The body was filled with tubes, dotted with needle marks, as if someone were playing a game of doctor and patient with them. 0
 
Ma Yuan suspected I was involved in this matter. Yet, he couldn't find any evidence. 0
 
He stared at me and asked, "What does the killer want?" 0
 
I shrugged. "Perhaps he wants the truth to come out." 0
 
"Evildoers always get their just desserts." 0
 
Ma Yuan laughed. "Naive." 0
 
I remained silent, simply watching him. I knew his faith had already been shaken. 0
 
"So what do you think? If you were the killer, what would you do?" 0
 
I raised an eyebrow. "Why would Officer Ma think I'm the killer?" 0
 
Ma Yuan didn't answer; he just continued to look at me quietly. 0
 
I chuckled softly. "Officer Ma, are you... testing me?" 0
 
His gaze darkened, and he remained silent. 0
 
Tilting my head, I smiled and said, "If I were the killer, I would certainly..." 0
 
Bang— 0
 
A loud noise interrupted my words from a distance. 0
 
Ma Yuan suddenly stood up, looking at me with a grim expression. 0
 
I continued to smile, as if welcoming a guest. 0
 
"Officer Ma, see? What did I say?" 0
 
"Evildoers always get their retribution." 0
 
Ma Yuan gritted his teeth. "Miss Jin." 0
 
I tilted my head and smiled at him. 0
 
 
He was taken away by the police. 0
I have become quite famous recently. 0
Or rather, I have been famous from the very beginning. 0
Because I am the only one who survived after coming into contact with the old man. 0
Thus, I became a key target for their investigation. 0
But I am not worried at all. 0
After all, they have no evidence. 0
I was brought to the police station. 0
As soon as I entered, everyone looked at me with disdain, as if I were a villain who had committed countless crimes. 0
But I didn’t care. 0
They brought me back simply because I was the only one who fit their criteria. 0
Without evidence, they could do nothing. 0
In the interrogation room, Ma Yuan and an old officer sat across from me. 0
Ma Yuan looked serious: “Miss Jin, please explain the details of the crime.” 0
I blinked: “Officer Ma, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.” 0
Ma Yuan frowned: “Don’t play dumb; we already know.” 0
I smiled: “What do you know?” 0
“Did I kill Yu Fenglin, Dou Min, and Li Qiang, or did I orchestrate Xin Xin’s disappearance and death?” 0
Ma Yuan said in a low voice: “Both.” 0
I nodded: “Then please show me the evidence, Officer Ma.” 0
Ma Yuan replied coldly: “Do you think we wouldn’t trace it back to you?” 0
I laughed: “Officer Ma, you police officers need to rely on evidence when handling cases.” 0
 
 
"If there is no evidence, then please keep your mouth shut." 0
 
Ma Yuan's face turned a deep shade of anger. He suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table. 0
 
"Miss Lin, don't get too arrogant!" 0
 
"You better come clean, or else..." 0
 
I interrupted him, "Or else what?" 0
 
"Officer Ma, this is the police station; you need to be responsible for what you say." 0
 
Ma Yuan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He sat back down and composed himself. 0
 
"Alright, let's talk about it." 0
 
"Where were you on the night of August 16th at eight o'clock?" 0
 
I thought for a moment. "I was at the flower shop." 0
 
Ma Yuan asked again, "Is there anyone who can vouch for that?" 0
 
I smiled. "The flower shop has surveillance cameras; if Officer Ma doesn't believe me, I can pull up the footage for you." 0
 
Ma Yuan narrowed his eyes. "But according to our information, you left the flower shop for a while that day." 0
 
I nodded. "I went to restock." 0
 
Ma Yuan scoffed. "Restock?" 0
 
"Miss Lin, do you think that excuse is reasonable?" 0
 
"Yu Fenglin died at eight o'clock in the evening, and your restocking time just happened to be around eight o'clock." 0
 
I smiled again. "Officer Ma, your word isn't enough; evidence speaks for itself." 0
 
"If Officer Ma can find evidence, I have nothing more to say." 0
