Chapter 21: Interviewing the homicidal maniac

“Say it…” I turned my head to look at him. Deep down, I was a bit hopeful. My eyes were beginning to light up again.

“Umm…!” Suyang suddenly grabbed both my hands and placed his on top. His eyes were bright and full of expression.

“Say it! Hurry!” I wondered if my guess was correct. Currently, my emotions were stirring and I was very excited. I didn’t even dare to blink because I was afraid I would miss this precious moment.

“Remember what you said about letting me see the homicidal maniac…?” Suyang tried to read my reaction.

The moment he opened his mouth, I felt my heart sank. Today, I had suffered through too many psychological blows. Is going negative really ok?

“Didn’t the homicidal maniac die from the gunshot? I can’t bring him back to life and order him to discuss how he had developed his abnormal mindset, you know?” Although I could see the homicidal maniac if he was a ghost, I didn’t want to see him again.

Suyang shook his head, his eyes were filled with longing, “He’s not dead. He’s just wounded. I need you to speak to the police department. I really want to see him. If possible, ideally, I would like to take part in the interrogation.”

“How am I supposed to do that? Interrogating the criminal happens internally! We are commoners. We cannot take part!”

“You’re different! Not only were you one of the victims, you also contributed greatly in this case. If you personally ask, they should be fine with it.” Suyang confidently stated as he grabbed both my shoulders.

“Then, that’s for me to watch. What does it have to do with you?” I pulled from Suyang’s grasp as I exercised my muscles and laid back in bed.

“I can follow you! Don’t forget. You promised me this. If you go back on your words, I will….”

“What will you do?” I arrogantly raised my chin and gazed at Suyang.

In one second, Suyang went from a ferocious face to a smiling face. He stroked my head like I was a puppy. “Our goldfish is so pretty. She will definitely keep her promise, right?”

“What? Goldfish?” I glared at him.

Suyang quickly waved his hands, “No! It’s Yixin! Our Yixin is so pretty. She will definitely not go back on her words….”

I silently berated.

As of now, he has not shown any signs of regret or made any apology. This was completely opposite to what I had expected. I didn’t want to hear him speak anymore and got up in a whoosh.

I turned to Suyang, “I’m going to wait for you in the car.”

Suyang gave me his car keys and I left the meeting room without turning back.

Before the door was shut, I heard the homicidal maniac screaming behind me, “Little girl. You think you’ve won? You were only able to prevent my actions. But you will never be able to stop my hidden worshippers that I have influenced! One day, you will also receive retribution!”

Despite not wanting to, I still heard the homicidal maniac’s threat. I hurried and left the detention center and returned to the car.

After locking all the doors and closing all the windows, I adjusted my seat and attempted to relax.

I felt like I was trying to hold resentment back, but it would continuously punch me in the pit of my stomach; making it hard for me to breathe.

I waited in the car for a very long time. I had no idea what Suyang and the homicidal maniac could be talking about for so long.

I haven’t had lunch yet, and my stomach was beginning to grumble.

Around 3pm, someone suddenly knocked against the window and woke me up from my nap. I jumped a little as I opened my eyes and noticed Suyang trying to peek inside of the window. Since he was looking so aimlessly, I knew he couldn’t see me from outside.

I reached out my finger and drew the outline of his face on the car window. Ultimately, I ended at the tip of his nose.

I thought it was rather fun, and took a while before I finally let him in. I pretended I had just woken up and I stretched my body, “Why did you take so long?”
