Chapter 75 A Strange Fate

His gaze fell upon Song Wei's file.

According to the records, the victim of Song Wei's illegal detention and the victim of his negligent homicide were actually the same person; he had been sentenced to 12 years in prison for both crimes combined.

The deceased was named Liu Lin, also a student at Binhai No. 1 High School.

"At 10:00 PM, after evening self-study, Liu Lin followed a female classmate named Feng Juan. During this time, he approached her multiple times, saying that high school was almost over and he wanted to date her and apply to the same university;"

"The female student, Feng Juan, refused him. Liu Lin then suddenly lost control of his emotions (due to college entrance exam pressure and the shame of being rejected) and began punching and kicking Feng Juan. He was later seen by Song Wei (the defendant in this case), who stopped him, allowing Feng Juan to escape the scene."

"However, the defendant, Song Wei, did not seek help from teachers or the police after stopping him. Instead, relying on his physical strength, he took the person to a dilapidated house in a wasteland, beat the deceased, Liu Lin, privately, and lit a fire with a lighter. His intention was to scare the other party, but he accidentally ignited poplar catkins, causing Liu Lin to be burned to death!"

The above situation can be simply translated as follows.

The reason Song Wei went to prison back then was because of Feng Juan, who is now Lin Dahai's wife.

Furthermore, either Song Wei hated evil with a passion, or he had also liked Feng Juan during high school and, seeing the person he liked being beaten, acted impulsively and made a mistake, leading to an uncontrollable situation.

"According to the file, this Song Wei has been out of prison for 7 years, right? The restaurant he ran previously had very good business and could support over twenty brothers, which means he had some money, but he never found a wife. Could it be that Song Wei is still in love with Feng Juan?"

Chen Mo murmured to himself.

For Feng Juan, twelve years have passed, but for Song Wei, he couldn't meet any new girls in prison, which means his romantic life has been a blank slate during that time.

If he still likes her.

A month ago, Lin Dahai moved his whole family here, and Song Wei unexpectedly saw Feng Juan.

Learning that Lin Dahai often commits domestic violence against the person he likes.

Does this indirectly increase the possibility that Song Wei might commit a crime a second time?

Theoretically, the possibility is quite high.

"Could this be fate?"

Long Hao felt that this was somewhat magical.

The person who saved her twelve years ago has come to save her again twelve years later.

If this were written into a romance novel, his wife could read it all day.

He added: "This Song Wei is highly suspicious. Bring him back to the Municipal Bureau immediately; we'll know if he's the killer once we question him!"

At this moment, Xiao Zhang also became excited; so many coincidences coming together.

Undoubtedly increased Song Wei's suspicion.

Perhaps the case would be solved just like that.

After nodding in agreement, he took a team to make the arrest.

Having already figured out his current location when investigating the file earlier.

So it wasn't any trouble.

The room was now left with only the forensic pathologist, Chen Mo, and Long Hao.

"Shall we head back too?" Long Hao signaled for Chen Mo to leave.

"Yeah, and I also want to see Lin Xixi."

The two drove the police car and headed toward the Municipal Bureau.

...

11:00 AM.

The sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature soared to 30 degrees, punishing every human who wasn't running air conditioning in the middle of summer.

Muhe Municipal Bureau.

Reception Hall.

As soon as Chen Mo walked in, his mood, which had been feeling a bit stifled by the heat, calmed down.

Whether in his past life or his current one, whenever he felt dizzy from the heat, the moment he turned on the air conditioning, he would silently thank the person who invented it in his heart.

He scanned the hall; there weren't many people handling business at the moment, only three couples.

But his attention wasn't on these people.

On a long bench to the side, several small children were playing with various toys, and Lin Xixi was among them.

Chen Mo actually recognized the toys in their hands.

He heard that it was because people handling business were used to bringing their children along, and when the children were unhappy, they would cry and make a scene. During busy times, the reception hall would be as noisy as a wet market.

Coordination between the police officers and the parents was useless; if they couldn't be soothed, they just couldn't be.

Helpless, they applied for funds to buy some toys, and when the children cried, they would give them the toys to play with. This trick really solved the problem.

"Chen Mo, do you plan to ask now?" Long Hao asked hesitantly.

Looking at Xiao Xi's state, she must have just woken up after crying herself to sleep; asking her now would inevitably make her cry again.

"Forget it."

Seeing that the child had finally become happy and had used the toys to distract herself, going up now would really be a buzzkill.

The focus right now should be on Song Wei, who would be brought back later.

After saying this, the two turned and left.

Meanwhile, on Lin Xixi's side, there were still a few tear stains on her cute, oval-shaped face. She was wearing a white dress that reached her knees, printed with little pink flowers. She hugged the red Teletubby in her arms tighter; this gave her a sense of security.

"Mine isn't fun, I want to play with yours!"

A little boy to the side held a Rubik's cube in his hand, having turned it for a long time without solving even one side. In his anger, he decided not to play with it anymore and made a request to swap.

Lin Xixi shook her head gently upon hearing this and said in a small voice: "I don't want to."

"What did you say!?"

The little boy looked somewhat angry; never in his life had anyone dared to refuse his demands!

He reached out, grabbed the head of the Teletubby, and with a forceful tug, pulled it from Lin Xixi's arms.

"Bleh."

The little boy pulled down his eyelid and made a face.

"You can't do that, the toy isn't yours either!"

Lin Xixi got down from the chair and angrily snatched it back from his arms.

Seeing this, the little boy began to wail.

He looked toward his mother, who was handling business at the household registration section not far away.

"Mom, someone is bullying me..."

As soon as the crying started, the little boy noticed that the hand that had snatched the doll back had been withdrawn.

"Hmph! Whatever I want to play with, I will play with!"

After saying this, he lowered his head and began to play by himself.

Lin Xixi, meanwhile, looked nervously toward the little boy's mother at the household registration section.

She didn't dare to fight for it anymore; she no longer had her mom and dad to protect her.

Pursing her lips, she picked up another doll placed to the side and quietly sat back down.

She buried her head in the doll, her mouth tightly shut, as bean-sized tears fell one by one, quickly soaking the front of the doll.

"Xiao Xi, don't cry."

"Xiao Xi, don't cry, Mommy is always by your side."

She was mimicking the words her mother had used countless times in the past to comfort her when she was sad, patting her back.

"Not fun, none of it is fun!"

The little boy threw the Teletubby aside, looking angry.

His gaze fell once again on the doll in Lin Xixi's arms.

He had played with this doll before and didn't actually like it, but he liked things that others thought were good.

"I want to play with yours!"
