Hearing Liu Xiaojing blame Zhou Dayong for killing her roommates confused everyone. Why did she accuse an unrelated person?
Zhou Dayong was furious but physically no match for the two detectives holding him back. He could only point and curse at Liu Xiaojing.
Lin Chen asked Liu Xiaojing, "Because of the victims' father?"
"Yes," Liu Xiaojing looked at Lin Chen and explained,
"Mr. Lin, that detective said my mother died in a car accident when I was eleven. You heard that, right?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly, signaling understanding. Zhang Tian'ai then asked,
"You mean to say your mother's accident was related to Zhou Dayong?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaojing said.
"That's not right. We investigated the accident. Your mother caused it by running a red light. A truck driver didn't notice and struck her." Zhang Tian'ai recalled, as she had personally investigated this.
Liu Xiaojing acknowledged, "Officer, you're right. My mother did run the red light, but do you know why?"
"It was all because of him!"
Liu Xiaojing pointed again at Zhou Dayong.
Zhou Dayong gritted his teeth, baffled by her stubbornness. He asked,
"Damn it, bitch, you say it was my fault for your mother's death? Ha, that's ridiculous. Then tell me, how did I kill your mother?"
Liu Xiaojing looked at Zhou Dayong with hatred and slowly recounted the story.
When she was eleven, her mother moved from their rural home to the county town so Liu Xiaojing could attend a better school. To save rent, they lived in a remote area.
Her mother worked and cared for Liu Xiaojing. Though poor, they were happy.
One night, an intruder broke into their room. He was strong and pinned Liu Xiaojing's mother down on the bed.
Eleven-year-old Liu Xiaojing, lying next to her mother, was awakened by the noise.
Though young, she sensed danger and shouted for help, hoping to alert neighbors.
A small nightlight faintly lit the room.
While trying to protect her mother, Liu Xiaojing noticed a cross tattoo near the intruder's ear—an image she never forgot.
She was then knocked unconscious. When she awoke, her mother was curled in a corner, trembling and bloodshot-eyed.
Liu Xiaojing was terrified and asked what had happened.
Her mother said nothing, too ashamed to face relatives and village neighbors, so she never reported the crime.
Afterward, her mother grew withdrawn and eventually died in a car accident on the way to the market.
Liu Xiaojing knew the intruder with the cross tattoo near his ear had killed her mother.
She carried this hatred with her to university, where she met two roommates, victims Li and Zhou.
Both came from well-off families, while Liu Xiaojing struggled on a few hundred yuan per month from her grandmother.
Li and Zhou bullied and abused her, forcing her to clean, do laundry, and wash their underwear.
They knew people outside school and threatened Liu Xiaojing with violence if she disobeyed.
Liu Xiaojing had intended to endure silently, cherishing her chance at university.
One day, Zhou Dayong, father of victim Zhou, came to deliver food. Liu Xiaojing saw the cross tattoo near his ear—exactly the same as the intruder's.
The unchanged tattoo and voice convinced her Zhou Dayong was the man who humiliated her mother.
Her thirst for revenge burned fiercely. While suffering abuse from Li and Zhou, she plotted revenge.
One day, a girl identical to Liu Xiaojing appeared.
Liu Xiaojing was stunned, unable to speak, as if looking into a mirror.
The girl was Liu Xiaojing's twin sister. Their mother had given birth to twins while working away from home.
Because of poverty, the parents never married. After birth, they separated—the mother took Liu Xiaojing, and the father took the sister.
After growing up, the father fell ill and wished to see Liu Xiaojing and her mother again.
The sister came to Tianhai City and found Liu Xiaojing. Liu told her mother had been killed by someone nearby.
The sisters planned revenge. Unable to kill Zhou Dayong silently, they shifted targets and staged the Room 311 Dismemberment Case.
"Knock knock knock..."
Kneeling before Lin Chen, Liu Xiaojing struck her head hard on the ground, begging,
"Officer Lin, I confess all my crimes. Whatever punishment I deserve, I accept. You're a Great Detective. Please help punish Zhou Dayong, that beast who humiliated my mother. If not for him, my mother wouldn't have died..."
Liu Xiaojing's forehead bruised and soon began to bleed from the repeated banging.
"Stop her!" Zhang Tian'ai rushed forward, fearing Liu Xiaojing would injure herself.
Zhou Dayong's face was dark. Though held back by officers, Liu Xiaojing desperately continued bowing to Lin Chen.
