Chapter 864


    Lennon asked someone to summon Ate. At the same time, he also sent someone to investigate


    Ate''s whereabouts and all her transactions. He stood in front of the one-way ss and looked at


    Oswald taking Ate''s statement. He then received news from the technical detective. Her


    whereabouts were normal, and she had no contact with Mia. There was no unusual transaction under


    her name or her family members'' names.


    Ate cooperated with the police and answered every question they asked. When they mentioned


    the fruit knife, Ate did not show anything unusual."... That fruit knife was bought in the school


    supermarket. What''s wrong?"


    "Is the knife still there?"


    "Yes," Ate said, "It''s in my dormitory... but it will be kept if there''s a spot check in school, so I


    usually lock it in the cab."


    "Do you mind if we take it to have a look?"


    Unexpectedly, Ate said, "Of course. The key is in my basket. It''s easy to find."


    Lennon knocked on the headset and said, "Ask her what she thinks about Crystal''s murder."


    After receiving the order, Oswald cleared his throat and said, "ording to our investigation, you and


    Crystal are not only roommates but also good friends. Am I right?"


    "Yes," Ate said, "She always looks soft and weak, so after knowing that she killed someone... my


    first reaction was that I didn''t believe it, but after thinking about it, I didn''t find it surprising."


    "Why?"


    "Officer, haven''t you seen how her adoptive mother looked like when she was alive?" Ate calmly


    said, "I''ve seen her several times. To be honest, as a bystander, I found it unbearable. Not to mention


    that Crystal was involved. Her adoptive mother kept asking her for money nonstop. This makes me


    very disgusted. I can

    understand that Crystal killed her when she couldn''t bear it any longer."


    Oswald was speechless.


    Ate''s words were wless. She even expressed her sympathy for Crystal, who was her friend.


    He walked out of the interrogation room and said, "Lennon, I think there''s nothing wrong with her."


    "She doesn''t have the motive to frame Crystal, so it''s impossible for her to be bribed. Although


    Ate''s family is not very rich, they''re not poor either. It''s impossible to bribe her with money."


    Lennon pressed between his eyebrows and said, "I''ve already asked someone to go to Princeton


    University to get that fruit knife. When it''s brought back to the police station, we will let the expert


    investigation do the identification."


    "Yes," Oswald replied. Ate seemed to have said something all of a sudden. The clerk opened the


    door and said, "She said she wants to see Crystal."


    Crystal sat on the edge of the bed, with her fingers passing through the light from the skylight. Her


    fingers were very white and looked more transparent in the sun, like light butterflies.


    Ate stood at the door and looked at her, saying, "I heard that you can''t speak."


    Crystal ignored her.


    Ate slowly stepped forward and squatted in front of Crystal. "Do you have any questions for me?"


    Crystal held her cheek for a long time, then took her writing board and wrote, "What do you want me to


    ask?" Ate pursed her lips.


    Crystal wrote slowly, "Do you want me to ask you why you did this so that you can defend yourself and


    stop feeling guilty? Then you are wrong. I just want to see you and remember this lesson clearly so that


    I won''t trust others casually in the future."


    "..." Ate bit her lip and said, "You don''t know anything at all. Of course, you can me me on the


    moral high ground!"


    Crystal tilted her head slightly and smiled. "Do I have to be grateful to you in my current state?"
