Chapter 719 - 729: Inference (3)
Yan Jiu also frowned: "This is troublesome. Initially, I thought if push came to shove, we could frame Qiao Yun. I didn’t expect her face was surgically altered."For a moment, the men fell into silence, their eyes collectively settling on the video footage.
Fu Nancheng had watched the video many times, but only upon seeing this footage did he gradually understand why Qiao Dehou claimed that Qiao Mo’s memory loss was due to falling from the rooftop.
If his guess was correct, Qiao Mo was the girl he met years ago.
The reason Qiao Dehou did such a thing was likely because he thought the car accident was caused by Qiao Mo. He had been spending a lot to bribe officials and undoubtedly put considerable thought into erasing the fire and accident from eight years ago, to spare Qiao Mo from criminal responsibility.
After playing the video again, Fu Nancheng spoke: "Based on the current information, let’s first assume the fire and car accident were real. The problem with the car accident lies either with the driver, Xiao Mo, or with the vehicle itself."
Qin Zhaoran hesitated but couldn’t resist speaking: "Nancheng, have you considered that maybe Qiao Mo, after causing the fire, fled in a panic by car? At 16, maybe her driving skills weren’t sufficient, thus leading to these accidents in her panic."
Fu Nancheng fell silent, his large hands tightly clasped together.
This was the last scenario he wanted to believe or consider.
If everything was indeed as Qin Zhaoran said, he couldn’t imagine what kind of pain and disaster all of this would be for Qiao Mo.
"I still believe the situation is not that simple. If there were no external influences, with Xiao Mo’s character, she would definitely stop the car after hitting someone, rather than fleeing."
Qin Zhaoran nodded: "But maybe in her terror, Qiao Mo never thought of stopping or saving anyone. You know, the human brain often goes blank after a huge shock."
Fu Nancheng lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Even if she did it, I won’t let her go to a place like prison!"
Qin Zhaoran fell silent.
In fact, it wasn’t that he doubted Qiao Mo or anything like that.
He just felt Fu Nancheng was too tightly wound lately, and he wanted him to be prepared for the worst-case scenario, to avoid being unable to bear it in the end.
While the two were talking, Yan Jiu rewound the video tape a few seconds: "Third Brother’s analysis was correct, the person in the video is indeed Little Sister Qiao, but there seems to be something wrong with the car."
As he spoke, he once again attracted their attention.
"Look at this photo and the footage. You can see Little Sister Qiao looking down at her feet, gripping the steering wheel tightly. I suspect she’s stepping on the brake. But from the road traces and the records Third Brother got from the police, her car didn’t leave any brake marks."
"Exactly, and in the footage of the accident, Xiao Mo looks terrified upon realizing she was about to crash into an oncoming vehicle, frantically turning the steering wheel. Xiao Jiu knows cars well, he should know that the speed of the steering wheel’s rotation and the car’s actual turning speed aren’t proportional; it seems to lag significantly. And anyone normal would step on the brake pedal at this moment, but Xiao Mo’s car never stopped." Fu Nancheng calmly analyzed.
"So, you suspect that the brake and steering systems of the car were tampered with?" Yan Yiheng spoke softly.
