I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 204 The final countdown

"You said that when you entered the door, it was your grandson who opened the door for you, right?"

"Correct."

"Whether the bedroom door was closed or open at that time."

"...the bedroom door is closed."

"You said that not long after you entered the house, you heard the fall from the building. It didn't take long before."

"Did you go to the bedroom or get close to the bedroom and try to talk to your son and daughter-in-law during this period?"

"No."

"No? You came to look for your son. You should have come with anger. You didn't call your son after you entered the house?"

"Because I heard the couple arguing in the living room, so I didn't go there."

"what are you doing then?"

"Spoken a few words to my grandson."

"Say what?"

"I said... my dear grandson, you are here... that's all."

"……you you……"

"Little brother... are you okay?"

in the text.The plot continues.

Lin Yi asked the father of the deceased man sitting opposite him alone.

The other boy and the ex-wife of the deceased man were left on the other side to wait.

Lin Yi's eyes were red and bloodshot,
As he asked, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.
Gritting his teeth, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't keep asking.

Because just now, the weird countdown skipped the last hour,
If the danger of death an hour later is unavoidable, then his life has but the last hour left,
"It's okay..."

Eyes red, muscles tensed all over,

Lin Yi stopped trembling all over, looked at the father of the deceased man, and asked,

"What did you hear that the deceased couple were arguing about?"

"I didn't... hear clearly."

The father of the deceased was a little frightened by Lin Yi's appearance,

At this moment, Lin Yi's eyes are red, his face is ferocious, and his bulging veins are indeed a bit scary.

Lin Yi quickly realized in the eyes of the deceased's father,
He turned his head and looked around the restaurant,

In the restaurant, it's not meal time, it's very quiet, except for the waiter, there are only this table and the mother and child on the other side of the table waiting to be questioned.

"call……"

Lin Yi let out another breath, clenched his fists tightly,

Look at the father of the deceased again.

"Didn't hear a word?"

"Yes, they closed the door. Although they made a lot of noise, they couldn't hear clearly. It seems to be because of the children."

"About the child?"

"Yes, it seems that I heard a sound...but I don't know if I heard it right..."

Lin Yi recorded a few strokes on the paper with the pen in his hand.

staring at the dead father asked,
"Did you bring anything with you when you came?"

"I didn't bring anything."

"Well... you go and rest for a while, and call your son's ex-wife over."

……

"...Sir, what do you want to ask..."

The man's ex-wife was wearing old clothes, and her finances were much poorer than the deceased's.

The face is also full of wrinkles and grooves, and the skin is rough and aging beyond age.

Facing Lin Yi's questioning again, he was a little nervous, and he clenched his hands tightly on his lap.

"You said you entered the house after your ex-husband's father. When you entered the house, what did you see?"

"Dad, he is talking to the child."

"Well, what are you talking about?"

"Just a few words of concern..."

"Um... did you talk to them?"

"No."

Lin Yi looked at the woman and paused.

The woman became a little more nervous, and added another sentence,

"Not long after I entered the house, I heard a loud voice, and I hadn't had time to speak."

"Have you ever entered the bedroom after hearing the sound?"

"Yes, the sound came from over there. In addition, the sound of their quarrel suddenly disappeared, so I went in to have a look."

"All in?"

"They're all in."

"Um……"

Lin Yi couldn't help tensing up anymore, because a chef in the restaurant was holding a knife,

Walked over the side.

Lin Yi couldn't help but look at it, and waited for the passing chef to pass by before turning his head.

"Sir, are you all right?"

"It's okay... Huh..."

Lin Yi rubbed his face, then simply stood up from the seat,

"Come out with me. Go and sit on the bench outside."

Lin Yi got up and walked outside,
The woman went over, called the other two, and left the restaurant.

……

Outside the restaurant is a small square.There is a bench at a distance from the side,
There are not many pedestrians crossing the road, and vehicles are not allowed to cross the road.
Such an open environment gave Lin Yi a sense of security.

But the weird countdown in front of him didn't change because he changed places.
At this moment, there is less than half an hour left.

Lin Yi felt as if his heart was being clenched, and his head was hurting badly from not having enough rest.
Even sitting on the bench, sweat was still streaming from his forehead.

"...Sir, do you suspect that we killed people..."

After sitting down again, the woman was still standing, she asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi turned his head, looked at the woman, and said after a while of silence,

"A man dies for a reason, no matter what, he will die for a reason."

"I just want to find out what the cause of death is, not suspect anyone."

Lin Yi's temples were a little bulging,
He also wondered what his cause of death would be if he was going to die in 20 more minutes.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that his heart was tightly clenched again, beating violently several times.

"You sit down."

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and Lin Yi continued to ask with some difficulty.

"After entering the room, what did you see?"

"The bedroom is empty, one window is broken."

"Um……"

Lin Yi paused and asked another question,
"Does your son often go to your ex-husband's house?"

"Every week goes by."

"Your son likes being with your ex-husband? Every week goes by, won't your ex-husband's current wife have any objections?"

On this question, the woman was silent for a while,

Then replied,
"The child likes to play with computers, and his father has them at home. Every time he goes there, his father will give him a lot of pocket money, so he loves to go."

"You shouldn't be very happy. The nearby monitoring shows that you were near the community at five o'clock in the afternoon that day, but you haven't entered it yet."

"...I came to pick him up when I finished my work. I want to wait until the time comes, and I will leave when I receive him."

"Well...you...what is the reason for your divorce. "

"Domestic violence."

"It doesn't look like a good person."

"Call your son over here."

"it is good."

……

"... What games do you like to play?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, the originally nervous boy froze for a moment.

"Mission Glory."

"Then why didn't you play that day?"

"They were arguing next door, and it annoyed me, just like my parents used to."

"Well, you like going to your dad's?"

As the weird countdown approached, Lin Yi's face turned pale,
The tinnitus in the brain was severe, buzzing, and the heart was beating violently, beating up and down.

"You... like going to your dad's..."

Lin Yi panted heavily and asked intermittently.

The boy lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said,
"Whenever I'm home my mom keeps telling me she's having a hard time raising me, and I know that, but I don't want to keep hearing it...my dad doesn't say that."

"Well, isn't your dad's current wife mad at you for coming here often?"

"I don't know. My dad rarely leaves me alone with her."

"you are lying!"

Lin Yi was panting heavily, and there were only 3 minutes left in the countdown.
"I do not have!"

The boy stood up at once, very excited about Lin Yi's question,
At the same time, he turned his head to look at his parents on the other side,
But at this time, Lin Yi couldn't care anymore,

The countdown that decreases by one minute and one second is like the footsteps of death,
chasing after him,
Lin Yi is like a drowning man, unable to grasp a straw,
feeling out of breath,
It's like a person who has fallen from the sky, his heart is tightly clenched, and he keeps mentioning it but never falls to the ground.
Where does the danger, the deadly danger come from!
Lin Yi was first fearful, then angry,
Looking around but seeing no more people and impending danger,
If the fatal danger does not come from the surrounding environment,
Where did that come from!

Lin Yi tightly clenched the pen in his hand,

Where is it!what exactly is it!
Lin Yi looked around and noticed the excited child,
And the old man and woman who came over because they were worried about the children, paused.
