Ji Feng said, "Ms. Yu, perhaps you don''t know, but now the police database is connected with social security and medical insurance. I''ve checked your past. You started working as a real estate agent back in 2002 and 2003."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"That''s right," Yu Can nodded. "My family was poor, and I had younger siblings. I started working at 18. With my limited education, I couldn''t find office work, so I became a real estate agent.

There were no houses near the carport, but at this twilight hour, the uncles and aunties from the neighborhood would be out for their evening stroll.

She continued: "In the Li Xiaonuan case, you checked the weather forecast and chose to buy lunch and visit her on the 17th.

"You had ridden in his car before, which is when you picked up the wood shavings. You specifically chose him as a scapegoat, probably because you knew he wore size 40 shoes.

"You arranged to meet Shi Zhaozhao a day in advance, had her eat a drugged sandwich and milk tea, killed her after she fell unconscious, then hid her body in a cold environment to confuse the time of death.
