The sudden slap made Tan Fei freeze on the spot. She had been married to Du Zhiguo for so many years. Although he was busy with work and rarely cared about her and her daughter's feelings, Du Zhiguo had never hit her.
Tan Fei's tears rolled down her cheeks like a broken necklace of pearls, falling to the ground and shattering.
She bit her lower lip. Her tears had long blurred her vision. The figure of the man in front of her had gradually become blurry.
"I'm sorry."
After a long time, Tan Fei squeezed out these three words from between her teeth.
Du Zhiguo didn't even look at Tan Fei. He rushed out of the door and carried Du Weiwei up. He buried his head in his daughter's shoulder. At this moment, a man completely broke down. Because of the sobs, his body couldn't stop trembling.
"Hubby …" Tan Fei gently placed her trembling hand on Du Zhiguo's shoulder.
Du Zhiguo turned around and pulled Tan Fei into his arms.
Ye Zi stood at the door and smiled slightly. She shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to close the door, Chen Mo walked over and stood beside her. He was like a tall and proud tree, his figure enveloping Ye Zi.
Ye Zi turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo. "Brother Chen Mo, can you give the family of three some time?"
Chen Mo didn't say anything. He only nodded and stood together with Ye Zi outside Du Zhiguo's house. Chen Mo leaned against the wall and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He took out a cigarette from the pack and lit it up. He put it in his mouth and took a deep breath before exhaling a thick ring of smoke.
Ye Zi frowned slightly. She remembered that Chen Mo hadn't smoked for a long time. Why did he pick up a cigarette now?
She walked in front of Chen Mo and snatched the cigarette from his mouth. "Did you stop smoking a long time ago?"
Chen Mo smiled. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was faint and deep as he said, "Recently, I've always felt that my mouth doesn't have any taste …"
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at him and took out a lollipop from her pocket. She was going to use it to coax Du Weiwei, but on the way back, Du Weiwei acted like an adult and said that girls who eat lollipops are too childish. So, this childish childishness could only be …
Ye Zi tore open the wrapper and stuffed the lollipop directly into Chen Mo's mouth. "In the future, if you want to smoke again, eat a lollipop."
Chen Mo smiled, took out the lollipop from his mouth, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Strawberry flavored."
"Why do you care about the taste? Just eat." Ye Zi rolled her eyes at him.
Creak.
In a flash, the Du family's door slowly opened. Du Zhiguo carried the child in one hand and Tan Fei in the other as he walked out of the house.
After this incident, Du Zhiguo looked much older, and the hair on his temples was a little white. He pulled Tan Fei to stand in front of Ye Zi and Chen Mo.
Tan Fei stepped forward and gave a 90-degree bow to Ye Zi and Chen Mo. "Chief Chen Dui, Miss Yeh, I'm really sorry."
Chen Mo sucked on the lollipop and raised his eyebrows at Tan Fei. "You don't have to apologize. Miss Tan, you should know that the suspect in this kidnapping case has fallen to his death. You need to come with us to the police station and explain in detail what happened."
Tan Fei nodded and turned to face Du Zhiguo. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Hubby, wait for me at home with our daughter. I'll cooperate with Chief Chen Dui for the investigation."
At the Municipal Crime Squad.
Tan Fei was unusually calm. Perhaps it had something to do with her work. She sat behind the interrogation table without any expression on her face. It was not until Chen Mo and Bai Yang walked into the interrogation room that Tan Fei looked up at them.
Chen Mo was still polite to Tan Fei because in Chen Mo's opinion, Tan Fei might not be directly related to this kidnapping case.
Chen Mo handed the transcript to Bai Yang and casually combed his hair before asking Tan Fei, "Miss Tan."
Tan Fei nodded.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Tan Fei nodded and said, "About half a year ago, I felt that my husband didn't love me as much as he used to. He put all his attention on work and didn't care about me and our daughter …"
She paused for a moment, and her eyes became watery. "This time, I went abroad on business. I wanted to go with my husband and daughter, and at the same time, I wanted to relive the feeling of being a newlywed. However, my husband said that he had to work. I began to suspect that my husband had a woman outside. Flash Dance Network … "
"Since you have doubts, why didn't you directly find a private detective to investigate your husband? Moreover, you used such a roundabout method?" Bai Yang asked.
Tan Fei replied, "I love my husband very much. I don't want us to go to that point."
