Chapter 28: The Deceased’s Will? To Hell with This Shitty World!!!

Compared to the five floors below, the sixth floor looked eerily abnormal, completely illogical.

It was obviously cleaned, and all the footprints were wiped away, seemingly to hide any traces and evidence.

Su Ming glanced at the stairs leading to the sixth-floor balcony, bent down, and gently wiped the dust off with his fingers. He said, looking at the faint layer of dust on his fingertip:

“Gently wiping the stairs, I can see a light layer of dust on my fingers.”

“Since this abandoned building hasn’t been maintained in three years, dust easily gathers everywhere. Even after cleaning, it doesn’t take long for dust to settle again.”

“From the level of dust on these stairs, it seems someone must have wiped away the footprints around last night, during the time the victim fell.”

“This confirms…”

“Besides the deceased, someone else must have been here on the rooftop too.”

Su Ming’s technique of using the dust to estimate the timing impressed Xu Changsheng, who nodded in approval.

“Good work, Xiao Ming.”

“I didn’t expect the dust on these stairs would give us useful clues.”

“Now, let’s hope…”

“That there are still traces on the balcony that weren’t destroyed. We need to find the key evidence to further restore the truth of what happened.”

The two continued forward.

After carefully confirming that the stairs were cleaned and left no further clues, they slowly made their way to the rooftop.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Xu Changsheng looked at the scene in front of him, sighed, and shook his head.

“It’s such a pity.”

“They’re still just kids.”

Su Ming pursed his lips, remaining silent, but he understood clearly in his heart…

Xu Changsheng was lamenting the fact that the young female student had left this world in such a way, despite still being a child with a bright future ahead, but choosing to leave like this.

Because There were no signs of a struggle, no dried blood, or horrifying scenes on the rooftop.

Instead, there was just a neatly arranged Winnie-the-Pooh tablecloth, which should have been covered in dust but was also meticulously cleaned.

On the tablecloth were two bottles of AD calcium milk with straws, several empty snack wrappers from spicy strips and chips, a small desk lamp used for late-night reading, and…

A pale pink envelope placed in the center.

One could imagine…

Last night, the deceased had spent her final moments on this tablecloth, perhaps chatting with another witness about idols, past memories, unspoken crushes, or dreams that would never come true.

A conversation over snacks and drinks.

In the end, she chose…

To leap off the abandoned building in a seemingly relaxed, backward position.

It could be said that the scene in front of them completely contradicted Xu Changsheng’s earlier hypothesis that the victim was forced to jump, causing her death.

If she had been forced, the scene would not have looked as neat, clean, and serene as it did now. If not for the body still lying below, one might have instinctively believed…

That this was a tea party for middle school girls sharing secrets.

Xu Changsheng first took a picture of the scene to ensure no crucial evidence would be lost when items were moved.

Then, he slowly approached and picked up the pink envelope from the center of the tablecloth.

After a glance, he handed it to Su Ming, gesturing for him to take a look.

“Xiao Ming, take a look at this.”

“On the envelope, it says ‘Please give this to the police uncle.'”

“Why…?”

“Why would such a good kid choose to take this step?”

Clearly, after seeing the scene on the rooftop, Xu Changsheng could roughly conclude that this wasn’t a case of forced murder but rather had a high probability of being a suicide.

However, even with suicide, the wrist injury that appeared after the fall needed a reasonable explanation.

Su Ming was equally surprised, but his curiosity was more about the scene on the rooftop.

Earlier, because of the unusual position in which the victim fell, he had already mentally prepared for the possibility of something being off.

At this moment, Su Ming focused on the pink envelope in his hand, then gestured to Xu Changsheng.

“Brother Xu.”

“I’ll open the envelope and see what’s inside.”

“I have a feeling there’s still something off about this case, and I hope this letter might give us some clues.”

Xu Changsheng waved his hand lightly, signaling Su Ming to open it.

He himself squatted down, carefully inspecting the straws in the AD calcium milk and the edges of the spicy strips’ packaging, hoping to find another person’s DNA trace.

Right now, the most crucial thing was to understand the events of this case and find the person who had been chatting with the deceased here.

Su Ming focused entirely on the envelope and slowly opened it. Inside, beautiful, delicate handwriting appeared.

[Hmm, sorry, police uncle, did I cause trouble for you? I’m really sorry, I hope it hasn’t caused too much trouble.]

[By the way, police uncle, you don’t need to waste time finding the murderer. This was my decision, and no one else is involved, no one forced me to do this.]

[As for why I made this decision? It’s because I feel like whether I’m here or not doesn’t matter. Some people are just destined to be unnecessary burdens, and I’m so tired… really… so tired!]

[So I just want to relax completely, without ever worrying about staying awake.]

[I’ve heard a saying before that when a person disappears from others’ memories, it means they are truly gone from this world. Some people will always be remembered, some will be forgotten after a hundred years, and some might disappear completely in just a few years.]

[Well, for me, I’ll probably only make others sad for a few months, and after a few years, people will forget me and I’ll be gone from this world.]

[If there is a next life, I want to become a blue whale in the ocean, because it’s big enough, strong enough, free enough, and precious enough to be seen at first sight.]

[Sorry for saying so much, but this is my own decision, police uncle, you don’t have to keep investigating.]

[Wait, let me curse once more…]

[To hell with this shitty world, I never want to come back in the next life!!!]
