Chapter 21 Suicide again
"Don't worry, Shinichi"
"I will be measured."
Mao Lilan finally calmed down.
But her attitude of "drawing a sword to help" is still very firm, because she is born with this pure sense of justice.
Mao Lilan would not sit idly by and watch injustices like campus bullying happen.
Even if she doesn't use her fists, she must stand up and advise the two vicious bullies to correct their mistakes in time.
Of course, it is not certain whether they will be obedient or not. If the other party refuses to listen and speaks harshly to each other, or even resorts to physical violence when they disagree, then
I hope everyone is fine [bless] [bless].
"All right"
Kudo Shinichi sighed helplessly:
"But please don't cause any harm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Lilan didn't have time to answer.
At the end of the team, the skinny high school student named Aoki suddenly said with a look of horror:
"Shi, Ishikawa, look!"
"That guy standing on the edge of the rooftop of the department store opposite is not that kid, right?"
"That guy Uchida looks like"
As he read the name of the bullying victim, Aoki's face turned pale:
"Looks like he jumped off a building!"
"Huh?" Ishikawa was slightly stunned.
He immediately followed Aoki's finger and looked across the road.
At the same time, Lin Xinyi, Kudo, Mao Lilan and Miyano Shiho also subconsciously looked towards the roof of the department store opposite.
At this glance, we knew that Aoki was not joking:
At this moment, there was indeed a person standing high on the roof of the department store across the road.
He was wearing the same black high school uniform as Ishikawa and Aoki, with a brown baseball cap on his head.
The wide brim of his hat covered half of his face, and he stood with his head lowered on the edge of the rooftop of the department store facing the road, silently looking at the ground beneath his feet.
The distance was a bit far, and no one could see his face clearly, let alone read his expression.
Everyone could only see the male high school student moving forward inch by inch, as if he was in danger of jumping down at any time.
"Hey hey"
Ishikawa's expression immediately changed.
At this moment, he lacked the arrogance and arrogance of a school bully, and his face was full of horror:
"No way, are you serious?"
"That kid actually ran away and committed suicide?!"
The air at the scene suddenly became tense.
Except for Miyano Shiho, who only frowned slightly, everyone's expressions changed extremely obviously.
Among them, Lin Xinyi was completely shocked by the scene that happened in front of him:
"Why are two people committing suicide again?"
"Did I meet the God of Death today?"
There were three suicides in one day. He had never seen such a situation when he was working in the police force.
And now, no matter how shocked Lin Xinyi was by this paradoxical reality, the male high school student whose face he could not see clearly standing in the department store opposite had gradually reached the edge of the rooftop.
Half of his feet were almost in the air and he fell out. He obviously didn't come here to enjoy the wind.
Seeing this scene, the delinquent high school student named Ishikawa was obviously panicked:
"Don't be kidding"
"If that kid jumps, we will be in a lot of trouble!"
He cursed angrily, and even the cigarette butt in his hand trembled and fell to the ground.
"Yes, yes" Aoki also said with a pale face:
"He jumped off the building after being beaten by us."
"The police will definitely come to us to investigate, and maybe even reporters will come to our door!"
"" Ishikawa was silent for a while, and then he shouted nervously:
"Hey! Uchida, come down from the rooftop quickly!!"
"Calm down a little-"
"Can we not beat you up in the future?"
Ishikawa shouted towards the rooftop of the building opposite, so loud that the whole road could hear him.
For a moment, pedestrians stopped one after another.
They all looked up to the roof of the department store and saw the male high school student named "Uchida" standing on the edge of the rooftop with his head lowered and half of his face hidden under a baseball cap.
"Look, there's someone on the rooftop!"
Suddenly, passers-by were everywhere on the road exclaiming.
When they heard someone jumping off the building, everyone couldn't help but stop.
But at this moment, after everyone looked at him, Uchida on the rooftop took two steps back.
He suddenly disappeared from the sight of everyone on the ground.
Uchida seemed to have given up on committing suicide and stepped back step by step.
Due to the blocked line of sight, Lin Xinyi and others on the ground can't see him at all now, and they don't know what he did after returning to the rooftop and falling to the ground.
