Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 527 - 260: The Mysterious Third Party

Chapter 527: Chapter 260: The Mysterious Third Party
"Hmm?"
Angie was also aware of Zhang Tai’s death, so she wasn’t surprised when the police came over. She expected they would ask about some basic information and the nature of their relationship.
But to her surprise, the mysterious-looking officer in front of her asked first about her attitude toward Zhang Tai!
This caught her off guard, differing from what she initially expected.
"Uh, officer, I don’t quite understand."
"You understand very well, my question is simple. I want to know if you really liked him, this prospect arranged by your parents. Although not necessarily leading to marriage, you were bound together by a twist of fate... Did you like him?"
The sudden question left Angie silent for a moment.
Soon, she raised her head and looked seriously at Luo Fei. Since he had asked seriously, she needed to answer seriously.
"Yes, I liked him from the first time I met him."
"Not just because his looks met my standards, but also because of his demeanor and attitude toward me."
"Attitude?"
Zhou Fan was puzzled by her response.
"Are you saying he was indifferent to you and frequently had conflicts? Miss An, do you have a masochistic tendency?"
"No, that’s just superficial."
Angie first lowered her head and calmly refuted Zhou Fan’s words, then earnestly explained everything.
"I’m not obsessed with him, but I do like him. I wanted to delve into his heart, but in this situation, I had no other way. However, he was different; he didn’t misuse or indulge my affection. More than once, he plainly told me no."
He never had a relationship with me, but every time he asked me to keep my distance. He was very resolute in his refusals, but because of his parents, he had to put on an act with me."
Hearing her words, Zhou Fan was a bit taken aback.
He hadn’t expected Zhang Tai to be such a stand-up guy!
"I understand... Now, there’s something else!"
Luo Fei nodded.
"On the night of the incident, you went to his hotel. I’d like to know what you were there for. According to surveillance, you left soon after and seemed emotionally disturbed. Could you tell us in detail what happened then?"
Finally getting to the crux, Angie sighed softly.
"That night, I wanted to hash things out with him, but it was fruitless. He still didn’t want to develop any further relationship, claiming everything was due to his parents, so I left angrily..."
"Does he have a habit of taking sleeping pills?"
"Sleeping pills?"
Angie was initially startled, then thoughtfully began to recount.
"A little. He rarely had insomnia, but when he did, he’d have headaches, so he asked a doctor to prescribe some pills and kept them on hand."
"I see..."
Luo Fei fell into deep thought.
It seemed he took them himself, which seemed more likely.
After all, arguing with a woman and ending things, his mood was bound to be poor, making such medicine necessary for sleep.
Yet, there was still a very serious issue!
"Miss An, did you know Zhang Tai had an SM fetish?"
"I knew."
The question was shocking enough, but the answer even more so.
Zhou Fan was stunned, given their generally strained relationship, with frequent conflicts. Why would Zhang Tai confide such a private hobby to her?
"Hold on... I need to use the restroom."
With that, Angie stood up and left.
Zhou Fan grabbed Luo Fei.
"Old Luo, this is too strange; why would Zhang Tai tell her that? Isn’t this perverse!"
"When we went to his parents’ house earlier, I noticed the bedroom setup. He was completely open, with everything out in the open. If even his parents were aware, it’s no surprise the woman they forcibly paired him with would know too..."
"In other words, Zhang Tai likely didn’t care and had come to terms with his fetish."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan was greatly surprised.
"Is that so? I really didn’t notice."
Luo Fei indeed stood out, focusing on chatting with Zhang Tai’s parents earlier without noticing this detail.
Soon, Angie returned.
"Officers, regarding Zhang Tai’s fetish, I was aware. Initially, he hoped to deter me, so he shared that with me."
"But to me, it was nothing, so I didn’t mind."
With this, both Luo Fei and Zhou Fan were greatly shocked.
This woman seemed very open-minded in this aspect, with no prejudice whatsoever.
Nowadays, many people in society find such topics difficult to discuss, perhaps due to environmental factors making them deeply secretive.
"Did you have conversations with him about this?"
"No, I just bought him a lot of related things, as gifts. That’s one reason we’re still technically in a relationship, because I respected his preferences."
This suggested the suspicion wasn’t quite as strong.
A woman who could accept the fetish of the man she loved, despite unreciprocated feelings, naturally showed great open-mindedness, coupled with the possibility she was indeed unaware.
The cause of Zhang Tai’s death remained to be investigated, but for now, they had completed their questioning.
