Chapter 18: The Way You Are
When Shuqing arrived at the scene of the incident, she was surrounded by police with a cordon tape, and she stood in the crowd and watched Zhu Hui, who had been covered with a white cloth.
The people next to him discussed. A somewhat stocky man said to the woman next to him, "Look, I said she wouldn't live long, how can a woman do without a man." Sooner or later, I won't be able to think about it. The woman pandered, "Is it suicide?" "Of course it's suicide, and this looks like she's jumping off a building! Could it be that someone is pushing her!" "The protective fence of the balcony is so high, how can she fall down if she doesn't want to jump down." "Hey, I've jumped off a lot of buildings recently, and yesterday I watched "Everyday 630" and a man jumped into the river, why do you say you can't think about it so much at such a young age. ”
Shuqing gently pushed the man and woman who were talking, and took two steps forward, she wanted to see if she could see her face, but she still couldn't see Zhu Hui's broken brain, only her somewhat bruised feet, and a slipper on one foot. How can there be a circle of bruises, her toes are pointing down, the soles of her feet are slightly skimmed to the sides, she is lying on her stomach, but how can there be bruises on her feet, even if she falls down, she will not fall into a circle of bruises, but the bruises on Zhu Hui's ankles are very strange, although the bruises are not very obvious, but they still did not escape Shuqing's sharp eyes, Zhu Hui's feet seem to have been trapped by something. Shuqing looked at Zhu Hui's feet intently, and then looked up at the balcony where Zhu Hui fell, Zhu Hui lived on the 10th floor, which was the top floor, although it was a little high, it was still vaguely visible that there were several pots of moon flowers on the balcony that had been overturned, and there were ...... Wait a minute. "It's not suicide. A voice sounded in Shuqing's heart, and many years of on-site investigation experience when she was young made Shuqing wonder in her heart. She withdrew from the crowd and found Aunt Xia.
"Sister Xia, can we go upstairs and have a look?" Shuqing said.
"Why?" Aunt Xia looked at Shuqing in surprise, "It's not lucky to go to a dead man's house." Let's not go. Aunt Xia took Shuqing's hand and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Sister Xia, listen to me -- why did Zhu Hui suddenly jump off the building by herself? You have known her for so many years, do you think she would jump off the building?"
Aunt Xia looked at Zhu Hui's corpse, shook her head, and said, "I'm very surprised, she is usually very cheerful, and when her man died, I didn't see her abuse herself, but ......"
"Sister Xia, I don't think Zhu Hui committed suicide. So, I want to go upstairs to see ......."
"What are you talking about? Don't be stupid, you're not a detective or a policeman, let's go, let's go!" Aunt Xia stared at Shuqing like a monster. She began to regret hosting the old woman.
"Sister Xia, listen to me, you know that since He Jun's death, I have been single, and I have no friends, I have been living alone for so many years, to be honest, my days are a little lonely, and a little lonely, everyone thinks I am a weird old woman, maybe it is because of the long time I have been alone that my observation has become very keen, you know that I am retired from the Public Security Bureau. ”
"But you're retired!"
"What if Zhu Hui was really pushed down?" Shuqing tried to arouse Aunt Xia's sympathy, she knew that Aunt Xia was terrified.
"Who's going to push her? She has no enemies in town. ”
"Let's go and see, maybe we have the answer, aren't you curious?"
"I saw that the police had just gone up. ”
"That's right, we don't have to find a way to open the door. Let's go, they won't pay attention to the two old women. It's just that when we are watching the excitement, the police in this kind of case are just putting on a show and going through the process. ”
As soon as they reached the door, they bumped into a man in uniform.
"Aunt Xia, what are you doing here?" called the young man in uniform.
"Ouch, it's Xiao He. Hey, I'll take a look, what a poor man. Aunt Xia said, she rubbed her hands nervously, like a child who had done something bad.
"Oh, look, there's nothing to see. You see that's where she jumped. The uniformed guy pointed to the balcony. "I'm only in my forties, and I still have so much money in the bank, why can't I think about it. He said as he pulled back the cordon at the door.
"It's Li Qing's son. Aunt Xia whispered to Shuqing.
Li Qing, Shuqing, and Aunt Xia are from the same village, and they used to take care of each other when they were busy with farm work, and later Li Qing's house was occupied by the government when the highway was expanded, so they moved to the town, but his son Li He often followed Li Qing back to the village to visit the door, and he was more familiar with Aunt Xia.
"Oh, oh. Thank you for letting us in, Xiao He. Shuqing smiled at Xiao He.
"I'll just take a look here, you go. I'll wait for you. Aunt Xia shook her head, unwilling to step into Zhu Hui's house for half a step.
There were a lot of people crowded at the door of Zhu Hui's house to see the excitement, except for Xiao He who was guarding the door, there were two policemen in the house talking about something, Shuqing first went to look at Zhu Hui's bedroom, and then quietly walked to the edge of the balcony, she observed carefully. Flower pots, plants, racks for drying clothes, hooks and stools on the balcony...... Wait, what's that little white thing under the stool. She walked over and bent down to pick it up, and it was a picture with the words "The way you are" written on the back. ”
