I carefully observed the expression on her face.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, as if she had fallen into a beautiful memory.
This eased my tension considerably.
Because her expression told me that she was speaking the truth.
"So, how is your relationship with your sister?" I asked.
"It's great! My sister is really nice," she replied.
"In what way is she nice?"
Qin Feng's eyes sparkled, and a nostalgic look crossed her face.
"She often took me to the amusement park and bought me delicious food."
"Once, when I was sick, my sister stayed up all night to take care of me."
"She would sleep beside me, telling me stories until I fell asleep."
"She even helped me with my homework and taught me my lessons."
At this point, she paused, and her gaze suddenly dimmed.
"Unfortunately, my sister has already passed away."
"She went missing two years ago. We reported it to the police and searched for a long time, but we couldn't find her."
"In the end, the police concluded that she might no longer be alive."
As she spoke, Qin Feng's eyelashes fluttered a couple of times, as if she felt some sadness.
But I noticed that she wasn't particularly heartbroken.
Perhaps it was because her sister had been gone for too long.
She had grown accustomed to it.
However, from what I gathered, Qin Feng's upbringing seemed quite good.
The family atmosphere was warm, and she had not suffered any abuse.
Her parents cared for her, and her sister doted on her.
How could a child like this develop a twisted psyche?
What could have driven her to commit such a cruel act as pushing a classmate off the building?
What was she really thinking?
After leaving the detention center, I went with Officer Li to Liren Middle School.
This high school is located in the city center.
Although its admission rate is not as high as the top two high schools in the city, it is still quite well-known locally.
After all, the tragedies involving Wu Jiajia and Yao Qiang both occurred at this school.
Thus, this case is closely tied to the institution itself.
Upon arriving at the school, a staff member greeted us.
He led us to the cafeteria, which was the scene of the incident.
The cafeteria had already been cordoned off by the police; only personnel involved in the investigation were allowed inside.
After Officer Li exchanged greetings with the staff member, he began to carefully examine the structure of the cafeteria.
The cafeteria had a total of four floors.
The height of the floors was considerable.
The top floor was about twenty meters above the ground.
Without an elevator, students and faculty typically ascended and descended using the spacious stairs on either side.
Officer Li and I made our way up the stairs to the top floor.
There was a door at the rooftop.
It had a lock, but it was not secured.
We entered the rooftop smoothly.
The view here was excellent.
One could clearly see every corner of the school.
I looked around and noticed that the cafeteria was located right in the center of the school.
To the east was the teaching building, and to the west was the dormitory.
To the south were the offices and the Laboratory Building.
To the north were the playground and the library.
The cafeteria, positioned centrally, served as an important passage connecting all areas.
Thus, during meal times, it would be bustling with people, very lively.
Choosing to commit murder in such a crowded place seemed like a deliberate attempt to let more people witness it.
Thinking this, I couldn't help but glance back at Officer Li.
He seemed to share the same doubts.
After our eyes met, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why do it here?"
I replied slowly, "Perhaps she wants more people to see."
Officer Li squinted and said, "Or does she have other intentions?"
After leaving the cafeteria, Officer Li found her homeroom teacher.
The teacher's name was Chen Peng, and he was also a math teacher at Liren Middle School.
He was called in by the police to assist with the investigation, initially thinking he had done something wrong.
However, Officer Li directly inquired about Qin Feng.
This took him by surprise.
Officer Li asked straightforwardly, "How does Qin Feng perform in class?"
Chen Peng considered his words carefully and replied, "Qin Feng has excellent grades, a quiet personality, and gets along well with classmates."
