This is the last bonus chapter as I promised before, after this the chapter will be posted at schedule time. Ah, I forgot to say Happy Eid Mubarak, enjoy your reading~
Zhu Xiaoting suddenly had diarrhea, at first Yue Xingwen did not associate with the aspect of ‘she was drugged’, and thought that the murderer was hiding on the side to wait for an opportunity, and saw Zhu Xiaoting leave, so the murderer went to kill Liu Jiajia.
Now it seemed that the murderer was premeditated.
Yue Xingwen followed closely and asked, “When you and Liu Jiajia went to the beach to take photos, there was still unfinished food on the table, right?”
Zhu Xiaoting nodded and replied, “Yes, there are a lot of grilled skewers that I hadn’t have time to eat.”
Yue Xingwen said, “The murderer has long set his sights on Liu Jiajia, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity of this Law Department group outing to kill her. Seeing you taking photos on the beach, the murderer secretly drugged your food, letting you leave the beach with diarrhea. There is no one around Liu Jiajia, so the murderer can directly sneak into the tent to kill her, drag her into the sea, and forge the illusion of drowning death.”
Zhu Xiaoting bit her lip and said, “I was also wondering, Jiajia and I eat the same things, how come she is fine? I ran to the toilet a dozen times at night… So someone deliberately drugged me?”
Yue Xingwen said, “These are our speculations. At present, we have locked the source of the potassium cyanide that poisoned Liu Jiajia and the suspects who had contact with the poison. If you want to clear your name, we have to find stronger evidence.”
Zhu Xiaoting’s eyes were slightly red, she choked up and said, “Thank you. If you hadn’t come to me, I wouldn’t know what to do. My mind would be confused after being taken to the police station. Many things, you asked me, I just remembered…”
Lan Yarong said gently, “This is what a defense lawyer should do, you just have to believe in us.”
Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously and said, “En, the only person I can trust now is you!”
Lan Yarong said, “The truth of the beach case will soon be revealed, because Liu Jiajia died of poisoning, and you are an ordinary university student in the Translation Department. It’s difficult to get the toxic substance such as potassium cyanide, and you can find the murderer by finding the source of the toxin substance. At present, the most difficult thing is the dormitory murder case, there is too much evidence, and it’s very unfavorable to you.”
Yue Xingwen took out a well-organized document, which listed the evidence he knew so far, and he said, “Look carefully at the evidence related to what the police asked you and proved that you are the murderer, is it these?”
- The murder weapon was a fruit knife purchased by Zhu Xiaoting, and only Zhu Xiaoting’s fingerprints were found on the murder weapon;
- Xie Xiangqing called Zhu Xiaoting for 30 seconds before her death; Send WeChat messages said, ‘there should be an end between us’;
- The roommate Mao Yue witnessed Zhu Xiaoting holding a sharp knife and Xie Xiangqin falling in a pool of blood; After Mao Yue screamed loudly, at least 5 witnesses at the scene saw this scene;
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
- The skin fragments in the nails of the deceased Xie Xiangqin were genetically identified and matched Zhu Xiaoting, and when Zhu Xiaoting was brought back by the police on the day of the crime, there were scars on the back of her hand, which was consistent with the judgment that ‘the deceased scratched her’;
- Zhu Xiaoting had a crush on Zou Yijia, the current boyfriend of the deceased. Zhu Xiaoting and the deceased had many contradictions in life, the two had quarreled many times and Zhu Xiaoting had a motive of murder;
- Zhu Xiaoting lived in dormitory 703 and had the dormitory key in her hand, so she could easily open the door and enter the room to commit murder;
- No footprints of a third person other than Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting were found at the scene. There were only four roommates’ fingerprints in the dormitory, and at that time, roommate Mao Yue was a witness, and roommate Li Huijuan was not in the dormitory.

From the perspective of the police, Zhu Xiaoting was the murderer, which was simply ironclad evidence.
This chain of evidence all showed that Xie Xiangqin called Zhu Xiaoting and sent WeChat. Zhu Xiaoting returned to the dormitory, and under the dispute between both of them, Zhu Xiaoting impulsively killed her, did not handle the scene well, and was arrested by the roommate who returned. Such inexperienced criminals who left a lot of evidence on the scene were also common in reality, and it was very easy to solve the case.
