"Nuannuan, Grandma," An Linlin trotted over.
Her clothes were a bit damp, and droplets clung to her hair; giving her head a slight shake, she panted and said, "It seems like someone died outside, the police are here."
"The police are here? So soon?" Ji Shunuan raised an eyebrow.
The gunshot had just sounded; even if someone called the police, it should take them an hour to get up the mountain, right? But now the police had arrived so quickly, something was clearly odd.
"Yeah, the police just got here, they cordoned off the area. No idea what's going on, I didn't dare get too close, afraid they'd arrest me," An Linlin spoke in a hushed tone.
Ji Shunuan fell silent, taking a seat to the side and glancing in the direction of the bamboo forest.
"The police arrived so quickly right after the suicide, it's as if they were nearby," Ji Shunuan murmured softly.
