Chapter 783: It Can’t Be Solved
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the resort. Mu Qiqi got out of the car and the boys helped to carry the luggage for the girls. A tall, lanky boy walked up to Mu Qiqi and said mysteriously, “It can’t be solved.”
“Huh?”
Mu Qiqi did not understand what he meant.
“Bai Xinyi’s case.”
With that, he carried his luggage and quickly walked to the front of the crowd, leaving Mu Qiqi frowning with some doubts in her heart.
Then, the students checked in. Mu Qiqi and a forthright girl were in the same room. When they were checking in, Mu Qiqi asked the girl, “Shengnan, the tall, lanky boy in front, what’s his name? The one wearing a blue shirt.”
“You’re talking about Grass Boy? Li Congwen. You don’t even know this?” The girl looked at her in surprise. After all, they had been classmates for one or two years. Apart from Sheng Xiao, she indeed only saw corpses.
Mu Qiqi thought about it and still felt that it was necessary to have a chat with the boy.
Therefore, when it was lunchtime, Mu Qiqi found the boy in the resort’s cafeteria and followed behind him to ask, “Can we have a chat?”
Li Congwen turned around and looked at Mu Qiqi. Then, he looked at his classmates and said indifferently, “I don’t want others to misunderstand.”
“I just want to figure out what you meant by what you said this morning.”
“Nothing special. Don’t continue to investigate Bai Xinyi’s case. It won’t do you any good.” After saying that, he quickly left Mu Qiqi’s sight.
With his sort-of advice to this extent, how could his words have no other meaning?
So, after choosing her lunch, she found Li Congwen’s seat and sat down opposite him.
Mu Qiqi had always been cold and aloof. In school, she had no friends and was used to doing things her own way. This was because she felt that Lu Qianqian and the others were enough. Having too many friends would delay her sweet time with Sheng Xiao. Therefore, in the past two years, she and her faculty classmates had almost no communication.
However, she was difficult to get along with, although those who were close to her did not feel that way. Mu Qiqi did not bully others with power, nor did she speak arrogantly and harshly. She just did not like to communicate with others so simply. In her eyes, other than Sheng Xiao, she was a professional.
But this time she went to Grass Boy? How unusual.
It makes you wonder if she’s trying to cheat on her man, but is it okay to do it now and so openly?
Mu Qiqi didn’t care about what other people said. She had always been like that. However, Li Congwen didn’t want to be talked about, so he reminded her. “You’re a married woman now. Don’t act like this.”
“You’re thinking too much. I just have some questions that I want to ask you,” Mu Qiqi replied.
When Li Congwen wanted to leave, Mu Qiqi grabbed his wrist.
“Why did you say that Bai Xinyi’s case couldn’t be solved?”
“Are you so impatient that you want to die?” He was a little anxious.
“There are some things that one has to do. It’s useless to be afraid and avoid it. Just tell me.”
Li Congwen let out a long sigh and finally sat back in his seat.
“Because I tried!”
“Tried what?”
“To find the murderer!” Li Congwen answered seriously. “I tried a year ago, but it resulted in my father becoming a cripple and my mother with a broken arm.”
Mu Qiqi suddenly thought of Old Cheng, who got injured while they were in J City.
The mastermind had used the same method to stop anyone from continuing the investigation.
“You know something about the previous case?” Mu Qiqi immediately thought of the three victims of Changrong.
“The last person who committed suicide was Changrong’s product manager, who’s also my biological sister,” Li Congwen replied. “She left a suicide note and abandoned our family before she took medicine and committed suicide. At that time, our family had clearly agreed to travel abroad and even booked the plane ticket, but she left...”
“After she died, our family didn’t believe that she committed suicide, so I went crazy and searched everywhere for evidence...”
“Did you find any?”
“I found her business card from a hotel in J City. I immediately went over to ask, but the person said that they didn’t know anything. They also said that it had been too long and the surveillance cameras had been wiped out. I wanted to continue investigating, but my parents suddenly had a car accident.
“I know that this is a warning from the murderer. So for the safety of my parents, I can only give up.”
“Do you still remember the name of the hotel?” Mu Qiqi asked.
“You guys should have been to J City, right?”
“Yes, and then a senior got injured, so we returned empty-handed.” Mu Qiqi recalled that at that time, J City and especially Mama Bai had many secrets, but she couldn’t dig deeper because everyone knew that taking a step forward was dangerous.
Li Congwen laughed bitterly. “I don’t know who can solve this case. At the very least, I need to know who my enemy is!”
“Have you told anyone else?”
Li Congwen shook his head. “Who can I tell?”
“Since you told me, does it mean that you still hope for the police to have a breakthrough?”
Li Congwen did not speak. Perhaps he felt that someone could finally understand the pain in his heart after hearing Mu Qiqi mention Bai Xinyi’s case.
“Tell me the name of the hotel. Maybe we can find out more about the two other victims and learn more. I also believe that the truth will come out one day, no matter how well-planned the crime is.”
Li Congwen thought deeply for a moment. Finally, he took out a pen and paper from his bag and told Mu Qiqi the name of the hotel.
“There’s one more thing. I don’t know if it counts as a clue or if it will help you. The incident with my parents at that time caused a chain of accidents, so I don’t think this person can escape.”
“What else do you know?” Mu Qiqi was a little surprised. There were actually so many heavy things hidden in this Grass Boy.
“Back then, in regards to the car accident that hurt my parents, the court sentenced the driver of the accident to only bear 15% of the responsibility. It was clearly intentional murder, but in the end, with the clever argument by the lawyer, the driver was actually found to be innocent.
“I’ll never forget that scene and that young lawyer for the rest of my life.”
Then, Li Congwen wrote another name on the paper. “Shen Yu.”
“How do you know that this lawyer is related to your sister’s case?”
“It’s simple. The driver who caused the accident didn’t have money, so he definitely couldn’t afford to hire such a lawyer. The only explanation would be that the people behind the murderer are responsible.”
Mu Qiqi nodded after hearing that. It was indeed true. That made sense.
