Let's Get Married novel Chapter 568

The captain has got Hawk's confession, including many details that he hasn't asked before: his boss, or the leader of the collaboration, all sorts of underground deals, and many key locations and people.

More than what they have thought.

What they have seen is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are still many things uncovered in this cross-border smuggling case.

Although having got what he wanted, the captain doesn't hurry to leave. He stands at the door and looks at Hawk, who has lain back on the small bed. He's tall and cannot even stretch his legs on the bed. He has to curl up but shows no awkwardness.

The captain has personally captured quite a few criminal leaders, but he has never seen anyone who was as calm and relaxed as him, even without a little awkwardness.

The captain suddenly recalls what Hawk said just now. He wants to live in another way, but things aren't very likely to go as he wishes.

"You took the initiative to confess, so we will apply for you a lighter sentence. But you have committed too many crimes, after all, it may not work a lot," the captain tells him the truth.

Hawk looks at the ceiling above his head and chuckles, "I didn't want to walk out alive."

The captain frowns slightly, somewhat surprised, "Then how do you live in another way?"

"Must I be alive to live in another way? Death is also a way to do that." He sounds casual, even casual about the word 'death'. "How would I still be afraid of death?"

If people like him couldn't get rid of the fear of dying early, they wouldn't be able to endure it. After so many years of high-wire acts, death is not of a thing. Whether or not he feels any pain depends on himself.

The captain frowns more, hearing his reply. He doesn't care about life or death, but how about those innocent victims? As a policeman, what he hates the most is that the criminals have no respect for death.

However, he can't figure out why Hawk suddenly changed his mind. During the two weeks, since they had successfully captured him, they hadn't managed to get any information from him, but just now he told them everything. What led to such a big change? Maybe it's Lily's 'death', the only unexpected thing for him lately.

The captain has a guess and asks him uncertainly, "It is Lily's death that affects you."

Hawk feels as if he has heard a joke, "Nobody can affect me."

Then, he repeats what he just said again, closes his eyes, and speaks no more. The captain looks at him, who is in the darkness, judges that he wouldn’t say anything else. He has an approachable aura, and no one can know what this man is thinking.

The captain leaves the small room and walks out of the police station. The air outside allows him to breathe more smoothly. Holding the confession and the video in his hand, he feels relaxed a little.

However, just as he's about to dig deeper and get more effective information from Hawk, he receives an emergency call from the duty officer at around 6 a.m. the next morning.

Hawk has committed suicide.

He immediately rushes to the police station. It has been only three or four hours since he met Hawk, but now he's lying in the cold forensic room.

"He's dead." The doctor lifts the cloth on his head and says, "He took the poison. We found some residual poison in the depths of his cochlea. It's a kind of white powder, extremely poisonous. It only takes five milligrams for a person to die."

The captain glances at the dead face and turns to ask the policeman, "Did you find anything at the scene?"

"No." The policeman thinks for a moment and then says, "He folded a piece of white paper and stood it on the table, and there's nothing else."

"Where's the paper?"
