Chapter 1

"Oh my God, how much pain must the deceased have suffered in life?" Dad whispered, covering his mouth as he stared at the charred remains of the body on the ground. I was indeed in pain at that time, my entire body engulfed in scorching flames. I was burning, but I could not scream, nor could I die immediately. Even when I was being reduced to a pile of ashes, I was alive enough to feel the pain. In that final moment, I heard the killer's voice, "Haha, it hurts, doesn't it? I just want you to suffer." When I came to, Mom had already put on gloves and a mask as she stepped forward to examine my body. She was frowning slightly. "It’s too badly burned. We'll take it back to the station for an autopsy." My parents, who had once loved me so much, did not even recognize me. I laughed self-deprecatingly, my soul hovering in the air. However, no one could hear me, because I was already dead. My body was packed up and taken away in a car.On the way, the squad leader, Captain C

Chapter 2

My body was sent to the autopsy room. Mom put on a mask and began the examination. Her assistant suddenly asked her, "Hey, it’s almost New Year. Has Scott still not come back? It’s been two years."My parents framed me and sent me to prison two years ago. They kept this secret from everyone, only telling them that I had gone to work in another city.When Mom heard my name, a look of disgust immediately flashed across her eyes. "Don’t mention her. She disgusts me.” She and Dad hated me deeply because they believed I killed my sister. I will never forget how my life changed after my sister left.At the start, they kept me from school before sending me to work at a construction site. When I came back, they made me eat scraps meant for the dog at the doorstep. I cried as I ate, feeling nothing but grievance in my heart."Does it hurt?” Mom had taunted. “But did you suffer as much as your sister did? She was burned alive in that fire! She was only 19, and in the prime of her life!"Dad

Chapter 3

Mom reported the conclusion of her autopsy to Dad and Captain Carter, who were standing at the door.“This murderer is really cruel. Just like that, a young boy died,” Captain Carter said.“Speck, this murderer targeted Selene and Scott before. I'm worried that he might go after the boy. You should let him know not to go out much for the time being.”“It's better if he dies,” Mom said angrily.“I actually hope he gets killed. Selene would be avenged then,” Dad said coldly, “He just called me. He'll be fine.”‘But Dad, you don't know that was the last call I would ever make to you. You will never hear my voice again,’ I thought to myself.It did not matter, however, as they hated me so much. They would probably rather not hear my voice anymore. I actually feel quite relieved that I was dead. Now that I was, I no longer had to be hated by them. I no longer had to live with the guilt of killing my sister. My life had been really tough over the last few years. “Hey now, Scott was a

Chapter 4

Early the next morning, Mom and Dad were preparing to drive to the police station when a girl stopped them. I recognized her immediately. It was Nina Travers, my former high school classmate. We had made a pact to apply to the same university and start a relationship. Instead, I was sent to prison by my parents."Mr. Speck, Mrs. Speck, do you know where Scott has gone? Can you tell me?” she asked, her eyes were a bit red.Judging from her words, she must have been searching for me for a long time. I really felt for her, but I could not make it up to her anymore.Mom got out of the car. "Young woman, you’re so pretty, so why do you keep thinking about that terrible person? There are better men in this world. He’s not right for you.""No, he’s not a terrible person. He’s my boyfriend," Nina said stubbornly.My heart was full of emotion. I did not expect her to still remember our promise."Alright, alright, hurry up. We still have to investigate the case today,” Dad urged. With that

"Then why was there a body at the scene back then? And why was the DNA yours?" Dad asked, his face filled with confusion. Selene’s eyes shifted for a moment before she answered, "It was the murderer who died, so I took advantage of the situation and had Faris help me swap the DNA results." "Are you saying that the murderer was a woman?" "Yes." No, that was not right. The murderer who took my life was definitely a man. With those skills, it could only have been a man. I looked at my sister, unsure if she was lying or if the murderers who attacked us were different people. I did not think she was lying though. After all, she had no reason to lie. Therefore, it must mean that the murderer was a different person.Mom tapped Dad’s hand, smiling. "Alright, let’s stop with the interrogations. Selene is finally back and there’s no rush to catch the murderer. Let’s all have a good meal together. I’ll go cook.”"Selene, I’ll make you your favorite honeyed ham.”I had not had a

Chapter 6

Mom cooked a feast and set the table, her face all smiles. I had not seen her smile like this in a long, long time. Dad was also very happy, taking out a bottle of his treasured red wine. I felt like a little voyeur, peeking into their happy family life. At that moment, Dad's phone rang. It was a call from Captain Carter. Just as he was about to answer, Mom interrupted him, “Don't answer it. They’re probably asking you to go back to work. Right now, spending time with Selene is the most important thing.”Selene smiled and said, “Yes, Dad, I haven’t seen you both in so long, I really miss you. Let’s go to Santa Anna for a trip tomorrow. I bought us the tickets already. You two should just push your work aside.” Mom and Dad agreed without hesitation and a sense of emptiness filled my heart. If this were a novel, it would probably be the perfect ending by now. Why was I still here though? Why did I still have to watch this family? I really did not want to watch anymore. After all, t

Chapter 7

Dad finally stopped doubting then and tears began to fall from his eyes uncontrollably as his whole body trembled."I... I..." He could not utter a single complete sentence for a long time and I never expected him to actually cry for me.‘Dad, do I still have a place in your heart?’Like a madman, Dad drove to the police station. The moment he got out of the car, he collapsed to the ground. Captain Carter rushed over to help him. His eyes were also red and swollen, clearly having cried.“Speck, don’t be sad, everything will get better."Dad was helped to the outside of the autopsy room, where my charred body lay on the autopsy table inside. He stepped in, covering his mouth and suddenly gagging. Crying, he pounded his chest hard.“God, are you mocking me? My son, were you in pain?" He was a criminal investigation professor and was well aware of the agony someone would endure if they were burned to death.He looked at my body, raised his hand, but did not dare to touch me. Captai

Chapter 8

Mom and Dad each held a safety charm in their hand as they entered the house. Selene and Faris had just finished setting the table. Smiling, Selene said, "Mom, Dad, you must not have been eating well these past few days. You need to take care of yourselves, for Scott's sake. Only then can you find the murderer." "Yes," Mom replied hoarsely."Where is Nina?" "She already left. She said she had to go back to school." A sense of melancholy washed over me. I probably would not see Nina again, but it was fine. I wished her a good life from now on. Dad did not say a word. He just picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth while Mom took a sip of soup. The next moment, both of them seemed to lose focus. Selene suddenly smiled at them. "This time, it's your turn to die." My heart skipped a beat. So she really was not my sister? Who was she? Mom and Dad began to lose consciousness, but they were still half-awake. Selene and Faris quickly tied them up and then starte

Chapter 9

Luisa was forthcoming at all in the interrogation room. She yelled Dad’s name loudly before saying, “Do you want to know what your daughter and son’s final words were? The videos are inside my phone.”Captain Carter quickly fished out her phone where he found two videos in the album. The first was of Selene. She was gagged by a towel as Luisa peeled the skin off her face. Her face was bloody as she sobbed. In the moment before she was pushed into the fire, she looked into the lens and said, “Mom, Dad, Scott, let’s meet again in the next life, okay?”“Selene! Oh, my baby!” Mom cried hysterically. Dad was gripping his chest, his face ashen.The second footage was of me. And probably now that they had some experience, Luisa had made my death experience even worse than my sister's. She cut off one of my ears and got me to call Dad to beg for help. “Dad, help me! I’ve been kidnapped! They cut off my ear!”“You’re no longer my son! Don’t contact me again!” came his crisp reply for everyo
