Chapter 988 - 488: An Inevitable Showdown? All Just Actors?
"Hello Mr. Luo, my name is Milia. I’m glad to meet you here, though I didn’t expect it. This time, your Great Xia Country actually sent elite police officers over."
Looking at the other party’s stern face, the tone was meaningful.
Saying these words,
It was obvious she was a bit unhappy.
And felt a bit at a loss about the sudden visit.
Luo Fei also shook his head with a smile.
"Miss Milia, isn’t this the norm?"
But he heard a hint of significance in her words.
It seemed there was another intention.
Milia couldn’t help but frown.
"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this?"
Luo Fei answered earnestly.
"Miss Milia, Am I not stating the facts?"
"If your local police truly had the ability and were efficient enough, then perhaps the embassy wouldn’t have actively contacted us, asking the police of Great Xia to assist you."
Luo Fei’s retort almost darkened her face instantly.
"Mr. Luo, even if that’s the case, as officers, you’re just here to assist us. You have no law enforcement authority here."
"I am aware of that."
But the next second, before Milia could repeat the declaration of their authority,
Luo Fei had already spoken with a smile.
"I’m well aware that I have no law enforcement authority here. I’ve also stated this to the embassy staff."
"However, they repeatedly emphasized that this incident has badly affected local tourism. Even if we can’t investigate the case, acting as consultants and assisting your police investigation is acceptable."
"That’s why Li Yu and I decided to come over, treating it as a business trip, a tour, to relax a bit."
Luo Fei’s words,
Immediately made Milia somewhat agitated.
"Mr. Luo, what do you mean by this?"
"It’s just the literal meaning."
Luo Fei spoke very seriously.
Simultaneously explained further.
"After all, we truly have no enforcement power, so Li Yu and I are just here to unwind."
But the more Luo Fei spoke like this,
The more the other party felt,
He is deliberately mocking how ineffective the local police are.
This made Milia almost instantly feel embarrassed.
"Moreover, fortunately, we’re here. Li Yu and I have come to further realize that the person who arrived on Rob Island wasn’t Lady Lin but an actress hired by Luo Qingping."
This analysis,
Made Milia think she misheard.
"Hang on, Mr. Luo, what did you say?"
"I’m serious."
Luo Fei said very seriously.
"Just earlier, we visited the rooms where Luo Qingping and his companion stayed."
"Based on the evidence we gathered and various circumstances, I can affirm that Lady Lin was kidnapped before coming to the island."
Only after Luo Fei presented the evidence,
Offering substantial clues,
Milia was somewhat dazed.
"Wait a moment, after all this effort, this turns out to be an abduction case happening domestically in your Great Xia Country?"
"Hardly related to our Rob Island?"
Milia truly hadn’t anticipated that after working hard for so long,
She ended up with such a result.
After all this time, it turns out her effort was in vain.
Seeing Milia’s hesitation,
Her gaze dimming, complexion also turning worse,
Luo Fei smiled as he corrected her.
"Miss Milia, actually, strictly speaking, such words are not quite accurate."
"Because in this case, one of the kidnappers is indeed someone from here."
Luo Fei said, smilingly shaking his head.
This immediately piqued Milia’s strong interest.
"Mr. Luo, if I understand correctly, you mean this kidnapping was orchestrated by Luo Qingping and a temporary actor?"
"Moreover, he specifically contacted the other party beforehand and facilitated this cross-national crime?"
Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied it.
"Miss Milia, actually you’re quite smart. So strictly speaking, our investigation into this case requires a two-pronged approach."
"On one hand, our Great Xia police will actively investigate the case, trying to find the victim soon. On the other hand, we also need your Rob Island police to actively cooperate with us, searching for the waiter who suddenly disappeared from this restaurant."
Luo Fei’s words made Milia see hope once again.
Thus she promptly agreed.
"Mr. Luo, I understand your point completely. Rest assured that our police will actively cooperate with you. We definitely won’t let you down."
Seeing Milia agree,
Luo Fei finally slightly relaxed.
"Miss Milia, it’s great that you’re willing to cooperate with me."
As Luo Fei agreed,
Milia also felt relieved.
But she was also a bit embarrassed.
"Mr. Luo, speaking of which, we were able to rapidly uncover the key to this case thanks to you."
"Had you not taken the initiative, we would probably struggle to accomplish this. So regarding my earlier inappropriate remarks, I wish to apologize to you personally."
Hearing Milia’s sincere tone,
Luo Fei smiled it off.
"Miss Milia, you overthink."
"I was merely stating objective facts. You were just doing the task you ought to do."
"However, if Li Yu and I interfered with your law enforcement, then you should truly be upset. But now, we are just ordinary tourists here on vacation. We’re not even wearing our uniforms."
