The criminal murder involved in this case was what Law Enforcement had defined as criminal murder.
Based on the specifics of the case...
Although this case involved circumstances and elements of murder, classifying it as a passion crime would have been more reasonable.
Why was that?
Because in this case, the suspect and the victim had been relatively close.
And judging by Law Enforcement's accusations, Su Bai could not see the suspect's criminal objective.
Or rather, he could not see that the suspect had intended to commit murder.
The suspect and the victim had been a couple.
They were university classmates, and both were currently sophomores.
Their relationship had always been very good.
They had also frequently arranged to go out together.
In this case, the man, who was the suspect, had gotten into a major conflict with the victim on the day of the incident.
They had argued fiercely and talked about breaking up.
Afterward, the victim had been killed.
The specific sequence of events was that, because the man and the woman had been fighting over breaking up,
he had wanted to ease the major conflict and disagreement that had erupted between them.
The man had proposed meeting the woman and arranged a location.
Then, at their agreed meeting place, the woman had been killed.
Su Bai took a quick look through the details.
The man stated that he had never seen the woman at their agreed meeting place.
Much less could he have killed her.
Besides...
He and the woman had been very close and on excellent terms. He had absolutely no reason to kill her.
At the time, he had only arranged to meet her at a certain location to ease their conflict.
He had never expected something like this to happen...
