The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 102 The rift between father and son
"Captain Liu, no, I won't live there." Qi Fei immediately refused.

Liu Tong had already predicted his attitude and said, "This is for the needs of the case. I will coordinate with the Cloud Deep Secret Realm. You don't have to pay for it yourself. Oh, although you don't need to pay either. How is this different from going home?"

Qi Fei got angry when he heard this: "Captain Liu, I have always respected you. Others may not know the reason, but don't you? And you still say such sarcastic words..."

But Qi Fei's temper was like a bullet hitting the beach, completely useless in front of Liu Tong.

"We must enforce the law impartially and exclude personal feelings when handling cases. We were taught this when we were in police academy. Have you forgotten?" Liu Tong still had a good attitude.

Qi Fei was helpless after hearing this: "Captain Liu, why do I feel that this is not the right way to use it?"

Qi Fei was ultimately unable to persuade Liu Tong, and he and Zhong Kui left first.

As soon as he left, Wu Shanqiu couldn't wait to come up to Liu Tong and ask, "Captain Liu, there's something I've always wanted to know. Qi Dongjun is so rich, and Fei Ge is his son. He could be a carefree rich second-generation, so why did he have to come to our police station to work as a detective?"

"What? Do you think our glorious profession is not as good as that of a lazy rich second generation?" Liu Tong teased Wu Shanqiu while pretending to be angry.

Wu Shanqiu stuck out her tongue. "Oh, then let me ask this another way. What exactly happened between Brother Fei and Qi Dongjun? It seems like their relationship is very strained. I'm just curious. If my dad was so rich, I wouldn't mind being mean to me."

"Qi Dongjun wasn't mean to your brother Fei at all. It's just that when Qi Fei was fourteen, his mother was brutally murdered at home. The real murderer hasn't been found for all these years, and Qi Dongjun has always been the biggest suspect. The prosecution and the prosecution went through a very fierce debate, and in the end, Qi Dongjun's lawyer won, and Qi Dongjun was acquitted in court. Qi Fei was there at the time. Of course, I was there too, but I accompanied our leader. Qi Dongjun was an important entrepreneur in Nancheng. The higher-ups paid a lot of attention to this case back then, and the leader personally supervised it. I was deeply impressed by Qi Fei at that time. When Qi Dongjun was declared not guilty in court, Qi Fei almost shouted at the same time that Qi Dongjun had killed his mother."

"Ah, so Qi Dongjun hired a lawyer at a high price to exonerate him?"

"That's not necessarily true. I was present throughout the entire trial, and let me be honest with you. Judging from what happened during the trial, the evidence linking Qi Dongjun to his wife's murder is indeed incomplete. His lawyer simply pointed this out clearly."

"In other words, it's still unknown whether Qi Dongjun killed his wife. Then why does Brother Fei hate his father so much?"

"Because when Qi Fei returned home, he saw Qi Dongjun standing in front of his mother's body with a knife, and the first thing he said was that Qi Fei killed his mother. Qi Fei believed that Qi Dongjun was trying to frame him, a minor, in order to get away with it."

"However, Qi Dongjun's confession was that when he returned home and saw his wife lying in a pool of blood, he subconsciously picked up the knife beside him, an action he took when he was at a loss. As for why he said that Qi Fei was the murderer, it was simply because he was so shocked by seeing his wife being murdered that he lost his mind and babbled nonsense. In fact, in addition to Qi Dongjun's fingerprints on the murder weapon, there was another fingerprint, but this fingerprint did not belong to anyone in the Qi family, including Qi Fei. This fingerprint was also an important piece of evidence for Qi Dongjun's exoneration.

I think this incident was the key reason why Qi Fei later applied to the police academy."

"That Lu Man, I seem to have seen her following Qi Dongjun around all the time. She's his secretary or something, and they seem to have a special relationship. I think Brother Fei treats her very badly."

"That's understandable. One of the reasons the police suspected Qi Dongjun was that he had been having an affair with Lu Man before his wife was murdered. Normally, in situations like this, when a wife is murdered, the husband is the prime suspect. Unfortunately, the forensic examination of his wife's time of death showed that Lu Man confirmed she was with Qi Dongjun at the time, giving Qi Dongjun an alibi."

Wu Shanqiu listened thoughtfully: "Ah, so Lu Man is Qi Dongjun's lover? I don't think she is very old. When Fei Ge was sixteen, Lu Man was only a few years old. Is Qi Dongjun an old cow eating young grass?"

"You gossiphead, is this the point? Qi Fei hates her because she helped Qi Dongjun get away with the crime. But there was indeed other circumstantial evidence at that time, proving that Qi Dongjun appeared near Lu Man's apartment during the period of his wife's death, so..." "No wonder Brother Fei reacted so strongly that day..." Wu Shanqiu held her cheek and recalled the embarrassing scene of that day.

"However, Qidong County is quite good to Qi Fei..." Liu Tong took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"How do you say this?"

"When Qi Fei was studying at the police academy, I was the director of the academic affairs office. You don't know how stubborn Qi Fei was back then. He refused to use Qi Dongjun's money and would rather work outside during his holidays to earn tuition. With his family background, the school couldn't provide him with a student loan. A kid from a wealthy family had to live in extreme poverty..."

"Brother Fei, what a fool! Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

"As outsiders, it's difficult for us to comment on this, but he probably still doesn't know that the year he received the scholarship for his excellent grades, everyone's scholarship suddenly doubled compared to previous years. This was because someone sponsored him. Only a few people know the identity of this sponsor, and that person is Qi Dongjun."

"Huh? Qi Dongjun funded the entire school's scholarships to subsidize Fei Ge?"

"Yes, Qi Fei probably still doesn't know."

……

It was late at night and the snow on the mountain showed no signs of melting. It seemed that we would have to wait until spring.

Yunshen Secret Realm is just like its name. In the night, the magnificent Chinese-style door and the two yellow lights on the left and right reflect the copper ring handles. It is simple and simple, but also implies the luxury inside.

Zhong Kui and Qi Fei didn't need to keep it a secret, so they drove up there themselves.

Qi Fei was very depressed along the way. When he was about to reach the villa, he finally couldn't help complaining: "We can come during the day to investigate the case. Do we have to stay here?"

Zhong Kui was playing with her hair, as if she didn't hear anything.

The parking lot was outside the villa. When they parked the car and walked to the door, the gate was already open. Zhong Kui walked in with a swagger. Bao Chuchu trotted out to greet him, which was very different from her attitude when facing Qi Fei.

"Master, you're finally here!" Bao Chuchu said, "I was shocked when I heard the police call saying your name was among the two people who were going to stay with us."

"It was me and the police who proposed this. Hong Mei's death cannot be solved by them, so I decided to come out." Zhong Kui said seriously.
