Hearing this, I immediately understood that the two policemen were talking about Yang Xiaoxia, the fat bitch. I looked at the policemen in front of me in surprise. It took me a long time to recover from the shock. I didn't know what to say for a moment, and blurted out: "You mean that fat bitch fell to her death? This retribution comes so quickly."
I regretted saying this. Describing Yang Xiaoxia like this must have put all the suspicion on myself. The two policemen looked at me with a slightly more serious look and asked, "Can we go in and talk?"
I nodded, opened the door and let them in, poured them a glass of water, and then turned off the game. Although I was somewhat happy that someone who had offended me was dead, I still felt very upset. After all, I had a quarrel with that fat woman before. If the two policemen in front of me regarded me as a suspect, I would really have no way to defend myself.
The older-looking policeman in the lead probably saw that I looked worried and thought I was a little scared, so he smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My last name is Yang, and I'm the chief of the Binhe Town Police Station. Don't be nervous, young man. We've already checked. The surveillance video shows that the deceased fell to his death half an hour after you left. We have no other intentions this time. We just want to know what the deceased was doing when you last saw him, and who else was in the room?"
After hearing what Officer Yang said, I felt a little more at ease. After all, it was a homicide case. I carefully recalled everything that happened at that time and told Officer Yang everything.
Because I had a conflict with Yang Xiaoxia, I lowered my head with a guilty conscience. Officer Yang smiled and said, as if he could see through my heart, "Don't be nervous. We have already investigated. Yang Xiaoxia has problems with her behavior. You are not the only one who has conflicts with her."
Officer Yang frowned slightly as he spoke. "According to what you said, Yang Xiaoxia seemed to be with her husband who fell from the building with her, and you sent her a courier that looked like an empty package? But we didn't see such a courier at the scene. Can you describe it more specifically?"
"It looks like an empty package, about the size of a shoe box. Our company has regulations that we cannot open customers' packages at will, so I don't know exactly what's inside."
Officer Yang sighed seriously, took out his cell phone and seemed to call the police officer who was still searching Yang Xiaoxia's home to ask if there was such a package, but the answer from the other end was no.
"That is to say, this thing would not disappear suddenly. It is very likely that someone went to the deceased's home after you left and took the package away. This person is very likely the murderer of this murder. But it's so strange. The surveillance video shows that no one has been to that building after you left."
I took out a 7.5 yuan Hongtashan cigarette from my pocket and handed it to the two policemen, then lit one myself and said, "According to what Officer Yang said, it's not impossible, but is it possible that the fat woman committed suicide?"
Upon hearing this question, Officer Yang, who was lighting a cigarette, changed his expression and did not answer my question. The slightly younger police officer next to him slowly said, "I think this is impossible, because there is a corpse."
“Ahem!”
As soon as the younger policeman said this, Officer Yang suddenly coughed twice, signaling him not to continue, and then smiled and said, "Okay, we have understood what we need to understand. Thank you for your cooperation. If you think of any important clues in the future, remember to inform us. This is my phone number."
After saying that, Officer Yang took out a small notebook from his pocket, wrote down a phone number, handed it to me, and then left my house with his men.
After Officer Yang left, I no longer had the heart to continue working on the gold mine. I lay on the bed and kept recalling everything that happened today. Suddenly, I felt that all this was so unreal. Yang Xiaoxia, who had been arguing with me and preparing to complain, actually died just like that. From childhood to adulthood, I have never encountered a real dead person. Just listening to it made me break out in a cold sweat.
"What happened to the body? Why didn't Officer Yang tell me? Is there something else that shouldn't be known? Also, Officer Yang just said that after I delivered the package, no one else entered the apartment building. The murderer killed Yang Xiaoxia and her husband and took the empty package away, then mysteriously disappeared. Could it be that the murderer can become invisible?"
