Chapter 118 A bold hypothesis
Chapter 118 A bold hypothesis
However, the test results were beyond Su Xiaoxiao's expectations. Yue Chenglin and Zhou Xiaomei had no blood relationship.
Could it be that she was wrong and Yue Chenglin had nothing to do with this matter? Su Xiaoxiao began to doubt herself.
She read again the novel written by Cheng Xinyi, which she wrote two years ago.
After Cheng Xinyi divorced five years ago, she quit her job and started writing novels at home.
In the past three years, she has been writing romance novels, such as "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me". Why did her style suddenly change two years ago and she wrote this suspense novel?
This novel was different from her previous style and it was a short story, so not many people actually read it, and she later returned to her previous style.
Some of the plots in the novel are very similar to the clues she provided to the police. For example, the girl in the novel was described by her as a timid but righteous person. She knew that someone was against the girl and wanted to help her, but in the end she failed to save her and was framed.
The girl in the novel is a reflection of herself. When people describe things related to themselves, there will be more or less beautification.
A good person with a strong sense of justice? Su Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all.
The novel mentions that one of the boys was badly murdered and was almost caught by the police as the murderer. It was the girl who provided clues to the police, and the police found the real murderer. The boy was saved and later the girl got together with the boy.
Su Xiaoxiao pondered the purpose of Cheng Xinyi writing this novel. Could it be that she had evidence of the murderer? Did she write this book just to tell someone that she could decide his life or death at any time?
"Senior Sister, what should we investigate next? It feels like we've reached a dead end." Xiao Yu frowned.
"Don't bother me, I'm thinking."
"Oh." Xiao Yu ran to the side obediently, waiting expectantly for Su Xiaoxiao to come up with a solution.
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a long time and suddenly remembered something. She called Li Yan and Xiao Yu over and held a small meeting. After that, everyone went to investigate separately and summarize the results tomorrow to see if there is any breakthrough.
As soon as they arrived at the office the next day, the three of them held a meeting. Xiao Yu talked about his findings while eating a bun.
As soon as Qi Lei came in, he saw the three little guys leaning their heads against each other, communicating about something. The scene was inexplicably funny.
He has been busy with other cases these days and has hardly paid attention to them. With Su Xiaoxiao taking care of them, he feels very relieved. Judging from the current situation of the criminal investigation team, if there is one person who can solve this case, it must be Su Xiaoxiao.
"How is it? Is there any progress in the case?" Qi Lei walked behind them.
Hearing Qi Lei's voice, the three little guys were startled. Xiao Yu choked on a bun and almost choked.
"Captain, don't be so scary."
Is he that scary? Qi Lei touched his face and felt that he was quite kind.
"It looks like you have discovered something?"
“Well, there are some discoveries.”
"Then the three of you come to my office and let's talk it over." Qi Lei was also very interested in their findings.
The three little ones sat down on the sofa in Qi Lei's office. Li Yan and Xiao Yu looked at Su Xiaoxiao and motioned for her to speak first.
Okay, she is used to it anyway, and she always comes first.
“We actually discovered something.
First of all, there were two people who sent Jiang Minmin home that year, one was Cheng Xinyi and the other was Qiu Xiaofeng.
During our investigation, we found that Cheng Xinyi had written a suspense novel two years ago, and the background of this novel was very similar to our case.
The novel is about a murder case in which a girl was killed and the suspects are her four classmates, one girl and three boys, who are highly consistent with the people we are investigating.
One of the boys was arrested as the murderer, and it was this girl who provided clues, found the real murderer, and rescued the boy. "
"What's wrong with this book?" Qi Lei asked.
“At first I didn’t think anything was wrong, I just thought it was strange. She had been writing online novels for five years, all of which were romantic novels and long novels. Only two years ago did she suddenly write this short story.
I doubted her purpose of writing this short article, but then I realized that this article was not meant for the public, but for a certain person, telling him that she had leverage over him and could destroy him at any time if she did not agree to his request.
"What does she want?"
"The ending of the novel is that the girl rescues the boy who was thought to be the murderer, and the two of them are together."
"So, you're saying that Cheng Xinyi's goal is to be with someone? And this person is related to the case that year." Qi Lei asked.
"Yes. So, we checked it out. According to her former classmates, she liked Yue Chenglin back then, but Yue Chenglin liked Jiang Minmin at the time.
After Jiang Minmin got into trouble, Yue Chenglin suffered from PTSD. It is said that Director Zhang asked Yue Chenglin to send Jiang Minmin home that night, but when she was leaving, Jiang Minmin was taken away by Qiu Xiaofeng and Cheng Xinyi. They said they were sending Jiang Minmin home, but in fact they separated from her at the fork in the road and did not send her to her doorstep.
So Yue Chenglin felt very guilty and developed PTSD.”
"If she developed PTSD simply because I didn't send her home, this isn't a good enough reason. There must be something more serious." Qi Lei shook his head.
“Yes, so I suspect something more serious happened to Yue Chenglin that night.
So, we conducted investigations separately, and then we found out that Cheng Xinyi's father was a policeman at the Hexi Police Station, and he was the one who took over Yuan Jie's case, and Yue Chenglin's uncle was a policeman at the Technical Investigation Section of the Municipal Bureau.
Cheng Xinyi and Yue Chenglin meet two conditions. Cheng Xinyi may have heard about the two cases from her father and has the conditions to imitate the crimes; and Yue Chenglin's uncle may have had access to evidence, and the later loss of evidence may also be related to him, so the whole thing can fall into place.
Cheng Xinyi divorced five years ago, and Yue Chenglin became a widower three years ago. I think she might have wanted to be with Yue Chenglin and fulfill her childhood dream, but was rejected.
So she wrote that novel and told Yue Chenglin that she had evidence and that he'd better listen to her.
I asked Li Yan to hack into Cheng Xinyi's computer and found this in a private folder. "
Su Xiaoxiao opened her phone and showed Qi Lei the photos inside.
"Are you sure now?"
"No." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Because we got Yue Chenglin's hair and compared it with Zhou Xiaomei, it's not him, or even any of the three boys. This makes me a little confused."
"Have you figured it out now?"
"I now have a bold hypothesis, but I don't know if it is correct."
