Chapter 55
Zhou Zhengzheng was talking to Chang Ting: "Okay, Master, I'll wait for you..." At the same time, he turned around and went back to the apartment door.
As soon as I stepped on the first step, I heard a muffled "bang" behind me.
Zhou Zhengzheng's back stiffened. He slowly turned around and saw a person lying a few steps behind him.
A person falling from the sky.
If she hadn't taken these few steps back, she would have been hit.
Zhou Zhengzheng's clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat, and for a moment he could not hear his master's roar in the receiver.
The property manager, who was not far away, suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Someone jumped from the building!"
Zhou Zhengzheng came to his senses, turned around and ran forward, recognizing the person on the ground at a glance.
In love.
She lay on her back on the concrete floor, her legs twisted at odd angles with torn stockings, a beige high-heeled shoe lying nearby. Her body twitched, her bulging eyes staring skyward, blood gushing from her mouth and nose, a dark stain spreading beneath her wavy hair.
Yu Aiai, who had been searching for her for a whole day, appeared before her eyes in this way.
Zhou Zhengzheng suddenly looked up at the roof.
The building was too tall and the sky was gloomy, so I couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone on the roof.
The manager was already panicking and at a loss: "What should I do, what should I do..."
Yu Aiai looked like all the bones in her body were broken, and Zhou Zhengzheng didn't dare to touch her.
"Call 120!" Zhou Zhengzheng shouted at the manager.
"Oh oh..." The manager came to his senses and hurriedly took out his cell phone to make a call.
Zhou Zhengzheng ran into the apartment and ran into a security guard who was on duty in the lobby and came out to check.
Zhou Zhengzheng grabbed him and asked, "Did you see anyone coming down from upstairs?"
The security guard shook his head.
Zhou Zhengzheng snatched the rubber stick from his hand and ran into the door.
She didn't have a sidearm, so she had to get a weapon.
As he ran, his mind raced—if Yu Aiai wasn't committing suicide but was murdered, then the murderer should still be on the roof at this moment. If the murderer wanted to escape without being caught by the surveillance cameras, taking the stairs was his only option.
All she had to do was go up the stairs and she would meet the murderer face to face!
She forgot the tiredness of the day and climbed up the stairs from the first floor quickly, but she didn't meet anyone until she reached the top floor.
The iron gate leading to the rooftop was half open and the lock was still broken. It was obvious that the property management had not had time to repair it yet.
The rapid running made her heart feel like it was about to explode. She tried to hold her breath, walked out holding the rubber stick tightly, and looked around. There was no one on the empty rooftop.
Five or six meters away from the concrete fence, a beige high-heeled shoe was tilted.
Zhou Zhengzheng carefully stepped around his shoes, approached the fence, and peered down. It was seventeen stories high, and the rooftop was eighteen stories high—a height that made him dizzy.
Yu Aiai was still lying on the cement floor in front of the gate. Under the light from the hallway, her body was twisted strangely, as if she was dancing a weird dance.
This perspective kept overlapping in Zhou Zhengzheng's mind with the scene where "Yu Er" fell from the building in the comics.
Yu Aiai ultimately couldn't escape the curse of the comics.
The flashing blue lights of the ambulance were approaching. Zhou Zhengzheng felt dizzy and squatted down against the fence, unable to recover for a long time.

When Chang Ting arrived, Yu Aiai had already been loaded into an ambulance and sent to the hospital, her life or death uncertain.
He stood in front of the apartment door and looked at the pool of blood, while the property manager was describing the scene of the incident incoherently.
"Fortunately, Officer Zhou took two steps back. Fortunately! If he had been hit, he would have died!" The manager was still in shock.
Chang Ting was speechless for a moment. He was so lucky, but also really scared. Zhou Zhengzheng had only been a regular employee for a few days. If something happened... he didn't dare to think about it.
When I got to the top floor, I saw Zhou Zhengzheng sitting on the ground in front of the fence, like a puppy that had lost a fight and was drenched in the rain.
"Zhou Zhengzheng."
Zhou Zhengzheng lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Master."
Chang Ting sighed and softened his tone, "No one expected her to come back and jump off the building. It's not your fault."
He tried to keep his tone calm, but his heart was filled with terror.
Could it be that Chen He's comics truly possess the power of curses, as some netizens claim? Any character she chooses will inevitably die in the manner she designates?
Zhou Zhengzheng suddenly raised his head: "No, I think there is another person."
Chang Ting was startled: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhengzheng clenched her fists. "When I ran up the stairs, I felt like there was someone not far away, but I couldn't catch up or see him!" She opened her bloodshot eyes wide, "Master, what on earth is going on? Is the murderer really a ghost?"
There was no fear in her voice when she said this, only anger.
As a police officer, she saw someone fall from a building right before her eyes, yet she couldn't even see a scrap of the killer's clothing. Deep frustration made her extremely angry, her eyes brightening abnormally, almost like a madman.
Chang Ting also felt it was too weird, but as a master, he had to remain rational.
"You've probably been misled by the comics." He squatted down and patted Zhou Zhengzheng's shoulder. "Go back and rest first. Get a good night's sleep. The colleagues who will examine the physical evidence will be here soon. They'll find out whether it was suicide or homicide."
