Chapter 108: The Investigation

Prince Wang Zixuan and the other person went upstairs to explain the situation. Suddenly, the air grew quiet. At that moment, the child on the bed made a faint sound. Everyone glanced over and then looked away. Hao Yingjun quietly took notes.

Xu Miaohan’s father said, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Could it be someone with the same name? Xiaohan just got a raise. There’s no other child. How could she possibly commit suicide?”

Wang Zixuan replied, “Do you know she recently separated from her husband?”

Father: “Impossible. They come back with the child every week.”

Hao Yingjun asked, “Has she shown any slightest sign of abnormality lately?”

Father: “Not at all. She was here just yesterday and even said she wanted to eat my cooking. How could a mother bear to leave her child behind and take her own life? Have you really gotten to the bottom of this?”

Hao Yingjun’s face revealed discomfort, and he seemed unable to recover for a while.

Xu Miaohan’s mother said, “My daughter… perhaps… something was wrong.”

The three of them turned to look at her, hoping she could shed some light.

Mother: “When she left yesterday, she clung to me tightly and wouldn’t let go. She told me to take good care of myself. She said she was busy with work and wouldn’t be able to come home for a while. I felt something was off yesterday, and now I realize she intended to leave.”

Hao Yingjun, unable to bear it any longer, whispered into Wang Zixuan’s ear, “Maybe we should just erase the memories.”

Wang Zixuan: “It’s useless. Sooner or later, they’ll find out the truth.”

Hao Yingjun: “Knowing a day later means one more day of happiness.”

Just as Hao Yingjun was about to take out a speaker, Xu Miaohan’s mother spoke from the side, “My daughter could hide things from her old man, but not from me. You should investigate that scoundrel Wang Feiyue. I heard he’s keeping a mistress outside. He’s not worth a thing. You need to look into him.”

In the supermarket’s lower interrogation room, Xiao Deng took out several photos and showed them to Wang Feiyue. He flipped through them repeatedly, growing more agitated each time. When Xiao Deng felt it was enough, he took the photos back.

Wang Feiyue said, “It’s me with her. I shouldn’t have filed for divorce at that time.”

Xiao Deng asked, “Why did you want a divorce?”

Wang Feiyue nervously replied, “The past two years haven’t been good. Especially after she had the child. She seemed to suffer from postpartum depression. She was dissatisfied with everything in life…”

Xiao Deng said, “So you mean she committed suicide?”

Wang Feiyue nodded vigorously.

At that moment, Xiao Deng handed him a photo.

Xiao Deng: “Mr. Wang, you often travel out of town. Is it really for business?”

After Xiao Deng released his hand, the photo showed Wang Feiyue walking with a beautiful woman.

Wang Feiyue’s eyes flickered uncertainly, and he remained silent for a long while.

Xiao Deng said, “Could it be possible that the reality is the opposite of what you said? Xu Miaohan discovered your affair and wanted a divorce. You refused because if you cheated during the marriage, you wouldn’t get a single penny. So you lost control.”

Wang Feiyue nervously replied, “Detective, that’s not true. I swear a hundred times. I wronged her, but I would never harm her.”

Xiao Deng said, “Whether what you say is true or not, we’ll find out soon enough.”

After the interrogation, Xiao Deng went directly to see Duan Peng.

As soon as he arrived, Duan Peng didn’t turn around and said, “Wang Feiyue has a complete alibi.”
