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

Chapter 7 Two overlapping people!

"Knife!?" The three thugs looked at Chen Mo blankly, not knowing what he was talking about.

"You three are gangsters. You don't even have a knife with you when you go out, do you?" Chen Mo looked at the three people with a joking expression.

As expected, provocation is the most effective method. The short green-haired boy next to the yellow-haired boy immediately took out a butterfly knife from his trouser pocket and said, "Who said there is no more? I also have knife skills."

As he said this, he showed Chen Mo how to use a butterfly knife.

Chen Mo only took a glance and determined that the knife was not the murder weapon described in the forensic report. Based on the incision of the wound, the forensic report showed that the murder weapon was a fruit knife.

He shook his head and looked at the two people beside him and asked, "This knife is too fancy. Is there a more reliable knife?"

"What do you want a knife for?" The yellow-haired man did not respond but asked back.

"I have some personal matters to take care of, but I need to bring a handful of this to give me courage." Chen Mo made up a lie.

"Mr. Chen, you are so poor that you only have money left. Can't you go buy one yourself?" Although Huangmao is just a small gangster, it doesn't mean that he is completely stupid. He always feels that Chen Mo's request is weird.

"Okay, I'll buy you one for 100 yuan. It just needs to be as durable as an ordinary fruit knife." Chen Mo took out a red bill.

"Fuck, 100 bucks for a knife, you're really rich, I'll sell it to you."

Before the yellow-haired guy could say anything, another gangster next to him with a non-mainstream hairstyle immediately took out a Swiss Army knife from his pocket impatiently.

"This is a Swiss Army knife. It has all kinds of tools. It's very sturdy. The most important thing is that it's safe to use and can be taken anywhere.

How about this, this is finally useful." As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand towards Chen Mo's red bill.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo suddenly stopped laughing and said, "No, unless I pull out the knife in advance, otherwise by the time I pull the blade out from among so many tools, the daylily will be cold. I can't pull the blade out in advance and put it in my pocket."

"Brother, do you have a good knife?" Chen Mo moved the red bill in front of the yellow-haired man.

"Yes, I do, but it cost me over a hundred dollars to buy it. It's not easy for you to take it away for a hundred dollars."

As he spoke, the yellow-haired man took out a military folding knife from his waistband. He swung it, and "clang!" The moment the blade swung out, it collided with the handle, making a short metallic vibration. The crisp sound of the metal reed bouncing off pierced the rain curtain. As the yellow-haired man turned his wrist, the cold light of the hunting knife flashed.

This hunting knife with a 12-centimeter-long blade emitted a cold blue-gray light under the street light, and the serrated back of the blade cut into tiny spots of light in the rain curtain.

"This is a modified version of an authentic M9 bayonet." The yellow-haired man proudly scratched the cardboard box next to him with the tip of the knife. It could be seen that the cardboard box was cut open without the yellow-haired man using any force. "Is it strong enough?"

In terms of coolness and deterrence, his knife definitely has the upper hand.

Unfortunately, this knife is not the murder weapon Chen Mo is looking for.

"It's a good knife, but unfortunately I only brought a hundred dollars with me. Forget it." After saying that, Chen Mo turned around and left.

"Damn it, why do I always feel like this guy has fooled the three of us?" said the green-haired man next to the yellow-haired man unhappily.

"Not really. I just saw him asking us for a knife and he looked very serious. It didn't look like he was trying to play a trick on us." The yellow-haired man shook his head.

"What kind of situation could this kid encounter that would require the use of a knife? His parents are so capable."

"I heard he has no idea how much support his parents have given him. Forget it, everything will be fine if he doesn't cause trouble for us. Just ignore him."

...In the rain, Chen Mo's face didn't look good.

These three thugs were clues that were not found in the previous life because Lin Yu'an didn't say anything in the previous life.

He thought he had found a breakthrough today.

I didn't expect that I was looking in the wrong direction.

He didn't think that the three men deliberately hid a fruit knife and didn't show it.

After all, he directly asked for a fruit knife, so one would have been taken out long ago.

How much does a fruit knife cost? Why not exchange it for a hundred yuan? They haven't committed any crime yet, so there's no need to hide it.

The rain pierced Chen Mo like steel needles. After he lost his coat, he was only wearing his underwear, which was a bit thin. The strands of hair on his forehead stuck to his brow bones, and the rain curtain blurred the surrounding environment.

He clenched the hundred-dollar bill that had been softened by the rain with his fingertips, his knuckles turning white from the force - the wound pattern of the 13-centimeter single-edged fruit knife in the forensic report kept appearing in his mind.

He wiped away the rain that blurred his vision. The wet cloth clung to his back, and a chill climbed up his spine, but it couldn't extinguish the burning anxiety in his chest. With years of experience as a criminal police officer, he didn't believe that he couldn't find any possible suspects tonight.

After returning to the convenience store and confirming that there were almost no people passing by at this time, Chen Mo rushed directly to the real scene of the crime.

If Su Yuqing had not been targeted in advance, then it was very likely that he had acted on impulse. In other words, the criminal should have appeared at the designated location near the time of the crime, and he only needed to go to this designated location and wait.

In fact, Chen Mo ignored the simplest approach at the beginning.

That is, he would drive Su Yuqing away like in his previous life, and then follow her secretly. No matter what happened to Su Yuqing, he would not interfere. Then he would definitely be able to catch the real culprit at the place where the crime was committed.

But obviously, he couldn't do it because he was a flesh-and-blood person.

The moment he saw Su Yuqing again, excitement, joy, and pity had already filled his mind, so much so that in that short period of time he gave up all possibilities of using Su Yuqing.

No matter what, he would never drive Su Yuqing away again in this life.

So he didn't ignore it unintentionally, but he ignored it deliberately. Even if his reason told him what to do was right, he would rather choose emotion.

After returning to the convenience store and buying an umbrella, Chen Mo was ready to set off again.

The lady at the convenience store was so kind as to hand over a clean towel and said, "Student, you're so wet, you should wipe the rain off your head first, otherwise you'll get a headache."

Suddenly, Chen Mo felt a sense of dislocation in time and space.

How similar I am at this moment to Su Yuqing at that time.

He smiled and said thank you, took the towel and wiped the rain off his head, and instantly felt that his vision became much clearer.

After getting a waterproof bag to put his phone in and saying goodbye to the kind shop assistant, Chen Mo imitated Su Yuqing's movements and pace when she went out and began walking towards the scene of the crime.

Su Yuqing was delayed by Lin Yu'an's affairs, and he was also delayed by Lin Yu'an's affairs. Even though the time of delay may be different, it should be about the same.

With the hope of catching the murderer, Chen Mo once again stepped into the storm with an umbrella!
