Chapter 1687 Questions
"that……"

It was the middle-aged man who spoke first.

"You can leave if you want."

The female police officer interrupted the middle-aged man.

"I want you to leave."

"There will be a lot of people coming later."

"And here..."

The female officer looked around and said, "It's obviously not big enough."

She looked at the young man and said, "Sir, could you please leave your contact information?"

Among the people present, she had the phone number of the white-collar woman who had just left.

She knew the location of the middle-aged man's shop.

The old man lives here, so it’s easier to find him.

The only thing was that she didn't have any contact information for the young man.

"Ah, okay."

The young man did not ask, nor did he hesitate.

He simply left his contact information.

He knew that not only him, but the police should have contact information for everyone present today.

Moreover, if we were to say who among these people has the closest relationship with Brother Li, it would really be him.

Although he didn't say much to Brother Li.

But they work for the same company.

This alone is worth the police asking for his contact information.

Before leaving, the young man couldn't hold back his curiosity and hesitantly asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a while.

"Comrade police."

"Inside the house-"

He looked at the door of Brother Li's house and asked, "Really...someone died?"

The female police officer nodded slightly.

There is nothing to hide.

When the police come over, everyone nearby will know that someone has died here.

"Drink~"

The young man gasped.

"Bang~"

The old man accidentally bumped into the door panel beside him.

"Old man, are you okay?"

The female police officer asked with concern.

"it's okay no problem."

The old man held onto the door frame and said, "Police, police comrade, are you telling the truth?"

"Xiao Li... is dead?"

The female police officer shook her head and said, "The identity of the deceased has not been confirmed yet."

She didn't let the old man ask any more questions, "Old man, you'd better close the door."

"It's going to be a bit noisy here."

"Ah, oh oh."

The old man also couldn't see why the female police officer was avoiding the question.

Although she felt a little regretful, she knew that the female police officer would not reveal any more information to her.

At this time, she should do as the police officer said.

The old man closed the door.

……

The young man left with the middle-aged man.

After a few steps, they heard the high-pitched sound of sirens.

It breaks the lazy atmosphere of summer.

It makes people's hearts tense up.

The young man and the middle-aged man looked at each other and said nothing.

……

Just as they were about to walk out of the apartment building, they saw the police coming towards them.

His steps were hurried and his expression was serious.

They turned sideways.

The police filed past.

Soon, the policemen disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

The young man couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Noticing the middle-aged man's gaze, he smiled embarrassedly.

The middle-aged man smiled back subconsciously.

Neither of their smiles was very natural.

……

The bright sunshine falls on my body.

It seemed to dispel some of the haze in the hearts of the middle-aged man and the young man.

Their expressions brightened a little.

The two of them didn't exchange much greetings and just waved goodbye to each other.

It turned out that they left in the same direction.

There was a moment of embarrassment on both of their faces.

……

The two walked in silence all the way to the entrance of the community.

This time it's really two directions.

The two waved to each other again.

They are "brothers in distress" in a sense. I wonder if the next time they meet will be at the police station?

The young man turned around and curled the corners of his mouth.

He looked at the time.

Although it was getting late, he should go back to the company.

Tell the company about Brother Li’s matter.

This will prevent the police from coming to the company and leaving it in a state of confusion.

Moreover, after suffering such a great shock, he didn't want to be alone.

It’s better to go to the office to relax.

If he tells everyone about his own experiences, he won't be like this.
He couldn't tell.

I just feel like my heart is tense and a little uncomfortable.

You are really scaring yourself.

He shook his head.

I clearly didn't see anything.

Meng Jixi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a big sip of tea.

I've talked so much that my mouth is dry.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao smiled and asked, "Is the problem with that skeleton?"

"Crack~"

Meng Jixi snapped his fingers.

"Master Xiao is just smart."

Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement.

Isn't this obvious?
"What happened to the skeleton?"

Chi Xiuchuan couldn't help but ask.

Before, Ah Xi only told him a general idea.

I’ll tell you the details after I meet Master Xiao.

So he doesn't have to say the same thing twice.

"Is that skeleton the owner of the house?"

Chi Xiu Ke also asked her own questions.

"Yes."

Meng Jixi nodded, "That skeleton is the owner of the house, Li Wei."

"That is the bad uncle that Xiao Xiao suspected stole his parrot."

"Did he really steal the child's parrot?"

Chi Xiu Ke held the teacup in front of her with both hands.

The rich aroma of tea slowly calmed her turbulent emotions.

"do not know."

Meng Jixi shook his head.

"The parrot was not found in Li Wei's house."

“Nothing unusual was found.”

"Nothing unusual?"

Chi Xiuchuan vaguely felt that Meng Jixi was hinting at something.

"Yes."

Meng Jixi frowned, "I didn't find any signs of struggle or fighting."

"No items in the room were found to contain any substance that could cause a person to become unconscious."

"So, why did he die so...peacefully?"

Meng Jixi thought for a long time and reluctantly chose a not-so-appropriate adjective, "The police are still investigating."

"Then why did his body turn into a pile of dry bones?"

Chi Xiuchuan continued to ask.

"Is it because the temperature in the house is too high that the corpse has decomposed faster?"

After all, it is midsummer now.

"In the room—"

"The air conditioner is on in the room."

Meng Jixi's voice sounded almost at the same time as Chi Xiuchuan's.

"what?"

Chi Xiuchuan was stunned, "Is the air conditioner on?"

"Yes."

Meng Jixi couldn't help but sigh.

"Dou Wei is just like going to bed at a normal time."

"But I didn't know that once I fell asleep this time, I would never wake up again."

"There is only a skeleton left."

……

"Has he been dead long?"

Chi Xiuchuan rubbed his forehead and asked, "Did he get some kind of potion?"

"Did you find anything at the scene?"

"No."

Meng Jixi spread his hands, "Didn't I just say that?"

"Everything is normal at the scene."

"Nothing was found."

“That’s why it’s so frustrating.”

"However, the fact that there was no evidence at the scene does not necessarily mean anything."

"Who knows if the murderer was too cunning and did a good job of cleaning up the mess?"
