Features: Marie-Thérèse was destroyed, and after the police investigation and evidence collection, it was concluded that her cousin Claire did it. The motive is said to be unclear, possibly due to mental instability. Is Claire mentally unstable? Why did she kill her cousin? The victim had been loyal to her for seventeen years, managing the household, even Claire herself saying she still liked this last relative she had from her hometown. The author conducted three interviews with their acquaintances, the killer's husband, and the killer herself, compiled the recording of the conversations, and handed them over to us for judgment. The three interviews approach the story from three perspectives, at three levels, delving deeper and deeper, revealing the characters' situations, behaviors, and mentality, profoundly disclosing the loneliness, suffering, coincidence, and complexity of life.
