Li Yushu's expression changed slightly, his gaze darkened, and he pressed his thin lips together, staring quietly at Bai Qianmo.
"It's quite a coincidence that I know Yafei's assistant, Yang Bingbing. We're old classmates. I couldn't get in touch with Yafei when I came back this time. I called Yang Bingbing this morning and found out that Yafei had an accident."
The answer was flawless.
Bai Qianmo scoffed inwardly, thinking it was exactly what she expected.
Li Yushu is such a meticulous person that even if Zhang Yafei's accident had nothing to do with him, he would still think that the police would include him in the list of suspects.
His presence at the police station at this time must have been well-prepared.
The fact that Yang Bingbing is being called now means that Li Yushu must have contacted her beforehand.
"Oh, I see."
"Qianmo, what are you doing here? Did you give up being an artist to become a police officer?"
"I was helping a friend out, and it just so happens that I'm in charge of this case."
Li Yushu nodded knowingly, then calmly turned to Zhang's mother and said, "Auntie, I want to go see Yafei."
"Okay, I'll take you to see her one last time." Zhang's mother covered her mouth with a handkerchief and, supported by Zhang's younger brother, walked shakily toward the forensic room.
"Qianmo, see you later."
Bai Qianmo responded, and Li Yushu and Luo Cheng nodded politely before leaving with Zhang's mother and brother.
"This Li Yushu seems very composed, yet he dares to come here in person at this time. What is he thinking?"
"Whatever he's thinking, keep a close eye on him!"
"clear."
An autopsy was performed on Zhang Yafei's body with the consent of her family.
During the autopsy, Bai Qianmo requested to be present and observe in person.
Luo Cheng thought to himself, if Bai Qianmo, a girl, wanted to see the autopsy, it wouldn't make sense for him, a grown man, not to go along.
So, after dressing properly, the two followed the forensic doctor into the cold autopsy room.
The forensic doctor was very skilled. While dissecting the body, he talked in detail with Bai Qianmo about the entire dissection process.
Bai Qianmo stood aside listening attentively, completely unmoved by the scene that was difficult to describe in words.
Luo Cheng managed to hold it in for more than half an hour, but finally couldn't take it anymore and ran out, covering his mouth.
One hour later
The autopsy report was compiled.
As Bai Qianmo walked out of the dissection room, Luo Cheng became angry the moment he saw her calm and composed face.
He, a big, burly man, actually lost face in front of a little girl.
This is truly a disgrace to the men of Beijing.
"Qianmo, as you watched the corpse being dissected, didn't you experience any physiological reaction at all?"
Bai Qianmo was looking down at her practice report: "Did you throw up a few times like that? No way."
Luo Cheng coughed lightly: "Don't be so blunt. Did the autopsy report reveal anything new?"
Bai Qianmo handed the autopsy report to Luo Cheng: "Skin tissue was found under the deceased's fingernails, but it does not belong to the deceased."
"If it doesn't belong to the deceased, then it's very likely the murderer's."
"Everything will become clear once we find this person."
It was nearly noon when I left the police station.
Luo Cheng went to get the car, while Bai Qianmo stood at the door waiting for her.
A familiar white car slowly pulled up in front of her.
After the car stopped, the driver's side door was pushed open, and Li Yushu stepped out of the car.
"Qianmo, are you done with work?"
Bai Qianmo nodded indifferently.
"Let's go have a meal together. I might be able to help with Yafei's death."
Upon hearing the first half of Li Yushu's sentence, Bai Qianmo wanted to refuse outright, but when she heard the second half, she swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
"Then let's go."
Bai Qianmo agreed, and Li Yushu seemed very happy. He gentlemanly opened the passenger door. Before getting into the car, Bai Qianmo sent a message to Luo Cheng, and then bent down and climbed into the car.

It's unclear how the information was leaked, but an anonymous blogger posted a message on Weibo.
#A certain actress surnamed Zhang has been confirmed dead. Her body was found this morning on Xiangshan Slope. She was currently filming an art-house movie.#
This news caused an immediate uproar.
Among the young actresses with the surname Zhang, there are only five or six in the entertainment industry, and Zhang Yafei is the only one currently filming an art-house film.
Considering that Zhang Yafei has hardly appeared in front of the media in the past two days, it seems very abnormal.
It's worth noting that Zhang Yafei is a leading actress at Jiashang Media, and given her current popularity, paparazzi from several media outlets follow her around every day.
Moreover, the big fans in the fan club also update Zhang Yafei's schedule in real time on the official Weibo account of the fan club.
The official Weibo account of the fan club, which had never been absent before, has now not updated any messages for two consecutive days.
According to an insider fan.
In fact, the person in charge of the official Weibo account of Zhang Yafei's fan club is actually a staff member working alongside Zhang Yafei.
That's why I can update her status in a timely manner.
With the official fan club Weibo account remaining silent, and considering the anonymous Weibo post that revealed Zhang Yafei's death, Zhang Yafei's fans are getting restless.
While helping Zhang Yafei refute the rumors online, fans also used photos of Zhang Yafei from her activities a couple of days prior to make their statements more impactful, pretending they were from those days' schedules to spread the rumors.
Some fans went to the official Weibo account of the fan club, Zhang Yafei's studio, and Zhang Yafei's own Weibo account to ask questions.
So far, apart from the active fans, the parties involved, their staff, and Jiashang Media have all remained unusually quiet.
