, and also the current CEO."
"Ah, from Shengshi Real Estate Company. Hello, hello, I apologize for not welcoming you sooner."
The manager instantly changed his deanor.
Tang Shiyu wasn't surprised.
However, she did not expect.
Luo Fei would use her as a stepping stone.
"It's okay. We suspect soone previously assisting Miss Tang in repairing the air-conditioning unit secretly entered her office intending misconduct. We are concerned they might try sothing similar, so that's why we're here to talk."
"Confirming if the worker who repaired the air conditioning unit at the ti is the perpetrator."
Luo Fei's analysis.
Made the manager suddenly realize.
"I understand now, Captain Luo. Does that an the person is very likely the culprit?"
"Exactly, which is why we need your cooperation to see if that repairman is the robber we're looking for."
Luo Fei's analysis.
The manager had to nod.
"I understand, Officer Luo. I'll have HR investigate this person."
The manager knew recently in An Yuan Province, Cheng Bing's case was a significant issue.
So if the perpetrators of these two cases are indeed their company's employees.
The impact on this repair company would be considerable.
"Manager Wang, to facilitate eting him."
"Call him later and say we're looking to have him help fix the air-conditioning unit. But since the location is far, we want to et him at the company first."
"Okay."
A short while later.
As Luo Fei and Tang Shiyu waited in the reception room.
A man wearing worn-out gray-blue work clothes, carrying a toolbox, appeared.
"Manager Wang, are you looking for ?"
But at the mont he appeared.
Luo Fei felt disappointed.
Because he wasn't Wang Eryong.
Not to ntion, his height was much taller than Wang Eryong.
Even his accent was different.
But at the instant he saw Tang Shiyu.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"Manager, what's the reason you've called here?"
