"What do you mean by that?" Bai Kangyan asked coldly.
Bai Xiruo looked at Han Songyan with a hesitant expression, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Have you ever thought about why my mother fell off the balcony of Qianmo's room?"
Bai Kangyan's brows furrowed even more: "You want to say that Qianmo pushed her? No, that's absolutely impossible. Qianmo would never stoop to doing such a thing. Xiruo, how long are you going to go against Qianmo? Ever since Qianmo came home, you've been making things difficult for her at every turn. Now you want to slander her for harming her own biological mother?"
"Dad, don't you have even the slightest suspicion?" Bai Xiruo scoffed.
"Because I am not your biological daughter, no matter what I say or do, you all think I am targeting Bai Qianmo."
"I'm not sure if it's related to Qianmo right now, but it doesn't seem like my mother fell from the second floor by accident. There's a railing over a meter high on the second-floor balcony, and she was wearing a form-fitting dress today. There's no way she could have fallen by accident."
Bai Kangyan was deep in thought. "No, Qianmo is definitely not that kind of person."
Although Qianmo and Song Yan's relationship has always been strained, the girl is kind-hearted and would never use such extreme methods to treat her family.
He had actually suspected the points raised by Xi Ruo as well; Song Yan's fall from the building was indeed too suspicious.
Bai Xiruo sneered inwardly.
"This matter must be thoroughly investigated. I think we should call the police."

Bai Qianmo returned to Han Songyan's ward more than an hour later.
She pushed open the door and came in, only to see two uniformed criminal police officers in the ward. Bai Qianmo paused for a moment, then walked in calmly.
Bai Xiruo did not leave; Bai Kangyan and Bai Luoyu were also present.
Who is this?
One of the detectives taking a statement looked up at Bai Qianmo. The detective was in his twenties, and although he appeared very restrained, a glint of light shone in his eyes when he saw Bai Qianmo.
"Bai Qianmo?"
Bai Qianmo glanced sideways at Bai Xiruo out of the corner of her eye, and gave a knowing smile.
"I am!"
"She's even prettier than on TV," the young detective couldn't help but exclaim.
The young detective has recently been watching "The Legend of Phoenix" and is particularly fond of the character Nie Wuxin. Through this character, he has even started to learn more about Bai Qianmo online.
Upon learning that she was JQ's student, highly skilled, and had even saved someone from a crocodile's jaws, Bai Qianmo's affection for her skyrocketed, and she is now a big fan of Bai Qianmo.
"Ahem!" The older detective coughed twice, drawing the younger policeman's gaze away.
Young people just lack self-control; they can't take their eyes off beautiful women.
The young detective avoided Bai Qianmo's gaze somewhat shyly.
"Miss Bai Qianmo, when was the last time you saw your mother today?"
“Two minutes before her accident,” Bai Qianmo sat down and answered calmly.
The detective frowned, giving Bai Qianmo a deep look: "Were you in the room when your mother fell from the building?"
"No, she had an accident as soon as I went out," Bai Qianmo told the truth.
"Were you and your daughter alone at the time?"
"Yes."
"What are you doing?"
Bai Qianmo recounted in detail how Han Songyan had asked her to try on the dress, and the detective pondered for a moment.
"So you refused her offer and then left the room."
"Yes!"
"My colleague sent over the results of the on-site investigation. Judging from the location and posture of Ms. Han's fall, it doesn't seem like she fell by herself. Moreover, we found something else on the balcony."
After saying that, the detective pointed the photo on his phone at Bai Qianmo.
Inside the plastic bag, a familiar necklace appeared before my eyes.
Bai Qianmo narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Miss Bai, it is said that there is only one of this necklace in the world. You wore it at Old Master Bai’s birthday banquet.”
“Yes, this is indeed my necklace,” Bai Qianmo readily admitted.
The necklace's appearance on the balcony did surprise her. It had been broken by Man Xueni at her grandfather's birthday banquet and sent for emergency repairs. It had only recently been returned from abroad, and she was certain she hadn't worn it when she went out today.
But at this moment, the necklace appeared out of nowhere on the balcony of her room in Longxi Garden. Heh, it seems that some people have gone to great lengths to frame her.
But there's still one thing she can't understand.
If Bai Xiruo really framed Han Songyan and pushed her to the ground, how did she manage to do it without anyone noticing?
She had only been gone from the room for about two minutes when Han Songyan fell to her death.
There is only one plausible explanation: the murderer was already hiding in the room before they entered the house.
"How do you explain the fact that your necklace appeared on the balcony?"
"If I said I didn't know either, would you believe me?" Bai Qianmo asked back.
The detective smiled politely. He had been handling cases for many years, and judging from the girl's calm eyes, he had a gut feeling that she had nothing to do with the case.
However, intuition cannot serve as evidence, so the truth still needs sufficient evidence to prove it.
Bai Qianmo explained, "My necklace was only sent back from abroad the day before yesterday, and it was still in my dressing table drawer when I went out today."
The detectives continued taking statements.
"Who can prove you weren't wearing this necklace at the time?"
Bai Qianmo calmly replied, "I attended the Prosperity Anniversary Celebration this morning, and I have video evidence of it."
The young policeman immediately took out his phone and found the video from the anniversary celebration.
"I was definitely not wearing this necklace."
In the video, Bai Qianmo is wearing a necklace provided by a sponsor, but the design and style are quite different from this necklace, so it can be confirmed that Bai Qianmo did not wear this necklace out.
The older detective stared at Bai Qianmo in the video for a while, then looked at her again.
When you left the room, did you see anyone in the hallway?
"No."
The older detective raised an eyebrow: "But now someone has come forward to testify, saying that they saw you walking out of your room in a panic, and then someone discovered that Mrs. Bai had fallen from the building."
