Guan Feng confirmed that Li Qian's words were accurate.
He asked, "Did you take Kato Hiroshi back to his dorm last night?"
Li Qian nodded and said, "Yes, I was in my dorm when he called me and said he had drunk too much. I was worried that something might happen to him, so I went with another girl to help him back to his apartment."
Guan Feng asked, "When did you go back?"
Li Qian's eyes darted around, and she lowered her head to say, "My classmate took Kato-sensei back to her apartment and then came back. I only went back this morning."
Guan Feng asked, "What were you doing staying in his apartment? Wasn't he drunk at the time?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qian confessed, "He wasn't actually that drunk. After we got to the apartment, he started groping me. I... I couldn't fight back, so I had no choice but to accept it. But since we didn't have any money involved, it's not illegal, right?"
Guan Feng asked, "No, but since it involves a murder case, we need to know more details. According to you, you did some things that boyfriend and girlfriend would do in the apartment?"
Li Qian nodded and said, "Yes."
Guan Feng asked, "We checked the surveillance footage and found that you and Kato Hiroshi returned to the apartment around 10 o'clock. Did you start doing it as soon as you entered the apartment? Or was there a short interval in between? It would be best if the time was more accurate."
Li Qian thought for a moment, then blushed and said, "It started as soon as I entered the apartment. He started taking off my clothes as soon as he came in..."
Listening to Li Qian's description, Guan Feng continued, "Can you guarantee that Kato Hiroshi hasn't left your sight during this time?"
Li Qian said confidently, "He's inside, how could he leave? Wait! You suspect that Kato Hiroshi killed Nishimura Yoshiko-sensei? This... how is that possible? He... he had no motive, and he really has been with me the whole time."
Guan Feng asked, "You said you were together, but there was never a time when you were apart?"
Li Qian said somewhat shyly, "Yes, how should I put it, there were definitely times when he went to the toilet, but it was only for a minute or two. He couldn't possibly kill someone, could he? Besides, we did it four times last night. Apart from resting for three or four hours at night, we did it once more this morning. How could he possibly have the energy to kill someone?"
Guan Feng asked, "What time do you go to bed at night?"
Li Qian recalled, "It must have been around two or three o'clock. I got up to go to the toilet and it was already past one o'clock. Then I did it a third time, so it must have been at least two or three o'clock."
Guan Feng pointed to the camera on Huang Lili's shoulder and said, "Li Qian! Can you guarantee the truthfulness of your words? This involves a murder case. If you commit perjury or deliberately cover up a crime, you will be held legally responsible."
Li Qian said, "I know, how could I possibly cover it up? Our relationship isn't that good."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "You'd better understand this principle!"
Li Qian asked, "Captain Guan, may I ask what happened? What exactly happened? What happened to Ms. Nishimura?"
Guan Feng asked, "That's exactly what I was going to ask you! Does Nishimura Miko have any enemies? Or has she ever had any conflicts with anyone?"
Li Qian shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Ms. Nishimura Yoshiko is a really kind teacher. She always treats her students with kindness and there has never been any conflict between them. I can't understand who would want to harm her!"
Guan Feng said, "We asked in private; don't bring the official evaluation criteria over here."
Li Qian nodded seriously and said, "I'm describing her as she usually is."
Guan Feng asked, "Any details?"
Li Qian said, "Professor Nishimura Yoshiko always speaks softly in class. If students want to pursue further studies, she will provide after-class tutoring. By the way, she knew that two students in our college were from poor families and even gave them living expenses privately. There are too many such stories. You can ask her if you don't believe me. I'm not just making this up. She is truly an excellent teacher."
Guan Feng's impression of Nishimura Miko was more direct.
He asked, "Anything else? Similar details?"
Li Qian said, "There are too many! I've also heard that some foreign teachers have forced students into having relationships, but Teacher Meizi stopped them."
Guan Feng asked, "Which teacher specifically?"
Li Qian shook her head and said, "I don't know about that; it's all just hearsay."
Guan Feng, however, had a gut feeling that something was wrong and asked, "Do you know about the students involved?"
Li Qian's eyes darted around, as if she wanted to deny it: "I...I don't know."
Guan Feng looked at Li Qian and said, "Li Qian, do you think you can escape this investigation by staying out of it? Don't you want to give Nishimura Miko justice?"
“I know what you’re worried about. Please rest assured that we will protect your privacy and even investigate more samples. Even if the school or other people discuss it, they will not identify you as the person who leaked all this information.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qian asked, "Really?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Of course!"
Li Qian gritted her teeth, looked at Guan Feng, and finally seemed to muster up her courage to say, "Then I'll confess! Actually, this matter has quite a big impact. It happened last semester. At that time, the senior was pregnant, and her parents made a scene at the school. In the end, we heard that she was recommended for postgraduate studies, and then it was dropped."
Guan Feng asked, "A recommendation for graduate school?"
Li Qian said, "Yes, I had an abortion and stayed on as a graduate student at the university."
Guan Feng asked, "Then who is this foreign teacher?"
Li Qian said, "Yes, it's Teacher Victor."
Guan Feng asked, "Is it one of those two foreign teachers from the United States?"
Li Qian said, "Yes, it's that tall guy. It's said that he used tricks to deceive a lot of girls, every year. Every time a new student enters our college, the senior students warn the next batch not to be easily fooled, but some girls still do it. Compared to him, Professor Kato is much better."
