I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.

Chapter 116 Is it a mistake?

At the end of Cheng Xinyi's novel, none of the girl's classmates were the murderer, but the murderer was actually the girl's teacher.

The girl was very beautiful and the teacher had liked her since early on. After his confession was rejected, he became angry and killed the girl, and put the blame on several classmates.

Interesting, a teacher kills someone and puts the blame on the student?

"Do you think what she wrote in her novel is true?" Li Yan came over and asked after they finished reading.

"Why do I feel that what she wrote seems very real? Look at Cheng Xinyi's description of the girl. It should be Jiang Minmin. Her classmates are also three boys and one girl. Doesn't it look like she and the other three boys? Maybe she knows the truth of that year.

Senior sister, what do you think? "

"It's hard to say. I don't think what she wrote is necessarily true. But you are right about one thing. She may know something about what happened back then, but she just didn't say it."

When she met Cheng Xinyi yesterday, although what she said sounded flawless, she just felt that she was hiding something, but she didn't know what she was hiding?

"Let's go and meet Cheng Xinyi again."

This time they did not go to Cheng Xinyi's house. When the police found her again, she did not seem to be surprised. She just said that it was not convenient with her mother at home. She did not want to go to the criminal investigation team and felt a little scared, so they made an appointment to go to a cafe.

When Su Xiaoxiao and the others arrived, Cheng Xinyi was already waiting for them.

There were not many people in the coffee shop in the morning. The box was very quiet and the room was filled with the aroma of coffee. Cheng Xinyi thoughtfully ordered coffee for them.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"You don't seem surprised at all that we're coming to you again?"

"Well, this case has been over for many years. The police suddenly came to investigate again. Naturally, they want to reopen the case, so they won't just ask once."

"Yes, I forgot. You once wrote a suspense novel. You should be very familiar with our police's case handling procedures."

"Yes, you can make up stories when writing other novels, but suspense novels need to be logical, and readers are very picky. If there is one thing that doesn't fit, they will scold you in the comments. So, there is no other way, you have to do a lot of homework."

"You only wrote this one suspense novel and won't write any more. Why?"

"It's just too tiring, so I'd rather write romance to relax."

"Do you know why we came to see you again today?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Cheng Xinyi picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip. She wanted a cup of black coffee, which tasted bitter but was refreshing.

"I think it's because of the novel I wrote."

"Yes, your novel was based on Jiang Minmin's story, right? Why did you want to write about this? Or did you know something about what happened back then but you didn't tell the police."

"Indeed, when I was writing, the heroine in my mind was Jiang Minmin. As you know, novels are based on life, but they are higher than life. The following plots are all made up by me, not true."

"There's one thing I've never figured out. Why did you and Qiu Xiaofeng insist on sending Jiang Minmin home after the celebration banquet? Your two homes aren't actually on the same route as Jiang Minmin's, so sending her home was actually a detour."

"We went to college in the same city as hers, so we wanted to communicate more."

"As for communication, the celebration party lasted so late, isn't that enough time for you to communicate? And as far as I know, you don't have a good relationship with her. In fact, among the top ten students in the grade, she is the only one who is excluded by all of you. So, do you think your excuse is tenable?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked into Cheng Xinyi's eyes and did not urge her to speak.

Under her gaze, Cheng Xinyi's eyes were a little flustered. She picked up the cup, took a sip, then put it down, her hands clasped together nervously.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." She finally spoke, "Actually, I wanted to send her back that day on purpose."

"why?"

"Because I have a feeling something bad is going to happen to her."

"I didn't expect that you are also a master of metaphysics?" Su Xiaoxiao sneered. This sentence could not fool the police.

"Actually, I heard something before." Cheng Xinyi gritted her teeth, "During the celebration banquet, I suddenly had a stomachache, so I went to the bathroom. I didn't expect to overhear a conversation between two people. They mentioned Jiang Minmin and what happened at night. I felt that they were going to do something bad to her.

Although I don't like Jiang Minmin, we are all girls after all, and I didn't want anything to happen to her, so after the celebration banquet, I took Qiu Xiaofeng and Jiang Minmin to walk together. When we reached the fork in the road, she didn't let us see her off. I thought it was not far from her home, and there should be nothing to worry about, so I walked away with Qiu Xiaofeng.

Who knew she would end up in trouble, so I have always regretted it, if I had just walked her to the door that night."

"Who are those two people you are talking about?"

"The voice is a little familiar, but I didn't see anyone, so I didn't dare to say anything."

"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter who you say it is. We will investigate the matter ourselves."

"One of the voices sounded very much like Yue Chenglin, but I couldn't recognize the other one."

"I have another question. Why didn't you tell me about this back then?"

"I dare not say. I didn't hear it clearly. Besides, Yue Chenglin's relative works in the Public Security Bureau. I heard he's a leader. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and offend them."

Su Xiaoxiao stared at her expression. Her uneasiness and nervousness were real, and it didn't seem like she was lying.

After coming out of the cafe, the three got into Xiao Yu's car.

"Senior Sister, what do you think of what Cheng Xinyi said? Is what she said true or false?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Whether it's true or not, we can just go and ask Yue Chenglin and we'll know." Su Xiaoxiao said.

As criminal police, they believe that what they hear is not as good as what they see. They must have evidence for everything and cannot believe anyone's words without evidence.

Yue Chenglin is also 39 years old this year. He is tall and handsome. He was a handsome guy when he was young. Even now, he is the most popular handsome uncle among young girls.

Speaking of what happened that night, Yue Chenglin did not deny that he did mention Jiang Minmin when he was talking to another person, and that person was Teacher Zhang, the current Dean of Studies. Teacher Zhang was afraid that it was too late and it would be unsafe for Jiang Minmin to go back alone, so he asked him to see her off when he left.

When he left, he saw Cheng Xinyi and Qiu Xiaofeng taking Jiang Minmin away. He thought that since someone had sent her home, he would not care. Who knew that something would happen in the end? Later, when he found out about this, he felt very guilty. He did not expect that Cheng Xinyi and Qiu Xiaofeng did not send Jiang Minmin home.

Two people told different stories about the same thing. Is it a coincidence, or is someone deliberately lying?
