Chapter 846
After the investigation, it was confirmed that the deceased was from Sunshine Village. Her name was Mia, and she
was a woman of 46 years old.
About three months ago, Mia came to City W with her mother-in-law, Debbie. Later, she stayed in the hotel booked
by her own daughter, Dora. Four days ago, Debbie could not get in touch with Mia, but she had no sense of crisis.
She thought that Mia just went out for something. It was not until the police called her to identify the corpse that
she knew that her daughter-in-law was dead.
Debbie immediately broke down and knelt in the corridor of the municipal public security bureau, crying all the
time. She said that it must be Crystal, the jinx, who killed her, and she would soon be killed by Crystal too.
Of course, the police would not only listen to the howl of an old lady. After comforting Mia, they conducted a

Mia's adopted daughter, Crystal.
At this time, in the interrogation room, the lights were very dazzling. Crystal found it hard to keep her eyes open.
Lennon and a policeman were sitting opposite her. Lennon said lightly, "Our forensic experts found many abused
wounds on the dead person, which were caused by sticks, long needles, knives, and heavy objects. The medical
examiner identified that the death time was about three o'clock in the morning yesterday. The fruit knife that
pierced her heart caused the death. The wounds around it showed that the murderer was not an experienced
killer."
Speaking of this, Lennon knocked on the table and said, "Of course, the evidence here makes you the suspect."
He picked up a bag of evidence containing a fruit knife, the type that was used to cut watermelons. It was usually
very sharp, and there were dried bloodstains on it. Lennon said, "Although you wiped it clean, because of this
special handle..." He pointed to the two undulating waves on the wooden handle, which was designed for the
ergonomics of the two grooves. One could put his fingers in, but in fact, they were useless.
"There is a fingerprint left in the inside of the groove. The result has come out."
He picked up an identification report and said, "It's your fingerprint."
Crystal was originally drowsy by the light, but when she heard this sentence, she suddenly sobered up. She opened
her mouth, but no words came out.
Lennon continued to say, "According to our investigation, about half a month ago, Mia and Debbie once blocked you
at your school gate and asked you for money. It happened more than once, and this matter was spread, causing
almost everyone in your school to know about it. Is that true?"
Crystal nodded.
Lennon said, "So you do have motives to kill her."

"First, after your adoptive mother dies, you don't need to support her anymore. Second, she can no longer block
you in front of your school and make you lose face again."
Crystal,"..."
Lennon seemed a little impatient. "Are you going to say something or not? Do you think these pieces of evidence
can't pin you down? Crystal, let me tell you, just this fruit knife stuck in Mia's chest and your fingerprint are enough
to convict you!"
Crystal,"..."
Lennon finally stood up. "You still don't want to admit it?!"
Crystal made a gesture and pointed at her own throat. Lennon said,"... What do you mean?"
The examiner who was in charge of the recording pushed his glasses, which were almost as thick as the bottom of
a beer bottle, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "She's probably saying that she can't talk." "?" Lennon
said, "It's not stated that she's disabled."
