"Don't lie to me. You haven't learned how to control your body yet." Wang Xiaohai said, "Feng Momo didn't tell me how her parents died. How do you know it was arson?"
"Because her house was full of signs of fire, she must have been burned to death," Ma Xiaoming explained.
"How can you be sure that he wasn't killed and then thrown back into the house and burned?" Wang Xiaohai asked back.
"This... this probability is very small." Ma Xiaoming replied, "I am just calculating based on the most likely facts."

"Why, why does she do this!" Feng Momo shouted.
"She's jealous. She's jealous of your mother's beauty and the harmony of her family," Ma Xiaoming cried. "And my father is an alcoholic and a gambler. He gets drunk every day and beats her when he gets home. He also beats her every time she loses money!"
Pain and jealousy drove Ma Xiaoming's mother crazy, and her psychology became extremely distorted. She didn't dare to deal with her terrible husband, so she took her anger out on Feng Momo's family!
