Chen Shifeng answered that it was because Liu Xin told him that Jiang Ge worked in an izakaya and didn’t get home until eleven o’clock. Chen Shifeng knew that Liu Xin usually didn't get home until midnight, and he wanted to see Jiang Ge before Liu Xin came home. But he didn't see Jiang Ge until twelve o'clock that day. He was worried that Liu Xin would come back first, so he hid on the third floor.

"I tried to take the knife away. I tried to break her hand off. If I wanted to hurt her, I would just stab her, wouldn't I?"
