I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 55

Su Chun’s fingers flew across the keyboard.

A few seconds later, he stopped.

“Captain, the password has been cracked!”

Su Chun’s voice was filled with excitement.

Chen Mo strode forward, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the lit computer screen.

The screen displays Chang Lili’s computer desktop, with a cute cartoon cat picture as the background.

“Open her instant messaging software.” Chen Mo’s voice was frighteningly calm. “Focus on finding the people she chats with most frequently.”

“yes!”

Su Chun immediately got to work.

Soon, a chat interface for a Tencent QQ account opened.

In my recent contacts list, a name has been pinned to the top, with a pure white profile picture.

The username is very simple, with only two characters.

Yan Bai.

Su Chun opened the chat window, and the dense chat history instantly filled the entire screen.

“Captain, look!”

Even without Su Chun’s prompting, Chen Mo’s gaze had already frozen.

The chat logs were written in an extremely intimate tone, filled with flirtatious banter and sweet nothings between young couples.

[Yanbai: Baby, were you tired from work today?]

[Lily isn’t a pear: I’m okay, I just miss you a little.]

[Yanbai: I miss you too, I want to hear your voice.]

[Lily is not a pear: Ugh~]

The evidence is irrefutable!

This “Yanbai” is the mysterious “him” in the diary!

A boyfriend I met online that even my parents don’t know about!

Chen Mo’s breathing quickened slightly; he knew they were one step closer to the truth.

“Su Chun, adjust the chat history to the early morning of June 1st to 12th.”

“I want to see all her conversations with this Yan Bai before she disappeared!”

Su Chun immediately dragged the mouse, but soon he frowned.

“Captain, no.”

“This computer only saves the chat history for the last seven days; previous records need to be retrieved from the backend server.”

Chen Mo did not hesitate.

“Immediately contact the city bureau’s computer technology department and have them communicate with Tencent.”

“Tell them that this is a major criminal case and that they need urgent assistance.”

He pointed to a string of numbers at the bottom of the computer screen.

“Give them this IP address.”

“Make them provide all the chat logs between ‘Yanbai’ and Chang Lili from June 1st to the early morning of June 12th.”

“Send it to my work phone as quickly as possible!”

“clear!”

Su Chun immediately took out his phone, dialed the technical department, and quickly and accurately recounted the situation.

While waiting, Chen Mo did not sit idle.

He began searching the room carefully again.

Since this “Yanbai” was in an online relationship, could he have sent Chang Lili any gifts or photos?

Any physical object could be the key to identifying him!

Desk drawers, wardrobe corners, under the bed…

Chen Mo turned the entire room upside down, even unfolding and examining the crumpled paper in the trash can.

However, nothing was found.

Apart from the diary and the computer, there was no trace of “Yan Bai’s” existence in this room.

This “Yanbai” is either extremely cautious.

Or… he never intended to leave any trace in the real world from the beginning.

Chen Mo’s heart sank little by little.

Just then, the silence in the room was broken by the sound of a cell phone vibrating.

It was Chen Mo’s work phone.

He immediately swiped the screen.

A series of screenshots were sent over from the computer technology department.

These are the chat logs between Chang Lili and “Yan Bai”!

Chen Mo took a deep breath and quickly swiped the screen, pulling the timeline directly to the end.

June 11, 9:15 PM.

This is the time when Chang Lili gets into a taxi after get off work.

[Lily is not a pear: Yanbai, I’m off work now, in a taxi.]

We’ll be at our agreed meeting place in about forty minutes! I’m so excited!

[Lily is not a pear: [Image]]

She also attached a selfie.

He continued looking down.

A few minutes later, “Yanbai” replied.

[Yanbai: Be careful on the road, baby.]

[Yanbai: I’ll be waiting for you at our usual spot.]

Next came Chang Lili’s reply.

[Lily isn’t a pear: Yes! I did this to see you.]

I deliberately got off at that intersection ahead and walked there to give you a surprise!

[Lily is not a pear: I’m almost there!]

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo’s pupils suddenly contracted!

He finally understood why Chang Lili had gotten off the bus early at that strange intersection!

He suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to pull down.

The last message.

It was sent by “Yanbai”.

That’s an address.

An address accurate to the house number.

[Yanbai: Come here, I’m waiting for you in the room. Unit 3, Room 402, No. 134 Huai’an Road, Shucheng City.]

This is it!

This was the last message Chang Lili received before she disappeared!

“Walk!”

Chen Mo suddenly raised his head, his voice filled with determination.

He grabbed the diary from the table, turned around, and walked out.

“Su Chun, turn off the computer and keep up!”

“Captain Guan! Yan Guangxiu! Let’s go!”

Upon hearing the instruction, Guan Yuexing and Yan Guangxu, who were in the living room, immediately stood up.

Chang Yankuan and Ai Xiaohui were taken aback by this sudden turn of events and didn’t know what to do.

They looked at the police officers rushing by, their faces filled with confusion.

“Officer Chen…”

Chang Yankuan chased after him, his voice trembling.

“Is…is there any news about my daughter?”

Ai Xiaohui followed behind, her eyes, red and swollen from crying, regained a glimmer of light as she stared intently at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo stopped and turned around.

He looked at the couple who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and at the last hope in their eyes.

He opened his mouth, but a thousand words stuck in his throat.

In the end, it all boiled down to three words.

“sorry.”

Ai Xiaohui’s body went limp, and she fell straight backward.

“Xiao Hui!”

Chang Yankuan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly hugged his wife.

Chen Mo strode forward and, together with Chang Yankuan, helped the unconscious Ai Xiaohui to the sofa.

Guan Yuexing immediately stepped forward to help by pinching the philtrum.

A few seconds later, Ai Xiaohui slowly woke up. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at the ceiling.

Immediately, endless grief overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

“My daughter…my Lily…”

She just wept silently, her body trembling violently.

That despair that emanated from the very core of their being moved all the tough guys present.

Chang Yankuan’s eyes were bloodshot. The middle-aged man suddenly grabbed Chen Mo’s arm, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

He roared with all his might, each word distinct and powerful.

“Officer Chen, I beg you… I beg you, you must catch that beast!”

“We must… seek justice for my daughter!”

Chen Mo grasped his wrist with his other hand and nodded solemnly.

“Mr. Chang, don’t worry.”

“I assure you, we will do our best.”

After saying that, he let go of her hand and gave Guan Yuexing and Yan Guangxiu a wink.

The two understood and stayed to continue comforting the family.

Chen Mo didn’t linger. He took Su Chun and quietly left the house.

Go downstairs and get in the car.
