The bandages that had covered her eyes were finally removed, revealing the once beautiful but now hollow eye sockets of the girl.
Xin Zi thought to herself: Ruined like a broken relationship.
She stepped closer to the girl and gently said, "The hospital can fit you with a prosthetic eye."
Xiao Qing shook her head expressionlessly. "Who would I wear it for? Who would I be able to see?"
Suddenly, Xin Zi changed the subject. "Roth has been officially detained."
Xiao Qing paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. "He deserves this."
The Female Intern stared at her for a long while before finally speaking up. "Isn't the cost too high?"
"What do you mean?"
Xin Zi sneered. "This one or that one, he had to choose one. You know who he would ultimately choose."
"He chose to acknowledge our relationship."
Xin Zi shook her head.
"No, he chose his wife. He always has." The girl's hollow eye sockets fixed on her.
"You think you know something? You know nothing at all." She smiled darkly.
"On the contrary, I know everything."
In a calm and steady tone, she said, "You can't see the way he looked at you before he left that day. He finally had a chance to start over, but you wouldn't let him go. Roth, he loves his wife. He hates you for destroying his happiness."
"His happiness... he loves his wife... ha ha..." The girl laughed loudly.
"When he was at his lowest, where was she? When he needed comfort the most, where was she? He wants to summon me at will and dismiss me just as easily? No, I cannot accept that."
"So you meticulously orchestrated all of this just to ruin his plans."
The female intern was not surprised by her madness. "You may have won this round, but you've lost the overall game."
What exactly happened in the city that night?
Following Xin Zi's advice to investigate, Yan Qin discovered shocking results and realized that the girl was not surprised by any of it.
"When Xiao Qing asked him, 'Did you really do nothing that night?' I knew he must have done something, and it was far more serious than blinding her."
"But we have no evidence. He's a police officer; he knows how to cover his tracks perfectly."
"Not quite," the girl chuckled. "But for every action he took, he has to admit to at least one of them. And once he admits to one, it becomes easier."
"In the end, he admitted that it was indeed he who blinded your eyes," Xin Zi said with a smile. "Because I told him that if he didn't admit even this, I would share my deductions with his wife. Who knows? Maybe she doesn't trust him very much, especially when she learns he might have killed her lover."
They say that detectives rarely have happy families.
Perhaps it's because their work is too busy and fraught with danger.
Roth was promoted to Deputy Team Leader at the age of twenty-eight. He was pleased, but it was uncertain whether his young wife shared in his joy.
When did the bond between the couple begin to fray? Especially after the appearance of his wife's first love.
Xin Zi had Yan Qin investigate all the deaths that occurred in the city that night, including accidents.
At nearly the same moment Xiao Qing was stabbed, a man on the other side of the city died in a traffic accident due to drunk driving.
No one would suspect foul play in his death, except for Xiao Qing, who was about to lose her sight on this side of the city.
“Roth killed his wife's lover and disguised it as an accident because he wanted to save his marriage.”
The narrator continued with a smile, “He might have been momentarily disheartened while with you, but that doesn’t change the fact that he still loves her.”
“But he couldn’t let that person’s death appear as murder. His wife’s affair would make him the prime suspect. But a traffic accident wouldn’t raise any questions.”
“He didn’t need to provide an alibi because he could disguise a murder flawlessly. What he didn’t realize was that he actually needed an alibi that night.”
“It’s not surprising. He chose to admit to blinding you. He would rather have his wife hate him for betraying her husband than for hating the one who took away her love.”
“Because he loves her.”
“He didn’t blind your eyes. He committed murder on the other side of the city. That was his best alibi.”
“Why did Xiao Qing do that?”
“She forced him to announce their relationship to the world in the most brutal way possible. Because the worst outcome isn’t a love that ends without a trace; it’s that the other person never acknowledged it.”
“This is the most painful price paid for love that I have witnessed.”
“Love?” The girl smiled faintly, “I only believe that someone can hate to that extent. I don’t believe anyone can love to that degree.”
The girl first covered her eyes with a black cloth. The sky gradually darkened, and there wasn’t a single passerby in sight.
As she had practiced countless times before, she slowly walked into the alley two streets away in the darkness. This was the final rehearsal.
She wasn’t sure if she could endure the excruciating pain and still complete everything in true darkness.
What about him? Would he be able to do it again tonight, a hundred miles away? Who knows?
The girl took out the prepared Lead Wire. Then she raised her wrist and slowly brought the two wires toward her eye sockets. The dim light of the Street Corner could not reveal the resolute and enduring expression on her face.
The moment the sharp object pierced her eye, an intense pain made her body tremble.
In the darkness that would accompany her for a lifetime, she thought of his diary. It was filled with his emotions for his wife and his determination to gamble everything for her. Not a single word mentioned her.
The profound emotions she had entrusted with boundless courage and hope had never been acknowledged in his world.
She had never truly seen the man she loved. It would be better to fall into eternal darkness.
