On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
" Chen Mo lifted Li Tie's arm slightly, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. " Chen Mo immediately responded loudly, while slightly loosening his grip on Li Tie, but still maintaining a restraining stance to prevent him from suddenly attacking.

Chapter 153
Who is the real murderer?
"I told you, don't struggle.
This way you'll suffer less.
" Chen Mo lifted Li Tie's arm slightly, causing him to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"I...
I didn't struggle!
" Li Tie cried out in his heart, feeling wronged.
After all, I hadn't moved at all.
"Your struggle with words is still a struggle.
Now, you answer whatever I ask, unless you can't answer...
""Ahhh, stop, stop, stop!
I'll answer whatever you say, okay?
My arm is really going to break!
" Li Tie wailed in pain.
"Then tell me about what happened last Friday night.
" Chen Mo loosened his grip slightly, giving Li Tie a chance to catch his breath.
However, the moment he finished asking the question, he started to exert force again.
Li Tie was terrified and hurriedly cried out, "What time was it last Friday night?!
""You should start talking from six o'clock!
""I started eating and drinking with my employees at the warehouse at six o'clock and continued until nine o'clock at night.
Then we slept in the warehouse!
" Li Tie said quickly.
"You dare to lie to me!
" Chen Mo suddenly exerted force again, and Li Tie immediately screamed in pain once more.
"No, it's twisted, it's really going to break, I'm not lying to you!!!
If you don't believe me, you can ask my employees, they can all vouch for me, I also have surveillance footage in my warehouse, that can also prove it, please don't break it, ahhh...
" Feeling the pain of his arm being torn off, Li Tie almost cried out in pain.
Seeing that Li Tie was still being stubborn even in this state, Chen Mo stopped what he was doing.
In this timeline, Li Tie did not commit any crime, so whether he said it or not, it doesn't really matter what he did last Friday night.
Even if he was following Su Yuqing, given his status, he could have said it was out of concern for his niece and worry about her safety.
It's easy to fool people; there's no need to lie.
There's even less need to force it.
His hand is almost broken from being twisted, but he still insists that he didn't lie.
Then what he said was probably the truth.
After all, there is no need or reason to lie, so why force yourself to suffer unnecessary pain to fabricate a story?
But if what Li Tie said is true, then things will not go as planned.
As a result, Chen Mo's hard-won new clues and new suspects were completely destroyed.
Everything was thrown into disarray, and all the information we had was wiped out.
Su Yuqing was murdered on Friday night.
The murderer either followed her in advance or discovered her on the way and followed her.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid surveillance cameras along the way and then commit the crime in an area without monitoring.
This is very strange.
Secondly, the fact that the other party was carrying a fruit knife on a rainy night is also very strange.
If it were Li Tie, these issues could all be easily explained away.
As long as the prisoner is Li Tie, that's fine.
At this moment, Chen Mo felt utterly hopeless.
He was almost obsessed with forcibly identifying the culprit as Li Tie.
In this way, he could be free, and the potential danger to Su Yuqing would be eliminated.
From now on, he could truly and carefree accompany Su Yuqing and live a beautiful life together.
But reality doesn't allow it.
Unless Li Tie has the means to act on Friday night, it would be self-deception to try to identify him as the murderer.
"Why, why!
Why isn't he the real culprit!
" Chen Mo was on the verge of a breakdown.
I finally felt like I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, and I finally managed to pinpoint a perfect criminal.
Why, why did everything suddenly fall apart at the very last step?
He didn't want to believe Li Tie's words; he preferred to believe that Li Tie was stubbornly refusing to admit it.
He decided to go to Li Tie's warehouse to sound out his employees and check the warehouse surveillance footage to see if Li Tie had indeed been having dinner and drinks with his employees last Friday night, just as he had said, and then went straight to sleep.
Based on Li Tie's condition, Chen Mo was almost certain that Li Tie could not have been the perpetrator.
However, although reason told him the answer, he was overwhelmed by emotions and was completely unwilling to believe it.
However, at least it's not a bad thing that potential dangerous elements like Li Tie were eliminated in advance.
Otherwise, who knows what he might do in the future.
In the previous timeline, Su Yuqing was fortunate that her accident happened earlier; otherwise, given Li Tie's extreme and crazy personality, he would definitely have attacked Su Yuqing after losing control of his emotions that day.
Therefore, Chen Mo's capture of Li Tie was not entirely in vain; eliminating a potential threat was indeed valuable.
Before long, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, and the flashing red and blue lights of police cars illuminated the area outside the door.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Mo immediately opened the door.
Four uniformed police officers, who had just gotten out of their car, stood outside the door, all with serious expressions.
After all, it involves breaking into a house with a knife and committing murder, which is a serious and heinous incident that severely threatens people's lives and property!
When they saw Li Tie being pinned to the ground by Chen Mo, his face almost touching the earth, his expression contorted in pain, one of the young policemen instinctively gripped his police weapon at his waist and shouted sternly, "What's going on?!
What are you doing?
Let him go!
"He clearly mistook Chen Mo for the perpetrator.
"Officer, I'm Chen Mo, the resident of this house.
This guy on the ground is the one who broke in and committed the crime!
" Chen Mo immediately responded loudly, while slightly loosening his grip on Li Tie, but still maintaining a restraining stance to prevent him from suddenly attacking.
"He had a knife, but I took it from him and threw it over there!
"He gestured with his lip towards the direction where the fruit knife had fallen.
The two policemen at the front quickly exchanged a glance, remaining highly vigilant.
The older policeman stepped forward, his hands still on his equipment, his sharp gaze sweeping over Chen Mo and Li Tie: "You say you're a resident?
Show me your ID!
And you, the one on the ground, don't move!
"Chen Mo quickly took out his ID card and handed it over.
When he called the police earlier, he knew there would be a step to verify his identity, so he had reported his identity in advance.
After carefully checking the documents, the older policeman looked warily at the furnishings in the room and Chen Mo's slightly pale but calm face, which was the first step in confirming his identity.
"Okay, Chen Mo, right?
Now tell me the specifics of the situation?
" The older policeman's tone softened slightly, but remained serious.
He gestured for his colleague to step forward and restrain the wailing Li Tie, and quickly picked up the fruit knife from the ground and put it into an evidence bag as evidence.
At the same time, he glanced at the robust Li Tie with a look of surprise, and then immediately looked at Chen Mo.
A high school student, who looked like he was still sick, actually subdued a knife-wielding thug?
He looked incredulous.
