This is my first day in mountain city, and also the first day of everything happening.
I moved into the house where I currently live a little after 8 in the morning. After tidying up for a while and seeing that everything was almost done, I went downstairs and found a noodle shop, where I ordered a small bowl of noodles.
After finishing my meal, I went back upstairs because the tidying up was almost done, and I wanted to take a rest. By the way, it should be around three or four in the afternoon at this time. When I woke up again, it was already around 8 o'clock in the evening, and I didn't wake up naturally because someone knocked on the door and woke me up. I went to open the door and saw several people standing outside, with the leader showing me his police badge when I opened the door. I took a look at it.
"Hello, we are the police. Have you heard any strange noises around five o'clock this afternoon? Or have you seen any strange people downstairs today?"
"Five o'clock? No! I was asleep! I just moved in today, and I don't know the people around here very well, so I'm not sure if they are strange or not. Officer, may I ask what happened?"
"Your next-door neighbor was found dead in their home."
"So, do you suspect me?"
"Until everything is over, I can maintain my suspicion of you."
"Alright! If there's anywhere you need help, I unconditionally support you."
"Okay! You should rest first!" The leader man said and was about to leave, but I stopped him. "Officer Zheng! I won't get into trouble, will I?"
After Zheng Yi finished listening to me, he stopped and looked at me with some confusion. I could see his confusion, so I shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Police badge. You showed me your police badge." After hearing my words, Zheng Yi finally remembered that he had shown me his police badge.
"If you notice anything unusual, you can give us a call, and we will do everything we can to protect you." After saying that, Zheng Yi left, and I didn't pay any more attention to the matter. Just as I sat down on the sofa, I heard a cat meowing by the bed. I walked over, opened the window, and let it into the house.
This cat must be hungry. I don't have a cat, and I just moved in, so there's nothing for it to eat. I rummaged around and found some cookies that I had brought with me. I opened the package and fed the cat two pieces.
The little cat gobbled up the cookies and then wandered around the room for a few laps before jumping onto the windowsill and scratching at the window.
I think it wanted to leave, so I opened the window. Just as I thought, the next second after I opened the window, it ran away.
I watched him leave, smiled slightly, then turned and went to the study, read for a while, and then felt bored so I started browsing the internet. After reading some online news for a while, I didn't find anything that happened this afternoon. I thought the police might have suppressed it to avoid causing panic. I didn't pay too much attention, closed the computer, and went to the living room, poured a glass of water. While drinking water, I glanced at the package of cat treats I had just fed to the cat, picked it up, and put it in my pocket. Then I looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock, so I went downstairs to the supermarket to buy some food.
When I was checking out, the boss told me to be careful because someone was murdered today. The victim was a really good person, never offended anyone, and died for no reason. I thanked the boss and went back home. I don't care about this! Who would harm me!
At this moment in the police station, Zheng Yi and his colleagues are analyzing the cause of the case. The deceased had a good network of friends, but had never offended anyone. For a while, they didn't know where to start. In addition, the body had no external injuries, but there were pinpoint hemorrhages in the conjunctiva, cyanosis of the face, and dilated pupils. They tentatively concluded that the cause of death was suffocation.
"Xiao Zhao, what was the relationship between the first person to discover the deceased and him?"
"It's the deceased's girlfriend, Xiao Lan. According to her, today was their scheduled date, and she waited for him at the agreed place for a long time but didn't see him. So she went to his house to look for him. She knocked for a long time but there was no answer, so she thought maybe the deceased was too engrossed in work at the time. She found the spare key where the deceased usually kept it and opened the door, only to find the deceased lying on the sofa."
"How is she sure that the deceased was at home at that time?"
"Xiao Lan said that the deceased didn't have work that day, and based on his habits, when he wasn't working, he would either be at home or out on a date with her. Also, except when he was busy with work and didn't check his phone, he was always online and wouldn't be late for a date."
"Has anyone seen her go there today?"
"No!"
"Is there monitoring in that area?"
