Originally.

Sister Liu had previously thought about settling accounts with the Bai family.

But her husband said.

At least a few years ago, when they had money, Mr. Bai treated them well.

Including when they couldn't afford social security due to poverty, over a hundred thousand for the two of them, Mr. Bai paid it for them.

Including when the driver was short on money, he often borrowed from Mr. Bai.

As for the later unpaid wages, it was indeed because Mr. Bai encountered difficulties.

"At that time, we all thought this person surnamed Bai was dead. So we planned to let it go. After all, you can't collect debts from a dead person."

"But now, he's not only appeared on his own but also caused my husband's death. So of course, I can't let it go."

Hearing this, Luo Fei nodded.

"Sister Liu, I understand what you mean. Thank you for actively cooperating with the police investigation."

As Luo Fei spoke, he turned to start investigating the case according to Sister Liu's provided clues.

But Li Yu, who was beside them.

Found some suspicious points.

"Mr. Luo, didn't you notice that this sister is acting very strangely?"

"You noticed too?"

Luo Fei asked calmly and unperturbedly.

At this moment.

Li Yu suddenly realized.

"Oh, so you also feel something's off, Mr. Luo?"

"Yes, this sister says one moment her husband killed out of passion for revenge. Then she says her husband had planned to let Mr. Bai go, which is totally contradictory."

"This sister is most probably hiding something intentionally, just not telling us."

Hearing Luo Fei say this while shaking his head.

Li Yu was even more confused.

"Mr. Luo, I'm even more confused now. Since you've spotted the inconsistency, why not detain her?"

"Rattle the grass to startle the snake? No need. We can first follow the clues she mentioned. If we find anything or many suspicions, it won't be too late to trouble her."

Ring ring ring!

Almost simultaneously.

Luo Fei received a call from Bai Rongjun.

"Mr. Luo, just now, we checked through the high-speed rail service system. Chen Meihong booked a flight ticket. It looks like she's really planning to escape!"

Ding dong!

Soon, Bai Rongjun sent the ticket screenshot over.

And because the ticket was under real-name registration,

It couldn't be faked.

So Luo Fei clearly saw,

This ticket.

Was indeed specially booked by Chen Meihong.

"Mr. Luo, I've already confirmed with the airline; this ticket was booked by Chen Meihong earlier today. Doesn't this show she's planning to flee from guilt?"

"I think it's because she saw my father and mother planning to reconcile, and they were never divorced. So she felt she had no future and decided to go for broke."

"Planning to take this chance to get rid of my father? To avoid being criticized as a mistress and end up with nothing?"

Hearing Bai Rongjun's somewhat excited tone.

But the feeling was confident, almost as if he was 100% sure Chen Meihong was the culprit.

Even wishing to tear the other party to pieces.

Luo Fei also lowered his voice.

"Mr. Bai, solving a case isn't something you can decide impulsively. We need more evidence."

"For example, we need to check her house and confirm if there's enough evidence to prove her motive before concluding."

Before Luo Fei could finish his sentence.

His phone vibrated.

...

"Mr. Luo? Are you still listening?"

After staring at the phone screen for a few seconds.

Luo Fei told Bai Rongjun.

"Mr. Bai, some colleagues in charge of on-site investigation found more evidence just now."

"If possible, I need to handle the case first, and if we find more clues or suspicions later, I'll contact you immediately to discuss."

Hearing Luo Fei's words.

Bai Rongjun nodded repeatedly and said.

"I understand, Mr. Luo, thank you very much."

"Please be sure to find out the truth and bring the person who caused my mother's death to justice."

As the call ended.

Li Yu also asked a bit puzzledly.

"Mr. Luo, why is Bai Rongjun acting so strange?"

Luo Fei remained noncommittal.

"Yes, he seems eager to pin all the blame on Chen Meihong. But we did find Gu Nan's wallet and ID documents at Chen Meihong's house earlier."

"This seems to indicate she intentionally had someone kidnap Gu Nan, stole her ID documents, forged Gu Nan's disappearance, and, along with a drunk driver, planned a conspiracy to murder Mr. Bai's couple."

But hearing Luo Fei's analysis.

Li Yu hesitated a bit.

"But Mr. Luo, is it possible that Bai Rongjun or someone else planted Gu Nan's ID documents at Chen Meihong's house to frame her?"

"We can't rule out that possibility, but even to make a conclusion, that has to wait until we've extracted fingerprints from the items for confirmation."

Luo Fei said, ready to head to Chen Meihong's house with Li Yu.

To see if they could find more clues...

Meanwhile. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At the hospital.

After hanging up the phone.

Bai Rongjun was relieved.

His chest rising and falling violently.

Breathing heavily.

It was clear that during the call with Luo Fei, he was forcing himself to remain calm.

"Are you satisfied now?"

At the same time, Gu Nan, lying on the hospital bed with her back to him, asked coldly, without turning her head.

Bai Rongjun asked a bit confusedly.

"Mom, I don't understand."

"You know that Chen Meihong is a mistress; she deserved to die. Now that she's dead, your years of grievances have finally been resolved. Why are you still so upset?"

Looking at her son's confused face.

Unable to understand her thoughts at all.

Gu Nan said nothing, letting the tears well up in her eyes.

But it's not hard to understand.

Because she initially thought Mr. Bai put her in the car trunk to make her disappear from the world, vanish without a trace.

So he could live happily with Chen Meihong.

Without any public pressure.

But as she gradually learned the truth.

She discovered that her husband, until his last moment.

Was still trying to save her.

His feelings for her hadn't changed.

It was instead she, stubbornly refusing to see reason.

And her son, unbelievably cruel, doing such inhuman things.

Now Gu Nan was completely out of options.

"Son, it's mom's fault."

But seeing her choked with emotion, her eyes red.

Bai Rongjun said very seriously.

"Mom, don't cry. I know you're upset about dad's passing, but he got what he deserved."

"I will always be filial to you, take good care of you. You don't have to worry about being alone in old age. This should make you feel reassured, right?"

Hearing Bai Rongjun's question.

Gu Nan didn't answer.

Clearly, her son's thoughts differed from her own.

He didn't understand her perspective at all.

Meanwhile.

At Luo Fei's side.

After quickly sorting through Chen Meihong's personal items.

Luo Fei told Li Yu.

"From the situation at Chen Meihong's house and the smell on the wallet, it seems only two women have touched it."

But this news was hard for Li Yu and Old Han to digest.

"Does it mean that it really was Chen Meihong who orchestrated the murder, but was mistakenly harmed by the driver?"

"Not necessarily, maybe Chen Meihong had proactively contacted Bai Rongjun. Under his constant persuasion, she decided to steal Gu Nan's documents and wallet. Unexpectedly, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. In the end, she was tricked by Bai Rongjun and eliminated."

Seeing the two each expressing their opinions.

Luo Fei spoke gravely.

"From the current situation, there's no sign of forced entry into Chen Meihong's house. Plus, the surveillance at the neighborhood entrance and apartment building shows Bai Rongjun hasn't been here."
