You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 241

“I’ll go with you. I’ve assisted the FBI in solving cases before, so I might be able to help you. Just take it as returning the favor for introducing a potential customer to me,” Bai Rong proposed.

Firstly, she genuinely wanted to help. Secondly, Cheng Jinrong’s ex-girlfriend’s father had a unique identity, and she wanted to use this opportunity to better understand things.

“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you then,” Cheng Jinrong apologized.

“It’s no trouble at all.”

Half an hour later, Cheng Jinrong drove into a private area located in the city center.

Bai Rong’s keen eyes took in their surroundings. The houses here looked very old from the outside and were about twenty meters apart from each other. The residents here had placed fences around their respective houses, creating parking space for their cars. There were also vegetable plantations, street lights, and surveillance cameras.

The police were stopped in front of Cheng Jinrong’s ex-girlfriend’s house and had also put up a barricade at the door.

Cheng Jinrong was about to go in, but an officer stopped him and said sternly, “The police are collecting evidence. This is the first scene of crime, so no one is allowed to enter.”

“I’m the victim’s boyfriend. I have the right to see her,” Cheng Jinrong argued angrily.

“Jinrong! Jinrong!” the victim’s mother called out.

Disregarding the police officer’s warning, Cheng Jinrong rushed in.

When Bai Rong, who was following behind him all this time, noticed the officer hesitating, she quickly walked in as well.

“Jinrong, Wei died such a horrible death. Who would do this to her?” Chen Wei’s mother sobbed violently.

“Where is Wei?” Cheng Jinrong asked solemnly.

“In her room,” replied Chen Wei’s father who had a frown on his face as he lowered his head.

Bai Rong cast a brief glance at Chen Wei’s father. He was smoking, and the hand holding the cigarette was trembling slightly.

“Who would kill our daughter? We’ve never offended anyone.” Chen Wei’s mother just couldn’t fathom who would do such a thing.

A complicated look flashed in her husband’s eyes that moment. “I’m going outside to finish this cigarette.”

Bai Rong side-eyed Cheng Jinrong and found that he had already gone into the room.

Wei was lying on her bed with a knife stabbed into her heart, which was no doubt what ended her life on the spot.

She was holding her phone tightly in her hand. Nothing in the room was out of place, and there were no signs of struggle either.

At that moment, Cheng Jinrong wanted to hug Wei, but an officer stopped him. “Please don’t touch the victim. You’ll destroy the evidence.”

Cheng Jinrong paused in his steps to look at Bai Rong with eyes that were slightly red. “Is that true?”

Bai Rong nodded. “It’s best not to touch anything at the first scene where the murder was committed. The more uncontaminated evidence collected, the better.”

“For us to find the murderer as soon as possible, I’ll have to ask you two to leave,” the officer said in a clipped tone.

Without a choice, Cheng Jinrong walked out of the room in a daze.

“Jinrong, you have to help Wei find the murderer,” Chen Wei’s mother wailed as she clasped Cheng Jinrong’s hand in hers.

“I will,” Cheng Jinrong reassured her and shot Bai Rong a pleading look.

Bai Rong nodded brusquely and went outside. There, she saw Chen Wei’s father talking on his phone. He was very agitated and even threw his phone onto the ground before smashing his head against a tree.

Seeing that, she instantly walked to a corner to dial Gu Mingchen’s number.
