Chapter 9
- Dad? I was stunned for a moment, turned and looked around, furrowing my brow, and said, "Dad is paralyzed at home, he's not here." Mentioning Dad, I suddenly realized that I had been at the police station for a long time, and my husband was alone at home, unable to move normally.
What should I do? "I want to go back." I stood up, the handcuffs on my hands rattling, and angrily said, "Can you guys release me?" "That's not possible." Officer Liu shook his head, "Mr.
Mu, you are a murderer, we cannot let you go." "What Mr.
Mu?! What are you talking about? I am Zhao Ying!" I suddenly woke up, stared at my daughter firmly, and said, "You're not the police at all.
Muyin, you've done something bad again.
You're really going too far!" Muyin covered her face and cried, "Dad, wake up, you're not Mom, you're a man!" "Muyin, you're talking nonsense again!" I erupted in anger, "Why don't you just die?!" My daughter was frightened and took a step back.
The female officer hugged her and said coldly to me, "Mr.
Mu, if it wasn't for your daughter's cleverness, finding a way to break the window and escape, she might have really died at your hands."
"What nonsense are you talking?!" I shouted.
The policewoman took out a mirror and handed it to me.
The clean surface of the mirror reflected the image of a woman - long hair, floral dress, fair skin, and red lips, very beautiful.
"Ha, look, I am a woman!" I pointed at the mirror and shouted, "I am right, you want to harm me!" Officer Liu impatiently stood up and pulled my hair.
I touched my smooth head and let out a scream.
The person in the mirror also screamed - broad shoulders, flat chest, when they opened their mouth to scream, their red lips split open like some kind of animal.
Officer Liu was not satisfied, he grabbed a tissue from the side and forcefully wiped my face, then placed the mirror in front of my eyes.
"Now, are you still a woman?" The smooth mirror reflected the face of a man - my husband's face.
I see him every day, there's no way I could mistake him.
No...
if I am my husband, then who is the husband at home? My bedridden husband...
"My husband, the husband at home..." I trembled all over.
Officer Liu had a somewhat complex expression, mixed with a hint of disgust, and said, "This is your husband at home." He pushed a few photos in front of me.
In the photos, a woman's body curled up in a freezer, looking very peaceful.
"After Ms.
Zhao died in a car accident, you took the opportunity to kill the driver, and with the driver and Ms.
Zhao's body, you returned to the old house with your daughter.
You buried the driver's body in the backyard and disguised yourself as Ms.
Zhao to live nearby.
You have delicate features, and even when dressed as a woman, no one recognizes you.
Every day, you make your daughter feed and care for Ms.
Zhao's body.
When your daughter refuses, you beat her.
Later, when she resisted, you beat her so badly that she was covered in blood and locked her in a small cabin.
Your daughter almost starved to death, but luckily she escaped through the window and called the police.
Otherwise, we would never have known what you did." Officer Liu's words were like a knife, piercing something solid in my heart.
Vaguely, certain images seemed to flash in my mind.
The dimly lit street, a loud thud, a body rolling to the ground, and fresh blood slowly seeping out like paint.
The person lying in the blood...
was...
my wife! When I saw that scene, everything spun around, and my mind went blank.
Afterwards...
afterwards, my sanity seemed a bit unclear.
Now, with Officer Liu's reminder, I faintly remember some things.
I disguised myself as a woman to seduce the driver and killed him.
The driver wasn't drunk.
He was driving normally, but my wife rushed through a red light in a hurry to catch up to our daughter, and she was hit by a car and flew off.
She died on the spot.
Yes.
She's already dead.
I can't accept this fact.
Later, I wore my wife's clothes, applied the makeup she liked, and used her perfume...
everything was as if she was right beside me...
"You couldn't accept the pain of losing your wife, gradually believed that you are Ms.
Zhao, and even altered your own memories, thinking that you were the one injured in the car accident...
Oh, perhaps your subconscious desired this.
You hoped that it was you who died, and that Ms.
Zhao would live on..." I covered my face and tears flowed slowly.
"Mr.
Mu, your mental state has some issues, as confirmed by your daughter.
" Officer Liu said, "Confess."
"I suddenly stared at Muyin and roared, 'It was you who killed your mom, you are a born bastard!' Muyin trembled, in pain she said, 'Dad, that day you and mom were arguing, mom got so angry that she ran out and died.' I widened my eyes, breathing heavily, and shouted, 'You're lying!' I have no memory, no memory at all! 'You're lying! You're a bastard! You have already killed someone! You're a born bastard!' I nervously shouted, and the people around quickly grabbed me.
'He seems to be seriously ill!' 'Lao Liu, what should we do now?' 'Lock him up first, sigh, encountering a real mentally ill person who kills, the victim is really unlucky...' 'He is also falsely accusing his daughter...'
