“Now let me analyze this step by step,” I said thoughtfully.
“Alright. I think we should start with the alibis of a few relevant people. There are four individuals involved,” I recalled their characteristics while counting, “Wang Keyi, Yu Xin’s teacher Zhao Yi, Yu Xin’s boyfriend Wang Qi, and then there’s Mei Tiantian and her boyfriend—who is also Wang Keyi’s cousin, Wang Zhe.”
“Based on the current situation, these should be the people in question,” Hua Yin pulled out his notebook again. “Wang Qi was at home hosting a gathering called ‘Fisherman's Song’ with classmates that day. According to our investigation, Wang Qi was under the watch of others until late at night, and Mei Tiantian and Wang Zhe were attending a birthday party. Since it was Mei Tiantian’s birthday, as the hosts, they also remained in view of everyone…”
“Zhao Yi was at the education institute organizing exam papers that afternoon. During the period of organizing the college entrance examination papers, no one is allowed to leave for any reason. This rule is extremely strict, with armed police guarding the premises all day long; he absolutely could not have stepped out of the education institute,” I added.
“This is merely an alibi. Considering what we currently know, it can be easily explained. However, once it’s uncovered, it could make everyone a suspect. So we need to consider other circumstances as well,” Hua Yin said seriously.
“I’m not really concerned about that; this case isn’t complicated at all. Based on the current situation, the mystery should be unraveled,” I sighed.
“What are you concerned about then?” Hua Yin asked.
“The truth—the truth behind last year’s incident,” I replied.
Things always need to come to an end, but not in my home. So we decided to go outside for a final summary. What mattered most to me about this case wasn’t who the murderer was, but why Mei Tiantian and Yu Xin acted as they did last year. I believed today would provide some answers.
We arrived at the Red Bean Café, not far from my house, which was a place where Hua Yin and I often met. We asked the manager to arrange a larger private room since Hua Yin had already called his father, and those involved in this case should be arriving shortly.
During this waiting time, I exchanged opinions with Hua Yin. It wasn’t long before Hua Yishu, along with others related to this case including Wang Zhe, Mei Tiantian, Zhao Yi, and Wang Qi, had all arrived.
“Let’s get straight to the point; I have something else to attend to later.” After they ordered their drinks, I said to Hua Yin, “You go ahead.”
"Alright, let me share my thoughts first. Firstly, the connection between last year's case and this one. We have already analyzed that the killers in these two cases are likely not the same person. The perpetrator from last year's case is still being pursued, so our main focus is on the killer of Yu Xin.
"What caught my attention first was the autopsy report of Yu Xin. The report stated that her nipple was severed by a sharp instrument, yet the cause of death was drowning. I found it strange; if the killer had a weapon, why not use it to kill her directly instead of drowning her?" Hua Yin looked at everyone, his tone serious.
"This is indeed puzzling. But son, have you considered this: the killer who murdered Wang Keyi last year also had a weapon, yet Wang Keyi died from drowning," Hua Yishu pointedly asked.
"That's different," Hua Yin replied. "Wang Keyi drowned because the crime scene was near a creek, but that’s not the case for Yu Xin. There were signs that she had been kidnapped before her death, and I examined the body; there was a lot of dirt under her nails. If she had drowned in that creek where her body was found, someone with their hands bound wouldn't have that much dirt under their nails. Conversely, if Yu Xin wasn't bound at that time, she wouldn't have drowned in such a creek either. So the only explanation is that the killer murdered Yu Xin elsewhere. At this point, we need to consider why the killer chose to drown her."
