Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

"School surveillance showed that Liu He went outside the school on his own initiative, and his mobile phone and other communication tools did not reveal the reason why he did so."

"Other people's comments on Liu He are generally positive, but some people also believe that Liu He and Xu Meir have an improper relationship. However, they have no clear evidence, and Xu Meir herself has denied it."

"Based on previous cases, we focused our investigation on Xu Meir. The surveillance footage on the day of the incident showed that Xu Meir had not left the school, and there was no evidence that Liu He had harmed or was likely to harm Xu Meir in the future."

"Xu Mei'er is not popular in school. There are many negative comments about her in No. 4 Middle School, such as her chaotic relationships with men and women and her improper occupation. After investigation, we found that these comments are not true."

"It is important to note that the cause of death for each victim is different. No fingerprints of another person were found on the victim, nor were certain habits of the murderer found. We cannot determine whether the murderer is the same person."

"In fact, we have no clear evidence for our suspicions about that mysterious boy."

"Also, there is a boy in the senior year (A) class who made a similar judgment to ours. We will conduct an in-depth investigation into this."

Li Qi tapped the table with his fingers. "I'm sure you all know that the higher-ups take this matter very seriously. The most important thing right now is to solve the case as quickly as possible, calm their anger, and restore the image of Wuming City and the South District. Other things are not important."

His tone was firm, yet contained the arrogance and indifference of a superior: "Since that mysterious boy won't show up on his own initiative, we'll find a way to make him show up."

Lin Xin looked confused: "What do you mean?"

Li Qi: "According to your judgment, he loves Xu Meir and kills everyone who hurts her. So when she is hurt again, will he appear?"

Lin Xin frowned: "This..."

Li Qi interrupted her: "It would be best to get Xu Meir's cooperation on this matter, but if she disagrees..."

He didn't continue speaking, but everyone present understood the implication.

Looking at the people in the office with complicated expressions, Li Qi continued, "The deadline given to us by the higher-ups is one month. Do you know what the consequences will be if we fail to solve the case in one month? Will we still be able to sit here peacefully by then?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's mood fell. Yes, they all knew what kind of person the ruler of Wuming City was. What's more, among the dead were relatives of the people above, and they would not let them off easily.

"Lin Xin," Li Qi looked at her, "You have done a good job during this period. I watched the interrogation video and Xu Meir seems to trust you very much. You will be responsible for talking to her about this matter and try to get her cooperation. However, you must also be prepared that she is in cahoots with him."

"I've seen this happen a lot. Many people pretend to be innocent, but they are actually the most evil people."

Lin Xin: “…Yes.”

When Xu Meir walked into the living room, she found that the man had not closed the door. The sound of water flowing could be heard outside the door. She took a look and returned to her room and closed the door.

She opened the calendar on the bedside table and saw that there was less than a month left until the day the original owner had circled with a black marker.

She looked at the calendar quietly, then stood up and opened the curtains. There were several cars parked on the street, and no pedestrians.

This world is about to end.

The breeze blew her hair, which danced lightly in the air and gently caressed her cheek with an indescribable tenderness. She lowered her eyes, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

When she walked into the living room again, the man just walked out of the room. When he saw her, his expression froze, and then he showed an unnatural smile: "You're back."

"Ah."

The man continued, "I have to go to work. Go buy whatever you want to eat."

After saying that, he left quickly.

The man didn't seem surprised at her sudden return home. Xu Meir looked at the man's back thoughtfully. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
