You Owe Me, My Love

Chen Wei’s parents joined them.

No one visited Chen Wei’s house between the suspected time frames, and there were no suspicious individuals lurking around. Everything was quiet.

Bai Rong watched the footage three times, but she never saw anyone suspicious.

“Did Wei buy those sedatives herself? That doesn’t seem possible either. Wei is a very obedient child, and she would never buy something like that. She’s not depressed either,” commented Chen Wei’s mom in a confused tone.

“I am going to kill that son of a b*tch!” growled Chen Wei’s dad angrily.

Bai Rong could tell what Chen Wei’s dad guessed. He must have assumed that someone harassed his daughter.

“Calm down. The chances of your daughter taking the drug on her own is zero. If she had taken the drug out of her own free will, it would not make sense for her to hold on to her phone like that. It’d make even less sense that she’d take it with her coffee. We must’ve missed something,” said Bai Rong.

“We’ve watched the footage in its entirety three times. There is no murderer or anyone suspicious. It’s not like the murderer could’ve crawled up from under the ground,” said Chen Wei’s father grimly.

Bai Rong immediately had an epiphany. “You’re right. The murderer might have crawled up from under the ground! Let’s go. If they climbed into the room, then there had to be a hole there somewhere. It hadn’t been that long since the crime took place, so the culprit may not have filled the hole yet. Let’s hurry over.”

With that, Bai Rong rushed out of the conference room with Cheng Jinrong close behind. Chen Wei’s parents and the other detectives followed them.

They soon reached Chen Wei’s room, which was not that big.

Everyone started examining the place.

“Move the closets and all other furniture aside,” instructed Bai Rong.

The police officers moved the furniture out of the way and discovered a dark hole underneath one of the closets.

Seeing that got Chen Wei’s mother to break down immediately. “My baby!”

Bai Rong’s heart was especially heavy as well.
