On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 131 A New Direction for the Investigation!

However, neither Su Yuqing's adoptive father nor her mentally ill mother ever brought up this matter.

Su Yuqing doesn't usually seem like someone who goes out for exercise, so information about that was basically ignored during the investigation.

Hearing his teacher say that, a possibility suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

That means Su Yuqing was already being watched during her night run.

If the other party follows her all the way back to Su Yuqing's house, they will know where her house is and can keep an eye on her when she goes out.

Last Friday night, she was nearly harmed by her mother who had gone mad, and fled the house.

Is it possible that I've been targeted by someone with malicious intentions?

Did they follow him all the way after that?
They followed her to her father's house, then to her own house, and finally to the crime scene.
If that's the case, then the direction and scope of this investigation should not be taken lightly.

This requires looking back to see who was around Su Yuqing every weekend when she went out for a night run, and whether anyone was deliberately watching her.

However, given Su Yuqing's appearance, even if someone stares at her while she goes for a night run, it doesn't necessarily mean that person is a suspect.

Everyone loves beauty, and when faced with something beautiful, no one can help but take a second look.

Therefore, even if the surveillance footage shows someone staring at Su Yuqing, it doesn't necessarily mean that the person is the problem.

At most, they can only be listed as suspects.

If suspects were listed according to this standard, there would be far too many suspects.

Regardless, Chen Mo decided that after returning, he would organize Su Yuqing's weekend night running habits and routes, and then try to obtain all the surveillance footage along the way.

Let's investigate further.

If such a person really exists, Chen Mo believes that person must have been near his home last Friday night.

After all, he needed to keep tracking Su Yuqing in order to find a good opportunity to act at the scene of the crime.

Of course, there are many surveillance cameras installed near Chen Mo's house, and if that person has a strong sense of counter-surveillance, he might deliberately avoid them.

Therefore, they will not show their faces.

Just like in the previous timeline, while investigating Su Yuqing's whereabouts on a street with surveillance cameras, the criminal police also deliberately paid attention to other people who appeared in the vicinity at the same time and were captured by surveillance cameras.

But I didn't see anyone acting particularly suspicious.

So even with this information, finding the real culprit might not be a simple matter.

Of course, this refers to places that are not captured by surveillance cameras.

Chen Mo immediately thought of the person who was secretly protecting him.

This person seems to habitually hide in places where they can't be seen by surveillance cameras to protect themselves.

If it were him, he might have seen something nearby last Friday night.

With that in mind, Chen Mo decided to go back and ask this person if they had made any special discoveries last Friday night.

He already has this person as a friend, so he can communicate directly without going through his parents.

After all, Chen Mo's parents asked him to secretly follow him, but they were only doing so because they were afraid that Chen Mo would resent the feeling of being monitored by his parents, so they deliberately kept it a secret.

Now that we've reached the point of speaking frankly and openly, let's get down to business.

Then we can communicate directly.

The teacher's unintentional concern gave Chen Moxin a new idea.

After all, even Chen Mo didn't know that Su Yuqing had a habit of going out for a night run every weekend.

Even Zhao Yueyue was unaware of this habit.

Su Yuqing came out to relax because she was feeling down. Her introverted personality, combined with the effects of depression, made her dislike social interaction and even less comfortable with being with others. Running alone, feeling the evening breeze, brought her immense relaxation.

Of course, things are different now.

She had only acted this way because she was trying to find peace in the darkness.

Now her world is filled with light. As long as she can follow the light in her heart, wherever she goes and whatever she does, she will feel relaxed and happy.

Su Yuqing nodded earnestly in response to the teacher's concern.

Seemingly sensing that the topic had gone a bit off track, Tian Jing put on a smile again and said, "But it's really not easy. Your parents are so understanding that they actually agreed to let you live together."

Having enlightened parents is truly the greatest happiness for a child.

"It would be even better if they could spend more time with their children," Chen Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Yuqing suddenly looked at Chen Mo with a pang of heartache.

She usually saw Chen Mo as a sunny, handsome, cheerful, and optimistic person, but rarely did she delve into his true feelings.

Does he also have his own sadness or sorrow?

Now, seeing him say those words with a smile, as if joking, makes one feel a pang of heartache.

While envying Chen Mo's parents for being open-minded, I overlooked the fact that his parents only had a very limited amount of time to spend with him.

He probably longs to spend more time with his parents.

Everyone has their own share of helplessness to some extent.

In her original impression, Chen Mo was a special person who was completely enveloped in happiness, but now she thinks that everyone is actually the same.

No one's life is one where everything goes smoothly.

Chen Mo was indeed very unhappy when his parents were often not around when he was a child.

However, as children grow older, they actually become less dependent on their parents.

Especially during the rebellious phase of adolescence, the absence of parents actually reduced unnecessary conflicts and disputes in Chen Mo's family.

During this period, children are least likely to dislike being disciplined by their parents.

Chen Mo's parents didn't discipline him at all.

This gave Chen Mo a great deal of freedom during this period of growth, allowing him to relax mentally.

However, this approach also has drawbacks, namely, it affects the child's self-control.

This is the time when children are least able to control their behavior.

This is also the time when it is easiest to go astray.

Chen Mo's parents rarely interfered with him, and he was allowed to spend money however he wanted.

But the more this is the case, the easier it is for children to fall into depravity and moral decay during this period.

Was Chen Mo born a perfect person? No!
His parents gave him a great deal of freedom during high school, which gradually made him lose control.

However, he has decent self-control and doesn't have any bad friends around him. Although Zhou Hao is a school bully on the surface, he is actually a very good and positive friend.

He wouldn't teach Chen Mo to go astray; what he would always teach Chen Mo was how not to become bad like him.

This gave Chen Mo a lot of positive guidance.

With the subsequent incident involving Su Yuqing, Chen Mo completely skipped the chaotic period of adolescence.

It matured way too quickly, overnight!
