Robin’s skin, rarely touched by sunlight, was pale. When excited, his black eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but flail his hands
around.
The handcuffs clanked as he spoke rapidly, showing no remorse for his murderous actions.
“He followed Zane ever since he got out of jail and intentionally tried to look like him over time.”
“His childhood was tough; his mother was disabled by his father and later abandoned, with no education, working odd jobs
everywhere.”
“He idolizes Zane and fantasizes about killing scum, just like his father. The neighbor was also someone he had observed for a
long time before deciding to take action.”
Bennett pulled out a few drawings from the files and returned the ones belonging to Quinlyn. She was the key figure to protect
now, so the department wouldn’t keep any footage or files about her.
“So you chose to commit the crime on a rainy day?”
“Of course, timing was perfect. Zane was home alone. I planned to kill right in front of him as proof of my devotion to the divine.”
“But he slept through it all after taking his meds, so he never saw a thing,” Robin replied honestly.
Ironically, the killer was angriest that Zane had taken medication and slept. This case, meant to be a frame–up, almost became
an unsolvable mystery because of that. If it weren’t for Quinlyn, Zane would have been doomed.
“But it doesn’t matter; our mission is spreading. More people will join us; in this rotten society, the law can’t do its job, and it’s
time for the divine to judge the sinners and save more souls.”
Hearing this, Bennett furrowed his brows and quickly led Quinlyn away.
“The case is closed, but that forum has been uncovered. Many are discussing it online; this isn’t over yet.”
As they exited the hall, they bumped into Cher and her husband, who were hand–in–hand and seemed unaffected.
Stanley greeted them and said he’d take Quinlyn home.
Cher added sadly, “Let’s meet during the New Year; I’ll bring you new painting supplies.”
“Sure,” Quinlyn loved oil painting.
While they talked, a journalist rushed in, “Are you Mr. Perry? What do you think about fan–mimicking murder? Are you happy
“Have you seen the appeal forum? Do you think those people’s calls for punishment matter?”
They moved too quickly for even the nearby officers to react. Just then, a crowd surged in, revealing many simple, elderly faces.
“You murderer! You’ve ruined our families. Now you’re leading others to crime. How does the law allow this? Why are you free?
You’re both demons!”
Suddenly, a rotten egg flew through the air.
Zane quickly turned to shield Cher with his back from the attack.

The stinking, thick egg yolk seemed to unleash a storm, more people flooding in. Families of former victims, filled with rage,
attacked Zane like they did 20 years ago.
Amid media cameras, Bennett urgently led everyone to the lounge.
Looking at his phone, the online buzz was alarming. Information about a 20–year–old cold case spread at lightning speed, with
countless netizens rallying to support the victims‘ families, questioning law enforcement.
As chaos erupted outside, Cher received a call from her superior.
“Okay, I understand,” she replied calmly before turning to the group, smiling slightly. “My work has been suspended; I might face
an investigation.”
She said it lightly, but as someone familiar with the system, Bennett knew Cher wouldn’t wear that judge’s robe again.
Twenty years ago, the public had fewer chances to engage with these cases, but now Cher was drowning in online criticism.
Still, holding Zane’s hand, she remained composed, “I haven’t done anything wrong; you’ve served your time. The law doesn’t
ban our relationship,” so they would not bend under pressure.
Bennett sighed and went ahead to help clear the way for their departure.
Quinlyn stayed with them, watching the online chatter explode. She chose to erase all traces, blocking Zane and Cher’s names
from the source, even the forum.
One second, people in the chat section were still celebrating wildly.
[That’s awesome! Zane really succeeded!]
[Registration surpassed 200,000. I have a tech expert reinforcing the website; it won’t get hacked!]
Many members conversing online saw the last message and were stunned as the page suddenly vanished.
They tried re–entering the URL.
[Sorry, the page you are looking for does not exist.]
A cold message struck them back to reality, leaving them shocked. Their forum they built over many years was gone.
Quinlyn also sent the info of three forum administrators to Bennett, instructing him to arrest them.
Cutting off the source limited the virus’s spread, but those outside were clearly prepared.
With media support, many victims‘ families went live, crying as they recounted their years of suffer
Netizens erupted with righteous indignation, empathizing and sending donations to comfort the families.
[We can’t accept this! This scumbag has more victims! We choose to speak out despite the pain of reopening scars, all for public
safety. Please support us!]
[Support! We’ll stand firm!]
[Reinstate the death penalty! Send Zane to hell!]
[Murderers deserve no peace!]
As long as Zane was involved, traffic surged, and everyone’s live streams skyrocketed.

Quinlyn watched through the window, cautiously moving her fingers, needing to stay under the radar.
A warm, soft hand grabbed her; Cher sat on a bench, her beautiful, elegant face wearing a gentle smile.
“Don’t worry; we deserve this. We hid things before, indirectly causing today’s consequences.”
Tomorrow’s cause is today’s effect; she accepted it.

However, the public outcry intensified by the minute, with many netizens arriving to join the protest outside, forming long lines
and waving banners.
“Hand over Zane!”
As voices grew louder, even the officers struggled to contain the situation.
Bennett stood resolutely in front, knowing if this continued, chaos would erupt, and they might have to use force, escalating
everything further.
