Lawyer Liu submitted Qin Feng's retraction to the court.
However, there were significant issues regarding the evidence.
Qin Feng claimed that Wu Jiajia had instructed her verbally to commit murder.
Yet, there was no third party to corroborate this.
There were also no communication records to serve as evidence.
As a result, Officer Li decided to investigate Yao Qiang.
He aimed to find evidence that could prove Yao Xingqiang's involvement with Wu Jiajia.
During Officer Li's investigation of Yao Qiang, I did not accompany him.
I had developed an interest in Qin Feng's upbringing.
I suggested visiting Qin Feng's home for a closer look.
Officer Li agreed to my suggestion.
I arrived at Qin Feng's house alone.
The front door was tightly shut.
It seemed that Qin Feng's parents were not home.
I knocked on the door several times.
But no one responded.
I had to return empty-handed.
In the following days, I made several attempts to visit Qin Feng's home.
But I couldn't find anyone.
Until the eighth day.
I finally encountered Qin Feng's mother.
She looked unwell.
She hadn't gone to work.
After I revealed my identity, she began to cry.
She insisted that Qin Feng could never kill anyone.
Because he was a very kind child.
I wanted to tell her that Qin Feng might have killed because of Wu Jiajia's request.
But I ultimately held my tongue.
I was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept that truth.
I took the opportunity to comfort her, stating that Qin Feng's case was still under investigation.
Then, I suggested going to Qin Feng's room to take a look.
She agreed.
In Qin Feng's room, I discovered an astonishing secret.
Qin Feng's room was small.
Previously, she had lived there with her sister, Qin Man.
The room was filled with books.
There were also some old cloth dolls on the bedside.
It seemed that Qin Feng enjoyed reading a lot.
I casually browsed through the bookshelf.
Suddenly, a stack of books on the table caught my attention.
A corner of a photograph peeked out from the bottom of the stack.
It appeared to be a class photo.
Curiously, I pulled the books aside and retrieved the photograph.
I handed it to Qin Feng's mother and asked her which year it was from.
Qin Feng's mother glanced at it and said it was a photo of Qin Man.
I asked her if she could find a photo of Qin Man now.
Qin Feng's mother nodded.
Then she took the photo and pointed to the girl at the far end of the second row, saying, "That's Qin Man."
I leaned in closer and found that Qin Man was very beautiful.
Her demeanor was gentler than Qin Feng's.
I noticed that directly below Qin Man was the person sitting in the center of the first row.
To my astonishment, it was Qin Feng's homeroom teacher, Yao Qiang!
I was instantly shocked.
This was because Qin Feng had mentioned that she chose Liren Middle School because the school waived all her tuition fees.
Additionally, Yao Qiang, as a well-known teacher, could provide her with better educational opportunities.
It seemed that Qin Feng's admission to Liren Middle School was related to Yao Qiang.
Could it be that there had been a connection between Qin Feng and Yao Qiang all along?
I hurriedly asked Qin Feng's mother about Qin Man's situation.
Qin Feng's mother stated that Qin Man had gone missing seven years ago.
At that time, she was in her sophomore year.
She had reported to the police and searched many places, but she still couldn't find any trace of Qin Man.
However, she believed that Qin Man was still alive.
Just two months ago, she received a postcard from abroad.
It contained only a brief message: "Mom, I'm still alive."
There was no signature.
But I suspected it must have been sent by Qin Man.
Qin Feng's mother had always firmly believed that Qin Man was alive.
She just didn't understand why Qin Man had not contacted her.
I thought it might be because Qin Man encountered some difficulties abroad.
As a result, she found it inconvenient to reach out to her family.
Yet, I had a nagging feeling that things were not so simple.
What did this have to do with Qin Feng's murder case?
