Chapter 218

218 It Was Indeed Murder

There was finally new progress in He Feng’s death.

Nangong Jue used this as an excuse to enter Le Yao’s house.

Because they were going to talk about a case, Le Yao brought him into the study, opposite her room, where she did her homework.

Nangong Jue glanced around the room and smiled.

“Make yourself at home.” Le Yao gestured, then personally poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.

Nangong Jue sat down on the chair opposite the desk and reached for the paper on the table to flip through. With just one look, he knew that this girl’s science was not very good, but he did not say anything.

“What news did you get?” Le Yao didn’t mind the other party looking at the paper. It wasn’t a secret that she wasn’t good at studying.

“The police are sure that He Feng didn’t commit suicide. It was murder.”

“Are you really sure?” Le Yao’s eyes lit up.

Nangong Jue nodded. “Previously, when the police checked the car, they discovered that the brake system had been artificially destroyed. They even found hallucinogens in the mineral water in the car...”

“Who’s the killer?”

“Perhaps it’ll disappoint you.” Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao. “He’s a repairman in the repair shop. After the incident, he resigned and left Xiling City. He was just caught in his hometown yesterday.”

“A repairman? Why a repairman?”

“That repairman was a worker at the 4S shop. He was the one who received He Feng when she went to maintain the car. He fell in love with her at first sight, but He Feng didn’t like him. According to him, before the incident, he confessed again, but he was rejected. Moreover, He Feng even said some humiliating things. In a fit of anger, he did something extreme-”

“Nonsense!” Le Yao suddenly slammed the table and stood up. “A scapegoat. Definitely a scapegoat.”

Nangong Jue looked at her calmly.

Le Yao grabbed a handful of hair in frustration and began to walk around the room.

“Alright.” After the other party strolled back and forth seven or eight times, Nangong Jue reached out and pulled her back. “It’s useless to be angry and irritable.”

Le Yao took a deep breath. “Then have you checked this person’s background and family account...”

“The police have naturally thought of everything you can think of. They’ve investigated everything, including all his relatives in his hometown, but there’s no sign of contact with anyone. His finances are normal too. Moreover, Yan Zimeng doesn’t know him at all...”

Le Yao closed her eyes and suddenly opened them. “Yang Jinxuan.” Because of her arrival, everyone, including Nangong Jue, distanced themselves from Yan Zimeng. Only Yang Jinxuan stood by her side unwaveringly. If she was the mastermind, only Yang Jinxuan would help her.

Nangong Jue frowned.

“I know you brothers have a deep relationship, but Nangong Jue, if you’re no longer infatuated with Yan Zimeng, then you should see things objectively. Young Master Yang is definitely-”

“I know.” Nangong Jue’s eyes narrowed slightly. “I’ve been getting someone to pay attention to them, but I haven’t found anything unusual for the time being.”

Le Yao sat down on the chair in frustration. It was obvious, but without evidence, she could only watch the murderer get away with it. She felt very aggrieved.

“Lan...”

Le Yao waved her hand. “Stop talking. I understand. The law is all about evidence.” She paused. “But can I see that repairman?”
