I scanned the entire dormitory but didn't see anything suspicious. 0
 
"Who are you? How did you just walk into our dorm?" a boy with a buzz cut asked us, clearly displeased. 0
 
I smiled and explained, "Well, I'm Sun Chen's Auntie. I came to see him about something. Could you tell me where he is?" 0
 
"Sun Chen?" Fang Bo called out tentatively. 0
 
The boy nodded. 0
 
"I'm Sun Chen's Auntie. I came to see him about something. Could you tell me where he is?" I asked the boy again with a smile. 0
 
"He went to the library," the boy replied. 0
 
"Okay, thank you!" I said, smiling as I thanked him. 0
 
Fang Bo and I left the dormitory and found Sun Chen downstairs. 0
 
"Cousin!" I called out. 0
 
Sun Chen turned around and upon seeing me and Fang Bo, his expression changed noticeably. 0
 
"Sis, what are you doing here?" Sun Chen asked. 0
 
"I came to see you!" I replied with a smile. "Do you have some time this afternoon? I have a few things I'd like to ask you." 0
 
 
"Ah? You have something to ask me?" Sun Chen looked taken aback. "Sister, what do you want to know?" 0
 
"It's like this," I said straightforwardly. "I heard that you have a good relationship with Ma Zhaofang." 0
 
Sun Chen clearly froze for a moment. "Ma Zhaofang? I don't know her..." 0
 
"Oh really?" I let out a cold laugh. "But I've heard that you and Ma Zhaofang are quite close." 0
 
Sun Chen appeared visibly flustered. "Sister, I really don't know Ma Zhaofang..." 0
 
"Alright, if you don't want to talk, that's fine," I softened my tone. "But can you tell me why you were wearing slippers near the crime scene this morning?" 0
 
I pulled out my badge and handed it to Sun Chen. "I'm a police officer. This morning, I saw you lurking under the tree, staring at the body. You'd better come clean!" 0
 
"I..." Sun Chen stammered, unable to find his words. 0
 
Fang Bo also took out the search warrant. "We're here to investigate the case." 0
 
 
"If you know anything, please tell us. Otherwise, we will have to take you back to the police station!" 0
 
Sun Chen clearly panicked. "No, no, no! I'll tell you..." 0
 
Taking a deep breath, Sun Chen began to explain his relationship with Ma Zhaofang. 0
 
He and Ma Zhaofang had the relationship of a university counselor and student. 0
 
Ma Zhaofang treated him very well. 0
 
When he first entered university, he suffered from severe anxiety. 0
 
Ma Zhaofang often guided and helped him. 0
 
He regarded Ma Zhaofang as an older sister. 0
 
Once, during military training, he suddenly fainted. 0
 
Ma Zhaofang took him to the infirmary. 0
 
After that, he frequently visited Ma Zhaofang, bringing her gifts. 0
 
Ma Zhaofang also cared for him as if he were her younger brother. 0
 
However, he later heard that Ma Zhaofang had resigned. 0
 
 
He had not seen her again. 0
 
"When was the last time you saw Ma Zhaofang?" Fang Bo asked, holding a notebook. 0
 
"It was... last Sunday, I think..." Sun Chen stammered. 0
 
"She sent me a message saying she wanted to commit suicide... I tried to talk her out of it..." 0
 
"Did she say why she wanted to take her own life?" Fang Bo asked again. 0
 
"She... she said she had offended someone... and that person kept causing her trouble..." 0
 
Sun Chen answered tremulously, "She also told me that the way she planned to commit suicide was by drowning..." 0
 
I exchanged glances with Fang Bo. 0
 
It seemed that this case was likely a suicide by Ma Zhaofang. 0
 
However, there was still one thing we didn't understand. 0
 
"Do you have feelings for Ma Zhaofang?" Fang Bo asked bluntly. 0
