The date of death is approximately seven days ago, and in these seven days, no one has been here except the three of us.

As the clues become increasingly vague, the police are focusing their main efforts on the three of us.

The biggest suspect among us three is the young woman. She claims not to know the deceased, but a few days ago, she had a shouting match with the deceased downstairs and is also the deceased's husband's lover.

"Officer, I really didn’t do it. I was just extremely angry a few days ago.

That woman's son was being naughty and crashed into me while I was pregnant, saying he wanted to see what a miscarriage looked like.

Not only did that woman not stop him, she even watched the scene from the side.

Luckily, I was fortunate enough to escape harm.

But in my anger, I did slap that boy, and the deceased came over to scold me. That’s when the conflict started." The woman said, feeling aggrieved, "There was a witness that day; you can ask her if you don’t believe me."

The woman pointed at me.

I was indeed there that day. Due to several days of overtime, I was a bit out of sorts and took half a day off. When I returned, I happened to see the boy running towards the pregnant woman. The blur in my mind cleared instantly, and fortunately, she dodged the danger.

I nodded and said, "Officer, that's exactly what happened."

"If so, why did you go to the deceased's house later? Weren’t you afraid she would harm you?"

"Because, because…" The woman stammered, unable to explain.

"Officer, I asked her to go to my wife's house because I couldn't reach her and was worried something might have happened." The deceased’s husband suddenly interjected, clearly trying to exonerate the woman.

"Moreover, it's not just Hongyu who had conflicts with my wife. This Miss Wu here is my wife's stepsister."

I glared angrily at the man, this despicable person.

The police turned their attention to me. I nervously clutched my clothes, knowing that I had just lied, making me appear quite suspicious.

"Miss Wu, you just said you didn't know the deceased."

"I just disliked her and didn't want to have anything to do with her, so I said that." I hesitated for a moment.

"Officer, my wife's stepsister has always had a strained relationship with my wife. Years ago, over a dispute about the house, they had a huge falling out and have held a grudge ever since. It wouldn't be surprising if she did something."

"You’re talking nonsense, Li Jun. Don’t forget who helped you get where you are today. Now you want to turn on me?" I yelled, forgetting all decorum, cursing Li Jun.

"Calm down."

"Officer, although I am legally sisters with the deceased Zhang Jing, we are not related by blood.

Years ago, she and her mother remarried into my family and coaxed my father into transferring the house my mother left me into her name. If my father hadn't had some conscience left, the house I'm living in now would probably be hers.

Because of this, Zhang Jing and I, although living on different floors in the same building, have never been in contact."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

I pressed my lips together, "I didn’t want anything to do with her."

"Since you didn't want any connection with her, why did you go looking for her at her house? Don’t you think it’s contradictory?"

"Officer, her house was leaking, and it was dripping onto my balcony. I called her several times, but she didn’t answer, so I had no choice but to go up. But when I didn't see anyone, I came back."

"Wu Jin, you better confess, I know you still hold a grudge against me, but it's been so many years. Why can’t you let it go?"

"Li Jun, stop being so narcissistic. Only Zhang Jing would treat a jerk like you as a treasure."

Li Jun was my first love. When I had just graduated and started working, he was my senior. We quickly fell in love.

Later, when he resigned to start his own business, I gave him all my savings, but I didn’t expect he would turn around and get involved with my stepsister.

Although I hated him, I have let it go after all these years.

"Then why have you continued to live here?"

"This is my house. If I don’t live here, where should I live?"

"Wu Jin, I know you haven’t gotten over me. Stop lying."

Li Jun's words nearly made me laugh out of anger. Even the police seemed surprised by this melodramatic love triangle. After understanding the basic situation, they told Li Jun to shut up.

Things are getting messier and messier. Both Hongyu and I had conflicts with Zhang Jing, and the only seemingly innocent person is the young man.

"The first time you went to the deceased's house, she was still alive. Did you notice anything unusual?"

The wandering young man suddenly snapped back to reality, shaking his head blankly: "No. I just took my dog back and left."

"You said you went a second time to thank them for saving your dog?"

"Yes, one day my little Orange suddenly ran out, and I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.

Later, I discovered it was in the deceased's house, barely alive. The young boy was treating my puppy's wounds, saying he brought it back after finding it hurt. My Little Orange died not long after I brought it back.

I was very sad but couldn’t forget the deceased’s kindness, so I bought a box of milk to express my gratitude.

At that time, the lady of the house happily accepted."

The police took note of the man’s words. Since he was the last person to see the deceased alive, even though everything seemed reasonable, he couldn't be entirely cleared of suspicion.

"Officer, is there any evidence at all? If not, I need to go home. I’m pregnant and can’t afford this fuss." Hongyu grew impatient.

The police, lacking evidence, had to let the three of us go home, but they would have someone watch us.

In other words, we cannot leave this community.

I sighed, resigning myself to take a few more days off. If this continues, I might lose my job.
