The motive force in entrance is certainly one of Yin Ziqi’s trusted workers. So the 2 of them can discuss freely.

The forensic information exhibits that Wang Wan Wei ’s time of dying on that day is between 2-3am.  So this final put up is written 2 hours earlier than she died.  

“It’s been six month since my final put up.  

Nothing has come proper for me on this final six months.  I fell right into a low life, a darkish, chilly and soiled place. These issues, I don’t need to document on my weblog.  This can be a clear area.
