"Rest assured, we will handle this fairly; please step outside for a moment."
The elders were ushered out by the police, and then an officer took out a recording pen and asked Shi Mei, "What's your name?"
Shi Mei's eyes lacked vitality, and anticipating their questions, she replied indifferently, "Shi Mei."
After a series of personal questions, the police moved on to the main issue, asking, "Regarding the body under Xiajiang Bridge, do you have anything you'd like to explain?"
Shi Mei's gaze was dull as she said, "Indeed, I killed the person. They wanted to kill me, I didn't want to die, so I had to deal with them all."
The two officers exchanged glances and then asked, "We found a dagger at the scene, what did you use it for?"
Shi Mei was very cooperative, confessing to everything without reservation.
