I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 15

He picked up the still-warm receiver, turned around, and walked back to Dong Jian.

“What is this? Explain it.”

Dong Jian was held down tightly by Guan Yuexing and Yan Guangxu, his cheek pressed against the cold wall, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

He stared at the receiver in Chen Mo’s hand, his eyes darting around, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

“I…I don’t know…this isn’t mine…”

“Not yours?”

A cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Mo’s mouth.

“Then why is it in your house, and why is it connected to your computer?”

He stepped forward and held the receiver close to Dong Jian’s eyes.

“Do you want me to find the hidden camera across the street and confront you face to face?”

“Spying on others’ privacy and installing eavesdropping and covert photography equipment is a serious crime.”

Every word Chen Mo said was like a heavy hammer, striking Dong Jian’s fragile psychological defenses.

“I…” Dong Jian’s face turned deathly pale instantly.

He completely broke down.

“No! No! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything!”

Dong Jian’s voice was choked with sobs, and his body was as limp as a lump of mud.

“Officer, I was wrong! I was really wrong!”

“I was just confused for a moment… I was just curious… I’ll never do it again!”

“Who were you spying on?” Chen Mo continued to press.

“It’s…it’s the one on the balcony across the street…”

Dong Jian’s voice was barely audible, “I don’t know her name, I just saw her… I saw she was pretty…”

Chen Mo gave Yan Guangxiu a wink.

Yan Guangxu immediately understood, took out his phone from his pocket, pulled up Shi Ying’s photo, and put it in front of Dong Jian.

Is it her?

Dong Jian glanced at it once, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he nodded vigorously like a pestle pounding garlic.

“Yes, yes, yes! It’s her!”

“You and her, is it just a spying relationship?” Chen Mo’s eyes were sharp as knives, as if they could see through people’s hearts.

Dong Jian’s eyes became flustered again, and he stammered, unable to answer.

“To be honest,” Chen Mo emphasized.

“I…I and her…” Dong Jian swallowed hard, his voice trembling even more.

“It only happened once… just once!”

Upon hearing this, Guan Yuexing and Yan Guangxiu were both stunned.

The voyeur and the voyeur actually had a relationship?

The development of this case was truly unexpected.

“when?”

Chen Mo’s expression remained unchanged, but his questions became increasingly pointed.

“I…I can’t remember…”

Dong Jian tried desperately to recall, his face filled with pain.

“It seems…it seems to have been last month? No, it was March! Yes, March!”

Which specific day?

“I…I really can’t remember…”

Dong Jian was about to cry.

“Officer, I have a bad memory, but… but I have a record on my phone!”

“I transferred the money to her that night, right there on WeChat!”

Chen Mo gestured with his chin toward Guan Yuexing.

Guan Yuexing understood, stepped forward, and unlocked the handcuffs on Dong Jian’s hands.

Dong Jian moved his numb wrist.

He nervously pulled his phone out of his pocket, unlocked it, opened WeChat, and searched for a long time.

“Found it! Found it!” He held up his phone screen to Chen Mo as if grasping at a lifeline.

On the screen was a transfer record.

The amount is 3000 yuan.

The recipient was Shi Ying.

Chen Mo noted down the time and the amount.

“Where’s the video you secretly filmed?”

“It’s…it’s on the external hard drive.”

Dong Jian pointed to a drawer next to the computer desk, “I…I sometimes record it…”

“Go get it,” Chen Mo ordered Yan Guangxiu.

Yan Guangxu immediately stepped forward and, guided by Dong Jian, pulled a black portable hard drive from the drawer.

The hard drive was handed to Chen Mo; it was quite heavy.

Perhaps the key to solving the mystery of Shi Ying’s death lies within this.

“Captain,” Guan Yuexing leaned closer to Chen Mo, lowered his voice, and looked puzzled.

“Since this guy had this kind of relationship with the deceased and was spying on her, could it be him…?”

“It’s not him,” Chen Mo interrupted Guan Yuexing, his tone very certain.

