But there are some things I can't tell anyone, and I wanted to create an ally who was on the same wavelength as myself.

If I got the money from Helson Swiney, our employment relationship would be established, and he would become a murderer.

I thought that would be interesting, as we'd have more in common, and I'd have a true confidant.

I believed he would make a good accomplice."

"Then why did you kill Helson Swiney?"

"After I learned you'd found Gelina Sweeney's body, I knew you'd definitely look for Helson Swiney. I was afraid he'd slip up, so I went to see him at night.

I wanted to remind him and, at the same time, test his attitude.

Meanwhile, I was prepared for both possibilities. If Helson Swiney was grateful, I'd get my commission from him, our employment relationship would be established, and I would have a reliable helper in the future.

If Helson Swiney wanted to betray me, I'd kill him and make him a scapegoat."

Luke pressed on, "Did Helson Swiney choose the latter?"

"No, the bastard's attitude caught me by surprise.

He acted very shocked.

He said he was so drunk that he had forgotten what he said that day.

He didn't even know it was me who killed her and even advised me to turn myself in.

I was a bit stunned myself but decided to kill him for safety's sake."

"How did you trick him into writing the suicide note?"

"It was simple. I pulled out a gun and threatened to kill him.

He begged for mercy.

I told him I didn't want to kill him either; I was just afraid he would report me to the police. He promised he wouldn't.

So, I had him write a confession letter, claiming if he reported me, I would give the letter to the police, saying he hired me to kill.

Not wanting to die, he naturally wrote it."

"Did you force him to drink the sleeping pills too?"

"No, after the idiot wrote the confession letter, afraid I'd kill him, he thought of getting me drunk.

I agreed, pretending to go along with it, then slipped sleeping pills into his drink and staged a suicide by gas."

Henry Rogers sighed regretfully, "Killing him, I actually felt sad.

I really hoped to find a confidant, a friend I could share my heart with, a good helper.

Unfortunately, he didn't pass the final test..."

"What about Novina Jones? Why did you kill her?"

"That streetwalker?"

"Yes."

"She never told me her real name; she was a bad woman, too."

"Were you close?"

"As I said before, after Marta left, my emotions were very unstable. I didn't want to kill. I tried various ways to vent my emotions.

Streetwalkers were one of the ways.

I saw Novina Jones a few times; she was good, very beautiful, skilled, and I liked her.

On September 15, two months after Marta left, I was feeling down and wanted to clear my head.

I approached Novina Jones, but she rejected me.

I was angry. It's normal for me to pay for services; why did she refuse me?

Did a streetwalker look down on me, want to stay away from me?

I was furious, lost control of my emotions, and killed her.

Then I dumped her body into the river..."

Luke said coldly, "You killed a young girl who wanted to turn her life around."

Henry shrugged, "Wow, so she wasn't rejecting me, she was rejecting everyone. Knowing this makes me feel much better. Thank you for telling me this."

"Thanks also for your confession. I'm sure your death sentence will be handed down soon. I'm looking forward to that moment." Luke stood up, ready to leave.

Henry called out, "Hey, have you forgotten something?"

"Do you have other cases to confess?"

"No, I've confessed already. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?"

"What promise?"

Henry's expression turned angry, and he pointed at Luke, "You promised to let me see Marta, and besides, you said you never lie!"

"You're right, I never lie.

But first, you have to be human." Luke dropped this remark and walked straight out of the interrogation room.

Jackson showed a disdainful look, "Try to be human in your next life!"
