On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
" Li Yan said as he was about to throw the knife into the trash can, but at this time Chen Mo suddenly noticed something wrong! He continued to wander around the dark crime scene for half an hour, until the time came to 0:00, but still did not see anyone who looked like the murderer. Even if there are no clues, even if everything seems to be forgotten, he still stubbornly pursues that faint hope, and sometimes he doesn't even know why he persists so much.
Chapter 11
The murderer...
where is he!
At this moment, Su Huirong saw that Li Yan was still holding a knife in his hand, and immediately asked curiously: "Where did you pick up this knife?
Why is it so dirty?
""Oh, I forgot.
I don't know who threw this knife at the entrance of the sewer.
It blocked a lot of garbage there, causing more water on the road.
When I picked it up just now, I happened to see Chen Mo and forgot to throw it away.
" Li Yan said as he was about to throw the knife into the trash can, but at this time Chen Mo suddenly noticed something wrong!
"Wait a minute, Teacher Li, let me take a look at this knife.
" Chen Mo stopped him immediately.
"What's so good about this dirty thing?
" Li Yan turned the knife over with some doubt, and handed it to Chen Mo with the tip facing inward and the handle facing outward.
These are purely subconscious actions, and it can be seen from this that Teacher Li is indeed a gentle and friendly person.
Chen Mo took the fruit knife and looked at the blade carefully.
His face changed instantly.
The light was dim before, so he couldn't see clearly.
He didn't expect that the blade of the fruit knife was slightly curled in some areas.
It was obvious that Zhou Hao had used it to cut something hard.
For this kind of knife with a curved blade, even if the degree of curvature is only small, there will be a relatively obvious difference in the incision made on the human body.
There was no explanation in this regard in the forensic report, which means that the fruit knife used in the crime was not this fruit knife with a slightly curved blade, and I had identified the wrong murder weapon!
After all, this kind of fruit knife is not a special knife.
It is not surprising that some families have the same one.
However, it is really too coincidental that the same fruit knife appeared at the same crime scene on such a rainy night.
It’s no wonder that Chen Mo made a mistake.
After all, he could never have imagined that on such a stormy night, two different people would appear in the same area with two similar fruit knives.
He immediately turned his wrist and glanced at the time on it.
It was already 23 p.
m.
"No, we have to go back quickly.
Maybe the real murderer has just appeared now!
"Chen Mo was anxious and quickly handed the towel back to Su Huirong, saying, "I'm sorry, Teacher Li, it's a little late.
I won't bother you any longer.
I have to go home quickly.
I'll borrow your raincoat first.
"Chen Mo put the hilt of the knife in Li Yan's hand, put on his raincoat and immediately rushed into the heavy rain.
Li Yan didn't even have time to talk to him.
"The road is slippery in this heavy rain, please walk slowly!
" Li Yan could only shout as loud as he could.
But the rain was so heavy that Chen Mo didn't hear what he said.
Even so, Chen Mo knew that Teacher Li must be saying some caring words.
"You idiot, you almost scared me to death.
You actually brought a boy back.
Fortunately, you didn't use the key to open the door directly.
" After seeing Chen Mo's figure disappear, Su Huirong looked at Li Yan with a blushing face and said.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
Look at the weather.
The child is already soaked.
How can I bear to see him staying alone in that broken awning to avoid the rain?
" Li Yan said with a wry smile.
"Where are the things?
Have you bought them?
" Su Huirong didn't care, but looked at Li Yan again and asked shyly.
These two have been married for two years, but they still get along like a newlywed couple, which is very rare.
Li Yan smiled sheepishly and said, "I ran into that kid when I got there.
I was too embarrassed to buy in front of him.
Why not just order takeout?
In this weather, I'm afraid I can't handle it without a raincoat or an umbrella.
""How can we order takeout for this?
It's so embarrassing," Su Huirong said with a blushing face.
"It's okay, I'll ask him to leave it at the door and bring it in after everyone leaves.
The delivery guy has never seen us before and doesn't know who we are," Li Yan said after thinking for a moment.
"Yeah.
" Su Huirong finally compromised.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort to celebrate the third anniversary of their acquaintance tonight in such a grand manner.
After all, the two of them have no plans to have children in the past two years...
In the rain, Chen Mo ran all the way back to the scene of the crime.
There was no one around, so he walked around several times.
Although many people passed by, most of them were in a hurry and did not look like they would stop to commit a crime.
Soon it was 23:30 p.
m.
and the streets were empty.
He took out his cell phone and checked the surveillance footage - Su Yuqing was still curled up on the sofa, but she was a little sleepy and kept squinting her eyes and nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
But in a half-asleep state, she suddenly glanced at the door, and when she saw that Chen Mo had not come back, she rubbed her eyes and persisted.
Chen Mo pulled open the brim of his raincoat and let the rain hit his face.
"Where is the murderer...?
" He clenched his fists, the hem of his raincoat was blown up by the wind, and mud and water splashed all over his trouser legs.
Chen Mo's steps became heavier and heavier, so he simply took off his raincoat, which he was not used to wearing.
He continued to wander around the dark crime scene for half an hour, until the time came to 0:00, but still did not see anyone who looked like the murderer.
He didn't even see anyone else in this half hour.
The rain kept washing his wet clothes, and the cold water droplets hit his face like countless tiny whips, each of which made his heart ache.
Heavy rain was raging all around, the streets were empty, and only the occasional lightning streaked across the sky, bringing a ray of light to the dark night.
However, the scene before him made Chen Mo feel even more depressed.
He had been wandering around the crime scene for such a long time, but the surroundings were so empty.
Apart from the sounds of rain, wind and thunder, he could hear nothing else.
There is no possibility that the murderer would appear.
Chen Mo let the rain wash over him like a tide, not caring about the wet and cold feeling all over his body.
Because at this moment, his heart had already been occupied by another kind of coldness - the kind of powerless coldness that could not find an answer.
"How is it possible...
Did I really miss it?
" Chen Mo muttered to himself, his voice sounding particularly weak in the rain.
Even though the murderer had not committed a crime here in this life, he still wanted to know what kind of person would commit such a crime.
Moreover, this kind of person is a very dangerous potential criminal.
Chen Mo feels that it is impossible for him to keep Su Yuqing by his side all the time.
It is very likely that under the arrangement of fate, Su Yuqing will be met by him again and hurt by him again.
Chen Mo does not want to give up just like that.
Over the years, he has read through the files time and time again, conducted investigations time and time again, and endured countless days and nights of torment.
This case is the pain in his heart.
Even if there are no clues, even if everything seems to be forgotten, he still stubbornly pursues that faint hope, and sometimes he doesn't even know why he persists so much.
