Chapter 21: Interviewing the homicidal maniac
                          
“Say it…” I turned my head to look at him. Deep down, I was a bit hopeful. My eyes were beginning to light up again.
                          
“Umm...!” Suyang suddenly grabbed both my hands and placed his on top. His eyes were bright and full of expression.
                          
“Say it! Hurry!” I wondered if my guess was correct. Currently, my emotions were stirring and I was very excited. I didn’t even dare to blink because I was afraid I would miss this precious moment.
                          
“Remember what you said about letting me see the homicidal maniac…?” Suyang tried to read my reaction.
                          
The moment he opened his mouth, I felt my heart sink. Today, I had suffered through too many psychological blows. Is going negative really ok?
                          
“Didn’t the homicidal maniac die from the gunshot? I can’t bring him back to life and order him to discuss how he had developed his abnormal mindset, you know?” Although I could see the homicidal maniac if he was a ghost, I didn’t want to see him again.
                          
Suyang shook his head, his eyes were filled with longing, “He’s not dead. He’s just wounded. I need you to speak to the police department. I really want to see him. If possible, ideally, I would like to take part in the interrogation.”
                          
“How am I supposed to do that? Interrogating the criminal happens internally! We are commoners. We cannot take part!”
                          
“You’re different! Not only were you one of the victims, you also contributed greatly in this case. If you personally ask, they should be fine with it.” Suyang confidently stated as he grabbed both my shoulders.
                          
“Then, that’s for me to watch. What does it have to do with you?” I pulled from Suyang’s grasp as I exercised my muscles and laid back in bed.
                          
“I can follow you! Don’t forget. You promised me this. If you go back on your words, I will….”
                          
“What will you do?” I arrogantly raised my chin and gazed at Suyang.
                          
In one second, Suyang went from a ferocious face to a smiling face. He stroked my head like I was a puppy. “Our goldfish is so pretty. She will definitely keep her promise, right?”
                          
“What? Goldfish?” I glared at him.
                          
Suyang quickly waved his hands, “No! It’s Yixin! Our Yixin is so pretty. She will definitely not go back on her words….”
                          
Oh God. He’s so desperate to see the homicidal maniac that he doesn’t even care about his pride anymore? He praised me!? Wait, what’s that supposed to mean? It’s a bit odd…
                          
“Fine fine fine. I’ll speak to the police officers. But I can’t guarantee they will let me. Understand?”
                          
“I know you can do it!” Suyang was degenerating. He acted more pleased than a three-year old receiving a candy. His smile was so big, it was practically drawing to the back of his head.
                          
I honestly couldn’t understand how he could be so excited to see a person that was mentally unstable.
                          
Right before he left, he stroked my head again and smiled. “Get well soon. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
