Chapter 2, Jumping from a Building

As for Wang Lei, he has already inquired.

A Gui has died

I remained in this profound sense of loss until the police left

A total of two police officers arrived, one being a young female officer who somewhat resembled Sayaka Akiyama, though not as sweet-looking. She had a stern expression and appeared somewhat fierce. As for the other officer, he was an older man, nearly in his fifties, who came over to sit at the head of my bed, speaking in a colloquial manner and displaying a rather unfriendly attitude

After a while, the old police officer asked, "Are you sure that what you just said is all true?"

Is it true or false

Upon hearing these words, I was instantly filled with anger

I did not see Wang Lei in the ward, probably because he was avoiding me. The attractive young policewoman was responsible for taking notes, while the older police officer, after delivering a brief opening statement, began to inquire about the events that had occurred previously.

Indeed, especially the eyes, give one a chilling feeling

I said with a heart full of grievances: "Do I really need to tell a lie?"

Wang Lei knew my reaction would be like this, so he began to recount what had happened last night, saying it was similar to what he told the police. The only difference was that I was originally about to jump down, but it seemed someone was calling me at the door, so I didn't end up jumping. Unexpectedly, just as I reached the door, A Gui slipped and jumped down instead.

A worthless loser, lacking both money and a home, what can he possibly use to hope for those unattainable things

I had a large puddle of urine in my pants, and I really had no mood to chat more about the - picture - book. He ignored me, so I walked to the bathroom. The light didn't turn on; it was probably a blown fuse. I took off the patient pants in the dark and put the bed sheet in the bucket. I realized I hadn't brought a spare pair of pants; I certainly couldn't go find the nurse wearing just shorts

A sudden sense of panic arose within me, and I said, "If that's the case, why didn't I jump?"

Upon seeing him, I recalled what the police had mentioned earlier, and I seized him, asking: "You weren't lying just now?"

Then how did A Gui die

Thinking of this, I immediately wanted to go out and find the luggage bag that my colleague had sent. However, just as I stepped out of the bathroom, the lights in the ward suddenly turned on, and then A Gui also turned his head.

Eyes

I am surprised; what does it mean to be scared?

The old policeman's expression suddenly turned cold. He glanced at the female officer, who, noticing this, cleared her throat and said: "Wang Ming, be honest and straightforward, do not try to be cunning or evasive"

In the dead of night, if I act like this, I might just end up being beaten up as a thug

At that time, I was extremely frightened, yet I never imagined that it would be the last time I saw Ah Gui alive

As soon as I got up, I went straight to the bathroom. How could I possibly be standing by the windowsill, completely motionless? If that were the case, wouldn't it be me who jumped down?

I do not know how long it has been, when a person suddenly appeared before me. At the moment when A Gui had just jumped off the building, I was immediately startled and shivered. Upon closer inspection, it was Wang Lei, who had just been taken out to avoid the situation.

The person Wang Lei mentioned, is it me or Ah Gui

I rolled my eyes, sat up straight, and shouted loudly: "Damn it, do you still suspect that I pushed A Gui down?"

The two police officers exchanged glances and then asked me a few questions about A Gui, inquiring about his family situation, economic issues, whether he had any debts, or if there were any emotional problems, attempting to uncover his motive for "suicide"

This early in the morning, sunlight is streaming in through the window, yet I feel completely cold.

Was everything I experienced yesterday truly a dream

It was a pale, pale face, with all the muscles taut and rigid, and the eyes wide open. Perhaps due to having endured a night full of nightmares, at the moment the light turned on, I felt that Ah Gui's face was strikingly similar to that of the black-robed man from Mangshan.

He also has a younger sister who is attending university. Most of his salary goes towards supporting her education. With such a burden, how could he possibly contemplate suicide?

