The rain gradually lightened, but it showed no signs of stopping, continuing to fall softly.
At that moment, footsteps echoed in the corridor. Since the sound of walking did not resemble that of Captain Xing, Su Jin'er paid no attention and continued to gaze out the window.
The footsteps outside stopped in front of her door.
"Su Jin'er, your friend is here to see you. Do you want to meet him?"
"Which friend?"
"He said his last name is Zuo."
Is it Zuo Yi?
"Okay, I'll see him."
She got out of bed, and the officer opened the door and led her out. Since she was not a criminal, she was not handcuffed.
"How did you get here? Didn't I say not to come?"
"I know! But we have exams next week, and today is already Wednesday. Don't you need to study?"
"Ah!!" She smiled shyly and said, "I forgot!"
"Although I'm not quite sure why you're staying here, I believe you have your reasons. So I brought you the books you need for the exam." Saying this, he picked up a bag of books from the floor and placed it on the table.
"Thank you! How is Fei Fan doing?"
"He's fine; his wounds are healing well, so there's no need to worry."
"Well, has anything happened at school?"
"No, everything is the same as before."
Is that so? She was a bit skeptical but still smiled and said, "That's good."
"There's nothing else. By the way, it's raining. Is your place very damp?"
"No! It's great, Captain Xing takes special care of me!"
"That's good. I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, just tell Captain Xing directly; he will let us know."
Zuo Yi stood up to say goodbye.
Su Jin'er picked up the stack of books and walked toward her cell. Now she wouldn't be bored; staring out the window at the sky every day could get dull over time.
Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Where did Captain Xing go today?"
"He should have gone to your school! He must be investigating a case."
"A case? Did something happen at school again?"
"No, he probably just went to check out the crime scene again!"
Su Jin'er nodded and then walked inside.
The door locked behind her.
She sat back down on the bed, just opening a book to read when she heard footsteps outside. She put down the book and waited for the visitor.
The door opened again, and the person who entered was indeed Captain Xing.
"How is it? Any discoveries?"
"None. I brought Qin Yu back, and I'm ready to conduct the interrogation. Do you want to watch?"
"Yes, of course."
She said this as she jumped off the bed and walked outside. This time, she had to ensure that Qin Yu wouldn't notice her listening in.
Qin Yu sat in the interrogation room like a proud swan, legs crossed, intently examining her nails while coldly mocking Jiang Jie, who sat across from her.
"I'll tell you this: if you offend me, I'll have all of you fired. Hmph! Don't underestimate me; I mean what I say. You useless police officers can't catch the Killer and keep framing me. You're truly pathetic."
Jiang Jie glared at her angrily, wishing she could get up and beat her up.
Qin Yu looked up at Jiang Jie. "What are you staring at? If you keep glaring like that, your eyeballs are going to pop out. Am I wrong? You are useless. Zhuo Xiaoman is dead; I'm scared of that. But Hao Hongtao is dead—what do you have to say about that? Ah! Why don't you explain it to me?"
"Hao Hongtao wasn't killed by you?"
Captain Xing pushed the door open and said.
Qin Yu was momentarily stunned but quickly regained her proud demeanor. "What makes you think I killed him? What evidence do you have to prove it was me? Show me the evidence, and I'll admit it."
"You visited him while he was in prison, right?"
"I did visit him, but I didn't have a key and couldn't get into your cell! He died so tragically; how could it possibly be me? And how did I escape? I'm not a god or anything; I can't transform like that stupid monkey."
"Heh, of course, you can't transform like that. However, when you visited him, did you secretly bring him a pack of cigarettes?"
"What's it to you? Are you saying that pack of cigarettes killed him?"
"Yes, that pack of cigarettes killed him."
Qin Yu's expression immediately stiffened. "But I only gave him one! I know he has a heavy smoking habit, but you wouldn't let him smoke, so I just secretly slipped him one."
"But it was that one cigarette that cost him his life."
"What?! How is that possible?"
Qin Yu's eyes began to panic, losing the arrogance and pride she had at the beginning.
"Did you buy that pack of cigarettes for him?"
"Yes! I bought it from the store."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Then she thought for a moment and said, "But after I bought the cigarettes, I bumped into someone, and the pack fell. Later, that person helped me pick it up and returned it to me."
"Who was that person?"
"I don't know! But he was very strange; on such a hot day, he was wearing a priest's outfit, like one of those black robes. It was really odd!"
"It was a man?"
