Adam was arrested.
By that time, Maxwell was already a corpse.
Will he be tormented in hell for his crimes?
However, he is likely to be torn to pieces by the girls he victimized first
Under the pressure of public opinion, the police dared not relax for a moment.
Even college students spontaneously organized a march.
They held speeches with the theme 'Granting Justice to the Victim.'
Group A found itself engulfed in even more turbulent flames.
Adam, due to the charge of murder, was detained pending trial.
I accompanied him silently.
Adam had grown thin.
Yet, despite his physical and mental exhaustion, his eyes shone brightly.
Like a candle flickering amidst darkness.
I leaned my head lightly on his shoulder.
"Did you see that, Sophie?" he asked.
I updated him daily on the progress outside.
"See what?"
"This world is actually good," he replied.
"Mmm."
There are so many righteous people out there.
The police are still out there arresting those who committed crimes.
The students aren't indifferent either.
Their hearts are filled with passion and justice.
And the wrongdoers are destined to be exposed under the sunlight.
He looked at me, "Darling, it's almost over."
----------
Another year passed.
Adam's final hearing took place on a winter day.
Before that, he made a shocking statement to the police:
"I killed another person, Maxwell's cousin, Nathan."
His method was so covert that even I don't know where Nathan's body was dumped.
The police had mixed feelings towards Adam.
"I'm willing to lead you to his body," he offered.
The officer escorting him had become familiar with him.
From the start, this senior officer had diligently worked on the case, playing an indispensable role.
Adam gave me an address.
He asked me to wait for him there.
"A year ago, I ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered there today; keep an eye on it for me. If she doesn't do it, give her a scare," he said.
It was still the same florist.
I hoped she would keep her promise.
He led them to find the body.
I followed the address to a small cabin quietly situated in the forest.
The inside was spartan: a bed, a table and chair, the cabin divided into two rooms, with the other being a bathroom equipped with basic bathing facilities and a bathtub.
On the table was a large bouquet of vivid black baccara roses.
The roses were deep in color, each petal velvety in texture.
For a moment, I thought I saw Adam as I first met him.
Dressed in fine suit, he sat leisurely in a booth, uninterested as several women approached him.
But his interest was lacking; his long fingers idly spun the ice in his glass.
To me, he was very much like the black baccara rose, arrogantly disdainful of everything, completely aware yet profoundly fallen.
I took a sip of my drink and approached him.
He lifted his eyelids and looked at me.
He smiled slightly.
My instincts are rarely wrong.
Among the flowers was a delicate little card.
It read: "To my little jasmine."
It was for his little Jasmine.
Beneath the bouquet was another card, seemingly written by the florist:
"I saw you on the news. I don't know if you can see this card.Was this for the girl you were going to propose to? Indeed, she was beautiful."
"Wishing you happiness and joy."
Can you truly be happy and joyful?
