The congregation had gathered downstairs in the cathedral, and the police were questioning them one by one. "What do you do between the hours of six and six-thirty?"

The clerk, named Wang Chong, replied, "I was supposed to be drinking and watching the sunset on the fifth-floor balcony with Tonga and Li Yu."

"Anyone testify to that?"

"Tonga and Li Yu."

"Besides the two of them?"

"No more." The clerk was starting to get a little nervous in the face of the police's step-by-step questioning.

And then the police questioned Tonga and Li Yu. The three confessions were consistent and there was no doubt. In addition, sixteen of the remaining eighteen staff members were celebrating on the third floor during that time period. Some were dancing to the music, some were enjoying the food at the tables, and some were chatting away. That left only two employees.

"What's your name? What were you doing between six and six-thirty?"

"My name is Zhang Tianze, I was a bit tired during that time before six o'clock, so I was resting in the room on the second floor. At that time, Ting Xue was also a bit dizzy, so I helped her from the third floor to the second floor to change the atmosphere." That man who was the first to ask about the deceased's condition earlier was comforting Ting Xue.

Obviously, such a stout man would never be made to have to rest by a little bit of alcohol. Then why would he say that?

It was then that Shu came back to his senses, and the crowd was not surprised by his answer.

"Oh, so the two of them are a couple. In other words, it wasn't Zhang Tianze who was tired. Rather, it was that woman called Tingxue who was tired, which is why he excused himself as wanting to go rest. Thus sending this girl who is as beautiful as the heavens back, truly a responsible person!" The priest rambled.

Shu on the side obviously didn't care much about the priest's words.

"What's your name? What were you doing between six and six-thirty?" A policewoman asked as she walked up to Shu.

"I ..." Shu paused, he didn't know how to answer, because since he was a child, he knew that his name was Shu, as for his last name? He didn't know it at all. As far as he could remember, his own parents called him that.

"You can just call him Shu." The priest on the side came over and accosted the female officer.

"And who are you?"

"I have no name, usually people call me by my professional name: priest."

"You, what were you doing between six and six-thirty?" The female officer obviously didn't trust the priest very much, but she understood that she wasn't allowed to outwardly reveal herself.

"I... I was at ...," the priest began to ramble on about what he was doing.

"Who owns this house?" The lead officer asked loudly.

Shu stood up his tired body and answered, "I am." "I'm Officer Yang, I want to ask something!" This person who called himself Officer Yang did seem to have some skills. He inquired about some of the details that Ah Shu had noticed.

"That's strange, didn't that priest say that he locked the door to the second floor, so why were the two people still able to come down to the second floor to rest?" Officer Yang pondered.

At this time, the policewoman finally got rid of the priest's "pestering", and the priest helplessly walked to Shu's side. When he heard the others' questioning, he just said carelessly, "That room 201 was rented a week ago by a lady named Yang. By the way! That lady and Ms. Ye, who called to contact me for a celebration party, sound very similar, almost identical."

Shu seemed to understand something, and he had no qualms about asking the woman named Ting Xue.

And the result was no surprise, that lady who booked the house and contacted to hold the celebration party was the same person and was Ye Tingxue's mother, and coming here to hold the celebration party was also suggested by her to Ye Tingxue.

Is all the mystery solved?