Yue Xingwen and the others had ‘God’s perspective’, and the library told them the content of this examination. They learned that Zhu Xiatoing was not the murderer, and must defend her. However, the police in this world did not have a God perspective, judging from the evidence currently available to the police—— Zhu Xiaoting was the only murderer.
She had a motive for the murder, the time of the murder, the process, the murder weapon, the chain of evidence was complete, there was nothing to reverse.
Zhu Xiaoting also knew that the current situation was not very good. She choked and said, “I know that the evidence is not good for me, I was very confused at that time. I opened the door and saw Xie Xiangqin falling to the ground, I subconsciously went to save her. She was not dead when I ran to her, she grabbed my hand and seemed to want to speak, kind of… Can you understand the feeling of grabbing a life-saving straw?”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “I can understand. She wasn’t dead at that time, she knew who the murderer was, she wanted you to save her and wanted to tell you the real murderer, but she had lost too much blood and couldn’t speak. Her nails scratch the back of your hand because her last-minute desire to live gave her a tiny bit of strength, instead creating the illusion that you fought her and she scratched you.”
But the police would not believe such an explanation.
The deceased’s mobile phone did not leave the fingerprints of the murderer. The deceased had a call with Zhu Xiaoting, WeChat records, plus so many witnesses. If ‘this was deliberately arranged by the murderer’, it was difficult to be convincing.
Lan Yarong said softly, “Don’t worry, think about it carefully. Have Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin had a conflict? Or, do you know the other three roommates in Zou Yijia’s dormitory? Do they have a crush on Xie Xiangqin?”
Zhu Xiaoting didn’t expect that Lan Yarong would suddenly mention Zou Yijia. She was stunned for a moment before returning to her senses and said, “Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin’s relationship should be very good. Xie Xiangqin will make phone calls with him every day before going to bed, and also act coquettish with him, sometimes chatting for two hours. By the way, Zou Yijia took Xie Xiangqin to play games.”
Yue Xingwen immediately grasped the key information and asked, “What game?”
Zhu Xiaoting said, “They play a mobile game, the kind of tower pushing game of 5 people, I don’t know much about it. The four people in Zou Yijia’s dormitory and Xie Xiangqin often lined up for 5 people to rank, sometimes playing until 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. Listening to Xie Xiangqin, the boys in Zou Yijia’s dormitory are quite good at playing games.”
Yue Xingwen was puzzled, “On the day of Xie Xiangqin’s accident, 4 people in Zou Yijia’s dormitory played games together, and did not take her?”
Zhu Xiaoting shook her head and replied, “I don’t know about this. Xie Xiangqin should be quite bad at playing games. I often see her mobile phone screen turn gray, killed by the opposite side, she is following those boys to lie down and win.”
Yue Xingwen quickly recorded this key point and tagged Ke Shaobin in the group: “KeShaobin check about what game do Zou Yijia and his other roommates play in detail, it’s best to find out their game accounts and side accounts.”
Ke Shaobin immediately replied: “No problem! I play all kinds of popular games, and I’m going to get them tonight to hack.”
Yue XIngwen put away his mobile phone and asked, “Zou Yijia, what do you think of his character?”
Zhu Xiaoting said, “He is a very cheerful and talkative boy who often helps us carry bottled water upstairs. There are girls in our major buying a computer, he will also help carry things, a very enthusiastic junior brother, everyone likes him very much.”
Yue Xingwen said, “He often comes to your girls’ dormitory?”
Zhu Xiaoting froze for a moment, and hesitated for a moment before saying, “He often helps us carry water. Girls’ dormitory uses water dispensers with bottled water. The bottled water is very heavy, many familiar boys will help us carry the water and the dormitory aunt will also let them in when they see them carrying water.”
Lan Yarong reminded her, “Don’t put the filter of adoration to look at Zou Yijia. You like him, maybe it’s just on the surface. Xiaoting, you are likely to be prosecuted by the police for intentional homicide now, even if you haven’t studied law, you should know it, right? If you can’t clear your suspicions, you can be sentenced to death!”
Yue Xingwen nodded, saying, “Yes, sober up, Zou Yijia may also be the murderer.”
Zhu Xiaoting was stunned and said, “Him? How could he kill Xie Xiangqin… Aren’t their relationships very good?”
Yue Xingwen said, “Have you personally asked Zou Yijia if they have a good relationship?”
