Chapter 61: Another Truth

"Xiao Nan, if you were a criminal, what time would you choose to commit the crime?"

Mo Ming was a little confused, how could he put the dead mouse in the drawer unknowingly? The big recess and noon are too conspicuous, and once they are discovered quickly, then the prisoners will be easily screened out.

How, exactly?

Suddenly asked like this, Luo Nan began to think carefully, and after a while, he seemed to have an answer.

"If it were me, I'd make sure I wouldn't be found out first."

"How?"

"When it happens, I'll make it obvious to me that I'm not there."

"Is it an alibi?"

"That's right, the best proof is that someone has a witness, right?"

"Witness...... In other words, as long as someone can prove that they are not in the classroom at the time of the crime, is it enough?"

"Yes."

Mo Ming closed his eyes and thought.

Who can prove it? Mo Ming thought of what he was doing before the last class. He walked out of the classroom with a group of people in a very noisy manner, and he also came back together very noisy, so if the time of the crime was a big recess, how could it be ruled out. At noon, Mo Ming went to his cousin's house to eat today, I don't know what He Yu is doing, but according to his usual habits, He Yu will eat in the cafeteria with his friends. If this is the case today, then noon can also be ruled out. Are they all ruled out......

Is that possible? His friends helped him commit the crime! No, no...... That's not realistic.

Mo Ming is now starting to stick to He Yu, indeed, what Mo Ming thinks to himself is, if He Yu is a prisoner, how good it would be.

Unconsciously, Mo Ming had closed his eyes for a while, but he didn't have the kind of expression change that thought about what was going on. Luo Nan patted him on the shoulder, and he came to his senses.

"What's wrong? Don't have a thought yet?"

"Probably a little bit......

Mo Ming was a little cold, this was not a guessed performance, Luo Nan knew Mo Ming's habits, but why did he say this? You know, even if Mo Ming knows something, he won't say it without absolute certainty, what's wrong today?

"Do you want to keep thinking?"

Luo Nan asked Mo Ming with concern, Mo Ming shook his head, he didn't seem to be interested, and his eyes were very gloomy.

"Then let's go back today."

Luo Nan felt that something was wrong with Mo Ming like this, although he couldn't say what was wrong.

"Well, let's go first."

In this way, the two did not come to any conclusions. After dreaming in the classroom, they went home.

Mo Ming, who returned home, sat on the sofa, hung his head, was not interested in today's cross talk program on TV, and he didn't have any appetite, so he sat dryly.

"There is no known condition, and you can't ask the victim, so what should you do? What should Holmes do?"

Mo Ming completely forgot that his role was not Sherlock Holmes, but Watson, and he should be thinking about what Watson should do, right?

Say some stupid subjective assumptions?

Mo Ming dialed a phone call, leaning his back against the wall, he was not sure that the other party would answer the phone. Because he remembered Senior Sister Liu Yi, when she was threatened, the fear was still shocking.

More than ten seconds later, no one answered, the phone was still "toot", half a minute later, no one answered, Mo Ming was about to give up, just about to put down the phone, the electronic sound "beep" just stopped.

"Squad leader! Are you there?"

Mo Ming said meaningless words, his tone was excited, and the sense of oppression contained was very obvious, he also felt his gaffe, thinking that this was too tough and not suitable, so his tone calmed down slightly.

"Are you alright?"

It was very quiet on the phone, so quiet that people couldn't help but think, is there really anyone over there? The answer is yes, after a delay of more than ten seconds, a weak, somewhat trembling voice came.

"Hmm."

"That's fine, why didn't you go home directly after school?"

Mo Ming thought to himself that He Yu might do something.

"Well, he's been comforting me."

The squad leader's words were cold and weak, and Mo Ming felt a little depressed, but he still had to continue to ask, because it was necessary.

"How did he comfort him?"

Mo Ming asked cautiously.

"He...... He said, "I'm not wrong, and if I'm wrong, I'll be on my side."

It's really a confession that hits people's hearts, and this can already be said to be taking advantage of people's danger.

"Why did you mention this all of a sudden? Did the squad leader do something?"

Mo Ming was very puzzled, what did they say, how could they lead the topic to the point of right and wrong?

"That...... That ......."

The tone over there was suddenly a little excited, trembling even more, Mo Ming felt depressed, the same depression as Senior Sister Liu Yi, and the next moment was ...... Sobbed.

"I...... I don't know, I always feel that everything I have done lately is problematic, and being a class president in high school is different from junior high school...... I want everyone to be better, the class to be better, but ...... But why ......?"

The class leader sobbed and made a fuss, and said a lot of things at once, Mo Ming summed it up that the class leader did a lot of things that he thought was good for his classmates, such as advising students not to copy homework, not to cheat in exams, not to deliberately skip class, and not to bully classmates...... If you follow the mainstream values, Yan Wu undoubtedly represents justice, but the students who received this kind of advice felt that she was meddling, so there were some contradictions between Yan Wu and the students, and this contradiction seemed irreconcilable in Yan Wu's tone.

Mo Ming listened to Yan Wu's catharsis quietly, feeling depressed and contradictory, but he couldn't think of any words of comfort, he definitely didn't have anything to say about comforting people, so what could he do?

A thought flashed through Mo Ming's mind, so be it.

"Squad leader, I think you can just continue to meddle like this."

