The team was divided to visit the ten families that were on the list. Who would have thought that they would be the lucky ones?

Their suspect is Alex Borrioni. There's no doubt about that.

Jeremy took photos of the painting before he messaged the others that they found the culprit.

He noticed that there was a solo painting of his wife in the room. Could it be that he's also targeting his wife? Maybe he was planning to kill her last!

Why would he do that? Wasn't she, his partner in crime?

Because of the complexity of the crime, Jeremy and his companions thought that Alex was working with a partner since it was not easy to contain a family in one place.

He noticed Darcy's strange actions earlier when she told her mother's whereabouts. Was her mother having an affair?

Since Jeremy didn't want Darcy to doubt that he was actually investigating their place, he closed the door of the room and went back.

He was about to apologize for taking a long time in the CR when he suddenly saw the suspect in the room, chatting with Nian Jiezhen.

"I'm sorry for taking so long in the CR. My stomach was really upset." Jeremy lied. He walked and sat beside Nian Jiezhen.

"You have a companion with you?" Alex asked, a bit surprised.

Nian Jiezhen nodded and smiled, "Yes. This is Agent Jeremy Smith, my partner."

"I see." Alex didn't seem suspicious of Jeremy since he didn't know how long he was gone. "Anyway, as I was saying, there was this boy who was kinda out of place back then. I can't remember his name since most of us don't remember each other names. Aside from that, it has been so long already."

"Thank you for your participation, Mr. Borrioni. We will be assigning some police to guard you and your family until this case is over."

"Thank you, I'm really happy to have some protection from the police." Alex kept on smiling at them but his hands were getting sweaty. From how it looked like, the police hasn't found out that he was the suspect.

After talking with Jeremy and Nian Jiezhen, he accompanied them outside.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you something," Jeremy said as he stood in front of the car.

Alex blinked a few times, "What is it?"

Jeremy's face turned serious. In a blink of an eye, he went and caught Alex, he turned his back and handcuffed his hands.

"W-What is this?!" Stuttered Alex in surprise. He tried to resist and struggle Jeremy's hold but he was already handcuffed and pressed by the car.

"You are under arrest for the murder of the Jilani family, Padovano family, Genovese family, and Cantu family. You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you."

Nian Jiezhen was also surprised by what Jeremy suddenly did, she didn't expect any of it. "He's our unsub?"


"Yes. I found enough evidence against him. It's in his study. The missing nails are also there." Jeremy explained. He looked at Alex and punched him on his side, "You sick bastard!"

"It's not me! I-I didn't do anything! I'm innocent!"

Jeremy scoffed at what he said, "Yeah, right. You can explain everything in the police station."

"Man, I didn't know that we'll be this lucky." Nian Jiezhen chuckled lightly. "Finally, after four months of running after him, he's finally with us."

"I guess we only need to wait for his partner to come."

"Dad?" Darcy went out of the house with a surprised look on her face.

"Run, Darcy!" Alex shouted. "RUN!"

Jeremy came into realization. He misinterpreted Darcy's strange actions! It wasn't because she knew the affair of her mother, it was because of their presence! "Oh, sh*t! She's the partner?!"

Nian Jiezhen already came running after Darcy who tried to escape by the backyard.

"Hey! Stop!" Nian Jiezhen's long slender legs was an advantage for her since she was running with large strides. It wasn't hard for her to catch Darcy.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Darcy struggled.

Back in the local police station...

Alex and his daughter, Darcy, were placed in different rooms. Dale and Loise were the ones who interrogated them.

Alex and Darcy were both quiet, it was as if they already planned it out not to speak to anyone. They would only say, "I want my lawyer."

Darcy was still a minor that was why dealing with her situation was a bit complicated.

"Let me try." Nian Jiezhen went and entered the interrogating room.

"Hi, Darcy." Nian Jiezhen greeted with a smile.

"Ms. Nian..."

"Can I take a seat?"

"Sure."

She went and sat in front of her. "Are you hungry? Do you want me to get some snacks?"

"Can I have some Cheetos and Coke?" Darcy asked with a smile.

"Of course." Nian Jiezhen turned to the police officer who was in the room. "Please get some Cheetos and Coke. Add French Vanilla and potato wedges for me."

The police officer obediently nodded and went out of the room.

"Ms. Nian, am I in big trouble? Ms. Loise was asking me so many questions about dad's painting and the crime... My dad is innocent you know."

"Darcy, if what you say is true, then you must cooperate. We are here to help you and your father you know."

"Really?"

Nian Jiezhen nodded. She was good at dealing with children, she knew how they think that was why she was trying to use her skills to make Darcy confess. "About the paintings in your dad's study room. There are some nails stuck on it, do you know where he got those nails?"

Darcy turned away and remained quiet.

Just like what Loise said, Darcy became quiet when the topic was about his father's paintings and his crimes.

"If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you," said Nian Jiezhen with a soft tone on her voice. "Let's talk about other things, is that alright?"

Darcy took a glance at her before she nodded.

"What grade are you in?"

"Grade 11."

"Oh, wow, that's nice. Just one year and you'll finally graduate." She chuckled lightly. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

The look on Darcy's face brightened up. "I want to be a doctor."

"Really? Aren't you scared of seeing blood or wounded bodies?"

Darcy shook her head, "Nope. I'm not scared." She chuckled, "I'm already used with seeing those."

Nian Jiezhen's eyes narrowed a bit. So she really was Alex's partner. Why would he allow his own daughter to commit such a hideous crime in such a young age?

"Then you won't mind seeing these photos, right?" Nian Jiezhen placed some photos of the victims' wounded bodies on the table.

Darcy's eyes instantly fell on the bodies of the children.

"Why do you want to be a doctor?"

"The knives." She answered instinctively. The look in her eyes became different as she stared at the photos of victims.

"What?"

Darcy snapped out of her trance. She smiled at Nian Jiezhen. "I want to help people."

Nian Jiezhen went along with her, "That's great! I bet that you'll be a great doctor one day."

"Thank you."

Nian Jiezhen took back the photos and placed them in the folder. "Anyway, your snacks will be arriving at any moments. If you want anything else, let me know, okay?"

After a while, Nian Jiezhen finally went out of the room. Her smiling face disappeared and was replaced by a serious look.

It wasn't just her, even her companions had the same look.

"I never thought that she'll be a psychopath." George sighed. Darcy was showing the signs of being a psychopath and that was not good.

"The one who dismembered the children... It's her, there's no doubt about it."
