“You don’t need to know who I am. What you need to know is that you are dying.”
Sunny’s face changes at this, and it is the first time for her to face the threat of death.
“Well...” She smiles calmly, “Do you have the right to decide whether I live or die?”
Then she hears a click, and then something cool touches Sunny’s temple, “What do you think?”
Now, Sunny just understands that provoking an evil person is a very horrible thing.
“You put the gun down first. And we have something to talk about.”
“Well?” The person seems to enjoy the feeling of playing the game of cat and mouse very much. She does not put down the gun, but says with a leisurely grace, “Then you speak.”
“May I ask why you want to kill me?”
“You deserve it!”
Hearing this familiar word, Sunny understands that the person belongs to PY Gangster.
Then, she ventures a name, “Bella?”
The person hesitates for a second, then pulls the gun closer, “You really want to die.”
Seeing this reaction, Sunny finally finds out who this person is.
“Bella, you do that because of Kevin?”
The person seems unwilling to mention this man, and so she changes the subject with a sneer.
“Sunny, how about giving you a chance to live?”
“Oh, can you be so kind?” Sunny knows that the person is Bella. And because they have a bad impression on each other, they are not speaking in a good tone.
“Well, of course, if I give up killing you, you can still live.”
Sunny looks at the dark figure in front of her, “Just like Kevin?” Sunny says suddenly.
The figure pauses, “Kevin, do you care so much about him?”
Sunny shrugs, “He’s my boyfriend, so of course, I care about him.”
Seeing that Sunny recognizes it so directly, the person pauses for a moment and then says, “You are so direct.”
“Not like you.”
The conversation seems to be going nowhere, and the person takes the gun off Sunny’s temple.
“If you don’t understand that, then just stay here.”
Sunny keeps silent. The person seems not ask her to understand anything.
“You want me to leave Kevin?”
“Will you?”
“No.”
“Well, that’s it.”
“Bella,” Sunny says directly, “have you ever thought that if you can just tell Kevin that you really care about him, he may change his mind?”
“Sunny, I don’t need your meddling.”
This indirectly confirms that this person is, indeed, Bella.
Sunny breathes a sigh of relief when she finds out who the person is, and then her next question catches her off guard, “Are you the head of PY Gangster?”
Bella chuckles, “Sunny, you think highly of me.”
“Bella, when Kevin thinks you are dead, he even goes to meet women who look like you. He wants to have a child that looks like you. Do you know that?”
“Stop talking. What I am doing now is not for Kevin. And he’s just a pawn in my game.”
“Is it?” Sunny sighs, “But didn’t you send those letters just to get me away from him? Are you giving up now?”
“Sunny, don’t talk about the past, let’s talk about the present. Isn’t he with you?”
Sunny suddenly find herself unable to argue with this, and Bella finds that if Sunny is unable to speak, Sunny will get more and more agitated.
“I promise he doesn’t know what I do when I come back, but his heart has changed, and his attention has shifted from me to you.”
Bella takes a deep breath, “So, Sunny, stop being insincere. It makes me sick.”
“Fine, I will shut up. But you may visit your own grave when you are free, and you will see how much he cares for you.”
“By the way, do you know that he has a split personality after you die?”
Bella knows that Sunny is just messing with her mind and trying to convince herself to let her go.
Of course, she knows that. But she could not help listening, so at last she covers her ears, but she does not know why she does not go away.
“Bella, you should admit that you see me as your enemy only because of Kevin, and that the PY Gangster is also your pawn.”
“Sunny, shut up, you are talking nonsense here, you don’t understand anything at all.”
“Bella, I think I know enough already. Why do you suddenly show up at Kevin’s house in the western suburbs the other day? Because you are coming from the place where Zola is kidnapped. And you think that you are seen by me or Kevin, so now you’re rushing to make sure whether we recognize you or not.”
“In addition, Greg died of poisoning in front of me, colorless and tasteless, and the police is still indifferent.”
“I’m not going to let anybody find out the truth. You just stay here.”
Then Bella walks away, and the darkness falls once more.
Now Sunny feels helpless, but she believes that Kevin will find her. But before that, it seems like a good idea to challenge Bella, who may tell her more about the truth.
On the other side, Kevin is checking the monitor of the hospital parking lot.
“Stop, this is it,” Kevin points out that it is a man in police uniform who carries Sunny away, “Barney, do you think this is one of yours?”
Barney takes a closer look, then turns to the man behind him and asks, “Have you seen Monty?”
Those people look at each other, and then someone says, “It seems we haven’t seen him since we’ve done the investigation.”
And Kevin finds that it is Monty that tricks Sunny.
Thinking of that, Kevin turns to ask Barney, “Do you handle the case upstairs in your hospital as an accident?”
Barney says, “No, although it looks like an accident, the doctor in the hospital also confirmed that the victim died of poisoning. We definitely can’t end the case so hastily.”
It seems that Sunny has been targeted long ago.
“Is it possible to trace the car to where it goes?”
After seeing the car, Kevin thinks it is probably a gang crime. Maybe the policeman and the reporter are working together.
Barney nods, “But we need to get the surveillance data from the hospital and go back to the police station. If you wants, you can come with us.”
“Thank you,” he says, “then I go with you.”
Barney nods. After going to the hospital, they go back to the police station.
“Elijah,” Barney says after returning to the police station, “You check the surveillance around the hospital and find it out. I suspect these two cases may be premeditated accomplices.”
Then Elijah goes to check the surveillance. And Barney asks Kevin to sit down first, because he is also a witness of the case.
“Mr. Quinn, can you give me a detailed account of the death of the Greg?”
Kevin recalls, then organizes the language, “He come to us this morning, and it seems that he has something to say about the PY Gangster, the former PY Gangster.”
Hearing that, Barney is a little confused, “Isn’t there only PY Gangster? Why is there a former one?”
Kevin shrugs, “I don’t know. He just told me that.”
“You keep going.”
“Then Greg suddenly grabbed his heart and looked miserable. We thought it was a heart attack, but the doctor said it was poisoning.”
“So it was you who went to ask the doctor?”
“Yes.”
Barney ponders for a moment, “Mr. Quinn, I know it’s not very nice to say that but it is possible that these things have something to do with your girlfriend?”
“No way,” Kevin says firmly, “She was too weak to stand up, let alone kill a grown man.”
Barney agrees him. Although he has a little doubt in his mind, he still does not say anything. After all, it is the policeman in the police uniform that is clearly shown in the monitor.
“Ok, roughly we all understand. Do you know where Greg’s house is?”
Kevin nods, “I know. I just visited yesterday.”
“Has anyone else been there besides you?”
Kevin shakes his head, “I don’t know.” Or he wouldn’t have been poisoned.
“We will judge the case based on the results of forensic tests. Thank you for your cooperation.” After shaking hands with Kevin, Barney goes out of the reception room with him.
Right now Elijah comes back, “Captain, I come back.”
Barney nods and goes to check the surveillance with Kevin.
It turns out to be pretty much the same as Kevin’s guess. The policeman has Sunny on his back after he confuses her somehow.