His gaze swept over Dong Jian, who was huddled in the corner, still trembling.

“Does he look like someone who would dare to kill someone?”

“This…” Guan Yuexing was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, apart from being sleazy, Dong Jian showed no signs of ruthlessness.

“A person who trembles when speaking to the police does not have the courage or mental fortitude to carry out a meticulously planned murder.”

Chen Mo explained calmly, “He’s just a pervert we accidentally stumbled upon.”

Although it was insignificant, it brought an unexpected “gift”.

Chen Mo weighed the portable hard drive in his hand.

“Xiao Guan, notify Zhan Chi and have him contact Section Chief Lu and Deputy Captain Wu immediately. We have made a major discovery.”

“Yes!” Guan Yuexing immediately took out his phone and started making contact.

“Yan Guangxiu, you’re in charge of this. Take him back to the team and follow the proper procedures.”

“clear!”

After explaining everything, Chen Mo turned to leave.

“Officer! Officer!” Dong Jian suddenly called out to him from behind.

Chen Mo turned around.

Dong Jian was so grateful he was practically kneeling down.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

“…” Chen Mo, Guan Yuexing, and Yan Guangxiu were all stunned.

He was arrested, and he even thanked me?

What kind of operation is this?

“I…I’ve always wanted to quit, but I just can’t control myself…”

Dong Jian spoke incoherently, his voice trembling with tears.

“That’s good… Now that you’ve caught me, I can finally cut ties completely!”

“I’ll never do it again! I promise! Thank you for saving me!”

Chen Mo: “…”

This twisted thought process is truly extraordinary.

He didn’t bother with it anymore and quickly walked out of the room with Guan Yuexing.

…

downstairs.

A black Passat was parked quietly on the side of the road.

As soon as Chen Mo and Guan Yuexing reached the car, the car door opened.

Lu Mingrui, head of the investigation section of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Wu Che, deputy captain of the Fifth Team, got out of the car.

Lu Mingrui is a middle-aged man who looks very refined and has the air of a scholar.

“Section Chief Lu, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” Chen Mo stepped forward, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

“It’s nothing.” Lu Mingrui waved his hand, his gaze falling on Chen Mo with approval.

“Xiao Chen, I knew it. Handing the case over to you was the right decision.”

“Section Chief Lu, you flatter me.”

Chen Mo did not take credit, but calmly stated the facts: “I was just lucky to have discovered some new clues.”

Wu Che, standing to the side, did not have such a friendly expression.

He was a few years older than Chen Mo and had more seniority. He was one of the top candidates for captain.

In the end, it was Chen Mo, an “outsider,” who parachuted in, and he naturally had a lot of ambition in his heart.

“Chen Mo, how’s the situation?” Wu Che’s tone was firm and businesslike.

Chen Mo handed over the portable hard drive he was holding.

“The suspect, Dong Jian, is not the murderer, but we obtained this from him.”

“What is this?” Wu Che frowned as he took the hard drive.

“The deceased Shi Ying’s neighbor, a voyeur.”

Chen Mo explained succinctly.

“He not only used a pinhole camera to spy on Shi Ying for a long time, but also had money transactions and an improper relationship with Shi Ying before the incident.”

“This hard drive contains all the videos he secretly recorded.”

Wu Che’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Lu Mingrui’s expression instantly turned serious.

This discovery is absolutely crucial!

It could almost overturn all previous directions of investigation!

“Let’s go back to the car and talk,” Lu Mingrui decided immediately.

The group quickly got into the car.

Wu Che couldn’t wait to take a laptop from the passenger seat and connect the external hard drive.

The computer screen lit up, and a folder named “My Goddess” appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The folder was opened by double-clicking.

The screen was instantly filled with a dense array of video files.

The filenames are even more explicit and direct—”The Goddess’s Bathroom Time,” “The Goddess’s Bedroom Secrets,” “The Goddess Changing Clothes”…

Wu Che’s expression changed completely after just one glance.
