Chapter 78 New Clue!

In the interrogation room.

Feng Tianlei sat quietly in a chair, his hair styled in a side-part with some gray at his temples. He was wearing a slim-fit blue suit, and a stern-faced lawyer stood behind him.

The interrogation room was not large, only half the size of the conference room, mainly used for questioning people related to cases.

And Uncle Wang was a frequent visitor here.

Creak.

The door pushed open. Chen Mo and Long Hao walked in, then shook hands one after another before sitting down together.

"Captain Long."

"I know the reason you brought me here this time. Lin Dahai's death has nothing to do with our Feng Family."

"Actually, when Feng Juan chose to elope with him, my father, Feng Guoliang, announced that he was cutting ties with his daughter. From then on, she ceased to be a part of the Feng Family."

"This is the will my father had a lawyer draw up in a fit of anger back then."

The lawyer standing behind him took the will out of his briefcase and placed it on the table.

Long Hao saw this and picked it up to examine it.

Then, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This will alone doesn't really prove anything."

"I think I need to clearly tell you the basis for our suspicion that your Feng Family hired someone to commit murder."

Feng Tianlei nodded and made a gesture of invitation.

"We suspect that your Feng Family hired a killer mainly due to three points. First, as Feng Juan's father, Feng Guoliang would be very angry about his daughter being subjected to domestic violence. It is reasonable that he might kill out of anger."

"Second: Your Feng Family's financial resources are different from ordinary families; you have the inherent conditions to hire a killer. My words may be a bit harsh, but this is indeed a point of suspicion for us at the moment."

Feng Tianlei nodded. Since he knew his family was being suspected, he naturally wouldn't get angry at being presumed guilty. He politely made a gesture for him to continue.

"Third, Lin Xixi is not dead. Lin Dahai's death was gruesome; his body was covered in steel nails, which shows that the killer hated him deeply, yet did not harm his child."

"If the killer was hired by you, then everything can be explained."

The interrogation room was unusually quiet for a moment.

Feng Tianlei crossed his legs and looked thoughtful.

And the lawyer beside him also leaned over, whispering something.

A moment later, Feng Tianlei spoke.

"In other words, as long as we prove that my father no longer cares about Feng Juan, we can clear our suspicion, right?"

Long Hao glanced at Chen Mo.

Then he nodded: "Theoretically, that is the case."

Since he didn't care anymore, he would naturally let her live or die on her own.

He would be even less likely to risk committing murder.

"Hand the loan agreement to Captain Long."

The lawyer nodded and took another document out of the briefcase, placing it on the table.

Long Hao took it with a curious expression.

Then he gestured for Chen Mo to look at it with him.

The IOU was a bit wrinkled. The content stated that Feng Juan borrowed 500,000 from the Feng Family, to be repaid in ten years.

Borrower: Feng Juan, Lin Dahai.

Lender: Blank.

"Two years after Feng Juan eloped with Lin Dahai, she came to me to borrow money. But by then, my father had already announced that he had cut ties with her, so I didn't lend it to her."

"Does this prove that we no longer have any connection to her?"

Feng Tianlei lit a cigarette and asked calmly.

Back then, seeing his sister's pitiful state, he almost lent it to her, without even expecting repayment.

Fortunately, he hadn't lent it, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain now.

Long Hao did not answer immediately; he crossed his hands and fell into deep thought.

To be precise, this IOU alone still didn't prove anything.

It still couldn't confirm that Feng Guoliang no longer cared about his daughter.

But dragging it out like this wasn't a solution either.

"I have a way to clear your Feng Family of suspicion."

Chen Mo's voice suddenly rang out in the interrogation room.

"Actually, until now, we have had a question: why on earth did Lin Dahai move his whole family to Muhe?"

"President Feng, you are so well-connected in Binhai, do you know?"

He stared at the calm-looking Feng Tianlei, waiting for an answer.

Previously, they thought Lin Dahai had an enemy who followed him all the way from Binhai to Muhe, but the request for assistance sent to Binhai had not received a reply for a long time.

And it had been delayed due to the suspicion surrounding Song Wei.

"I said, our Feng Family no longer associates with Feng Juan."

Just as Feng Tianlei finished speaking, he realized what was meant.

"You mean you want me to help you investigate?"

"You are the police, do you still need my help?"

Chen Mo looked helpless and spread his hands:

"We are far away in Binhai; our people really cannot reach that far."

The request for assistance had been sent out.

But!

The police in Binhai had to finish their own work first before they would have time to send someone to help them investigate Lin Dahai's situation.

By the time there was a result, who knew when that would be.

Feng Tianlei expressed understanding; it was the same in any government system.

Then he signaled for the lawyer to make a call.

"Officer, if it's found out, even if it doesn't clear my suspicion, I will have to go back."

"My visit this time was entirely out of courtesy; I could have just sent my lawyer."

Feng Tianlei got the unpleasant part out of the way first.

"Naturally."

Regarding the suspicion against the Feng Family, it had actually decreased quite a bit at this point.

Previously, they suspected the Feng Family because they thought it wasn't safe to act in Binhai, and it would be safer to act after the person left.

But this point of suspicion was fragile and fell apart at the slightest touch.

Now it seemed that it couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all.

If the other party really wanted to get rid of Lin Dahai quietly, compared to blowing a breath, it was just a bit troublesome.

They could just arrange a driver and disguise it as a car accident, and it would be over.

Being able to get some clues now was not a loss.

After informing Long Hao of his thoughts.

He also nodded in agreement; at least the IOU and Feng Guoliang's will both indicated that the Feng Family no longer had any relationship with Feng Juan.

Immediately, Long Hao brought up the issue of Lin Xixi's future whereabouts; after all, Feng Tianlei was her biological uncle.

"Our family is still run by the old man's word; he won't allow me to do that."

"I'm sorry."

Seeing that he also looked helpless, they didn't bring up the matter again.

About twenty minutes later.

The lawyer pushed the door open and walked back in.

Seeing the President nod for him to speak, he then began.

"The reason Lin Dahai moved his family was because his restaurant in Binhai couldn't keep going and went bankrupt; he also owed a high debt, totaling 800,000!"

"I sent someone to ask around, and the loan company did indeed send people to Muhe to look for Lin Dahai."

"This is the phone number of the person they sent over."

Feng Tianlei stood up from the chair and tightened his suit.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you two officers any longer. I'll be heading back."
