Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

"Officer Bai, I heard the murderer has been caught."

When He Yuzhu saw Bai Ling coming over, he roughly understood why she came.

Since Lu Qi disposed of the murder weapon and the blood-stained clothes, he must have made a plan and would not plead guilty easily.

In addition, although the people in the yard met him, it was too dark that night and no one could see his appearance clearly, so they had no way to identify the murderer.

This resulted in the situation being very bad even though the person was caught.

Bai Ling came to the Siheyuan probably to find clues.

"There is no way to prove that he is the murderer, he can only be called a suspect."

Bai Ling looked unhappy. She asked, "Yuzhu, do you know Lu Qi?"

He Yuzhu nodded, "I know him, I've bought medicine from his pharmacy before."

Bai Ling then asked: "Then do you know what his relationship is with the Jia family?"

Bai Ling couldn't understand this. Through their investigation and the confessions of the people in the yard, Lu Qi had nothing to do with the Jia family.

Then he had no motive to kill Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu.

He Yuzhu said: "Relationship, I don't think so. I have never heard of any connection between them before."

Bai Ling had already expected this kind of answer and felt helpless.

He Yuzhu added: "However, when I passed by Lu Qi's pharmacy before, I saw him and Qin Huairu talking and laughing. I wonder if this counts as a clue?"

When Bai Ling heard this, she perked up.

This was the first time she heard about the connection between Qin Huairu and Lu Qi.

"Yuzhu, are you telling the truth? Have you seen the two of them talking and laughing?"

He Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, I have seen him two or three times."

Bai Ling seemed to see hope. According to what He Yuzhu said, Qin Huairu and Lu Qi were most likely the connecting points of this matter.

Lu Qi’s motive for murder may be hidden therein.

This is really useful.

"Yuzhu, thank you so much, the clues you provided are very useful."

"I'll go find Qin Huairu right now."

Bai Ling stood up and expressed her gratitude to He Yuzhu.

Time is running out now, she must hurry.

I'm going to the mental hospital and ask Qin Huairu.

Bai Ling was also a little worried. Qin Huairu had gone crazy, and she didn't know if she could get anything out of her.

However, given the current situation, I have to go.

......

Mental hospital.

Under the guidance of the dean, Bai Ling came to a separate ward.

With a creak, the rusty iron door opened, and what came into view was a hospital bed with a woman tied to it. Her messy hair was scattered on the slightly stained pillow.

He looked at the old ceiling with empty eyes.

This person is Qin Huairu.

The dean reminded Bai Ling that the patient's condition was very serious and he was somewhat aggressive, so she had to be careful when questioning him.

Bai Ling nodded, walked into the white room, stood beside the bed, and looked at Qin Huairu lying on it.

I felt a little emotional. The last time I saw her was in the courtyard. Qin Huairu was still very young and beautiful at that time. It has only been a short time and she has become like this.

Life is unpredictable.

Bai Ling was also a little worried. With Qin Huairu's condition, could she really get some information from her?

"Qin Huairu, do you still recognize me?"

Bai Ling asked softly.

Qin Huairu still looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, without any reaction.

Bai Ling said: "I am Bai Ling, a friend of He Yuzhu. We have met before. Have you forgotten?"

Qin Huairu still didn't respond.

Bai Ling said: "I came here this time to ask you some questions, I hope you can answer them."

"Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang are already dead."

Qin Huairu's eyeballs twitched and her body shook, but it was so slight that it was hard to detect without careful observation.

But Bai Ling still noticed her reaction.

It seems there is still a chance to ask questions.

Bai Ling continued, "On the night before yesterday, a man broke into the Jia family and stabbed Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi in the chest with a knife, piercing their hearts and killing them both."

After saying this, she looked at Qin Huairu, observing her reaction.

Qin Huairu's mouth trembled, as if she was saying something.

Bai Ling moved closer and heard Qin Huairu muttering, "Kill, kill, kill."

Then the voices grew louder and louder, "Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Gradually it filled the entire room.

Bai Ling didn't expect Qin Huairu to react like this. It seems that even if she was crazy, she still hated Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang very much.

She said, "Qin Huairu, calm down."

"I wonder if you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Bai Ling, and the word "kill" in her mouth turned into "good".

"Good! Good! Good!"

Bai Ling continued to ask: "Do you know Lu Qi?"

When Qin Huairu heard the name, her pupils contracted for a moment, then quickly recovered and continued to say "OK" loudly.

Bai Ling said: "We suspect Lu Qi is the murderer who killed Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang."

Qin Huairu's face twitched and her voice became softer, as if she wanted to hear clearly what Bai Ling said.

Bai Ling said: "On the night when the murderer committed the crime, many people in the courtyard saw the murderer."

"This murderer looks very similar to Lu Qi."

"..."

As Qin Huairu listened, she gradually fell silent, feeling very uncomfortable.

Hearing Bai Ling say this, she basically understood that Lu Qi did these things for her.

There is no other possibility.

She didn't expect that Lu Qi loved her so much that he was willing to kill someone.

She was very touched and felt guilty.

It seems that Lu Qi has been caught. He killed two people and he will definitely be sentenced to death.

Bai Ling felt that she was the one who harmed Lu Qi.

She couldn't control her emotions and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

When Bai Ling saw Qin Huairu like this, she knew that she must have a relationship with Lu Qi, otherwise she wouldn't have such a big reaction.

She whispered, "Qin Huairu, do you know Lu Qi? What's your relationship with her?"

Qin Huairu just shed tears and stopped talking.

Bai Ling continued to ask, but Qin Huairu still said nothing.

She was a little anxious. If she continued like this, she would not get anything.

Bai Ling thought about what He Yuzhu said to her when she left He Yuzhu's house.

If Qin Huairu doesn't cooperate and says nothing, you can propose a few times.

Bai Ling was a little confused at the time and didn't know what He Yuzhu meant.

Right now, Qin Huairu can be said to have no cooperation at all.

Bai Ling had no other choice but to try what He Yuzhu said.
