Zhao Chuqiao looked at Li Mian, her brows furrowed. She had a vague feeling that this case was far from as simple as it appeared. She decided to start by examining Zhang Huai Xuan's room to see if she could find more clues.
"Captain Li, let's go check Miss Huai Xuan's room first," Zhao Chuqiao said as she headed upstairs.
Li Mian nodded and followed Zhao Chuqiao up the stairs.
"Miss Huai Xuan, are you there?" Zhao Chuqiao gently knocked on Zhang Huai Xuan's door, but there was no response from inside.
Zhao Chuqiao pushed the door slightly harder and found that it was not locked. She opened the door and walked in.
The room was in disarray; items were overturned, and clothes and personal belongings were scattered across the floor, seemingly deliberately destroyed by the perpetrator.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhao Chuqiao looked at the scene before her, filled with confusion.
Li Mian approached Zhao Chuqiao and observed the state of the room. He whispered, "It seems the killer deliberately created chaos to cover something up."
Zhao Chuqiao nodded and began to carefully examine every corner of the room, hoping to find some clues.
"Captain Li, look at this!" Zhao Chuqiao pointed to a red belt that had fallen by the bed and said quietly.
Li Mian walked over to inspect it and noticed some bloodstains on the belt. He gently wiped the blood with a handkerchief and found that the color matched perfectly with the bloodstains in the hallway.
"It seems this belt was used by the killer to bind Miss Huai Xuan," Li Mian said, looking at the belt with certainty in his voice.
"But Miss Huai Xuan said the murderer didn't take her phone, and she doesn't know what the murderer looks like. She only knows that the murderer is a male and very strong," Zhao Chuqiao said, looking at Li Mian with confusion in her voice.
"This is indeed strange. Miss Huai Xuan seems to be deliberately hiding some key information," Li Mian replied, slightly furrowing her brows.
Zhao Chuqiao looked at Li Mian, a bad premonition flashing through her mind. She vaguely felt that this case was far from as simple as it appeared.
"Captain Li, I have decided to start with Miss Huai Xuan's past to see if I can find a breakthrough in the case," Zhao Chuqiao said firmly.
Li Mian nodded at Zhao Chuqiao and said, "Alright, let's go now."
---
"When was this belt discovered?" Li Mian asked, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity.
"It was just now. It fell by the bed when I came in," Zhao Chuqiao pointed to the side of the bed and replied, her voice tinged with doubt.
"Strange... Miss Huai Xuan only mentioned being raped and didn't say anything about being tied up. She has always claimed not to have seen the murderer's appearance, but this belt clearly has her blood on it. This indicates that the murderer was likely in her room. Could it be that she has been hiding something all along?" Li Mian's tone was heavy as she seemed lost in thought.
Zhao Chuqiao nodded slightly, recalling the ambiguous statements made by Zhang Huai Xuan earlier, feeling that there might be some hidden secret within.
"Captain Li, I have decided to ask Zhang Huai Xuan again to see if there's anything she hasn't revealed," Zhao Chuqiao said, her gaze resolute.
Li Mian looked at Zhao Chuqiao and nodded, "Alright, you go ask her. I'll check the surveillance footage from the neighborhood."
Zhao Chuqiao turned and walked out of the room, arriving at Zhang Huai Xuan's door. She gently knocked and said, "Miss Huai Xuan, is it convenient to talk?"
Zhang Huai Xuan's voice came from inside the room, "What do you want? I don't want to talk about those things anymore. I'm tired."
"I know you're scared and in pain right now, but we need your cooperation to find the murderer as soon as possible. Please tell me everything you know, okay?" Zhao Chuqiao spoke softly, trying to soothe Zhang Huai Xuan's emotions.
"I... I... I don't know anything..." Zhang Huai Xuan's voice trembled, as if she was struggling to control her impending breakdown.
"Are you unwilling to tell me? That's fine, but I must inform you that we have found new clues. You must cooperate with our investigation!" Zhao Chuqiao's tone became serious, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.
Zhang Huai Xuan fell silent for a moment before suddenly flinging open the door, angrily pointing at Zhao Chuqiao and saying, "You police never believe what I say, always doubting me! You've pushed me to this point; what more do you want?"
Zhao Chuqiao was startled by Zhang Huai Xuan's reaction. She paused for a moment before responding, "We just want to help you. Don't you want to find the murderer?"
"I... I... I don't want to talk about this anymore. Just leave!" Zhang Huai Xuan said weakly, her eyes filled with despair and sadness.
