Su He pondered along with his words and said, "What you said is also possible, but we can't rule out the people we suspected before. Strictly speaking, anyone could be a suspect. If Aunt Wang wasn't lying, then it was indeed a premeditated murder."

But as you said, if someone has been monitoring her and looking for a suitable opportunity, then the scope of the investigation is much larger. It's very likely that besides what we've found, there are other things we haven't discovered yet.

But if they know she's going out, then the area they can target decreases.

"indeed!"

Qi Yang nodded and continued his analysis: "Aunt Jin and the Jin family must know. Although we haven't found any discord between the two, we can't rule it out."

If she is the murderer, then it is indeed the most convenient way to act, but it is also the easiest to be exposed, since it would be easy to find out that the two of them went out together.

Furthermore, Aunt Jin lived in another alley, not close to the courtyard where Hu Meiling lived. If she killed someone, she could have buried the body anywhere, so why insist on burying it in Hu Meiling's courtyard? Wasn't that redundant?

“Indeed.” Hu Xing nodded. “If it were me, I would just find somewhere to throw it away and wouldn’t go through all this trouble. But besides her, no one else should know their itinerary that night, right? Or maybe it was that black market prostitute?”

Qi Yang shook his head. "It wasn't him. He sells meat to make money. There's no need to kill someone for five pounds of meat. I heard he's been doing this for a long time, and nothing like this has ever happened before."

"Who could it be? Does anyone else know?"

At this moment, Su He and Qi Yang suddenly spoke up: "Song Yuzhu!"

After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, clearly having the same idea.

"Song Yuzhu?" Jiao Weimin seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Qi Yang nodded, "Yes, Song Yuzhu knows too!"

She said she didn't know what Hu Meiling was doing when she went out, but actually she didn't need to know; she just needed to make sure that Hu Meiling went out.

Whether she goes out or not has no impact on her. The two live together, and if she were the murderer, she could commit the crime at any time. However, Hu Meiling's sudden departure gave her an excuse to pretend to be missing.

Besides, she also lives in a tenement building, so it would be convenient for her to prepare the pit in advance.

"……What?"

Hu Xing's eyes widened in surprise. "What are you talking about? How could it be her? Doesn't she have a good relationship with her mother-in-law?"

Qi Yang shook his head. "What we found out is just what others said. We don't know the specifics yet. I only have reasonable suspicions."

Moreover, this is only one possibility. As mentioned before, we don't suspect that Hu Meiling has any potential enemies who are constantly monitoring her; it's just that we haven't found out yet.

Hu Xing breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that scared me to death! If it was Song Yuzhu who did it, that would be terrifying!"

Su He laughed when she saw him like that. "Why is it scary? Our criminal investigation team has handled so many cruel cases, and we've never been scared. What's so scary about this?"

Hu Xing chuckled awkwardly, "I just find it quite frightening. Looking at such a frail woman, I can't imagine that she would kill her own mother-in-law."

If it really is her, how much hatred must she feel!

I heard that Hu Meiling's head was smashed, but she was still able to report the case to the police as if nothing had happened and interact with her son as if nothing had occurred.

Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps; I really hope it's not true.

If it really is her, then this woman is terrifying!
