Chapter 943 Sharing Happiness

When Shao Jun and his men arrived at the crime scene, it was already past two in the morning. The scene was extremely tragic. A man and a woman fell to their death holding hands, their limbs twisted, their brains splattered all over the floor. But the strange thing was that even though the two had fallen beyond recognition, their hands were still tightly held together...

According to the person who reported the case, he found the two dead bodies when he was returning home from a class reunion. It was too dark at the time, and he felt from a distance that there seemed to be two people lying on the lawn in front of the first floor. At first, he thought they were drunkards who had returned home late at night like him. But when he went forward to take a look, he was almost scared to death, because they were actually two deformed dead bodies.

He was too frightened at the time and the light was dim so he couldn't see clearly for a while. It was not until the police arrived that he mustered up the courage to step forward and take another look. He recognized that the two dead were actually a young couple who rented a house on the 7th floor... Although they knew each other, they were just nodding acquaintances and didn't even know each other's names.

"Are young people under so much pressure nowadays? And they committed suicide hand in hand...I don't think there are still young couples who commit suicide together these days." Police officer Xiao Liu said, shaking his head.

Shao Jun heard this and said coldly, "Don't jump to conclusions so early...it's not certain whether it was suicide or not."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xiao Liu looked at Shao Jun and said, "Captain Shao, there is an eyewitness... It is the deceased's roommate. It is said that she saw the two of them jumping hand in hand. Xiao Wang is taking her statement over there."

"Why didn't the witness call the police?" Shao Jun asked in surprise.

Xiao Liu glanced in Xiao Wang's direction and said, "He was so frightened that he didn't react for a while..."

After hearing this, Shao Jun turned around and looked in the direction of Xiao Wang, and saw a fat girl standing next to him, saying something nervously. So Shao Jun walked over, took the notebook from Xiao Wang's hand and took a look. Perhaps because she saw another strange policeman, Xu Siying became even more nervous, and her voice trembled.

Seeing this, Shao Jun said in a deep voice, "Don't be too nervous... Just say whatever you see."

Xu Siying nodded and repeated what she had said before. Shao Jun didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he told Xiao Wang a few words and then turned back to Xiao Liu and said, "Come on... come upstairs with me and take a look."

Shao Jun and Xiao Liu then came to the rooftop. According to Xu Siying, Huang Man and Xiao Liu jumped down from the rooftop hand in hand. They did not find any problems on the rooftop at first, and there were no signs of struggle when they jumped down, such as tiles and wall coverings kicked off the top of the wall. Until Shao Jun saw a piece of melon seed shell on the rooftop...

He squatted down, reached out and picked up a melon seed shell and pressed it lightly with his fingernail. It broke with a snap. The crispness was obviously that it had just been thrown there. So he looked back at Xiao Liu with a puzzled look and said, "Would you eat melon seeds while watching your roommate jump off a building?"

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "I'm not that perverted... You mean these melon seed shells were eaten by Xu Siying just now? That can't be possible, she must have made a mistake. She said that after she came up, she saw Huang Man and the other person standing on the wall, and then she kept persuading them to come down if they had anything to say. Persuading people not to commit suicide is not like watching a movie, how could she eat melon seeds while persuading them?" Shao Jun sighed and said, "It rained a lot these past two days, and the air is humid... If someone threw them here earlier, they should have been damp by now, but these melon seed shells are very dry and break when pinched, which proves that they were thrown here not long ago. If they were not eaten by Xu Siying, then the two dead people must have eaten them."

"That's even more impossible... How could someone be so careless as to think about eating melon seeds before committing suicide?" Xiao Liu thought for a moment and continued, "It's actually easy to prove. There must be saliva on the melon seed shells. We won't know if we do a DNA test."

Shao Jun knocked Xiao Liu on the head and said, "You are so bold... If it's not a homicide case, why would you let the forensic department do a DNA test on you? Besides, even if Xu Siying's DNA is found, what does it prove? Did she push the two people downstairs? There is obviously no direct connection. By the way, did any of the neighbors hear anything?"

Xiao Liu shook his head and said, "This is really weird. Two people fell downstairs... What a huge noise it must have made, and no one else heard it?!"

The next morning, Xu Siying came to the company in high spirits. Her colleagues were still discussing Manager Sun's affairs. It was now said that she committed suicide because she was depressed by the company's year-end layoffs. The company's top management held a meeting overnight to discuss the matter. In order not to expand the impact and cause public criticism, the original layoff plan was temporarily shelved. Several interns in Manager Sun's department were also successfully converted to regular employees, including Xu Siying...

In the bathroom, Alice's voice sounded faintly beside Xu Siying's ears, "So, the matter was finally resolved perfectly."

But this is not what Xu Siying wants. She wants to be a regular employee in the company, but she doesn't want to use other people's lives to get this chance. This time the company stopped layoffs because of the death of Manager Sun, but what about next time? Xu Siying can't always use other people's lives to solve the problems she encounters, right?

"Can you let me go? You are already free, why do you have to pester me?" Xu Siying said in a trembling voice.

Alice chuckled after hearing this and said, "I really longed for freedom before, because an unrestrained life makes me very happy... But later I found that if no one shares my happiness, then what is the meaning of my freedom? Now I share my happiness with you and can help you realize your wish. Isn't that good?"

"Of course not! The way you help me is to let others die. I don't want to harm others. Can you please stay away from me?!" Xu Siying said almost pleadingly.

At this time, two female employees happened to walk into the bathroom. They heard Xu Siying mumbling something in the cubicle and all showed puzzled expressions, but they did not say anything directly. Instead, they pretended not to hear anything and walked out of the bathroom. Then the two of them whispered, "Did you see? Another mentally ill person has appeared. The company's layoff system is really harmful!"

In the chairman's office, Deng Yaohui looked at the documents in his hand and asked Assistant Zhao beside him in a deep voice, "How is Sun Yaqing's case being handled? Have the family members been comforted? Don't let others find our weaknesses and use them to attack us."
