"I'll stay here for a while, go and see if you've found anything."
When He Tiantian turned to look downstairs, the person wearing the hat was gone.
Shen Yizhou went back to observe, but couldn't find any clues outside, and there were still police around.
"Let's go back first. There are too many people, so we won't be able to find anything."
"Let's go, let's go, I want to drink coconut water."
The two took the elevator back to the 4th floor. The resident of 403 was just coming out, and the little boy was looking at He Tiantian with longing eyes. His mother pulled him down the stairs.
Back home, He Tiantian went straight to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of coconut water, and gave one to Shen Yizhou.
He Tiantian sat back on the sofa and started watching a detective variety show. Just as she was getting into it, there was another knock on the door.
He Tiantian clicked her tongue impatiently. Shen Yizhou stood up, but instead of opening the door, he looked through the peephole.
He was a policeman, but this policeman was strange; he held his hat up to the cat's eyes, so Shen Yizhou couldn't see his face through the cat's eyes.
He Tiantian knew that Shen Yizhou wouldn't open the door, so even if something was wrong, she wouldn't dare to make a sound.
"Hello, I'm a police officer, please open the door."
The man outside knocked on the door a few more times, but Shen Yizhou still didn't open it.
Soon after, footsteps sounded outside. Shen Yizhou looked through the peephole and saw that there was no one outside.
He sat back down on the sofa, took out a cigarette, and started smoking.
"Zhouzhou, why didn't you open the door just now? Didn't that person say he was a policeman?" He Tiantian asked, somewhat puzzled.
“He came alone, and he covered his cat's eyes with a hat, so I couldn't see his face.”
Shen Yizhou started thinking as he smoked a cigarette, while He Tiantian didn't understand what it meant for someone to come alone.
"What does it mean that you came alone?"
"The police don't come alone; it's usually two people. The person outside isn't a police officer."
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment. There was actually such a saying! She had really learned something new.
There was another knock on the door; this is the third time today.
Shen Yizhou looked through the peephole and saw two policemen. He opened the door to let them in.
"Hello, we are police officers. There has been a murder upstairs. Some residents said you went to room 504 last night, is that right?"
The landlady was right.
"Yes, there was a lot of noise upstairs last night. They kept throwing things on the ground, and it felt like they were going to break our ceiling, so we went upstairs to tell them."
Did you hear the specific content of the argument?
Shen Yizhou looked at He Tiantian, indicating that she could speak.
"It's like this: the girl went out to a classmate reunion, dressed up nicely, and the guy said she went out to see her old flame. He didn't believe her, so he kept hitting her."
"Did you hear anything else?"
He Tiantian tried hard to recall, and then it seemed like there was only the sound of beating, and then there was no more talking.
"No, we ran into the woman when we went up, and she taught that man a lesson."
"The deceased's family, right? We have information about that."
"Ah, late last night, the woman's older brother warned the man, and then it became completely quiet."
The police recorded everything He Tiantian said and asked her several times if she had heard anything else.
"That's all. I didn't hear anything in the latter half of the night."
"Okay, we will verify with the deceased's family. Thank you for your cooperation."
Shen Yizhou saw the two policemen out, and He Tiantian continued to press the play button, feeling that she was starting to learn something new from watching.
"Don't go out alone these next few days. The murderer probably hasn't gone far and is still in this house."
This was the first time He Tiantian had seen Shen Yizhou so serious, and this time she had to behave herself.
The two remained silent, watching the variety show on the sofa. He Tiantian had already absorbed the essence of it! She's become smarter!
Just after 11 o'clock, it started raining heavily outside. Shen Yizhou brought the clothes inside, and He Tiantian went to help. She looked at the weather outside the window and wondered if it would clear up today.
"Are you hungry? Would you like me to cook something to eat?"
"No, I feel like I haven't even digested my breakfast yet."
The two chatted casually, enjoying themselves for the first time in their lives.
He Tiantian went to the bathroom, washed her face, and applied a face mask, which made her complexion look much better.
She picked up the serum again and started applying it, while Shen Yizhou watched with great interest; he had never tried such a product before.
"Can I use it?"
Shen Yizhou couldn't help but blurt it out.
He Tiantian was a little surprised, but she still let him wash his face and applied her own skincare products to him.
