      Chapter 11 – Overturn Cover
      by Salted Fish — Qin Yuezhang listened silently to Yan Ru's accusations and resentment before speaking in a low voice, "But none of these justify what you did wrong." Yan Ru lifted his eyelids, his gaze like a poisoned blade, cutting deep into Qin Yuezhang's eyes. "Right is right, wrong is wrong," Qin Yuezhang said, his handsome and heroic face filled with condemnation for a murderer. "I sympathize with what you've been through, but you can't use that to defend yourself." Moreover, Wei Qinzhou was Qin Yuezhang's…

      Chapter 10 – Incident Cover
      by Salted Fish — Do you know what it feels like to be abandoned and then abandoned again? Have you ever experienced the helplessness of watching your mother lie in a pool of blood while no one is willing to even call 120 for help? Have you ever tasted the bitterness of being adopted and then discarded for no reason? Have you ever felt what it's like to be cornered in a bathroom, beaten, and have your head shoved into a urinal?

      Chapter 9 – Farce Cover
      by Salted Fish — The dim interrogation room. The delicate young man lowered his head, his slightly overgrown bangs covering his eyes, making his demeanor appear even more somber. Several days of interrogation seemed to have drained his energy, yet he still stubbornly refused to say anything. With a clang, the iron door opened. Yan Ru's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't even bother to lift his head. "Hello, Yan Ru. My name is Qin Yuezhang." The man who walked in sat across from Yan Ru, placing his hands…

      Chapter 8 – No Memory Cover
      by Salted Fish — Twenty years ago, Xue City experienced a highly publicized case known as the Highway Schoolgirl Sudden Death Case, which had a nationwide impact. An eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her life was walking alone on a rarely traveled suburban highway in broad daylight when she unfortunately encountered a down-and-out middle-aged man with ill intentions. Seeing the girl's beauty, the man, taking advantage of the deserted surroundings, boldly dragged her into the bushes by the roadside with the intent…
    • Chapter 7 – The Unspoken

      Chapter 7 – The Unspoken Cover
      by Salted Fish — Does the son of a murderer also become a murderer? Or is it that inferior genes are inherently passed down through bloodlines, generation after generation? Yan Ru bent down and pulled the red-and-green woven bag out from under the bed. He borrowed the small knife I carried with me to try and undo the tightly sealed stitching of the bag's opening. But after fumbling with it for a long time, he only managed to tear a small slit in it. Watching his awkward movements, I heard murmurs from the…

      Chapter 6 – The Rabble Cover
      by Salted Fish — The interrogation reached a stalemate for five or six days. During this time, Yan Ru was detained in the holding cell, spending most of it sitting on the interrogation chair. If it were anyone else, their psychological defenses would have long since collapsed. But strangely, despite the days passing, Yan Ru—though physically haggard, his face much paler—remained mentally resilient, showing no signs of breaking down. Instead, he frequently taunted them, sharp-tongued and relentless. Several…
    • Chapter 5 – Theft

      Chapter 5 – Theft Cover
      by Salted Fish — "I really don't remember, officer. You won't get any answers from me!" The young man slouched in the interrogation chair adopted a rogue attitude, fiddling with the silver handcuffs on his wrists, making them clatter noisily. "Actually, I'm here to ask for your help too. Since you're so capable, why don't you help me figure out where I hid the body?" The young officer, lacking the composure of a seasoned cop, slammed the table and rebuked, "Cut the nonsense! Since you've chosen to turn yourself in and…

      Chapter 4 – The Question Cover
      by Salted Fish — "You're saying you're the murderer?" Inside the interrogation room, Lu Anchi, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, personally interrogated the suspect. He was no longer young—his hair had turned white at the temples for various reasons—but every wrinkle on his face was etched with caution and solemnity. The young man slouched lazily in the interrogation chair, nodding carelessly. "Yeah. What, do I need to prove I'm the murderer just to turn myself in these days?" Lu Anchi sneered.…
    • Chapter 3 – Incident

      Chapter 3 – Incident Cover
      by Salted Fish — How could roses be associated with a murderer? But someone had done just that. When the first heavy snow of winter arrived, a shocking rose murder case occurred in Xue City. At the Old Locust Tree Field of Xue City University, the Lovers' Monument in Xue City Park, and the Shepherd Girl Statue in Xue City Square, blood-soaked roses were scattered one after another. These were all public spaces in Xue City with massive daily foot traffic. This showed how brazen and arrogant the killer was,…

      Chapter 2 – Pause Cover
      by Salted Fish — Xue City Square sits at the heart of the city's liveliest district. The musical fountain has turned it into a favorite gathering spot where young people to date, capture photos, and share their moments online. If not for strict government control, it would undoubtedly become the preferred territory for lively middle-aged and elderly women practicing their square dances. Just as dawn broke, the rare winter morning light pierced through the clouds and the cold steel high-rises, precisely illuminating the…
