That day, the group gathered to discuss Li Qiqi's case. Qian Manduo had already contacted the victim's parents, who agreed to meet with her but did not agree to settle out of court. They were already very pleased that the parents agreed to meet and discuss the matter.

Qi Wenyuan also asked his friends to find out what happened that day, as well as information about the people involved in the case.

The victim was a female classmate of Li Qiqi named Lillian. She came from a good family, was good-looking, and had excellent grades. She was the white moonlight in the hearts of many male classmates. However, Lillian had a steady boyfriend, who was said to be her childhood sweetheart. Their parents knew each other and they grew up together. The male classmate also attended Li Qiqi's school, but not in the same class.

Li Qiqi and Lillian don't get along, and the specific reason is unclear, but Li Qiqi and Lillian have had public arguments, which many classmates have witnessed. This is an important factor in proving that Li Qiqi had a motive for committing the crime.

The night of the incident was a birthday party for a female classmate named Catherine. She wasn't a good student, but she was alluring and seductive, and countless men vied for her attention. Lillian and Catherine didn't get along and disliked each other.

For some reason, Lillian attended the birthday party that night, and that's when the incident happened. Li Qiqi also went to the party, and her scoundrel boyfriend was there too.

Everyone was having a great time and no one noticed that Lillian was in trouble. It wasn't until dawn that her classmates found Lillian looking very unwell on the third floor. She told the police that Li Qiqi's scoundrel boyfriend had raped her. The police arrested Li Qiqi's boyfriend, who wasn't on the guest list, so the police naturally suspected Li Qiqi.

Moreover, this scoundrel named Paul even told the police that Li Qiqi had sent him, saying she had a surprise for him.

This statement made the police even more suspicious that Li Qiqi was the mastermind. Other classmates' testimonies said that Li Qiqi was very quiet on the night of the party, did not dance, and seemed distracted, unlike when she used to party wildly. In addition, there were past arguments between Li Qiqi and Lillian. The police were basically convinced that Li Qiqi was the mastermind.

"This Paul is the key. Did Li Qiqi send him, or did he go there on his own, or was someone else who sent him?" Ye Qingqing saw through the clues.

Qi Wenyuan nodded. "Paul is in jail now. He's very stubborn and insists that Qiqi asked him to go. Qiqi has also admitted to the police that she did ask him to go, but she only asked Paul to pick her up and take her back to school. As for the big surprise she mentioned, Qiqi has refused to say anything."

It was precisely because Li Qiqi refused to cooperate with the police that she became a prime suspect.

"There's no use guessing now; we can only ask when we get to the US," Yu Anning said helplessly.

The principal's paperwork was finally completed, and Yu Anning, Qi Wenyuan, and Li Jingshan all went over. Ye Qingqing actually wanted to go too. She wasn't interested in Li Qiqi, but she was quite interested in the case and wanted to know who was responsible. Unfortunately, she had a lot of things to do at home and couldn't leave.

After Yu Anning and the others arrived, they first went to the school where Li Qiqi was. The principal was a kind middle-aged woman. Although she was disappointed in Li Qiqi, she was still very polite and told them something even more shocking.

"Li Qiqi is pregnant. We just found out. She's already five weeks pregnant."
