Afterwards, the two went to the cotton mill where Liu Chunxiang had worked to investigate. They asked several of her acquaintances and close colleagues, but after going around in circles, they didn't find anything.

Everyone's answers were the same, and I really couldn't find anything wrong with them.

In short, no one who didn't know Liu Chunxiang well spoke ill of her; it was impossible to find anyone who had a grudge against her.

Su He was not satisfied and decided to go back to the crime scene to take another look.

Hu Xing let her have her way, probably wanting to see what she was capable of.

However, she was even more disappointed when she arrived.

The crime scene was in a secluded alley near the Wei family's home. Because it would save a lot of distance to get home from there, Liu Chunxiang used to walk through there after get off work.

After passing through the alley, it's about 100 meters to her house, which is much closer than taking the main road.

So quite a few people usually take this route.

But recently, probably because everyone knows about the murder that happened here, no one dares to walk through this area anymore.

In addition, the neighborhood committee staff came over to clean it up, so the place is now very clean and you can't tell at all that someone died there before.

However, because it was so clean, Su He didn't discover anything.

Although somewhat disappointed, upon closer reflection it makes sense. If it were really that easy to spot, the police station wouldn't have failed to notice anything before.

Su He then looked down at the case record again, and after a while, she looked up at Hu Xing beside her and asked, "Do you think Uncle Jiao and Qi Yang suspect Wei Qing?"

Hu Xing was taken aback by her question, then nodded. "You should be suspicious, right? From what Qi Yang said, there are only a few reasons for the murder."

Alternatively, it could be an unplanned accidental murder, also known as a crime of passion. In this case, the victim and the murderer might not know each other, which would make solving the case much more difficult.

But if it was premeditated, it was either a revenge killing or a crime of passion.

Currently, there is a possibility that it was an accidental homicide. It could be a robbery, or she might have witnessed something while passing by and been killed to cover it up. However, other reasons cannot be ruled out.

Regardless of the reason, both of these investigations are very difficult, and the bureau has already assigned people to investigate.

The latter two cannot be ruled out either.

Since Liu Chunxiang didn't have any enemies, it was probably a crime of passion. So when they first got the case, they decided to focus their investigation on her and her husband to see if that was possible.

When we reviewed the previous investigation records from the police station, we found no evidence that Wei Qing was close to any woman, that most of his friends were male, and that he usually kept his distance from other women.

Liu Chunxiang herself had no other romantic entanglements, so this speculation was initially dismissed.

Su He frowned upon hearing this, but did not reply for a moment.

Hu Xing thought she was angry, so he awkwardly scratched his head and explained, "Don't overthink it. Uncle Jiao and the others didn't mean to not tell you before. They probably felt that there was no need to say anything since the idea had already been rejected."

Su He shook her head. "I'm not angry."

After all, she wasn't familiar with the other person, and they had only just started working together. She had asked her before and told her why she didn't suspect Wei Qing, so she had no obligation to explain so much to her. Besides, everything was just speculation, and there was no evidence, so it was indeed hard to say.

Furthermore, Captain Chen made it so obvious that he valued her, so those two probably wanted to see what she was capable of.

Therefore, she absolutely has to perform well in this case.

However, Hu Xing didn't quite believe her, "Then why don't you say anything?"

Su He glanced at him. "I'm just thinking about where to go next."

"Oh, I see. So where are we going?"

"Let's go to the radio station."

"The radio station? Go find Jiang Qing?"

"right!"

He left as he spoke, and Hu Xing quickly followed.
