Based on the footage from the surveillance cameras, the police quickly located the cleaning staff who managed Lan Xiaoxiao's room that noon that day.

The investigation uncovered the other party's name and identity, and further investigation revealed that the ID card was fake, and therefore the name was also fake.

“Zhang Guihua worked the early shift today and finished at 6:30 pm. We tried calling her mobile phone, but it has been switched off,” the hotel’s logistics manager replied.

Team Leader Qi stroked his stubble-covered chin, his bloodshot eyes lost in thought.

"If we can't get in touch with the female cleaner, it means she definitely has something to hide."

At that moment, a criminal police officer walked in.

"Captain Qi, we've found that man."

Captain Qi immediately stood up from his chair: "Get ready, arrest him immediately."

"yes!"

Ten minutes later

With the assistance of hotel management, the police stormed into a room where a man, wide awake, sat on the edge of the bed staring at them in astonishment.

"What...what are you doing?"

"Don't move, police!"

Captain Qi waved his hand, and several criminal police officers immediately stepped forward and subdued the man.

"Why are you arresting me? I... I'm innocent."

Captain Qi gave the other person a cold, sidelong glance: "We haven't even explained why we're arresting you, and you're already crying foul?"

The man blinked guiltily, "Officer, I haven't done anything wrong. I was very scared when you suddenly barged in like this."

Team Leader Qi didn't waste any more words with the man and ordered his subordinates to take him away.

Early the next morning

Captain Qi called to say that the murderer had been found and asked them to go to the police station to give a statement.

Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan were invited to the police station as witnesses to the time of the death. The Du family and Lan Xiaoxiao's mother, Lan Hui, also arrived at the police station.

Upon seeing Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan, Lan Hui's expression remained cold, her eyes filled with deep hatred.

"Don't think that just because Xiaoxiao's death has nothing to do with you, you can live with a clear conscience. Xiaoxiao is gone, but I won't let go of the people she hated easily either."

“Mrs. Du, you are a person of status, how can you not distinguish between friend and foe? Yesterday, Qianmo spent the whole night in the monitoring room assisting the police in searching surveillance footage and providing useful suggestions to help solve this case. That's how the murderer was finally caught in just a few hours. Even if we can't earn your gratitude, shouldn't you at least stop complaining about us?”

Su Peishan was very unhappy. Lan Xiaoxiao's death had nothing to do with them, yet they were hated by the deceased's family. It felt like someone had forcibly splashed dirty water on them, which was disgusting.

Lan Hui snorted coldly: "That only shows that you feel guilty. I will never be grateful to you."

Bai Qianmo glanced coldly at Lan Hui: "We don't need your gratitude. Assisting the police in finding the murderer is just to prove our own innocence."

Gu Jueye, Du Muchen, and Jiang Nanyan walked over together. When Lan Hui saw the three of them coming, she knew that they had a good relationship with Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan, so she kept a cold face and didn't say anything more.

"Ah Chen, your father and I are going to pick up your sister and take her home. Come with us."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lan Hui nodded and led several members of the Du family toward the morgue.

Jiangnan Yan Chao Du Muchen gave Du Muchen a meaningful look.

He whispered, "Your stepmother and your future daughter-in-law seem to be naturally incompatible."

Du Muchen glanced at Jiang Nanyan with a cold face: "Speak less, no one will think you're dead."

Jiang Nanyan coughed lightly: "As a friend, I'm just giving you a friendly reminder."

"I have eyes."

Seeing Du Muchen approaching, Su Peishan gave him a cold glance: "Qianmo, I'll wait for you inside."

Even though Lan Xiaoxiao's death had nothing to do with her, Lan Hui is now pointing the finger at her.

Du Muchen is Lan Hui's stepson. There was already an unspeakable grudge between the two of them. It seems that they should try to avoid people from the Du family in the future.

"Sister Su, you haven't done anything wrong, why are you acting like a coward?" Du Muchen's tone was teasing.

Su Peishan glared at him coldly, and Du Muchen raised his eyes slightly, a hint of amusement in his clear eyes.

Although he was smiling, he looked very tired, indicating that he probably hadn't rested at all last night.

Although Lan Xiaoxiao is not his biological sister, and according to her, his relationship with his stepmother is also quite ordinary, Lan Xiaoxiao did grow up in the Du family from a young age, so there is some affection between them.

"You brat, who are you calling a coward? Have you ever seen such a beautiful coward?"

"He seems to be in good spirits and hasn't been affected much."

Su Peishan snorted: "I haven't done anything immoral, so why should I be affected?"

Gu Jueye walked to Bai Qianmo's side: "Captain Qi called and told us to go directly to his office. Let's go."

Bai Qianmo glanced at Su Peishan. Sister Su hadn't slept all night. Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, she was actually quite affected inside.

Arguing with Du Muchen helps her relieve some of her stress.

Jiang Nanyan is the hotel manager, and this matter is related to the Du family, so since yesterday, he has been personally handling the matter and contacting the police.

The group arrived at Captain Qi's office

Team Leader Qi explained the killer's identity in detail.

"The murderer is named Chen Jianning, a habitual burglar. He and the cleaning lady are mother and son. The cleaning lady's ID card is fake. She often works with Chen Jianning under the guise of a cleaning lady. This week, Lan Xiaoxiao often brought her friends to Yucheng Resort to soak in the hot springs. Every time they came, they stayed in room 1902, and the cleaning lady was the cleaner for that room."
