Officer, I'm Really the Killer

In 2005, a gruesome murder and dismemberment case in Jiangcheng sent shock waves through the city. Rumors ran rampant, but the killer seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no clues.

Just as the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau was at its wits' end, an eighteen-year-old boy turned himself in.

He claimed to be the killer in the murder and dismemberment case.

No one could imagine how a boy so frail-looking had used a cleaver to dismember the bodies of a family of five.

But his somewhat disjointed confession was enough to explain all the questions the investigators had been unable to answer.

The missing murder weapon, hidden away. The detailed account of the crime. A motive that made perfect sense.

"They were my neighbors across the hall."

"That uncle was a drunk. Every time he got drunk, he'd kick our door and call me an orphan with no parents."

"That aunt was always telling people in the neighborhood behind my back that I caused my parents' deaths, that I was bad luck."

"Their son went to my school. Every day, he'd corner me in the bathroom and pour cold water on me."

"I hated them so much. Every day I wished they would just die."

"...And then they really did die."

The killer turned himself in, bringing the murder and dismemberment case to a perfect conclusion.

But Ying Wensheng, captain of the criminal investigation squad, noticed something was off. He realized the real killer was still out there.

Following the boy's clues, they caught the true culprit. At the time, Tu Jiang naively thought the boy had simply witnessed the crime scene and been so traumatized that his memories had become confused.

Two weeks later, however, a serial murder case emerged. Three people were dead, and the killer was still at large.

Just as they were at a loss, the boy turned himself in again.

The same interrogation room, the same scene, and the same boy.

"Officer Ying, I think I killed someone again." The pale-faced boy covered his face in a fit of nervous laughter. "You'd better arrest me right away."

Ying Wensheng: "..."

What kind of new detective tip-off method was this?

Shen Jue had always suspected he suffered from a hereditary mental illness.

The family next door had come back.

That uncle kicked at his door, using obscenities about genitals to insult his entire family.

That aunt stopped her husband, saying not to bother arguing with an orphan who had no parents.

Their son said "See you tomorrow" in an exaggerated tone. The burn beneath his clothes still ached faintly.

If only they would all die.

With that thought in mind, he looked down at his blood-soaked hands and the bodies lying on the floor.

He watched himself take a knife and dismember the corpses, washing away every trace of blood in an attempt to bury his crimes.

Then he looked in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.

He had killed someone.

He had to turn himself in.

He confessed everything to the police officer, but the officer said, "Thank you for helping us catch the real killer."

He went home in a daze, but only a few days later, he realized he had killed again.

When he turned himself in for the second time, the handsome officer tapped his forehead, sounding deeply exasperated.

"Listen, kid, can you make your clues a little easier to follow? Is messing with the police really that much fun?"
