After Mike's emotions stabilized.
His mental state was no longer suitable for further interrogation.
The police placed him in the rest room and let him take a short rest.
Next,they needed to find the last person among the five,Vivian.
According to the phone call,this girl had a good relationship with Emily.
Or rather,this person should be the only one in the class who had never spoken ill of Emily.
This was what Mike said.
Because Vivian was a bookworm.Usually,except for reading,she had little interest in everything else.
The four of them were all locals and could be considered to have grown up together since childhood.
They seemed to be playing together on the surface.
But in fact,Vivian rarely integrated into them.
When the police found Vivian,she was standing by the river.The evening wind blew through her hair,and the light of the setting sun fell on her white dress.Her thick black glasses couldn't hide her deep eyes.
I stood behind her.
This was the place where my first piece of body was found.
I suddenly remembered that there was a pair of gentle hands that pushed aside the soil and placed me there.But why did she do that?
Vivian was taken back as the main suspect.
Because she didn't show any signs of panic at all.
And she calmly admitted that she was the one who buried the first piece of the body there.
Vivian took off her glasses and sat in the interrogation room with extreme calmness.
"Name."
"Vivian."
"Age."
"18 years old."
"Officer,I want to report a case."
Vivian looked at the other person firmly and said,taking the initiative.
"I'm an insider of Emily's dismemberment case."
There was a trace of undetectable sadness in her lowered eyes.
I leaned gently beside her.
"On August 25th,that afternoon.The five of us went camping in Spring Hill.At that time,Lily asked Emily to collect firewood.The four of us were locals and were more familiar with the terrain.Later,I volunteered to collect firewood."
As she spoke,there was a trace of regret in her voice,almost hoarse.
"When I came back,everyone was gone.When I found them,Emily had already fallen off the mountain.At that time,they were all at a loss.Because Emily didn't die after falling from such a height,she begged them for help.But if they saved Emily,they couldn't get away with it.Jason,who had just been admitted to a key university,was unwilling and stabbed the first knife with the spring knife he carried with him..."
Each of them stabbed a knife.No one could get away with it,and no one could tell the secret.
"When I found out,it was already too late.Jason was already crazy with killing.They held my hand and made me repeat that action.In the end,I couldn't tell what the body looked like.We cleaned up the scene.Jason asked each of us to take away a part of the body as a threat..."
There was a bit of pain in her expression:"After this happened,I went to my grandmother's house for many days until I heard that the body parts I buried by the river were found."
Her words were chilling.
"Why did you target Emily?"
"Because they were jealous,jealous of her natural superiority.Emily's oral English was very good,and her pronunciation was very standard,which greatly impressed the English teacher.And Lily,as the English representative,her oral English was like a clown showing off compared to others."
"On the surface,she was gentle and wanted to be friends with her.But behind her back,she spread rumors and incited others to bully her."
"And Jason,he just used Emily to pretend to be good in front of the teacher to cover up his own selfishness and hypocrisy."
"Sophia was Lily's follower,just a perpetrator who took advantage of the situation."
"What about you?"
I turned to look at her.
Because we were so close that I could see every micro-expression on her face.
What about you?
I also wanted to ask.
Vivian let out a slight sigh:"We are all guilty,and I'm atoning for my sins."
