I just want to study hard

They said they were looking for Lin Zhifeng's friends, but how could it be so easy to find a group of powerful and rich second generations?

What's more, Xiao Mo is only a high school student, how could the other party talk to him?

Xiao Mo couldn't think of a way to contact those people at all.

The case is stuck here.

Their hypothesis based on "Li Si's phone call to Xiao's father is a call for help" needs a lot of evidence to prove it.For now, they don't have any evidence to prove that this hypothesis is true, everything is just speculation.

The only thing they can do now is to investigate Chen Fei carefully.

Chen Fei must have something to hide from them, and what they concealed may be the key.

Xiao Mo has been thinking about this matter all the time. During dinner, he was lost in thought several times.

Xiao Yuemei looked at him, frowned slightly, her gaze was full of worry.

Ji Yao also looked at Xiao Mo several times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, poked Xiao Mo with a finger, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Mo gave a "hmm", came back to his senses, looked at Ji Yao's concerned eyes, and shook his head, "It's nothing."

He looked at Xiao Yuemei again, "Auntie, I want to ask you something when I go back tonight."

Xiao Yuemei was stunned, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Mo didn't speak, just stared at her intently.

Seeing Xiao Mo's serious look, Xiao Yuemei guessed it, she was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, Auntie will tell you whatever you want to ask."

Xiao Mo lowered his eyes, "Thank you."

Ji Yao on the side squinted her mouth and said depressedly: "What are you talking about? It feels mysterious, can't I know?"

Xiao Yuemei put a piece of ribs in his bowl, "Hey, you eat."

Ji Yao hummed twice, and didn't break the casserole to ask the end. He vaguely guessed what it was, and knew that he couldn't help.

Today is New Year's Day, the first day of the new calendar year.City Y is very lively tonight, and the fireworks will start from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, so after dinner, Ji Yao made an appointment with his classmates and was ready to go play.

"Don't be too late, come back earlier." Xiao Yuemei told Ji Yao, and stuffed him with several hundred dollars.

"I know, don't wait for me, go to bed early." After Ji Yao finished speaking, he waved to Xiao Mo and Xiao Yuemei, then turned and left.

Xiao Yuemei picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Xiao Mo, shall we go home too? It's easier to talk at home."

Xiao Mo replied softly: "Okay."

—

Back home, after Xiao Yuemei put down her things, she took out a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator.

After she poured herself a glass, she asked Xiao Mo, "You are also an adult, do you want a drink?"

Xiao Mo originally wanted to say "no", but when the words came to his lips, he rolled back and temporarily changed into one word, "Okay."

So Xiao Yuemei also poured a cup for Xiao Mo.

Xiao Yuemei drank several glasses of wine in one breath, until her cheeks turned crimson and her eyes gradually became blank, she clenched her cup tightly and opened her mouth.

"Xiao Mo, Auntie knows what you want to ask. I should have told you about these things. The reason why your mother and I decided not to tell you was that we didn't want you to be affected by this matter. But now that you are older, and you Over the past year, we have been investigating the truth."

Xiao Mo only felt that the wine in his mouth was extremely bitter, and he said in a low voice: "When my father had the accident, I was still very young and didn't understand anything. Later, my mother also left, and I spent half a year in a daze until what happened at school. After seeing that incident—that teacher’s words and his eyes were like a thorn in my heart, I suddenly knew that I couldn’t go on like this anymore, I couldn’t let my father bear this crime forever..."

Xiao Yuemei smiled, but her eyes were red, "Brother, he has always been such a good person, but he has to bear the charge of a 'murderer' and pass away. To this day, people are still full of malice when they mention him, thank you Sentenced to death...they don't know anything."

Letting her tears flow down, Xiao Yuemei covered her face with her hands, her tone full of self-blame, "I'm useless too. It's been more than three years, but I still can't find any clues..."

