At that moment, her parents were kneeling in front of the memorial, weeping uncontrollably.
Their voices were low, as if afraid of waking their daughter.
Beside them stood two children, a boy and a girl, both quite young. The boy appeared even smaller.
I had never feared the dead, but I was afraid of ghosts. So every time I saw a memorial, I would avoid it.
But this time, I had no choice but to steel myself and step forward.
After lighting three sticks of incense for Wu Jiajia, I helped her parents to their feet.
I gently offered my condolences, saying, "Please accept my deepest sympathies."
"I came to ask a few questions."
"Do you know if Jiajia was close to any male classmates?"
Wu Jiajia's parents paused, exchanging glances with each other.
Wu Jiajia's mother shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"I've never heard her mention any male classmates."
I frowned and pressed on, "What about outside of school?"
"Like online friends, neighbors, or teachers?"
"Has she mentioned anyone to you?"
Wu Jiajia's Mother shook her head and said, "That's impossible."
"Our Jiajia would never associate with bad boys."
Wu Jiajia's Father nodded in agreement.
I let out a small sigh.
It seemed they were unwilling to cooperate.
Perhaps for them, it was a matter of great embarrassment.
But I didn't give up.
I continued to ask, "Do you know when she started dating anyone?"
Wu Jiajia's Mother appeared to be growing impatient.
She glared at me and shouted, "I already said I don't know!"
"Our Jia Jia is a good girl."
"How could she possibly do something like that?"
"And we are fully aware of her private life."
"How could you even ask such a question?"
I hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything about your Jia Jia."
"I just wanted to understand the situation."
Wu Jiajia's mother trembled with anger.
She pointed towards the door and said sternly, "Get out!"
"All of you, get out!"
With a sigh of resignation, I had no choice but to leave the villa.
Before I left, I glanced back at the mourning hall.
Wu Jiajia's photo was still smiling.
But her gaze seemed to carry a hint of sorrow, as if she were trying to convey something.
I shook my head and drove back to the Criminal Investigation Unit.
Upon returning, I reported the situation truthfully to Officer Li.
He informed me that he had also inquired with the school.
Wu Jiajia's classmates and friends were unaware of her having any intimate relationships with any males.
Moreover, no one had heard her mention being forced into any kind of relationship.
Officer Li said, "It seems we can only explain it this way."
"Wu Jiajia had a chaotic private life."
"Being young and not knowing how to protect herself is what led to her contracting HIV."
I nodded in agreement, saying, "That's what I think too."
Next, Officer Li and I reviewed the entire investigation process together.
The crime scene, the suspect's confession, the motive for the murder, and the integrity of the evidence and witnesses.
Every detail was flawless.
It could be said that this was a solid case.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Officer Li, do you think Qin Feng will be sentenced to death?"
Officer Li shook his head and said, "It's unlikely."
"Although Qin Feng is a murderer, she is also a victim of Campus Bullying."
"I believe the court will consider reducing her sentence."
I nodded and asked, "So how many years do you think she might get?"
Officer Li pondered for a moment and replied, "That depends on how the judge assesses the severity of the Campus Bullying."
"If the judge believes the circumstances are less serious, then Qin Feng might receive a sentence of less than ten years."
"But if the judge finds the circumstances to be more severe, then Qin Feng could be sentenced to more than ten years."
I was secretly astonished.
I hadn't expected the consequences of Campus Bullying to be so severe.
