This is the most memorable case I've had in my over twenty years as a police officer.

It's different from the usual thefts, robberies, and vendettas.

This time, it was patricide, with not a single family member spared.

After committing the crime, the perpetrator set fire to the house to destroy the evidence.

By the time people sensed something was wrong and woke up from their sleep, the house was already mostly burned down.

When the fire brigade arrived, they found three charred bodies amidst the ruins.

The public security agency swiftly initiated a criminal investigation.

I received the task on short notice and prepared to rush to the scene, only to be informed that the culprit had already called to surrender.

Since I lived closest to the police station, I was asked to go there and wait for the perpetrator, ready for interrogation at the earliest opportunity.

I arrived at the police station and waited for about ten minutes, when a black sedan pulled up.

A lady stepped out, dressed in a white suit, with her hair elegantly styled and her makeup exquisite.

She smiled gently and said, "Hello, I'm here to surrender."

I couldn't believe that this well-dressed, gentle and beautiful woman could be a criminal.

I've seen the expressions and demeanor of many guilty individuals.

Regret, remorse, unwillingness, fear, but never has anyone been as composed as this woman.

It felt as though she wasn't saying, "Hello, I'm here to surrender."

Instead, it was more like saying, "What a lovely weather today."

Some of my colleagues were a bit perplexed, "Su... Surrender? The Li Family Village murder-arson case?"

"Yes," she nodded with a smile and extended her hands to be handcuffed by my colleagues.

Typically, surrendering criminals show some remorse and worry.

Until her hands were handcuffed, I didn't see any expression from her other than a smile.

Perhaps that's why I remember her so vividly.