The more I thought about it, the more strange it seemed. However, since it was none of my business, I just ignored it. Besides, if that fat woman died, I would have one less complaint. I comforted myself in this way and stopped thinking about it. I sat down at my computer desk and continued playing LOL, trying to forget about this annoying thing.
Sure enough, this incident has been affecting my performance. I played for an entire afternoon and almost lost the entire afternoon. I was so angry that I almost uninstalled the game.
Since I have to get up early every morning, I usually go to bed very early, just after nine o'clock, after eating something, I went to sleep. But today I couldn't sleep at all. My mind was full of the scene of the quarrel with Yang Xiaoxia today. I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a daze, I dreamed that I was back in the Great Wall Community to deliver a parcel to Yang Xiaoxia. However, when Yang Xiaoxia opened the door, her face was covered in blood and she looked like she was dying with her eyes open.
I suddenly sat up from the bed, and only then did I realize that everything that had just happened was just a dream.
It was already dawn, around six or seven in the morning. I still had some time before I had to go to work, but I was not sleepy at all. I sat on the bed, covered with the quilt, in a daze for more than an hour, until the alarm on my cell phone rang, and I came to my senses.
Yesterday something like that happened, and today I had the same dream again. I feel that my mental state is very bad at this moment. This feeling is very strange. My head is groggy, but I don’t want to sleep at all. I originally planned to take a day off to have a good rest, but I remembered that the last time I took a day off was a week ago. If I take a day off now, my boss will definitely not agree. I had to bite the bullet and pack up and get up to go to work.
The fresh air in the early morning made my drowsy head a little clearer. I went to the store and then rode my bike to the head office to distribute the goods.
I came relatively early today. At this time, only the truck driver, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li were distributing the goods. Xiao Wang saw me coming and was about to greet me, but suddenly he looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "Ji Wen, what bad things did you do last night? Why do you look so bad?"
"I didn't sleep well last night. Let me take a look."
I quickly looked in the rearview mirror of the truck and found that my eyes were very dark and my face was pale, as if I had just had a serious illness.
Xiao Wang patted my shoulder with a grin and said, "How rude of you to go out and have fun without bringing me along?"
I reached out and pulled Xiao Wang's hand away and said, "How can I have the time to go out and play? Yesterday, a family I delivered goods to died, and the police questioned me for a long time. How did I run into such an unlucky thing?"
Xiao Li, who was standing nearby, stepped forward and said, "I heard about this, too. I heard that the family died tragically. The couple jumped from the sixth floor, and their bodies were as scary as they could be. It seems that the police came to the main store yesterday to question the boss, and they also came to ask you. What happened?"
"I had no idea what was going on. I was also confused at the time."
I fooled the two of them casually and started to divide the goods. But when I heard Xiao Li say that the corpse was scary, I immediately remembered the nightmare I had last night. I don't know why, my heartbeat became faster and faster, and even in broad daylight, I still felt that everything became eerie.
I immediately shook my head vigorously, concentrating on distributing the goods and temporarily forgetting that thought. But at this moment, my attention was once again attracted by a package in my hand.
Because the package in my hand at this moment seemed to be exactly the same as the package I delivered to Yang Xiaoxia's home yesterday, the same shoe box size, and just as light.
I don’t know why, but I always associated this strange package with Yang Xiaoxia’s death. I immediately looked at the recipient information and found that the package address and recipient were not Yang Xiaoxia, but a resident in another community.
At this point, I no longer had the energy to continue distributing the goods. I held the strange express in my hands, and a strange thought suddenly occurred to me: to open it!
During the more than one year I have been working, I have seen other couriers secretly open packages and steal things many times, but I have never done that. After all, this kind of ill-gotten gains is not a good thing for oneself. However, at this moment, I have a strong urge to open it.
My mind was still struggling, but my hands were no longer under my control. I gently grabbed the tape around the package and tore it off bit by bit. Every time I tore it off a bit, I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, as if what I held in my hand was not an empty package, but a powerful bomb!
