"That shouldn't be the case, Xiao Qing. Can you recall anything else about what you saw back then?" Xiao Ying asked with a slight frown, concern evident in her voice.
"I've already told you everything I can remember from that day. The time was too short, so all I saw was that man choking a woman. But since he was mostly turned away from me and wearing a hat inside the room, I couldn't be sure who he was," Xi Yue replied, a hint of helplessness and frustration in her tone.
"It's okay," Xiao Ying said, knowing that asking her to recall more would only cause Xi Yue pain. Just as she was about to offer some words of comfort, there was a knock at the door.
"Xiao Qing, I'll talk to you more about this tomorrow at school. Someone's here," Xiao Ying said before gently hanging up the phone.
She got up to open the door and found Wei Jiawei standing outside with a folder in hand, smiling as he greeted her warmly.
Xiao Ying didn't seem surprised by his arrival; she simply stepped aside slightly to let him in.
Wei Jiawei was already quite familiar with the place and walked straight to the sofa, sitting down comfortably.
Xiao Ying smiled faintly and joined him on the couch, asking, "What news do you have for me today?"
"You were right; Qi Fangyu is definitely not the murderer," Wei Jiawei said, a hint of pride on his face. "Yesterday, another team of our colleagues caught a group of people using drugs, most of whom were so-called artists. You know how some people in that circle have a penchant for this kind of thing. And guess what we found out?"
Xiao Ying raised an eyebrow, looking at Wei Jiawei, who seemed to be teasing her. A smile tugged at her lips. "Is it related to Qi Fangyu?"
"On the night Fan Wei died, they were together at a party using drugs, and Qi Fangyu was on the list they provided," Wei Jiawei said excitedly, his eyes sparkling.
"So, there are many people who can prove that Qi Fangyu was not at home that night. The killer Xi Yue saw could not possibly be Qi Fangyu," Xiao Ying said thoughtfully.
Wei Jiawei nodded vigorously. "And regarding Lin Hui's alibi, we checked the entry and exit records from that day, her flight list, and the accommodation situation at her business trip location. All of it proves that Lin Hui was telling the truth."
Xiao Ying furrowed her brow slightly at this; it was indeed somewhat unexpected.
Her mind began to race as she carefully considered every detail from the investigation, trying to identify if anything had been overlooked.
Suddenly, a face appeared in her mind. "Have you looked into the woman who was last seen at Qi Fangyu's house? I think her name was Xiaoxi?"
"We checked a few days ago. That woman is named Ye Xiaoxi. She reportedly often visits Lin Hui, but after investigating, she seems quite ordinary with no suspicious aspects," Wei Jiawei replied with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Is that so? It looks like we need to pay her another visit," Xiao Ying said decisively as she stood up.
"Where are you going?" Wei Jiawei looked up at Xiao Ying, confusion evident in his eyes.
"To Qi Fangyu's house," Xiao Ying stated firmly.
"I'll go with you," Wei Jiawei said without hesitation.
The two of them arrived once again at the door of room 605, with Xiao Ying and Wei Jiawei appearing particularly cautious. After all, Lin Hui was already aware of their identities, and it was likely that he would be on guard. Continuing their investigation this time would probably not go as smoothly as before.
However, to their surprise, as soon as they approached the door, they could faintly hear voices coming from inside.
They leaned in closer to take a look and noticed that the door was slightly ajar, not fully closed.
A smile crept onto Xiao Ying's lips as she whispered, "Looks like we don't need to make up an excuse to get in."
"Are you going to just walk in?"
Wei Jiawei seemed hesitant, a hint of worry in his eyes. But Xiao Ying showed no signs of hesitation; she gently pushed the door open and walked in calmly.
