Chapter 138 Class C Case 'Dignity'

Liu Fengxia nodded upon hearing this.

She was indeed anxious, as she had proposed a very difficult line of reasoning.

"Does anyone else have anything to say?"

In truth, Chen Mo didn't have any particularly good ideas at the moment either.

Because the clues they had right now were so scarce.

If Li Jiahao really insisted on staying silent, then based on the current situation, he would have to be released within the legally mandated time frame.

It was impossible to gamble on Li Jiahao's humanity right now.

Hoping to make him feel how anxious their team was, and that he would confess everything out of being moved.

Therefore, this problem was unavoidable.

If they didn't think about it in advance, they would just have a headache once Li Jiahao arrived.

"There's no way, there really is no way."

Xu Qingqing's brows furrowed and smoothed out intermittently.

Clearly, she was thinking through various methods, but they were all ultimately discarded because they weren't feasible.

While working on this case, it was the first time she felt powerless.

"This is indeed asking a bit much. Like I said before, three years have passed; it's really hard to find any substantial evidence."

Long Hao also gave his opinion.

Take the shoe print at Cui Shengli's home, for example.

If the case had just happened not long ago...

...then Li Jiahao's shoes, his whereabouts that day, or even questioning passersby would provide plenty of clues to investigate.

But now, it was difficult.

"Then what should we do? We can't just bring him in and then let him go, right?"

Sun Yi blinked.

She had a soft heart.

Li Jiahao had broken the law, so arresting him was their duty.

But she couldn't bring herself to hate Li Jiahao, this murderer.

From a certain perspective, Li Jiahao killed Cui Shengli.

And it effectively stopped Liu Tian from committing further acts of molestation.

At the very least, after Cui Shengli died, Liu Tian never went to the orphanage again.

"I do know someone. If he agrees, we'll have a witness."

Witness testimony was also a crucial link in evidence.

"Who?"

Xu Qingqing and Long Hao immediately looked over at him.

And after Chen Mo spoke, a name flashed through Liu Fengxia's mind.

Xu Wenguang!

Li Jiahao's good brother from the orphanage.

His best friend!

"I've seen it in the files, but like you said, the two of them are good friends, good brothers. Will he confess?"

Everyone expressed confusion about this.

They are good brothers; he definitely won't tell.

"You are looking at things too absolutely."

Chen Mo extended his index finger and shook it.

"It's true that Xu Wenguang is Li Jiahao's good brother, but this friendship cannot override the law."

Cannot override the law?

Meaning brotherhood doesn't easily stand above the law?

Theoretically, that statement wasn't wrong.

If one of your brothers committed a crime and the public security organs asked you to come in and assist with the investigation...

Would you talk or not?

Under normal circumstances, of course you wouldn't.

But...

Once you don't talk, you might be suspected of concealment.

Would you talk then?

If you still don't talk...

A criminal record could affect your children's ability to apply for civil service jobs. Would you talk then?

In short, anyone who knows how to protect themselves would be under immense pressure at this point.

"Damn it, it has nothing to do with me, why should I be saddled with the crime of concealment?"

"If that's really the case, we were truly fooled by the three words 'good brother'."

They had actually seen similar situations before.

Everyone is human, after all.

For something that has nothing to do with me, no matter how close we are, I can't take the rap for him, right?

Of course, the above statement was still a bit too absolute.

But...

Chen Mo had been to Xu Wenguang's home once before.

He could tell that he was just an ordinary person.

Working as a salesperson at a 4S dealership, renting an apartment, his edges had been smoothed down by life.

More importantly...

He had seen a package of medicine in his home.

He had just glanced at it casually at the time.

And didn't pay it much mind.

But thinking about it now, that package of medicine was very likely the key to getting Xu Wenguang to open up.

"Get Xu Wenguang's file out; let me take another look."

Before going to his apartment, this person had already been investigated once.

At that time, they hadn't expected the current situation.

Naturally, they hadn't looked at it much.

Taking the person's file from Liu Fengxia, Chen Mo began to read it patiently.

The file was very detailed.

It contained his recent hospital records, some of his recent work content, and even the restaurants he frequented.

The medical records were likely for getting medicine; according to the file, Xu Wenguang had a mild lung condition and would cough frequently if he didn't take medicine.

So he would purchase medicine regularly.

Chen Mo pursed his lips.

This was somewhat detached from his previous line of thought.

He shook his head.

He turned his gaze to his recent whereabouts.

"Does this guy go to restaurants just for dates?"

Liu Fengxia nodded; the officer in charge of the investigation at the time had specifically asked about this.

"Yes, the person he's dating is one of his clients. They hit it off after the vehicle sale."

"The woman's family situation is quite good. According to the investigators, the woman holds the dominant position in their relationship."

"Considering Xu Wenguang's background, he will likely marry into her family."

Liu Fengxia recounted as she recalled.

"That's it."

Chen Mo nodded.

This at least indicated that Xu Wenguang had plans to have children.

And since he was going to marry into her family, he naturally wouldn't let himself be saddled with a criminal case.

Even if he agreed, the woman's side would likely not agree.

A weakness.

Found it.

"Impressive!"

Long Hao gave a thumbs up.

A second ago, everyone was still frowning, having absolutely no idea what to do about Li Jiahao.

The next second, Chen Mo gave him a surprise.

And the way Xu Qingqing looked at Chen Mo couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

In this smile, there was admiration, and appreciation.

And even more, a sense of relief from being led by someone else.

In the past, she was always the one responsible for thinking, leading her subordinates to advance the case.

As a captain, it was undoubtedly very tiring.

But as a team member, it would be very relaxing.

This was the first time she had experienced this feeling.

"Leave Xu Wenguang to us; leave the matter of picking up Li Jiahao to you."

Long Hao analyzed the situation and split the tasks into two.

At a time like this, there was no need to worry about who got first or second place.

Solving the case now and getting everyone promoted was what mattered most.

Xu Qingqing naturally understood this logic.

She nodded and took her people to the Xinghan Municipal Bureau.

"Then let's go too!"

"Let's go meet this Xu Wenguang."

Chen Mo stood up.

Everyone left the coffee shop.

And at this moment.

It had turned dark outside.

"What time is it?"

Chen Mo asked as he got into the car.

Sun Yi answered: "It's eight o'clock, Brother Mo."

It's already eight o'clock?

The case had been moving forward, and he had even forgotten the passage of time.

He ended up having to ask what time it was.

A light screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes.

[Melon Name]: Dignity.

[Task Rating]: C-Level.

[Task Reward]: 1-10,000 melon points.

[Task Deadline]: 24 hours (timer running).

The case had actually popped up in the afternoon when he met with Song Jia.

But at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, focusing instead on Wang Li.

Dignity.

He pursed his lips.

It seems this dignity refers to Song Jia!
