“Do you still think we’re NPCs at the secret escape room?” Yin Tao smiled. Looking at the two young people in front of her, she felt that it was such a coincidence.

“We thought you were murderers…” Before the boy could finish speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong. Chen Ying, who was beside him, gently pulled his sleeve.

“I’m sorry, we did misunderstand your identities. Teacher Wu told me just now that the police from the branch wanted to ask me some questions.”

Although Chen Ying appeared timid, her reaction was quite fast. At the very least, she was much better than her boyfriend, who was still puzzled.

“It’s fine. You don’t have to be nervous. Actually, we’re not asking you questions. We’re just here for a casual chat.”

Feng Jing pointed at the seats not far away and gestured for them to sit down. The two young people sat opposite Feng Jing obediently. However, they still looked nervous and uneasy.

“Sister, are you really a forensic doctor?” After Chen Ying sat down, she kept stealing glances at Yin Tao. She couldn’t help but ask her.

“That’s right. Didn’t I tell you guys in the secret escape room?” Yin Tao smiled at Chen Ying in a friendly manner. Her expression finally relaxed a little.

“That’s cool! To think that there is such a beautiful forensic doctor like you, and you look even younger than us.” When the buzz cut boy heard Yin Tao confirm her profession again, he couldn’t help but sigh loudly.

“Don’t worry, you should indeed call me big sister.” Yin Tao tried her best to cozy up to the two students so that they could relax a little.

“Sister, is your job tough? There aren’t many young forensic doctors like you, correct?”

“Sister, you must be very bold. Are you not afraid when you watch horror movies?”

Chen Ying and her boyfriend seemed to be at ease and started asking Yin Tao questions. Yin Tao also tried her best to answer their questions. In the end, Feng Jing had to feign a few coughs to calm them down.

“Students, you should put aside your curiosity for now. Let’s talk about Liu Jing.” Feng Jing looked at the two of them, who were gradually relaxing, and began to ask questions related to Liu Jing.

“Chen Ying, you and Liu Jing are roommates. 1 heard from the other students in your dormitory that you are the closest with Liu Jing?”

Hearing Feng Jing’s question, Chen Ying nodded without hesitation. She didn’t seem to have any intentions of hiding the fact that she was more familiar with Liu Jing.

“Liu Jing and I are from the same hometown. We both came from the same high school, and we both live in the capital.”

Yin Tao didn’t expect that Liu Jing and Chen Ying were actually high school classmates. This was undoubtedly an even greater help in understanding Liu Jing.

“Were you friends since high school?” Feng Jing took out her phone and continued to ask as she got ready to make recordings.

“No, we’re just from the same school. We weren’t in the same class. 1 didn’t know her very well at that time.” Chen Ying shook her head and added, “However, Liu Jing was the school belle in our high school, so I had an impression of her. She’s very introverted. She wouldn’t have been especially conspicuous if not for the fact that she was pretty.”

When Yin Tao thought of Liu Jing’s appearance, she would associate her with Cheng Yao. She felt they had a 70% to 80% similarity. Yin Tao had always thought that Liang Yi and Liu Jing’s interactions would have something to do with her similarity in appearance to Cheng Yao. However, Yin Tao couldn’t be sure of the exact reason.

“Your high school classmates have such poor taste. You’re clearly the prettier one.” Chen Ying’s boyfriend looked especially serious, making Yin Tao laugh.

“Shut up.” Noticing Yin Tao’s smile, Chen Ying said to her boyfriend in embarrassment, “Liu Jing is clearly the prettier one. Even my university classmates think so.”

“You think that Liu Jing is more introverted, but do you know if she has any friends other than you?” Feng Jing was more concerned about Liu Jing’s usual interpersonal relationships because it was impossible to find out Liu Jing’s specific social network based on the records in the file.

“I don’t think she has many friends, but I can’t be sure because she spends a lot of time outside school. I’m not sure how many people she has interacted with,” Chen Ying answered cautiously, afraid that she would say something wrong that would affect the police’s judgment.

“What was she doing outside school? Wasn’t she unsociable?” Yin Tao felt that Liu Jing must have some secrets. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly disappeared for no reason.

“Working part-time.. Her family background isn’t very good, and…”
