At the City Police Bureau, when Xia Jing and her friend Xiaomei were taken for questioning, Ye Qiu was alone in Zhao Ruxue's office.
About half an hour later, Zhao Ruxue returned and sighed, "That Miss Xia's friend is indeed not a suspect."
Although Xiaomei was the first to discover the caretaker's body, she merely found it. From the time Xiaomei entered Xia Jing's villa to when she left, it took just a few minutes. Moreover, from the surveillance videos, it's clear that before Xiaomei arrived, the caretaker was already lying on the stairs.
She fell from the stairs and then crawled a few steps before bleeding to death in the hall.
"Judging by the throat-slitting technique, it's likely the same perpetrator."
"One slash to the throat?" Ye Qiu asked.
"The knife work suggests so."
Zhao Ruxue couldn't fathom why these people were so vicious, murdering even a simple caretaker?
"This is all targeted at Xia Jing!"
