Xiao Zhan was sitting in a care room guarded by the armed police. On the bed covered with the white sheet, there was Wan Zhao Ying laid down motionlessly. The IV wires and ECG wires tangled and attached to her body.

"Mother... You hate me for being a gay and vented it to an innocent boy whom I love. I understand if you are disappoint and angry with me. But it wasn't a correct way for you to make him suffer from your anger. I'm not happy to see your condition like this,but I feel relief that my baby escape from the death because of your hatred. I never thought that you are a cold blooded woman who can kill easily. Why do you change, Mother...?" Xiao Zhan stroked her hand gently.

"Sir?" An officer came into the room.

Xiao Zhan turned, then nodded. He got up. After he took a last glance at his mother, he walked out of the room, followed by the officer. Outside Det. Luo was waiting for him. He walked up to him.

"Don't tell to the public that my mother is still alive for this moment. And keep secret about the culprit who shot my mother. I don't want Yibo to get worry and scared. I worry if he knows about this, his trauma won't heal fast." Xiao Zhan told the detective.

Det. Luo nodded.

"I found something in the crime scene.." said Det. Luo.

"What's that?" Xiao Zhan got allert.

Det. Luo took out a small ziplock bag from his coat's pocket. Xiao Zhan took it and observed the tiny thing inside it.

"Zipper?" Xiao Zhan looked at Det. Luo who nodded his head.

"From its size and material,, the zipper seemed belongs to a blouse. Wether it's male's or female's, we still need to find out, because there ste a lot male's wearing blouses nowadays..,!"

"But the blouses that the males wear mostly are oversize snd loose ones. Do you think if the murder is a he, will wearing the blouse when he is gonna to shoot somebody in purpose and secretly? I think they will wear something that simple and wont flying around like an oversize blouse which usually made from the floating material. And from the design of the zipper itself, it's too feminist for male...!"

"So.... Do you think the shooter is a female?"

"My guess, yes. That's the most possiblity to me!"

Xiao Zhan gave the evident prove back to the detective.

"I think there is someone who has a grudge toward your mother. No matter who they are, they a good shooter. She got shot from the back and missed a few mm only from her heart, while another one only to shoot her leg..!"

"They didn't expect to hurt Yibo..." Xiao Zhan muttered, unconciously.

"Do you think the suspect knows Yibo?" The detective gazed at him.

Xiao Zhan flinched.

"I'm not sure about that...!" Xiao Zhan flustered.

"By the way, Ms. Wu is sent to the mental rehabilitation. She's not a suspect at all. There is no finger print of her on the trigger or the butt of the gun. She didn't have any gloves with her when we caught her. She has no history about shooting, too. We need to treat his mental amd get back to normal, so we can break this puzzle..!" The detective said.

Xiao Zhan let out a long sigh.

"I need to go to see my father in the hospital, Detective! I'll see you around!" Xiao Zhan excused himself.

"Sure, Mr. Xiao!" Replied Det. Luo.

Then Xiao Zhan walked away, leaving the Force's hospital.
