Chapter 32: Chapter 31: "Unmasking the Culprit: Investigating and Catching the Perpetrator"I
Amidst the shadows of deceit and power plays, I found myself trapped in a web of helplessness. Reality had proven to be far more daunting than the novels and movies I once indulged in during my previous life. Determined to catch the culprit red-handed, I knew I had to tread cautiously, for the world we inhabit is one where power reigns supreme. My mind raced with thoughts of revenge, but I understood the need for discretion.
Having been exposed to countless detective movies and anime in my past life, I believed I possessed the skills necessary to accomplish my mission. However, I quickly realized that this task was beyond my capabilities. My uncle, a prominent and wealthy figure, held influence that could easily help him evade the consequences of his actions. If I were to expose him directly, he could manipulate his way out of jail and seek revenge. I had to approach this with utmost caution.
Crafting a plan in line with the movies I once adored, I decided to play the part of the victim. With a feigned lack of enthusiasm, I bid my parents farewell, expressing my intention to take a stroll around the mansion. As I observed my uncle's face, I sensed a flicker of disappointment, perhaps an indication that I had foiled his plans in some way.
Drawing upon my knowledge from my previous life, I was aware that my uncle engaged in illicit drug manufacturing, evading taxes by accepting cash as compensation. He had amassed a vast fortune, which he stored in an underground facility hidden within his mansion, directly connected to his laboratory and bedroom. This secret remained unknown to all but me. With a surge of determination, I embarked on a treacherous path, aware of the risks it posed to my life.
Arriving at the dairy farms, where the emergency exit to the underground facility resided, I discovered it was locked. My original plan had hit a roadblock, forcing me to devise an alternative strategy.
Contemplating the unimaginable, I steeled myself for the cruel actions I was about to undertake. Sacrificing the well-being of others was a heavy burden to bear, but my own life hung in the balance. Having endured a past filled with empathy, only to be met with hatred and betrayal, I resolved to live life to the fullest, even if it meant causing harm to others.
Gathering hay and grass, I meticulously arranged them around the emergency exit. A bottle of kerosene, discovered in a nearby area, became a critical element in my plan. With a steady hand, I doused the surrounding area, ensuring every inch was covered. The final touch was the inclusion of fireworks, providing the catalyst for the events about to unfold.
As I stepped back, observing the scene I had orchestrated, a mix of emotions coursed through me. Doubts and guilt wrestled with the resolute determination to unmask the truth. The path I had chosen was treacherous, and the consequences were unpredictable. Yet, in that moment, the fire of justice burned brighter within me than ever before.
