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

Upon learning the despair Chen Mo had endured in his life, Su Yuqing (in reality) couldn't help but shed tears upon witnessing this scene.

For Chen Mo, not having his own world was far too painful.

Fortunately, fate's cruel tricks aren't all bad.

At least this time, fate has put everything back on track.

As the jade pendant in her arms gradually lit up, Su Yuqing gradually regained consciousness.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that they were already filled with tears.

After wiping away her tears with a tissue from the coffee table next to her, Su Yuqing finally felt a slight weight on her legs.

Watching Chen Mo, like a child, peacefully and carefree, hugging her waist and sleeping soundly on her lap.

Looking at the peaceful and serene surroundings, Su Yuqing, who seemed to have just experienced a lifetime of tragedy, couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

This world is wonderful, a world where Chen Mo can no longer suffer is wonderful, a world where Chen Mo can redeem himself is wonderful!

After experiencing this dreamlike experience, Su Yuqing no longer believed that what had just happened was a dream.

Because everything felt so real.

And everything matched up.

When she first met Chen Mo, she sensed his unusual behavior when he saw her after opening the door.

He had no doubts about his appearance; rather, he felt a strange excitement.

From that moment on, Su Yuqing had already begun to have doubts.

She didn't think much of it at the time, and later she stopped thinking about it.

Now that she has experienced this dreamlike world, she has finally figured out the reasons behind everything.

Only now did she realize that while she was being redeemed by Chen Mo, his heart also desperately needed healing.

I have never truly understood his feelings, nor have I ever known even a fraction of the pain he once endured.

She only ever enjoyed his love and care, but rarely paid attention to his thoughts.

At this moment, Su Yuqing had a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chen Mo's love.

With a look of relief and affection, she reached out and gently stroked Chen Mojun's cheek.

Only when she felt this tangible touch did she finally feel at ease.

In my dreams, I tried countless times to touch him and comfort him, but it was all like a mirage, untouchable.

Now I can finally touch him in person.

This moment of possession is eternity.

Su Yuqing's hands moved gently yet tremblingly.

I'm so afraid that everything will vanish like a dream again.

In his dream, Chen Mo watched as a bolt of lightning struck, causing both Su Yuqings to vanish, while his own version of himself in this world lay unconscious on the spot. He couldn't help but look astonished.

So that's how I came to be from another time?

But my physical body is still in this world, so what about myself in this world? Am I dead?

Just as Chen Mo was thinking this, his unconscious self slowly woke up.

At the same time, his phone rang.

Someone called.

"Chen Mo, where are you?" "What's wrong?" Chen Mo replied curiously.

"Haha, I got a message!"

"What news?" Chen Mo looked surprised at the other party's excited state.

"It's the news you care about most. You might not believe it, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack without even trying!"
The case of that high school girl you've been investigating for so long—now a death row inmate has suddenly confessed just before his execution.

Chen Mo, who had just been indifferent to everything, was struck dumb.

"Who told you?" he asked excitedly.

"This person and this girl do have some connection, but they have too few opportunities to interact, so we didn't investigate him back then."

"Who exactly is it?" That was all Chen Mo cared about.

"It's Lin Ranhai."

"Lin Ranhai?" Chen Mo immediately searched his mind for this person, and soon he remembered who he was. "You mean, Su Yuqing's stepmother's younger brother?"

Chen Mo looked surprised.

"That's right, it's him."

"How could it be him?"

Over the years, Chen Mo has repeatedly reviewed all the files and documents, and he has memorized every single piece of information about every person he has investigated.

As long as the name is given, he can quickly find the clue.

Regarding Lin Ranhai, Chen Mo immediately realized something was amiss. "Impossible. Lin Ranhai has an alibi, provided by a girl who was at his house. How could it be him?"

How could a high school student invite a girl to his home, then leave her alone in his house during a torrential downpour and commit a crime in such a remote old neighborhood?

Even after the truth was told to Chen Mo, he still found it hard to believe.

"I don't know. You'll have to ask him about these details. But there's something even more unexpected: according to his account, there was another person present at the time."

"Is there anyone else?"

Chen Mo was even more surprised. The more a group commits a crime, the easier it is to be solved, and the easier it is to leave behind multiple different clues. But Su Yuqing's case looked like a solo crime. How could it be a group crime?

"Who is the other one?" Chen Mo couldn't believe that among the people he had recorded, there was someone else who could have committed crimes with Lin Ranhai.

"You'd never guess that there was another one: Su Yuqing's younger sister, Su Yaxi. She was quite young at the time of the incident."

"What!? How could it be her?" Chen Mo was even more shocked.

He immediately hung up the phone, rushed off the rooftop, and prepared to question the person involved about the circumstances and reasons for the incident.

Seeing this scene, Chen Mo (in reality) couldn't help but tremble. He had been searching for the truth for half his life, only to find the answer in this way. But at least it could be considered as putting an end to the obsession in Chen Mo's heart in this world.

The scene shifts, and he has arrived at the prison where Lin Ran is being held, along with Chen Mo from this world.

"You're saying Su Yuqing's case is related to you? Are you sure?"

Some death row inmates might fabricate murder cases to prolong their lives and delay their execution.

So just because someone else agrees doesn't mean they're right.

Chen Mo still needs to investigate further.

"I can't say for sure, because it was an accident. I'm not sure whether I killed Su Yuqing, or Su Yaxi, or whether she ran into it herself. But her death is somewhat related to me, so I feel it's necessary to explain." Lin Ranhai, who now has a buzz cut and has spent a lot of time in prison after reaching adulthood, looks completely different from the Lin Ranhai Chen Mo saw in high school.

His voice sounded more weathered, but the things he confessed were enough to buy him a considerable amount of time, because this case was indeed extremely complicated to investigate. (End of Chapter)