She spent a lot of money to hire a private detective, but it was useless. The other party was too powerful, and wiped out all traces of herself. If she hadn't believed in her brother's character, she would have remembered how much he valued his family and students. I'm afraid I will also believe the conclusion of "brother murdered".

Xiao Yuemei poured herself another glass of wine, then wiped away her tears and said, "Xiao Mo, listen to me, the murderer is too cunning and has great powers, he can erase the traces of himself, as if never None—the key evidence of this case, the cake list, half a shoe print, the blood in the fingernails of the deceased, the fingerprints left on the murder weapon, all belong to my brother, that is, your father, Apart from him, there is only the deceased, and there is no one else. This murderer arranged the scene so perfectly, how thoughtful is it?"

Xiao Mo frowned, "Fingerprints and bloodstains?"

"Yes." Xiao Yuemei gathered her clothes together, as if she felt a little cold, Xiao Mo saw her, got up and fetched a blanket, and put it on her.Xiao Yuemei smiled, and continued: "The police determined that my brother was the murderer based on these four pieces of conclusive evidence. More specifically, one was the blood that belonged to my brother from between Li Si's fingers—but at that time, my brother was indeed injured. Yes, the back of the hand was scratched."

"Well, I remember this." Xiao Mo said, "When Dad came back that night, he had scratches on the back of his hand, which was quite serious. Mom asked him, and he said that on the way back, he met a half-grown The girl was pulling a drunk young girl. Seeing that the little girl had no strength and was about to fall, he helped him stop a taxi and sent them to the car. He was caught by the drunk young girl in the process. "

"That's right. That's what my brother said at the police station."

Xiao Yuemei raised her head, trying not to let the tears stay, "But the police don't believe it, there is no surveillance, and they can't find the girl my brother mentioned... When no one can be found, and all the evidence points to my brother, What he said seemed to be sophistry-how could the police believe such a coincidence? Moreover, Li Si's nails did have brother's blood, and brother himself couldn't explain what happened. "

The first time Xiao Mo knew the details of the case, the fear in his heart grew worse. He remembered his conjecture in the afternoon - the murderer had supernatural abilities.

——Could it be that there was actually a person with a big background doing tricks in the case back then?

who's that person?

What kind of power do you have?

The truth is like a black hole full of unknowns, terrifying and frightening.

Xiao Mo pursed his lips, and gripped the cup even harder. After calming down for a while, he asked again: "What about the fingerprints?"

Xiao Yuemei said: "The police found the murder weapon when they investigated the scene of the crime. It was a fruit knife. According to the judgment, the fruit knife belonged to Li Si and she put it on the coffee table. When there was a dispute with the murderer, the knife The murderer picked it up and stabbed her in the chest, in fact, one knife was fatal, but the murderer seemed to have a deep hatred, so he made another six stabs - and brother's fingerprints were found on the knife."

Xiao Mo's lips turned pale, and he suddenly felt very cold, the kind of cold that freezes to the bone. He raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass, poured another glass and finished drinking, and his teeth stopped chattering "So...Dad, did he really go to the scene of the crime?"

"No, he didn't go in." Xiao Yuemei said, "Brother said that he received a call from Li Si that day. Li Si asked him for help, saying that someone wanted to cheat on her. My brother comforted Li Si and told Li Si not to be afraid. And rushed all the way to Li Si's house, but when he arrived, he knocked on the door but Li Si didn't respond, he knocked on the door for a long time, and tried to open it, it was when the neighbor next door came out to say that Li Si had gone out, and he returned home."

"Is that really the case?" Xiao Mo concentrated on it, and told Xiao Yuemei about Qin Huan's conjecture in the afternoon.

Xiao Yuemei's expression froze, and she sat up straight all of a sudden, "Wait, Xiao Mo, tell me your assumptions from beginning to end."

So Xiao Mo said it again.

Xiao Yuemei stood up, walked back and forth in the spacious living room for several times, and finally stopped, "Yes, yes, it makes sense, my brother really didn't enter the door at that time - he wouldn't lie, and he wouldn't lie. He didn't lie, he really didn't go in, he was just outside the door, and he never saw Li Si."

