On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter
Chapter Summary
He looked at his trembling, empty hand—he had indeed gripped Su Yaxi's wrist tightly just now… but that knife… how could it… He looked at Su Yuqing lying in a pool of blood, at her chest that was almost no longer rising and falling, and a chilling cold and overwhelming fear instantly engulfed him. Su Yaxi, who had just been looking terrified, suddenly straightened up, quickly squatted down to pick up the murder weapon, and grabbed Lin Ranhai, running away without looking back. She said, “After a...
Chapter 208
Atoning for Sins!
At this moment, Su Yaxi didn't know who should be blamed for the knife wound.
This is murder, a serious crime!
She jerked her hand back, and the bloody fruit knife fell to the ground, hitting the puddle with a soft thud.
Su Yaxi stumbled backward, as if she had seen the most terrifying sight in the world.
She was soaked to the bone, her face covered in rain and tears.
All traces of her previous arrogance and resentment were gone, leaving only pure, instinctive fear.
Lin Ranhai froze on the spot, like a statue washed by rain.
He looked at his trembling, empty hand—he had indeed gripped Su Yaxi's wrist tightly just now… but that knife… how could it… He looked at Su Yuqing lying in a pool of blood, at her chest that was almost no longer rising and falling, and a chilling cold and overwhelming fear instantly engulfed him.
This wasn't his intention...
He only wanted to pull Ya Xi away...
He...
He killed someone?
The rain poured down harder, relentlessly washing away the bloodstains on the ground, but it could never erase the despair and death that had solidified in that moment.
As the two remained locked in a stalemate, they suddenly heard someone passing by nearby.
Lin Ranhai was so frightened that he froze on the spot.
Su Yaxi, who had just been looking terrified, suddenly straightened up, quickly squatted down to pick up the murder weapon, and grabbed Lin Ranhai, running away without looking back.
But soon she realized that the person walked straight past without stopping or noticing Su Yuqing nearby.
After all, this area is so dark that you can hardly see anything; at most, you can sense that someone is nearby.
This instantly put Su Yaxi's mind at ease.
The person who walked past was the one Su Yuqing mentioned after her accident, the one who saw someone running towards her while passing by.
Even though you can't see them, you can still hear them running away.
And so the rumor spread that someone had attempted rape, was discovered by him while passing by, and then he killed the victim and fled.
Watching Su Yaxi escape, Lin Ranhai was at his wits' end.
The two ran until they reached a more secluded location before stopping.
As they fled, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then saw Su Yuqing lying lifeless in the cold rain.
His heart ached inexplicably at this, and he wanted to help her up.
But Su Yuqing, who was floating beside him, grabbed him.
Turning his head, Chen Mo saw Su Yuqing's gaze fixed on the direction the two had fled, and he knew what she meant.
He was just an observer now, and staying would not help Su Yuqing who had fallen to the ground.
He needed to see more of the truth.
He was curious about how these two managed to evade investigation after committing the murder under such circumstances.
He glanced at Su Yuqing one last time, then caught up with Su Yaxi and the other person.
"What do we do?
This is terrible, this is a huge disaster.
" Lin Ranhai was already panicked.
However, Su Yaxi suddenly became unusually calm.
After putting away the weapon, she put her hands on Lin Ranhai's shoulders and said, "Don't panic.
It's raining so hard.
There are no surveillance cameras here, and even if there were, they wouldn't be able to capture us.
We'll be fine.
"Unexpectedly, it was the younger Su Yaxi who came to comfort her uncle Lin Ranhai.
Lin Ranhai ignored Su Yaxi's words, still lost in his own world of panic.
"No, what if the police ask us what we're doing at this time?
" Su Yaxi paused for a moment, her mind racing.
"Do you remember my mother saying before that there was a girl you were dating?
Is the girl you met today her?
""It's her.
" Lin Ranhai nodded, then immediately shook his head and said, "But we're not dating.
""Does she like you?
""Ah.
""How much do you like them?
To the point that you'd obey their every word?
"Lin Ranhai thought for a moment and said, "Pretty much.
"“Then this matter is simple.
You just agree to date her, and then have her create an alibi for you.
” After calming down, Su Yaxi’s mind was incredibly sharp.
She said, “After all, even the police wouldn’t believe that you would leave your girlfriend alone at home after making plans, go out in the rain, and then go out to kill her.
That doesn’t make any sense in normal people’s logic.
”"But if the police conduct a full investigation on me, there will surely be some things that slip up along the way," Lin Ranhai said in alarm.
"Uncle, how come you're older than me but know so much less than me!
"Police officers investigating suspects will not choose to investigate someone with extremely low probability, nor will they expend enormous effort to investigate every detail.
Do you think police officers have nothing better to do all day?
Do you know the ratio of solved to unsolved cases?
Although there is a slogan that every murder case must be solved, the actual case clearance rate is far lower than you might imagine.
As I just said, your alibi is already quite reliable.
To overturn your alibi and consider the possibility that you committed the crime is a logic that is far more illogical than what a normal person would accept.
What kind of guy would invite his girlfriend to his house, leave her alone there, run out in the pouring rain, and kill a girl he had no conflict with, almost no connection with, and had only met a few times?
From behavioral logic to motive for murder to the conditions for committing the crime, you failed to meet any of these criteria.
Even if the police find evidence that you weren't home, what about the murder weapon?
You have to prepare a murder weapon to commit murder, right?
Did you buy this knife?
Su Yuqing brought the knife herself.
Who knew that Su Yuqing would carry a knife with her when she went out?
Just the fact that she insisted on using the murder weapon is an inexplicable point, and the police have no way to solve the problem.
The most important thing for us right now is to stay calm, step outside our current perspective, and observe the situation from an outsider's point of view.
You'll then realize that we have absolutely nothing to fear.
Standing to the side, Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to Su Yaxi's words.
This girl possesses a knowledge base and thinking ability far beyond her years.
She also has the ability to calm down quickly.
She was panicked the moment the accident happened.
But after only jogging such a short distance, she had already figured out so many things.
This scheming and mentality was truly terrifying, even to Chen Mo.
Lin Ranhai, who was just panicking, calmed down thanks to Su Yaxi's words.
Because he found that what Su Yaxi said made perfect sense.
Even if he killed Su Yuqing today, it would be a complete accident.
The police are not gods; it would be incredibly difficult for them to find evidence of his crime from this accident.
Especially when he has the means to commit perjury.
However, he was fine now, but he immediately looked at Su Yaxi and said, "According to you, my suspicion can indeed be easily cleared, but what about you?
I remember there are surveillance cameras in the elevator of your building, right?
You were filmed when you went out.
How are you going to explain that?
Do you think the police can just ignore you because of your age?
