"Miss Bai, Miss Su, according to some witness testimonies, the deceased had a conflict with you at the hotel tonight?"

Su Peishan looked at Bai Qianmo nervously and helplessly.

"Yes!" Bai Qianmo answered calmly.

The detective was reviewing the statements when he heard Bai Qianmo's calm voice and couldn't help but look up at her.

What's the reason?

Bai Qianmo briefly and concisely explained the situation she encountered with Lan Xiaoxiao, her words straightforward and to the point.

The detective nodded: "So you not only had an argument, but also a physical altercation?"

"Yes."

"After you left the entertainment center, where did you go? Did you possibly see the deceased?"

Su Peishan hurriedly shook her head: "Officer, the two of us went straight back to our hotel room and haven't left since. There are CCTV cameras in the hallway to prove it."

The officer continued taking the statement, then pondered for a moment before looking at Bai Qianmo again.

"You know martial arts?"

According to the security guards who were working for the deceased, they were basically tortured and killed unilaterally by the girl during the physical altercation.

He had originally thought she would be a girl with a less-than-ideal figure and a more androgynous appearance, but he was quite surprised to see that Bai Qianmo was so slender and beautiful.

"I know a little."

The detective coughed and said, "Cough, don't be modest. Those bodyguards are all in the hospital right now."

After saying that, the detective glanced at Gu Jueye.

At this moment, the forensic doctor's preliminary assessment report was delivered: "Team Leader Xin, the deceased, Lan Xiaoxiao, is 24 years old. The forensic doctor's preliminary assessment is that the time of death should be between 10:10 and 10:20 PM. Based on the scene of death and basic characteristics, it should be considered a suicide by wrist cutting."

Upon hearing the forensic diagnosis of suicide by wrist-cutting, a strange light flashed in Bai Qianmo's calm eyes.

How could it be suicide?

Gu Jueye walked over and gently took her hand.

"Don't be afraid, this matter will not involve you."

Bai Qianmo knew his worries and looked at him with a firm gaze.

"With you here, I have nothing to be afraid of."

A brilliant light appeared in Gu Jueye's deep eyes as he gently squeezed her hand.

Bai Qianmo looked toward the bathroom.

The hotel bathroom is designed with a frosted fabric finish, and the sliding door is open at this moment, allowing a glimpse inside.

To avoid disturbing the scene, Lan Xiaoxiao's body was not moved for the time being. The bloodstains on the ground stained a large area of ​​the off-white floor red. Suddenly, Bai Qianmo couldn't help but recall the situation before Lan Xiaoxiao's death.

That was definitely not suicide.

The eyes of a person who commits suicide will not show signs of dilated pupils, indicating that the deceased must have experienced something that terrified her before her death.

The forensic doctor came out of the bathroom, took off his rubber gloves, and came to Captain Xin.

"We just found sleeping pills in the room. There is a possibility that the deceased may have taken sleeping pills. This needs to be sent to the autopsy room for a final determination."

Du Muchen looked troubled and said, "Xiaoxiao is my stepmother's only daughter. Dissecting the body requires her consent."

“Any parent would have the same dilemma in this situation, which is understandable. We will absolutely respect the wishes of the deceased’s family. Whether or not an autopsy can be performed is ultimately a decision for the family.”

Half an hour later

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du rushed over in a great hurry.

Madam Du is Lan Xiaoxiao's mother, Lan Hui. She is a woman who still retains her charm. Dressed in a noblewoman's attire, she appears elegant and refined. However, at this moment, seeing her daughter's tragic death, she no longer cares about her image.

She rushed into the bathroom, trying to hug her daughter, but was stopped by a policewoman standing nearby.

"Madam Du, I know you must be very sad right now. Please take care of yourself. Because we need to protect the crime scene, the body cannot be touched at the moment."

"Xiaoxiao, Mommy's here. Mommy's late. What happened to you? Why did you leave Mommy without saying a word? Waaah..." Lan Hui cried so hard that her makeup was completely ruined.

It's no exaggeration to say that he was screaming at the top of his lungs and his heart was breaking.

To outsiders, Lan Hui is a mother who has lost her beloved daughter, making people unable to help but grieve and shed tears along with her.

Su Peishan wiped away her tears: "It's so painful for a parent to bury their child."

Bai Qianmo's eyes were deep and dark; she remained silent.

Du Muchen stepped forward. As a stepson, and with his stepmother having lost her only daughter, he felt obligated to comfort her.

"Aunt Lan, let the police finish their investigation of the scene first, so we can take Xiaoxiao home as soon as possible."

Mr. Du, standing to the side, also looked heartbroken: "Wife, Xiaoxiao's death was too sudden. We can't accept it for a while. You are her mother, and I know you are the most heartbroken right now. But the most important thing we need to do now is to bring Xiaoxiao home so that she won't be left to wander outside."

Lan Hui sobbed several times, and Du Muchen and Old Master Du helped her up, one on each side, and finally brought her out of the bathroom.

Afterwards, Captain Xin consulted with Master Du.

"Mr. Du, the forensic doctor suspects that your daughter ingested a large amount of sleeping pills before committing suicide. Although the on-site investigation determined that your daughter committed suicide, if she really ingested sleeping pills before dying, there are many suspicious points in the entire suicide process. In addition, she was lying with her eyes open and her expression was very terrified before she died, which is not consistent with the characteristics of suicide. Therefore, based on the relevant suspicious points, we recommend that the deceased's body be taken to the forensic room for autopsy."
