He returned to the cage and opened the door before squatting down. Staring at Fang Erlan, who was still quivering in terror, he said in an alluring voice, "Come out."

Fang Erlan looked up at him with tears in her eyes that were as dark as ink. She then walked out of the cage slowly.

"Yes."

"Did you kill those two people?"

"Yes."

"Will the police arrest you, then?"

"Are you worried about me?" he asked, feeling a sudden sense of joy.
