“If not,I’m out of here.”
“I told you,I was just passing by.Why don’t you believe me?”
With that,he casually strolled out of the station.
I pointed at him,then the girl’s tragic corpse,enraged.“That’s it?He’s a suspect!Why are you letting him go?”
An officer punched the wall.“If we could,we’d shoot him right here,right now!”
“But we have no evidence.”
The fur alone wasn’t enough.Victor had covered his tracks perfectly,with no clear motive.
I clenched my jaw.
Genetics wasn’t peace.The science was right.
These beings were born to cause havoc,but Victor was worse than typical cases.
He was a master of disguise.
For six months,he lulled everyone into a false sense of security, waiting until the right moment to strike.
If he had been more discreet,we might never have suspected him.
But he left clues for us to find—a blatant taunt.
I trembled with rage.
Another officer rushed in.“There's been another murder!”
Another girl,same method.
This time,Victor had been the one to report it, claiming that he had "stumbled upon" the body and immediately called the police.
He smiled innocently.“Officers,now you believe I’m innocent,right?”
“Who commits a crime,sticks around,and calls the cops?”
Taunting us openly.
I slapped him hard.“If it wasn’t you,then who?”
“I should have stopped you before you were even born.How could you do this?”
Victor clutched his mouth,grinning wickedly.“Aunt Lila,you need evidence.”
“Without it,you might end up just like those girls.”
I sneered.“Do you think I’m scared?”
His face darkened.“I knew you wanted me dead since I was in my mother’s womb!”
My eyes widened.“You remember that?”
“Of course.How else would I remember you,Aunt Lila?You gave me life,then tried to take it away!”
“If it wasn’t for you,my mom wouldn’t have had to run and hide with me!”
“You’ll fall into my hands eventually.”
I swallowed hard.
Emma stormed in,furious.“Lila,you witch!What did you do to my son?Why’s he holding his face?”
“I just taught him how to be human.”
Emma lunged to slap me,but I blocked her attack.
Victor seized the moment,sobbing to his mother.“Mom,the police and this woman hit me!They framed me for those murders!”
Emma’s eyes blazed.“Nonsense!My son’s so sweet and kind.He’d never do that!”
“Don’t think you can push around a widow and her child.My son has the whole mule clan behind him!”
“In two days,Victor will inherit the clan leadership.Then we’ll see who dares to oppress us!”
