At this moment, in the small and silent interrogation room, Li Mountain hung his head, remaining silent for a long time.
Finally, he slowly lifted his head and spoke, "I'll talk... I'll say it all."
"It was 10 years ago, on a very ordinary night. I only remember Li Tao suddenly rushing out of the house."
"I got anxious and chased after him, searching all around the village, by the fields, and the riverbank, calling his name, but I didn't see a trace of him."
"After an hour or two, I had no choice but to go back home."
"When I got back and opened the door... I saw him sitting in the corner of the living room, his whole body, hands, and clothes covered in blood, dark red, one patch after another."
"I was terrified, rushed over and asked him, 'What's wrong? What happened?' But he just sat there, staring blankly ahead, completely unresponsive to my words."
"That look... wasn't like him at all."
