There was another question: how was the door broken?
Bei Yutang stepped outside and carefully examined the lock. The screws were loose, meaning the murderer had tampered with Ah Hua’s lock beforehand.
After Ah Hua used the item the murderer gave her to cut the rope, the door could be easily opened with a little force. And unless someone outside did something, it wouldn’t be noticeable from the outside.
Given the lock being tampered with, there were two people with time to commit the crime: one was Yan Jin, who went upstairs to tell Li Mengmeng and left briefly.
The time it took him to go upstairs and downstairs was enough for him to open the lock.
As for the razor blade, it was very likely that he delivered it to Ah Hua during the day.
The other person was Feng Qing, who had an afternoon to commit the crime. After that, he just had to wait.
However, before that, she needed to confirm one thing. Once confirmed, the murderer’s identity would be immediately clear.
Bei Yutang returned to the next room. The three people inside were still discussing amongst themselves, completely unaware of her return.
“Let’s go to the cliff edge tomorrow and see if we can find any clues.” Bei Yutang interrupted them.
“Let’s all go back to our rooms and rest for a while. It’s almost dawn; they shouldn’t be coming back.”
“If they dare to show up, we can just arrest them.”
Bei Yutang and Dr. Zhang’s rooms were next to each other, and the two of them headed toward the back wing together.
When Bei Yutang reached her room, she said to Dr. Zhang, “Dr. Zhang, I’m a little scared. Could you stay in the same room as me?”
Dr. Zhang was stunned, completely taken aback by Bei Yutang’s words.
In his view, she was the calmest and most composed person these past few days. She wasn’t even afraid of ghosts, so how could she be afraid of these things?
However, Dr. Zhang also understood.
It was normal to worry and be afraid when facing a powerful force behind the scenes.
“Okay.”
Dr. Zhang followed Bei Yutang into the room. As soon as they entered, Dr. Zhang saw Bei Yutang searching the room thoroughly.
“What are you looking for?”
Bei Yutang didn’t answer.
Dr. Zhang quickly realized what she was doing, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
A few minutes later, after confirming there were no listening devices in the room, she sat down opposite Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang could see that this girl wasn’t afraid; she clearly wanted to keep him behind for questioning.
“What do you want to ask?” Dr. Zhang wasn’t stupid and asked directly.
Bei Yutang stopped beating around the bush: “Dr. Zhang, who opened the door when you and Feng Qing went upstairs?”
“Feng Qing.” Dr. Zhang answered, then frowned.
“Is there a problem?”
Bei Yutang shook her head.
“When the three of you went to the East Hall, did Yan Jin encounter any problems on the way?”
Dr. Zhang had initially thought that she suspected Feng Qing, but started questioning Yan Jin again, which dispelled that thought.
Bei Yutang asked a whole bunch of questions before letting Dr. Zhang go.
Once Dr. Zhang left, Bei Yutang understood.
Why did he do this?
Was it purely to kill and satisfy his own pleasure?
No, from that acrostic poem, she could sense a kind of hatred in that acrostic poem.
What could have driven him to do this?
What did they do to make him want to kill them?
