CH 63

During the whole day, Lin Shun felt a bit ill at ease.

Pale face, plus the thick dark circles around the eyes, he looked rather peak and pine.

He had mown for a whole day, which made him even more upset because of the enormous noise.

Not until dusk did he finish his job, mowing the lawn.

He finally caught a breath and put the lawnmower into the shed. After he grabbed a few bites and cleared himself up, he went back to his room.

Sitting on bed for a while, he jumped off the bed suddenly. He lied down by the bed, stretched out a hand for a wooden box under the bed.

He put it on the table, opened it and took out a beautiful stone. He wondered he could have enough money for a lifetime if he sold it.

He comforted himself, thinking, “I will quit a few days later. No one would find out what I did.”

Knock! Knock!

Someone was knocking on the door.

“Who is it?”

He was startled. As he was asking, he closed the box anxiously and put it back under the bed quickly.

“It’s me, Ji Yue.”

Li Shun got more nervous on hearing it was him. He quickly swept off the sweats on his forehead and then took a few deep breath trying to make himself look normal as usual.

“Coming. Wait a sec!”

He opened the door and saw Ji Yue with a black cat in his arms. He then asked with a smile, “Mr. Ji, what can I do for you?”

Ji Yue scanned all over him and sensed something different. But he still wore a smile on the surface and asked directly to the point,

“Today I am here to ask a few questions about Xiaomei.”

“Xiao…Xiaomei?” Li Shun’s fingers holding the door trembled. He tried to explain,

“She and I were not very close. I was mowing the lawn the day she died. So I’m afraid I don’t know a lot about her death. And I already told you everything I know that day.”

“I know.” Ji Yue nodded and continued, “Someone told me yesterday that Xiaomei was pushed off the roof by a man in black. I remembered that you wore a black outfit that day.”

“Mr. Ji, you must be mistaken. I wore a gray coat, not a black one.” Li Shun raised his voice and argued.

Obviously he was kind of emotionally out of control.

Ji Yue cast a glance at him and got right to the point, “Stop pretending. You killed Xiaomei and I have evidence.”

Speaking of which, he took a bottle out of his pocket.

When Li Shun saw the bottle, he was mortified with his eyes wide open. He shoveled Ji Yue away and ran away instantly.

“Meow!” He wants to escape!

Xia Liang hopped off Ji Yue’s arm and dashed forward onto Li Shun’s shoulder, scratched his face with her sharp paw right away.

“Ah!” Li Shun didn’t expect that this black cat could be so tough. His face bled due to the scratch. He was outraged because of the pain. He grabbed the little black cat and tried to throw her on the ground.

“Liang!”

Ji Yue shouted with worries. He ran toward quickly and directly threw himself at Li Shun.
