Although I had prepared myself mentally, hearing the news still felt like a heavy blow to my heart.
A heavy feeling settled in my chest.
Although Lan Xiaoxiao seems spoiled and willful, I would be happy to see her learn how to be a person through reality.
People who are too arrogant, without real skills, will always have to pay the price of learning a lesson when they enter society.
But she hadn't done anything heinous or unforgivable. She died at such a young age, and was probably murdered. As a woman herself, she felt a pang of regret.
"Is the lord already at the crime scene?"
"Yes, Sir and we are all here. To protect the scene, we are waiting outside for the police to arrive."
Bai Qianmo took a deep breath: "Did you see the circumstances of Lan Xiaoxiao's death?"
Xie Siming was somewhat puzzled as to why Bai Qianmo would ask such a question.
Shouldn't a girl feel scared when she finds out that someone she knows has suddenly died?
The younger sister-in-law was actually more concerned about Lan Xiaoxiao's death.
She really is the woman who won over the Duke.
Xie Siming felt a surge of admiration for Bai Qianmo for some reason.
"Oh, I glanced at it then. He died in the bathroom. The scene was a bit hard to describe. In short, he died a gruesome death."
Bai Qianmo fell into deep thought.
Just as she had predicted, Lan Xiaoxiao died in the bathroom.
Hang up the phone
Su Peishan seemed to hear the noise and got out of her bed.
"Qianmo, what happened?"
"You're not asleep?"
Su Peishan smoothed her hair: "You looked so preoccupied all night, it kept me up all night. I vaguely heard you on the phone outside just now, I only heard the name Lan Xiaoxiao. What happened? Did that brat cause trouble again? Humph! She better pray she doesn't run into me tomorrow, otherwise, I'll definitely..."
"Lan Xiaoxiao is dead!"
Su Peishan's waving fist suddenly froze in mid-air, her pupils dilating sharply: "What did you say?"
"Lan Xiaoxiao died in her room's bathroom. The police will be there soon. Mr. Gu and the others have already gone there."
"Ah!" Su Peishan's face was full of shock.
"How...how could he just die like that? No...it couldn't be that he felt wronged after being forced to apologize to me by Du Muchen today, and in a moment of despair, he did it..."
The thought of this possibility made Su Peishan's heart clench with pain.
"Although I hate that girl, I don't want to see her die, Qianmo, what should I do? Did I indirectly cause her death?"
Bai Qianmo remained silent.
Based on what she saw, Lan Xiaoxiao's death scene looked like a suicide by cutting, but her facial expression did not resemble that of a suicide.
The images flashed by too quickly for her to see the true cause of Lan Xiaoxiao's death, but one thing was certain: Lan Xiaoxiao did not commit suicide.
The person who texted her might be the murderer.
But why would the other person send her a text message? This was something she couldn't understand.
"Qianmo, what should we do now?"
Bai Qianmo patted Su Peishan on the shoulder: "Let's wait and see."
In this situation, we can only wait for the police to investigate the scene before making any plans.
Ten minutes later
The corridor suddenly became lively, with police sirens blaring downstairs.
"I heard there was a murder? I'm so unlucky. I brought my whole family here to enjoy a hot spring and have a short vacation, but this terrible thing happened instead."
"I heard the deceased was a young girl, and her death was quite gruesome."
"How were you discovered?"
"It is said that the person had booked a massage therapist from the hotel for in-room service, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time. The hotel service in Yucheng is very attentive. After reviewing the surveillance footage, the staff confirmed that the deceased was alone in the room and had not come out. They then realized that something was wrong and used the spare key to open the door. They found the deceased lying in the bathtub in the bathroom, and his body was already cold."
"I heard it was a suicide, that he cut his wrists."
"Sigh, she's so young, why is she so pessimistic?"
Doorway
Su Peishan looked gloomy and seemed very depressed.
Bai Qianmo, on the other hand, was lost in thought with a blank expression.
Lan Xiaoxiao's room is on the floor below Bai Qianmo's.
Because someone died in the hotel, all the hotel guests rushed over upon hearing the news.
Police have cordoned off the area, and the building is packed with people making a racket.
When Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan arrived, Gu Jueye, Du Muchen, Jiang Nanyan, Xie Siming, and Ji Cong'an were all present.
They were taken into a room by the police, who were questioning them about the situation.
In the bathroom, forensic doctors and criminal investigators are examining the scene of the death.
Gu Jueye noticed Bai Qianmo standing in the crowd. He exchanged a few words with the criminal police officer next to him, and the officer immediately looked towards the door.
"Miss Bai, Miss Su, please come in. Prepare shoe covers and gloves for them."
The detective standing nearby immediately took out two spare pairs of shoe covers and gloves and went to the door.
Bai Qianmo and Su Peishan crossed the cordon and put on shoe covers and gloves before entering the room.
