Chapter 9

Author: From This Day On
Peter came over excitedly with the comparison report. I finally let out a breath of relief.

“It’s Warren’s.”

When he heard my answer, Peter was shocked.

“Warren? But we already collected all ten of his fingerprints. How is that possible?”

Seeing that Peter still did not understand, I explained Warren’s secret.

“He was born with a finger deformity. I checked his hands today. There were two surgical scars. The fingerprint from fifteen years ago must have come from his smallest deformed finger

  • The Mirror Says You're The Murderer   Chapter 9

    Peter came over excitedly with the comparison report. I finally let out a breath of relief.“It’s Warren’s.”When he heard my answer, Peter was shocked.“Warren? But we already collected all ten of his fingerprints. How is that possible?”Seeing that Peter still did not understand, I explained Warren’s secret.“He was born with a finger deformity. I checked his hands today. There were two surgical scars. The fingerprint from fifteen years ago must have come from his smallest deformed finger. After that, he had it removed and committed a new crime. The deformed finger was kept in the plastic surgery clinic, so the current fingerprints don’t match the old ones. But according to the doctor, Warren had two transplant surgeries. There might still be a victim we haven’t found.”I frowned and told Peter everything I knew. Peter shook his head in amazement.“That’s really unexpected. He transplanted his own finger, so there was no rejection. But who would think he had eleven fingers? Wh

  • The Mirror Says You're The Murderer   Chapter 8

    Warren was a grown man. Why would he go to a plastic surgery clinic?Could a clinic even change someone’s fingerprints?I got in the car and drove back to the station. I planned to check Warren’s fingers myself.The moment I walked in, Warren looked up and saw me. He started mocking me.“The killer from fifteen years ago is you.”I did not respond. I used what Peter told me and tried to trick him into telling the truth.“You’re the killer. Drop the act. We already traced the plastic surgery clinic.”Warren’s expression changed when he heard that.I pressed on.“We’ll find out who you really are soon enough. You can change your face, but you can’t erase what you did.”To my surprise, Warren started laughing.“So you found the other fingerprint. The killer is not me. That fingerprint belongs to you.”My blood ran cold when I heard that.How was that possible? How could that fingerprint be mine?Every time I handled evidence, I wore gloves. How could Warren have gotten my fi

    “H-how is that possible?”I gripped my phone tightly. I could not believe it.We had already caught the killer. Were we really going to let him go again because of a lack of evidence? Rebecca heard that, and her legs gave out. She dropped to her knees in front of the grave and could not get back up.I ended the call. My tone turned heavy.“The captain said the fingerprint lifted from the mirror doesn’t match the one from fifteen years ago. Warren is not the killer from back then.“Warren has confessed to today’s dismemberment case. But he refuses to admit anything about the case from fifteen years ago. It has been too long. Without solid evidence, we can’t convict him for that case.”Rebecca clutched my shirt tightly. Her eyes rolled back. She almost fainted.“Not him? How can it not be him?”I clenched my jaw. I raised my hand and wiped my tears.“Rebecca, don’t worry. I let him get away back then. This time, I’ll catch him and give your parents peace.”I helped Rebecca home

    Warren’s eyes widened. He stared hard at the mirror in my hand.I turned the mirror and faced it toward him.His face appeared in it.“Have you never seen a mirror before? It just shows whoever stands in front of it.”I said coldly to mock him. Warren looked at Rebecca in a daze. Then, he looked at Louis. Rebecca could not hold it in anymore. She covered her face and cried.“You monster! Why did you kill my parents? We had no bad blood at all!”Warren stretched his neck and tried to defend himself. “It’s clearly him! The killer is him!”I pulled Rebecca into my arms to comfort her. When I saw Warren still refusing to admit it, I raised my voice.“If there really was a mirror that could show the killer, that could reveal every suspect’s face, that would be best. None of you would get away.”Louis held the walkie-talkie and called for backup. Armed officers rushed in and took Warren into the police car.Jason ran over excitedly.“How was it, Ms. Parker? I reacted fast, right?”

    “That mirror has nothing to do with me at all. If you don’t believe me, you can test it. There’s no way my fingerprints are on it!”Warren heard me and panicked. He turned around and shouted in defense.“What do you mean, it has nothing to do with you? You were afraid of leaving fingerprints, so you wrapped it in a plastic bag! I saw it myself!”I laughed even louder.“I’m not some weirdo who needs makeup. Why would I carry a mirror around? I’m not the killer.”Warren was breathing hard. His eyes were sharp and hostile.“Still won’t drop the act, huh? You’re a murderer. I saw it with my own eyes.”Rebecca stepped in to stop the argument.“That’s enough. I see you really won’t give up until you hit a dead end.”She turned to Warren.“Warren, you’re sure you saw it with your own eyes, right? We can’t let a criminal slip away easily.”Warren looked a little confused by her tone, but he still nodded hesitantly.“Officer, I’m telling you the truth. You can’t let Titus go.”Rebe

    I watched Rebecca hand the mirror to Louis. I had a bad feeling.That strange mirror. Would it fool Louis as well?Louis was my senior at the police academy. I followed him everywhere back then. He treated me like a younger brother. He knew how many nights I stayed up trying to track the killer. He knew how many places I had gone to.The dismemberment scene back then was too brutal. He was the only one who insisted on going back with me. We returned again and again and searched for every possible clue.That was also when we carried out the chase together. We finally waited for the killer to return to the scene. We split up and moved in from two sides to corner him, but he still managed to escape.Louis looked at the so-called evidence in Rebecca’s hand. He was uncertain.“Rebecca, are you sure this is evidence? What can a mirror prove?”Rebecca’s expression turned serious. She seemed to think of her parents’ deaths. Her tears would not stop. She held the mirror upright and showe
