Looking at Bai Ergou's pale face, he appeared extrely apprehensive.
Luo Fei, however, kept a stern expression.
"Mr. Bai, if I were you, I wouldn't hide anything any longer. Say whatever you know, and if we can protect you, we will certainly do so without hesitation."
"Otherwise, if you knowingly withhold information, not only will you obstruct the police investigation, but you might also end up like Zhang Chengfeng, being victimized."
Luo Fei's tone was somber.
Bai Ergou shuddered all over.
"Brother Zhang was hard? How is that possible?"
Bai Ergou truly hadn't expected it.
Zhang Chengfeng was gone.
Because the one who originally asked him to take good care of Song ilan was Zhang Chengfeng himself.
Upon hearing this news.
Luo Fei thought he had misheard.
"Bai Ergou, are you serious? Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Leader Luo, I've already been caught here by you, how could I possibly lie?"
Bai Ergou looked distressed.
After his explanation, Luo Fei finally understood.
It turned out that Zhang Chengfeng had long been dissatisfied with his wife at ho, feeling that she was too fierce.
Her temper was genuinely bad.
However, he couldn't directly propose a divorce, which is why he ca up with such a lousy idea.
"Brother Zhang said he'd first have develop a relationship with Song ilan. He'd give an allowance every month. Once everything was in place, he planned to publicly expose the affair between Song ilan and , staging a setup to force Song ilan into a divorce."
Initially, Bai Ergou was a bit worried.
Afraid his plan would be seen through by Song ilan.
That he might be sent to the police station for fraud.
But later, as Zhang Chengfeng couldn't be contacted.
Bai Ergou gradually let his guard down.
"Initially, I only wanted the money. Now, even though the plan hasn't continued, I still receive a monthly allowance of five thousand without doing anything."
"So, in the end, this matter was left unresolved."
Bai Ergou felt sowhat embarrassed.
But Luo Fei also realized.
This guy, like Song ilan.
Was driven by greed, indifferent to Zhang Chengfeng's life or death.
However, Luo Fei was still unwilling to give up easily; he absolutely didn't want to miss any clues.
"Mr. Bai, when you last t with Zhang Chengfeng, did he ntion why he wanted to get rid of Song ilan?"
Luo Fei understood well.
"n with wealth turn bad," even though it's a stereotype.
Facing a fierce wife like Song ilan, a vibrant tigress.
No matter how good-tempered a man is, he wouldn't be able to endure it.
Zhang Chengfeng never divorced before; having such a thought now ans sothing happened, giving him the courage and capital to divorce.
"Leader Luo, speaking of which, Brother Zhang ntioned that if he could succeed by following Boss Yang, there would be plenty of benefits for ."
"He'd give money, ten tis what he's giving now. But when I asked him how he earned his money, what thod he used to earn it, he refused to answer, saying these matters were confidential and couldn't be casually disclosed to outsiders."
Bai Ergou felt a bit ashad.
But in Luo Fei's mind, he already had a rough idea.
"I see. It seems Zhang Chengfeng had already decided to leave with He Jinhui and the others, to go far away and enjoy life with the money they earned."
"But unexpectedly, a dispute over the division of spoils occurred, and he was murdered midway. After all, with one less person, the remaining fortune would all belong to Boss Yang."
After clarifying his thoughts, Luo Fei first let Bai Ergou leave.
At the sa ti, he instructed him.
"Mr. Bai, although we t this ti and I understood the full story, it doesn't an all your suspicions are cleared."
"So my suggestion is, don't leave this city hastily during this period. Otherwise, you might be suspected of fleeing in fear of prosecution."
Luo Fei's words made the other party tremble sowhat.
"Rest assured, Leader Luo, I promise I won't wander. I'll stay put right here in the city."
But after drafting the report.
Luo Fei also noticed.
Han Tiesheng was silent the whole ti nearby.
Su Jianfan was organizing and backing up data and information on the computer.
"Hey, what are you thinking?"
Hearing Luo Fei's reminder.
Han Tiesheng finally spoke.
"Leader Luo, I was just pondering. Despite both Song ilan and Zhang Chengfeng having their sches, Zhang Chengfeng's monthly wages were only a few thousand. If they suddenly tripled or quadrupled, wouldn't Song ilan be a bit suspicious?"
Han Tiesheng's aning was clear to Luo Fei.
He thought.
If Zhang Chengfeng's wife was so smart.
If she found out her husband made it big, she wouldn't just settle for a small share of the money.
She'd certainly be insatiable.
"That assumption is reasonable and aligns with Song ilan's character."
"But under the great allure of benefits, people often subconsciously comfort themselves, continually dismissing inner doubts to further justify their windfall gains."
Luo Fei reviewed the previous report.
He also knew.
When Zhang Chengfeng t with Bai Ergou.
There were a few instructors around him.
Even Bai Ergou nearly beca an instructor at the training class initially.
But he was frail and sickly, not as strong as so students, so he was not selected.
"Let's go, Old Han, let's visit Flower Town. Maybe we'll discover so clues."
Luo Fei knew not every case ca with abundant clues, nor could every clue only be uncovered through deduction.
Sotis, it required the most primitive, cumberso thods to fully investigate the truth.
Ring, ring!
Just as Luo Fei got into the car.
His phone rang.
Answering it with a listen.
It was a call from Bai Ergou.
"What's up?"
Luo Fei's tone was cool.
He roughly guessed the other party was trying to provide him with a lead.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so hesitant when leaving the police station just now.
Hesitant to speak.
"Leader Luo, actually I wanted to ask, have you ever tried the fried chicken from a fast food restaurant here?"
"Fried chicken?"
Luo Fei's mouth twitched slightly.
But the next second.
Bai Ergou lowered his voice and said.
"Yes, Leader Luo, you might not know, this fast food restaurant's fried chicken is very delicious, quite tasty..."
Bai Ergou deliberately paused here.
"If you have a chance, you must try it!!"
After hanging up the phone.
Old Han by his side also asked.
"Leader Luo, hasn't Bai Ergou's hint been obvious enough?"
"Yes, it seems from what he implies, there might be so clues at the fried chicken shop?"
"Let's go!"
Luo Fei said as he signaled Old Han to drive towards the address Bai Ergou ntioned.
Monts later.
As the three arrived at the entrance of the fried chicken shop.
The shop owner ca out to greet them.
"Hello, officers. It's already past noon; you must be hungry. Our fried chicken is quite the specialty locally, you must try it."
Just as the owner ca out, Su Jianfan sensed a strong feeling of incongruity.
Because he was clearly a muscular practitioner.
With dark skin, indicating frequent exercise.
Yet wearing a rather small apron.
Speaking in a gentle manner, utterly contrasting with his appearance.
"Boss, you used to learn martial arts, right?"
Su Jianfan's words almost slipped out.
This made the owner's smile freeze montarily.
But in the next instant.
He pulled the curtains and flipped the sign on the shop door to "closed."
"Officers, I know you're here to investigate Huang Weibo's case. And if I'm not wrong, young Bo isn't around anymore, right?"
The owner said, sowhat dejected.
Luo Fei was a bit surprised.
"Boss, how do you know about Huang Weibo?"
"Officer, to be honest, I used to be an instructor at that school. My na is Song Wentao."
The owner's sudden confession took Luo Fei by surprise.
