Chapter 32 Investigation 2

After the middle-aged woman asked the question and several workers outside the door showed their ID cards, the middle-aged woman in the house relaxed her vigilance.

"We have a few questions for you." The police officer glanced into the house and asked, "Are you alone in your home?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head. "I live with my husband. My son is still at school, but my husband went out last night and hasn't come back yet. I'm the only one at home now."

The police officer nodded and asked, "Do you have protective clothing at home? How did your husband go out? Didn't you look for him when he didn't come back?"

"He went out in the middle of the night. I was asleep and didn't even know. But he couldn't leave the building without protective clothing, and where could I find him? I thought there was poisonous fog in the hallway and I didn't dare open the door. I called him all night but he didn't answer. Do you have any news about my lover?"

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her mind became clearer. She quickly asked, "You are coming here now. Could it be that something really happened to my lover?"

After the middle-aged woman finished asking, one of the police officers took out his cell phone, opened a photo, and placed it in front of the woman, asking, "Look, is this your lover?"

The middle-aged woman took a look and found that this person was really him, but he was just in the photo... The middle-aged woman asked in a panic: "What's wrong with my husband? He was fine yesterday, why did he become like this today? What about my husband..."

The police officer said, "Are you sure this is your lover? You didn't recognize him wrongly."

The middle-aged woman said firmly: "I'm not mistaken. He has a big mole on his face. Even though his skin is like this, the mole is still there. I can recognize that this is my lover at a glance, but how come his skin is so rotten? He wouldn't have run away like this, right? Then my lover..." is he still alive?

"Your lover is dead. This morning, when staff went to investigate the unusual situation caused by the loud noise last night, they found your lover's body in the grass next to the building." Just as the woman was heartbroken, the police officer added, "There was another woman's body next to them. They were both killed together."

When the woman heard this, her face lost all trace of pain. She immediately yelled, "Who is that woman? Is she the little bitch from the 14th floor? I knew those two were together, and he said they were fine. How can you say they're fine? Liars, all liars."

As she spoke, the middle-aged woman began to cry sadly, "I have a miserable life..."

The police had no time to listen to the middle-aged woman's wailing, so they immediately interrupted her and started taking her statement.

First, find out about the relationship between the man and the woman on the 14th floor, and then find out about the middle-aged woman's itinerary from last night to this morning.

The middle-aged woman naturally tried her best to distance herself from the truth. She cooperated and said, "My house has surveillance. Although there are water restrictions during this period, there is always electricity. You can see whether what I said is true by watching the surveillance. It was my child who installed the surveillance."

At first she thought it was too expensive, after all, there were no elderly people or children in their family, so why install surveillance? But she never expected that it would come in handy one day.

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she took out her mobile phone with the monitoring software installed on it. After opening the software, she immediately handed it to the police.

When the police heard there was a surveillance camera, they readily accepted it. After all, they were more willing to believe the footage captured by the surveillance camera than the confession. "Okay, I'll take a look now. Do you mind if I make a copy of the surveillance camera?"

The middle-aged woman had a clear conscience, so she naturally agreed to the police's request. After quickly reviewing the surveillance footage of that period, the police cleared the middle-aged woman of all charges. This was because during the time after the man left home, the middle-aged woman had never left the house. After the loud noise, she went to the window and looked for a long time, and then chatted in the group for a long time before it ended.

The police officer immediately copied the video and returned the phone to the middle-aged woman, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation. We will notify you as soon as we have any news. If you think of any useful information, please let us know in time."

Just as they were leaving, the middle-aged woman hurriedly asked, "That woman is from the 14th floor, right? She's the little goblin from the 14th floor, right?"

Several people were speechless. They couldn't tell you either.

The middle-aged woman watched several people get on the elevator and was reluctant to leave. Until the elevator really stopped at the 14th floor, the middle-aged woman wailed again. Sure enough, it was the 14th floor...

…

1404.

After confirming that there was no poisonous fog in the corridor, the people in the house opened the door after a brief busy time.

An elderly woman opened the door, holding a little girl about four years old in her arms. Seeing that there were quite a few people standing outside, she asked in confusion, "Are you from the community?"

The people outside the door quickly showed their IDs and said, "We are police officers. May I ask how many people live in this household?"

Just as he finished speaking, an old man came to the door holding a one-year-old baby in his arms. Seeing the scene before him, the police officer's heart tightened. Could this family be all elderly, weak, or disabled? The old woman in front of him also said, "My son died in a car accident last year, and my daughter-in-law went out last night and hasn't come back since. Now there are only four of us at home."

The police officer asked, "Do you know where your wife is? She hasn't come back for so long, haven't you gone out to look for her?"

"Everyone in the mobile group chat said there was poisonous fog in the corridor. We didn't dare go out. I called her, but her phone number was at home. You came over because my daughter-in-law had done something wrong. This doesn't make sense. She can't have done anything wrong if she can't leave the building. Could she have been injured by breathing in the poisonous fog? What should we do?"

The old lady immediately became anxious. This family really couldn't afford any more online games. What would happen to the two children in the family if her daughter-in-law died?

But in fact, the person had already died.

"Did your daughter-in-law tell you anything? Why did she go out in the middle of the night without you asking?"

"No, we're old and go to bed early, so she usually takes care of the child at night. But last night, we heard her crying and realized she was missing. We originally planned to go out to look for her, but not long after, we heard a noise that scared us. After seeing the messages in the mobile group, we didn't dare to go out anymore."

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the old man hurriedly said, "Did my daughter-in-law commit a crime or get hurt? If something happens to her, what will happen to these two children?"
