I\'m Edwin Wood. I was born in an ordinary family in France. My father was French, and my mother is American. So, I\'m a half-blooded race. But people who saw me think I was American and not very French.

I had a sister who had inherited our father\'s character perfectly. Unlike me, she was an utterly French child.

My mother told me I was probably the smartest kid in the world.

Since I was a kid, I found that I could see through everything. I could tell who was lying and who was telling the truth. As I was growing up, my thinking ability became stronger and stronger, or I could say… horrible!

But meanwhile, I found it hard to communicate with normal people.

When I was talking to them, it was like an adult talking to a kindergartener. I thought they were childish. I also didn\'t bother to disclose their lies. So I would rather stay alone.

Thus, I had no friends.

My mother worried about me and took me to a psychologist. The psychologist told her that I had autism. But I knew it wasn\'t the case.

I just despised people.

When I was fifteen, my parents had an accident while climbing the mountain, leaving my sister and me alone. Then I realized that the only meaning of my life was probably to take care of my sister.

But soon after, I found how powerless I was before death.

Two years ago, my sister was diagnosed with cancer. The doctor said it was too late that there was no way to cure her.

But I didn\'t believe it. I had to save her!

The cure needed a lot of money. I had never taken money as an important thing. But it didn\'t bother me. If I wanted money, it was easy to get.

In the newspaper, I read news about an international thief. According to the report, I could figure out where the thief was.

I went to a famous detective at the time, David Terry. He was a man greedy for fame and wealth. I could tell it from his resume. Every time he solved a case, he would ask reporters to report it. He made up a thrilling process to get admiration.

He had an adopted son Benjamin, an American. He had often mentioned how he had helped the American police solve a major human trafficking case and adopted the poor, orphaned child, raising him and supporting him to go to college.

Benjamin was different from David. He was better at handling cases than David, but he never liked to publicize or let reporters take photos of him. This young man should go further than his father.

I told David that I could help him solve the case. The credit would go to him, and I just want the money.

David didn\'t believe me at first, but I convinced him in five minutes. According to the more detailed information in his hand, I quickly and accurately deduced the criminal\'s hiding place.

David went there with the police and arrested the man.

After that, David said that he would cover my sister\'s medical expenses.

Later, I solved several major crimes for him, which soon made him the most famous detective in the world. Even the queen met him.

I didn\'t think it was unfair to me. On the contrary, I hated fame. I just wanted to do what others couldn\'t do silently. Then, in a place where people didn\'t notice me, I could see them smile.

But my efforts didn\'t make any difference, my sister\'s condition deteriorated and eventually died.

She left me. She left with all the meaning of my life.

***

After my sister died, I wondered if I should leave this boring world with her.

But David came to me at this time. He wanted me to help solve a case in America, the Odom Walker case, which shocked the whole detective world.

It was not a big case. The victim was just an accountant. But the thing was, the scene was so simple and so perfect that there was no clue to the murderer.

It piqued my interest. I studied it for days and found that I couldn\'t solve it either. It was a perfect crime.

But, a small mass of burnt at the scene intrigued me. It could be a breakthrough.

David heard it from me and thought it made sense. He said he would ask someone to verify what it was.

Then he told me the "someone" was the most intelligent person, Professor Green, at Glinton University.

Hearing that, I sneered.

Another celebrity hunter!

However, to my surprise, she solved the case with absolute evidence. And she told people that the burnt was meaningless.

There was no such thing as a perfect crime, just a lack of eyes for evidence, she said to David.

I wasn\'t convinced. She just hadn\'t seen a perfect crime.

The reason why criminals were exposed was that they were not smart enough. If I commit a crime, it would be the perfect crime in the world.

So, I decided to do this "perfect crime" experiment on her. She experienced it and would believe it.

Of course, I wouldn\'t make the crime come true. I didn\'t want to kill her. Who would I prove it too if she died?

I just wanted to come up to her when it was done and told her I could do the perfect crime!

I did some research and found that Professor Normand, Professor Green\'s colleague, made a self-ignition device. He had been secretly observing Sophia\'s lab, looking for a chance to put it in.

Meanwhile, Professor Thompson, another colleague of Professor Green, went to David because his grandson suffered several accidents. David asked me to protect the child.

I asked Professor Thompson to find a chance to break the lock of Professor Green\'s lab and then replace it with a new one. Professor Thompson specially made the new lock. A special lock for the perfect crime.

Professor Thompson was worried, I explained to him that Sophia wouldn\'t be in danger, and there would be no loss at all, he finally agreed.

Everything went as planned. Professor Thompson opened the door while Professor Green wasn\'t there. Professor Normand had been waiting for the chance and wouldn\'t miss it. He sneaked in, stole some information, and installed the self-ignition device.

Then, Professor Thompson removed all the combustible as I ordered. This way, the fire would only burn for a short time for Sophia to see.

I waited at home in peace, but what I got later was the news that Professor Green had died in the Glinton University laboratory fire.

Once again, I found myself powerless in the face of death.

I killed her.

Ironically, Albert, Professor Green\'s friend, the successor of the Pearson Group, went to David and asked him to help investigate the case.

I took the case in the name of Benjamin and went to the scene.

Just one glance, I knew everything. There was a burned toilet water bottle on the ground. That was the key to the accident.

I came to understand that the world was not entirely under my control. But it was too late.

It wasn\'t until then that I realized that Professor Green, whom I had never met, was probably the most important person in the world to me.

Her death made me think the world was boring again. At that time, I felt very tired, life for me was just a burden. I couldn\'t find anything to do. I had no interest in anything.

Until one day, I met a girl with the same name as Professor Green at the burnt lab.

She was a person I didn\'t find boring. I didn\'t like to talk to people, but I enjoyed talking to her.

She said she had a missing brother, so I jokingly called her sister. But soon, I found her real brother.

His name was Eddie Patton. The Pattons adopted him, the owners of the Patton Group. And his adoptive father happened to be the murderer of the Odom case.

Eddie had known that Sophia was his sister. But for some reason, he didn\'t tell her about it.

He found out I was investigating him, sent a few warnings to me, and even deliberately had Nicole set up a fake case for me.

I saw through the case soon.

In response, after learning about Eddie\'s plans, I contacted Nicole\'s ex-boyfriend, Joseph, and asked him to go to Nicole.

Later, it gave me a heavy blow again.

Nicole died!

I just wanted to play a trick on her. I didn\'t mean to kill her at all. But God made a joke to me again. Her death became an irreversible mistake for me.

I suddenly realized that the power I had had never brought me any good. What I had done seemed wise enough to make me get away with punishment, but could I escape the condemnation of my conscience?

Later, while secretly protecting Victor, I met Sophia again.

Just then, I had a feeling. Was she Professor Green?

I knew it didn\'t make sense, but I just felt that way. Even though I had never met her, I was the one who knew her best.

Victor was with her, and I didn\'t need to worry about him.

Later, it proved that she could protect him. She even noticed something I didn\'t think of.

Only Professor Green could do that.

She was Professor Green!

I was sure about it.

Finally, what I thought was a perfect crime was ruthlessly revealed by her.

I didn\'t panic at all. On the contrary, I felt a sense of relief.

I looked at her, and she looked at me.

She never knew what she meant to me.

When I wasn\'t around Victor, George took the chance and kidnapped him. Along with him was a fugitive. George was a fool. Even if he got the money, where could he go?

I had been feeling guilty about Professor Thompson. So this time, I wanted to end everything. George, I was tired of playing games with you.

Then I did it.