"Did Sun Yu take the initiative to contact you?" Chen Mo's brows were furrowed as he stared at Tan Fei without blinking.
Tan Fei only felt that Chen Mo's gaze was terrifying. She subconsciously avoided it. She shook her head and said, "I don't know any Sun Yu at all."
"You don't know Sun Yu?!"
Chen Mo and Bai Yang looked at each other.
Tan Fei nodded and said, "I applied for leave from the company. Originally, I wanted to take my daughter out to relax, but then I received a call from a stranger."
"A stranger?!"
Chen Mo became even more suspicious. His frown deepened as he stared at Tan Fei with a probing look in his eyes.
Tan Fei nodded. "Yes, a stranger called me. That day, I was going to buy some clothes for Bali. When I was shopping in the store, I picked up the wrong phone and then I received that call. "
"Was the caller a man or a woman?" Chen Mo got up and took a bottle of mineral water. He walked to Tan Fei and handed the bottle to her.
Tan Fei said, "I don't know if it was a man or a woman. His voice was very strange. It should have been processed."
Chen Mo continued to ask, "What did he say to you?"
"He said that if I want to prove whether my husband still loves me and our child, I can't go on a trip. Also, I have to tell my husband that I'm going on a business trip. When I asked him, he told me that he was a psychologist."
Psychologist?!
Chen Mo's frown deepened. It was obvious that this psychologist was a scam. How did he know the relationship between Tan Fei and Du Zhiguo? If Tan Fei wasn't lying, perhaps this psychologist was by Tan Fei's side.
Tan Fei continued, "He also said that he was doing research on a project, mainly for families like ours. I … I was a little tempted."
When she said this, Chen Mo could clearly see a little guilt on Tan Fei's face. However, this didn't mean that Tan Fei was lying. On the contrary, it proved that what Tan Fei said was the truth.
Tan Fei was a modern woman. She had a good appearance, a high salary, and a stable family. However, even a woman with these conditions was more likely to make this kind of mistake.
Chen Mo twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle. Tan Fei took it and took a sip. She continued, "I followed his instructions and rented a room in a hotel near my house. I'm waiting for his further instructions."
Chen Mo paced back and forth in the interrogation room. Through Tan Fei's statement, he could tell that this person was definitely not Sun Yu.
Sun Yu was a typical impulsive person. He wouldn't arrange something that he couldn't figure out.
What was this person's purpose?
Could it be that this psychologist simply wanted to create a rift in a family?
Chen Mo couldn't figure it out. He looked at Tan Fei and felt that she didn't seem to be lying. After thinking for a while, Chen Mo asked again, "What was his next instruction?"
Tan Fei replied, "He told me to wait in the garden near the district and told me that someone would send my daughter over. He also told me that there was a security uniform in the second stall of the ladies' restroom. He told me to change into it."
Chen Mo and Bai Yang knew what happened after that. Sun Yu saw that the matter had been exposed, so he took Ye Zi hostage and brought her to the rooftop of the Sunrise District. After pushing and shoving, Sun Yu fell to his death.
"Chief Chen Dui, I really don't know anything else." Tan Fei was a little emotional.
Chen Mo looked at her and asked, "Who gave your daughter to you?"
Tan Fei said, "I don't know either, but I waited near the garden. Later, a security guard gave me a note and told me to go to the underground garage to find a Volkswagen Santana. He said that my daughter was in the car and told me not to go home immediately after I found my daughter. That way, I wouldn't know my husband's feelings for me. He told me to bring my daughter to a nearby hotel to stay for two days before going home."
As she spoke, she stole a glance at Chen Mo. "Chief Chen Dui, did I cause trouble for you?"
Chen Mo didn't know how to explain it to Tan Fei. A company executive who graduated from a prestigious university would actually make such a mistake and trust someone she didn't even know.
Chen Mo asked, "Where's the phone?"
Tan Fei picked up her bag from the chair beside her and started rummaging through it. "Eh? That's not right. I put it in my bag when I left just now. Why can't I find it? "
Bai Yang glanced at Tan Fei and then shifted his gaze to Chen Mo. He lowered his voice and whispered into Chen Mo's ear, "Captain, do you think she's up to no good?"
Chen Mo looked at Tan Fei. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose. Her eyes were completely focused on rummaging through the bag, and it didn't look like she was faking it.
He shook his head and said calmly, "Let's take a look first."
