Luo Fei and his colleague followed Guan Liling upstairs.

But as soon as they entered the apartment.

Luo Fei smelled a strong scent of incense.

"Mr. Luo, please don't take offense. My son and I just can't easily accept the fact that he's gone. So the two of us have kept a memorial altar for him at home all these years. I hope you officers don't mind."

Seeing that she looked a little embarrassed.

She seemed somewhat ill at ease.

Luo Fei merely smiled it off.

"It's fine."

"As an outsider I can't fully experience what it feels like to lose your husband. So even if you're very depressed, that's only natural."

Luo Fei's understanding attitude made her feel somewhat relieved.

"Mom, are you home? Are you okay?"

Just then.

Hurried footsteps sounded in the hallway.

Then a young man in a white shirt and dress pants rushed in.

He was sweating all over.

Guan Liling took the initiative to introduce him.

"Mr. Luo, let me introduce someone to you."

"This is my son, Wang Siwen."

As she said this, Guan Liling's gaze wavered.

As if there was something she couldn't say.

And when Wang Siwen, standing to the side, saw Luo Fei and Old Han in his home…

His face instantly darkened.

"Officers, my father's case has been over for many years, and up to now there still hasn't been any result."

"So if you don't have any other business here, I'd like you to leave."

There was a gloomy edge to Wang Siwen's voice.

He clearly wasn't welcoming them.

But seeing how strongly he was showing his disgust.

Luo Fei couldn't help being puzzled.

"Mr. Wang, I don't get it. Your father was framed and died tragically on the tracks. In that situation, how can you be this calm?"

Luo Fei's expression was serious, but he was looking at Wang Siwen as if he found it a little absurd.

But Wang straightened his face and corrected him.

"Officer, you don't understand. This isn't calm, it's helplessness. Reality has numbed me."

"If you had even a bit of ability and had cleared the case earlier, I wouldn't be almost completely disappointed in the police by now."

Old Han originally thought…

That after hearing this, Luo Fei would be furious.

Or simply drop the investigation.

But after hearing him out, Luo Fei only gave a cold laugh.

"Mr. Wang, that's not how this works. There are plenty of cases that hang in the air no matter how much time passes, and some only get solved after more than a decade."

"So if we hadn't come today, solving it ten years from now still wouldn't be impossible."

That tone of Luo Fei's…

Immediately left the other man at a loss for words.

Wang Siwen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing the atmosphere grow tense.

Old Han hurried to smooth things over.

"Mr. Luo, we're just here to investigate a case. We should be asking the family's permission to begin with. If they're unwilling, we don't have to force it."

But before Old Han could finish.

Guan Liling cut in with a deep voice.

"Xiaowen, I think the officers are right."

"We should have faith in them, and we should give them some time."

Seeing the sincerity on Guan Liling's face.

Wang Siwen thought he must have misheard.

"Mom, what did you say? I must have heard that wrong."

It was no wonder he reacted that way.

Because in the past, whenever Guan Liling dealt with the police, she was quite resistant.

Especially the last time.

Some officers said they were coming to continue investigating his father's case.

They turned the whole house upside down.

But in the end there was no result at all.

That had already left an indelible psychological shadow on Guan Liling.

And now his elderly mother actually wanted to invite the police back to investigate.

To Wang Siwen this was really hard to fathom.

Noticing how incredulous he looked.

Guan Liling took a deep breath and said.

"Son, if it were anyone else, I might not trust them. But this is Mr. Luo."

"He's the head of the Major Crimes Unit. I believe he's capable enough. He'll definitely give us new hope."

But when he heard this.

Wang Siwen only let out a cold laugh.

"Mom, why do you insist on lying to yourself?"

"Last time those officers came, they also said they would definitely get to the truth for us. And how did that turn out?"

"Sometimes you're just way too optimistic. It's blinded you completely, so you can't see reality at all."

Hearing this.

Luo Fei, standing to the side, asked in mild surprise.

"Mr. Wang, the way you're talking, it's like you don't care whether your father was murdered or not."

"Don't you want the reason he was killed to be made public?"

Luo Fei's tone was one of shock and disbelief.

Wang Siwen clenched his fists in anger.

"Officer, how can you slander me like that! I just want to protect my mother!"

"This whole thing hit her too hard. Every time the police come, they say they'll find out the truth, and every time they let her hopes collapse."

"I don't want her old wounds ripped open over and over. Is that wrong?"

Seeing that Wang Siwen was truly furious.

And deeply frustrated.

Luo Fei only let out a cold snort and shook his head.

"Wang Siwen, how can you be so sure the people who came before were really police? Maybe they were sent by someone else, and they came here for another purpose entirely."
