"Suspect Xu An: insufficient evidence. Not guilty!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. We took up the time you needed to care for your mother. The murderer will be punished by law. Thank you for your cooperation."
Xu An walked out of the police station in silence, as if nothing had happened. He was lucky: the charge that he had murdered his wife did not stick. In fact, Xu An had played the role of a husband rather well.
He brought his wife her favorite street food after work, took her on trips during holidays, bought her flowers, and got her an inexpensive bag or outfit every month. He created surprises and gave her what people called emotional support.
A steady government job, a handsome face, and a fit body from regular exercise.
To everyone around him, this seemingly perfect man had nothing in common with a wife-killer. Officer Lin Qingqing couldn't help feeling sorry for him, because this gentleman's wife had cheated on him with a young athlete from a nearby university.
And all the evidence pointed to that good-for-nothing: a shady man with dyed blond hair and cuffed pants. He shouted that he was innocent, but the truth was clear. He had killed her over a lovers' quarrel.
Lin Qingqing couldn't understand why anyone would cheat when they were already in such a happy relationship.
But Xu An didn't care, because he really had killed his wife. What mattered more to him was the voice that had recently appeared inside his head.
"Do you yearn for slaughter? Do you yearn for power?"
It seemed to be a path to godhood...
It's okay, I can watch it
