”Wait!” I anxiously stopped her, and went straight to the point: ”I am Officer Lu Xiaochuan from the Mekong City Public Security Bureau, is Lee Jingyao your friend?”

”Yeah, what happened to Yaoyao?” Wang Xiaoya asked suspiciously.

I sighed and said to her: ”I'm sorry, Lee Jingyao has passed away. We suspect that she was the one who killed him. Can you come? ”

”…”

The other end of the phone went silent for dozens of seconds, so much so that I could hear Wang Xiaoya's heavy breathing. I frowned and didn't disturb her. After about half a minute, Wang Xiaoya asked me, and her voice sounded very angry, ”Who killed her? Who was it!? Why! ”Wuwuwu …!”

Wang Xiaoya suddenly burst into tears, I did not disturb her, and after half a cigarette worth of time, her crying voice gradually became softer, and I said to her: ”Please grieve, the case is at an impasse, we need your help!”

Wang Xiaoya told me on the phone that she would be here by plane at 8 o'clock tonight. I left my cell phone number with her and hung up.

After hanging up, I took out an A4 piece of paper, and wrote Wang Xiaoya's name on it, and continued to draw circles. At this moment, I am very interested in this woman. After that previous phone call, I felt that this woman, Wang Xiaoya, was a little strange.

According to normal logic, if I told Wang Xiaoya about her death, her first reaction wouldn't be silence, but a momentary doubt. Immediately after, she would cry loudly.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaoya was the complete opposite. She actually stayed silent for over ten seconds on the phone, and I heard that her breathing was very heavy. If one insisted on categorizing her state of mind correctly, then there was only one possibility, and that was that she knew who the culprit was, or Wang Xiaoya was very clear about this matter.

I looked at the time. There were still five hours before Wang Xiaoya landed on the ground. I stretched and rose from my chair to fetch myself a glass of water. But just as I turned around, I bumped into Wei Shijie.

”What are you doing?” I asked sternly.

”You were too preoccupied with your thoughts just now that you didn't even agree even when I shouted at you!” Wei Shijie scratched his greasy hair, ”The video has already been high-definition processed, it's just that...”

Wei Shijie wanted to say something, but stopped. I continued to ask, ”What happened? What are you hesitating for? ”

Wei Shijie shook his head, and said: ”I'm not too sure, take a look yourself, I feel like she committed suicide!”

Ah?! Suicide? How is this possible?!

This ”ah” was not from me. Following the voice, I saw Ye Xiaolou and Liao Mengfann standing at the entrance, especially Ye Xiaolou, her mouth was opened in an O shape, a look of disbelief on her face, only to see her walking towards Wei Shijie, stretching a finger out to point at Wei Shijie's forehead, ”What nonsense are you spouting? She died of an acute myocardial infarction. I can't possibly have tested wrongly! ”

”Who said you were wrong!” Wei Shijie raised his arm and pushed Ye Xiaolou's hand away, then walked in front of the computer, pointed at the video and said: ”But the video will not lie, I am not interested in her death, but her previous actions were clearly suicide!”

When I saw the strong smell of gunpowder in the room, I quickly walked to the middle of the two of them. I waved my hand at them and coughed lightly, ”You two are messing around. One of you is talking about the cause of death, while the other is talking about the cause of death. The two aren't on the same side at all. Okay, let's watch the video first!”

The processed video appeared very clear. The time in the video was 6: 15 AM before the crime. I saw Lee Jingyao's house had a light on, but the curtains on the balcony were not open, and a slender figure was walking behind them.

Fifteen minutes later, at half-past six in the morning, I saw the figure go to the balcony and pull back the curtains. At this moment, a close-up shot suddenly appeared. As the video was processed, I clearly saw that after Lee Jingyao opened the curtain, the window was opened as well. She even slightly closed her eyes and breathed in the fresh air, at the same time, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

The next moment, I saw that it was already 9: 20 in the morning. Wei Shijie told everyone that Lee Jingyao had been doing yoga in the living room from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., and there were no abnormalities during this period of time. In order to save time on his transfer, he skipped those useless periods.

The Lee Jingyao in the video was currently wearing a white bathrobe, she was lying on the sofa on her side and wearing a mask. After about two minutes, I saw her get up and go into the bathroom. Since the bathroom was a blind spot, there was about twenty minutes of empty space.

Waiting is an extremely excruciating thing, I did not ask Wei Shijie why he did not send over this video. Everyone quietly waited. Finally, at 9: 50 PM, we saw Lee Jingyao walking out from the bathroom.
