I sat on the edge of the bed, replaying last night's events in my mind.
From killing Li Xiang and that woman, to dismembering and hiding the body, and then cleaning up the scene, every detail was etched in my memory without a single omission or confusion.
Li Xiang rarely contacted his family, so no one noticed when he went missing.
But the problem was that woman.
I had no idea who she was. Would the murderer come looking for me?
In the darkness, I felt a metal square.
It was a phone.
To be precise, it was a Nokia 8250.
That model was the latest trend at the time.
I remembered clearly that this phone was the first gift Li Xiang had ever given me.
But now, this phone belonged to that woman.
In the dark, I fumbled to turn on the phone.
It was dead.
I forced myself to suppress the tension in my heart and found the girl's contact list.
To my surprise, there was only one contact in her list.
That person was named Ya Tou.
In addition, there was a text message about a job interview:
"Tomorrow at 9 AM, go to Dongshui Street, Four Seas Foot Spa, second floor to meet Manager Wu for an interview. Bring your ID."
I was taken aback.
So she was also going for an interview?
No wonder she had been sleeping with Li Xiang.
With that thought, I searched for the woman's ID card.
It showed a very young face.
The person in the photo had long hair and bore a slight resemblance to me.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that we were essentially the same person.
Loneliness, confusion, desire, struggle… we had both experienced the same life.
As I thought about this, a sudden surge of emotion welled up inside me.
I wanted to live in her place.
Perhaps this was the only way I could save her.
So, early the next morning, I took her ID and keys and quietly entered her room.
There was only a box in the room, filled with the girl's clothes.
In addition, there was a recruitment poster for Four Seas Foot Spa on the bedside table:
【Hiring several female foot massage therapists, ages 18-40. No experience required; free training provided. Base salary of 1200 yuan plus commission.】
I took the box and the poster back to my room.
After washing my face, I put on the girl's clothes.
As dawn broke, a red glow appeared in the east.
To my surprise, the interview process went exceptionally smoothly.
The manager asked me just a few simple questions before letting me fill out the application form.
I don’t have an ID card, only a photocopy with the name Li Li written on it.
The manager glanced at it and asked, “Is your name Li Li?”
“Yes.”
“Did you change your name?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Why did you change it?”
“I like this name.”
The manager smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.
The interview was over.
I was taken to the manager's office, where I met a man named Xu Qian.
He wore sunglasses and had his hair neatly styled.
I could tell right away—he was blind.
The manager said to me, “You’ll be working with Xu Qian from now on. He will help you get familiar with the environment here.”
"And let me tell you about the rules and regulations here."
"Okay."
From that day on, I started working with Xu Qian.
Although Xu Qian was blind, his hearing was exceptionally sharp.
He could hear better than I could see.
He took me on a tour of every room in the shop and introduced me to all the staff.
To my surprise, the employees here were not young.
Some were in their thirties, some in their forties, and even a few in their fifties.
Among them were those who had served time in prison, those who had been divorced, some who had been trafficked, and others who were here out of necessity.
But without exception, each of them had their own story.
Xu Qian led me around and brought me to a room that didn’t have a sign on the door.
