A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

Qi Feng put Chen Liang's confession aside and picked up another document.

It is a survey report based on interviews with the surrounding neighbors.

According to Feng Qianqian's neighbors, the day she moved was quite a commotion, and almost everyone knew about it.

After all, she was a single woman with a lot of stuff. The moving company staff came and went for more than three hours, and her apartment practically took over the elevator.

But from that day on, no one ever saw Feng Qianqian again.

Everyone instinctively assumed that she had moved away.

Neighbors living downstairs and next door said they hadn't heard any strange noises in the past few days.

As for the upstairs apartment, that family moved out a long time ago, and it's been empty ever since.

The investigation report also mentioned the issue of fanatical fans.

This was confirmed by the neighbors.

Some neighbors even mentioned that Feng Qianqian went to the property management office in a huff to demand an explanation, accusing them of chaotic management and allowing just anyone to come upstairs.

At the time, many neighbors spoke up for her, after all, it would make anyone uneasy if a few strange men were to appear in their building all the time.

But the property management company also had a lot of grievances, saying they couldn't do anything about it.

This is a mixed-use apartment building. In addition to the permanent residents, many companies have rented offices here, and some even run tutoring and training classes.

With a large and diverse flow of people, they can't very well stop customers from entering.

In the end, the matter was dropped.

Qi Feng quickly flipped through the neighbors' investigation reports and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.

There weren't any particularly useful new clues, but it was confirmed once again that there were indeed obsessive fans continuing to harass the deceased.

This is a clear direction for the investigation.

He put down his neighbor's report and picked up the last one, an investigation report about the publishing house.

The result was similarly minimal.

The publishing house and Feng Qianqian have been working together for many years and have always had a good relationship.

They never owed Feng Qianqian a single penny in royalties. In fact, when Feng Qianqian was short of money for a down payment on a house, they made an exception and paid her a large sum of royalties in advance to help her through the difficult time.

From this perspective, there is no obvious conflict between Feng Qianqian and the publishing house.

The following information was also obtained from the publishing house, since this was the only publishing house Feng Qianqian signed with after entering the industry.

Feng Qianqian is a typical example of someone who became famous at a young age.

Her first crime novel, with its novel plot and unique writing style, immediately entered the bestseller list upon its release, making her an instant sensation and transforming her from an unknown newcomer into a celebrated genius female writer.

The film and television adaptation rights to the work were directly acquired and it was made into a TV series.

Following that, the second sequel, riding on the coattails of the first book, also became quite popular.

But starting with the third and fourth books, her career took a sharp downturn.

Sales were dismal, and reputation collapsed.

Suddenly, a flood of negative reports came in.

"The Fall of a Genius Female Writer," "Has Her Talent Runs Dry? Famous Female Writer Allegedly Ghost-Written by Her Father"...

Various eye-catching headlines appeared on major media outlets and self-media platforms.

Some former loyal readers have turned against her, leaving abusive comments on her social media, accusing her of prioritizing money over the content of her novels and focusing solely on publishing books to rake in profits, calling her greedy and unscrupulous.

Because of these events, Feng Qianqian poured all her heart and soul into her fifth novel, the one that is about to be released, hoping to reverse her reputation with this book. However, she also faced tremendous pressure as a result.

The report mentioned that in the period leading up to the book's release, she spent almost every day at the publishing house, either overseeing cover design in the design department or discussing promotional plans with her editors all night long.

It was during this period that her mental state deteriorated, and she was eventually diagnosed with moderate depression.

Qi Feng silently finished reading the last page and gently closed the document.

He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and a vague outline in his mind gradually became clear.

A woman who once stood at the peak, but fell to the bottom, and is now desperately trying to climb back up.

She was proud, sensitive, and desperately eager to prove herself.

Would someone like that commit suicide?

Qi Feng stood up, left the office, walked through the corridor, and came to the large office of the criminal investigation team on the same floor. He immediately saw Wu Di discussing the case with his colleagues.

"Digo".

Qi Feng walked over.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Wu Di stopped the discussion and looked at him.

"Where is the statement from Liu Shuang, Feng Qianqian's best friend?" Qi Feng asked bluntly.

"Oh, that's right. Liu Shuang was traveling out of town with her boyfriend before, right? After receiving our call and finding out about this, she was preparing to return immediately. But something unexpected happened; she lost her ID card and couldn't buy a train ticket, which delayed her for two days. Judging by the time, she should arrive today," Wu Di explained.

"Okay, Di-ge, once Liu Shuang gets back, please let me know that Feng Qianqian doesn't have a boyfriend and her parents are in another province. In the provincial capital, her closest friend is her best friend Liu Shuang. She might know some things we don't yet know."

"Don't worry, I'll call you as soon as they arrive," Wu Di replied immediately.

To his surprise, no sooner had he finished speaking than a young police officer hurriedly ran over from the doorway.

"Brother Di! The captain asked me to tell you!"

"Liu Shuang is back!"
