Zhao Mei (Criminal Case)

Zhao Mei is the villainess of "The Killer in the Rice", case #25 of Criminal Case: Save the World, the 3rd season of the crime solving game Criminal Case (release date March 24, 2016). She was a 15-year-old rice farmer who lived in the remote farming town of Yunnan, Asia and was friends with fellow rice farmer Guo Han.
When Guo was found murdered in the rice fields, Zhao appeared dismayed at her friend's death, while making a point of saying that Guo was "clumsy" and how she'd been trying to help toughen him up so he could survive. Later on, though, a slingshot was found with a message to Guo from Zhao, reading "Cowards die". When questioned by the player and Carmen Martinez about the vicious message, Zhao continued to contest that she had been trying to teach Guo how to be stronger, but that he would never go through with the dares and challenges she gave to him.
Ultimately, Zhao was proven to have killed Guo, having slashed his throat with a sickle and left a confession in drawings on a nearby bird feeder. When brought in for interrogation and asked for her motivation, however, Zhao simply claimed that Guo was (in her mind) not strong enough, and that it was "nature's way" for the weak to die at the hands of the strong. Zhao was arrested and put on trial, where she continued to give the same cryptic rationale for murdering Guo. At the insistence of Carmen, judge Nigel Adaku sentenced Zhao to be placed in a young offender's facility pending psychological examination. It was later revealed that Zhao was one of numerous orphans who had been recruited by the international terrorist organization known as SOMBRA.
