Chapter 287: He Didn’t Die of Illness
When they saw me come in, several people in the room looked at me.
My mother was the first to ask me, "You didn't come with your father?"
I was stunned: "My dad went to City A again? He didn't contact me."
My mother frowned and said, "I don't know what your father has been busy with recently. He goes to City A every day.
I even specifically told him to bring you back, but for some reason he didn't contact you."
What could be going on? It must be inconvenient for you to find me.
I changed the subject and asked, "Mom, why did my aunt leave so suddenly? Didn't she say she would be gone for a while?"
My uncle-in-law looked a little uneasy. My mother glanced at him and said, "It's good that your aunt is gone. At least she is no longer in pain. It can be considered a relief."
Deng Sisi looked down at her phone with an indifferent expression. When I entered the door, she raised her eyelids and didn't greet me. I was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Seeing that everyone was sitting there quietly without saying anything, I found a chair to sit on.
Just as I sat down, two policemen came in. "We've already interviewed all the neighbors. Is there anyone among you who hasn't made a statement?"
Then he looked at me and said, "That little girl just arrived, right? Come here, what is your relationship with the deceased?"
I was a little confused. Why did the police come? Didn’t my aunt die of illness?
"The deceased was my aunt. Is there anything wrong with her death?"
The police looked at me strangely and asked, "The deceased fell from the building, didn't you know?"
My eyes suddenly widened. "Didn't my aunt die of illness?"
I turned to look at my mother, "Mom, why didn't you tell me that my aunt passed away accidentally?"
My mother looked a little uncomfortable. "It's no use telling you. She jumped off the building on her own. No one pushed her down."
I was speechless. What my mother said seemed to make sense. But what good was it even if she told me? I couldn't do anything.
But I still feel like something is wrong.
Suddenly, I thought, "Mom, hasn't my aunt been staying in the hospital for palliative care? Why was she discharged?"
Patients with advanced cancer often feel severe pain. The hospital's palliative care is actually to help patients relieve pain. To put it simply, it is to give them some morphine to help relieve pain.
Morphine is a strictly controlled anesthetic drug and is strictly prohibited from being taken out of medical institutions, so it cannot be taken home for use. So did my aunt choose to jump off the building because she could not bear the pain?
I felt a chill in my heart. My grandparents had passed away a long time ago, and the only one who could make the decision to let my aunt go home was my uncle.
My mother looked at my uncle without saying anything. My uncle cleared his throat and said, "I have already told the police the reason. Your aunt's illness cannot be cured, and she said she wants to live back home.
I followed her wishes and took her home, but I didn't expect that she would commit suicide just a few days after we came back. Sigh."
The police officer, in a businesslike manner, sat down at the table and began to record: "Please fill in your name, age, workplace, and relationship to the deceased."
I picked up a pen and wrote it down truthfully. The police asked me, "Did you have much contact with the deceased? When was the last time you saw her?"
"It was two days before the Chinese New Year. She was hospitalized in the county hospital and I went to visit her." I answered truthfully.
"Did the deceased have any abnormal language or behavior at the time?" I know this is just a routine inquiry, but I still find it ironic. What kind of behavior is considered normal for a patient with advanced cancer?
I thought about it and said, "In my impression, my aunt is weak and strong, and she doesn't seem like someone who would choose to end her own life.
In my opinion, she either suffered from depression or was in so much pain that she lost the courage to live."
