Chapter 165 - Turning Light Into Darkness

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Feng and Li Tong secretly investigated for some days and found that the woman had been telling the truth about buying gifts.

However, after buying the gifts, they did not know where Wu Wei actually went.

Just the clue of buying gifts alone was not enough to prove that Wu Wei had a sufficient alibi for that day.

It could only prove that Wu Wei had arrived at the crime scene later that day.

However, until now, the time of death of the victim was still doubtful.

He Feng and Li Tong had been investigating this matter for nearly three days, but it seemed that someone was interfering with their investigation.

When He Feng returned home at night, it was already close to midnight.

Shao Xiang was carrying a basin and was about to go to the kitchen to pour some hot water.

The weather had been cold recently, and every house had a heater. The air in the house was hot and dry.

Shao Xiang saw He Feng and was stunned for a moment before saying, “You’re back. Fang Ya is waiting for you.”

He Feng nodded and walked quickly into the main house.

Fang Ya was in the living room, sitting beside a lit lamp. She was reading a book and waiting for He Feng.

He Feng pushed the door open and entered. When he saw Fang Ya, his gaze swept in the direction of the inner house.

Fang Ya said to He Feng gently, “Tang Tang is already asleep. Come and sit.”

He Feng nodded and walked over to sit beside Fang Ya.

Fang Ya put down the book. “How is it? Any progress?”

He Feng nodded and said, “We have indeed found some information in the past few days, but…”

Fang Ya frowned slightly when she heard He Feng’s words.

He Feng’s words were not enough. Clearly, there were still some problems.

Fang Ya looked at He Feng and asked softly, “So now, all evidence points to Wu Wei?”

He Feng nodded and did not explain further.

Fang Ya bit her lower lip. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?”

“The purpose is…” Fang Ya did not know why she had such a thought in her mind, but this feeling had been particularly strong recently.

“You mean that someone wants to use Wu Wei’s issue to threaten us?” He Feng continued Fang Ya’s words.

Fang Ya did not continue, but she vaguely felt that the person behind this matter should be after He Feng or herself.

The two of them looked at each other silently. He Feng pondered for a moment and said, “If we force this conflict out into the open, will it provoke the other party?”

“How do we do that?” Fang Ya did not understand what He Feng meant.

“If the other party wants to threaten us from the dark, why don’t we answer to them in the open?” He Feng hesitated for a moment and said, “We actively participate in Wu Wei’s case and show our concern.

“The other party knows that we are anxious about Wu Wei’s matter, so they shouldn’t find other trouble for the time being,” He Feng said, but he did not seem certain with himself.

He Feng had such thoughts, and some of them were actually part of the gamble.

He was not sure what the other party’s goal was, but it seemed that the other party was just trying to disrupt the order of things on his side.

He Feng and the others had been focusing on the issue of digging out the spies around Nie Jun, and now that Wu Wei was in trouble, it was obvious that the other party wanted to interfere with them.

Since the other party was planning to do this, then they would tackle Nie Jun’s side of the matter in the dark.

Perhaps, they might be able to achieve better results?

Fang Ya looked at He Feng and drew in a deep breath.

She didn’t know if her thoughts were correct, but at the moment, perhaps doing this would be able to solve the problem faster.

But, how should they tell Nie Jun about this matter?

And would Nie Jun agree?

After all, if they could not catch the person behind Taifeng this time, there might be endless trouble in the future!

Fang Ya and He Feng sat quietly in the dark night.. There were thousands of thoughts in their minds, but at the moment, they weren’t sure which one was correct!
