Chapter 1119: Chapter 553: Going Straight to the Point? An Abrupt Request (2)
Gao Changyuan’s tone was quite serious.
His face showed a trace of solemnity.
Even with such words,
the crowd couldn’t accept it.
After all, in their minds, Ruan Shaomei
was a goddess of sorts.
But even this goddess,
her original appearance was actually like this.
This left several young men quite astounded.
Especially the guy who rewarded her with a hundred thousand.
He was utterly stunned, shocked beyond belief.
Luo Fei reminded,
"If any of you have live broadcast recordings or replays, you can provide them to the police. Including your previous transaction and reward records. If you can find them, send screenshots or print them out for me. Also, include copies of your IDs."
"I will take these and help you arrange for a lawyer to assist in a joint lawsuit."
Luo Fei genuinely wanted to seek justice for them.
However, the few young men felt a bit awkward.
"Officer, we were indeed deceived and want justice."
"But, can we remain anonymous?"
"Yes, after all, if this kind of thing gets exposed, it might affect our reputation and work-life. Not to mention, we are all married..."
Understanding their embarrassment,
Luo Fei continued,
"But gentlemen, if your personal information can’t be disclosed, the police might find it difficult to help you get back the reward money."
Luo Fei’s suggestion was surprising,
yet the young men were terribly embarrassed.
"Officer, honestly, liking Ruan Xiaomei and then being deceived, it’s not solely her fault."
"It was us getting carried away, making the wrong judgement. So even if we have to pay a price, it’s understandable."
Seeing their evasive glances,
seeming at a loss of what to do,
Luo Fei sternly said,
"I’ll strive to keep your personal information confidential. However, you also have to cooperate fully with the police investigation. After all, this involves a murder case."
"It’s not something that can be solved with just a few words."
Luo Fei’s analysis,
made them tense instantly,
their expressions becoming increasingly uneasy.
But since they were already involved, there’s no turning back,
whereas Gao Changyuan, on the side,
after they completed their statements and left contact information,
asked Luo Fei,
"Mr. Luo, do you think it’s possible that someone thought my wife was too much, deceiving their feelings, and therefore did such an outrageous act?"
"It’s possible."
Luo Fei clearly remembered,
the announcement on Ruan Shaomei’s live room page was stating,
she planned to show her face after reaching 200,000 followers.
Including all fans, anyone gifting 100,000 could meet her.
Therefore, the person who killed her might be one of those few big fans giving over 100,000 in gifts on the list.
"Hello? This is Jiayue Media Co., Ltd. Who’s calling?"
Just then,
as Luo Fei dialed the live stream site’s official customer service number,
a somewhat delicate female voice came through.
The other party’s tone was unhurried.
Luo Fei simply explained the situation.
"Miss, we’re investigating the case concerning Ruan Shaomei being harmed."
"Additionally, regarding her previous deception using face-swapping tech on the live site, I hope your site can cooperate actively and give us a proper solution."
"Buzz—"
But before Luo Fei could finish,
the call was disconnected.
Initially, Gao Changyuan was a bit angry.
He assumed the streaming company took the money,
and intended to shirk responsibility and walk away.
However, shortly after, Luo Fei received a call.
"Hello officer, not long ago, Huang Feifei communicated with us about Mr. Luo’s case investigation. I also agree that Mr. Luo is right. It’s entirely correct to dig into this and actively investigate the case."
"No matter what help you need next, our company will fully cooperate and actively assist you in the investigation."
Understanding the other party’s intent,
Luo Fei was somewhat surprised.
"Manager, I didn’t expect you to be so reasonable, willing to cooperate with our police in-depth investigation. That’s quite unexpected."
Luo Fei’s remark was filled with surprise.
But the other party firmly replied,
"Officer, regarding Ruan Shaomei’s matter, our MCN company internally discussed that there seems to be some doubt, but since the police already gave investigation results, our higher-ups didn’t want extra complications, so we didn’t pursue it further."
Understanding the other party’s intention,
Luo Fei chuckled.
"Sir, I assure you, our police are conducting serious, in-depth investigations. We genuinely hope to reveal the case details through thorough probing."
"To better reconstruct the case’s history."
Hearing Luo Fei’s words, Manager Cai’s response was indifferent.
"Officer, frankly speaking, we previously collected some personal data on the gift leaderboard. If required, we can organize and send it to you."
"Also, although the top gifter to Ruan Shaomei’s account is now deactivated, we still have some account records, which can help investigate further if he relates to Ruan Shaomei’s case."
Manager Cai sincerely stated, his attitude cordial and genuine.
But Luo Fei sensed something.
"Manager Cai, be honest with me, are you so dedicated to this matter just because you value the police judgment?"
Luo Fei asked with a subtle tone.
The other side was terribly embarrassed,
and awkwardly explained,
"Officer, I admit my question might be a bit abrupt."
"However, if I say our streaming company also encountered some problems, now seeks police covert investigation assistance, would you help?"
Cai Wenzhuo said.
Luo Fei sensed something from his words.
"Ah, so, Mr. Cai, you’re asking for my help, bringing this up hoping for my assistance?"
At that moment,
seeing Luo Fei’s surprise,
unexpectedly making such a request,
Cai Wenzhuo said,
"Officer, frankly, though our streaming site allows anyone to register, there are some foreign lawbreakers who register and broadcast on our platform. They often use mobile IPs, making tracking difficult. So, even if suspicious, banning them quickly is but a drop in the ocean."
"And maybe it’s because the scammers are so rampant, more people are fraudulently swapping faces for scams. Consequently, several local broadcasters, originally decent, streaming on our site, are questioned about potential scam ties, with rumors swirling wildly. This has brought unwelcomed repercussions to our company, which is not something we want."
Cai Wenzhuo elaborated,
and Luo Fei finally understood the issue at hand.
"I see, Manager Cai, you’re hoping for police intervention to help solve the streaming company’s issues?"
Luo Fei anticipated, sensing excitement.
Cai Wenzhuo was slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry, Mr. Luo, I know my request might be abrupt."
