257~ Closure~
"Miss Mo, my master has already taken care of everything for You. About what You promised my master last time......"
"Don't worry. I still remember. I'll definitely visit in person another day."
"Wonderful!"
Hanging up the phone, the Little Princess let out a long breath.
The effect from taking this ID photo turned out so good-looking. As expected of her.
The identity problem was solved, the money problem was solved, and moreover, she had incidentally driven away all those guys who came every day to disturb her peace and quiet. Life was gradually getting on track!
"Princess, the meal is ready."
Maid Xiao Xi said respectfully beside the Little Princess.
"Good! Let's eat!"
Before long, she finished the meal. As for that old man who had helped her handle a proper legal identity, the meeting time was still later. There was no rush.
Right now, she needed to register everything, then start taking the subway to her former residence to take a look.
"Xiao Xi, let's go out on a long trip today."
"Why? Princess, You've also been tired from dealing with those people these past few days. You should rest well."
"What should be let go of, it's time to let go. I just want to let go of a stone weighing on my heart."
Go there and end the traces of her having once existed in this world......
In this world, there was only Glaze Nation's Seventh Princess... no, the overseas returning Chinese national, Mo, and not that walking corpse who had already become just a shell, about to step into middle age.
"Princess......"
She could see that her Princess's heart was currently tangled. If she didn't let the Little Princess make a closure, she probably wouldn't be reconciled for the rest of her life, right?
"Fei, you just stay here and watch the house."
"Eh? I, I have to stay here alone?"
"Xiao Xi and I will be back very soon."
Taking the subway from here to that place wouldn't require too much time.
......
......
"We're here."
This was the place that had once corroded her until only a shell remained: an utterly ordinary rental room.
"Princess, this place is?"
"My former residence."
The Princess's residence in this world?
"Xiao Xi, you just wait for me downstairs. I'll handle my own matters myself."
"Yes!"
Entering this dim stairwell again, a smell of corroded iron assaulted her nose.
Most people living in this kind of place were factory workers, and aside from that were some people who came to this area for internships. She was the former.
Room 301.
If she remembered correctly, before reincarnating to the otherworld, she had paid three months' rent, so the landlord simply wouldn't enter her room to care about anything. Add to that that she originally had few friends she could contact, this kind of rental building wouldn't install any surveillance, and the door to Room 301 had simply never been opened.
However, to avoid awkwardness, she still habitually knocked on the door first.
What if someone discovered she had reincarnated to another world, and then this room became vacant and was rented to other outsiders who didn't know the situation?
"Knock knock knock......"
As three knocking sounds rang out, inside the door was completely silent. There wasn't a bit of movement. Pressing her ear close to the iron door, she could only hear the "squeak squeak" sounds of mice.
It seemed that indeed, after that time, this door to Room 301 had never been opened.
Fortunately, she always had the habit of hiding a spare key. Following her memory, she felt between the layers of the shoe cabinet, and a key appeared in her hand.
"Click......"
The instant she entered, the entire rental room could only be described with four words: too horrible to look at. The mice inside the room were frightened and scattered in all directions the instant the door opened, hiding in dark corners.
A thick stench of corpse assaulted her nose......
She remembered that before reincarnating, she had always kept the exhaust fan on. Then the door, because it had been repaired once, was made very tight. The door and windows were all closed. This stench, during this month, would only continuously be discharged toward the sewer through the ventilation pipes.
Add to that that the entire city's sewers had undergone upgraded processing, the smell almost wouldn't emerge from the sewer openings. Naturally, no one discovered that the resident of Room 301 here had long since reincarnated to another world.
Forcibly enduring the nausea, she entered the room. Looking at chunks of decayed flesh lying on the ground, she finally couldn't bear it. She ran to the doorway and began vomiting. While vomiting, she inhaled this putrid smell again, then continued vomiting once more, until there was nothing left in her stomach.
Forcibly enduring the nausea, she put on gloves and took from the drawer the thing she had always cared about. After clearing the traces of her having come to the door area, she immediately dialed the police hotline......
......
......
"Make way! Make way! All of you clear a path for me!"
His name was Chen Ze. He was the leader of the Major Crimes Unit, specifically responsible for investigating all kinds of bizarre criminal cases......
Today he received a big job. Supposedly, the deceased had been dead for a full month before being discovered!
He didn't even dare imagine what a corpse that had been rotting for a full month could possibly smell like!
"Who reported this to the police!?"
"It was me......"
After dry heaving once, the Little Princess raised her hand.
"You are... Miss Mo, right?"
Looking at the Little Princess's pale face, continuously vomiting appearance, he could only first put away his pen. After consoling her verbally, he began inquiring about the scene situation from the police officers beside him.
The person involved had become like this. How could he question her? He still had to wait for the person involved to recover somewhat.
"It's like this. This Miss Mo is an overseas returning Chinese national who came back to visit a friend. As a result, when she arrived according to the address, based on what the friend had previously said about where the spare key was hidden, she planned to go in and give a surprise. Then she discovered the deceased......"
"What was the deceased's name? What's the home contact information? And this Miss Mo......"
He always felt something was fishy. But looking at the Little Princess's face still with that pale appearance, weakly leaning on Maid Xiao Xi's shoulder, he immediately overturned his original speculation.
How could a criminal suspect possibly return to the crime scene after a month to look at their own masterpiece, then get so nauseated they vomited and foolishly report it to turn themselves in?
If it were really like that, what would the Major Crimes Unit be needed for?
"Mi... Miss, please drink some water and recover a bit first."
Receiving the water Maid Xiao Xi handed over, she poured several gulps into her mouth before showing signs of recovering.
"Miss Mo, you said you're the deceased's friend. Then may I ask if you know the deceased's information?"
As a friend who even knew the address of someone's home, even knew where the spare key was hidden, it would be impossible not to know this most basic information, right?
"......My friend's name was Xu Hanhai. He was 27 years old this year. We originally met online......"
The Little Princess began recounting the process of knowing herself and becoming acquainted with herself......
