Teacher Wu said, "Assisting the police investigation is what we should do, but why are you here and where are the police!"

Li Shiqing said, "He is investigating the posts on the school website after the incident, looking for clues. I came to take a look first."

Teacher Wu nodded and said earnestly, "Shiqing, now that you've gotten off the bus, just forget about it. Focus on your studies and get back to normal life as soon as possible."

Li Shiqing was a little touched: "I understand, thank you, teacher."

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Li Mu walked in with a straight posture.

Li Shiqing's eyes lit up, and she introduced, "Officer Li, this is our counselor, Teacher Wu."

"Teacher Wu, this is Officer Li."

Li Mu smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, Teacher Wu, I'll be troubling you with the next task."

Teacher Wu was very polite: "No trouble at all. Officer, please have a seat."

Li Mu smiled and sat down: "Then I'll get straight to the point."

"According to our police investigation, Wang Mengmeng's parents are the prime suspects in this bombing case."

Ms. Wu said in disbelief, "I've met Wang Mengmeng's parents once; they seem like nice people. Did they really do this? Mengmeng had the accident on bus number 45. Why would they do this?"

Li Mu said, "We, the police, are just as puzzled as you are, and we are currently sorting through the clues."

"One of the biggest coincidences, or rather clues, is that Wang Mengmeng was on bus number 45 when the accident happened at 1:45 p.m.; the bus that exploded was also number 45, and the explosion also happened at 1:45 p.m.."

“Even the explosion locations are exactly the same, both in the middle of the cross-river bridge, the place where Wang Mengmeng had her car accident years ago.”

"It can be said that this bus explosion is completely consistent with the Wang Mengmeng incident."

"Furthermore, Tao Yinghong and Wang Xingde are highly suspected, so it is highly likely that they orchestrated this incident. The real reason may lie with Wang Mengmeng."

Upon hearing two sets of such identical and precise numbers, even Mr. Wu, who was initially skeptical, began to believe it; otherwise, it would have been too much of a coincidence.

He nodded: "Don't worry, officer. Please tell me if you have any questions or if you need our cooperation."

Li Mu said, "That's how it is!"

"After Wang Mengmeng's incident, the video of the scene was widely circulated online, and she was attacked and insulted by many netizens, which completely ruined her reputation. This should also be one of the reasons why her parents took such extreme measures."

"However, according to our investigation, the reason why Wang Mengmeng got off the bus halfway back then may not have been because of her willfulness, but there may have been other more important reasons, such as being sexually assaulted or harassed."

"However, five years have passed, and there are too few clues to support this conclusion."

"Teacher Wu, you were Wang Mengmeng's advisor back then. Do you have any clues to provide us?"

Teacher Wu thought for a moment and said, "So much time has passed, it's hard for me to think of any clues now. But I know Mengmeng. She's a simple, kind, and timid person. She wouldn't do something like that just because she's willful."

Li Mu said, "What you said makes sense. After some investigation, we found that Wang Mengmeng is indeed not that kind of person."

"However, I looked through the posts at school that discussed Wang Mengmeng during that period and found that one of the posters seemed to know the truth. The main purpose of my visit this time is to ask Teacher Wu to help me confirm this person."

Teacher Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Someone knows the truth? The truth about what happened to Wang Mengmeng back then!"

"Please tell me how I should cooperate. I still believe that Wang Mengmeng is not that kind of person, and clearing her name is the most important thing."

Chapter 291 The Truth

Li Mu said, "The matter is very simple. We have already identified the IP address of the person who posted the message and know that she lives in room 324. However, there are four people living in this room, so we need to verify each one to determine who posted the message."

Teacher Wu said, "No problem, I was a counselor in the class group back then, and it's still there. I can contact them directly to inquire about this."

Without delay, Teacher Wu took out the name Li Mu had given her, logged into the previous class group chat, checked it one by one, found the person in question, and began to inquire about the matter.

Unfortunately, none of the four people admitted it, leaving Teacher Wu somewhat dumbfounded.

Li Mu said, "Since that's the case, let's try a different approach."

“Send them the account name, posting history and content. After all, we have lived together for four years and know each other very well. It shouldn’t be difficult to identify the account and post content and confirm whose it is.”

Teacher Wu thought about it and realized that the method was indeed good.

That's indeed true. In this way, the real owner of the account was quickly identified: a female student named Liu Yao from back then.

Li Mu said, "Teacher Wu, the matter is urgent, and we need to trouble you to accompany us to lower her guard."

