Alex had been listening carefully to my story,my past.
"So your father was your Number 1 adversary. What about Number 2?"
I showed a relieved expression and continued,"The day before I went abroad,I was talking to Amanda by her bedside,and she woke up."

"So,because you were going to replace her,you killed her,"Alex scolded.
I smiled and said sarcastically,"Interrupting others is very impolite."
"She pleaded with me to end her suffering,"I murmured softly.
"Why?"
"She lost her legs in that car accident,"a mist formed in my eyes.
"She had a great talent for dancing.She was so beautiful when she danced,"I stared blankly at Alex,a tear streaming down the corner of my eye.

"We talked for a long time.And then on that clear night,she left me forever."
"So she was Number 2,"Alex continued.
"So,Officer Thompson,does this story sound familiar to you?"
I stared at him with cold eyes.

His expression gradually became flustered,"I...I...You mean I was the one who hit Amanda?"he asked in surprise.
"So you remember.Now everything started because of you,"I paused,"So it should also end with you."
Alex fell silent.
Mark reminded from the side,"You have 8 minutes left."
"Before I die,can you solve the puzzle for me?"Alex looked at me with a dazed expression,his voice extremely gentle.
"Okay,what do you want to know?"
"Why did you kill the other seven people?Did they also have so-called'crimes'?"
I said appreciatively,"Well,this is the prodigy of the police force we know.You've hit the point."
I sat down,"The first body you found,Jason.Does that sound familiar?"
"Your brother?"
I thought for a moment and refuted,"He doesn't deserve to be my brother."
"Why should the grudges of adults be imposed on children?"
I lifted my skirt and showed my right thigh,"You asked me before how this scar was made.He burned me," I said.
Alex's eyes changed from anger to calm.
I continued,"When he grew up,he was just like his father,a complete bastard."
The second one was the stepfather of one of my patients.He raped his stepdaughter;
The third one was a woman who left her child in the hospital to go on a date.Eventually,the child didn't make it through the rescue and lay in the morgue for three days before she came to the hospital,and she even seemed a bit happy;
The fourth one...
The seventh one was my stepmother.She was responsible for everything I had suffered.
I talked about all this calmly.
Suddenly,I got very excited.
"By the way,I killed her in this room.That night,I hid her under the floor where you slept.Early the next morning,as soon as you left,I sent her to Mark's house through the door behind you.That's how the whole drama unfolded."
Alex said,"Even if they were guilty,you shouldn't have involved yourself and become like them."
"What about you?You still weren't convicted,"I snapped back.
After a few seconds of pause,I spoke again,"So this is called judgment!"
"This is using violence to control violence.It's not advisable!"Alex shouted.
Mark said indifferently from the side,"3,2,1,a new day has come."
He stood up excitedly and picked up the long knife.
"Do you want to do it?"
I hesitated,"You do it.I..."
Mark stepped in. “I'll handle it,” he said. “You two had a connection, I get it.”
After saying that,Mark took two steps forward.
I turned around and smiled.
Mark stabbed the knife into Alex's heart.Alex didn't make a sound.
I could see he had some strength in him.
Before Alex died,he tried his best to make a sound,"I never lied to you,Amanda."
On the morning of the 25th,I dialed 911.
"Hello, this is Amanda. My boyfriend, Alex, has been murdered at our home."
