The man was quite impatient at first. After all, the air was already very stuffy after everyone crowded here. Hence, he was quite irritable when he was asked a question by some stranger.
It was probably because Yan had a sweet smile on her face. When he turned around, he saw a sweet-looking girl and a beautiful woman with a distant expression on her face. Hence, his attitude completely changed in that instant. He smiled when he looked at the two of them and explained patiently, “I’m not quite sure what happened, but I think someone died.”
“Someone died?” Yan inhaled sharply, shocked. After glancing at Han Muzi, Yan found that she didn’t look too good either.
“Can you tell us more about it?” Han Muzi asked after pursing her pale lips.
Seeing that a beautiful woman had asked him questions, the man nodded. “When we arrived, the police had already blocked this place, so we could only watch from a distance. When I arrived, there weren’t many people yet, and I heard from people that were already here that this person suddenly came here to take their own life. It was quite unexpected, and no one knows anything.”
Han Muzi didn’t know how to reply after hearing this as it sounded quite ridiculous.
“Suddenly came here to kill themself?” Yan’s mouth twitched a little and she hugged Han Muzi’s arm fearfully. “Why does this sound so off? Did you know that yesterday we received—”
“Thank you for letting us know about this.” Han Muzi suddenly interrupted Yan’s sentence and pulled her to turn around. “Let’s go back first. There are too many people here, so we can’t see anything anyway.”
Before Yan could react, Han Muzi dragged her back.
After entering the elevator, Yan couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly interrupt me? Do you think that this person’s death is related to our rabbit?”
“I don’t know.” Han Muzi shook her head with an indifferent expression on her face. “However, the fewer people know about this, the better.”
After all, no one would give them a dead rabbit for nothing. Something strange had just happened last night, and just the next morning, someone had taken their own life.
Those two matters seemed to be unrelated to each other, but the issue didn’t seem to be that simple as well. After all, the timing and location were such a coincidence. How could they be unrelated?
Ding! The elevator door opened, and Han Muzi walked to her unit. When she was just about to open the cover to enter her fingerprint, she stopped suddenly.
Through the surveillance cameras she had installed, she discovered that the door inside was opened, and she could see the footage.
Han Muzi felt a chill run down her spine at this instant. She clearly remembered that she had closed the inner door when she came out just now. Thinking of this, Han Muzi quickly entered her fingerprints and opened the door to walk in.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Yan quickly followed her. After Han Muzi entered, she found two pairs of shoes in the hallway. Her expression changed and she walked in directly without taking off her shoes.
“Mommy, are you back?”
A young voice entered her ears. Looking toward the source of the voice, Han Muzi saw that Little Bean had brought two glasses of water out from the kitchen, and two men in police uniforms were sitting on the couch in the living room.
When the two of them saw that the adults were back, they stood up. “Hello, Miss Han. Since you were not home just now, your son opened the door to let us in.”
Looking at them, Han Muzi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that something had happened to Little Bean.
“Hi. Can I help you?”
As the policeman addressed her name in such a straightforward manner, it was obvious they came here prepared.
After asking, Han Muzi took another look at Little Bean and smiled slightly. “Little Bean, Mommy wants to talk to the police officers. Can you go upstairs first?”
Little Bean blinked and nodded, but just when he was about to walk upstairs, one of the police officers said, “Miss Han, to ensure the authenticity of your words, we would like your son to stay here as well. We have a few questions for him.”
Although the smile on Han Muzi’s face was still polite, it turned colder. She slowly asked, “Are you here to ask questions or to interrogate us?”
The expressions of the policemen changed immediately. After a glance at each other, they sighed. “Well, it’s not an interrogation. But just to make sure that everything follows protocol, Miss Han, I hope you can cooperate with us.”
“Okay.” Han Muzi waved to Little Bean and motioned him to come near her. Yan also followed suit rather anxiously.
“Gentlemen, what questions do you have for me?”
“You don’t have to be nervous. Maybe we were too serious just now, so we’ve scared you off. But this is our job—we don’t mean any harm. So, I heard that you received a parcel last night with a dead rabbit inside, am I right?”
Han Muzi did not deny it. Instead, she nodded directly and admitted it. “Yes.”
“Do you know who sent that to you?”
“No, I don’t.”
“You don’t know?” One of them increased his volume. “Have you offended anyone? For example, at work, or in a romantic aspect?”
“Well, whether I have offended anyone or not, I think it’s quite subjective. You should ask the other party about that.” Han Muzi smiled slightly. “If you ask me, I don’t think I have any problems dealing with other people, so I probably shouldn’t have offended anyone. ”
Yan, who was standing next to Han Muzi, thought to herself, She’s amazing.
Her answer made the two police officers frown, but after thinking about it, they felt that her reply was legitimate. After all, matters like offending people were subjective. What if they were nice on the surface, but secretly bore grudges?
“Miss Han, you are indeed not wrong. But can you think of any instance where someone has held a grudge against you?”
Han Muzi smiled slightly. “I don’t understand why this would alarm the police. I didn’t call the police, did I? Mister, before you continue to ask me questions, as the one being questioned, I have the right to understand the entire course of the issue. I want to know the reason you came here. Is it because of the person who died downstairs? Is the police suspecting that I’m involved?”
“Miss Han, you’ve misunderstood. We don’t suspect you. It just happened that the deceased was the person who delivered the parcel, so we made the connection to you.”
Hearing that, Han Muzi’s pupils shrank. “What did you say? The deceased was the man who delivered the parcel?”
“Yes, we tracked down the surveillance cameras and found that he was the one who delivered it.”
“How did this happen?” Yan couldn’t help interjecting at this time. “If it was him who delivered the parcel, why did he kill himself this morning? I don’t understand.”
“That’s why we came to you,” the police officer said helplessly.
The development of the case until now had been particularly absurd.
Why did the delivery man take his own life? Was it because he was afraid of being discovered? However, if all he did was deliver the dead rabbit, why would it get to the point where he would have to kill himself? If he was caught, he would just get a warning, or be made to cooperate with the authorities to find the mastermind. He probably wouldn’t have gotten into any trouble anyway.
The mastermind…
Could it be that the mastermind did this?
