My mother was at the police station, being interrogated multiple times. Later, the media reported that she had committed suicide by biting her tongue. In reality, she didn't die; she only bit her tongue and was left with a mouth full of blood. However, she still had to undergo further questioning.
I asked the police, "Why do you have to wait until she’s dead before you’ll let it go?" The police were at a loss. If Yan Qingmin had indeed succeeded in committing suicide, they would also bear some responsibility.
After that, I left the police station. The police notified me to go collect my father's and Grandma's bodies. Their remains had been mutilated. Grandma's head was nearly severed, and my father's body was decayed from the neck to the abdomen. But I felt no fear at all. At worst, I would send them to the crematorium and have them burned. Then, I would scatter the ashes down the drain. It would all be over.
Captain Gao followed me to the crematorium. "I sympathize with your situation," he said. "But murder is still murder. We will cover the cremation costs. You can report to university now. Remember to keep your phone on; you may need to testify in court later."
I nodded slightly. Captain Gao said, "Once you go to university, if you encounter any difficulties, just reach out to your teachers."
"Or you can come back to us," he added.
"I remember, you haven't gathered enough tuition yet?"
"You can apply for a student loan."
I shook my head, "Thank you, but no need."
"I won't accept donations organized by the police either."
"I'll find a way to manage my living expenses myself."
"The thing I want to do most right now is to cancel my household registration."
"I hope that only my name and my mother's name will be on the household register."
Captain Gao fell silent for a moment.
"Alright, I'll write you a note."
"When the time comes, just follow the procedure to cancel your registration."
I looked at him, "Isn't a signature required?"
Captain Gao smiled wryly, "We've already established trust between us."
"I believe you won't do anything foolish."
I chuckled softly, "Can't you tell?"
"I'm a cold-blooded person."
Captain Gao sighed, "Well, that's also due to the environment you've been in."
"But I believe that deep down, you're a kind person."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept advising your mother to get a divorce."
I replied flatly, "Unfortunately, I don't have that chance anymore."
Captain Gao looked puzzled, "What chance?"
I looked at him and said, "The chance of suicide."
Captain Gao fell silent again.
He seemed unsure of what to say.
I reminded him, "You promised me you wouldn't sentence my mom to death."
Captain Gao nodded, "I keep my word."
"But you also have to promise me not to have any more thoughts of suicide."
"Your life is still long ahead."
I countered, "Is it?"
"Why do I feel like I'm about to finish it soon?"
Captain Gao frowned, "Don't think like that!"
"Your student loan has government assistance."
"As long as you study hard, you'll have a good job in the future."
"Then you can bring your mom over, and you two can be together forever."
I smiled faintly and said nothing.
Being together forever was impossible.
At that moment, a female police officer rushed over, panting.
"Captain Gao, it's bad!"
Captain Gao frowned, "Take your time and explain."
The female officer took a few breaths before saying, "It's not bad news."
"The case has taken a turn!"
Captain Gao was startled, "What kind of turn?"
The female officer replied, "The technical team just discovered that there were issues with their electrical circuit!"
"This wasn't a crime of passion; it was premeditated murder!"
