Chapter 130 Coincidence or Premeditated?Shang Yuan’s words rang in everyone’s ears.

”Can’t you call the police?”

”What kind of excuse is that?”

Sun Yi walked in, feeling disdain for his words.

It was just him making excuses for himself.

However, Chen Mo and Long Hao did not express their opinions on this matter.

Because once they truly stood in his shoes,

they could actually feel a sense of suffocation.

It’s not to say that calling the police was useless.

It was that Cui Aiguo’s prestige among the common people was too high!

It was so high that all the people in Xinghan, when mentioning him, believed he brought honor to all of Xinghan.

They believed he was the greatest person in Xinghan.

Under such circumstances, if Shang Yuan went to the police, it was highly likely there would be no results.

This didn’t mean the police wouldn’t investigate.

It meant that without substantive evidence, the matter would quickly settle down.

Given the methods Cui Shengli had used against the previous two directors, the result awaiting Shang Yuan would be death!

However, doing bad things is still doing bad things.

This is an indisputable fact!

It doesn’t mean that just because he was coerced, he can be innocent.

”You are still young.”

Shang Yuan looked at Sun Yi, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

”Let’s help take the person away first.”

Long Hao expressed his gratitude to the Xinghan police.

He watched as they were taken away.

The list of eight names came into their view.

”In other words, the murderer of Cui Shengli is likely among them?”

”So annoying. He was such a bad person, yet even after he’s dead, we still have to help him find his murderer.”

Sun Yi showed her naivety.

Deep down, she thought that since Cui Shengli was such a big villain, and the person who killed him was a pitiable victim of his persecution, helping to find the murderer would naturally feel very unpleasant.

Because once the murderer was found, they would also be a pitiable person who had once been persecuted by him.

In fact, many police officers have similar feelings after joining the force.

After experiencing more, they get used to it.

”It’s fine to say that in front of us, but don’t say it in front of others.”

Upon hearing her words, Long Hao showed a serious expression.

Whether a person is good or bad is something for the court to consider.

What they, as police officers, need to do is find the murderer.

”Among these eight people, could it be that some of them don’t even realize they were... you know, ’that’?”

Wu Tian looked at the people on the list and asked hesitantly.

If that were the case, them showing up to investigate one by one,

wouldn’t that cause another shock to their hearts?

And even if some of them knew, bringing it up after so many years would inevitably damage the hearts they had worked so hard to heal.

These are all real, tangible problems right now.

”No!”

”We must give them an answer!”

Chen Mo shook his head. If the truth isn’t revealed, it will always leave scars on these children’s hearts.

Only by bringing the criminal to justice can the word ’healing’ be deserved.

”Hmm, I agree with Chen Mo’s view.”

”Since that’s the case, let’s split up. Feng Xia and Chen Mo will stay here to look at this list, and the three of us will cooperate with the Xinghan police to arrest Director Liu.”

”Understood!”

...

They watched the three of them leave.

Only Chen Mo and Liu Fengxia remained at the scene.

”These people don’t seem to have any problems. Are we supposed to identify the murderer just by looking at the list?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.

”This person has some issues.”

His finger landed on the three characters for ’Li Jiahao’.

”Li Jiahao?”

Liu Fengxia read out this person’s profile.

”A local from Xinghan. His parents passed away in a car accident. He was sent to an orphanage at eleven, and later joined the army at eighteen.”

As she read, she understood what the problem Chen Mo mentioned was.

She said uncertainly, ”You mean, joining the army directly?”

Chen Mo nodded.

Criminal Psychology was pushed to its limit at this moment.

”For a child who has just reached adulthood,”

”killing someone is terrifying; they would want to escape.”

”Cui Shengli was killed in July, and he enlisted in September.”

”Do you think this is a coincidence?”

From a practical perspective, Li Jiahao joining the army itself wasn’t a problem.

After all, with no parents, joining the army was indeed a good path.

But compared to the other seven, it seemed somewhat special.

Everyone knows the army is a good place, so why was he the only one who went?

The specific reason still needs to be clarified by asking someone.

...

An hour later.

The sun on the horizon had set.

The temperature went from scorching to warm.

The two of them stood downstairs at an apartment building.

”According to what we’ve learned, Xu Wenguang was Li Jiahao’s best friend in the orphanage and is currently renting apartment 306.”

”He currently works in 4S dealership sales, so it’s uncertain if he’s home at this time.”

The two arrived at the door of 306 and knocked, but no one opened the door for a long time.

They called Xu Wenguang’s phone again.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, he finally came rushing back from outside.

He was wearing a sales uniform, about 175cm tall, thin, with beads of sweat on his forehead. Upon seeing the two, he greeted them politely.

”Hello, officers. My name is Xu Wenguang. May I ask why you are looking for me?”

As he spoke, he took a key out of his pocket and opened the door.

He gestured for Chen Mo and the other to enter.

Throughout the whole process, Xu Wenguang behaved very politely.

Perhaps he had been told by teachers since he was young to be obedient.

”Officers, have some water.”

Chen Mo looked at him and didn’t waste any time, getting straight to the point.

”We came to see you this time to understand the situation regarding Li Jiahao.”

”As far as I know, you were his best friend in the orphanage.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Wenguang showed signs of nervousness.

He also associated the two people in front of him with being police.

”He... what happened to him?”

”Jiahao is a good person; you must have made a mistake!”

A visible nervousness appeared on Xu Wenguang’s face.

”You’ve misunderstood.”

”We mainly want to understand Li Jiahao’s personality and temperament.”

”Did he ever tell you who he hated very much, or say anything about wanting to kill someone?”

Chen Mo’s question was very direct.

He had the ability to detect lies.

He wasn’t afraid of them concealing such things because of their close relationship.

”Kill... kill someone?”

”Jiahao killed someone?”

Xu Wenguang blinked a few times, an expression of disbelief appearing in his demeanor.

Looking closely, hidden beneath the disbelief was a trace of incredulity.

Seeing this, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t afraid of Xu Wenguang lying; he was only afraid of him telling the truth.

”Answer my question!”
