Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 676 - 332: The Journey to the South of the Province Begins

"What?"

He Xin suddenly stood up.

Beside him, Zhang Wei fell back into his chair with a thump.

Both of them had been police officers for several years, and this case clearly shattered their worldviews, raising their limits of endurance.

Shi Xinyu, who was already somewhat out of control, collapsed into her chair upon hearing this.

The chest that had been upright moments ago now completely slumped, her eyes dim, and the aura around her waned in an instant.

Even bystanders could see the signs of her collapse.

"Your greatest advantage is that your words mix truth and falsehood to the point where they're almost indistinguishable."

Luo Fei began to explain further.

"You indeed like Deng Kaiwen, but likewise, your love for him can't withstand any devastation."

"During the time you were together with him, you accidentally found out that his feelings for your mother, Hu Hui, remained unchanged all twelve years, ultimately breaking you down."

Shi Xinyu continuously shook her head, pleading with Luo Fei to stop talking.

But this wasn't her home; this was a place for truth. Zhang Wei and the others had already taken notes, today was destined to reveal the true and hidden story.

"The truth is that Deng Kaiwen was always in love with your mother."

"You thought you could monopolize Deng Kaiwen's love in the future after her death, but after you were with him, you discovered that he never touched you, never did anything to you, treating you like a familiar stranger with the title of boyfriend and girlfriend, yet never being wholeheartedly invested in you."

"You inquired, hinted, and probed through the Deng family's words, gathering information, and finally reached an answer."

"Throughout these years, Deng Kaiwen, this passionate fool, had always loved Hu Hui. You were nothing more than a fool who never entered his heart."

Luo Fei's words had reached this point, and Shi Xinyu broke into tears, her eyes bloodshot, having already known these facts.

Yet only when the scars were revealed did she realize how painful it was.

"Regarding your method of committing the crime, based on my analysis and the evidence left at the scene, it should have been before he went to the club that you secretly added something to the materials he used for incense burning."

"The external purchase channels for this hallucinogen are very narrow, and there are only a few places where it can be bought, and really, if we use police power to investigate, it's not necessarily impossible to find out. You thought we would focus all our attention on the suicide case, but unfortunately, you were still too naive."

Luo Fei hadn't finished speaking.

Today he wanted to tell a very long story.

But Shi Xinyu could no longer hold back and started to scream almost madly.

"He's just a bastard who changes his affections. He agreed to be with me because he thought I resembled my mother."

"It's a compensatory mindset, it's his compensation... not real."

Seeing her hysterical shouting, Luo Fei also couldn't be bothered to respond.

He continued to narrate the findings of the investigation on his own.

"The compensation is indeed compensation, but not in terms of emotions, rather, it's a compensation to you as a daughter."

Daughter?

These words were like a bolt out of the blue striking Shi Xinyu's head. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

She never imagined that in the end, she was still carrying the name of a daughter, forever unable to fulfill the love she desired.

Even though she had committed the heinous act of killing her mother, she ultimately couldn't achieve her desire.

"When you used the name Shi Xinyu to frequent bars to pull in connections and tried to get close to Deng Kaiwen, there were already some young heirs interested in investigating your identity."

"But do you know why they couldn't find anything? Or rather why they had no clues all along?"

"That's because Deng Kaiwen was protecting you all along. From the first moment he saw you, he knew your identity."

"Perhaps just one glance and he saw the shadow of your mother, and then, after his investigation, he knew your true identity as the only child of his beloved."

"He loves you like a stepfather, protects you, owns you with the title of boyfriend, but doesn't make any substantial moves on you; his restraint is not only due to ethical and moral reasons but also due to his love for your mother."

Each word pierced Shi Xinyu's heart like a sharp awl.

"His protection of you in secrecy, without any action, is all because of your mother. Yet you are still naively dreaming of some true love; isn't it ridiculous?"

At this point, Shi Xinyu could not bear it anymore and burst into tears, leaning over the table.

The strength, stubbornness, and mad fury from before had all turned into tears.

However, she was not worthy of sympathy, as ultimately her selfish desires and wicked thoughts had harmed two innocent people.

It was precisely that erroneous wishful thinking that created the sins spanning two generations.

Luo Fei walked out of the interrogation room, where Zhao Donglai and others had been waiting for him for a long time, and applauded for his brilliant deduction and the successful resolution of the case.

But Luo Fei didn't say anything, merely gestured to the crowd not to do this for him, and then he walked straight away.

Walking down the street, he recalled what happened not long ago in his mind.

He went to Deng Chao's home to meet the old master and got permission to enter Deng Kaiwen's room, where he saw the diary left by him.

The contents weren't much, but were written in great detail.

From the moment he first met Shi Xinyu and felt a palpitation, to the discovery of her identity.

From initially protecting her, to reminiscing about the lost true love.
