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

Chapter 180: Suspects Eliminated!

After Chen Mo explained things to the teacher, Zhou Hao and Qu Danwan also finished their business.

The group of friends got together and decided to go out for a meal.

Just as they were about to leave, Chen Mo suddenly stopped and looked at a figure.

The figure gave Chen Mo a vague sense of familiarity.

Following the direction Chen Mo was looking, Su Yuqing also looked over at the same time.

This is a very handsome boy. Although he is not tall, only about 1.72 meters, his posture is very upright.

"Lin Ranhai?" Su Yuqing looked at him, a look of surprise on her face.

But thinking about it, it's normal that we all came here for the exam today and ran into each other.

"Oh, Yuqing, what a coincidence!" Although Lin Ranhai saw that there were quite a few people around, he was not shy at all and came over to greet Su Yuqing in a very generous manner.

Instantly, both Zhao Yueyue and Huang Mao developed expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

What a coincidence! Chen Mo ran into a beautiful woman he knew, and Su Yuqing ran into a handsome man she knew.

This is going to be quite a show.

Unlike Su Yuqing, who didn't know the exact relationship between Chen Mo and Chu Mengyao.

Chen Mo knew very well what the relationship was between Su Yuqing and this handsome guy.

At this moment, Chen Mo also recalled that he had not seen this person many times, but because of his handsome appearance, he was quite memorable.

This person is Su Yuqing's stepmother's younger brother.

Since Su Yuqing's stepmother was able to take her father away from Su Yuqing's mother, her appearance must have been quite good as well.

Her younger brother also inherited her good looks and is handsome as well.

Chen Mo knew him; he had only included him in his investigation of Su Yuqing's father's network of connections.

However, at that time, Lin Ranhai was just a high school student, and his home was quite far away, so he rarely had the chance to meet Su Yuqing.

Because Su Yuqing doesn't visit her father's house often, the chances of her running into Lin Ranhai at her sister's house are even fewer.

The two of them had only met twice in total.

Therefore, they hardly have any overlap.

Furthermore, a female student testified that they were studying together at Lin Ranhai's house at the time of the incident, so the police basically ruled out his suspicion.

When Chen Mo took over Su Yuqing's case, all he had were the records of his predecessors' investigations.

He launched his investigation very late.

Some cases that have been dormant for over a decade may suddenly be solved due to the emergence of a crucial clue or a flash of inspiration.

However, some cases become increasingly difficult to solve the longer they remain unsolved.

Su Yuqing's case is a perfect example.

Because there was too little evidence collected at the time.

The torrential rain washed everything around it clean.

If it weren't for the surveillance footage of Su Yuqing eating at the convenience store...

After a night of cold rain, it's even difficult to pinpoint the exact time of her death to a narrow range.

After Chen Mo took over, many of the witnesses from that time became very difficult to find.

Since Lin Ranhai and Su Yuqing don't have many opportunities to interact, the possibility of them having any intersections or entanglements is not high.

Chen Mo did not include him in the list of suspects.

"It's not exactly a coincidence that the exams are held in a centralized manner," Su Yuqing replied with a generous smile.

"That's true." Lin Ranhai smiled and looked at the people around him. "Are these your friends?"

"Hmm." "Does everyone have anything else to do after the exam?" Lin Ranhai suddenly asked, looking at the group.

"No, we're just about to have a get-together," Chen Mo said with a faint smile to Lin Ranhai.

At this moment, a boy and three girls walked over from Lin Ranhai's side.

"Ranhai, what are you doing? We still need to recruit people." One of the girls, with a ponytail and some good looks, walked over quickly.

"No need to pull anymore, isn't the number of people right here just right?" Lin Ranhai smiled as he looked at Chen Mo and the other seven.

He continued, "We're planning to play a murder mystery game together. There's a twelve-player game that looks really fun. We have five people here, and you have seven. Do you want to join us?"

"Script-killing?"

Many of Chen Mo's group were confused when they heard about the game.

Because very few of them have any knowledge of this stuff.

Only Chen Mo and Qu Danwan knew this.

"Playing with a group of people does indeed have some fun," Chen Mo said, looking at the six people around him. "Do you guys have anything else to do later?"

The six people immediately shook their heads.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ranhai immediately put on a bright smile and said, "Let's go then. There's a murder mystery game shop nearby that offers food and drinks, so you can have everything you need for entertainment."

Since the other party had connections, the group didn't say much and followed in his footsteps.

At this moment, the boys in Lin Ranhai's group kept glancing at Su Yuqing, Chu Mengyao and the others.

It's obvious that the girls in Chen Mo's team are much more attractive than the three girls in Lin Ranhai's team.

On the male side, only Chen Mo could surpass Lin Ranhai.

Two of the three girls in Lin Ranhai's group would steal glances at Chen Mo every now and then.

Only the girl with the single ponytail and some good looks kept her gaze fixed on Lin Ranhai.

Clearly, she has fallen in love.

Chen Mo agreed to meet with Lin Ranhai because he felt a simple sense of urgency.

I feel like I'm about to figure something out, but it just keeps slipping away.

His tendency to suspect everyone he sees has resurfaced.

Without realizing it, he had already begun to regard Lin Ranhai as a possible suspect.

Although the suspect has been largely ruled out based on information related to the case.

From the moment he saw Lin Ranhai, a sense of disharmony arose in his heart, making him feel that something was not quite right.

While walking, he deliberately lagged behind Lin Ranhai by a few steps.

Looking at Lin Ranhai's back, I wanted to see if his back resembled the blurry figure I had seen in the surveillance footage.

If you look closely, they seem somewhat similar, but the height is different.

Whether it was the person in the surveillance footage or the one Blade saw, he was about 1.8 meters tall.

Lin Ranhai looks to be only a little over 1.7 meters tall.

As they walked, Chen Mo's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lin Ranhai's shoes.

Although the height doesn't match the surveillance footage or what Blade saw, a person's height isn't entirely fixed.

If this person were wearing height-increasing shoes, they would appear to be much taller than they are now.

It was raining heavily that night, and the ground was flooded everywhere. The blurry figures captured by the surveillance cameras were barely visible; it was a miracle if you could even make out a silhouette, let alone get a clear shot of the shoes.

Therefore, even though their heights didn't match, Chen Mo still harbored suspicions about Lin Ranhai because of his discomfort upon seeing him.
