The girl who walked in was tall, with a pure and beautiful appearance, wearing a split tight dress that perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure.

As she stepped into the conference room, her long legs peeked out with each step, catching everyone’s attention.

Song had never seen such a scene before and was momentarily stunned.

Ahem!

Experience counts for something; Zhang Hui wasn’t much affected and coughed slightly, snapping Song back to reality.

His face turned a little hot, but fortunately, Song had a dark complexion, so the redness wasn’t visible.

"Hello, officers. My name is Wang Lili. Director Chen just told me you want to know something about Qianqian. What’s happened to her? Is she in trouble?"

Zhang Hui nodded. He didn’t completely hide the fact that something had happened to Yang Qianqian from Wang Lili.

After all, if Wang Lili was indeed familiar with Yang Qianqian, the questions Zhang Hui asked would inevitably reveal that Yang Qianqian had already died.

"Yang Qianqian is dead."

Dead?

Wang Lili’s body suddenly stiffened, her face turned pale uncontrollably, and her expression was full of shock.

"Dead?"

"Are you saying... Qianqian... is dead?!"

"Yesterday noon we received a report. Yang Qianqian was found murdered in her rented apartment."

"This... how is it possible?!"

"We... we had dinner together just last week!"

Wang Lili’s expression was terrified, filled with disbelief.

"Miss Wang, the dead cannot return to life."

"Today, we want to understand some basic details about Yang Qianqian from you."

"For example, did Yang Qianqian have a boyfriend? Did she have any enemies or major financial disputes with anyone?"

"I just heard from Director Chen that you were the one who introduced Yang Qianqian to work here?"

Wang Lili seemed to have come to terms with the news of Yang Qianqian’s death, and her complexion slightly improved.

"Qianqian and I were college classmates and roommates; we’ve known each other for many years."

Zhang Hui thought to himself, this is promising!

Since Wang Lili was Yang Qianqian’s college classmate and roommate, she was likely familiar with Yang Qianqian’s circumstances.

"Qianqian had a good personality, never quarreled with anyone, and was very popular in college. After we graduated, since our major was not very promising, we couldn’t find a job, so I started working as a part-time model."

"I found this industry quite lucrative, so I got Qianqian to do part-time modeling as well."

"As for boyfriends, she got into a relationship after starting work but broke up three months ago."

Three months ago?

"Do you know his name and why they broke up?"

"Her boyfriend’s name is Zhao Zhijun. I have his WeChat and contact information."

"I was the one who advised the breakup. That Zhao Zhijun is nothing good."

Indeed, a good friend.

"He’s lazy and often gambles. The money Qianqian earned in recent years was taken by him."

"If things went on like this, Qianqian would eventually be ruined by him. So, I persuaded them to break up at that time."

"Moreover, it ended on a very sour note. Zhao Zhijun initially disagreed with breaking up and often caused a scene at Qianqian’s ad shoots. He eventually agreed to break up after extorting 30,000 yuan from Qianqian."

Zhao Zhijun!

After getting Zhao Zhijun’s contact information from Wang Lili, Zhang Hui continued his inquiries.

"Miss Wang, do you know if Yang Qianqian had any other financial disputes with anyone?"

"I don’t think so, right?"

Wang Lili thought for a moment: "Qianqian and I were alike; our parents divorced when we were young, and we grew up with our grandparents. Her grandparents also passed away two years ago."

"Usually, it’s just us classmates meeting frequently. As for other matters... Qianqian was easygoing and didn’t spend money recklessly, so it’s less likely for her to have economic disputes with others."

Zhang Hui inquired while Song took notes.

"Miss Wang, I just heard you say you had dinner with Yang Qianqian last week. Do you remember the specific time and place?"

"Just last Monday evening, I had dinner with Qianqian at Haidilao on Peace North Road."

"Here are the photos we took together from last week."

With that, Wang Lili pulled out the photos on her phone and handed them to Zhang Hui.

Hmm?

Zhang Hui looked at the photos and was instantly stunned.

The two faces in the phone photos looked astonishingly alike.

"You... and Yang Qianqian look so similar?"

Wang Lili took back her phone: "Yes, we looked quite similar since college, so we got along well. After graduation, we had some minor plastic surgery to work as models."

Wang Lili was candid about the plastic surgery.

"That’s why we look so similar now."

Buzz Buzz.

Just then, Wang Lili’s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID before quickly answering.

"Honey? You’re here?"

"Mm-hmm... I’m at the office. Okay, I’ll head to the parking garage right away. Wait for me..."

After hanging up, Wang Lili looked a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Zhang Hui.

"Officer Zhang, I’m sorry, my boyfriend came to pick me up. Is there anything else you need? If not, I’ll be going now."

Zhang Hui waved his hand: "Thank you, Miss Wang. If we need further information, I’ll give you a call."

"Okay. Qianqian was my college classmate and my best friend. Now that she’s dead, I urge you to solve the case quickly."

"If you need my help with anything, feel free to call me anytime."

After leaving Aiguo Cultural Media, Zhang Hui and Song drove back to the Criminal Investigation Team.

"Brother Hui, I think the Zhao Zhijun that Wang Lili mentioned is indeed Yang Qianqian’s ex-boyfriend and a prime suspect."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"It must be for the money. Wang Lili said Zhao Zhijun likes gambling. If he’s out of money, it’s highly possible he went to Yang Qianqian, leading to a conflict between them, and Zhao Zhijun might have killed Yang Qianqian."

"Also, we didn’t find any cash in Yang Qianqian’s house."

"Her bank card money has also been withdrawn, suggesting a strong likelihood of robbery and murder."

This was just confirmed.

Another team from Unit Two checked Yang Qianqian’s bank transfer records and found that between last Wednesday to Friday, the 120,000 yuan in her account was withdrawn from various ATMs.

However, according to the conclusion from Crime Scene Investigation, Yang Qianqian’s time of death should be Wednesday last week.

So, who withdrew Yang Qianqian’s money?

"Let’s head back to the team to understand the situation. The ATM surveillance footage is being retrieved. Let’s see if we can find anything."

The information Wang Lili provided was crucial; Zhao Zhijun is indeed a primary suspect.

Or, given the current circumstances, Zhao Zhijun has the motive for murder.