"...But how can blood and fingerprints explain it?" Xiao Yuemei sat down again, pinched the center of her brows, and thought seriously.

Xiao Mo suddenly said: "If the murderer knew Li Si, would he also know Dad? It's very simple to rub the fingerprints and reprint them on the fruit knife. As for the blood in the fingertips, the drunk young girl my father bumped into. Could it be that the murderer deliberately arranged it? 'Eliminate all the impossible, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth of the matter'—assuming that is really the case?" 1

Xiao Yuemei stared blankly at the empty wine bottles on the coffee table, "If that's the case, then brother..." It would be nice if he wasn't so kind.

However, this sentence was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it.

Because there is nothing wrong with kindness, and kindness should not pay for the murderer.

——Her brother, he did nothing wrong from beginning to end.

Xiao Mo's capacity for alcohol is not good, he drank a few glasses just now, and now he is a little bit overwhelmed, he pinched his wrist to allow himself to concentrate, "Auntie, you just said that when Dad rushed to Li Si's house back then, when he knocked on the door , the neighbor reminded Dad that Li Si was out?"

Xiao Yuemei came back to her senses, "Yes, these are all written in the file."

"It's impossible." Xiao Mo sat in a different position so that Xiao Yuemei couldn't see him pinching herself, "Li Si must have never gone out, 'calling for help' and 'Dad never came in' are both If it is established, Li Si must not have left, and it is very likely that she is dead."

Knowing what Xiao Mo meant, Xiao Yuemei took a breath, "Xiao Mo, what do you mean...there were actually two murderers?!"

"He had at least one accomplice, that is, there were two people at the scene at the time." Xiao Mo lowered his eyes, his eye circles were already red, "These two people should both know Dad, they may have checked Li Si's phone and knew She called her father, and they probably knew her father well, knowing that her father would not let him go if he received the call, and would definitely pass by, so they had already planned this calamity...

One of them dressed up as Li Si and went out under the eyes of the neighbors, and the other stayed at the scene. When his father left, he took his father's shoe prints and fingerprints and arranged the scene... and the person dressed as Li Si Then find someone to pretend to be drunk, scratch your father, and get his blood..."

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, a tear slid down the corner of his eye, and soon disappeared, "Auntie, don't the police pay attention to criminal motives when handling cases? Dad has no enmity with Li Si. Li Si is his most proud disciple. Even with this evidence, wouldn’t they find it unreasonable?”

"Some things are very coincidental, very coincidental." Xiao Yuemei couldn't help but drank several more glasses of wine, until all the wine on the table was gone, and only a bunch of empty bottles were left, she said slowly, "In Two days before the murder, Li Si suddenly ran to the office and scolded her brother very fiercely... The police questioned the classmates and teachers who witnessed this scene, and everyone testified that his brother was so angry that his face turned pale and he also Li Si is murdered."

Xiao Mo opened his mouth, but in the end he could only turn his face away, covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and let out a low whimper.

Fate seems to be the culprit. With its step-by-step promotion, the murderer has completed the perfect frame-up and has been at large since then.

At the same time, the Qin family.

After dinner, Qin Huan and Qin's father went to the study room. After that, the study room was kept closed, with only a faint light shining through the gap at the bottom.

Qin Shi stood outside the study and asked Qin's mother in a low voice, "Mom, what's the matter tonight, brother, you suddenly told Dad so seriously that you want to talk."

"You should know, your brother will tell you. If you shouldn't know, I don't know if you ask me." Qin's mother poked his head, "Okay, go and play, don't stand at the door, we The house’s sound insulation is not bad, even if you stick around for a long time, you still can’t hear what’s going on inside.”

Qin Shi thought about it, and turned around to leave.

Before Qin's mother left, she looked back at the study room, her smile gradually faded, revealing a worried expression.

in the study.

