Chapter 2711: Lug the Safe
She brought the safe to the locksmith but was told that they couldn’t open it, either.
Ning Shu had no choice but to put the safe on her shoulders and carry it to the police station to get a specialist at the police station to open it.
She said that there might be some evidence in it and asked the police to open it.
The police asked the officers from their technical department to open the safe. “If this safe is from your house, how could you not know what the password is?”
Ning Shu spread her hands. “This is Cheng Fei’s safe. I really don’t know what the password is.”
They were husband and wife, but while Cheng Fei inserted himself in every aspect of Ai Yun’s life and strictly surveilled her, Ai Yun barely knew anything about Cheng Fei’s daily life.
This wasn’t an equal relationship. It felt more like Cheng Fei regarded Ai Yun as his appendage.
Ai Yun might even be just a beautiful accessory to Cheng Fei.
A beautiful amber accessory…
He probably thought of her as an object he owned.
Cheng Fei did care about Ai Yun, though. Even though he was detained, he still reminded Ning Shu to get a tetanus shot.
It was like he was caring for a precious thing.
A thing, it must be noted, and not a person with their own life.
As they were working on opening the safe, Ning Shu asked, “How is the investigation of the kidnapping case going? Has there been any progress?”
“The dean of the university is urging us to close the case. If we indict Li Chen, this case will be as good as closed,” the policeman said.
“Has Li Chen confessed anything new?” Ning Shu asked.
“He said that the reason why he went to the coffee shop was because he wanted to be somewhere further away. He was too scared to carry out his plan while being surrounded by acquaintances. That’s why he found that coffee shop.”
Ning Shu: …
This reason…
“Since Li Chen himself doesn’t care about his own future, why should we continue wasting effort investigating further? He’s willing to bear the blame alone in any case,” the policeman said, rather irritatedly.
“This case has dragged on for more than it should’ve. This is seriously dragging our case solved rate down.”
The attitude of the policeman made it clear to Ning Shu that they obviously didn’t want to investigate this case any further. They wanted to indict Li Chen as the main culprit of the crime.
However, if they didn’t investigate it, how were they going to charge Cheng Fei with the crime of instigating a kidnapping?
When the safe was finally opened, Ning Shu took the bankbook and flipped through it. There was a lot of money recorded in it. Cheng Fei seemed to have been relying on this bankbook since he was twelve.
Every once in a while, there was a record of money withdrawal.
Could this be the money Cheng Fei inherited from his adoptive parents?
Ning Shu opened the other thing in the safe: a brown paper file. It contained the results of two medical examinations, a blood type match document, and a prediction of transplant rejection.
In short, these two were approved to undergo heart transplant surgery.
These documents were evidence enough that the Chinese-American couple had adopted Cheng Fei for his heart.
However, a fire suddenly broke out and all three members of their family were killed.
Even the five-year-old girl, who needed a heart transplant, died.
Hence, the chosen heart donor, Cheng Fei, naturally no longer needed to die.
He, who was born with a healthy heart, had almost been forced to live with a sick one.
Even setting aside the issue of the possible transplant rejection, Cheng Fei’s future would’ve been in question because of the unhealthy heart he’d receive.
He’d never know when he’d die.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but wonder how Cheng Fei was feeling as he made the decision to keep these documents.
If Ning Shu had only been 50% sure that Cheng Fei had killed his adoptive parents before, she was now 90% sure of it.
The death of his adoptive parents gave him an inheritance and made sure that he wouldn’t need to donate his heart.
He had a strong motive and much to gain from the crime.
Ning Shu gave the documents to the police and said, “Cheng Fei may have killed his adoptive family.”
