"This Taoist was persuading the woman not to jump; he might have been hit," said an enthusiastic old man chiming in from beside me.
Several other witnesses claimed they saw Beichen walking in circles downstairs, saying something to the upper floors.
It drew countless people to sigh and lament.
A young man, in the prime of his life, eager to help others, yet he ended up risking his own life.
But judging from the height of the fall, even if he shouted, it would have been very difficult for his voice to reach the top.
The likelihood that Beichen was so foolish as to be persuading from the ground floor was incredibly low.
I furrowed my brow and asked the old man, "Do you remember what the Taoist said then?"
"I didn't hear it clearly; I just heard him speaking," the old man replied with a wave of his hand.
I pondered deeply, "If even you couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, it's even less likely that the person about to jump from the building could have."
