Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 319: Some clues

Chu Tian sat there in silence, the news of Su Mei's death weighing on him like a huge rock. He tried to recall every detail of his time with Su Mei, the amazement when they first met, the sweetness when they were in love, the anger when they quarreled, and her cold eyes at the end... Everything flashed through his mind like a movie clip, but finally froze on her lifeless face.

"Why did Su Mei do this?" Chu Tian muttered to himself, his voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.

Officer Li handed him a glass of water and said, "Drink some water and calm down. Now we need to find the real murderer."

Chu Tian mechanically took the water cup, but couldn't drink a single sip. The real murderer... Was it really a lie made up by Su Mei to cover up the truth?

"Su Mei said that Su Qing's death was not an accident." Chu Tian recalled what Su Mei had said, "She said that she saw with her own eyes that someone had poisoned Su Qing's medicine."

"Did she say who it was?" Officer Li asked.

Chu Tian shook his head. "No, she just said that the man was wearing a mask and a hat, so she couldn't see his face. She was so scared at the time that she hid in the closet and didn't dare to come out. She didn't dare to call the police until the man left."

Officer Li pondered for a moment and said, "So, Su Mei should have some clues, but she has never said it."

"Maybe..." Chu Tian suddenly thought of something, "Su Mei's diary! She has the habit of writing a diary, maybe there will be some clues in it."

Officer Li's eyes lit up. "Good idea! Where is the diary?"

"At her house. I'll take you there." Chu Tian stood up and staggered out of the hospital with Officer Li.

Su Mei's apartment is located in a high-end residential area in the city center. The room is decorated simply and warmly, and the exquisiteness and taste of women can be seen everywhere. Chu Tian took Officer Li to Su Mei's bedroom and found her diary.

The diary was pink with a blooming rose printed on it. Officer Li carefully opened the diary and read it carefully page by page.

The diary records Su Mei's daily life and her love-hate relationship with Chu Tian. She wrote that she hated Chu Tian for taking risks for money and killing her sister, but she also loved Chu Tian and could not forget the happy times she had with him.

As Officer Li flipped through the diary, a name appeared repeatedly - Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was Su Mei and Su Qing's college classmate, and also Su Qing's ex-boyfriend. The diary records Lin Feng's pursuit of Su Qing and Su Qing's rejection of him. Su Mei had tried many times to persuade Su Qing to accept Lin Feng, but Su Qing never agreed.

"Lin Feng..." Chu Tian read the name, and a tall and handsome figure appeared in his mind. He vaguely remembered that he had seen Lin Feng at Su Qing's funeral. At that time, he looked sad and his eyes were full of pain.

"It seems that we need to talk to this Lin Feng." Officer Li closed the diary, a gleam in his eyes.

Through the police investigation, they soon found Lin Feng. Lin Feng admitted that he had always loved Su Qing, but Su Qing chose Chu Tian. He could not accept this fact, so he resented Chu Tian.

"I admit that I hate Chu Tian, ​​but I didn't kill Su Qing." Lin Feng said excitedly, "Su Qing's death has nothing to do with me!"

"Then why did you poison Su Qing's medicine?" Officer Li asked sternly.

Lin Feng was stunned, his eyes flickering, "I...I didn't..."

"We have found evidence. Your fingerprint is on the poison bottle." Officer Li took out an evidence bag containing an empty medicine bottle.

Lin Feng slumped down in the chair, he knew he was finished.

"I... I just wanted to scare Chu Tian and make him leave Su Qing. I didn't expect... I didn't expect Su Qing would really... really..." Lin Feng choked and could no longer speak.

The truth finally came out. Lin Feng murdered Su Qing out of jealousy and resentment. In order to protect Lin Feng and to avenge Chu Tian, ​​Su Mei pushed all the blame onto Chu Tian.

Chu Tian felt mixed emotions. He had never thought that Su Mei would sacrifice her life for a man who did not love her. He had never thought that Su Qing's death was due to such a ridiculous reason.

Officer Li patted Chu Tian on the shoulder and said, "It's over now. I'm sorry for the loss."

Chu Tian nodded silently. He looked up at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling lost. He had lost his lover and his friends, and he didn't know where to go next.

Suddenly, Chu Tian remembered a sentence in Su Mei's diary: "If one day I am gone, please take good care of my cat for me."

Su Mei raised a white Persian cat named Snowball. Chu Tian used to like this cat very much and often played with it.

Chu Tian stood up and left the police station. He wanted to find Xueqiu and fulfill Su Mei's last wish.

He arrived at Su Mei's apartment and opened the door, only to find the room in a mess, as if someone had rummaged through it. Snowball was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Tian had an ominous premonition in his heart...

Chu Tian's heart suddenly contracted, and an ominous premonition enveloped him. The room was in a mess, drawers were opened, and clothes were scattered all over the floor. It was obvious that someone had deliberately searched through it. Xueqiu usually liked to curl up on the sofa to bask in the sun, but now, the sofa was empty, with only a few white cat hairs floating in the air.

"Snowball..." Chu Tian called out in a low voice, his voice trembling. He searched almost the entire apartment, every corner, every cabinet, but there was no trace of Snowball.

Chu Tian sat on the ground dejectedly, covering his face with his hands, and took a deep breath. Su Mei was gone, and now even Xueqiu was gone. He felt abandoned by the whole world.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a piece of paper on the coffee table. The paper was very small, as if it was torn from a notebook. Chu Tian picked up the paper, and there was only an address written on it: Abandoned Factory in the South of the City.

Abandoned factory in the south of the city? Chu Tian frowned, puzzled. Why would Su Mei go there? Would Xueqiu be there?

A feeling of uneasiness spread in Chu Tian's heart. He felt that there was some secret hidden behind this, a secret related to Su Mei's death, Xueqiu's disappearance, and even Su Qing's death.

He rushed out of the apartment without hesitation and ran towards the abandoned factory in the south of the city.

As night fell, the abandoned factory in the south of the city was shrouded in darkness. The dilapidated factory building and the rusty iron gate looked particularly eerie in the night.

Chu Tian took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the factory.

"Squeak-"

The harsh sound of the door opening seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.

The inside of the factory was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight shining through the broken windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
