"However, the people after that were not killed by me."
"I know, I just meant the case of Zhuo Xiaoman. Who was that person? You should be able to say now!"
"Don't you already know?"
"We do know, but we still need your testimony."
"I will speak."
"I still have some things I don't understand," Su Jin'er suddenly said.
"Was that thing tied to our dormitory door done by Ruan Hongmei?"
"No, it was me. I just wanted to frame her. She is really careless; it was so obvious that she didn't notice."
Su Jin'er laughed happily, relieved it wasn't her.
"Then what about the baby footprints found in Wang Xiangxiang's dormitory?"
"That's even simpler. The way to confuse the police and not let you catch me is to mislead their attention; the footprints are fake."
"Ah! It's that simple."
"Jin'er, you're very lucky because you've met a boy who loves you very much and several true friends. I'm really envious of you."
"You too, with someone as infatuated with you as Hao Hongtao, why didn't you cherish him? In the end, you even killed him with your own hands," Su Jin'er sighed and shook her head.
"Yeah! How could I be so foolish? But aren't people all the same? Happiness that is clearly right beside us is always overlooked, while we desperately chase after distant happiness that doesn't belong to us. Jin'er, cherish the friends around you. If there's a next life, I really want to be friends with you, not enemies."
After saying this, she looked up at the ceiling and said, "Captain Xing, can you let her go? I don't want her to know what I'm about to say."
Su Jin'er stood up and left. Her mood was heavy; she didn't feel any relief from solving the case. In fact, wasn't Qin Yu also a victim? She just magnified her hatred and used the wrong approach. If she had exposed that person after being hurt, these things wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have ended up on a path of no return. Although there were still some things she couldn't understand.
Forget it; she'll just wait until Captain Xing comes out to ask him!
In fact, she had already guessed who the person behind it was. It was just that Qin Yu not letting her listen was also for her own good. So, she didn't eavesdrop on their conversation outside the interrogation room but went directly to the detention center. There was still one Killer they hadn't caught! And this Killer was truly terrifying.
She tiredly rubbed her temples, hoping they could catch this Killer soon!
Captain Xing looked at Su Jin'er leaving and said to Qin Yu, "Go ahead! Who is that person?"
Qin Yu took a deep breath and then said, "It's the dean of our school. That box of cigarettes was also given to me by him. I think you should have found out what he has been doing behind the scenes. I had thought about exposing him, but he kept threatening me, making it impossible for me to speak up. Now that everything is out in the open, I'm not afraid anymore."
"So that means you also knew about him digging a secret room under the Morgue to grow Poppy?"
"Yes, he took me to see it once. I was very scared at the time, but more than that, I was excited. The dean is over thirty years older than me; as long as I followed him, all his money would be mine after he died. So I tried my best to keep this matter under wraps, thinking everything I did was flawless and that you would never find out. I didn't expect to fail in the end."
Jiang Jie handed the prepared statement to Qin Yu and said, "Take a look at this. Once you're done and have no issues with it, please sign here."
Qin Yu didn't even glance at it and signed directly; perhaps she had simply given up hope!
After bringing Qin Yu back to the detention center, Captain Xing went to find Su Jin'er.
Su Jin'er was sitting in the detention center's room reading a book.
"How is it? Has she said anything?"
"Yes, she has said everything, but I can see you still have some doubts."
"Yes, there are still some things I don't understand."
"She's next door; why don't you go ask her?"
"Okay!"
Qin Yu sat on the bed, looking out at the sky through the window. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she remained quietly seated.
"Do you know? A few days ago, I was actually happy because you were in jail! But now it's my turn to sit here and look at the sky outside."
Su Jin'er didn't respond; she just sat down beside her.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"
"What was that face I saw on our dormitory window?"
"Actually, that's quite simple; it was just a piece of paper. You know that our dormitory isn't as secure as it looks. If someone breaks the window on the balcony, they can easily climb in. So putting a ghost face on the glass is actually quite easy. All you need to do is use our clothes pole from the neighboring balcony to press that piece of paper against it."
"No, before, I felt like someone was watching me. If that face was just a piece of paper, I wouldn't have felt like I was being stared at."