But no matter what, the crisis of Uchida committing suicide by jumping off the building seems to have been temporarily lifted.
"Phew, he didn't jump"
Ishikawa breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then, after recovering from the shock, he couldn't help but cursed:
"I knew this kid didn't have the guts to dance!"
"He probably just ran upstairs to scare us."
These words of self-comfort were only half spoken.
I could only hear it in the deserted alley on the side of the department store across the road.
boom!
Suddenly there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The sound was like a heavy drum, making everyone's hearts tremble suddenly.
"This this?!"
Aoki standing aside was so frightened that his face turned green:
"Ishikawa, that, that kid can't"
"You changed the direction and jumped from the side facing the alley, right?!"
""The scene was silent.
Although they did not see Uchida's leaping figure with their own eyes, everyone knew in their hearts what the dull collision just now meant.
"Go and take a look!!" Ishikawa shouted in panic.
Without any hesitation, he rushed out and ran across the street to the department store opposite.
"Wait for me, Ishikawa!"
Aoki reacted belatedly and quickly chased after him with a pale face.
Kudo Shinichi's eyes flashed on the side, and his face was filled with an emotion called "care".
Then, he followed Ishikawa and hurriedly across the road without hesitation.
Mao Lilan naturally followed her childhood sweetheart subconsciously.
And Lin Xinyi also walked towards the crime scene across the road as if instinctively.
But just then, someone called him: "Wait a minute."
Looking back, Miyano Shiho was gently tugging at the corner of his clothes.
"Why do you want to follow?" Her cold voice was full of doubts: "Are you watching the excitement?"
"Because someone died, of course I want it"
Lin Xin answered subconsciously, but got stuck in his mouth mid-sentence:
Indeed, he had forgotten that he was no longer a forensic doctor.
He no longer has to come into contact with those corpses that no one wants to approach, and endure the unbearable filth and stench.
Someone may have died in front of him, but it had nothing to do with him.
What's more, he has now easily got a good job that he once expected, which is easy, worry-free and with high salary.
Rather than running to the scene immediately, taking good care of Miss Miyano is what he should do now.
"Yes, then let's go directly"
Lin Xinyi wanted to stop.
But somehow, the words "just leave" couldn't come out of my mouth.
"You care?"
Miyano Shiho was keenly aware of Lin Xinyi's emotions.
But at the same time she found it difficult to understand:
"Why should you care?"
"This is just an ordinary death."
"And, people like us"
As he spoke, Miyano Shiho's words became unpredictable again as he didn't know what he was thinking of:
"People like us can never claim to be kind."
"We are not qualified to feel sorry for a life we have never met."
As always, Lin Xinyi couldn't understand what she was talking about.
He just thought it was Miss Miyano's youthful illness that had relapsed.
This is understandable, just like the dark alternative that was popular many years ago and was later abused by young people like "I'm sorry for being human". Who hasn't passed the second grade?
However, apart from those unclear and harsh remarks, what Miyano Shiho wants to express is actually absolutely correct.
This matter indeed has nothing to do with Lin Xinyi now.
There is absolutely no need for him to meddle in this business.
"Of course there are people who should take care of this matter."
"And I am just an ordinary citizen now. All I have to do is trust society and the police."
Lin Xinyi's mouth twitched slightly:
The level of criminal investigation shown by the Metropolitan Police Department this morning is really unbelievable.
And, despite trying hard to forget
But the figure of the male high school student wandering desperately on the edge of the rooftop just now always appeared in Lin Xinyi's mind.
Speaking of which, during these years of work, he had felt tremendous pressure and had never thought of resigning and changing careers.
But every time I received a call from the scene and saw the body of the deceased, my body would still move involuntarily.
After handling this case, I will definitely resign next time.
He thinks like this every day.
After a while, I became a master from a novice.
If it hadn't been for this sudden time travel, he might still be on the autopsy table.
"Miyano."
"Please wait for me."
Lin Xinyi sighed softly and his eyes became serious:
"I think it's necessary for me to go to the scene."
"Why?"
Miyano Shiho became increasingly incomprehensible.
"Who knows?"
Lin Xinyi looked across the road, where the male high school student jumped:
"Perhaps there is someone there waiting for me to speak for him."
