I was assigned to a young female employee named Shen Mei, who was somewhat sharp-tongued and had a penchant for gossiping behind people's backs. 0
 
"What are your impressions of Li Jiaqi and He Shuang?" Xiao He asked, pulling out a notebook, referring to the names of the deceased. 0
 
"Oh dear," Shen Mei said, seemingly unintentionally lowering her collar. "That He Shuang was Li Jiaqi's girlfriend, but then she cheated on him and ended up with some company boss. If you ask me, that He Shuang is just a little vixen!" 0
 
"Watch your words," Xiao He cautioned. "Do you think Li Jiaqi could have killed He Shuang?" 0
 
"Well..." Shen Mei pondered for a moment. "I don't think so. Li Jiaqi is a nice guy, but he's a bit spineless. Even after being dumped, he would only dare to call and ask why. If it were me, I would grab a knife and go after that boss!" 0
 
Xiao He and I exchanged glances; it seemed there was more to the story behind Li Jiaqi's potential for violence. 0
 
The rest of Shen Mei's answers consisted of trivial rumors about the two, lacking any substantial content. So, I asked Xiao He to continue the questioning while I approached Yang Fan. 0
 
"Any discoveries?" Yang Fan smiled at me and inquired. 0
 
"Yes," I nodded. "But it's just trivial matters. That He Shuang had attracted many men, so there are plenty of people who might have reasons to kill her." 0
 
"Are you suspecting someone hired a hit on her?" Yang Fan looked at me. 0
 
"Yes, and I believe Li Jiaqi killed He Shuang through the glass using a method provided by someone else, then suddenly fell into despair and committed suicide," I explained. 0
 
"Then how did Li Jiaqi manage to kill her through the glass?" Yang Fan countered. 0
 
 
"This..." I was momentarily at a loss for words. 0
 
"And also," Yang Fan's gaze shifted to an office where the chairman of Xinlan Company was being questioned. "Since it's all about murder, then Li Jiaqi, or as you say, the instigator behind Li Jiaqi, why not let him go directly to Waltz Classroom to kill someone? Why go through the trouble of having him do it from behind glass?" 0
 
I had to admit, I couldn't explain that question. Yang Fan chuckled and patted my shoulder, smiling as he gestured for me to follow him. As we approached the area where Sister Yin was conducting the questioning, I heard Chen Yin's feigned cold voice: 0
 
"Are you saying you had drinks with Li Jiaqi before he committed murder?" 0
 
"Yes." The answer came from a young man dressed in a black suit, exuding a sharp and polished demeanor. I looked at the young man and noticed he remained calm, showing no signs of tension despite being involved in a murder case. 0
 
"Where did you drink?" Chen Yin raised an eyebrow. 0
 
"At home," the man replied. 0
 
"Home?" Chen Yin frowned. 0
 
"We shared an apartment," the man added. 0
 
Chen Yin then asked, "What did you talk about?" 0
 
"Oh, just work and women, of course, he mentioned He Shuang," the man answered. 0
 
"And then?" Chen Yin pressed on. 0
 
 
The man shrugged and said, "Then I got drunk." 0
 
"What did he say about He Shuang?" Sister Yin asked coldly, and I sensed she didn't like this man. 0
 
"Well," the man glanced at Chen Yin and smiled slightly, "for example, how to get into bed." 0
 
Sister Yin's face flushed, and she slammed her notebook onto the desk, ready to explode. I hurried over to calm her down, while Yang Fan took over the questioning from Sister Yin. I glanced at Sister Yin's notes and learned that the young man's name was Fan Zhiqiang. 0
 
"As far as I know, Li Jiaqi is a dull person. How could he say such things to you?" Yang Fan asked. 0
 
Fan Zhiqiang replied, "When he was drunk, who knows?" 0
 
"Did he ever say he wanted to kill He Shuang?" Yang Fan continued. 0
 
"Um..." Fan Zhiqiang recalled, "I think he mentioned that if he were a man, he would kill He Shuang." 0
 
"Who is He Shuang's new boyfriend?" Yang Fan asked again. 0
 
Fan Zhiqiang looked at Yang Fan and suddenly adopted a disdainful tone, saying, "The new manager of the Lo Family, Luo Xinyu." 0
 
Things were starting to take a more complex and inscrutable turn. 0
