Psychocriminalist Chapter 15

At the police station, Derek's protégé, Officer Liu, took my statement.

I acted completely traumatized, my body trembling constantly, tears never stopping.

"Sister-in-law, please accept our condolences. We'll definitely catch the killer, don't worry."

Just as Officer Liu was comforting me, the door burst open. An officer said frantically, "He, he, he turned himself in."

Officer Liu asked urgently, "Who?"

"Liam Pierce, that serial killer."

Officer Liu quickly looked at me: "Sister-in-law, I need to check this out."

Soon after, Liam and I made eye contact through the office glass. Neither of us showed any expression.

Liam confessed to all the crimes, including details of each case.

All of this I had implanted through hypnosis during his psychological counseling. I hadn't missed a single detail.

Two days later, all cases were closed.

Liam was transferred to court. I never visited him once.

Because I knew we'd meet again.

I went to pay respects to my mother.

This was my first time since returning home, and perhaps the last.

That day, the weather was clear, just like the day my mother died.

I knew my mission was complete.

I changed my name back to "Miranda Zhao."

Because that was the name my mother gave me.

Miranda—the moon—the most flawless and beautiful existence in the world.

In the end, I was sentenced to death at age 30.
