"I'm investigating them as unexplained deaths," Zhou replied carefully. "The medical examiner has confirmed that all four Chen family members died of apparent natural causes, heart attacks, stroke, and drowning due to loss of consciousness. But the timing is... unusual. Five deaths in one family within twelve hours. You have to admit, it raises questions."
"I can see how it would seem suspicious," Lu Yuze agreed. "But grief can be a powerful killer, Detective. The family loses their heir in a violent accident, and the shock cascades through the remaining members. It's not unheard of."
"No, it's not," Zhou admitted. "But it's rare. Very rare."
