Keira’s heart leaped, and she quickly moved toward
the police officer, wanting to hear clearly what he was
saying.
But in the next moment, a hand was extended from beside that police officer, hastily pressing the pause button. A cold rebuke rang out. “The case is unsolved, and no evidence can be revealed in front of the suspect! Have you learned nothing from the police academy?!”
The police officer cleared his throat hastily and said with a wry smile, “I’m sorry, Dr. Sims. I shouldn’t have done that.”
The one who spoke was a female forensic doctor with a serious expression in her eyes that reflected the shroud of peace and security of the nation. She said coldly, “No more mistakes.”
“Yes.”
Only then did the forensic doctor turn her gaze to Keira. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t say a word. She put on her gloves and carried her

toolbox toward the corpse.
Keira was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect it
to be her.
She was Keira’s middle school classmate, and her first
female friend, Holly Sims.
Holly’s family had been forensic doctors for generations. From middle school, she already had a clear life plan, saying that she was born to uphold justice in the world.
The naive words of that time became her lifelong goal.
She attended a vocational school related to her field during high school and at a young age, she had already become a respected forensic doctor.
However…
Keira looked down.
Holly had some misunderstandings about Keira, and judging from her recent actions, it appeared that Holly still held a grudge.
Keira sighed silently.
A few minutes later, after Dr. Sims finished examining

the body, she stood up and pronounced her verdict. “The victim died instantly from a penetrating wound. There are signs of being hit in the chest. The time of death should be…”
She checked the time. “Between thirty to thirty-five
minutes ago.”
The police officer immediately said, “We received the emergency call exactly thirty minutes ago, so, the victim died just as Miss Olsen entered.”
He looked toward Keira. “At present, all evidence points to you, Miss Olsen. As for the voice you mentioned earlier, it could be that the heavy fall of the victim drowned out his cries. You just didn’t hear it. Besides, there is a witness who proved that the victim did speak before you entered the room, so you are now the murder suspect. Please come with us to the police station for further investigation!”
Keira glanced at Holly and didn’t resist. “Okay.”
Seeing her compliance, the police officer walked her, preparing to take her downstairs.

But at that moment, Holly scoffed and said, “Is a murder suspect not supposed to be handcuffed to

prevent escape? Don’t you even have the basic training of a police officer?”

The police officer was stunned and immediately gave a bitter laugh.
The lady was very cooperative in their investigation, and even assuming that she really was the killer, it would still be classified as excessive self-defense. It wasn’t intentional, and she wasn’t a violent offender, so handcuffs weren’t necessarily required.
But he didn’t refute her. After all, it seemed quite clear that Dr. Sims was unhappy with this woman, hence she was picking on her.
He cleared his throat and looked apologetically at
Keira.
At this point, Lewis, who was standing beside them, immediately took a step forward, intending to speak, but Keira subtly shook her head at him and then complied by extending her hands out.
After the cold handcuffs were put on her, that was
when the police officer started escorting her down the
stairs.
Lewis followed her. “I’ll hire a lawver for you

immediately. Until the lawyer arrives, you have the
right to remain silent.”
Keira nodded. “Just tell Grandma I’m going home for a couple of days.”
“Understood.”
As they reached downstairs, Keira got into the police car, and then suddenly felt a heavy presence beside her. She turned her head to see Holly instead of the police officer from earlier.
As the car started, Keira asked calmly, looking straight ahead, “How have you been these years?”
Holly looked at her. Her eyes were cold and deep. “I’ve been doing very well. Sorry to disappoint you.”
Keira was taken aback and hesitated for a moment
before saying, “Back then, I …”
“Shut up!” Holly blurted out coldly. “You’re a liar. I don’t
believe a word you say!”
Keira was speechless.
She heaved a sigh quietly.
Holly, however, asked, “The man from just now, is he

your boyfriend?”
Keira didn’t want to lie. “He’s my husband, legally speaking.”
Holly looked noticeably startled. “You’re married?”
Keira felt as though she were a brute, so she said slowly, “My situation with him is a bit complicated. We
Holly turned her head away. “You did the right thing. Even if you’d sent me an invitation, I wouldn’t have
attended!”
Keira felt silent.
Only then did she realize why Holly was angry.
She assumed Keira had gotten married without lettin
her know.
Keira shook her head and smiled bitterly. Just as she was about to say something, Holly’s voice rose again. “So, he’s the boy you wanted to marry back then?”
Keira was taken aback for a moment.
After a while, she said in a low voice, “…No.”
Holly sneered. “You do get tired of the old and in with

the new. You can even abandon that boy, so how could you possibly consider other friends?”
Keira tried to explain, “Actually, back then…”
“I said shut up!” Holly’s face flared up in anger. “Don’t think that by bringing up our past friendship, I will help you! I have long seen your true color. You’re nothing but a complete fraud!”
Keira was speechless.
She didn’t say anything else.
However, Holly turned to look at her again. “Stop thinking about all these chaotic things. You should think more about your case! This case of yours is very complicated, and all the current evidence points to you. The traces on the body also point to you, and I won’t help you conceal anything… Aren’t you the leas bit worried?”
Keira smiled confidently. “Because you are here, I
believe I’ll be proven innocent. You once said that you wanted to uphold the justice of the world. You’ll never let anyone be wronged under your charge, nor allow any criminals escape.”
Holly was slightly taken aback. She didn’t know

whether she was shocked by Keira’s firm belief in her, or because she was reminded of her zealous words from the past. Her ears turned slightly red.
But then she grumbled quietly again, “Don’t sweet-talk me. I do not trust a single word you say. Keira, if you
are the killer, I’ll make sure justice is served!”
They soon arrived at the police station.
Keira was suspected of murder and temporarily detained.
Holly personally escorted her to the detention center and placed her in a single cell.
She stood outside the cell, looking steadily at Keira. “Are you sure you didn’t kill him?”
“Yes.”
Holly frowned. “Then what’s the deal with his voice?”
Keira replied, “Could it be a recording on the phone? Wasn’t his phone found? Could you please check?”
Holly scoffed. “The phone is in the police station. It won’t be lost. It’s important evidence.”
Having finished speaking, she looked steadily at Keira.

“You brought up that phone. Don’t you want to know what message he left for you?”
Keira’s eyes lit up. “Will you tell me?”
“Of course.”
Determining what to say next, Holly was calm.
