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

Chapter 12 Re-enter the suspect list!
"If I can't find the murderer...how can I resolve Su Yuqing's injustice? Even if it's just an injustice from her previous life." He whispered, his eyes becoming more and more determined.

Despite the heavy rain, he still looked up, as if trying to find the answer from the dark sky.

Just as he was about to continue searching for any possible clues in the rain, suddenly, his cell phone vibrated several times.

Chen Mo immediately took out his cell phone, and a message appeared on the screen, indicating that the surveillance footage had been updated.

He immediately opened the surveillance footage on his mobile phone. In the footage, although Su Yuqing's face was sleepy and she was afraid of the lonely environment, she still bravely stood up and walked to the door.

She is hesitating...

Obviously, it was because Chen Mo had not been back for so long that she was extremely worried.

"Hello, hello, hello." Chen Mo immediately clicked the call button on the surveillance camera.

The sudden sound scared Su Yuqing until she found the source of the sound at the door, which was a surveillance camera.

"Chen Mo?" she asked curiously.

"I was delayed by something and will be back soon. Don't worry. If you are sleepy, go to sleep first." Chen Mo said as gently as possible.

"I'm glad you're okay. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll wait for you to come back." Su Yuqing suppressed her tired expression and forced a gentle smile towards the surveillance camera.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Soon the only sound in the room was the cute and silly voice of Crayon Shin-chan from the cartoon on TV.

Su Yuqing dragged her tired body back to the sofa and curled up in the blanket again, but this time there was a hint of relief in her tiredness.

"At this time, the murderer can't possibly show up again!"

Chen Mo looked up to feel the rain, wondering if the murderer had walked past the crime scene during the time he and Teacher Li were returning home.

Boom!

As a loud thunder suddenly sounded, another possibility suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

That is, has the murderer been encountered by myself, but I haven't noticed it yet?

Is there a possible suspect that I have missed tonight?
As Chen Mo was baptized by the heavy rain, his mind gradually became clear.

This was his habit when thinking, either in a rainstorm or under the shower in his bathroom at home!

When the water pours down on him, Chen Mo's brain activity always soars.

Finally, he sorted out all the people and things he had encountered tonight. He tried hard to recall any person or place that might have come into contact with Su Yuqing.

Images began to flash rapidly before his eyes.

Starting from the convenience store, the first people I met were the convenience store girl and the store manager, followed by Lin Yu'an and three thugs.

Is there a possibility that there is a murderer here?

This time, Chen Mo did not let go of anyone who could be inferred.

Even Lin Yu'an, who had been bullied for years and looked very weak, was forcibly included in Chen Mo's questioning this time. Memories flashed back, and clues were traced back.

The picture gradually became clear.

Could Lin Yu'an be the murderer? As the scenes flashed back, Chen Mo ruled out this possibility.

At that time, Lin Yu'an was being robbed by three thugs. Chen Mo saw that Lin Yu'an's trouser pockets were turned inside out, his schoolbag was open, and everything inside had been poured out.

In other words, because Lin Yu'an was robbed by three thugs, all the places on his body where he could hide things were searched by the three thugs.

And everything he held on his body had fallen to his side.

There was no trace of the murder weapon, a fruit knife.

He didn't carry any weapons, so how could he walk with Su Yuqing to this remote place when he met her by chance, and then suddenly take out a fruit knife that he didn't even carry with him, attempted to rape and kill Su Yuqing?
Lin Yu arranged to remove it!
Next were three thugs. All three of them had weapons and sufficient motives. It was not surprising that these thugs were tempted by women.

But the key point is that the murder weapon they possessed was not the murder weapon used to commit the crime, but was just a weapon sufficient to commit the crime!
It was difficult to identify the three as suspects.

After that, all kinds of passers-by, homeless people, and delivery men came into contact with the knife in the timeline of this world, but this knife was not the one used in the crime.

The rest of the passers-by were walking in a hurry and didn't see anyone going out with a fruit knife at all.

However, before eliminating these people, Chen Mo suddenly rewinded to a person he thought was unlikely to have committed the crime.

That’s Zhou Hao!
Because of his mother's matter, Zhou Hao dropped a fruit knife that matched the murder weapon at the scene and ran away.

But if his mother's condition suddenly stabilizes, half an hour will be enough for him to visit her in the hospital and walk back and forth. If he comes back early, the time should be around 23pm.

At this time, Chen Mo happened to go to his house with Teacher Li, so it was normal that he missed it.

At the same time, Zhou Hao, who found that he had lost his fruit knife on the way home, is it possible that he would buy another fruit knife on the way back?
During the investigation of the case, the police visited stores that sold similar knives.

However, the rain was so heavy that night that many people were wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas. When buying a knife, basically no one would carefully look at the person's appearance. After paying the money, they would leave. How could they remember so much? Therefore, there were almost no effective clues.

But there is indeed a clue, that is, the owner remembered that very late that night, he didn't remember the exact time but it was probably between 22 p.m. and 23 p.m., someone did come to buy a fruit knife.

If Zhou Hao bought a new knife on his way back, then it is possible that he is a suspect in the crime.

After sorting out the whole line, Zhou Hao was back on Chen Mo's list of suspects.

As for the others, he excluded most of them for various reasons.

But it is very simple to verify this. Just go to Zhou Hao's house and knock on the door. If he has returned home and really bought a new fruit knife, then his suspicion will be infinitely increased!
When all impossibilities have been eliminated, the only possibility left, no matter how incredible it is, will only be the only truth.

However, after experiencing the misunderstanding with Li Yan, Chen Mo will no longer make judgments easily. Zhou Hao was only listed as an important suspect by him.

Chen Mo had no intention of letting down his guard as for other people. He had already memorized all the people he met tonight and was ready to conduct a thorough investigation later.

"I've done my best to check everything I need to. I've been wandering around here for an hour now, and it's time to go home. I'll go to Zhou Hao's house first and sort out the other things tomorrow."

Chen Mo closed his eyes and endured the cold rain. After sorting out all the clues again, he walked towards Zhou Hao's house.
