CLG Chapter 21

Shi Hua returned to the car. He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. Mo Wenli could tell he was a little tired. Although the right person was found in this interview, there was no substantial gain.

“What now? Look for the next one?” Mo Wenli asked.

After relaxing for a while, Shi Hua opened his eyes. Although there was no evidence here, at least she left the contact information of another person.

Hearing this voice, Mo Wenli frowned directly. “She wouldn’t be fooling us, would she?” Mo Wenli asked suspiciously.

“No, this is fine. Think about it, she was involved in the incident in 2006, which is a long time ago. It’s perfectly normal for the victim to change their mobile phone or something.” Shi Hua analyzed.

Since she chose to provide Shi Hua with another clue, it meant that she was willing to help. In all likelihood, she wouldn’t be playing tricks with the phone number. There was only one possibility: this person had indeed changed their phone number. Although this was bad news for him, it was okay. He had plenty of ways. As long as she was from here, he would definitely be able to find her. If not, then he would need to put in some effort.

Meng Yue had been dead for a few days, but the heat had not subsided. Media reporters were still busy revealing Meng Yue’s life deeds. If the case was not solved in a day, the heat was estimated to last for a while. It would be enough to obtain Chen Xuelin’s evidence within this time.

The most important thing was Li Shuxuan. If she was determined to obstruct him, he would be hard to deal with. So he had to go to her again. If he could get confirmation directly from her, it would undoubtedly be the greatest help. But that woman was indeed difficult to deal with. Changing her mind was probably not an easy task.

“Let’s go back first. You find a way about this.” Shi Hua put away the note and drove away from the place.

On the other side, as soon as Shi Hua left, Li Zhong arrived at Chen Mo’s door.

Seeing Shi Hua off, hearing no one knock on the door, Chen Mo thought it was him again. She walked straight over and opened the door. She could understand Shi Hua’s eagerness as a reporter to find out the truth, but she really didn’t have the courage to talk privately. But when she opened the door, it was another couple.

“Hello, we are from the Criminal Investigation Unit.” Li Zhong directly took out his credentials. He needed to know what Shi Hua was there for.

Chen Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Where were these old classmates? These two were policemen from the bureau. But she didn’t want him to know, because she probably felt that the things she had hidden for a long time were about to be exposed. She never expected that after seeing Shi Hua off, the police would come.

This child was cute in every way, but he especially loved to cry and make trouble. He was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Because of Li Zhong’s interjection, Chen Mo’s husband naturally assumed that the two people at the door were her classmates.

Since Chen Mo might have unspeakable secrets, Li Zhong wouldn’t be unreasonable. Chen Mo returned to the room and said that she was going out with her classmates for a while and would be back later. The man readily agreed, just asking her to come back early, as he really couldn’t coax the child.

“Yes.”

Although her husband thought Shi Hua was her classmate, it might just be Chen Mo’s excuse. From her attitude towards her husband just now, it could be seen that she was hiding something.

“No, we are not classmates, but we are alumni.”

“Jianghe University?”

“Yes.” Chen Mo nodded.

Would they tell her family, or would her husband be informed of this situation? She was very scared and clenched her fists nervously.

“The reporter came to me just now to verify the matter of my being violated back then…” Chen Mo began to tell Li Zhong and the others about the past, including the fact that Shi Hua came for this reason. But unfortunately, she still didn’t want this matter to be made public. She thought it was better to let this matter rot in her stomach.

After carefully listening to Chen Mo’s words, the two fell into silence. They didn’t expect that Chen Xuelin had actually done such a thing so many years ago. And according to her, it seemed that she was not the only one who had been harmed by Chen Xuelin. The range extended from people inside the school to his students. She even knew a girl who had the same experience after being harmed.

Chen Xuelin seemed to be good at using “alcohol” to his advantage. When they were not sober enough, he would use a vague strategy afterwards. If that didn’t work, he would resort to threats. This kind of behavior was not like the praised Chen Xuelin at all. If that was fake, then this person was too good at pretending.

“If I hadn’t discovered that he was dating other women at the same time, I might have really been kept in the dark.”

“Regarding the reporter just now, I didn’t agree to him. I didn’t want to ruin my current family. I gave him another girl’s contact information. I think he will definitely come to her.”

After listening to Chen Mo’s story, Li Zhong’s mind recalled the whole process. What was Meng Yue’s mood when she wrote those words before she died? Was she also a victim? But why after so many years… The problem was a bit complicated, and Li Zhong couldn’t figure it out for a while.

“Why didn’t we report it at the time?” Li Zhong asked with a frown.

“No, anyway, I didn’t, and there was no evidence. If we had reported it, we might not have even been able to graduate. However, it is said that two people tried to report it, but it seems that it ended without a result. I didn’t report it. I was also scared after this kind of thing happened. The most important thing…” Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, “The most important thing is that I really believed in him at the time. I thought he would really give me happiness.” Her lips revealed a self-deprecating smile. Now, looking back at her ridiculousness in the past, it seemed that she had seen through the pale reality.

That was just her self-deception.

Therefore, she also hated herself back then.

“Captain Li, this matter…” Yang Xiaomin didn’t know what to do. She didn’t expect that tracking Shi Hua would involve such a long-hidden case, and it seemed that there were quite a few people involved.

For private justice or bias?

There was not even such a thing as “overturning the case” because the person who overturned the case was already dead.

Shi Hua’s actions were strange. Although the news reports were all about Meng Yue, his actions were focused on Chen Xuelin back then. Li Zhong naturally noticed his purpose.

As for Mo Wenli, what Li Zhong didn’t expect was that she had also been violated by Chen Xuelin.

On the way back, Li Zhong remained silent. Yang Xiaomin said beside him, “Don’t you need to take her back for investigation?”

“No, she shouldn’t be lying. If we take her away, her family might be ruined.”

“Understood. I’m just not very good at observing people’s expressions. Sorry.” Yang Xiaomin scratched her head. Her personality has always been straightforward, and she is not very careful in observing human relationships.

Following Li Zhong in handling cases is quite hard, but there are still many things to learn. It has to be said that Li Zhong’s observation ability is indeed very strong. There have been several times before when they were interrogating criminal suspects with tight-lipped mouths. Several policemen had no way, but Li Zhong was able to find flaws in the interrogation.

“No need, go back and give him a call. I think Shi Hua has some purpose. He should come. Ask him directly what he wants to do.” Li Zhong returned to the car and took Yang Xiaomin back to the police team.

Near noon, Shi Hua was having noodles with Mo Wenli by the roadside when he received a call from the Criminal Investigation Unit, saying that Meng Yue’s case required their cooperation in the inquiry. If possible, they should come to the Criminal Investigation Unit. Shi Hua was silent for a while, “Okay.” He agreed.

The person Shi Hua was looking for was the other victim provided by Chen Mo.
