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

Chapter 5 Death Note Boy!

If that's the case, then it would be easier to deal with. There is no surveillance in the area where Su Yuqing was killed. Even if there was, it was blocked by the pouring rain and nothing could be seen. But Chen Mo's own house is equipped with surveillance inside and outside. If anyone appears nearby, there is no way they can hide!

"Yeah." After hearing Chen Mo's instructions, Su Yuqing nodded obediently like a kitten and wrapped herself in the blanket.

pat...

As the door closed, Su Yuqing looked at the empty room in an instant and couldn't help but wrap the blanket tighter. She curled up on the sofa and waited quietly for Chen Mo's return.

Pa pa pa! The moment Chen Mo opened his black umbrella and stepped into the rain, the umbrella was immediately hit by the heavy rain, making dense drumbeats.

The dead branches of the sycamore trees on the street trembled in the wind, and the branches and leaves slapped against the security windows of the residents on the second floor, making a sound like iron chains.

The accumulated water reflected the street lamps that were smashed into pieces by the heavy rain, like broken glass scattered all over the ground.

He raised his wrist to check his waterproof watch - 21:58.

The time of death inferred by the forensic doctor in the previous life was between 22:30 and 23:00. The alley where the crime occurred was located in the old city two streets away, where there was no surveillance. But at this moment, his target was not the crime scene, but the 24-hour convenience store on the way.

Because there was a surveillance camera here that captured Su Yuqing using her remaining money to buy some food, the kind convenience store girl also handed her a towel to wipe her wet hair and lent her an umbrella.

Su Yuqing finished her meal at the door of the store and then walked towards the crime scene. With the help of the convenience store surveillance and the digestion of the food in her stomach, the forensic doctor was able to better determine the time of the crime.

Otherwise, if it were washed away by heavy rain all night, it would be much more difficult to determine the time of the crime.

Chen Mo decided to go here because he wanted to see if there were any suspicious people wandering around in the area that was not captured by the convenience store surveillance.

Because Su Yuqing stayed here for about ten minutes, it was very likely that she was targeted by someone at this time.

On the way, when his rain boots rolled over a puddle, Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and checked the surveillance camera at home.

In the picture, Su Yuqing was curled up on the sofa with her knees hugged, watching TV. The warm light outlined the girl's soft outline and shivered expression.

"It seems she is afraid of being alone. She needs to finish her investigation and go home soon."

Seeing that Su Yuqing stayed at home obediently and didn't run around, Chen Mo felt much more relieved. He immediately put away his phone and quickened his pace.

When he arrived near the convenience store on the corner, Chen Mo heard a muffled groan piercing the rain curtain.

A thin figure was huddled next to a trash can at the corner of the alley, the collar of his school uniform was torn askew, revealing dark red scratches on his neck.

The man was holding a deformed black umbrella in his arms. Mud and water were dripping from the holes in the umbrella cloth, like the drooping wings of a wounded bird.

Three young men with dyed hair surrounded him. The yellow-haired one in the lead raised his foot and crushed the back of his hand that was supporting the ground. "You're dumb, right? I'm asking you what's hidden in that handkerchief!"

A young man next to him stepped on his schoolbag, and the mud and water splashed all over the schoolbag.

The man pinned to the ground curled up in a ball, with a tin box lying on his left hand and a light grey handkerchief tightly grasped in his right palm - that was the handkerchief Chen Mo had used to apply pressure to his wound during physical education class last week. He felt bad about it and said he would wash it before returning it to Chen Mo.

"Lin Yu'an?" Chen Mo's voice came over with the sound of rain.

He recognized at a glance that the boy being bullied by the gangster was his classmate.

He is a quiet and lonely boy in the class, often bullied by bad students.

Chen Mo heard that he was studying some weird things all day long, and it was said that he also had a Death Note. The names of all those who had bullied him were written in his note and he cursed them.

But he didn't see anyone actually being cursed or suffering any bad consequences. Chen Mo just thought that those tasteless guys just made it up to tease Lin Yu'an.

When he heard Chen Mo's voice, Huangmao turned around suddenly, and his face turned pale when he saw who it was.

Chen Mo's family is well-off, and his parents know many people from all walks of life. In order to prevent Chen Mo from being bullied at school after they go abroad, they have made many connections.

Therefore, in the eyes of these gangsters, Chen Mo is an unshakable existence.

Someone had blocked Chen Mo once before, but the next day he came over with a bruised face and apologized to Chen Mo.

At that time, Chen Mo didn’t know what was going on, but now he naturally knows how his parents took care of him in places he didn’t know.

Of course, with Chen Mo's skills as a criminal policeman for many years, he is not someone that anyone can stop now.

At this moment, Chen Mo didn't even put down the umbrella, but just raised the edge of the umbrella half an inch. The people opposite him ran away quickly as if they had seen a ghost.

The only sound in the alley was the sound of rain hitting the iron shed.

Chen Mo squatted down, and the umbrella firmly covered the person on the ground: "Are you okay?"

He glanced at Lin Yu'an, whose wrist still bore the old scar from being scalded by boiling water three months ago. At that time, the taciturn guy had been huddled in the corner of the classroom without saying a word until Chen Mo dragged him to the infirmary.

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"I'm fine..." The moment Chen Mo reached out to touch it, Lin Yu'an retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and the iron box hit the wall with a "clang".

A few crayons rolled out and mixed with mud and water to form a strange dark red color.

"……Thanks."

He lowered his head to pick up his schoolbag, his wet bangs covering the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

Chen Mo noticed that there was a dark brown stain between his left fingernails, which looked like a dried blood scab.

"It's raining so hard, and you're still out feeding stray cats?" Chen Mo used the handle of his umbrella to pick up the overturned iron box, which contained crayons and half a bag of cat food.

While strolling around last weekend, he ran into Lin Yu'an bandaging a lame stray cat in a nearby park, and he said he had contacted someone willing to adopt the cat.

He said he wouldn't be able to feed the stray cats if no one adopted them.

Lin Yu'an is very principled in doing things. When he finds a stray cat, he will first take a video to see if anyone is willing to adopt it. After it is confirmed that there is someone willing to adopt it, he will start feeding the corresponding stray cat until someone willing to adopt it comes and takes the cat away.

Because he had heard about the bad consequences of feeding stray cats.

Lin Yu'an responded vaguely, and suddenly started coughing violently. His thin shoulders shook like a dead leaf in the rain.

Chen Mo took off his coat and threw it over: "Put it on. Isn't your mother on a business trip again? Who will take care of your brother if you get sick again?"

As he spoke, Chen Mo's mind suddenly flashed back to a surveillance footage. At that time, Su Yuqing was under surveillance in a convenience store and seemed to have seen something that made her worried. Then she left the convenience store.

Seeing Lin Yu'an at this time, Chen Mo instantly understood that Su Yuqing must have seen Lin Yu'an being bullied.