I had just woken up from a nightmare when that person startled me greatly. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be that guy, A Gui, who was still awake, standing by the windowsill looking outside

The female police officer pointed around and said: "You just claimed that you wet the bed in the middle of the night and woke up. Let me tell you, your bed is perfectly fine, and there are no wet blankets in the bathroom at all; even your pants show no signs of urine. Additionally, according to another party involved, Wang Lei, you got up straight in the middle of the night and walked towards the window. He called out to you, but you did not respond and just stood by the window..."

The old police officer had seen all kinds of people. Upon seeing me, he was filled with anger and immediately stood up, shouting at me: "What are you shouting about? Until the matter is clarified, everyone is a suspect. Don't get emotional, or else we won't be having this conversation here!"

When I woke up, the hospital had already reported the incident. After the nurse saw that I was awake, she called the police to come and question me

Upon hearing the other person's words, a cold sweat instantly broke out on my forehead

Certainly not, this person has always been cheerful and optimistic. His hometown is in Jinping County, Guizhou Province. Although his family is poor, it is filled with hope

Although I was still thinking about the previous events, I was completely startled. However, upon seeing the other person's uniform, I felt a bit reassured and recounted the sequence of events to them

If it were that old police officer with a deadpan expression, I might have let it go, but this female officer looks like she just graduated, even younger than me by a few years. Moreover, I am, after all, a victim. Using such a tone is truly unpleasant. I also put on a stern face and said: "What do you mean by *illustration*? Are you saying that everything I said is a lie?"

To be honest, I have a good impression of this female police officer, after all, she is a beautiful woman, and I am a young man full of vigor without a girlfriend. However, when she scolded me like that, it felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over my head, and I suddenly became clear-headed.

I have always been a timid person, and when the police officer scolded me like that, I immediately wilted, sat back down, and swallowed all my words.

I was so frightened that my whole body went rigid, standing still in place. At that moment, the lights suddenly went out, and the room was engulfed in darkness. In a panic, I hurriedly pushed open the door, but as soon as I stepped out, a sudden pain shot through my head, and the world spun around me. I didn't know how I ended up tripping and falling.

This is what I heard from others; at that time, I was already collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat, as if I was about to pass out.

Wang Lei approached me cautiously, but I suddenly grabbed him, which scared him so much that he trembled and tried to back away. I was a bit confused and asked him, "Wang Lei, what on earth are you doing? What is going on?"

I woke up a few hours later. I heard the nurses say that while they were on duty, they heard some noise at the door of my ward and hurried over to assist me. When they helped me back to bed, they realized that one patient was missing. They searched everywhere but could not find him. Eventually, a nurse on duty glanced out the window and saw a shadow under the streetlight, slumped awkwardly by the flowerbed.

The female police officer looked at me with a smile that was not quite a smile and said, "This is the question we want to ask you."

It seems that the murder that occurred in the dead of night has truly made him somewhat irritated

Since A Gui was not asleep, I felt it inappropriate to hide anything from him. I quietly asked what he was doing, but he seemed not to hear me, standing there in a daze without saying a word

When I was lying on the ground, I turned my head to take a look, but I did not see A Gui by the window

He didn't even turn his head

He fell from the sixth floor, headfirst, and violently crashed into the flowerbed below the hospital building, resulting in a gruesome injury. His brain matter was scattered all over the ground, and the scene was truly tragic

Will A Gui commit suicide

Wang Lei saw my expression and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He pulled over a stool, sat at the head of my bed, and gasped, "A Ming, to be honest, I was scared by you earlier—you have no idea how fierce you can be..."

After the police finished their understanding, they handed me the record for my signature. I glanced at it briefly and noticed the handwriting was quite neat. Instinctively, I glanced at the female police officer and thought she looked increasingly attractive. As a result, she shot me a glare and said, "Look carefully; if there are no discrepancies, just sign your name."

Indeed, she is a police officer in uniform, but who are we

Wang Lei's words left me in a cold sweat

I felt a sudden sense of absurdity when I saw them ask that question

Reflecting on this matter, it truly is not a pleasant experience. After I finished speaking, the two police officers stared at each other in silence for quite some time.
