The Case of Love

Chapter 17 Her Regret
With this question in mind, Zhou Yifeng asked Zhu Xiaofeng to send Huang Anran to the detention center and call Zhou Anqi, who was already waiting outside, to the interrogation room.

Looking at Huang Anran coming out of the interrogation room, Zhou Anqi became more certain of her judgment that Lu Ying's death was related to him.

Huang Anran kept his head down, like an unconscious puppet, and let Zhu Xiaofeng take him away.

Zhou Anqi entered the interrogation room and sat where Huang Anran had just sat.

"Zhou Anqi, I believe you already know why we called you here. Tell me, why did Huang Anran give you 50,000 yuan? Did you do anything for him?" Su Xiaohan asked sternly.

"I...I..." Although she was mentally prepared, Zhou Anqi was still very nervous facing Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan who were wearing police uniforms opposite her.

"Zhou Anqi, if you don't tell us, we will tell us for you. But the nature of the matter will be different." Su Xiaohan urged.

"I'm telling you, I'm telling you! Lu Ying wrote a poem a few days ago. I read it and felt like she was going to commit suicide. I was anxious, so I went to find Huang Anran. Huang Anran said he would definitely coax her and told me not to worry. Later, he called me and asked me to find the poem written by Lu Ying and put it in her schoolbag. I asked her why she did that, but she didn't say anything. She just told me to do as he said and that he would give me benefits later. He also repeatedly emphasized that I must not tell others what he asked me to do. I knew he had money, so I gave him my bank card number, but I didn't take it seriously. I thought he was just teasing me. I didn't expect him to really transfer money to me." After saying that, Zhou Anqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you ever thought about why Huang Anran asked you to do this?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"I didn't think about it too much at the time, but when I found out that Lu Ying had died the night before yesterday, I began to suspect that Lu Ying's death was not simple, and I also began to suspect Huang Anran. I think when you see the poem Lu Ying wrote, most of you will think that she committed suicide. Maybe this is Huang Anran's purpose." Zhou Anqi glanced at Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan timidly, then looked away.

"You're smart. You can figure it out! Huang Anran asked you to put Lu Ying's poem in her schoolbag so that after Lu Ying's death, when we check Lu Ying's belongings, we will find this poem and then classify her death as suicide by poisoning. He also created the illusion that Lu Ying was heartbroken after the breakup, making us think that Lu Ying chose to commit suicide because she couldn't stand the stimulation of the breakup. But he never expected that not only Lu Ying died, but Lu Ying's two roommates also died. This gives us enough reason to suspect that this is not a suicide, but someone poisoned her!" Su Xiaohan said as she looked at Zhou Anqi. She saw deep regret on her face.

"It's all my fault! If I hadn't told Huang Anran that Lu Ying was in a bad mood, Huang Anran wouldn't have gone to find her and wouldn't have had the chance to poison her. It's all my fault!" Zhou Anqi became more and more excited as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.

In the past two days after Lu Ying and the other two got into trouble, Zhou Anqi thought a lot. She knew Lu Ying's personality and felt that even if she was in a bad mood, she would at most write something to vent her feelings, and she would not take such an extreme way to commit suicide, not to mention Zeng Lan and Li Danxin. The two of them were like the happy fruit in the dormitory, heartless, and it was even more impossible for them to commit suicide by taking poison. Thinking of what Huang Anran asked her to do, although she was not very sure, she also felt that this matter was related to him.

But she didn't dare to tell the police, especially after Huang Anran gave her 50,000 yuan, until Li Zhisong and Xu Jungang found her and showed her the remittance records.

Seeing that Zhou Anqi really regretted it and was crying so sadly, Su Xiaohan couldn't bear it and handed her a tissue, "Wipe your tears! If you really feel sorry for your friend, tell us everything you know. There is another question, maybe you can give us the answer."

Hearing this, Zhou Anqi wiped her tears and said with a smile, "Police sister, just ask me. As long as I know, I will tell you everything!"

"Huang Anran has admitted that he poisoned the water bottle that Lu Ying carried with her. Lu Ying was in the library at the time and had a water bottle with her but didn't drink the water. What happened?" Su Xiaohan thought that maybe Zhou Anqi would have a better understanding of the situation at the time.

Zhou Anqi thought for a while before saying, "I remember Lu Ying sent me a message the day before yesterday, saying that she met Huang Anran in the library, and she said she was not in the mood to read. I think she might have left the library and returned to the dormitory to avoid Huang Anran." "Well, that's possible." Zhou Yifeng agreed.

"The night before last, Lu Ying made rose water in the kettle. Does she have the habit of sharing rose water with the people in your dormitory?" Su Xiaohan wanted to verify her guess.

"Lu Ying makes this and drinks it almost every day, saying it can beautify the skin. After she's done, she puts the kettle on the table, and whoever of us three wants to drink can pour a cup for ourselves." Zhou Anqi replied.

Su Xiaohan turned to look at Zhou Yifeng, and they smiled at each other. This explained why Huang Anran poisoned Lu Ying and also poisoned Zeng Lan and Li Danxin.

The case is now clear, and Zhou Yifeng asks Li Zhisong to send Zhou Anqi back.

Watching her leaving, Su Xiaohan sighed, "If she had her heart set on it, she might have lived in self-blame. But she was lucky. If she hadn't gone home the night before, more than three people would have been poisoned."

"Yes, although she did not mean it, it was this unintentional act that made Huang Anran feel uneasy about Lu Ying and decided to kill her." Zhou Yifeng echoed.

No matter what, the case is closed. What awaits the 18-year-old Huang Anran will be legal sanctions.

After coming out of the interrogation room, the two returned to the office. The room was very lively. Li Zhisong and his friends were eating fruit. When they saw them come in, they waved and asked them to eat together.

Su Xiaohan walked closer and took a look. The cherries, grapes, mangoes, strawberries... were brightly colored and looked very fresh, and they were all her favorites.

"Senior Brother, did you go out to buy some fruit?" Su Xiaohan picked up a cherry, wiped it and put it in her mouth.

"You guessed wrong this time. I didn't buy it. Your brother Nanfeng gave it to me!" Li Zhisong said with a smile.

"My brother Nanfeng? Why is he here?" Su Xiaohan looked confused.

"Your brother Nanfeng didn't come. The food was delivered by the delivery guy. I saw 'Zhu Nanfeng' written on the delivery card. Then I thought, isn't that your brother Nanfeng? I remember he called you last night." Li Zhisong explained.

He guessed that Zhu Nanfeng must have a special relationship with Su Xiaohan, and it was definitely not as simple as what Su Xiaohan said, that they grew up together.

Su Xiaohan was about to send a WeChat message to Zhu Nanfeng to express her gratitude, when she saw his message on WeChat and looked at the time. It was sent by her in the interrogation room: "Xiaohan, I can't visit you because of something at the company. I bought you some fruit. You can eat it with your colleagues. Don't be too tired, take care of yourself!
