Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the building of The Provincial Public Security Bureau, the national emblem of China reflected the golden light from where it displayed proudly under the sun.
Led by beautiful female police officer, Lu Jia’er came to a meeting room. At this moment, the room was dimly lit, and a surveillance video was being played of Lu Jia’er ‘s visit to the detention center yesterday.
Xu Lei saw Lu Jia’er coming in, he stood up and pulled a chair next to him. “Professor Lu! Have a seat here!”
Lu Jia’er did not refuse, and sat down without hesitation.
Besides Xu Lei and Zhu Yu, the psychological profiler, there were several criminal police officers who had been responsible for the case in the meeting room. Everyone was watching the surveillance video together.
In the video, Lu Jia’er and Yu Fei sat face-to-face. Lu Jia’er looked at her, “When did your stepfather sexually assault to you for the first time?”
As Yu Fei heard the question, she couldn’t help but clench her hands within the handcuffs on the table, and her expression became unnatural. She lowered her head like usual and seemed reluctant to answer the question.
“You can skip the question if you want!” Lu Jia’er said mildly.
“Last year… Last August!” Yu Fei faltered, looking down at the table in front of her.
Lu Jia’er gazed at her and then asked, “Did your sister Yu Fang know it?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t tell her at the time!” when answering this question, Yu Fei’s right hand pinched the thumb of her left hand.
“Had he raped your sister before he did it to you?” Lu Jia’er continued to ask.
Yu Fei’s blinked violently for a few times and said, “Yes!”
“Did your sister tell you about it, or did you happen to see it?”
Yu Fei did not answer this question immediately. After a few seconds, she said, “I happened to see it!”
Lu Jia’er looked at her and continued to ask, “On the day of the incident, your stepfather wanted to rape your sister and he was stopped by you?”
“Yes!” Yu Fei lowered her head.
“Can you describe the situation again from that time?” Lu Jia’er said.
Yu Fei’s hands clenched into fists and her fingers whitened with force applied to them. “It was Friday. I went home with my sister. We cooked together, ate, and then went back to the room to do homework. The demon came returned from work several minutes past eight. He was drunk and called Yu Fang’s name and mine. My sister and I shivered and didn’t dare to go out. He started to hit the door and kept hitting the door. After he broke the door open he grabbed me, took me out of the living room, and hit me with punches. My sister ran out and seized his arm to make him release me. The devil shook off her hands and she dropped to the ground. The devil wanted to force me into his room. My sister came over and begged him. The devil ignored it, and my sister bit him. The devil let go of me, but he beat my sister hard. He… he ripped my sister’s clothes, and raped her, I… I…”
At the moment, Yu Fei’s eyes became fierce and her expression was very painful.
People often express different opinions on some people or things, and often say that they feel empathy, but there is no such thing as empathy in the world. It is a story in your ear, and a scar on her heart.
A few seconds later, Yu Fei bit her lips and her eyes showed a hint of gloom and ferociousness. “I took a fruit knife on the coffee table and stabbed him to death!”
