"Who? Who did you say died? You must have gotten it wrong!"
Jiang Jiachang was stunned when he heard Tao Chunhai name the person. He even dug at his ears, wondering if he had misheard.
Of course, he wasn't the only one. Everyone else was equally shocked by the news. They had heard yesterday that the man was doing fine, so how had news of his death surfaced today? Although Su Changtou's actions before the incident had been somewhat dishonorable and unreasonable, surely they weren't serious enough to cost him his life?!
"It really was Su Changtou!" Tao Chunhai nodded emphatically. "I was shocked when I saw it was him, too. I thought I'd mistaken him for someone else. Later, I called his name, and he even nodded at me."
Although Jiang Jiachang knew Tao Chunhai wouldn't joke about something like this, he still found it hard to believe. After a long pause, he frowned and asked, "Could you tell what kind of injury he had?"
Tao Chunhai replied, "It looked like he'd been shot in the abdomen. As for whether he had any other injuries, I don't know."
When everyone heard that it was a gunshot wound, they felt the situation was complicated. It might even be a major case.
Jiang Jiachang continued, "Did he say anything at the time?"
"When he saw me, he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't get a single word out before he died. His eyes were wide open when he died, too. It was terrifying. I figure he felt he'd died an especially wrongful death." Tao Chunhai still felt shaken whenever he recalled the way Su Changtou had looked when he died.
Hearing this, Jiang Jiachang shook his head and sighed. He had known Su Changtou for quite some time
