I anxiously looked towards Cheng Yu, hoping he would say something.
However, at that moment, I suddenly realized something was not right—the noisy and bustling floor below had become eerily quiet.
The sound system downstairs had also been turned off, and a burst of footsteps echoed from the stairway entrance, followed by a stern shout, "Police, routine inspection!"
My breathing almost stopped, wondering why I had such bad luck tonight.
I had first run into Mr. Li and was nearly taken away by him, then stumbled upon a murder case, and now I encountered a police spot check.
Once the body was discovered, I might even be implicated.
My heart was pounding as the footsteps grew nearer, and just then, Mr. Li suddenly looked up, yelling at the top of his lungs, "Help, someone has been murdered here, help!"
I never expected Mr. Li to suddenly pull such a stunt.
