Chapter 37 So This Is the Motive
After school on Monday, in the school magazine, as usual, all the staff arrived and waited for Mo Ming, but Mo Ming was different today, he was a person who knew the truth, and it was nothing to be a little proud, right?
Mo Ming opened the door of the activity room with blank eyes and sat down in his place, everyone stared at him eagerly, but he unhurriedly picked up a cup of hot tea in front of him, took a sip, the fragrance of tea made the tired Mo Ming feel comfortable, and then began to prepare for the meeting.
"Mo Ming......"
Qiu Yanzi stopped talking, her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she looked at Mo Ming.
"What's wrong?"
"That...... The cup is...... It's mine."
"Ugh...... This ......."
Mo Ming panicked, and thought it was poured for himself, ah, this is embarrassing to death, Qiu Yanzi will not dislike himself, then he is a little embarrassed, at this time, Mo Ming glanced at Jiang Wentai, hoping that he could relieve himself. Jiang Wentai smiled knowingly, it seems that he understands, he is worthy of being my spiritual friend, Mo Ming is very grateful.
"Ah, that, Xiao Ming has had the habit of secretly using girls' things since he was a child, so please be considerate."
Jiang Wentai smiled heartily, and Mo Ming cursed this guy in his heart, "Go die."
"Mo Ming...... Perverted."
"The younger brother is so bold......
The other girls looked at Mo Ming like beasts, although men are beasts, but Mo Ming doesn't want to be treated like this, Mo Ming can't argue, spare me.
"Let's talk about this interest later, let's talk about the ending."
Mo Ming thanked the minister for his generosity, but "it will be discussed later." What does it mean, wronged?
"Hinata, then I'll come first."
Chen Yingjie is very confident, her self-confidence comes from her all-night research on the weekend, and diligence can make up for it! This is the same as athletics, hard work will pay off, this is her credo.
"I think the murderer is Lao Ma."
Chen Yingjie directly identified the murderer, and everyone was a little surprised, of course, the most surprised was Mo Ming, because she didn't say that Manager Liu or Secretary Wu was very attentive in terms of direction.
"Why? Yingjie."
"Because, gunshots!"
This answer surprised Mo Ming again, thinking to himself, Old Ma? Is there something wrong with your reasoning? She had clearly noticed the gunshots, which meant that she was probably going in the right direction.
"What's wrong with the gunshots?"
Mo Ming stared at Chen Yingjie seriously, expecting her answer.
"Because if it was a sniper, the gunfire should not be in the office building, but in the real estate company building, so the murderer must be someone from the office building."
Chen Yingjie is a school track and field athlete, and she is very familiar with things like the starting pistol, and the referee who gives the order is at the starting position of the athletes, firstly, considering the time of sound propagation, and secondly, the sound of "popping" in the ears is very obvious. Perhaps it was her acumen as an athlete that she snapped into this crucial detail.
"And then!"
Everyone was surprised, because they couldn't think of this at all, and they were just about to praise Chen Yingjie, but they were interrupted by Mo Ming's curiosity.
"And then...... It was supposed to be a shooting, because there was a gunshot and only the personnel in the security room could bring a gun into the office building. Moreover, Lao Ma stopped Chairman Chen, who did not bring his identity card, before. Lao Ma was also humiliated in public because of this, and he was deliberately made difficult for several years, so the motive is also reasonable...... That's my guess."
Chen Yingjie said that the back was a little empty, because Mo Ming stared at herself, did she have any flaws? Or is it completely wrong? Anyway, she was very nervous.
"Very good......
Mo Ming rarely praised others, but he did not hesitate to give Chen Yingjie what he thought was the highest praise, indeed, he seemed to underestimate this person too much before, and he was ashamed of his preconceived notions.
"Of course, I've spent a lot of time thinking about it."
Chen Yingjie put it on her chest and turned her head arrogantly, but she was actually very happy.
"Xiaoying is really good, but ah...... I think you're probably thinking a little wrong."
"Huh? Where?"
"That, Lao Ma has no conditions to commit a crime, because his job position, and his motive is not sufficient, is he going to take revenge and kill people if he is wearing small shoes? Obviously doesn't make sense, and how do you get your hands on a gun? Do you still need to be a security guard if you have this resource? Of course, I don't disparage the security profession either, it's just that it's unreasonable."
"Ah...... That's right, but ...... But ......."
It's nothing, what Jiang Wentai said is very reasonable, and Chen Yingjie also softened and looked very depressed.
"Xiaoying, don't be depressed, you've done a good job."
Express your own views first, and then praise other people's opinions, Jiang Wentai's high emotional intelligence makes Mo Ming envious, of course Mo Ming himself will not admit it, isn't this flattery?
"What about Wentai's point of view? Tell me about it."
"Actually, I haven't figured it out yet, after reading the novel, I think everyone has a motive, and anyone can be a murderer, but I don't understand who really wants to do this."
"What don't you understand?"
Mo Ming now feels that the members of this school magazine club have strong logical skills.
"I don't know if I can believe the words of the parking lot keeper Xiao Zhang."
"That's right."
Mo Ming nodded, it turned out that everyone had deep thoughts.
