Chapter 184 Childhood Sweethearts Appear Out of the Sky, How Can We Fight This?
A single game of a murder mystery game can take quite a while.

It will take several hours.

For several hours, I was immersed in the process and had to meticulously analyze all the evidence and clues to deduce the murderer.

The difficulty is not low.

Sometimes, when a prisoner has such a strong advantage that everyone is easily fooled, the host will even deliberately question the prisoner to increase everyone's attention to him.

Even so, in many murder mystery games, the culprit always wins in the end.

This was the only time that the player solved the puzzle by combining all the clues without the host giving any deliberate hints.

The host couldn't help but cast an approving glance at Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, is that you? It's really rare to meet someone as good as you when playing murder mystery games. Shall we play together again next time?" Although Lin Ranhai lost, he looked completely unconcerned and smiled at Chen Mo.

"It depends on the time, and also on whether Yuqing likes to play." Chen Mo smiled and looked at Su Yuqing.

He rarely flirted with Su Yuqing directly in front of others; this time, he did it on purpose.

He just wanted to see if Lin Ranhai would react if he acted intimately with Su Yuqing.

Because so far, this guy has always given off a calm and composed vibe.

Even when he loses the game, he still has a big smile on his face.

The more simplistic a person's emotional responses are, the more suspicious Chen Mo becomes.

Such people are mostly deliberately wearing a mask when they appear in public.

Only when something exceeds his ability to control himself will his true nature be revealed beneath the mask.

Seeing Chen Mo's obvious behavior of having an affair with Su Yuqing, Lin Ranhai remained outwardly normal, but Chen Mo still noticed a slight change in his micro-expression.

There were slight changes in the corners of his eyes and mouth just now.

Ordinary people wouldn't realize that Chen Mo is no ordinary person.

It turns out that Lin Ranhai actually has feelings for Su Yuqing.

When Chen Mo mentioned her, everyone looked at her, and Su Yuqing blushed instantly.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Ranhai's micro-expressions changed even more.

If his reaction just now was a coincidence, then this time, there's definitely something wrong with him.

Based on his observations, Chen Mo had already identified Lin Ranhai.

Now that the target has been identified, the subsequent investigation becomes much simpler.

The task was to have Daofeng investigate Lin Ranhai's movements throughout the day, starting with the day Su Yuqing had her accident.

Police have limited resources, and they rarely focus their investigations on suspects like this, who are extremely difficult to identify as criminals and have had very little contact with the murderer.

If we were to investigate all of these aspects thoroughly, the number of people involved in such relationships would far exceed our expectations.

If police have to exhaust all their resources to investigate every single detail about a victim after just two meetings, then the police station won't have anything else to do.

For suspects at this level, only the victim's relatives will devote all their energy to investigating them if they suspect them.

When Chen Mo used Su Yuqing to evoke Lin Ranhai's hidden emotions, he also affected the mood of another person present.

That's Chu Mengyao.

Seeing that Chen Mo had to consider Su Yuqing's feelings and emotions before doing anything, Chu Mengyao knew that she had no chance.

Chen Mo has completely reached the point of obeying others' every word. How can he possibly fight back now?
Her expression instantly darkened.

Only Su Yuqing noticed her emotions at that moment.

After all, Su Yuqing paid no attention to anyone else present. Ever since she saw Chu Mengyao and Chen Mo walking so close, she had been observing Chu Mengyao. The more she looked, the more she felt that Chu Mengyao was quite charming.

The more I looked, the more uneasy I felt.

Logically speaking, she did not restrict Chen Mo's social interactions from the perspective of being Chen Mo's girlfriend.

But seeing him being particularly close to other girls makes me feel unbearably sad.

But at this moment, she saw loneliness in Chu Mengyao's eyes.

Others might not understand the loneliness in her eyes.

However, Su Yuqing still keenly sensed the reason.

Previously, she had only speculated about the relationship between Chen Mo and this girl.

But now she's certain of one thing.

She didn't know if Chen Mo liked this girl, but she knew that the girl definitely liked Chen Mo.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.

She had just experienced the discomfort of a boy she liked showing affection to another girl.

Naturally, they could understand Chu Mengyao's feelings at this moment.

Soon the game ended and everyone went to have dinner. Su Yuqing deliberately walked next to Chu Mengyao and began to whisper something to her.

Su Yuqing had been studying various psychological topics since she was a child, so she naturally knew Chu Mengyao's state of mind very well.

Unbeknownst to them, the two walked slower and slower, falling quite a distance behind the people in front of them.

The conversation was conducted in a much more normal tone, whereas it had previously been deliberately kept low.

"How did you two meet?" Chu Mengyao asked Su Yuqing curiously.

If they only knew each other as classmates, then according to what Su Yuqing just told her, Chen Mo and she rarely interacted. How did their relationship suddenly become so close?

"We have some connection from when we were kids," Su Yuqing said truthfully.

"When we were little? How little?" Chu Mengyao, Chen Mo's childhood sweetheart, immediately felt a competitive urge to compare.

"When I was six or seven years old," Su Yuqing recalled.

"So early?" Chu Mengyao remembered that she and Chen Mo became acquainted and started playing together after she was 9 years old.

She was instantly stunned, feeling as if she had been defeated once again.

"We didn't play together for very long back then. My family moved later, and we haven't seen each other since." Looking at Chu Mengyao, whose expression had turned dejected again, Su Yuqing continued to tell the truth.

However, these words did not bring Chu Mengyao any comfort. On the contrary, they made her feel that this was true, and that this feeling was even deeper.

The separation and regret of childhood are made up for in the reunion and after growing up.

The emotional impact of this is much stronger than that of growing up together from childhood.

As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage.

Although this phrase is used to describe newlyweds, it also applies to couples whose relationship is still developing.

Spending a long time together might lead to getting used to each other or even disliking each other, but when you are separated for a while and then reunite, all you have left is to cherish and care for each other.

Now Chu Mengyao felt even more strongly that Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were a couple locked together to an unbreakable bond.

How can I fight this myself? It's like a childhood sweetheart falling from the sky.

She didn't say anything more, but looked at Chen Mo walking ahead of the crowd and showed a relieved smile.
