I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 141

Inside the director’s room.

Zhang Sheng stared at the barrage of comments flying across the screen, all saying “Chen Shu still has a plan,” and his heart sank a little.

He just couldn’t figure it out! What kind of plan was this supposed to be? Leaving his own fingerprints on the murder weapon on purpose, so the investigation team could find him? Wasn’t this just outright giving up?

As a criminal, instead of trying to cover up traces, he deliberately left evidence behind.

As long as the investigation team found the shovel hidden under the table, tested the fingerprints and the bloodstains on it, they could easily conclude that it was Chen Shu who used the weapon to kill Yamamoto Sakura.

Wasn’t it that simple?

Zhang Sheng thought bitterly. Damn it, even an outsider like him could see this so clearly, yet the audience was still hyping up Chen Shu! What the hell was this? Blind idol worship!

Unconvinced, Zhang Sheng pulled out his phone and used his personal account to type a message in the livestream comments.

“Stop praising Chen Shu. Please have faith in the investigation team. Once they find the shovel, Chen Shu will be convicted. This is blatant self-sabotage. As the director, I find this laughable.”

The moment he sent this out, the audience immediately began teasing him.

“Yo yo, look who it is!”

“Aiyooo, the director himself has arrived.”

“Giving up? Director Zhang, have you forgotten the previous episodes? We all thought Chen Shu was giving up then too. How long ago was that? Don’t tell us you have such a short memory?”

“Director Zhang, ease up on the ‘exercise,’ it’s hurting your brain.”

“You loved hyping up that Japanese star, look how awkward you are now. Trash director, why don’t you go eat shit?”

“Hey hey, don’t curse him yet. I actually think the director has a point. Once they find the shovel, test the prints and blood, they’ll know Chen Shu did it. But yeah, can’t deny he’s a trash director for hyping up that Japanese girl. Ptui!”

Zhang Sheng immediately turned off his phone screen. Damn it. Nowadays, the last thing you wanted to mess with was the netizens. Still, he wasn’t angry.

“Just wait. You all keep hyping up Chen Shu. The moment they find that shovel, you’ll see the truth for yourselves.”

In the nurse’s office, under the dim light, Qin Min used tweezers to carefully collect the fragments of skin and bloodstains from the filing cabinet, sealing them all into transparent evidence bags.

He spoke again, “From the traces here, someone was definitely injured by the cabinet. Whether it was Su Xiaoxiao, we’ll only know after the autopsy.”

Su Hao Ran shook his head. “Impossible. If Su Xiaoxiao got hit by this thing badly enough to bleed, there’s no way she’d still have the strength to threaten Sakura, let alone drag her off the building. I’m more inclined to suspect that mortuary attendant.”

Hearing this, Qin Min frowned. “You’ve reminded me. When I checked Liang Wei’s leg injury earlier, it wasn’t a graze from a fall. It was a deep dent below the knee, like something heavy struck him. So most likely, this cabinet injured him.”

The four of them exchanged glances.

Wang Zheng said, “So it’s possible that Liang Wei and Su Xiaoxiao teamed up against Sakura, and during the struggle, Sakura accidentally triggered the trap she set up to scare them, and ended up injuring Liang Wei?”

“No, no,” Yamamoto Yuu shook his head. “When my daughter and Su Xiaoxiao fell from the building, we had already arrived at the scene. If Liang Wei had been in that room, he couldn’t have escaped. He must’ve left before my daughter died.”

Wang Zheng scratched his head, thinking. “That would mean Liang Wei came here before Sakura and Su Xiaoxiao fought. And Sakura injured him with the cabinet trap. But why was he here in the first place?”

“I swear, the investigation team’s starting to piece this together nicely.”

“Yeah, their deduction matches what really happened, Liang Wei did come before Su Xiaoxiao. But they still don’t know Sakura was already killed by Chen Shu before Su Xiaoxiao arrived.”

“Let’s see if they can find the shovel. Only then will they realize Chen Shu was there too.”

“They’ll definitely find it. Chen Shu deliberately left his fingerprints to draw everyone into the scene. Why? That’s the real mystery.”

“Let’s not jump to conclusions yet,” Yamamoto Yuu spoke again. “Even though Liang Wei’s injured, that doesn’t prove the cabinet did it. And if Chen Shu has incredible endurance, he could’ve been hit too and still stayed calm. Between him and Liang Wei, I suspect Chen Shu and his sister most, after all, they wanted my daughter’s bone marrow badly enough to kill her.”

Su Hao Ran said, “But Chen Shu’s… waste was still warm. He has a solid alibi during the struggle. Unless… unless he came earlier, fought your daughter, got injured by the cabinet, then gave up and went to the bathroom…”

“But Su Xiaoxiao didn’t give up. She came anyway and the real struggle happened. That’s how the fall occurred… and Chen Shu came out of the bathroom just in time to witness everything.”

“Alright, enough guessing,” Qin Min cut them off. “I’ll collect blood samples from both Chen Shu and Liang Wei later and compare them to the traces we’ve found. Then we’ll know for sure who the cabinet injured.”

He stood up. “Tell the officers to keep searching the scene. See if there’s any more clues. I’m heading to the morgue to perform autopsies on Su Xiaoxiao and Sakura.”

“Yamamoto-san was right about one thing, Su Xiaoxiao was sick. It’d be very hard for her to drag Sakura off the building in a struggle.”

“So I have to find out if Sakura was already dead before she fell. This is critical.”

First floor, morgue. Chen Shu stood quietly as the officers wheeled Su Xiaoxiao’s body inside. The cold white sheet covered her completely.

“Hey, Dr. Chen,” Liang Wei nudged Chen Shu with his elbow, whispering, “Thanks for not ratting me out again. I apologize for what I did before. If you ever need anything from me, just say the word.”

Though he said this politely, Liang Wei was already plotting in his heart.

Tonight, he’d move his wife somewhere safe. He’d make sure Dr. Chen never had any leverage over him again.

Chen Shu turned sideways, gave Liang Wei a small nod, then said softly, “Say hello to your wife for me. If I get the chance… I’d like to meet her.”

Liang Wei felt a cold chill run down his spine.

“What the hell… meet my wife?”
