Chapter 1490 - Today Is The Lantern Festival (2/2)

“I’m cooking Tangyuan—it’s the Lantern Festival today,” Jiang Yuning said with a smile.

“Where did the Tangyuan come from?”

“Uncle Han delivered some this morning.”

Nian Xi was speechless.

Uncle Han worked really hard.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yuning carried over a bowl of Tangyuan, as well as some toast. The toast was topped with cheese, evaporated milk, and egg. The food tasted delicious.

Nian Xi had to admit that his cooking had improved tremendously. “We’ll be going to the mansion to celebrate the Lantern Festival today. Let’s drop by the supermarket later—we can’t go empty-handed.”

She only just finished talking when a call came from Captain Chen. “The perpetrator died in prison last night.”

Nian Xi was shocked as she quickly swallowed the Tangyuan. “Suicide?”

“I’m not sure. His corpse was sent to the forensics department for an autopsy.” Captain Chen continued, “He died quite peacefully, and the police only found out the next morning. There wasn’t any injury on his body—he looked as if he died from overdosing on sleeping pills. But how could he possibly acquire items like that while in prison? It’s really strange.”

Nian Xi agreed that it was indeed strange. “Perhaps he has some illness that we’re unaware of. It’s unlikely that he would take his own life since he wasn’t sentenced to death. He also had some mental illness, so he could’ve just been sent to a mental hospital.”

Captain Chen fell silent for a moment before saying, “I hope so. Anyway… I hope this wasn’t a case of revenge. After all, even if a policeman is injured along the way, we must still follow the law.”

“Captain Chen, what are you trying to say?” Nian Xi sensed a double entendre in his words.

“When your brother visited the last time, I told him that the perpetrator was mentally ill, so the judge might show some compa.s.sion and give a lighter sentence. Your brother got really angry and said that he wouldn’t let that guy off so easy.” Captain Chen sighed. “To be honest, knowing what your brother is capable of, killing that guy is probably…”
