Chapter 647: Argument
Not only did the people in the outside world not sympathize with Zhou Manning’s death, they felt that she deserved it.
After Feng Yuanlin dug out Zhou Manning’s corpse, the atmosphere at the police station was at its lowest.
For one thing, the matter had initially been handed to Feng Yuanlin to deal with because there were some people who wanted to make things difficult for him. Who would have thought that he would actually find Zhou Manning’s corpse in a few days? This credit naturally fell on his head; how could those who had schemed against him be convinced?
On top of that, Zhou Manning had suddenly disappeared from the police station’s lock-up, and now, her corpse had suddenly been found in the wall of the villa. No matter how one looked at it, this was strange.
Most of the people in the police station, who didn’t believe in ghosts and G.o.ds, felt their blood run cold when they dug out Zhou Manning’s deformed and terrifying corpse.
Apart from Feng Yuanlin, who knew the truth, the more the others thought about it, the more alarmed they became. Some wondered if there was another murderer involved, but couldn’t find any leads at all. This matter seemed even more sinister.
In Feng Yuanlin’s office, Captain Chen couldn’t help but ask Feng Yuanlin, “Director Feng, are we closing the case like this?”
Feng Yuanlin said indifferently, “If we don’t close the case, can you find any other leads? Besides, this woman, Zhou Manning, deserved it. I think she might have committed suicide.”
The corners of Captain Chen’s mouth twitched fiercely. Even if she really committed suicide, Zhou Manning wouldn’t be deranged enough to seal herself up in the wall and wait for death that way!
But when he thought of what Zhou Manning had done, he felt no pity for her; it was just that he felt that this matter was a little strange.
Captain Chen opened his mouth. “Director Feng, do you think Zhou Manning could have been possessed and committed suicide?”
Feng Yuanlin lifted his eyes to look at him. “Captain Chen, there’s something wrong with your way of thinking. Is this a scientific or superst.i.tious society?”
Captain Chen felt that these words were too familiar. Back when he brought someone to dig up Zhou Manqing’s corpse, hadn’t he also said the same thing to the others?
In the past, he really didn’t believe in ghosts and G.o.ds, but Zhou Manning’s “jailbreak” and her sudden death were really strange.
Captain Chen shook his head and quickly threw these absurd thoughts to the back of his mind, consoling himself that this was a scientific society. How could he believe in supernatural beings?
With Feng Yuanlin’s words, Zhou Manning’s case was closed.
In the evening, Feng Yuanlin thought about how he hadn’t contacted Qin Qing for the past few days, so he called her and personally drove to the apartment where she lived.
It just so happened that the a.s.sistant director had asked Qin Qing out again and she was about to leave her apartment. She was dressed up and ready to leave, when she ran into Feng Yuanlin, who had rushed over.
A trace of guilt subconsciously flashed in Qin Qing’s eyes when she saw Feng Yuanlin, but she quickly regained her composure. “What are you doing here?”
Feng Yuanlin observed her exquisite makeup, and Qin Qing was afraid that the man in front of her would find out that she was having an affair. She said coldly, “I have a press conference in the evening and have to go over. I’m afraid I don’t have time to entertain you right now!”
Feng Yuanlin’s face was a bit unsightly. He didn’t like Qin Qing’s heavy makeup. After listening to her explanation, he didn’t doubt her, and said in a pleasant tone, “Are you in a hurry? Why don’t we sit down for a while and chat?”
Feng Yuanlin had the heart to communicate, but Qin Qing wasn’t in the mood to talk to this man. She thought about how Feng Yuanlin not only didn’t call her these past few days, he also had dinner with the Chi woman a few days ago. He treated that woman like one of his own, but treated Qin Qing like an outsider. How could she stand such a boyfriend?
Qin Qing refused without thinking. “I’m not free!”
Feng Yuanlin grabbed Qin Qing’s wrist and said patiently, “Ah Qing, I’ve indeed been a little busy these days. I neglected you. Give me another chance?”
