"He was the first person in the world who showed me pure kindness."
"At first, she just came to the orphanage as a volunteer, helping the children make their beds, playing games with them, teaching them to read and write, and bringing them various gifts..."
"Gradually, she discovered that I was isolated from other children..."
Lu Wensheng's slender fingers gently stroked the man's Adam's apple, and her tone was gentle, "But she neither asked why, nor did she try to teach others not to bully children..."
"From that day on, every time she came to the orphanage, she would bring me a special gift."
"Then she smiled and told me not to let anyone else find out..."
"She was the first person to hug me tenderly and tell me how cute and smart I was..."
"Before she praised me, I always thought... I must be ugly, withdrawn, and unlovable... Otherwise, why, why did those people never target, isolate, or bully others, but me..."
"I told her these words..."
"She looked at me with a very sad look in her eyes, and finally touched my hair and told me seriously that it was not like that..."
"She said that in the world of crows, swans are guilty. It's because I'm too beautiful, cute, and smart that everyone dislikes me..."
"She told me to study hard so that I could leave the orphanage when I grow up..."
"She secretly gave me her saved pocket money. During holidays, she would carefully avoid everyone and take me out to eat alone..."
"This went on for several months, and then one day, she suddenly disappeared and never came back..."
Lu Wensheng's clear almond-shaped eyes suddenly revealed traces of sadness. She curled the corners of her lips, seeming to be laughing, but also seemed to be crying. "And just the day before she disappeared, she was still smiling and telling me that she had found a new job with a higher salary than before."
"Once she has saved enough money to be able to adopt a child, she will come to the orphanage and take me out..."
Wen Qingyan stared at the girl who slid her hand down his neck little by little without blinking, his eyes dark.
"I waited for a long time, but she didn't show up," Lu Wensheng said softly, "so I secretly ran out to find her..."
"I found her rental house, but discovered that the owner had changed."
"I asked people who lived near her where she had gone, but no one told me..."
"They all said that there was no such person..."
"Everyone says that, as if her existence is just an illusion of mine, and there really is no such person in this world..."
"But I know..." Lu Wensheng whispered, "It's not true."
"Under my pillow, there are hair ties and hairpins she gave me."
"Under the tree in the yard, there's a wishing bottle she gave me."
"Under the rocks by the pool, there's a book she bought just for me..."
"I remember her name, I remember her fingers touching my hair, I remember her smile..."
"I remember she told me that when she saved enough money, she would take me away from the orphanage..."
"Then I suddenly fell ill," Lu Wensheng's clear eyes began to darken. "On a rainy night, I had a high fever and collapsed outside her former rental house..."
"When I woke up, I was in another unfamiliar rental house," Lu Wensheng laughed. Her slender, soft white body leaned over slightly, close to Wen Qingyan's ear, and whispered, "That was the old scavenger who lived nearby. Occasionally, when she secretly took me out to eat, we would run into each other."
"She would greet the elderly warmly, and they would smile and say, 'You brought your sister out for dinner again...'"
"Perhaps because I looked so pitiful, the old man looked at me and was silent for a long time before telling me not to look for her anymore, because she wouldn't come back..."
Lu Wensheng lowered his head and buried his face in Wen Qingyan's shoulder. "Then I found out that the day after she said she would take me away from the orphanage, she was hit by a car on her way home from get off work..."
"The murderer was a twelve-year-old child. He had a conflict with his family, and in a fit of rage, he drove his family's car onto the road and hit and killed a woman who was just returning home from get off work..."
"She died a horrible death."
"The head was knocked off, the body was broken into several pieces, and blood was all over the ground..."
"After hitting her, the murderer showed no fear. Instead, he looked at her broken body and clapped his hands and laughed."
"He arrogantly told the people around him that he was a minor, his family was rich and powerful, and that he had killed someone. Go sue him, go sue him..."
"In less than a day, her body was taken to the crematorium and reduced to ashes. No one knew where it was thrown. All the surveillance footage disappeared, and those who knew about it were collectively silenced."
"She just like that, like a wisp of duckweed, completely disappeared from this city..."
Lu Wensheng leaned on Wen Qingyan's shoulder. After a long moment, he slowly said, "I am the only one who remembers... that she once came to this world."
Wen Qingyan's slender fingers moved, and for a moment, he seemed to want to put his hand on the girl's bare shoulders in his arms, wanting to make a comforting gesture.
The moment this subconscious action came to his mind, Wen Qingyan frowned.
He answered her question in a calm tone, "Did you kill them?"
"Yes," Lu Wensheng said, "I spent a month observing the family's daily routines through various channels."
"Then I discovered that at every fixed time, the family would arrange a group outing in order to show the outside world a scene of 'family harmony'."
"I spent the whole night studying the various structures of the car."
"Then, when the family was leaving again, I found an opportunity, got under their car, and tampered with it..."
Who would be wary of suspecting an eight-year-old girl?
Who would have thought that an eight-year-old child, with a cute and pitiful appearance, was calmly planning to kill someone?
Wen Qingyan looked at the girl standing so close to him, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
"That family died tragically," Lu Wensheng said with a soft laugh, "They were all still alive when the car exploded."
"Crying, screaming...desperate and longing, calling for help from passersby."
"But when faced with extreme danger, people are indifferent."
"Just like when she died, there were so many people around, everyone saw it, they looked at her with pity, pointed, discussed, felt fear, felt regret...but no one stepped forward."
"The whole family was burned to death in that car."
"This time, no matter how the murderer cried, accused, begged for mercy, or asked for help, saying he was just a child, he was powerful, he was in pain, he didn't want to die... no one came to save him."
Wen Qingyan's slender fingers slightly turned the black Buddhist beads on his wrist, and allowed the young man in his arms to take off his coat.
"The third person I killed..." Lu Wensheng's voice was filled with laughter, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be... Madam Lu.
