Chu Yi, accompanied by Xiao Sun, approached an iron door. The resident was named Li Suowen. The corridor was dark, filled with a damp, garbage-like stench, and homeless spirits seemed to wander aimlessly. A buzzing sound filled the air, suggesting that their footsteps had startled countless flies that were napping nearby.
Earlier that morning, Chu Yi had advised Xiao Sun, who was still struggling to find clues in Jiang Weiting's novel, to put down the book and make a phone call to inquire about Jiang Weiting's father, Jiang Deming's school teacher. Perhaps some leads could be found there.
Around ten o'clock, Xiao Sun knocked on his office door with a beaming face. He had discovered that Jiang Deming's closest friend from school was named Li Quyuan, who had been assigned to teach music at a local elementary school after graduation. Xiao Sun then called the school and learned that Li Quyuan had passed away; however, his son, Li Suowen, still lived in the house provided to Li Quyuan by the school.
Things began to take shape.
Xiao Sun knocked several times on the door but received no response. It was possible that Li Suowen was not home.
As autumn approached and the weather turned cooler, there were still plenty of flies buzzing around. Xiao Sun decided to knock on the door of the neighboring apartment. After a long wait, the neighbor finally opened the door and casually remarked, "Li Suowen? I haven't seen his lights on for several days."
This raised alarm bells for Chu Yi; his instincts told him something was wrong.
When they finally pried open Li Suowen's door, they shouted in horror and hurriedly opened all the windows. Xiao Sun rushed into the kitchen to turn off the gas.
In the bedroom, they found Li Suowen lying on the bed—already dead. A swarm of flies immediately rushed in through the window, circling around the body. Beside Li Suowen's pillow lay a bracelet—an emerald silver bangle.
The autopsy results indicated that Li Suowen had died from carbon monoxide poisoning. The time of death was determined to be 48 hours before Jiang Weiting's own demise.
Officer Zuo Xiao Zhi was full of energy. When Chu Yi and the others returned to the police station after handling Li Suowen's scene, Zuo Xiao Zhi was already waiting for them and brought along a witness—a neighbor of Jiang Weiting.
According to this neighbor, a man frequently visited Jiang Weiting; he appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, thin, and had a rather dark complexion.
