In the upscale apartment of a high-end complex, staff wearing gloves were collecting evidence. Zhou Bei stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, making a phone call to Li Yeqi, "We're a step too late."
"Did they catch the perpetrator?" Li Yeqi asked in a heavy voice.
"No, the door to the apartment was ajar when we arrived. The coroner preliminarily ruled it a suicide, but we'll have to wait for the police investigation and evidence collection to know for sure," Zhou Bei said gravely.
The timing of the assailant was just right because Xiao Xiaoxiao's body temperature hadn't completely cooled when the autopsy was conducted, indicating she had drowned in the bathtub only about ten minutes prior.
Moreover, a text message that hadn't been sent was found on Xiao Xiaoxiao's phone. It was addressed to Qing Junxiu and sounded quite desperate, suggesting a suicidal tendency.
