Chapter 642 Suicide?



As the sun began to set over the beach, Fein, Voli, Aoi, and Sofia walked along the shore, their feet sinking into the warm sand. The sound of crashing waves filled the air, along with the chatter and laughter of other beach-goers.

Fein led the way, his eyes scanning the crowd for a good spot to set up camp. Voli trailed behind, his arms crossed over his chest as he scanned the beach with a critical eye. Aoi and Sofia walked side by side, chatting animatedly about their plans for the evening.

Finally, Fein found the perfect spot, a secluded area with a clear view of the ocean. The four friends spread out a large blanket and began to unpack their bags, pulling out snacks, drinks, and various beach games.

As they settled in, the conversation turned to memories of past vacations and adventures they had shared together. Sofia laughed as she recounted a hilarious mishap from their last trip, and Aoi chimed in with her own funny story.

Voli watched them with a small smile on his face, but his eyes held a hint of sadness. Fein noticed this and nudged him, a silent gesture of support.

The group spent the evening playing games, swimming in the ocean, and watching the sunset. As the sky turned a deep shade of orange, Fein suggested they make a bonfire.

They gathered driftwood and built a small fire, huddling around it as the night grew cooler. They talked and laughed for hours, the sound of the waves and crackling fire providing the perfect backdrop.

As the night wore on, the group began to pack up their belongings, ready to head back to their hotel.

...

The four were all gathered in their hotel room after spending their first day at the beach. They were all sitting on the couch, sipping drinks and sharing their impressions of the beach and the hotel.

Fein was the first to speak up, "Man, that beach was amazing! The water was so clear and the sand was like velvet. I feel like I could spend my whole vacation there."

Voli nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and the hotel is great too. I love the pool and the hot tub. And the food at the restaurant was amazing. I had the best seafood I've ever had in my life."

Aoi chimed in, "I loved the little shops and stalls on the beach. I bought so many cute souvenirs. And the people are so friendly."

Sofia nodded in agreement, "The locals are really nice. They even gave us some recommendations for the best restaurants and bars in the area."

Just then, a hotel staff member knocked on their door and entered the room. "Hello, I hope you're enjoying your stay with us. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Fein looked up at the staff member and grinned, "Actually, yes. Can you tell us where we can find the best party in town tonight?"

The staff member chuckled, "Well, there are a lot of great places to go. I can recommend a few if you'd like."

As the staff member listed off some recommendations, the group exchanged glances and grinned mischievously. It was going to be a wild night.

...

The sun was high and the water was inviting. The group decided to hit the seashore after their morning routine. They changed into their swimsuits and grabbed towels and sunscreen. The sound of the waves crashing onto the shore was soothing as they walked towards the water.

Fein was the first to dip his toes into the water, feeling the coolness rush up his legs. He turned to the group, "Come on, guys, let's swim!" he exclaimed.

Voli and Aoi quickly followed suit, diving into the water with enthusiasm. Sofia was a bit hesitant at first, but seeing the fun the others were having, she joined them.

As they played in the water, they attracted the attention of some kids who were playing nearby. The kids gathered around them, fascinated by their antics. They started to play with the group, building sandcastles and splashing around.

Fein and Aoi teamed up, creating a massive sandcastle with intricate details, while Voli and Sofia went for a leisurely swim, soaking up the sun. The kids, in turn, were delighted with their new friends, giggling and squealing with delight.

As the afternoon progressed, the group became tired and hungry. They headed back to the shore, exhausted but happy. The kids reluctantly said their goodbyes, thanking them for the fun they had.

Fein turned to the group, "That was fun! I haven't played with kids like that in ages," he said, grinning.

Aoi nodded in agreement, "It was nice to let loose and forget about everything for a while."

Voli chimed in, "And I got a nice tan!"

Sofia laughed, "You're going to be the toast of the town when we get back."

As they settled back into their beach chairs, they enjoyed the peacefulness of the sea and the warmth of the sun. It was a perfect day, and they were grateful for the moment of respite it brought them.

...

As the hotel staff gathered around the lifeless body of their coworker, the police arrived on the scene. One officer approached the group and began asking questions.

"Can someone tell me what happened here?" he asked, looking around at the solemn faces of the staff.

"We don't know," one of them replied. "We found him like this."

The officer examined the body, taking note of the details. "Has anyone seen or heard anything suspicious in the past few days?"

The group shook their heads, looking down at the ground.

"Well, we'll have to investigate further, but at this point, it appears to be a suicide," the officer said.

One of the staff members spoke up. "But that's not possible. He seemed perfectly happy and content just yesterday."

The officer sighed. "I understand your concern, but we have to go with the evidence we have at the moment. If anything comes up, please let us know."

With that, the officer left the scene, leaving the staff to mourn their loss and grapple with the shock of the situation. As they dispersed to return to their work, a few of them whispered to each other, wondering if there was more to the story than what the police were willing to investigate.

Days turned into weeks, and life at the hotel resumed its usual routine. But the mystery of the staff member's death remained a haunting presence, lurking in the minds of those who had known him. Some of them began to conduct their own investigations, trying to piece together any clues or information that might shed light on what really happened.

Despite their efforts, however, the case remained closed, officially ruled a suicide by the authorities. But for those who knew the truth, the memory of their coworker and the unanswered questions surrounding his death lingered on.
