Chapter 112 The Elephant in the Room

"There's not enough information for us to draw conclusions, so I think we need to explore why some people lie."

It turns out that you are not as good as me, and you don't even have a basic guess.Secretly slandering Hezi's behavior, Song Qingwan rolled his eyes, and words of counterattack kept pouring into his mind.Showing a smile that represented victory, the girl who had just been hit was about to speak, but Xiao Bai preempted her.

"How about, let's analyze them one by one. Let's talk about Jiang Lin first. Why do you think Jiang Lin concealed the fact that he tried to persuade a fight?"

Being brought into the case by Xiaobai's words, the senior was very interested and was the first to answer his question.

"I think, in Jiang Lin's description, what happened at the camp that day was too clean, and it was no different from an ordinary camp. So, I wonder if Jiang Lin's purpose is to cover up Youran's relationship with Lu Jixuan, Yu Yichen's fight itself?"

Shaking his head, Hu Ling did not agree with the senior's statement. "No, it's unrealistic. With Jiang Lin's intelligence, he should have figured out that we would not only ask him about the day of the camp, but also ask other people. In this way, someone in the class will always tell about the fight. And his lie can be easily exposed. Then, Jiang Lin deceived us with a lie that will be exposed quickly, and the purpose is definitely not to cover up the fight itself."

"A person chooses to lie, usually out of self-interest, that is to say, the person's lies need to bring benefits to himself." Noncommittal about the views of the senior and Hu Ling, Xiaobai focused the discussion on lying the behavior itself.Why did Jiang Lin, who seemed to have nothing to do with the fight, tell them a lie that could not withstand scrutiny?Eh?Wait a minute, Jiang Lin doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fight...

"But what benefits does Jiang Lin's lying bring him? He didn't participate in the fight in the first place, he just stepped in to stop the violence when everyone was in a mess." Looking at Xiaobai suspiciously, the senior suddenly had a flash of inspiration, " Could it be that Jiang Lin lied to cover for others?"

"Cover others?" Putting together the information he had learned so far into a jigsaw puzzle, Hezi stared at the blank space and thought hard.After a while, she sighed and shook her head: "No, this idea is possible, but we lack clues. We know Jiang Lin, Lu Jixuan, Yu Yichen, You Ran, and Zhang Yi, but there are so many more. Students we don’t know existed in this incident. If Jiang Lin is covering others, we lack a target.”

"No, I think we can lock the person Jiang Lin is covering now." Negating Hezi's opinion, the senior's expression became more serious.He first raised his hand to signal the astonished Hezi not to intervene, and then said: "In this fight, there are no more than two groups of forces. The first group is the perpetrator represented by You Ran, and the other group is Lu Jixuan and He Zi. The rebels headed by Yu Yichen. According to everyone's description, it was Youran who beat people first. In our concept, Youran should be the unreasonable party in this incident. On the other hand, Lu Jixuan and the others are justified One side. Jiang Lin wants to cover up for someone. Does he need to cover up someone who is clearly justified? Obviously, he doesn't need to. In this case, there is only one conclusion. He lied for Yuran, to cover up the incident of Yuran beating someone .”

To sort out the whole matter according to the senior's logic, Xiao Baifa asked: "In this case, wouldn't the problem become a cycle?"
