Chapter 1226: Chapter 483: Recruiting Another General, Midnight Murder_3

Bang!

A loud noise erupted from behind, sounding particularly frightening in the still night.

He instinctively turned his head to check.

With the help of the dim streetlight, he saw a heavy flower pot had fallen where he had just walked. The soil scattered everywhere, and the plant inside, whatever it was, had long died.

"Murder, someone is trying to murder me!"

Zhou Can was not a three-year-old child and immediately realized with sharp awareness that someone wanted to kill him.

If he had been a bit slower to dodge just now, such a heavy flower pot hitting his head would definitely have killed him instantly.

One must know that a falling object from a high place, even just an egg, is enough to easily shatter a person’s skull.

Currently, the state has legislated against falling objects from heights because falling objects severely threaten the lives of pedestrians.

Some couples argue, and in a moment of disagreement, throw kitchen knives and bottles out the window.

It’s very easy to hit and kill someone walking below.

Shops line both sides of this street, with doors closed.

The buildings aren’t particularly high, mostly around eleven or nine stories.

Most buildings in the city center are relatively old, with eleven stories considered high. Shorter ones even only have seven or six stories.

Given that the cost of demolition far exceeds the cost of acquiring land, there are few developers willing to rebuild in old town areas.

Zhou Can looked up at the rooftop. With the aid of the faint starlight, he couldn’t see anyone.

Should he report it or not?

At that moment, some residents were woken from sleep, opening their windows to look down.

The perpetrator was prepared, surely having made thorough arrangements to escape.

Reporting now might have little effect.

Moreover, the police would likely treat this as an accidental incident.

But it might intimidate the perpetrator to some extent, and it would be ideal if they could find out something.

Even if nothing is found, having the report on record is good evidence for prosecution if the culprit is found in the future.

In the end, Zhou Can took out his phone and called the police.

In the middle of the night, the on-duty police officer quickly arrived at the scene after receiving the report.

Zhou Can provided a brief description of the incident, and the police registered his identity information and made a record of the incident.

Then they went around the front of the shops to the back of the building.

As the responding officer was familiar with the area, he easily led them to the stairwell leading upstairs. Reaching the top floor, they could see a rusty iron ladder propped up at the light well.

With effort, they climbed up; the rooftop was covered with rainproof cement slabs, with some debris piled up.

Near the street side where the incident happened, several flower pots were placed. The flowers and plants in them were mostly dead.

Three flower pots had been placed on the edge of the rooftop.

One must know that the edge was protected by a half-meter high railing. Placing flower pots on the railing itself was very unusual.

Zhou Can was about to move a pot to take a look.

"Don’t move!"

An older officer stopped him.

The officer, frowning, took gloves out of his pocket and put them on before moving a pot.

Another officer shone a flashlight at the bottom of the pot.

"These flower pots seem to have been newly placed on the railing. There’s no old traces at the bottom of the pots. Earlier, I noticed marks on the ground from four flower pots being placed."

Truly professional, they easily discover some unusual clues.

At this point, it’s basically certain someone deliberately tried to kill Zhou Can with flower pots.

Creating the illusion of an accidental death by a falling object from height.

"Take these three pots back, maybe we can extract fingerprints from them. This might not be an accident, but potentially a criminal case."

"Mr. Zhou, have you had any conflicts with anyone recently?"

"I am a doctor in the Emergency Department at Tuya Hospital, and I deal with many patients every day. Sometimes, patients don’t understand and question my medical approach. Occasionally, some family members make unreasonable requests, and after being denied, they might harbor resentment towards me. But I haven’t directly clashed with anyone. As you can see, I’m busy until now when I just got off work. When I get home, I just shower and sleep, not having time to get into conflicts with anyone."

Zhou Can was quite frustrated, unsure of who wanted to kill him.
