Chapter 119 The Purpose of Arson
Ever since Li Yan hacked into Cheng's favorite computer and got the photos, Su Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. It wasn't until the DNA comparison failed to match, including Yue Chenglin's, that she suddenly had an idea.
Since Yue Chenglin didn’t do what happened to Jiang Minmin, why did he suffer from PTSD?
"Captain, look at this photo carefully." Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the two people in the photo.
The two people in the photo are Yue Chenglin and Jiang Minmin. Yue Chenglin is pressing on Jiang Minmin, whose clothes are in disarray.
"Do these two people look like they are posing for a photo?"
Qi Lei took Su Xiaoxiao's phone, enlarged the picture, and looked at it carefully for a while. It did look like a staged photo.
"My idea is that Yue Chenglin didn't actually do anything that night, but someone made him think he had done something bad, so he has never been able to forgive himself. This is the real reason why he has PTSD."
"I understand what you mean. Someone set a trap. Yue Chenglin might have been mentally ill at the time and was framed. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such photos left behind."
“Yes, although I don’t know the specific details, based on our investigation over the past two days, I think Cheng Xinyi is very suspicious.
Among these four students, Cheng Xinyi likes Yue Chenglin, while Qiu Xiaofeng and Song Zhi both like Cheng Xinyi, especially Qiu Xiaofeng, who is a person with a dependent personality.
He has been very dependent on his mother since he was young. His mother had planned the school, tutoring classes, and majors he would study. But his mother passed away when he was in his second year of high school. His father was busy with work and had no time to take care of him. He seemed to have lost his backbone and didn't know what to do.
He and Cheng Xinyi were not in the same class, but they became familiar with each other after participating in activities together. Cheng Xinyi was a very opinionated person, so he began to rely on her and asked her to help him make decisions on everything, including the school he applied to and the major he chose. He listened to Cheng Xinyi and finally applied to the same school as Cheng Xinyi.
I suspect that this matter was led by Cheng Xinyi, because Jiang Minmin got the best score, and these people couldn't help but feel jealous, especially Cheng Xinyi. She might have learned at this time that Yue Chenglin liked Jiang Minmin.
This should be the main reason why she wanted to deal with Jiang Minmin, but she couldn't do it alone, so the people she would most likely look for would be Qiu Xiaofeng and Song Zhi.
It is hard to say whether Song Zhi listened to her or not, but Qiu Xiaofeng definitely listened to her. They decided to take action on the night of the celebration banquet. They should have planned it well. Cheng Xinyi and Qiu Xiaofeng would send Jiang Minmin home, find an opportunity to take action on the way, and then disguise it as a serial injury case.
However, something unexpected happened before the end of the dinner. Cheng Xinyi heard Teacher Zhang asked Yue Chenglin to send Jiang Minmin home. If this happened, their plan would be ruined.
So, they should have teamed up to get Yue Chenglin drunk or put something in his wine, thinking that he would not be able to go to send Jiang Minmin off. However, they did not expect that Yue Chenglin still managed to follow them and saw what they did.
No, maybe they just thought he saw something. The fact that he was photographed by them showed that he was not in his right mind at the time, and it was only his obsession to send Jiang Minmin home that kept him following.
But they were worried, and only if he became their accomplice would he not tell anyone about the incident, so the staged photos and the filming took place.
Of course, these are all my guesses, and the details may vary, but this is probably the general situation. "
Qi Lei nodded. This was indeed the most reasonable idea at the moment, but there was still a problem that had not been solved.
"None of the three of them assaulted Jiang Minmin, so who assaulted Jiang Minmin?"
"I haven't figured this out yet, but the most likely possibility is that after they left, someone discovered Jiang Minmin, saw the fragile girl like a petal, and had evil thoughts. Not only did they not call the police, but they took advantage of the situation and did something worse than an animal. I just haven't figured out who this person is."
Qi Lei frowned, and suddenly he thought of something.
"If what we speculate is true.
Yue Chenglin thought he had violated Jiang Minmin and that was why he developed PTSD. After he became ill, his family must have known about it. Although no one suspected him at that time, there was liquid left by the suspect in the evidence, and his uncle Mo Jie would have known about it after just a little inquiry. So, he took the opportunity of the relocation to steal the evidence.
So now the question is, if Mojie knew we were reinvestigating this case, what would he do? "
"The evidence from that year is gone, but now we have a living evidence." Su Xiaoxiao pondered, "Zhou Xiaomei is a living evidence. We know that she actually has nothing to do with Yue Chenglin, but Yue Chenglin's family doesn't know. Captain, do you think Yue Chenglin's family will take the risk?"
This is what Qi Lei was actually worried about. He immediately ordered that Zhou Xiaomei be protected. This was originally just an injury case, and he didn't want it to turn into a murder case.
Zhou Xiaomei is currently receiving rehabilitation treatment in a nursing home. Except for her memory which has not fully recovered, her body has almost recovered. She has asked the hospital director for discharge several times, but considering her condition, she needs to be observed for a few more days.
But just when Qi Lei was about to send someone to protect Zhou Xiaomei, he suddenly learned that something happened in the sanatorium.
The nursing home caught fire yesterday at midnight.
The first person to notice something was wrong was a young nurse. She went to change the dressing for an elderly person and when she came out, she noticed a red light coming from near the kitchen.
"It's on fire, it's on fire." She screamed in fear. Those living here were either patients or the elderly, and a fire would be a disaster.
When Su Xiaoxiao and the others arrived, the fire in the sanatorium had already been put out, and the yard was filled with the smell of smoke.
Qi Lei saw Captain Hu directing the firefighters to check the situation at the scene. The patients and elderly people in the sanatorium had been struggling all night and had just returned to their rooms to rest. The director and the nursing staff were still standing in the yard, all with exhausted looks on their faces.
"Captain Hu, what's going on? Is anyone injured?" Qi Lei walked over and asked.
"Fortunately, the fire started in the kitchen and there are no casualties so far. Captain Qi, why are you here?"
"Let's find someone. Do you think this fire was an accident or man-made?"
"Based on the location of the fire, it's more likely to be human-caused. However, I don't quite understand now. This fire only looks scary, but it actually only burned the kitchen and caused some chaos. No one was hurt, and the actual loss was not that great. So what was the purpose of the arsonist?"
As soon as Qi Lei heard this, he knew that trouble was coming and immediately ordered his team members to find Zhou Xiaomei. He had already guessed the purpose of the arsonist.
