"What???"
Hearing the news, Yu Chengzhang and Li Xiang both showed shocked expressions.
No way?
A family lodrama?
This is just... too...sothing~
Lin Feifei seed to understand what they were thinking and quickly explained, "It’s not what you think. He doesn’t know that I’m his daughter."
"I’m actually his illegitimate daughter."
"Twenty-five years ago, when Yue Zheng was wildly popular, my mom was obsessed with his wild and unrestrained personality and talent, becoming one of his fangirls, attending every concert without fail."
"By chance, they got together and quickly fell in love. The relationship was great, but everything changed that day when my mom accidentally got pregnant, with ."
"So my mom wanted to get married, but Yue Zheng refused, repeatedly deceiving my mom. He claid it was his career’s rising period, so there couldn’t be any wedding news, and they had to keep the marriage secret. This lasted for seven years until sothing happened, making my mom see Yue Zheng’s true colors."
"I was six that year when my mom fell ill and passed away, and he didn’t even co to see her for the last ti as if they had never known each other. Maybe from beginning to end, he never intended to take responsibility for his actions. He was a complete self-serving asshole."
Lin Feifei fell into deep mories; as a child, other kids had their dads, but she didn’t, so she ran crying to her mom, who took out a photo to tell her that her dad was a famous singer, a very popular one.
It was from then on that she dread of becoming a singer when she grew up.
"Do you hate your father?"
"Hate. If it were you, wouldn’t you hate him?" Lin Feifei replied, with tears on her face.
Yu Chengzhang couldn’t fully empathize but could understand the hardships the young girl faced.
But at this mont, his role did not allow for any sympathy in his heart; in his mind, Lin Feifei’s motive for murder beca even more sufficient.
"Do you wish he were dead?"
Yu Chengzhang asked this question very cleverly. He didn’t directly ask if she killed Yue Zheng but instead asked within this context, a question Lin Feifei wouldn’t heavily guard against.
"Of course, I wish he were dead, especially since he found soone young enough to be his daughter to be his wife, and even had thoughts about . That old bastard deserves to be stuck on the wall now to be honest."
Lin Feifei blurted out these words but knew that the motive for her cri only got stronger, so she calmly said, "Even though I wish him dead, I just want revenge, to utterly ruin his reputation, make him live worse than death. I swear I didn’t kill him, Li Xiang, do you believe ?"
"I believe you."
Hearing Li Xiang still believe in her, Lin Feifei felt relieved. If she told the police about her relationship with Yue Zheng, it would only solidify her motive for murder.
"Ahem~"
Yu Chengzhang coughed twice, reminding Li Xiang, "You are now participating in the case-solving as a mber of the task force, and you cannot let personal emotions influence the work."
"Yes, leader, but I believe she’s innocent."
Yu Chengzhang: Words wasted.
Lin Feifei heard Li Xiang defending her and showed a slightly happy expression, still with tears on her face.
But the news from Lin Feifei, while explosive, didn’t help much in solving the case and only further strengthened her motive for murder.
Saying was as good as not saying.
"Forget it," Yu Chengzhang thought, "At least the task force indirectly added half a person."
He could only console himself this way.
The case suddenly returned to square one.
Just then, Yu Chengzhang’s phone rang. It was Mao Ji, a mber of the task force, calling.
"Captain Yu, there is new information that might be directly related to the case."
"Good, notify everyone, et in the case analysis room for a briefing in ten minutes."
Yu Chengzhang hung up the phone and personally escorted Lin Feifei out, "Thank you for coming today, go ho first, and we’ll contact you promptly if there are any updates."
"Okay, as long as you can clear my na, I’ll cooperate however necessary."
Yu Chengzhang smirked: That’s not what you just said.
But he still saw her off with a smile.
"Li Xiang, you stay, we’ll have a eting and introduce you to the rest of the team."
Li Xiang initially planned to leave but was stopped by Yu Chengzhang; he was now part of the task force, and joining the case analysis eting was a good opportunity for introductions.
"Yes."
Li Xiang agreed, turned to Lin Feifei, and said, "You head back first, rest assured; the police will clear your na."
"Mm, I also believe in you."
At this scene, Yu Chengzhang felt like he had consud sothing he shouldn’t have.
He shook his head, dismissed the strange thoughts, and called on Li Xiang to head to the task force’s case analysis room for the eting.
Upon arrival at the case analysis room, so people were already present.
Yu Chengzhang glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone’s here, let introduce soone to you, standing next to is auxiliary officer Li Xiang, who recently captured an A-level fugitive. He’s quite a talent, temporarily assigned to our task force for assistance, please welco him."
The task force mbers warmly applauded to welco him.
"Thank you all, my na is Li Xiang, please guide from now on."
"Next, I’ll introduce our team mbers. This is Feng Yonglin, the captain of the first investigation team, and this lady is Zhao Yin, an expert in criminal psychology. Beside her is Mao Ji, who specializes in intelligence gathering, all experts in Jinghai’s criminal investigation. You’ll need to learn a lot from them."
"Please guide well."
Yu Chengzhang introduced the other three mbers of the task force to Li Xiang, and everyone got acquainted before proceeding with the next agenda.
"Mao Ji, what new leads do you have?"
"According to my investigation, Yue Zheng had taken out a massive accidental death insurance policy before he died, with a coverage of fifty million, and the beneficiary was his current wife, He Qian’Er. Do you think this could be an insurance fraud murder case?"
Mao Ji changed direction and finally found a lead; such a significant insurance payout might tempt so to take risks.
"There’s that possibility, and not a low one, but she wasn’t in Jinghai City when the cri occurred."
"It doesn’t have to be her personally."
The new lead introduced a new direction for the case, drawing the police’s attention to Yue Zheng’s young and beautiful wife.
"Without delay, comnce an investigation on He Qian’Er. Mao Ji, you should verify with the insurance company if He Qian’Er has filed a claim."
"Alright."
Mao Ji nodded, "The insurance company is on holiday during Spring Festival. I’ll verify first thing when they reopen."
