Chapter 1005 - 496: Calm and Unmoved? Caught Off Guard (Part 2)
Hearing the woman’s voice.
At first, Luo Fei was a bit puzzled.
"Hello ma’am, how did you get my phone number? Who are you reporting?"
"Officer, I’m reporting my son. He’s a subordinate of Chen Jinping. Today’s arson case was orchestrated by him alone."
Because Luo Fei had the speakerphone on.
Everyone present almost heard what the other party said.
This made Luo Fei somewhat surprised.
"Ma’am, are you sure you know what you’re saying? Do you realize how serious this accusation is?"
"Officer, I’m not lying. My son left a note and disappeared after leaving home this morning. He said he feels guilty for betraying Captain Chen’s trust by doing something so outrageous."
"So he hopes to make amends by taking real action to atone for his sins."
But hearing the woman, Luo Fei only felt.
This kind of statement is somewhat hard to believe.
This could even be considered nonsense.
Because without any evidence, even if Luo Fei really began to investigate.
It’s unlikely he could easily draw conclusions.
So, Luo Fei also spoke gravely at that moment.
"Ma’am, where are you? We’ll come to find you now and speak directly."
"Mr. Luo, I’m not feeling well and haven’t been home for a while. I suggest you come find me at the hospital’s inpatient department. There are more people here, it’s easier to talk. I can’t lie to you."
The other party suddenly said a lot in a somewhat rambling manner.
Luo Fei didn’t pay much attention.
He assumed the woman was just nervous and panicked, thus flustered.
Not to mention, it seemed like the woman was going through menopause.
Just.
As Luo Fei was talking to the woman.
Li Yu beside him was a bit astonished.
"Mr. Luo, this woman’s behavior is quite strange."
"Yes, normally, even if someone heard something like this, they’d likely find it hard to believe and side with their own child. But this woman didn’t even consider the possibility that her son might be wronged or there might be hidden facts?"
Luo Fei also found it indeed quite strange.
So he immediately reached a consensus with Old Han.
They divided into two teams.
He and Li Yu would go meet the woman.
Old Han and the others would first regroup with Huang Anran.
Over 20 minutes later.
Luo Fei and the team arrived at the hospital.
As they entered the ward where the woman was.
The woman was also a bit flustered.
"Officers, thank goodness you’ve come."
Seeing the woman somewhat agitated.
Luo Fei gave a nurse nearby a look.
"Nurse, we need to speak with the woman, so could you please step out for a moment?"
After hearing Luo Fei’s suggestion.
The nurse quickly walked out, closing the door behind her.
As soon as the nurse left.
The woman suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Luo Fei.
"Mr. Luo, please, save my son. He must be in trouble, I beg you, please help me save him!"
Seeing the woman suddenly kneel.
Luo Fei was somewhat taken aback.
"Ma’am, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Luo Fei was genuinely confused.
Why the woman’s attitude had suddenly changed so drastically.
And the woman before him solemnly said.
"Officer, I’m sure my son is in trouble. Because he has insisted I stay hospitalized for months and not return home."
"He also said someone is targeting him, that he’s in for big trouble."
It turned out, the woman’s son had been having problems not just for a day or two.
There had been signs for a while.
However, the woman was afraid of being watched or that her attempt to clear her son’s name might be thwarted, so she devised this plan.
Seeing the woman felt a bit helpless.
At this point.
She cried heart-wrenchingly.
Luo Fei suddenly realized.
"So ma’am, you reported your son because you realized he was in trouble?"
Seeing Luo Fei immediately understanding her intention.
The woman neither confirmed nor denied.
"Yes, Mr. Luo."
"I was really left with no choice. After all, he’s a grown man, strong and young. If I just reported him missing to the police, they probably wouldn’t believe me."
"In that case, wouldn’t I have even fewer ways to help him?"
But seeing the woman seemed to hesitate to speak.
At this point.
She was clearly a bit at a loss.
Luo Fei, however, said with a smile.
"Ma’am, I must say, you’re very smart."
Luo Fei’s sudden compliment made the woman think she had misheard.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Luo, what did you say, did I hear you wrong?"
At this moment.
The woman was truly almost dumbfounded.
Seeing her disbelief.
Luo Fei was very certain.
"Ma’am, you didn’t hear wrong. I’m being very serious, and I’m not joking with you."
"It’s indeed your wit that bought your son a lot of time."
Seeing Luo Fei’s serious demeanor.
Saying this with a stern face.
The woman felt slightly relieved.
But in contrast, Li Yu on the side was a bit harsh.
She said seriously.
"Ma’am, although you’ve called us police over here intending to help your son."
"But from my personal perspective. Is your son really missing? I’m not so sure."
Li Yu’s question made the woman think she misheard.
"Miss Li, what do you mean, do you think I’m deliberately lying, do you think I’m deliberately trying to deceive you?"
"Why would you think that?"
Seeing the woman was a bit angry.
At this point, she was so anxious she was babbling.
Luo Fei also said.
"Ma’am, don’t get angry, calm down. I think what Li Yu said makes sense. It doesn’t necessarily mean your son is lying."
"It’s just that he’s a young man, it’s easy for him to leave. So maybe he’s just gone for a while to lay low."
"After some time, he might just reappear."
But.
Hearing Luo Fei’s speculation.
The woman was frustrated and exasperated.
She couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
"That rascal, where on earth has he gone? Why does he do this to make me worry! He’s driving me crazy!"
The woman said, somewhat angry.
Clearly.
She could not accept such an outcome.
But thinking about it carefully, actually, if anyone else were in her position, they’d likely have similar thoughts and feelings.
So, Luo Fei did not blame her.
Instead, he said earnestly.
"Ma’am, I understand your concerns. I also know. You certainly hope your son returns safely."
"However, I think the reason he left such a letter, even at the risk of disappointing you, was to ensure a clear separation between you two."
"Only when you two stop contacting, or even sever ties, will you be less distressed and worried about where he’s gone or what he’s facing that he can’t handle."
As Luo Fei was saying this, his phone suddenly buzzed.
He picked it up and found it was a field report from Chen Jinping.
But after looking at the report.
Luo Fei suddenly laughed.
"Ma’am, I just received a text message. It’s closely related to our ongoing investigation, so if you don’t mind, I may have to step out briefly."
"If you don’t mind, I’d like to go send a message."
"Alright, Mr. Luo, go ahead with your work. After all, he’s been missing for a morning. Even if I’m anxious, becoming a hot mess won’t help."
At this point.
The woman sighed longingly.
At this moment.
Her heart was heavy with sadness.
But as Luo Fei left the room.
Li Yu beside him clearly noticed that Luo Fei’s expression had been a bit hesitant to speak earlier.
