Chapter 965 - 476: Duty-Bound? Bizarre Death (2)
Luo Fei smiled somewhat calmly.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
But Luo Fei seriously added.
"Su Jianfan, things are not as simple as you think. After all, I’ve had suspicions from the start. Song Yulan’s desire to divorce might very well be due to a conflict of interests with her husband. So, since you would eventually find out, it’s better I tell you now."
Noticing that the other seemed hesitant to speak.
Su Jianfan understood.
Luo Fei hoped he would mentally prepare in advance.
Because soon.
The results he would encounter.
Might be something he couldn’t accept.
Upon realizing this.
Su Jianfan instantly felt his heart racing.
Yet, this also made Lin Zimo change her view of Su Jianfan to some extent.
Because she initially envied Su Jianfan.
Though adopted, he had both parents who treated him well.
But now.
She could only feel regret.
"Master Su, from a certain perspective, you seem to share the same plight as me now."
This time.
Su Jianfan did not refute her for the first time.
Because he knew.
Lin Zimo was right.
Just like her, he too was kept in the dark by family.
However, at least Jin Hongwen secretly protected Lin Zimo.
While his own leader always treated him like a puppet.
Almost simultaneously.
Luo Fei’s phone rang.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve already enrolled the kids in the one-on-one training class."
"But we’ve already been waiting for over an hour, and the teacher still hasn’t arrived. Do you think our activities have been exposed, so the other side won’t take the bait?"
Hearing Su Manying’s lowered, anxious voice.
Luo Fei was about to reassure her.
Then he heard the sound of sirens coming from the other end of the phone.
"Mr. Luo, the police have arrived at the training class."
"Did you dispatch them?"
"No, I wasn’t even ready to deploy action."
Luo Fei’s answer surprised Su Manying.
"Mr. Luo, could it be that someone got ahead of us and already cleared up this case?"
"That’s impossible."
Before Luo Fei finished.
A deep male voice sounded beside Su Manying.
"May I ask, is that Mr. Luo on the phone?"
Seeing Lan Gang appear before her.
His expression was extremely solemn.
Su Manying felt her heart pounding.
"Chief Lan, what’s going on here?"
As Luo Fei voiced the questions in his mind.
Lan Gang patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, just now, we received a call."
"The owner of this training class was found hanged and dead at home. And his death is extremely peculiar. It feels as if someone deliberately wanted to retaliate against him."
Lan Gang’s explanation finally enlightened Luo Fei.
"So, the training class’s owner was the one who had an incident?"
Hearing Luo Fei ask this.
Lan Gang neither agreed nor denied.
"Mr. Luo, you heard correctly."
"That’s the report we just received. I also felt this case was very strange, so I came to the training class to take a look, and saw Ms. Su."
"So I surmise, the training class’s owner, Yang Mingquan, is the person you’ve been diligently investigating?"
Upon hearing Lan Gang’s analysis.
Luo Fei’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
"Chief Lan, we need further verification on that point."
"But the focus now is, someone seems to be following the police investigation route, methodically finding some criminal suspects, and using their own means to deal with them?"
Luo Fei’s rhetorical question.
Left Lan Gang neither agreeing nor denying.
"Mr. Luo is correct."
"Although some people previously committed crimes and indeed deserve death. Including the shareholders and managers of this training school. Knowing about Yang Mingquan’s death, they confessed their past actions and are willing to compensate the victims’ families."
"But essentially, this is not legitimate methods; it’s abuse of private justice. And this kind of situation is absolutely not permitted by the police."
After hearing the other party’s analysis.
Luo Fei nodded.
"Yes, Chief Lan, you’re right."
"Who knows his fundamental purpose for doing this, or perhaps the other just considers themselves a justice executor, acting out of line, who knows who will be the next victim?"
Saying this, Luo Fei immediately decided.
To go to the scene to check the situation.
Li Yu and Yang Mei also rose almost simultaneously.
Preparing to go on-site with Luo Fei.
minutes later.
As Luo Fei and others arrived in an area of villas in the suburbs.
Just at the gate.
They saw conspicuous yellow caution tape.
Along with flashing police lights.
Outside the villa surrounded by caution tape.
A crowd of onlookers gathered.
"I never expected the owner of this villa to be such a vile person."
"What he did is unforgivable!"
"This guy is so detestable, death suits him!"
...
Hearing the crowd’s comments.
After wearing gloves on both hands.
Luo Fei entered the scene.
Upon reaching the living room, he saw.
Deng Wen and the new intern forensic doctor Huang Shanshan had already started the body examination.
"Hello Mr. Luo, I’m Huang Shanshan. The new forensic assistant."
Upon hearing the introduction.
Luo Fei nodded.
"How’s it going, Forensic Doctor Deng, any key clues?"
Seeing Luo Fei was somewhat curious.
His face present with calm composure.
Deng Wen sighed.
"Mr. Luo, frankly, this is the first time I’ve seen such a body. I must say, the perpetrator’s method is extremely cruel."
As the top half of the blue waterproof cloth flipped aside.
A corpse was presented before Luo Fei.
The deceased was thin but muscular.
Bulging eyes, tongue extended long, face livid.
Clearly strangled to death.
Even the usual gold-rimmed glasses dropped not far from the feet.
"The deceased is male, weighs around 70kg, about 170cm in height, around 45 years of age. Cause of death is asphyxiation."
"And judging by the bruises on the arms and the scratches on the feet, the deceased must have struggled intensely before death, later moved from outside to inside."
"From the state of decay and livor mortis patterns, the deceased has been dead for about 70 hours."
...
After hearing the analysis.
Luo Fei asked.
"In your judgment, where do you think the first crime scene is located?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s question.
Deng Wen patiently explained.
"Mr. Luo, I’ve already instructed the evidence team to photograph the backyard. Judging by some clues they found."
"Yang Mingquan was playing basketball in his backyard when struck from behind on the head, leading to unconsciousness. He was then hung on the basketball hoop and strangled to death."
But upon hearing Deng Wen’s analysis.
Luo Fei was somewhat baffled.
"But if he wasn’t unconscious initially, wouldn’t he have called for help? Was nobody aware until he asphyxiated?"
Luo Fei scanned the area, it was a three-story villa.
Yang Mingquan lived alone; it was improbable not to have a maid or cleaning staff.
But Deng Wen told him.
"Mr. Luo, we’ve already asked the estate center of this villa area. According to staff there, Yang Mingquan always lived under an alias, cautious even in outings. Even with cleaning staff work transitions, he left it to his assistant."
"He typically ensured no strangers were home when he was."
After hearing Deng Wen’s analysis.
Luo Fei helplessly shook his head.
"It seems, Yang Mingquan was clever yet outsmarted himself."
"He practically caused his own demise."
Though saying this, Luo Fei already made a preliminary judgment, roughly targeting the suspect’s identity.
