Seeing the police arrive, the young man carefully placed the photograph in his hand on the counter next to the cash register.
Then, he raised his hands and walked step by step toward Heath Hale and the others.
A few officers around Heath Hale hurried forward to check the five deceased individuals. They found that every one of them had stopped breathing; they were beyond saving.
Meanwhile, the passersby who had been lingering outside, curious about what was happening, crept closer.
When they saw the five people around the small dining table, they couldn't help but scream, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead! The owner's whole family is dead!"
The crowd of onlookers outside erupted in an uproar.
'They were fine just a moment ago. How could they all be gone so suddenly?'
This time, without Heath Hale even having to say a word, the officers still outside proactively cordoned off the scene from the onlookers.
