Chapter 689
In the end, Elvira was not saved and died in the hospital.
Although the leaders from the base tried to keep it under wraps, news of the incident quickly spread on a large scale. Ultimately, Elvira brought it upon herself, so nobody felt sorry for her, but Crystal couldn’t help feeling uneasy about it.
It was not because of Elvira, but because her throat was slitted.
Slitting someone’s throat was an extreme method of killing, even among other violent methods such as stabbing with a knife or striking with a heavy object. It carried a strong intention to kill from the very beginning.
The neck was one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Slitting a person’s carotid artery with a knife was like slaughtering an animal in a slaughterhouse. It carried a very clear purpose and involved directly cutting the neck to let the blood flow out. This meant that, in the eyes of humans, animals in a slaughterhouse were doomed to die and completely under their control. Even if the animal struggled, humans would see it as futile and insignificant, and they would pay no attention to the animal’s efforts to survive.
In that case, was Elvira like an animal in a slaughterhouse? In the eyes of the killer, Elvira was doomed to die, and he chose the method of slitting her throat to take her life, quickly and cleanly, with a strong desire for control and domination.

“What are you thinking about?” Natalie waved her hand in front of Crystal, took a bottle of water, and put it on her cheek. “You’ve been lost in thought.”
Crystal frowned and said, “I think Elvira’s death is very strange.”
“Hmm?” Natalie laughed. “You mean the incident where the murder was made to look like a suicide? Well, someone wanted to sweep it under the rug.” She pointed to the sky and said, “The leaders of the base are very anxious about this. It’s already troublesome enough that prohibited drugs have appeared here, and now there’s a vicious murder case…if it gets out, many people will be in trouble.”
Crystal said, “Do you also think it’s a vicious murder case?”
“Isn’t slitting someone’s throat vicious enough?” Natalie squinted and said, “Slitting someone’s throat is a very specific and purposeful way of killing. Many professional assassins don’t even use this method.”
Crystal exclaimed, “Explain to me then.”
Natalie said, “Do you know that a long time ago, slitting someone’s throat was a form of punishment that had a strong punitive element to it?”
Crystal’s eyelashes trembled. “Is it almost the same as cutting off one’s head?”
“Hmm,” Natalie said, “But you also know that human bones are very hard, and it’s basically impossible to cut off someone’s neck bone with a knife, so that’s why slitting the throat is often chosen.”
Punishment.
Crystal repeated this word in her heart.
The point that made her very uncomfortable about slitting someone’s throat was probably that it was a form of punishment.

“Why are you talking about this in the daytime?” Annette, who was next to her, touched her own arm and said, “You made me break out in a cold sweat under the sun.”
Natalie looked at her with a smile. “I’ll go to your bed and tell you about it tonight then?”
Annette was speechless.
Annette said, “Let’s end our friendship.”
Natalie laughed.
She caressed Crystal’s head and said, “Don’t think too much. Elvira is dead. It has nothing to do with you.” “Did it really have nothing to do with me…” Crystal muttered.
She recalled Jacqueline, who was strapped onto the bungee jump in the amusement park and exploded into a
brilliant firework in front of many people. Would Elvira also end up like that? Crystal suddenly closed her eyes and told herself not to think about it anymore.
