Hongbin did not like to tell people about the things he was working on, but considering these specific pictures were from a cold case that he was using to play armchair detective in his spare time (as if he didn’t get enough murder on the job) and he was in the library, he did not mind sharing the photos with the strange girl who hadn’t given him much of a choice anyway. The photos could be found with a quick google search, so there was no harm in it.
He did, however, object to what she said. “Not all men are monsters,” he corrected, shaking his head. “But you could say that all monsters are men. If you use the term ‘man’ to mean humankind, I mean.”
Her next question made him raise an eyebrow, but he turned his attention back to the photos. “Based on the spatter on the ceiling and headboard, it looks like the suspect used a knife. Stabbed the victim... approximately fifteen times, I’d say. Then slit the throat, which was rather unnecessary.” He paused, glancing back up at her. “You’re not... disturbed, at all?” He was starting to get a weird vibe from her, if he were being honest.
