Chapter 14

Zhong Minglang also saw the document, his face full of disbelief. He picked up where Captain Li left off and said to me anxiously:

“Ji Xia, this evidence shows that the poison was bought by Deng Xingxing. Why did you confess? What are you hiding? Tell us, and we, the police, will help you!”

I let go of my clenched fist, exhaled deeply, and slowly looked up.

“You found out, huh.”

“That’s right, I didn’t buy the poison. Deng Xingxing is the real culprit.”

The first interrogation ended quickly.

I felt a bit dazed, but I had to hold on.

I guessed the police would come back soon.

Because they would carefully examine the bodies of the three girls, especially Deng Xingxing.

This time, their investigation would focus mainly on Deng Xingxing.

Sure enough, by evening, Captain Li and Zhong Minglang entered the interrogation room again.

I gave them a sincere smile. “Officers, is there anything else you want to ask?”

Zhong Minglang’s expression was grim. “The autopsy report is out. There’s a scar on Deng Xingxing’s wrist. According to the forensic doctor, this area has been repeatedly cut over the years. Judging by the wound, Deng Xingxing did it herself.”

“Ji Xia, as a member of the same club and Deng Xingxing’s roommate, did you know she always had suicidal tendencies?”

Of course I knew. How could I not?

Or rather, which member of the Ballet Club didn’t have suicidal tendencies?

I didn’t use to.

But ever since the Orientation Gala, I did.
