CLG Chapter 38

“Is it done?” Hearing the sound, Meng Yue turned her head and asked, with her hands behind her back.

“Yes.”

Mo Wenli quickly returned to Chen Xuelin’s car. Seeing this, Meng Yue thought for a moment, then casually threw the knife in her hand into the nearby weeds.

Meng Yue raised her head. The dark night had no end. The rain falling in her eyes seemed to turn into tears. The heavy rain would help them erase the traces of their visit.

“Walk back?”

“Clean the room?” Mo Wenli asked tentatively.

“Yes, as thoroughly as possible.”

“Some large pharmacies and grocery stores have it.” Meng Yue added.

Mo Wenli agreed, then opened her umbrella and turned to leave.

Tonight, a scene seemed very strange: two people drenched to the skin walked on their separate paths under umbrellas…

“Sister Meng Huan, when did I go out?”

Meng Yue coughed twice. “Just now,” she said in a low voice.

“Sister.” Meng Huan ran to Meng Yue and hugged her with a panicked expression.

Meng Yue smiled slightly, stroking the person in front of her.

“You didn’t sleep?”

“You didn’t sleep either.”

“No one, but everyone didn’t say anything.”

“Yes, I remember.” Meng Huan nodded. She didn’t know the purpose of doing this. On the contrary, she was actually curious why it didn’t need special cleaning.

Seeing Meng Huan beside her wanting to say something but hesitating, Meng Yue took her hand. “It’s okay, trust me.”

She had never forgotten what her mother had said: she had to protect Meng Huan.

But she still accepted her actions.

It should be soon. Chen Xuelin was a teacher, he had a normal job. No matter what, as long as he disappeared, someone would definitely notice, maybe his colleagues, maybe… his family.

On the fourth day, a strange man stuffed a piece of paper into her hand on the road, whispered a sentence in her ear, and then quickly turned a corner and walked away. By the time Meng Yue saw the contents of the paper and looked back, he had disappeared without a trace.

Night fell…

At the entrance of a high-end restaurant that looked quite good, Meng Yue stopped. She took out the piece of paper and glanced at it. After confirming that there was no problem, she walked in. Pushing open the door, there were waiters next to the dimly lit corridor. Elegant tunes were playing from somewhere. The combination of Chinese and Western decoration styles looked very unique. After observing for a moment, someone immediately came forward to ask her if she had a reservation. Meng Yue said she did and gave the room number. The waiter nodded and led her to a private room for two.

Hearing this, Meng Yue stopped after taking only one step. Indeed, Chen Xuelin’s disappearance had not been reported in the news until now. Either he had said in advance that he was going to leave for a few days. With his status, it was impossible for him to suddenly disappear and no one care. If not, then someone had been holding back the news.

Hearing Li Shuxuan say her name, Meng Yue finally showed some emotion. It was obvious that the woman in front of her had unusual methods and must have investigated her in private. As for the man she mentioned, Meng Yue immediately knew who she was talking about.

The waiter rang the bell outside, knocked on the door, and, after receiving Li Shuxuan’s permission, went in to arrange the dishes, then silently retreated again.

“Eat?”

In fact, Meng Yue was quite hungry, and it was just about lunchtime, but she shook her head.

“Don’t worry, they can’t hear us outside.”

“Why?” Meng Yue asked in a low voice.

“Mo Wenli’s eyes don’t look like they would kill someone.”

Hearing Mo Wenli’s name, Meng Yue was slightly surprised.

Meng Yue remembered what Shi Hua had once told her.

Hearing this, Meng Yue frowned instead. She didn’t know what Li Shuxuan meant, and even felt that this woman was a little crazy.

She knew that Chen Xuelin must have met with an accident, but she didn’t see who killed him.

“Don’t worry, I won’t pursue you. After all, I also hate him.”

“What you see isn’t necessarily true, let alone what you hear.” Li Shuxuan said.

Meng Yue nodded.

With Meng Yue’s response, Li Shuxuan didn’t hide anything, and bluntly talked about the various conflicts between her and Chen Xuelin, including the fact that the two had already lived separately, and that she also knew about Chen Xuelin’s cheating.

“You know everything, then why…”

“Ha, I may not understand. Probably, self-esteem? Or you two are afraid of trouble.” Li Shuxuan sighed.

She didn’t plan to pursue this matter, because she really felt that Meng Yue had helped her a lot. Although there was a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart, after all, she also wanted to kill that man. Not being able to solve it herself was indeed a bit regretful.

