Mike obviously paused for a moment before saying vaguely,"She should have died of illness.I'm not sure."
"It's impossible!"I almost shouted,"If she died a natural death,would there be so much resentment?"
"Okay,I'll tell you,"Mike sighed on the other end of the phone before saying,"She committed suicide,right here in the living room of this house."
I asked in a trembling voice,"Why did she commit suicide?"
"I really don't know much about that.It seems that she had some conflicts with her husband,"Mike said pretending to be relaxed."It is said that she took medicine and died.She passed away quickly and didn't suffer much."
I was completely stunned.
Mike casually comforted me a few words and then hung up the phone.
Suddenly,the lights in the room went out again.
It was pitch black in front of me again.
My legs started shaking like a leaf again.
I sat in the dark like a statue,not daring to move at all.
Time passed by minute by minute.I had never longed for dawn as much as I did at this moment.
It seemed like a century had passed,but when I looked at my phone,only half an hour had passed.
My phone only had 3%of the battery left.
My power bank was still on the sofa in the living room.
I still had to gather my courage to go downstairs to charge it.If my phone turned off,I wouldn't be able to contact the police if something happened.
I opened the door of the room and,by the faint light of the phone screen,I walked downstairs tremblingly step by step.
As soon as I reached the living room,all the lights suddenly came on again.
The door had somehow been opened.
There was a person standing at the door.
A woman.
