"Is this Miss Ling Momo? I'm calling from the East City Police Department. While going through the belongings of the deceased, Lu Niange, we found a box labeled with Ling Momo's name. We're calling to verify whether Miss Ling Momo needs those items."
The caller's accent suggested he was from the north, but his speech was standard Mandarin. Li Qingshen, however, only picked up on two words from the conversation and frowned, asking, "Deceased?"
The person on the other end was startled, clearly expecting to speak with Miss Ling Momo, but a man answered instead. He quickly checked the phone number, "Who are you? Did I call the wrong number? Isn't this Miss Ling Momo's number? Hmm… the number is correct..."
"I'm her husband." Li Qingshen seemed a bit dazed. After a pause, he said, "What did you say just now? Deceased? Who is the deceased?"