“Okay, I got it.” Meng Yue replied in a low voice.

Meng Yue went to the counter to pay, and the waiter said, “It’s already been paid.”

She didn’t quite understand what Li Shuxuan meant, but she felt that Li Shuxuan was also a very gentle woman, but unfortunately…

Although regretful, Meng Yue finally raised her hand and responded to Li Shuxuan. The two said goodbye.

At night, Meng Yue returned to the rented house, only to find that Meng Huan had already cooked the meal. Only then did she remember this matter. With a half-full stomach, she ate another meal with Meng Huan.

Hearing this, Meng Yue quickly asked what was wrong.

“That is… I’m a year older again.” Meng Yue took out a cake from behind, and after removing the packaging box, she inserted the candles.

They were twins, their birthdays were on the same day.

“Hey, don’t say such a discouraging thing.” Meng Huan said resentfully.

All of this, it was worth it.

The first person to be suspected wasn’t someone else, but Li Shuxuan, who had been living with him for a long time.

Li Shuxuan was therefore quickly taken away by the police. After a period of time, she suddenly appeared in a report from an entertainment interview, in which she explained to everyone that her relationship with Chen Xuelin after marriage was not harmonious and they had already separated, but according to the time of death analyzed by the police, she had a perfect alibi at that time.

Li Shuxuan’s path didn’t work. The police could only shift the direction of the investigation to his movements and personal belongings. No abnormalities were found on his personal computer, but a trace of abnormality was quickly found in his communication information and financial expenditures: a sum of several thousand dollars was locked, and it was finally found that this was the rent for a rental house in another school; at the same time, in his movements, after confirmation, it was confirmed that he went to a KTV entertainment club with a certain woman that night, and then did not return home.

And this certain man was Mo Wenli.

Mo Wenli was arrested in the rental house.

According to the combined call records, Chen Xuelin did have contact with Mo Wenli, even exceeding the normal communication between a student and a mentor. Although Mo Wenli explained that she was not the one who killed him, the police’s investigation confirmed that she and Chen Xuelin did come to the entertainment club together that night.

“It wasn’t me, I don’t know how he died, and I wasn’t the one who disposed of the body… No… I was the one who disposed of the body, but Meng Yue instructed me to do it.” Mo Wenli explained in a panic, sitting in the interrogation room.

Mo Wenli was stunned in place, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

“How is that possible! That night, at dawn! It was raining cats and dogs that night!”

“This is the surveillance video at the entrance of your dormitory. It can be clearly seen that she did not leave the dormitory that night.” The police pointed to the screen and said.

They had visited the entertainment club, and basically everyone could prove that she went there with Chen Xuelin, and that Chen Xuelin was drunk at the end of the night, and a waiter helped her take Chen Xuelin back to the car.

Although there was bad news, the surveillance camera in the lobby of the club was broken, but fortunately someone remembered the situation at the time and described it to the police. There was also surprising information in the investigation: there was someone in the club who looked exactly like Meng Yue, whom Mo Wenli mentioned. After a little investigation, it was discovered that the two were sisters, twins, but one was in the dormitory and didn’t go out that day, and the other was sick and resting on the second floor of the club and didn’t go out at all.

Mo Wenli threw all the problems onto her roommate Meng Yue, most likely because there was some irreconcilable conflict between the two. After questioning their roommate, the police learned that there was indeed a conflict between the two.

With solid evidence, the police soon obtained evidence that could be the motive for the crime from her: emotional entanglement.

This also surprised several police officers, because Chen Xuelin was a university professor, and she was his student…

However, these situations were not privately disclosed.

Although Mo Wenli insisted on denying it, saying that she was not the one who committed the crime, the case was finally transferred to the procuratorate.

During this period, her mother went to see her once and left very quickly. She said that her money was not enough to hire a lawyer, and asked the police to handle it.

Due to the comprehensive evidence chain, the procuratorate quickly reviewed and approved the prosecution.

After the lawyer intervened, combined with Mo Wenli’s interrogation record, she said that she had caused death due to excessive behavior, and signed a confession and punishment acceptance statement at the procuratorate stage. In the end, Mo Wenli was found guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced to three years and six months.

The sentence was not short. Some people were puzzled at the time, until a reporter revealed that she had obtained Li Shuxuan’s forgiveness.

December 25, 2009, Christmas, Mo Wenli went to prison.