"Yes, he looked to be in his forties or so!"
"Do you remember what he looked like?"
"I didn't see clearly because he was wearing a hat that almost covered his entire face, so I didn't see."
"You’re lying!"
"I'm not! It's true, I really didn't see."
"If you didn't see his face, how do you know he's in his forties? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
"Ah!!" Qin Yu's mouth formed an O shape.
"Are you still not going to tell the truth?"
"I!! Everything I said is true, I'm not lying." Qin Yu immediately put on a pitiful expression, tears gathering more and more in her eyes, about to spill over.
"Don't act pitiful in front of us; it's useless. We won't fall for that." As soon as Jiang Jie finished speaking, Qin Yu's tears flowed down.
"I really don't know! Please don't wrongfully accuse me."
"Whether it's wrongful or not, you know in your heart. If you still don't admit it, I will present some evidence that will make you confess."
"What evidence do you have?" Qin Yu blinked her big eyes.
"It seems you're really not going to shed tears until you see the coffin!" Jiang Jie said.
"I know why you were so calm when you first came here; it's because someone is backing you up. And I also know who that person is. Cheng Xiaoying said before she died that she originally wanted to kill you, but for some reason, she couldn't do it. I think you know that reason better than we do. Can money really make you lose all sense of humanity?"
Qin Yu's body began to tremble, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't wrongfully accuse me; I haven't done anything. I'm just a student who wants to live well and have nothing to do with their deaths. You say I'm the Killer; then tell me why I would want to kill Mao Qiang and Wang Fan."
"Heh heh, I think you've misunderstood. I never said you killed Mao Qiang and Wang Fan; I only said you killed Hao Hongtao and Lu Lili."
"What evidence do you have to prove that?"
Jiang Jie brought out a pot of flowers and said, "I think you should recognize this, right?"
Qin Yu widened her eyes in surprise, but only for a moment. She sneered and said, "What kind of evidence is this? It's just a pot of flowers."
"Yes, it's just a pot of flowers, but I believe everyone should recognize this flower; it's called Poppy, isn't it?"
"Yes! I've always liked Poppy flowers, so having one shouldn't be illegal, right?"
"That's right. You know very well that having a pot of Poppy is not illegal, but when you use this flower to commit murder, that's against the law. Everyone knows that the seeds of Poppy are drugs that can cause hallucinations, and you used the seeds of the Poppy to make Hao Hongtao hallucinate. He was already filled with guilt over Zhuo Xiaoman's death, and your visit and words made him believe that Zhuo Xiaoman's ghost would seek revenge on him. He became anxious and wanted to smoke, and you put the Poppy seeds into that cigarette. That's how he hallucinated and ultimately committed suicide."
"That's right; your reasoning is quite impressive. But how do you prove that Lu Lili was killed by me?"
"That's even simpler. Let's start from the beginning. Zhuo Xiaoman did indeed commit suicide. When she jumped from the building, Cheng Xiaoying happened to see it and let out a piercing scream. In fact, Cheng Xiaoying is bisexual; she has admitted this herself. She liked Zhuo Xiaoman and also Hao Hongtao. However, Zhuo Xiaoman was forced by you to engage in prostitution for your profit, which led her to take her own life because she couldn't bear it anymore. Cheng Xiaoying knew this clearly but couldn't save her. So she secretly investigated and later found out that her roommate Wang Xiangxiang had betrayed her. Therefore, she disguised herself as Zhuo Xiaoman at the time of her death and used that story to scare Wang Xiangxiang to death while pretending to be frightened herself, acting crazy so no one would suspect her.
Next is Lu Lili; her thoughts are similar to yours. She wanted money but didn't want to sell herself, so she secretly helped you. You liked Chu Feifan, so you wanted Lu Lili to lure Su Jin'er over, intending to harm Zhuo Xiaoman in order to trap Su Jin'er."
"So you had Lu Lili disguise as a woman in white, repeatedly leading Su Jin'er to the Morgue. Once she entered, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, she never went in; your plan failed until the last time when she did go in but was accompanied by Ruan Hongmei. If Su Jin'er didn't come out, Ruan Hongmei would call the police. So you didn't harm her in the Morgue but pretended to be a ghost when they were about to leave, trying to scare them to death. That head she mentioned was your disguise, wasn't it? It was actually quite simple because it was very dark at the time, making it hard to see clearly. You first used sound to instill fear in them, making it easier for you to execute your next plan while wearing black clothes and a fake mask to scare them, right?"
