“Fan Wei knew about the true relationship between Lin Hui and Xiao Xi, and advised me to get a divorce, but I refused.”
Qi Fangyu paused here, running his fingers through his slightly long hair with a hint of frustration on his face, revealing some distress. “Actually, I don’t want to divorce Lin Hui. We were once very affectionate, and now that things have turned out this way, I still feel there’s room for reconciliation.”
“So, you still want to restore your relationship with Lin Hui?” Officer Zhao asked, his gaze fixed intently on Qi Fangyu, trying to glean more clues from his response.
“Yes. Over the years, my relationship with Lin Hui has grown increasingly cold. On one hand, I wanted to provoke Lin Hui to improve our feelings; on the other hand, I sought comfort in my relationship with Fan Wei. But I knew that my relationship with her wouldn’t last long, and I never thought about getting a divorce,” Qi Fangyu sighed helplessly.
“Tell me what you did afterward,” Officer Zhao reminded him, steering the conversation back to the case.
“I went back to the hotel and took a nap, thinking I would contact Fan Wei again when I got home the next day. But when I opened the door, I saw Fan Wei’s body,” Qi Fangyu’s voice trembled slightly as he recalled that scene, still haunted by it.
“So you thought Lin Hui killed Fan Wei and helped her cover it up?” Xiao Ying asked, her eyes scrutinizing him.
“Isn’t it Lin Hui?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Qi Fangyu seemed to relax a bit. “At that time, I was very flustered. I didn’t understand why Fan Wei would die in my house; the only person I could think of was Lin Hui. I always felt that Lin Hui still had feelings for me and thought that she must have killed Fan Wei for that reason. So I wrapped Fan Wei’s body in a carpet from the room and put it in the closet, covering it with a painting, intending to find a time to deal with it later.”
“Alright, someone will come to take you for some procedures shortly. Once you’re registered, you can leave,” Officer Zhao said, his tone carrying a hint of authority.
Qi Fangyu did not get up but asked uncertainly, “Are you sure Lin Hui isn’t the murderer?”
His eyes were filled with confusion and concern.
"The police will naturally find out who the murderer is," Officer Zhao replied firmly, his gaze unwavering and authoritative.
Qi Fangyu looked at Officer Zhao for a moment longer, unable to discern any clues from his serious expression. She had no choice but to give up and slowly walked out with the officers.
"I think we already know who the murderer is," Xiao Ying said slowly, confidence shining in her eyes.
"Are you referring to that Ye Xiaoxi, Lin Hui's lover?" Officer Zhao asked, a hint of anticipation in his gaze, hoping Xiao Ying would provide a reasonable explanation.
"Whether it's her or not, we just need to ask Sister Yuaner," Xiao Ying replied. Just as she finished speaking, Yu Yuaner, dressed in white, gently opened the door and walked in. Xiao Ying smiled and said, "We were just talking about you, and here you are."
"I'm here to deliver the autopsy report; I thought you might need it."
Yu Yuaner smiled slightly, her eyes reflecting professionalism and calmness.
"Did you find skin flakes under Fan Wei's nails?"
Xiao Ying asked, a slight smile playing on her lips as if she had already anticipated the answer.
Yu Yuaner paused for a moment, surprise flickering in her eyes before she smiled and said, "When did you learn to predict the future? You guessed it right, but there was no match in the DNA database."
"That's alright; I think we know whose it is," Xiao Ying said with a confident smile.
"It's Ye Xiaoxi?" Wei Jiawei exclaimed in realization. "Her hand—"
