Chapter 121 The sister-in-law who endures humiliation

Chen Mo said nothing.

He was waiting for the 'but' in Sun Yi's words.

If the murderer were truly this Sun Aiguo,

then the case would have been solved long ago instead of dragging on until today, three years later.

"But! This Sun Aiguo indeed had a very strong suspicion of involvement. At the time, the police conducted multiple surprise interrogations on him, but he was released every time due to insufficient evidence."

"Moreover, when answering the police's questions, this man didn't shy away at all, saying he was very happy that Cui Shengli died, but he denied being the killer."

"Later, the case failed to make any progress, and the task force announced its dissolution. However, the police in Xinghan Province did not give up their investigation into Sun Aiguo."

"They discovered that Sun Aiguo had gotten together with Cui Shengli's sister-in-law—that is, his wife's younger sister."

"It was to the extent of living together; they just hadn't registered for a marriage certificate."

Sun Yi found it a bit difficult to continue.

A man suspected of killing your own elder sister and brother-in-law, and you, the younger sister, actually live with him without a marriage certificate? How is this behavior any different from being a kept woman?

If the murderer really was Sun Aiguo, how angry would the late Cui Shengli be?

In short, it was too surreal.

"What's the reason?"

"Cui Shengli's sister-in-law couldn't possibly be unaware that Sun Aiguo was suspected of killing her sister and brother-in-law."

Chen Mo spoke up to ask, because according to normal logic, one would absolutely never have any connection with Sun Aiguo.

Being a kept woman would already lead to being condemned by others, let alone with the man suspected of killing her sister.

But she did exactly that.

Could it be that she was lurking by Sun Aiguo's side, bearing humiliation to search for clues?

It wasn't impossible.

It was also the only reasonable explanation he could think of.

But the purpose was too obvious.

A reason that he could think of so easily—Sun Aiguo, a businessman and a shrewd fox, couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

If her purpose really was to lurk by his side to find evidence of the murder of her sister and brother-in-law,

then she was purely being taken advantage of for free.

"The reason is money!"

"Cui Shengli was very good to his wife and child, and also very good to his sister-in-law, basically giving her as much as she asked for. This led to a significant increase in her standard of living."

"Ever since Cui Shengli died, there have been major changes in the company's shareholding. The company originally controlled by Cui Shengli has changed hands!"

"The reason Song Jia gave was that she couldn't live a hard life anymore. While other wealthy men looked down on her, Sun Aiguo found it thrilling to possess her."

"He felt like he had won against Cui Shengli, so he got together with her and accepted her as his mistress."

As Sun Yi spoke, she sighed; it was all caused by vanity.

"Chen Mo, what do you think?"

"Do you really think Song Jia is doing it for the money?"

Long Hao had a different thought flash through his mind.

Seeing that Chen Mo was as skeptical as he was, he voiced his thoughts.

"The reason Song Jia is willing to be kept by Sun Aiguo shouldn't just be for money."

"Perhaps she wants to lurk by Sun Aiguo's side to find evidence."

"Do you have Song Jia's profile? If we can confirm this, she might be a key figure who allows us to get a head start on this case!"

The reason was simple: they weren't just solving a case now, they were competing to see who could solve it the fastest.

If they could confirm in advance that Song Jia had been gathering intelligence over these three years,

then compared to the others, finding Song Jia would put them one step ahead.

"Yes, I remember I printed it!"

Sun Yi also realized this and immediately began rummaging through the documents.

Before long, a profile named 'Song Jia' caught her eye.

She pulled it out.

"Song Jia, female, 30 years old, graduated from the Capital Conservatory of Music. She is the younger sister of Song Qian (Cui Shengli's wife). Her parents are university teachers and are currently retired."

"Looking at the financial situation, whether it's the money her parents saved when they were young or their retirement pensions, including the financial support Cui Shengli gave the Song family out of filial piety in previous years, it should logically be enough for Song Jia's expenses."

At this moment, everyone became more certain that Song Jia's purpose was to find clues about the murder.

Because Song Jia didn't lack money.

Using the excuse that she chose to be a kept woman because of money...

it didn't hold water!

"Haha!"

"Fantastic!"

Wu Tian subconsciously stood up from his chair, unable to help but smile.

Now that it was confirmed Song Jia had been lurking by his side for three years,

it was impossible for there to be no clues at all!

When the time came for them to contact Song Jia, they would be able to take the first step in the competition!

Don't underestimate this one step; being fast at the start means being fast throughout!

"At last, our efforts weren't in vain."

Long Hao also showed a relaxed smile.

This way, the probability of breaking into the top eight was even higher.

"This is all thanks to Brother Mo."

A joyful smile appeared on Sun Yi's face as she followed Wu Tian's lead in calling Chen Mo 'Brother Mo.'

If Brother Mo hadn't filtered out this single case from over a thousand,

they might still be like the others, dryly waiting for the competition to begin.

But now with this development, everyone's confidence was greatly boosted.

It was as if they had gained the privilege of a head start in the race.

"Just a little celebration is enough."

Chen Mo's tone was meaningful.

He didn't believe that Song Jia could find clues after lurking for two and a half years by the side of a criminal like Sun Aiguo, who was suspected of hiring a killer.

Maybe there were some clues, but they were likely just fragments.

Again, Sun Aiguo had been in business for many years; he was a shrewd fox!

If he himself could understand Song Jia's intentions with just a bit of thought,

could Sun Aiguo fail to notice?

Since he noticed and still kept Song Jia by his side,

either he was the murderer but wasn't afraid of Song Jia's investigation at all,

or he wasn't the murderer, and keeping Song Jia was just to satisfy the pleasure of taking revenge on Cui Shengli.

Regardless of which it was,

the probability of Song Jia finding clues was infinitesimal.

But he wasn't a killjoy, so he didn't voice these words.

However, he still gave a reminder, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which would crush their morale when the time came.

...

The next three days flew by.

Liu Fengxia also arrived. Upon hearing that Chen Mo had identified one case out of a thousand, she also expressed her admiration.

Afterward, she also participated in the discussion and analysis of the Cui Shengli family murder case.

During this period, Uncle Wang was also released at the end of the month.

Chen Mo figured his words had taken effect.

However, Uncle Wang being released should have been a happy occasion.

He had even planned to go pick him up in person.

Unexpectedly, after Uncle Wang was released from the Anti-Drug Squad,

the man ran away!

It wasn't because the Anti-Drug Squad continued to pursue him that he ran.

According to the latest situation, the informant had actually been seen through long ago.

The clue about the temple was actually fake!

From a practical standpoint, Uncle Wang was truly wronged!

He had been detained for so long for nothing.

The Anti-Drug Squad also offered compensation, but Uncle Wang refused it.

His only request was to leave the detention room as soon as possible.
