chapter 12

Two hours later, I was sitting in the Police Station.

Opposite me, taking my statement, was a female officer with a neat short haircut. She introduced herself as Gu Xuan.

“So, you’re saying that Ouyang Yuehan, the daughter of the chairman of Minghe Group, killed your boyfriend He Qi and He Qi’s friend Fu An, and you witnessed the whole thing.”

I nodded emphatically.

Gu Xuan said, “According to our investigation, He Qi and Fu An are indeed currently missing.”

“Last night, there was a power outage in the residential complex where the two lived, so none of the surveillance cameras captured anything. But the cameras on the nearby highway were still working.”

“The footage shows that at 2:35 a.m., a black Land Rover drove out of the complex. This black Land Rover belongs to Fu An. The person in the driver’s seat was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, so their face couldn’t be seen.”

I became agitated. “That was Ouyang Yuehan!”

I told Gu Xuan my theory.

After dismembering the bodies, Ouyang Yuehan put the unconscious me and the remaining corpses into the trunk of Fu An’s car.

After killing Fu An, she got his keys, so she could change into Fu An’s clothes and drive his car to the outskirts to dispose of the bodies.

She dumped the remaining corpses into the river, which flowed out to sea.

As for me, she left me by the riverbank.

Gu Xuan asked, “According to your account, she sent you a message saying a third person would die tonight, but in the end, she didn’t kill you.”

“Yes.”

“Why do you think that is?” I shook my head. “I don’t know. I can’t guess what a murderer is thinking.”

Gu Xuan nodded. Just then, a sound came through her earpiece.

She glanced at me. “Ouyang Yuehan has arrived at the Police Station.”
