Qi Ling questioned around and recorded everything, feeling that the perpetrator was likely not Qi Fangfang.
As for Qi Shuli, who had opposed Village Chief Qi's decision, although he had a motive, there was no evidence, so Qi Ling couldn't say much.
Qi Ling returned to Second Leprosy's house once more and searched again, hoping to find some evidence.
The house was dilapidated, yielding no results.
Qi Ling wandered around the yard and noticed some scraps of paper, torn into tiny pieces, on the inside of the gate!
Qi Ling picked them up and discovered that there were words written in fountain pen on the paper.
Qi Ling and two colleagues gathered all the scraps of paper on the ground, and had one of the policemen piece them together to see what was written!
Although incomplete, Qi Ling could tell it was a note asking Second Leprosy to go out.
