The woman spoke carefully, not wanting to miss a single detail, while Lan Sizhui and his group listened intently, quickly sifting through the information for anything useful. Once she finished, Lan Sizhui asked:
"Do you happen to remember what color clothes Qingqing was wearing when the incident occurred? Also, is there a close friend of hers next door whom we might speak with to learn more about the details?"
"Qingqing loved red," the woman replied. "We just had a new dress made for her coming-of-age ceremony, and she was wearing that exact red skirt on the day it happened. As for the neighbor girl, seeing her won't help you. The night Qingqing met with disaster, that girl came down with a high fever and didn't wake until the third day. She recovered, but she's forgotten everything that happened that day."