For the first time, Qin Huan asked Qin's father about the case in a serious and serious manner.

"Are you asking because Xiao Mo asked you to ask?" Qin's father sat at the desk, looking at Qin Huan with scrutiny.

Qin Huan shook his head, "No, my deskmate never asked me to ask you. I wanted to ask... I want to know what is the evidence for Xiao Qin's murder."

Qin's father sighed, "It's been so long since this case..."

Qin Huan looked straight at Qin's father, "But there are still people who insist on investigating. They are still investigating at my desk. They don't believe that Xiao Qin will kill people, even grandparents don't believe it.

Dad, why was it confirmed that Xiao Qin was the murderer back then, why was the death sentence suspended in the first trial, and why did the second trial suddenly become the death penalty and be executed immediately? "

Qin's father was not addicted to cigarettes, so when he mentioned this case, he couldn't help but lit a cigarette.

The smoke was lingering, Qin's father got up and opened the window, the wind blew in, dissipating the warmth brought by the air conditioner, Qin Huan didn't move, just looked at Qin's father.

"Evidence." Qin's father said, "The evidence in this case is solid, and even the only motive is pointing to Xiao Qin."

Qin Huan frowned, "Motive? What motive?"

"The motive for the murder. Did you investigate with Xiao Mo? Then you should know that the deceased was named Li Si. When he died, he had just turned 22. Not only did Li Si have excellent grades, he also had his own way of dealing with people. You can say She is very good at dancing. She has been in school for more than three years and has never had any conflicts with anyone. We checked everything, and everyone said that she never loses her temper and has a high emotional intelligence... only Xiao Qin is an exception.

Two days before the incident, Li Si suddenly ran to the office and scolded Xiao Qin. He also poured a glass of water on Xiao Qin... After Li Si left, Xiao Qin pursed his lips and said nothing, but he was lost in thought all afternoon, not knowing what he was thinking - this dispute was Xiao Qin's motive. "

Qin Huan was puzzled, "But hasn't Xiao Qin always been friendly to others? Why did Li Si scold him? Besides, Li Si is Xiao Qin's favorite student. He even sent a group photo of Li Si and Luo Xinhan to grandpa, grandpa Said, Hsiao Chin mentioned them, is proud."

"Chen Fei." The cigarette in Father Qin's hand had only butts left, he pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and lit another one, "Do you know that Li Si likes Chen Fei?"

Qin Huan watched her father light a second cigarette, stepped forward to snatch it, extinguished it, and then said: "Well, we met Luo Xinhan today, he said it before."

Throwing the extinguished cigarette into the ashtray, he said again: "Dad, you smoke less."

After hearing what he said, Dad Qin really didn't touch cigarettes anymore. He walked to the window and stood with his back to Qin Huan. He stood upright, which was a habit he had developed over the years, "Li Si knew Chen Fei was that time. The one who was framed and dropped out of school, and Hsiao Chin was the reason why Lin Zhifeng framed Chen Fei."

Qin Huan walked around the desk and walked in front of Qin's father, "Lin Zhifeng framed Chen Fei, what does it have to do with Xiao Qin?"

Qin's father's eyes were deep, he turned his head to look at Qin Huan, and said after a while: "Lin Zhifeng is gay, he likes Xiao Qin."

"!" Qin Huan was shocked.

Qin's father shivered from the cold, closed the windows, and reheated the air conditioner, but the room did not heat up so quickly, "We found Xiao Qin's shoe prints, fingerprints, cake list, and the most important thing at the scene of the crime. , Li Si once scratched the murderer, and the blood of the murderer was left in her fingers—it also belonged to Xiao Qin. And when we caught Xiao Qin, the back of his hand was also scratched, it must be a woman's scratch mark.

As for your saying that the sentence of second instance was commuted to death and executed immediately, that is the court's decision. I am a policeman, and I am only responsible for arresting criminals and submitting evidence. "
