Chapter 60
Chen He spoke in a clear rhythm, each step clearly planned. "You don't understand Teacher Feng. She's not the timid, silent type. If Yu Ai'ai were to follow her, Teacher Feng's goal was to distract Xu Candong. The louder the noise, the more attention she would draw."
"And when she ran into the base gate, Xu Candong hadn't caught up with her yet, so why didn't she shout?
"You've been to the base. The gate isn't far from the building. In the middle of the night, if Teacher Feng just shouted, all the teachers and students in the building would wake up. Why didn't she shout?"
"Is it possible that he was too panicked and forgot to shout?" According to the principles of investigation, Chang Ting must consider all reasonable possibilities.
"Teacher Feng isn't a little girl. She had the courage to lead Xu Candong away, but she didn't have the guts to shout? Officer Chang, based on your experience, does that make sense?"
Unreasonable. These three words were written on Chang Ting's face.
"What's even more unreasonable is yet to come."
Chen He clicked the play button on the video and said in the voice of Ai Ai crying:
"According to Yu Aiai, she was merely helping Xu Candong get Qiu Yue out, and she did so without foreseeing the serious consequences. This was at most a mistake, and she carries no legal responsibility.
"Xu Candong actually used this little thing to threaten her, asking her to help perjure herself and then remain silent for five years?
"This is a murder case, and she's just a witness. If she had told the truth at the time, the police could have arrested Xu Candong on the spot.
"Why would she become a criminal for harboring such a rotten person?"
Chang Ting opened his mouth: "Maybe... because of stupidity?"
"She's stupid, but more selfish. From a selfish perspective, it doesn't make sense. There's only one explanation."
"What?" Chang Ting asked in a hoarse voice.
"She wasn't protecting Xu Candong, but another man she loved so deeply that she was willing to commit crimes for him!"
Chang Ting wanted to argue, but found he didn't know what to say. He could only raise his hand weakly: "Go on."
Chen He was not polite.
She pointed with her chin at the camera hidden in the corner of the room. "I almost got the details out of her that day, but someone happened to message her and interrupted me. I failed at the last moment."
Chang Ting remembered this part of the surveillance video and said, "You stole her phone that day. Did you see anything?"
"I saw it. Someone with the handle 'Male God 001' sent her a WeChat message, asking her to meet up. I suspect it's the person she's protecting."
"Why are you so suspicious?"
Chen He thought for a moment and said, "Because when I saw Yu Aiai again, she was tight-lipped. Someone must have warned her to keep her mouth shut.
"I tricked her into checking her phone again, and Man God 001 was gone. Maybe he deleted it, or maybe he didn't, and just changed the note. She can't think of that. Man God 001 must have taught her that."
"Just guessing again." Chang Ting said this, but he knew that her guesses were often accurate.
Chen He leaned back in her chair. "You don't believe it, do you? Did you get Yu Aiai's phone? You have the data recovery technology, right? Just restore the WeChat records and find out the real name of Male God 001. If you dig deeper, you'll definitely find something."
Chang Ting fell silent again.
Chen He asked: "What?"
Chang Ting sighed: "Her phone has been restored to factory settings."
Chen He frowned and looked at him, his stern eyes reminded him of Xiao Pingyuan.
Chang Ting felt a little guilty: "Why are you glaring at me? It's not like I did it.
"Our technical department colleague said that her phone didn't have a cloud backup, and that the data had been overwritten in the past few days, so it couldn't be restored. She could only retrieve her friend list from the WeChat operator's backend.
"She has over a thousand friends... no matter if they've been deleted or not, no one suspected to be 001 has been found so far."
Chen He said depressedly: "Restore the phone to factory settings? This is too suspicious."
Chang Ting disagreed. "That's easy to understand. It's common for people to format their phones and clear their computers before committing suicide to avoid revealing shameful privacy. I've seen this happen many times."
Chen He thought about it and slowly shook his head: "I don't think Yu Aiai would commit suicide. She is extremely selfish. She can easily hurt others, but she won't hurt herself easily."
Chang Ting suddenly sneered: "You are trying to shirk responsibility for the fact that your comics caused people to die."
Chen He raised his eyes, his gaze was like a knife, and his tone was cold:
"Officer Chang, please clear your mind. Even though this so-called suicide video is full of lies and denies that she pushed me off the cliff.
"But she at least admitted that it was she who took Qiu Yue out of the dormitory, which led to her murder; if she had called the police in time, Qiu Yue might have been saved."
Chang Ting's eyes flickered, but he remained silent. Knowing the exact autopsy results, he knew better than Chen He that this was indeed a possibility.
Chen He continued, "I also admitted that it was her perjury that led to Qiu Yue and Teacher Feng, who was murdered while protecting her, being wrongly accused for five years. At least I didn't slander her in these two matters."
Chen He emphasized the words, "Even if she committed suicide, was it because I forced her to death, or was she committing suicide out of fear of punishment for what she had done?"
Chang Ting was so dissatisfied that he raised his voice: "If she only did these two things, her crime is not punishable by death!"
Chen He's tone was as cold as frost: "That's your opinion, or rather, the legal measure."
Chang Ting looked at her with mixed feelings: "You mean, in your opinion, she deserves to die."
"I'm not that desperate."
Chen He's lips curled up slightly. "Why don't you ask Qiu Yue and Teacher Feng whether Yu Aiai deserves to die in their opinion?"
