Chapter 59: Just An Accident?
Luo Yanyu and Li Daijin stood at the top of the pedestrian overpass. It was a tall one, and the wind tugged at their hair as they looked down.
From this height, Yanyu could see cars speeding along the road below. It was clearly a dangerous spot for elderly people, and it was understandable why Mr. Wu believed the whole thing was just an accident.
After all, there were no confirmed witnesses—or maybe there were, but they’d chosen to stay silent, not wanting to get involved.
"What do you think, Leader? It’s totally possible Madam He just fell from here. These stairs are pretty steep," Li Daijin muttered, crouching like some kind of amateur detective.
"The guy from Golden Earth said he pushed her! I even recorded it!" Luo Yanyu snapped, frustrated.
"But... we already asked around. Even the first shopkeeper who found Madam He said she didn’t see anyone, not a man since that day is raining and deserted," Li replied with a sigh.
They had indeed done their rounds. Every witness gave the same story—an unfortunate accident. No one saw anyone else on the stairs with Madam He.
"It’s possible the perpetrator ran off before anyone noticed! And why would he lie about something like that?!" Luo Yanyu couldn’t bring herself to believe the witness accounts.
"Maybe he was just showing off," Li Daijin stood up, brushing dust off his knees. "And it’s hard to find CCTV around here. The stairs are too high, and none of the nearby shops have a good angle."
