"That's right. Before confirming the entire building, I didn't even make a sound with my footsteps," Logan Carter replied.

"Good, please continue," said Scram.

Logan Carter pressed his lips together, then continued, "The other corridor on the first floor leads to the cafeteria. There are a few rooms along the way, which I also checked one by one, but found no more bodies. After that, I walked back a bit and took the stairs up to the second floor.

"From the second floor up to the fourth floor, the basic layout is the same—near the stairs are offices, next to those are fully equipped break rooms and restrooms; further in, there are several high-security electronic doors. When I arrived, those doors were undoubtedly already open... On the other side of the electronic doors, the area consists of restrooms and dormitories in even worse condition than some prisons.

"I searched from the second floor all the way to the fourth floor, and saw a total of twenty-seven bodies: twenty in the corridors, four in the offices, and three in the restrooms. All twenty-seven were adults, and all died outside the electronic doors that 'separate the two areas.' The cause of death was the same for all: only the head remained, the body had liquefied."

"So, from the first to the fourth floor, the total number of... heads you saw on the liquid was thirty-one," Scram continued.

"Yes," Logan Carter replied. "Then, I went up to the fifth floor..." As he spoke, his tone changed slightly, indicating that the situation on this floor was different from the others. "The layout of the fifth floor is... 80% of the area consists of 'treatment rooms,' more than a dozen in total. Each room has two hospital beds with restraints and several devices labeled 'treatment instrument' for electric shock.

"Going all the way in to the deepest part, the innermost 20% of the area is separated by the most advanced electronic door in the entire building; behind that door, there is a very spacious director's office, a coffee room, a bathroom with a shower, a monitoring room, and a direct elevator to the first-floor parking lot.

"On this floor, I slowed down and carefully checked every room, but found neither living people nor bodies.

"So, finally, I went to the monitoring room, used the phone there to call the police, revealed my identity, and explained the situation."

With that, his account came to an end.

Scram listened while watching Logan Carter's facial expressions. After he finished, Scram was silent for a moment, then said, "Hmm... I understand..." He nodded. "Well then... before we end this record, let's confirm the timeline." As he spoke, he tapped a few times on the projection screen, pulling up several short videos and digital records. Looking at the screen, he read, "According to street surveillance, you left the clinic and met Officer Bolton at 18:22, and left in his car at 18:27. Since there is no surveillance on the section of road where the Sunshine Youth Behavior Correction Center's main gate is located, footage from a camera twenty meters away at the intersection suggests you arrived there at about 18:36. Do you have any objections to this?"

"Throughout the incident, I only checked the time twice. The first was before leaving Dr. Clark's clinic, when I glanced at the clock on the wall—I remember it was around six-thirty," said Logan Carter. "After that, the next time I checked was when I called the police from the monitoring room, and by then it was already 19:25... During that period, my attention was entirely on the crime scene, so I didn't pay attention to the time. Therefore... if you have relevant evidence, I have no objections; everything should be based on objective evidence."

After all, he was with FCPS, and his words were watertight. When faced with questions that could lead to follow-up issues—those centered on "did you" or "is it"—he would never foolishly answer with a simple yes or no, as that might allow the other party to cut off any further explanation he wanted to add.

When asked such questions, the correct approach is: say what you want to say first, and only then give a yes or no. If the other party interrupts you before you finish and pressures you to "just answer 'yes' or 'no'," you simply ignore them and calmly repeat your interrupted sentence from the beginning, until you have fully expressed what you want to say.

These are basic countermeasures when facing leading questions or "lawyer tricks." Someone like Logan Carter, who is very familiar with federal law and internal power struggles, would never show any obvious flaws in such conversations.

"Heh..." Scram listened to his answer, showing a half-smile, then said, "OK, your statement has been very helpful, Detective Carter. Thank you for your cooperation." As he spoke, he put away the I-PEN on the table and stood up again, reaching out his hand to the other.

"No need to thank me, it's just my duty. Even as an ordinary citizen, this is what I should do," Logan Carter politely shook his hand again. "So... if there's nothing else, may I leave now?"

"Oh, of course," Scram suddenly appeared very friendly. "I'll go say a word to the chief, please wait a moment."

He turned and walked toward the door.
