On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
The surveillance footage of Li Tie's ferocious attack and Chen Mo's calm and decisive counterattack were etched into their minds like a brand. The honest brother they once knew was someone no one would have imagined was actually a terrifying, murderous criminal. If Chen Mo were just an ordinary high school student, without the skills shown in the video, he would already be dead.
Chapter 158
Motive for the Murder!
Chen Mo's straight back looked somewhat thin under the bright lights, yet it exuded a rock-solid resilience.
Watching him leave, Li Gang and Li Fengzhi stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
The surveillance footage of Li Tie's ferocious attack and Chen Mo's calm and decisive counterattack were etched into their minds like a brand.
The honest brother they once knew was someone no one would have imagined was actually a terrifying, murderous criminal.
The cold lights of the police station shone on the distraught faces of Li Gang and Li Fengzhi.
Especially when she thought of Li Tie's crazed look in the video and Chen Mo's meaningful last words, Li Fengzhi's heart sank to the bottom.
She even felt a little ashamed but fortunate that Chen Mo's appearance had prematurely awakened the evil in Li Tie's heart, allowing him to unleash that evil on Chen Mo instead of his own daughter.
The shame she felt was naturally a shame in her own heart; she actually felt fortunate that the disaster had been shifted eastward, which was a heavy loss of life.
If Chen Mo were just an ordinary high school student, without the skills shown in the video, he would already be dead.
Li Fengzhi naturally felt very guilty towards Chen Mo.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Liu Xin introduced them to Li Tie.
Li Tie, who had been stubborn, fell silent the moment he saw them appear.
Seeing Li Fengzhi's heartbroken eyes, he lowered his head, feeling utterly ashamed and unable to face her.
The rest was simple.
Li Tiexin's defenses had been broken, and with the surveillance footage clearly recording everything, he confessed everything honestly.
But when it came to the most crucial point, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
That was the reason for the crime.
Why would he want to kill a high school student who had absolutely no connection to him?
No matter how the police questioned him, they couldn't get the answer to this question.
However, Liu Xin, as a veteran police officer, already had a general idea of what was going on.
After Li Gang and his wife Li Fengzhi arrived at the police station, he also spoke with them to learn more about the situation.
At the same time, things also took Liu Xin by surprise.
This couple actually allowed their high school daughter to live in the home of a strange boy.
Liu Xin herself has a daughter, and she simply cannot imagine such a situation.
If it were him, he would absolutely not accept it.
At the same time, he suddenly remembered what Chen Mo had said earlier.
He said the surveillance footage involved privacy and needed to be edited out, making it hard for Liu Xin not to have ulterior motives.
However, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing have reached the legal age of sexual freedom, and since their parents don't care, he has no right to interfere.
So I didn't say much more.
But as things have unfolded this way, Liu Xin has already gleaned some of Li Tie's motives for committing the crime.
After he added his own speculations to the questioning, Li Tie finally couldn't take it anymore and honestly explained the reason.
It turns out that he had always harbored feelings for Li Fengzhi.
After she became his sister-in-law, his feelings for Li Fengzhi only intensified, to the point that he himself lived a very painful life.
After all, Li Fengzhi was another man's woman before, so he could still fantasize about her.
But now that Li Fengzhi is his sister-in-law, he feels that if he continues to think about these things, he would be less than an animal.
However, Su Yuqing is different.
Su Yuqing is only Li Gang's adopted daughter.
Although she is nominally Li Gang's niece, she is not related to him by blood.
Su Yuqing is an independent individual.
He felt that if he fell in love with Su Yuqing, there would be no ethical burden on him.
Because of the age difference, and the fact that Su Yuqing was still quite young, he didn't dare to express his feelings easily.
He only thought that he could slowly get to know her and try dating her after she graduated from high school and entered the workforce.
In particular, during his interactions with Su Yuqing, he could clearly sense that she liked him.
This gave him immense satisfaction and confidence.
What he didn't know was that Su Yuqing's affection for him stemmed only from her affection for an elder.
As an elder, he often took care of Su Yuqing and Li Mingyu, which naturally made Su Yuqing, who lacked love since childhood, very grateful for and fond of his care.
But this only applies to the affection that younger generations have for their elders.
This has nothing to do with romantic love between men and women.
However, Li Tie projected this feeling onto a distorted romantic relationship.
He felt that Su Yuqing was just young, so she was just like him and didn't dare to reveal too much.
When we reach a certain age, we can be together openly and legitimately.
He has always harbored this morbid mentality.
He could have waited.
They waited until the beautiful fruit they had been hoping for ripened.
However, the fruit is not fully ripe yet, and someone else has already picked it, which he really can't stand.
When Chen Mo and Su Yuqing left home earlier, they felt a gaze upon them; it was Li Tie.
But Li Tie didn't know at the time that Su Yuqing had moved out of the house.
At the time, he was just wondering what Su Yuqing was up to.
He tried asking Li Gang at the hospital, but the answer he received was, "We parents don't know much about the child's affairs.
Children nowadays are not like we were in the past; they have a lot of opinions.
"Li Tie didn't ask any further questions about Li Gang's statement.
I only knew that the school might have some kind of organization.
He never imagined that Su Yuqing would actually move into someone else's house.
But last night, at the hospital, after Li Fengzhi met Chen Mo, she told him in person about Yuqing's affair at his house.
This immediately reminded Li Tie of what he had seen that day, and he had a certain understanding of why Su Yuqing was leaving with Chen Mo with her suitcase.
As a result, Chen Mo casually brought up the topic of Su Yuqing taking care of him.
This further ignited the flames of jealousy in Li Tie's heart!
At that time, he could no longer suppress his murderous intent.
It was around that time that Chen Mo noticed something was off about his gaze.
But Chen Mo was delirious with illness that day, so he wouldn't have paid attention to so many details.
After seeing the doctor, going home, taking the medicine, and going to sleep, I forgot everything.
After Liu Xin inquired about the reason, she nodded in satisfaction.
Li Tie's behavior and criminal motives are both sound.
The cause of it all was his morbid infatuation.
Unable to catch up with his mother, this guy began to fall for Su Yuqing, who was somewhat similar to his mother.
Su Yuqing's parents are both good-looking, but they each have their own flaws.
However, Su Yuqing has managed to combine their good looks into her own.
As a result, anyone who is attracted to her parents will amplify these advantages even further in her.
Li Fengzhi was drawn to the outstanding features of Su Chengfeng in Su Yuqing, which always attracted her.
This led her to frequently project her hatred for Su Chengfeng onto Su Yuqing, who perfectly resembled her father.
Li Tie's twisted infatuation stemmed from Su Yuqing's inheritance of her mother's attractive features.