Mo Ming said inexplicable words in a gentle tone, and the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then became confused.

"Mo Ming, what are you?"

"Listen to me, the dead rat in the drawer didn't put it in by someone else."

Mo Ming's tone was very sincere, he had never said anything panicked in this tone, and the phone was a little shaken.

"That...... How do you know?"

How did Mo Ming know? This is a serious question, what does Mo Ming know? It's a bit contrary to principle, but that's the way it can be now.

"That...... I've been in the classroom all day today, just like usual, I haven't gone anywhere, I've been guarding the class leader's position, and I haven't seen anyone stuff the rats into the class leader's drawer, it's impossible, yes."

Mo Ming said very clever words, a little flamboyant not like him, naturally there was some suspicion.

"That...... So how did the rats get in? It's still a dead one."

The key question, how do the rats get in, has to be solved here.

"Oh, I was about to tell you this."

Mo Ming's tone was not wavering, it didn't look like a bluff, it seems that the characters brought in in the past two days still have a certain effect.

"Then tell me ......?"

The tone of the man over there changed from depressed and trembling to a hint of doubt and curiosity.

"Squad leader, what do you put in your drawer?"

"Huh? This one, the book, the ......."

"No, there's something else."

"Something else...... Let me think about it, I remember there was a sachet......

"That's right, it's a sachet, and it's musky, so, do you understand?"

Mo Ming asked Yan Wu rhetorically, Yan Wu was a little confused, was it wrong to put the sachet?

"What's wrong with the sachet?"

"There's a big problem with the sachet, musk is a thing that can easily attract mice, don't you know?"

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, the scent is the most appealing to mice, especially this one."

"But it's not going to kill a rat, is it?"

Mo Ming's words are very debatable, and Yan Wu's rebuttal is also very reasonable. But once Mo Ming plans to lie, he will definitely be as complete as possible.

"Rats are not smoked, they are suffocated."

"Suffocating?"

Mo Ming's words were astonishing, and Yan Wu was a little more puzzled, a mouse is a living life with intelligence, how could it be stupidly suffocated, it is too impossible.

"Listen to me, this morning, the rat was attracted by the musk, got into your drawer, and then took a bite of the sachet, and was stunted, and you stuffed the books on the table into the drawer, and the drawer was crowded, and the dizzy rat couldn't breathe air, and before it could react, it suffocated, and it was like this."

After Mo Ming finished explaining, he was a little flustered, there were some bugs in his words, I hope Yan Wu won't notice, please!

After being stunned for a long time, Yan Wu didn't speak, Mo Ming became even more nervous, what would she say? How should I answer that? Too nervous.

"Mo Ming...... You ......."

Are you wrong? What are you talking nonsense? You haven't seen it at all, have you?

"How do you know I have this habit?"

Yan Wu's tone was very surprised, beyond Mo Ming's expectations, but in this way, it means that he didn't notice it, and Mo Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't I sit behind the squad leader, and I was always watching, so I found out about ......."

"Often?"

Yan Wu had a slight crack.

"Not often...... I'll take a look at it when I have time......

What are you talking about? Like an idiot...... Mo Ming was a little disgusted to himself......

"That's right...... I see......

Yan Wu repeated his words, not deliberately emphasizing anything, as if he was saying it to himself.

"Huh? Something is wrong, when I take a book from a drawer in the morning, don't I find a mouse?"

Yan Wu paid attention to a point, Mo Ming became a little nervous, his brain was running at high speed, and he was very reluctant to produce results.

"The rats were in there, and then the light was a little dim in the morning...... I guess you didn't notice it, did you?"

"Listen to you...... I don't seem to have paid attention to it, but I seem to have seen it...... Is there any? If so...... One live mouse and one in my drawer! And then slowly die?"

Well, what about the Locked Room Raticide case.

"That's probably it......

"It's terrifying!"

It's a little scary...... If that's really the case.

"Well, that's the way it is, you think, it's hard to put a dead mouse in a drawer, first of all, where to put the mouse first? Then, how can you strike when no one is around, and finally, if you are discovered in advance, won't it arouse suspicion?"

These were Mo Ming's questions, and he threw it at Yan Wu, trying to answer the question with questions.

There is also a sachet about musk, Mo Ming deliberately opened a hole like a rat's tooth mark on it before going home, just in case of emergency.

The technique was analyzed by Mo Ming as if it were like that.

"That's right...... That's right, then...... So ...... say."

Yan Wu woke up a little, he thought that there was nothing wrong with him, it was not that others were retaliating against him, but by coincidence, everything was his own imagination, and everyone actually had no opinion on themselves at all!

"Well, yes, the class leader has always been a respected and good class leader, and everything he has done is for the sake of his classmates, don't think about it, just stick to it."

Since Mo Ming is sincere, even if this kind of words are a little sleek, Mo Ming can say it naturally.

"Well, thank you, I almost put a trumped-up charge on my classmates."

The squad leader went from tears to laughter, just a phone call, and Mo Ming succeeded.

"Well, no thanks, let's rest early, I'm going to school tomorrow."

"Of course, good night."

"Good night."

Hanging up the phone, Mo Ming's face turned bad, and he understood Luo Nan's anger, the nature of this kind of thing is indeed too bad, and the prisoner is already disqualified as a human being. Mo Ming made up his mind to find him!
