Hearing Seraphina's words, Keeley was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"So this morning I was a just suspect, and now I'm suddenly the confirmed murderer, right?"
Seraphina, leaning against the railing by the river, lazily raised her eyebrows and waved her phone at him.
After a while, his phone pinged. Keeley looked down to see that she'd sent him a video.
He opened the video, and it was a surveillance recording, showing a truck and a brief glimpse of him.
This scene should be very familiar to him, but seeing it from this third-person perspective felt a bit weird.
"So it was something that fell off this truck that caused her to lose control and drive into the river, and you just happened to be there," Seraphina said. "Keeley, do you still want to argue?"
Keeley put down his phone and shrugged, "If this is considered evidence, the cops should have come for me by now."
"You're right," Seraphina said, "The police don't have evidence to arrest you, but I'm not the police. I don't need evidence. As long as I believe you're the killer, I won’t stop until I avenge her."
Keeley suddenly looked around and spread his hands, "What are you going to do? Did you call me here to kill me?"
Seraphina stared at him for a while, then suddenly turned away and squatted down in pain.
Keeley stood quietly, watching her for a while, then approached her, "Are you okay?"
He could probably imagine how much pain she was in.
In one day, she lost her best friend and got drunk in the strong wind, naturally she would not feel well.
Seraphina chuckled, "A person who killed my friend... actually cares about me... How weird is this..."
Keeley was about to reach out to help her, but when he heard her words, he immediately withdrew his hand and just stood by the railing. After a while, he said, "I know you hate me, but but I don't have any conflicts with your friend, I was just..."
He seemed to realize something and stopped speaking.
Seraphina suddenly looked up at him, "Then tell me, who gave you the job? Who was it?"
She was unusually angry, her eyes full of bloodshot veins, her eyes brimming with tears, but no tears fell.
"You know the answer," Keeley said, "I don't know."
Seraphina laughed coldly again, "You just followed orders, you know nothing... You're like this, casually taking someone's life! For you, it's a small matter, an amusing thing. But have you ever thought about what the person whose life you took meant to others?"
"That's not something I need to consider," Keeley said.
Seraphina was quiet for a while, suddenly reached out to wipe her eyes and laughed, "Yeah, no one cares but me. But what does it mean to others that I care?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly got up, walked straight to Keeley, and reached out to grab him, "Let's do this, you usually just take money and do things for people, I'll give you money, do one more thing for me, kill me."
Keeley's face changed immediately, he quickly retracted his hand and looked at Seraphina coldly, "Are you crazy?"
"No... right, I'm crazy." Seraphina suddenly took two steps back, "I still have to avenge her, how could I die like this?"
As she spoke, she backed away until she was tripped by the bench behind her and fell to the ground.
