The Senior Officer furrowed his brow.
Ma Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Are you really saying you haven't done any of those things?"
I shook my head. "I truly haven't."
Ma Yuan squinted. "Then why did you run away?"
I smiled lightly. "I just didn't want to go to jail."
Ma Yuan snorted coldly. "Miss Lin, you'd better keep being this assertive!"
With that, he and the Senior Officer walked away.
I chuckled and narrowed my eyes. "How foolish."
The Senior Officer and Ma Yuan strolled down the street.
The Senior Officer suddenly said, "Don't you think this Miss Lin is a bit strange?"
Ma Yuan frowned. "What's strange about her?"
The Senior Officer pondered for a moment and replied, "She seems to know a lot about our situation."
Ma Yuan paused in surprise.
The Senior Officer continued, "Not only does she know what we've discovered, but she also knows what our next steps are."
Ma Yuan frowned deeper. "Are you suggesting…"
The Senior Officer said, "It seems like she's been guiding us all along."
Ma Yuan thought for a moment before exclaiming, "No way!"
The Senior Officer was taken aback. "What do you mean no way?"
Ma Yuan replied, "Your assumption is incorrect."
The Senior Officer furrowed his brow again. "What do you mean by that?"
Ma Yuan explained, "Miss Lin does know about our matters, but she isn't deliberately guiding us."
The Senior Officer was puzzled. "How do you know?"
"She told me," Ma Yuan said.
The Senior Officer looked puzzled. "Why would she tell you these things?"
Ma Yuan shook his head. "I don't know either."
The Senior Officer furrowed his brow and murmured, "That's strange."
I sat in the flower shop, sipping my tea gently.
I smiled, set down my cup, and pulled out a document. "It's been so long."
"Only now do you understand?"
The Senior Officer calmed down and began to piece together all the fragmented clues. He realized that the previous cases were all independent incidents. They seemed unrelated at first glance, but in reality, they were orchestrated by a group of victims working together.
This group included a janitor, a chemistry teacher, a taxi driver, and others. Each played a significant role in different cases. Some were injured, some broke their legs, some went blind, and some lost their sanity... But they all shared one common trait—they were victims.
They had been arranged by Miss Lin to participate in various cases, each taking on different roles. Some were hurt in the incidents, while others died. Yet their suffering collectively formed a perfect crime.
This crime had no flaws.
"Even if the criminal plan is perfect, it can't possibly leave no trace," Ma Yuan said.
I chuckled. "Who said these cases had to be connected?"
Ma Yuan was taken aback.
I continued, "No one knows what the victims are doing."
"Their actions, how could they raise any suspicion?" Ma Yuan furrowed his brow. "But..."
I interrupted him, "Moreover, the doctors who took direct action have also developed psychological disorders due to their mental trauma."
"And the other victims have no direct evidence of the crime."
Ma Yuan fell silent.
He was trying to find a flaw in my argument.
I smiled and took out a mental health assessment report. "I have a history of mental illness."
"So my actions cannot be classified as criminal."
The Senior Officer frowned. "Miss Lin, you may misunderstand the definition of mental illness."
"Although you have a mental disorder, your mental state was normal when planning the crime."
"Therefore, mental illness cannot be an excuse for your acquittal."
I chuckled softly. "Senior Officer, you might be misunderstanding my point again."
"I'm not trying to evade responsibility."
"I just want to tell you that I am a patient."
"I am sick, so I need treatment."
"And the way to treat me is to ensure that those criminals receive the punishment they deserve."
"That is my purpose."
The Senior Officer frowned again. "Miss Lin, I advise you not to be stubborn."
I smiled lightly. "I'm not being stubborn."
"I'm just doing what I should do."
"I have always protected the weak; I have always done the right thing."
"So my actions can only be called revenge."