"Then I'm not sure. Actually, I never thought that face would succeed; maybe someone was helping me from the shadows!"
"So you mean, that wasn't your doing?"
"Yes! Now that it's come to this, there's no need for me to lie to you. In fact, many times, I feel like heaven is helping me from behind! When Lu Lili and I were disguised as the White-Clad Woman to attract your attention, we encountered a woman who startled us. Strangely enough, she didn't walk; she floated, almost like a piece of paper."
"Paper Man?"
Qin Yu's words puzzled Su Jin'er. She originally thought that the Paper Man was also created by Qin Yu, but it seemed not to be the case.
"That night when you were with Chu Feifan, how did you do it? The speed was incredible; it was impossible to achieve. In the blink of an eye, you were right next to us."
"You must have heard the laughter first! At that moment, people's defenses drop. Fear arises from within; when fear is generated, people see what they think in reality. You felt my speed increase, which is true. The reasoning is simple: I was wearing roller skates. Since your ears were captivated by that laughter, you couldn't hear the sound of the skates at all. That's why I could reach you so quickly. I didn't expect Chu Feifan would willingly die for you."
"But why were his injuries so strange?"
"It was still that fake hand that scratched you; that dead man's hand was also coated with the same poison used on you. Because it appeared extraordinary, I didn't actually poison him; otherwise, he would have been dead already."
"Thank you for explaining all this to me and for showing mercy to him."
"No, you're mistaken. I'm not doing this for you; I genuinely like Feifan. But I know I'm not worthy of being with him, so you should cherish him well."
After coming out, Su Jin'er felt very sad. Compared to Qin Yu, she considered herself fortunate. She had a harmonious family, loving Dad and Mom, a caring boyfriend in Chu Feifan, and good friends like Linyuan, Ruan Hongmei, and Zuo Yi. It was just unfortunate luck that led her to encounter things she shouldn't have faced.
However, Qin Yu once said that she originally intended to threaten herself into doing those things, but she mentioned that the person claimed they couldn't handle it. What was the reason for that?
Could it be because of Chu Feifan? But why would that person be afraid of Chu Feifan?
"How is it? Have all your doubts been resolved?"
"Yeah, more or less! The person Qin Yu mentioned must be difficult to deal with, right? What are you planning to do?"
"Well, you don't need to worry about that. We still have to deal with that psychopathic killer, so I think you should leave the detention center. Otherwise, how can we lure her out?"
"I was thinking the same thing, and I have exams next week, so I really can't stay in here."
After saying that, Su Jin'er took her books and left the detention center.
Looking at the sun outside, she suddenly felt like she hadn't seen sunlight in half a century. It seemed that people really need sunlight. She tilted her head back and took a deep breath.
"Hey! Are you leaving or what? How long are you going to stand there?"
A voice suddenly called out. On the side of the road, Chu Feifan was sitting in a car waving at her.
"Why are you here?"
She closed the car door and asked.
"We're here to pick you up! Besides, this case has been solved, but that most terrifying case is still out there! Who knows if that psychopath will suddenly show up and harm you!"
"Uh! It's broad daylight; I think even he wouldn't have the guts!"
Time passed quickly, and nothing happened during that week. They quietly reviewed their studies and took exams. It was during this quiet time that she suddenly felt that everything that had happened before was so unreal, as if she had just experienced a terrible dream. Now awake, they were still just ordinary students living ordinary lives, planning to graduate and find a suitable hospital to work as doctors, and then simply live their lives.
This was quite good too.
Jiang Jie still lived with them. Although nothing had happened in the past week, they dared not let their guard down, after all, they still didn't know when that psychopath might suddenly appear.
At three in the afternoon, Su Jin'er was sitting in her room reading when Jiang Jie pushed the door open and walked in.
"It seems pretty calm lately. Do you think it’s because Qin Yu's case has been resolved, so this psychopath is afraid to act?"
"Maybe he's looking for an opportunity! I don't think he would give up so easily; otherwise, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble. He even killed that nurse. I really feel like he’s not human at all."
Thinking about this made Su Jin'er angry. Who was that person? How could he do such things? Why did he have to kill those people?
