Chapter 166: Chapter 80: Visits and Verification (Requesting Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)_2
Speaking of this, Yang Tianfu was a bit indignant, "Do you think he got incredibly lucky, such an unmotivated person can find such a good job..."
Clearly, he was a bit sour.
But Luo Fei and Wang Yong sensed something off.
From their case-solving experience, Yang Dawei and his boss definitely had issues.
In a normal employer-employee relationship, how could one earn a big salary just by running errands for a few days?
This is obviously against common logic!
"Village Chief Yang, do you know what his big boss does?"
"How would I know that..."
Yang Tianfu shrugged, then pointed at the cement house ahead, "Comrade, we’ve arrived, that’s Old Liu’s house."
"Oh, okay, thank you."
"No need to be so formal, if you’re all set, I’ll head back then."
"Sure."
After saying goodbye to Yang Tianfu, the two went on to find Grandpa Liu.
Since Grandpa Liu hadn’t suffered any loss, he was relatively more cooperative than Tao Mingliang. After a brief understanding of the incident, the two bid farewell to Grandpa Liu and left Yang Family Village.
Driving on the road, Wang Yong naturally began discussing Yang Dawei’s situation with Luo Fei.
"Team leader, what do you think Yang Dawei’s boss does? Is there really such a carefree and generous boss?"
Based on Yang Tianfu’s words, the money he saw on surveillance should be Yang Dawei’s salary for errands.
But earning twenty thousand in just a few days, he hadn’t heard of any job that pays so high.
Even he himself couldn’t earn twenty thousand despite working hard for a month.
"I’m thinking about this too, but anyhow, this boss is suspicious. Once we head back, let’s investigate along this line."
As they spoke, Luo Fei’s phone rang; it was Zhang Fan calling.
"Team leader, what’s the situation on your side now?"
"We’ve met with Grandpa Tao and Grandpa Liu, next, we plan to go to Taoyuan Village to see the last victim and then head back. How about you guys?"
"That fast?"
Zhang Fan exclaimed, then dejectedly said, "Don’t even mention our side, we just stepped in and barely said a word, the victim from Mao Ping Village suddenly turned hostile and chased us out. Now Zhaocheng and I are just squatting by the roadside opposite his house, clueless about what to do."
"This case is rather complicated, and it’s normal for victims not to cooperate. Try doing more advocacy work with him, mainly ensure this issue doesn’t affect their daily lives, get them to lower their guard and it’d be easier."
"It’s no use, Zhaocheng and I are talking ourselves hoarse, yet he doesn’t listen and even wants to smash us with a hoe."
Zhang Fan grumbled angrily, "I mean what’s up with these victims now? The perpetrators bully them, they don’t dare say a word, when we’re here to help them, they become aggressive..."
"You should just say less, it’s not easy for them either."
Luo Fei said, and after thinking a bit, he continued, "Given you can’t handle him, why not visit the next victim first. Once I’m done over here, I’ll make a trip to Mao Ping Town."
"Great, that’s what we were waiting for, team leader! Then we’ll visit another household first!"
"...Get going then, remember to speak gently, don’t be too blunt, it’s no surprise if they don’t cooperate!"
"Rest assured, team leader, definitely won’t mess it up this time."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yong asked, "What’s up, team leader, Zhang Fan’s side not going smoothly?"
"Yes, apparently the victim from Mao Ping Village is unusually resistant, so we need to move quickly. Finish with this victim and we’ve got to head to Mao Ping Village too."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yong immediately accelerated.
Soon they smoothly reached the next victim.
Although the other party initially resisted discussing the matter, having Luo Fei around resolved the issue smoothly, and they successfully persuaded the person, obtaining his testimony.
Afterward, once they successfully met with Zhang Fan and Zhaocheng in town, they headed towards Mao Ping Village.
Upon meeting the victim there, Luo Fei realized Zhang Fan hadn’t lied; this victim’s resistance was indeed intense.
Luo Fei just reached the yard, not having spoken yet, when the person raised a hoe rushing over.
No matter how tough it got, they had to proceed, Luo Fei could only dodge while negotiating.
It took at least half an hour of back-and-forth until he finally persuaded him successfully with his eloquence.
Of course, the major turning point was when he said, "Uncle Xu, it’s nothing much, but the more you fuss and clamor, the more suspicious it appears."
Uncle Xu desperately tried to chase them away fearing his affairs becoming known in the village; upon hearing this, he hurriedly dropped the hoe, dark-faced, ushering the four inside.
By then, his attitude had softened considerably, so it took little effort for Luo Fei to successfully get him to open up.
After obtaining his testimony, the four left.
Upon stepping out, Zhang Fan and the others naturally expressed their admiration towards Luo Fei.
Given Zhang Fan and the team had successfully obtained another victim’s testimony, their task was satisfactorily complete, so the four went back chatting and laughing.
At four fifty-three, Luo Fei knocked on Zhao Donglai’s office door.
"Luo Fei, you are back, so how did it go? Did you get the victims’ testimonies?"
"Yes, we got them."
"That’s good." Zhao Donglai nodded, then added, "The DNA report on Wang Wenbin is also out; it entirely matches the substances inside the deceased."
"You spare some time to draft a summary report, once Yang Su’s group returns, consolidate all testimonies, and we can submit the report."
Zhao Donglai spoke with barely suppressed excitement on his face.
He could already foresee, once the case got submitted, the rewards would be abundant for their efforts!
"Alright, I understand."
When Luo Fei left, it was already past five, and Zhaocheng, Zhang Fan had long vanished, while only Sun Jun remained at his workstation.
"Sun Jun, you’re not leaving yet?"
"Team leader, I was waiting for you, here’s what we found on Wang Wenbin’s phone."
Sun Jun passed a USB drive over with a pained expression, "Team leader, let’s agree beforehand, next time don’t assign me such tasks anymore. I’d rather inspect traces at a crime scene than deal with this stuff!"
"Haha, thanks for your hard work, don’t worry, next time I’ll assign Wang Yong."
"I’ll head off now, team leader, you finish up early and go home."
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
After Sun Jun left, Luo Fei prepared to head home with the USB drive.
Heading downstairs, he took out his phone, seeing Yang Mei had sent two texts five minutes ago.
"Luo Fei, I just bumped into Wang Yong, they said you’re back too."
"Are you done yet? I’m still waiting downstairs."
Luo Fei hastily replied, "Just left Captain Zhao’s office, coming down now."
Yang Mei quickly replied, "Okay."
Soon, Luo Fei reached downstairs, indeed seeing Yang Mei at the entrance.
She spotted him too, waving over excitedly, "Luo Fei!"
Once Luo Fei walked over, Yang Mei naturally linked arms with him, "Was evidence collection smooth today?"
"Not too bad, we’ve got the written statements from four victims."
"You were fairly lucky, I heard Xiaoyue and Wang Lei chatting, saying they’re having a hard time, three victims unwilling to testify against suspects, taking ages to finally get one victim’s testimony."
"That’s common, we had similar situations today."
Engaged in conversation, they quickly climbed into the vehicle.
Then Yang Mei enthusiastically asked, "By the way Luo Fei, where are we heading now?"
Her usual question indicating a desire to spend more time outside rather than heading home yet.
"It’s up to you, say where to go."
Luo Fei responded, as he began texting Luo Xiaoxiao, instructing him to tell Wu Yan he might return late, and not to wait on dinner for him.
Yang Mei had made up her mind, "Let’s go have dinner first, then a stroll around!"
