Chapter 25: Different perspectives
"As per the estimated time of death, it falls around forty to fifty minutes back. Somewhere from 3.30 to 4 PM. The movie ended at 4 PM. But according to Miss. Wu and you, it seemed the onset was around 2.40-2.45 PM. I am trying to understand the gap here."
Her brows crinkled with thought. "It surely is puzzling."
"Did you notice anything strange around the end?"
"No," Ma Zhilan commented with lament, "I almost missed the second half. I didn't expect to fall so deep asleep. I only woke up because a loud bomb blast scene broke my sleep. The screen was very bright for a second too. The boom rang so badly in my head that I had to take a minute to calm myself. But when I glanced at my neighbor again, she seemed to be still sleeping. I figured she must be like me. Took some medicine and fell asleep."
Jia then asked, "Did you hear Mrs. Dai ask for help from the person on her right?"
"I think I did...She was calling for Feng someone," she scrunched her brows trying to remember.
"Fengge. That's her son's name."
"Oh. Then I understand now. But I didn't hear much response from that side."
That gave Jia further confirmation that Dai Fengge wasn't in his seat at the time. But then what about Yin Xiaoling?
