"Mm." Song Nian nodded. "What follows are some inferences I've made based on the clues left on the laptop. They may not be facts, but they should be quite close to the truth: At 12:25 AM on August 20th, while online, Xiao Wanshan received an email. Since Xiao Wanshan used Outlook to check her emails, she immediately knew when a new message arrived and opened it right away. I don't know the content of that email, but whatever it was, it terrified her so much that she screamed out loud. However, despite her attempt to release her fear through shouting, the shock she experienced exceeded her capacity for fear, and she was literally scared to death."
"…"
Seeing the surprised expression on Zou Xingjing's face, Song Nian thought he found her inference absurd and couldn't help but say, "Just let me finish."
"I'm listening."
Song Nian licked her lips and continued, "The email had an attachment. It was after opening that attachment that Xiao Wanshan encountered the horrifying content that scared her to death. Not only did the attachment contain terrifying material capable of frightening Xiao Wanshan, but it also carried a Trojan Virus. Once the attachment was opened and the horrifying content played through, the Trojan Virus activated automatically, deleting the attachment and preventing us from knowing its contents. At the same time it deleted the attachment, the Trojan Virus generated an image—the photo of the black cat's right front paw that appeared on the screen!"
"The attachment was deleted, but the email itself remained. The owner of the email that sent this message is someone named Yang Yanrong. You can investigate based on this clue. However, I don't know if Yang Yanrong is a real name; it's just how this email's owner is recorded in Xiao Wanshan's contact list."
Zou Xingjing exhaled deeply. "We've already checked; it's a real name—Yang Yanrong, twenty-six years old, head of the planning department at Wanshen Information Technology Co., Ltd."
"Ah?" Song Nian was a bit surprised. "I hadn't even mentioned my findings yet; how did you know to investigate Yang Yanrong?"
"Because this Yang Yanrong," Zou Xingjing inhaled deeply and said slowly, "has a motive to kill Xiao Wanshan!"
Upon hearing Zou Xingjing's words, Song Nian was taken aback and hadn't yet processed it when Zou Xingjing continued, "Now let me share our investigation results."
"You go ahead."
"Let's start with the cause of Xiao Wanshan's death. She had severe heart disease, and based on our deductions, she died from a heart attack triggered by extreme shock and fear."
"Really? That's the same conclusion I reached!" Song Nian exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes," Zou Xingjing nodded. "So when I heard you say that Xiao Wanshan might have been scared to death, I was taken aback because your deduction aligns with our investigation results."
"Mm." Song Nian steadied herself, licking her lips. "Please continue."
Zou Xingjing cleared her throat and continued, "Additionally, we found that among those connected to Xiao Wanshan, only one person clearly had a motive to kill her. That person is Yang Yanrong, a twenty-six-year-old supervisor in the planning department of Wanshen Information Technology Co., Ltd. Xiao Wanshan's current boyfriend is the same man who confirmed she was with him last night; he was previously Yang Yanrong's boyfriend. Xiao Wanshan took him away from Yang Yanrong! After losing her boyfriend, Yang Yanrong fell into despair and attempted suicide several times without success. Eventually, she channeled her heartbreak into resentment towards Xiao Wanshan!"
Upon hearing this, Song Nian gasped slightly and said, "The evidence and motive all point to the same person!"
"What do you mean?" Zou Xingjing asked urgently.
"It's that murder formula!" Song Nian realized her voice was trembling. "First, Shen Zhi was killed; her body had a black cat placed on it, and there was a lighter at the scene pointing to Wang Jian as the murderer, but Wang Jian had an alibi. Next, Wang Jian was killed; his body had the left front paw of a black cat on it, and there were hairs at the scene pointing to Xiao Wanshan as the murderer, but she also had an alibi. Now, Xiao Wanshan has been killed; near her body, there’s a laptop with an image of the right front paw of a black cat, and an email address on the notebook points to Yang Yanrong as the murderer. Yet Yang Yanrong can prove that she wasn't using the computer when that email was sent; she also has an alibi."
