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

"Stalking a girl?" Chen Mo feigned confusion. "You specifically arranged to meet a girl at home, and instead of staying home, you went out to stalk her in this torrential rain?"

Seeing that Chen Mo seemed somewhat skeptical, Lin Ranhai quickly said, "It's true."

"Then give me a reason why I can believe you."

Feeling the cold touch on his face again, Lin Ranhai immediately said, "Someone asked me to do this."

"Who?"

"my sister."

"Your sister?"

Su Chengfeng's new lover and her daughter had never been very satisfied with Su Yuqing. When Su Yuqing came to visit again on Friday night, both of them were clearly resistant.

If it was her, then Chen Mo still believed that Lin Ranhai was not lying.

However, seeing is believing, so Chen Mo took out Lin Ranhai's phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and looked through the chat history.

Sure enough, I saw the chat history between Lin Ranhai and his sister Lin Shiya.

There was indeed a request from his sister that he follow Su Yuqing that day.

Chen Mo had been searching for Lin Ranhai's motive for leaving home so mysteriously.

After all, he already knew some clues, such as Lin Ranhai having arranged to do his homework with a girl at home.

This is recorded in the case file.

Later, through the blade, they discovered that Lin Ranhai was following Su Yuqing.

This is highly contradictory.

Who would invite a girl to stay at home and then run out in the rain to follow her?

This kind of thing is just so strange no matter how you look at it.

Now that he had received this answer, Chen Mo understood.

Chen Mo continued scrolling through the chat history.

[Big Sister]: Come to my house right away.

[Lin Ranhai]: What's wrong?
[Big Sister]: Just come quickly if I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?

[Lin Ranhai]: But I have a classmate coming to visit, I can't just leave her alone.

[Big Sister]: Just tell her to wait a little while, it won't take you long. Hurry up and let her know when you get downstairs.

[Lin Ranhai]: Okay, okay.

Judging from the nickname Lin Ranhai gave Lin Shiya, it seems that Lin Ranhai still respects his older sister quite a bit.

[Lin Ranhai]: I'm downstairs at your house.

[Big Sister]: You should still remember Su Yuqing, right? Follow her when she comes out and see where she goes.

Lin Ranhai: Huh?
[Big Sister]: What do you mean "ah"? Just stick with me.

[Lin Ranhai]: Doesn't this make me look like a stalker? If someone sees this, they'll think I'm a pervert.

[Big Sister]: It's raining so hard, what are you afraid of? The security cameras can't even see who you are.

[Lin Ranhai]: That seems to make sense, but why would you want me to follow her?

[Sister]: After I've calmed down your brother-in-law, I need to talk to her. Just stay with her for now. I don't think she'll be going home anytime soon.

[Lin Ranhai]: Okay, this trip alone is worth at least 1000 yuan of pocket money.

[Big Sister]: I'll remember everything.

……

After some time, Lin Ranhai replied to the next message.

[Lin Ranhai]: She went into someone's house. Should I stay here and continue to follow her?
[Big Sister]: Whose house is this?

[Lin Ranhai]: I don't know. It's a guy who's about my age. Maybe he's her boyfriend?
[Big Sister]: She actually has a boyfriend? [Lin Ranhai]: It would be strange if she didn't have a boyfriend, she's so pretty.

[Big Sister]: Alright, wait a few more minutes. If she doesn't come out, come back.

……

The following information is not of any importance.

This shows that Lin Ranhai only followed them to the vicinity of his own home.

In other words, the moment he took in Su Yuqing, the butterfly effect brought this story to an abrupt end.

Based on all the information available so far.

Chen Mo was also full of questions.

If it was Lin Shiya who instructed Lin Ranhai to follow Su Yuqing.

Then he should only be responsible for tracking.

How could he suddenly have lustful thoughts and kill Su Yuqing?

If Lin Ranhai contacted Lin Shiya and the two met in the old town, then from their conversation, it would be impossible to tell that Lin Shiya had any murderous intent.

Neither of them seemed to have any reason to kill Su Yuqing.

However, Chen Mo had been a criminal police officer for many years.

It is also clear that many murders do not necessarily have a fixed cause.

Many cases stem from crimes of passion, committed in a moment of impulsive rage, and by the time people regret it, it's too late.

If Lin Ranhai and Lin Shiya have the potential to kill Su Yuqing...

Firstly, Su Yuqing was soaked by the rain, and her white school uniform was so transparent it was as if she wasn't wearing anything at all. This temporarily aroused Lin Ranhai's animalistic nature, causing him to lose control of his desires and want to make a move. However, he never expected that Su Yuqing was carrying a knife.

Lin Ranhai snatched the knife and killed Su Yuqing in retaliation.

However, this inference, combined with the findings of the investigation at the time, is clearly incorrect.

That is, although Su Yuqing's clothes were a bit disheveled, there were not many signs of struggle on her body.

Once a person has gone through a struggle, they will have varying degrees of marks from clothing binding and pressure marks caused by being forcefully controlled by others.

If none of these exist, then the person has essentially made no effort to resist.

This doesn't seem like the scenario where she faced a rapist, fought back with a knife in self-defense, had the knife taken from her, and then killed him in return.

Based on the content of their conversation, it could only have happened if Lin Shiya and Su Yuqing had discussed something and the discussion broke down.

The murder weapon was still carried by Su Yuqing herself. After all, in cases like this, where the crime was committed on the spur of the moment, the perpetrator rarely prepared a weapon beforehand.

In most cases, materials are sourced locally.

As for what Su Yuqing and Lin Shiya talked about, why their conversation broke down, and how it ultimately led to this tragedy, that remains to be seen.

That's unknown.

But I reckon it's still related to Su Yuqing going to her father's house.

Based on Chen Mo's investigation of Lin Shiya's character and personality, she strongly disliked her husband having any connection with his ex-partner, even his biological daughter with his ex-partner.

Driven by this desire for control, she wanted to warn Su Yuqing not to go to Su Chengfeng's house again, and it was not impossible that the talks would unexpectedly break down in the end.

But in this way, everything remains just speculation.

Who is the real culprit? What is the truth?

Chen Mo felt that he was very close to the truth, but he still felt that there was a layer of paper between them that he couldn't break through.

I still don't have that feeling of understanding everything.

But at least he can now be sure that Lin Ranhai's incident is basically over.

He had run out of leads. Unless he confronted Lin Shiya directly, he wouldn't be able to find out why she had Lin Ranhai follow Su Yuqing that day. (End of Chapter)