Zhu Xiaoting was silent for a moment and shook her head, “I– I just judge by myself, because every time Xie Xiangqin mentions Zou Yijia, she has a sweet look, and the two also make phone calls every day.”
Lan Yarong asked, “Does she know about your secret crush on Zou Yijia?”
Zhu Xiaoting said with a pale face, “Yes, she once saw the diary I wrote…”
Lan Yarong said, “So, under the premise of knowing that you have a secret crush on Zou Yijia, she showed that the two of them were very affectionate in front of you, maybe it was just a little girl’s show-off mentality. You couldn’t get the boy she got, which indirectly proves her excellence. Even if she quarreled with Zou Yijia, she wouldn’t quarrel in front of you to give you a chance, understand?”
Zhu Xiaoting suddenly realized and said, “It makes sense! No wonder she always calls Zou Yijia in front of me.”
Yue Xingwen took out the book and asked while taking notes, “His roommates, are you familiar with them?”
Zhu Xiaoting nodded and said, “I know. His roommates are all our major junior brothers. One of them has a very stable relationship with his girlfriend, the other two are single.”
Yue Xingwen asked, “The two who are single, do you understand the specific personalities and characteristics of both of them?”
Zhu Xiaoting said, “Zhong Jian, is the class monitor of their current class, has a very cheerful personality, and has a very strong relationship with Zou Yijia. He is the tallest one in our major, close to one meter nine, in addition to loving games, he also loves sports, he is good at playing basketball, just because there are too many acne on his face, he looks a little ugly, so no girls chase him…”
Yue Xingwen couldn’t cry or laugh, and continued to ask, “What about the other one?”
Zhu Xiaoting said, “Ji Xiaohui is more introverted, looks very cultured, is about 175 tall. He is our major student, but his family conditions are not good. He has been working hard and studying, and I also helped him find a job in school. Because we worked in the Education Office together, my relationship with him is quite good.”
Yue Xingwen wrote down these names. Seeing that the time was almost up, he and Lan Yarong got up and left the police station.
After walking out of the police station, Yue Xingwen found a place where no one was to discuss with Lan Yarong, “What does senior sister think?”
Lan Yarong folded her arms and said thoughtfully, “The beach case is not difficult to solve. After tracing the source of the poison, we will soon be able to lock the murderer, Chen Kaiming, Lin Xuefei, the couple, I personally prefer it was the girl Lin Xuefei that moved her hand. At that time, Zhu Xiaoting and Liu Jiajia were taking photos on the beach, and she passed by a little deliberately. Zhu Xiaoting asked her to help take a group photo. After taking the photo, she could take the opportunity to blend into the Law Department’s student group, find Zhu Xiaoting’s seat, and give laxative inZhu Xiaoting’s food/drink.”
Yue Xingwen nodded approvingly and said, “En, there were more than 90 students in the Law Department at that time, and when a strange girl appeared, people didn’t pay too much attention to her. As for the motive, it’s likely to be because Chen Kaiming’s heart has been unable to let go of the goddess he had a crush on in high school, treating Liu Jiajia as white moonlight. Liu Jiajia may have been mentioned during the relationship. Lin Xuefei’s conditions in all aspects are not as good as Liu Jiajia, and she is jealous, so she wants to get rid of this white moonlight in her boyfriend’s heart?”
Lan Yarong said, “This motive makes sense. Of course, if Chen Kaiming committed the crime, after his unrequited love for so many years, he couldn’t get her so he simply killed her. Such a motive is also in line with the logic of criminal psychology.”
Yue Xingwen said, “The murderer should be among these two people. Let’s go back and check the duty records of the laboratory of the Chemistry Department, or ask the students of the Chemistry Department, who of them has been assigned by the teacher to get the substance, then we can lock the real murderer.”
After all, the crime method of the beach case ‘poisoning’ was relatively special after all, and it was relatively easy to solve the mystery.
It was still the dormitory case that gave Yue Xingwen a headache.
Since no evidence was left, it was still difficult for them to find the real murderer.
What made Yue Xingwen even more depressed was that at this moment, a library popped up in the hover box of the two at the same time: “The police have collected all the evidence to prove that Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer, and it will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office for review and formal prosecution.”
Lan Yarong opened her eyes wide and looked at the hover box notice again: “So fast? It seems that the police have already identified Zhu Xiaoting as the murderer?”
Yue Xingwen said seriously, “We have to hurry up, the library has accelerated the process of this case!”
