77. A Strange Death

The police and medical personnel arrived at the campus that day after a male economics student was found dead. He had jumped from the 13th floor of the campus building, dying instantly. The police immediately secured the crime scene to determine whether the student's death was a murder or a suicide. Several witnesses were questioned, and the CCTV footage from the 13th floor was reviewed, but nothing suspicious was found.

Odel sat on a bench in the campus garden, her fingers gripping the hem of her shirt anxiously. The atmosphere around her was still filled with whispers and horrified gazes from other students who had witnessed the tragic incident.

"Terrifying... I just saw him yesterday in the economics class. I can't believe he's dead today," murmured a passing student.

"Do you think he killed himself?" his friend responded.

"I don't know. What I do know is that he was always a loner."
