Chu Yu asked, "Who is that old man? What does he look like?"
Liu Shishi said, "He looks to be around seventy years old, with gray hair, a slight hunchback, and shabby clothes. He looks like he's had a hard time. As for his identity and name, I never asked. There are many such people in the antique market who were once prosperous but now have fallen on hard times. It's usually not customary to ask them too many questions."
Her story seemed flawless, but it couldn't be verified.
Whether she had made such a deal or whether such an old man really existed was impossible to verify.
Chu Yu didn't believe Liu Shishi's words. But there was no evidence to prove that Liu Shishi was lying, so he could only suppress his suspicion for the time being.
He said calmly, "It's best if this matter has nothing to do with you. I will continue to investigate and will tell you when there is progress."
Liu Shishi tried her best to sound frank and fearless: "Go ahead and check it out. Tell me when you find out. Then you'll have to treat me to a meal and apologize."

Now I just hope Chu Yu doesn't really find any clues...
…
Chu Yu returned to the hospital and went to Lin Feiran's ward. She was still awake.
Seeing Chu Yu come in, he asked, "Did you find anything?"
She still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Chu Yu hesitated for a long time before saying, "Not yet. Liu Shishi is suspected, but there is currently no evidence to prove that she did it."
He was telling the truth. According to the principle of presumption of innocence, anyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
But when Lin Feiran heard it, it had a different meaning.
The little hope in her heart was instantly shattered, and she remained silent.
Chu Yu might just be dealing with her. Why would she make Chu Yu believe that his white moonlight is the murderer?
