章節 6: Chapter 6 Sui Yi, you're almost eighteen~~ (asking for votes)
Just these four words, just because every time she skillfully managed to absolve herself of any responsibility, various coincidences, various suspicions, various impossibilities, yet not rejected by the law.
—She was the one protected by the law: a 17-year-old high school girl.
Clang, the chair was pushed back with a leg, Sui Yi stood up, her hands slightly curled, "Sadly, it seems you are not in the mood to question me; thus, I need not waste my time."
Questioning Sui Yi was a disgusting affair because from start to finish not a single piece of information was gained, and, you would attain many intangible feelings of self-humiliation.
It was like a starving lion furious to the extreme yet helpless against a soundly sleeping, sweet hedgehog.
To raise a hand was to feel the sting.
Unable to move.
Of course, you could treat her with the extreme cruelty seen in novels and dramas, forcing her, enduring it, and then still she would leave the police station unscathed.
In a few days, those policemen would mysteriously expose some acts that the public would find disgraceful enough to challenge the law, and then naturally be discarded by the government, becoming the scum of society.
She was someone who would inflict self-harm yet ensured those who hurt her lived a life worse than death.
The veteran officers were reluctant to deal with Sui Yi, but were also unwilling to clear the way, watching as she safely left from before their eyes for the thirty-fifth time.
"Sui Yi, you are about to turn eighteen, right?"
Lin Quan looked at Sui Yi with a grim expression, "You are a smart person, you should know that the law also has its limits, once you turn eighteen... you will know the law is not as gentle as you imagine..." (PS, here, I'm modifying the law setting in the novel that minors are until the age of eighteen because the plot demands it)
Sui Yi paused in her steps, Zhang Xiao was somewhat eager to see fear on her face, but saw only a pair of unrippled eyes.
"Yes, almost eighteen..." she clenched her fists, taking a step forward.
"However, the law is never limited, it's only cold to the weak and boundlessly broad for the strong,"
"Sadly... I have always been one of the weak,"
Her expression was sparse, yet intensely unforgettable.
Zhang Xiao almost felt this was because her looks belonged to a type not easily forgotten, not because he tasted the indescribable bitterness from her words.
A weakling.
Her tone had a pause.
This is separate.
The weakling of Dugu.
Lin Quan's face darkened even more, but with a glance, those policemen, surprised and somewhat reluctantly, cleared the way.
Sui Yi left.
Moments later, Zhang Xiao bit his lower lip, very unwilling,
"To let such a skilled criminal leave? Just this troublesome and cunning now, what will she become later, ..."
He too had come from a criminal investigation background, how could he not know how terrifying a minor who could keep her slate clean under such circumstances would be in the future!
Thirty-five times!
The Nanxun Ancient Town police squad is no waste! Yet not once could they incarcerate her! Even if she was young and received special favor in the law, but...
This statistic is still too frightening.
Zhang Xiao secretly looked at Lin Quan, hesitated, and said, "Captain, I remember in criminal cases, some extremely dangerous criminals are very young. They share a common name—criminal prodigies! Solitary, defiant, smart, with severe anti-social sentiment, such people..."
Lin Quan did not look at him, only muttered softly.
Not certain if anyone heard clearly, but anyway, it seemed like he said...
— "This is the last time"
He had an inexplicable premonition that this Sui Yi would not just graze by the edges of the law as in the past, maybe she would completely trample over the law's high-voltage lines, or perhaps...
While thinking this, Lin Quan's gaze shifted, suddenly his eyes froze under the chair.
There, was a drop of blood.
Bright red, bright red!
At that moment, under the strange gazes and whispers of many customers, Sui Yi's pace was neither fast nor slow,sporting a somewhat jumpy, somewhat cold expression, at least a significant change from the composed demeanor inside the private room.
As soon as she stepped onto the street, her pace quickened alarmingly, swiftly blending into the crowd.
A moment later, hidden in the darkness of an alley and leaning against the wall, she spread her hand, her face deathly pale. Lowering her head, she saw in the tender flesh of her palm, a piece of broken mirror stuck fiercely, as if it were a red-hot branding iron affixed to her palm...
Blood soaked her palm... Cold sweat covered her forehead, Sui Yi's lips turned white as she bit her pale lips.
"What in the world is this thing... how could this..." Sui Yi felt this transaction truly set her up... duped by two people!
Blood dripped onto the Blue Stone Slab, and Sui Yi dared not linger. She had to quickly find a place to remove the shard!
After a while, she disappeared into the dark shadows of the alley.
In the evening around six or seven o'clock, noises from poor residents echoed from an old bamboo building, lights dim or dull yellow flickering, revealing unknown shadows everywhere.
In a room at the seventh floor of the building, Sui Yi sat on the floor, surrounded by a heap of tissues stained crimson.
She spread her palm open, looking at the piece completely embedded in the flesh of her palm, the edges bloody and blurred, blood slowly seeping out. Unstoppable.
She had tried several methods, but ultimately all failed.
On the floor, a basin covered a pool of blood, drip by drip the blood fell into the basin, forming a thick layer of coagulated clots with fresh blood quivering on top...
Sui Yi thought all this was somewhat ludicrous.
But she couldn't laugh.
Should she go to the hospital?
"If I go to the hospital, I'd probably be isolated immediately, and then... ha, the hospital, is even more tyrannical and ruthless than the police station..."
Sui Yi sighed. The last place she wanted to go was the hospital.
Just as she was resigned to her situation...
A clattering noise came from her door.
It sounded like someone was trying to unlock the door, though it also didn't sound quite right. But no matter which it was, either possibility spelled fatal danger for her!
She had the only key, so the one outside... must be breaking in illegally~
Who could it be? The police? Or...
No matter who it was, Sui Yi didn't want to see anyone at that moment!
Snap, the door was suddenly pushed open! The force seemed like it was enough to rip the door apart, and the figure standing in the doorway looked indeed like a fierce god of death, holding a knife with blood dripping from the blade.
He glanced into the dark room.
A dark figure rushed out, with a whoosh of wind!
His eyes flashed fiercely, and he viciously swung down his blade!
He certainly knew who she was and was set on killing her!
The wind shifted direction, Sui Yi narrowly dodged the blade, whoosh~~~ The blade chopped into the door frame, but Sui Yi had already slipped past the side of the attacker...
Clang, the knife was drawn, swung down from behind towards her!
Thwack!
Sui Yi jumped onto the railing, one hand on a pillar, lit by the moonlight on the edge of the seventh floor, she caught a glimpse of the attacker's face in an instant.
Fierce, covered in blood, his eyes vicious.
This face, she didn't recognize it well, but it wasn't unfamiliar—she had seen it that afternoon!
It was Hei Pi!
"Hei Pi, you want to kill me?" Sui Yi tensed up and asked, her eyes darting along the building's several corridors...
"You set me up, and still want to kill me, can't I kill you? Rest assured, you're the first... there will be others joining you," Hei Pi said with intense ferocity, his knife edge twisting in his hand. Sui Yi knew his intent to kill was exceedingly resolute, impossible to dissipate. Perhaps, something had happened that she didn't know about, making her the most unfortunate one.
