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

Chapter 14 Sleep well!

After bidding farewell to Zhou Hao with mixed feelings, Chen Mo picked up Teacher Li's raincoat which he had taken off long ago, sneaked back to Teacher Li's house, and placed the raincoat in front of the door for him.

But he did not remind Teacher Li, because at this time some extremely subtle sounds that were not suitable for children were coming from the room and could only be heard by people with good hearing.

On the way home, feeling the water of the heavy rain, Chen Mo's mood gradually relaxed.

If Zhou Hao is really the murderer, then at least he is still at the stage where he can be properly guided and his vicious nature can be eliminated.

I've met so many people tonight, and for the time being, I can't find anyone more suspicious than him.

For now, Chen Mo can only temporarily set Zhou Hao as the first suspect, and at the same time observe whether there will be any cases happening in the near future.

The most important thing is to tie Su Yuqing to his side for the time being and not let her encounter danger alone.

Wait until I have sorted out all the clues tonight.

The power of one person alone might not be enough. He planned to compile all the clues he had collected in his previous life and the clues he had obtained tonight into a book, and then find some people who shared the same interest in reasoning to sort them out together.

In his previous life, he relied on this method to see some blind spots of the case from many novel angles and thus solve the case.

Of course, this is not a foolproof method. Sometimes the density of clues determines the accuracy of reasoning. If the clues are collected sporadically, it will be difficult to carry out reasoning.

Even in Conan animations that are not so heavily based on reasoning, you can see the protagonist often wandering around the crime scene, actively collecting various useful clues.

Even Kogoro, the comedian supporting character who often makes random inferences in the drama, suddenly becomes serious and starts collecting clues in a few episodes, and he also makes a lot of organized inferences in a handsome way.

This proves the importance of collecting clues.

Sometimes, just one key clue is enough to block the protagonist's train of thought.

Similarly, there are many such plots in conventional detective novels.

In other words, no matter how smart the brain is, it is still difficult to fully reason and solve the case without sufficient clues and information.

Chen Mo also wondered when the inspiration from the lyrics of "Shao Bao" would come to him: "Some careless words will clear up my doubts~"

When I got home, it was already past 12 o'clock. Su Yuqing was curled up in a blanket, half asleep.

"Clap!"

As the sound of the door opening was heard, she suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the door.

"Chen Mo!"

Seeing that Chen Mo finally came back, she immediately smiled happily and trotted over.

But as soon as he got closer, he saw that Chen Mo was like a drowned chicken, soaked to a pulp.

She quickly asked with concern, "How did you get yourself so wet just to buy a midnight snack?"

Chen Mo came back from the rain all the way, and naturally he looked like a drowned rat. He smiled and said, "The wind and rain were so strong that the umbrella broke and the midnight snack was blown away. You don't have any midnight snack to eat."

"Go take a hot bath quickly, you will catch a cold." Su Yuqing said with concern.

"Oh, by the way, the bed in the guest room is just a bed frame. My parents bought this house so I could go to school nearby. There are very few things in it, just the things I need for daily life. There are no extra sheets or anything like that. Why don't you sleep on the sofa tonight, or squeeze in with me..." Chen Mo smiled and pointed to his bedroom. Su Yuqing blushed and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa."

"I'm just kidding. You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa. Let me take a bath first." After Chen Mo said that, he immediately took off his wet clothes.

Su Yuqing was just lowering her head shyly because of Chen Mo's invitation to share the bed, but suddenly she heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

He didn't know how much water was accumulated in his clothes. If he walked in, he would definitely mop the house full of water. He had just mopped the house once when Su Yuqing took a bath before, and he didn't want to mop the house again.

So Chen Mo prepared to take off his clothes and carry them into the house.

When Su Yuqing heard the voice and subconsciously looked up, her pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly - after Chen Mo shook off the wet lining, the slightly red collarbone under the wet hair suddenly caught her sight, his lean waist and abdomen shone in the water under the chandelier, and the mermaid line emerged at the edge of his shorts as he shook his hair.

The water droplets on the boy's shoulder blades were sliding down his spine, gathering into crystal clear drops at the waist.

She was about to turn around in panic, but couldn't help but look a few more times.

At this time, Chen Mo had already taken off his trousers and was only wearing shorts.

When Chen Mo bent down to pick up the wet clothes on the floor, the tense leg muscles under his shorts made Su Yuqing's ears feel hot. She caught a glimpse of water marks flowing along his undulating abdominal muscles and seeping into the edge of his black shorts and into the fabric. Suddenly, her throat felt like it was blocked by cotton and she couldn't make a sound.

Su Yuqing felt her eardrums beating violently and her heart was beating violently. Her face was burning, but she kept stealing glances at Chen Mo's slender waistline.

"I'm going to take a bath first. I'll call you to the bedroom to sleep after I'm done." Chen Mo didn't notice Su Yuqing's strangeness. He looked at her, smiled, grabbed his wet clothes, and walked towards his bedroom.

Su Yuqing nodded mechanically in response. Only then could she help but press the backs of her hands tightly against her hot little face.

The moment the back of the hand touches the burning cheek, the cold and the heat form a sharp contrast.

The place where the skin touched felt like silk soaked in warm water, but the fleeting coolness was quickly swallowed up by the heat waves from the throbbing blood vessels under the skin. The fingertips could even feel the trembling of the capillaries in the earlobes.

It was not until she heard the sound of dripping water in the bathroom that she fell to the edge of the sofa as if her bones had been pulled out.

The moment he replaced the back of his hand with a slightly sweaty palm and placed it against his cheek again, cool sweat and hot blood surged under his skin, and even his breath was filled with steam.

The blood vessels in the earlobes were throbbing, as if trying to break free from the thin skin - the scene that I had just caught a glimpse of was burning along my spine, and the young man's butterfly bones, covered with water, were flapping their wings repeatedly in my memory, and even the heavy rain outside the window turned into a kind of sticky tide sound.

When Su Yuqing thought of the scenery she had just seen, her whole brain felt numb and she collapsed directly on the sofa, gasping for breath.

His ears were trying their best to listen to the sounds coming from Chen Mo's bedroom.

The tassels on the blanket were tangled, and Su Yuqing suddenly realized that she was counting the sounds of water dripping in the bathroom.

Seventeen times, the tiles tapped; twenty-three times, the shower hummed...

As she counted, she unconsciously closed her increasingly heavy eyelids.

I don’t know how long it took before Chen Mo came out with his lower body wrapped in a bath towel.

He was originally planning to ask Su Yuqing to sleep on the bed, but he saw that she was hugging a blanket like a kitten, curled up in a fluffy ball on the sofa. With her gentle breathing, her nostrils trembled, and the sound of a kitten taking a nap escaped. Occasionally, she made a vague moan amid the thunder, and she had already fallen into a deep sleep with a peaceful look on her face.