Teacher Wu nodded: "No problem, I also want to know the truth."

……

More than half an hour later, Li Muyi and his group went into a photo studio.

A woman inside was doing accounts. When she saw the group of people come in, she said, "Excuse me, we're closed."

Teacher Wu sat down and asked, "Liu Yao, do you still recognize me?"

Liu Yao glanced at Teacher Wu a few times and said with surprise, "Teacher Wu, what brings you here?"

"Please sit down, please sit down. I'll go pour you some tea."

Teacher Wu smiled and said, "Liu Yao, there's no need to be so polite. I've come to see you today because I have something to discuss."

Liu Yao suddenly remembered that Teacher Wu had sent her a private message about the post in the class group. Could it be! Her expression immediately turned sour.

"Teacher Wu, what's the matter...?"

Teacher Wu said, "On May 16th, five years ago, you posted some messages on our school forum through the campus network. We have confirmed that the posting account belongs to you. Do you know something?"

"We want to know what exactly happened to Wang Mengmeng on the bus before her car accident."

Liu Yao's face immediately fell: "Nothing, I don't know anything. What do you want?"

Li Shiqing said, "Senior, we didn't mean anything by it, we just want to know the truth."

"Did you know that today's bombing was very likely carried out by Wang Mengmeng's parents? The root of it all is that car accident five years ago."

"We now want to know what exactly happened to Wang Mengmeng on the bus, and why she insisted on getting off. She is not such a willful or unreasonable person."

Liu Yao's expression shifted between light and dark. After hesitating for a while, she said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything."

Li Mu stepped forward and said, "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Li Mu, a police officer from the special task force investigating the bus bombing case."

"This case has had a very large and extremely bad impact. The reason may be that Tao Yinghong and Wang Xingde, a couple, are taking revenge on society because of their daughter Wang Mengmeng."

"I know you must know something. I want to know, what exactly happened to Wang Mengmeng on the bus back then?"

Teacher Wu also advised, "Liu Yao, if you know anything about what happened back then, I hope you will tell the truth."

"I assure you, no one will blame you."

Liu Yao's expression changed for a moment, then she sighed.

"You make it sound so easy. Do you think your promises are any good? Why should I believe you? If your promises were effective, why did Wang Mengmeng have to face all that criticism back then?"

"As you all know, what was being said online after this happened? They didn't care what you went through; they just held you to saintly standards."

"If I had known the truth and hadn't stood up for Wang Mengmeng back then, I don't know how many people would have attacked and insulted me if this had spread online. You wouldn't have been able to help me at all; I would have been the only one who got hurt."

Li Mu said thoughtfully, "So, you really do know..."

"Tell me, and I can assure you that I will not reveal your personal information to anyone."

Li Shiqing advised, "Senior, I know you are a kind person. In fact, you also want to tell the truth, otherwise you wouldn't have posted that message back then."

"This matter is getting out of hand, so you should just tell me. Let's work together to help you resolve this issue."

Liu Yao remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"If I tell the truth, can you guarantee my safety?"

Li Mu nodded solemnly: "I can guarantee it!"

Liu Yao's eyes were a little red.

"Wang Mengmeng didn't get off the bus because she was being willful; she was sexually assaulted and ran away from the bus."

Li Mu frowned: "Indecent assault?"

Liu Yao nodded: "Yes, indecent assault."

"I even took a picture at the time, and when the man found it, I was terrified. I was afraid he would retaliate against me, and I was scared for a long time."

“I wanted to call the police, but after I called my mom, she told me that the case was too minor and that the person would only be detained for a few days before being released.”

"Offending such a pervert is too dangerous. If he remembers what I look like, he'll be staking out schools and bus stops every day. There's no way to avoid him."

"There's a possibility of retaliation."

"I was terrified. Coupled with the one-sided public opinion online, no one paid any attention to what I posted. I was attacked by many people and eventually became disheartened and didn't want to let it go."

Li Mu asked, "Where are the photos? Do you still have the photos you took back then?"

Liu Yao quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I always save this photo whenever I change my phone."

"This matter is like a hurdle in my heart. Although I don't have the courage to call the police, I can't let it go."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and showed everyone the photo.

Looking at the photos, Li Mu was a little troubled. It was useless to get the photos now, as the cycle would start all over again. To get the photos back, he would have to talk to Liu Yao all over again.

Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "Liu Yao, do you have a backup of this photo online?"

"Cloud storage or web hosting?"

Liu Yao nodded: "Yes, yes, I have a backup of this photo in my cloud drive."