After Jiang Wentai finished, it should be Yang Huhu, but Yang Huhu became nervous, looked sorry, struggled for a while, and stood up.
"Excuse me...... Everyone, I don't have time to finish the series over the weekend...... So ......."
"It's okay, Sister Tiger and Tiger sit down, it's tiring to draw comics, I think everyone can understand it."
"Senior Sister Tiger doesn't have to worry about it, Senior Sister still has to review manuscripts and draw comics, which is already very hard."
After the two girls comforted the senior sister, the senior sister sat down slowly, and then it was time for the minister to speak.
The minister was hesitant because she was really unsure.
"As for me, I haven't read much of the reasoning book, and what I say may not be very accurate, so I'll just talk about my opinion here."
Mo Ming is looking forward to everyone's answers, after entering the school magazine, Mo Ming feels that he can't accomplish everything by himself, and it's not bad to cooperate occasionally.
"I think the murderer is Xiao Li in the security room."
Are you seeing the same thing? Mo Ming was very surprised, none of the people in the school magazine locked the murderers on Secretary Wu and Manager Liu, I have to say that they are not ordinary readers, and their ideas and thinking are very novel.
"Why?"
"Oh, Mo Ming is very positive today."
Qiu Yanzi smiled, Mo Ming smashed his mouth, and muttered in his heart, "Long-winded".
"It's just my experience of reading other books, Xiao Li has too much forbearance and humiliation."
"Bear the burden of humiliation? Hinata, it doesn't seem to be shown in the text, does it?"
"It's true that it wasn't directly explained, but it feels this way when it reads, and ah, didn't the novel say that Xiao Li's identity is a little special? Doesn't it seem strange that he used to have a very well-to-do family and was a highly educated person, but he chose a profession as a security guard for no reason?"
"That's right, the point is that this profession also involves a criminal case."
Mo Ming learned the habit of tapping the author's psychology from Yan Xi.
"Well, so I think the murderer should be Xiao Li, and he almost doesn't know anything about other methods, so please......
A pair of big eyes, staring at Mo Ming, there is no doubt that the next action is to lean forward and use illusion on Mo Ming.
However, I'm sorry, I don't have a chance, Mo Ming has to take the initiative to solve the problem today.
"That's a good thing, let me tell you what I think. Xiao Li's father was involved in an incident in many young people, that is, the bidding for a piece of land, and the person in charge at that time was suspected of corruption, but in fact he was framed, and the person in charge was Manager Liu and Chairman Chen, and the insider was Secretary Wu."
"Well, is that official Xiao Li's father?"
"Mo Ming, how do you know, it's not written in the novel."
The two were very surprised, Jiang Wentai was very calm, Mo Ming must have a reason for saying this, Senior Sister Yang Huhu was forced to look at it, and she knew that she would also read the novel first.
"I haven't written it now, but I'll write it in the next chapter."
Mo Ming replied to them with a smile, leaving the two confused.
"Then back to the time of the crime, the strange phone call was made by Manager Liu, the purpose was to call Chairman Chen out and blackmail, Chairman Chen wanted to fight back before he was blackmailed, so he called Secretary Wu out to discuss countermeasures, so the tone on the phone was very anxious. Xiao Li has been secretly observing Chairman Chen at a distance not far away, this distance is to become an office building security guard, but not Chairman Chen's subordinate, because it is difficult to do it if his identity is discovered. Xiao Li learned about this matter, it should be through some means, eavesdropping or surveillance. So I planned this murder case, the purpose is to blame Manager Liu, and let the unjust case many years ago be revealed, so that my father, who died of shame and depression, can rest in peace."
After Mo Ming finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, such a large string of Chinese was really hard for himself.
"Classmate Mo Ming, it's very rigorous."
"But, Mo Ming, what do you think of the technique?"
The explanation of the motive was seamless, but the technique was still very confusing, everyone looked at Mo Ming, Mo Ming sighed lightly, and complained in his heart, "I have to say it again......
Mo Ming explained the technique very completely, including similar triangles, gunshots, the expression of the deceased before death, the hiding of the murder weapon, etc., these things have already been told to Yan Xiyan Wu.
After hearing this, they are very satisfied, can they understand? The thrill of reading the last chapter of a mystery novel and solving all the puzzles can be understood, and now they are in this mood, except for Senior Sister Yang Huhu, who has not read the original work.
"Awesome!"
The minister rarely raised his voice, and he still praised Mo Ming so explicitly.
"But, it's really depressing, high school students write this kind of novel, how to say it, it's very powerful, and it's terrifying."
Jiang Wentai spoke out everyone's thoughts, and it is indeed inappropriate to publish this kind of content in the school magazine.
Mo Ming clasped his hands together, then clenched his fists, leaned back on the chair, looked at the ceiling, and sighed, "Is this a meaningful life?"
"Huh? What does Mo Ming mean?"
"Qiu Linglong's senior, she just wants to challenge herself, publishing this kind of novel in this school magazine that doesn't have so much attention, presumably to pave the way for professional writing in the future."
Mo Ming's words made everyone think, the beasts of adolescence are roaring, and youth is the constant melody, but some people have already considered the direction of the future early, and they are not confused at all.
