At the entrance of the criminal police team,Daniel unconsciously straightened his wrinkled clothes.This was his usual behavior when he was nervous.When he finally saw Officer Linda,Daniel couldn't wait to speak.
"Where's Annie?Did she cause trouble again?"
"I'm here to take her home."
Officer Linda looked at him,hesitating to speak.
"You'd better come in and see for yourself."
Officer Linda's words were like torture for Daniel.He walked in numbly and saw the forensic doctor cleaning my somewhat decayed body.Confusion crossed his face.
"Didn't you say you found Annie?"
"What's the point of showing me a deceased person?"
Officer Linda put one hand on his shoulder and sighed.
"Do you remember the deceased hidden in the sculpture a few days ago?"
"The DNA test results are in."
"It's Annie.She was pregnant before she died..."
Daniel suddenly shook off Officer Linda's hand and gritted his teeth."Did Annie ask you to say this to me!"
"Tell her to come out and see me!"
"She just wants me to forgive her,that's why she's doing all this."
"She succeeded.I admit I can't let her go!"
"So as long as she comes out,I'll forgive her.This act is no longer fun."
Officer Linda,a tough man,turned his head away,his voice choked up.
"Daniel Thompson,she's dead!"
"Wake up,will you!She's never coming back!"
"Do you know how she died?She was stabbed more than forty times by the murderer and was finally dismembered and made into a sculpture to destroy the evidence!"
I watched as Daniel's face finally changed.A sarcastic smile curled up on my lips.How could he not know?He personally cleaned up the crime scene and threw our baby into a black plastic bag.The baby had already taken shape,and you could vaguely see its little hands.He was the one who cruelly killed our baby,and I would never forgive him in this lifetime.
Daniel collapsed and squatted down,muttering,"Impossible...You must all be lying to me!"
"She won't die.She promised me she would stay with me forever.How could she break her promise!"
"Linda,please let me go to find her,okay?"
"I just want to see her one more time!"
"She must still be alive.I promised to take her home!"
Daniel sobbed uncontrollably,his body shaking.Officer Linda sighed.
"Fine.It's good for you to give up."
"I'll take you to a place."
Officer Linda took Daniel to the door of my art studio.No one had lived here for a long time.There was a little dust on the windowsill,and the potted plants had withered from lack of watering.
Daniel walked in and saw the room full of paintings.These were the paintings I had done in my spare time.I still remembered that when I was in school,I had the best talent in my class.But no one could have imagined that I would put aside my talent and become an ordinary portrait artist in the criminal police team.
