"Mr. Luo is quite thorough in considering problems. What you said does make sense."
"Back to the main point, earlier, so of Zhao Ligang’s forr employees and others he had deceived have co forward on their own. They said they’re willing to provide the police with so clues."
Luo Fei’s intention was heard.
Su Jianfan was sowhat surprised.
"This is really new. Considering all the bad things Zhao Ligang did, people around him should hate him deeply. Most would avoid him like the plague."
"But now they’re willing to provide clues to the police? That’s quite unexpected."
Su Jianfan was a bit shocked and found it hard to believe.
But Luo Fei felt it was all within reason.
"That’s quite normal, right? After all, although these people might hate Zhao Ligang, they wouldn’t want to get involved in a murder case."
"They would certainly want to clear their own suspicions as quickly as possible and will make every effort to prove they’re not involved in the case. No matter how much they hate Zhao Ligang, they’ll look for various ways to protect themselves."
Luo Fei said this and handed a file to Su Jianfan.
"Zhao Mingjun, Zhao Ligang’s cousin, ten years younger than him. He initially did business with Zhao Ligang and was responsible for the sales departnt."
"Later, when Zhao Ligang got into trouble, he quickly disappeared."
"According to the concerned party, he actually resigned as soon as he discovered his cousin had issues, thoroughly distancing himself from him."
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s analysis,
Li Yu sneered coldly.
"It’s true, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Zhao Mingjun probably knows so of Zhao Ligang’s inside information, but just didn’t want to cause trouble for himself, so he chose to keep out of it and disappeared early, right?"
"That’s most likely the case."
While Luo Fei spoke,
he had already gotten out of the car.
Upon arriving at their destination with Li Yu,
a middle-aged man quickly walked over to greet them.
"Mr. Luo, Miss Li, hello to you both."
"It’s really an honor to et you. But I didn’t expect it to be under these circumstances. It’s a bit embarrassing."
Seeing that the other person looked a bit embarrassed,
he seed sowhat at a loss.
Luo Fei smiled and reassured him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I assu you have already heard about your cousin’s situation."
"We’ve co here to understand the situation, and we hope you won’t mind and won’t think we’re being botherso."
Seeing that Luo Fei was calm and composed,
he spoke with an even-toned deanor.
Zhao Mingjun waved his hand and said,
"Mr. Luo, you’re overthinking. I wouldn’t think that way. Besides, my cousin has caused trouble for many people over the years, so even if he really provoked soone and wound up in a life-threatening situation, it wouldn’t be surprising."
Zhao Mingjun spoke openly, apparently having quite a clear understanding of his cousin.
This sowhat surprised Luo Fei.
"It seems Mr. Zhao already knew. Your cousin tends to cause trouble?"
"Yes."
Zhao Mingjun signaled to his wife to pour tea for Luo Fei and the others.
Only then did he sit on the opposite side of the tea table.
"When my wife and I worked for him, I was responsible for managing business, my wife handled finances, and his mistress was the cashier."
"Back then, the two of us did a lot for him."
"His mistresses would often embezzle funds, even stealing money from the company. It was my wife and I who discovered it. But he never expressed any gratitude."
Zhao Mingjun said this and then stopped short, rubbing his temples.
Luo Fei realized,
that Zhao Ligang’s life experiences were quite rich.
So, it’s understandable he would cause trouble.
However, this also ans that the upcoming investigation might face many challenges.
Because Zhao Ligang’s social connections are intricate and complicated.
"Mr. Luo, not to hide it from you. Although we are cousins, people often say, if you don’t want to beco enemies with your relatives, don’t do business with them."
"So I discussed this with my husband long ago. I said if possible, we should keep our distance and stop associating with him."
"But my husband said, after all, he is our cousin. We have a decent relationship and they started the business together, so he didn’t mind risking it all for him."
Zhao Mingjun’s wife, Wang Cuii, sat beside him, arms crossed.
Slightly helpless,
Zhao Mingjun quickly apologized.
"I’m sorry Mr. Luo, my wife didn’t an to speak out of turn, I hope you don’t mind."
"It’s nothing, I’m just curious. Since you initially decided to stay by Zhao Ligang’s side, what happened afterward that made you want to part ways with him?"
"Did sothing significant happen?"
Luo Fei asked,
with a tone of anticipation.
Zhao Mingjun, of course, didn’t dare conceal anything.
"Mr. Luo, funnily enough,"
"It all started when one day, I received a court summons. It said that I had a debt of several hundred thousand yuan in so account and if not repaid, I might face legal actions."
"That’s when I realized. Zhao Ligang would do anything for money. He turned a blind eye nurous tis when his mistress stole company money to buy brand-na bags, costics, and jewelry."
"But he would pin such baseless accusations on my wife and . It was really disheartening."
Zhao Mingjun said,
as he took out the agreent signed by Zhao Ligang back then.
And the bank transfer receipts he gave to Zhao Mingjun.
Including the details of the passbook at the ti.
"Though he later repaid over 100,000 yuan, it was only just over 100,000. The vast majority of the money, my wife and I still paid for him."
"Also, to prevent any trouble afterward, to prevent settling scores, I specifically asked my wife to keep these pieces of evidence. Just in case he caused us trouble afterward."
Zhao Mingjun said with a bitter smile.
It was clear he was sowhat resigned.
Luo Fei nodded too.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you for speaking frankly and providing us with clues. It’s invaluable and extrely important for us. We really appreciate it."
Seeing Luo Fei bow deeply to him,
Zhao Mingjun felt a bit ashad.
"Mr. Luo, honestly, it’s a bit embarrassing; I don’t usually talk about these things."
"After all, it’s family disgrace. But since it’s already happened, there’s no need to hide or cover it up."
"Moreover, I genuinely believe. The conflict between us brothers isn’t sothing that can’t be talked about. I hope my brother and I won’t be misunderstood, and even more so, I don’t want to be considered a murderer. So I hope Mr. Luo sees it clearly."
When he saw that the other person was respectfully and actively apologizing,
Luo Fei quickly reassured him.
"Rest assured, Mr. Zhao, we would never wrongly accuse an innocent person. If you and your wife indeed did nothing wrong, we certainly wouldn’t mistake you for anything else."
Luo Fei’s words were calm,
his expression indifferent.
However, he also noticed,
the two seed to have more to say,
as if wanting to confide sothing but holding back.
"If you know anything substantial, please make sure to inform us in a tily fashion. If it can serve as a clue, it’s incredibly important to us."
Luo Fei’s tone was calm and steady.
Suddenly, the couple beca more nervous.
"Mr. Luo, if we say the following is 100% true, can you keep it confidential?"
Seeing that the two seed to want to confide, clearly having sothing to say,
Luo Fei was also intrigued.
