Goodbye, My Father1

When the criminals murdered me and left me abandoned in a pigsty, my father was accompanying his adopted daughter for her coming-of-age ceremony.

It was also my birthday that day.

However, I suffered cruel humiliation and abuse at the hands of criminals.

In a sudden impulse, they made me call for help, so I called my father.

But he said, "I've already told you that you're not my daughter anymore. If you want to die, die far away!"

That night, my father was called back to the police station due to a major homicide case.

Despite being a coroner, my father was hailed as the Sherlock Holmes of murder cases, renowned for his exceptional insight and deductive skills.

However, after spending the entire night examining my mangled body, he found nothing at all.

Dad, did you truly not recognize the girl sealed inside the body bag?
