Hearing Ke Yuting explain why Xu Hui had gone to that hotel left a bitter feeling inside me.
Song Xiaotian lowered his head too and drew a deep breath.
Something must have happened to Xu Hui after she went to the hotel.
But all she had wanted was a nice meal.

"If something really happened to Xu Hui at the hotel, there's no way the police couldn't find out who killed her with the investigative methods they have..."
Suppose Xu Hui had been sexually assaulted that night.
