Hello, Officer

"Hello, Officer." Those were the words I used the first time I flirted with Ning Yi.

I thought she was the only salvation on the dark path I had chosen.

"My wish is to become a bad person." - Jiang Qingxue

That was what I wrote for a classroom assignment about wishes when I was a child. My teacher sent me out of the room.

My father had taught me from a young age how to deceive people with skill. Later, he was sent to prison, while my mother paid little attention to me and was utterly cold.

So the idea took root when I was eighteen.

I wanted to get my mother's attention.

But my first attempt was interrupted.

Before I even got to the point of making an attempt, Ning Yi stopped me. I couldn't understand how her investigative skills could be so good.
