Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 673 - 330: The Story of the Hu Family Mother and Daughter_2

Once she removed herself, severing completely from the past.

Thus, in the later generations, only Shi Xinyu remained.

However, the identity and past belonging to Hu Xinran were not completely erased; some clues were left behind. For instance, her mother was named Hu Hui, suggesting she shared the same surname as her mother.

As for why she did not take her father's surname, that remains unknown.

Her mother's residence before her death was registered.

Previously, when investigating Deng Kaiwen's cause of death, Luo Fei only focused on Shi Xinyu's basic information and did not investigate further, thus missing this detail.

Considering the fact that she changed her name to Shi Xinyu after the death of her parents, there seems to be hidden motives behind everything.

Furthermore, one must personally go there to find out what really happened years ago.

Luo Fei could wait no longer and rushed out with Lin Jie immediately.

Because he had an intuition that this matter was closely related to Deng Kaiwen.

Upon reaching their destination, the two headed towards the residential area.

This was an old residential neighborhood, but with decent infrastructure, the living conditions were still quite good.

Following the address they had found, they went straight to a household where Hu Hui and Hu Xinran had once lived, although it now had new owners.

Logically, there was no need to investigate, as new owners typically wouldn't care about the past.

Suddenly Luo Fei thought of something!

If they had lived here, such a significant matter as life and death must have been heard by the neighbors, so why not start with them!

Thus, he tried knocking on the opposite door and, to his surprise, someone was indeed home.

Since this complex was fitted with elevators, it comprised two units per floor, making the neighbor possibly the only one around.

The household across the way was occupied by a woman in her fifties.

Upon seeing Luo Fei and Lin Jie, she wore a cautious expression.

"Officers, is there something wrong?"

Seeing this, Luo Fei quickly stated his purpose.

Initially, the woman was still a bit anxious, but upon learning they were investigating matters concerning Hu Hui and Hu Xinran, her expression changed instantly, and she invited them in quickly.

It seemed she had much to say, hence the change in her attitude and her sudden warmth.

"Officers, why have you suddenly come to investigate Xiaohui and Xinran? Has something major happened?"

"It's like this, regarding Hu Xinran, due to her involvement in a case, we need to look into past events and understand some things about her mother."

By this point, Luo Fei and Lin Jie had a rough idea in their hearts.

Deng Kaiwen's issue likely involved two generations, and maybe his father Deng Chao also had a romantic history here once upon a time.

Such situations are not uncommon; love-related murders are frequent, but when it involves obscure ethical issues, it becomes interesting.

"Xiaohui... Sigh, she and Xinran really had a bitter life."

The woman looked melancholic, as if she were talking about her daughter who married out, with a look of grievance and regret in her eyes.

"Twelve years ago, when Xiaohui was still around and Xinran was just eight, they lived here, and I have heard their story. Truly a woman of misfortune, the child's father abandoned them early on. Such a heartless man, if I knew about this scoundrel's situation, I would..."

Listening to her vividly recounting these past scenes, Luo Fei and Lin Jie could only smile awkwardly, then reminded her to stay on topic.

When she returned to the matter, her expression became serious.

"At the time, a man came around here. It seemed he had feelings for Xiaohui, so they started dating."

As she reached this point, a look of happiness crossed her face, as if it was related to her personally.

The storytelling style made it awkward for Luo Fei and Lin Jie, but they couldn't interrupt and simply listened quietly.

But the tale had to stop there!

Because Luo Fei thought this man must be problematic, he took out his phone and pulled up a photo of Deng Chao.

"Ma'am, please take a look, is it this person?"

She glanced, then frowned and shook her head.

"No, no, not that old, it looks a bit exaggerated."

Luo Fei suddenly remembered that Deng Chao shouldn't have been that old over a decade ago, so he intended to look for more pictures, but the woman suddenly added.

"But a bit older, it does resemble somewhat, but definitely not this face."

Her words gave Luo Fei and Lin Jie a hint. If it certainly wasn't that face, then it shouldn't be Deng Chao himself.

However, the slight resemblance echoed like a clue in their minds, prompting their reflection.

With this realization, their expressions changed, and their breathing grew rapid.

"Leader, could it be..."

"Hard to say, but not impossible."

Luo Fei pulled out another photo from his phone, took a deep breath, and handed it to her.

"Ma'am, please take a look, is it this person?"

The face in the photo was, unsurprisingly, Deng Kaiwen, making the two now tense with nervousness.

Although it seemed unlikely, the facts potentially converged in that direction.

"Oh yes, looks a bit older, but the eyes and brows were unmistakable, yes! That's him!"

"He was Xiaohui's boyfriend back then."

The woman's eyes brimmed with excitement, as if she recalled everything.

Luo Fei and Lin Jie were utterly petrified.

Twelve years ago, Deng Kaiwen and Hu Hui were together.

Later, Hu Hui died, and Hu Xinran changed her name to Shi Xinyu.

Ten years later, Shi Xinyu and Deng Kaiwen got together again, with an age difference of eighteen years between them!

Two years later, Deng Kaiwen died as well, as if it were a curse.

But... it felt more like a cycle of fate.

Suddenly the phone rang, Xiaocheng was calling.

"Leader Luo, I've traced the origin of those hallucinogenic drugs. They are almost unavailable here in Jiangzhou, so to obtain such drugs, they must be purchased externally, but the channels are illegal, hence buyer information could be pinpointed."

Luo Fei smiled slightly. When the nation needs security, the public security organs demonstrate their resourcefulness and power.

"Who is it?"

"Shi Xinyu!"

Luo Fei smiled a bit, then glanced at Lin Jie beside him, both nodding simultaneously.

"Arrest her!"

Fourteen hours later, on the following morning, Shi Xinyu sat in the interrogation room.

"Speak, why did you kill your boyfriend?"

Zhang Wei looked stern and serious.

The girl before him was only twenty, yet her actions were horrific, using hallucinogens to kill invisibly, substituting drugs, and exploiting her boyfriend's preferences to trap him in his incense-induced obsession, dying heart-pierced by a dining knife in a deadly setting.

This was a thoroughly accomplished locked-room crime, but the long arm of the law caught her in the end.

Seeing Zhang Wei's demeanor, Shi Xinyu across from him suddenly laughed.

At this moment, she abandoned her previously calm appearance before Luo Fei, replaced by a crazed beauty with a sinister smile.

"Boyfriend?"

"He was my enemy, all of this was his doing, a self-inflicted punishment."

At this point, Shi Xinyu's gaze suddenly turned sorrowful.

Zhang Wei and his colleagues, seeing her dramatic performance, grew somewhat impatient.

"Speak properly, explain why you killed, and your specific crime details."

"No problem."

Shi Xinyu sighed deeply.

The people present were taken aback, with Zhang Wei scratching his head, baffled at her behavior in such a situation, wondering what she was up to now?

"I'll tell you everything you want to know!"

"But before that, I would like to tell you a story, a story of a heartless man and a devoted woman."

"This was still twelve years ago…"
