I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 148

(TL Note: Warning: Disturbing content incoming, please read with caution.)

“It’s over.” Liang Wei stared at the pit where only Su Xiaoxiao’s hospital gown remained. His wife was gone.

“It was Chen Shu. He must have taken her away. When I was burying my wife last night, he definitely saw me. He won’t let me confess so easily. He doesn’t want me to get away with just a charge of corpse theft. He knows that his sister’s death and Sakura’s death are all tied to me.”

“So he’s still playing with me. Using me to wash away the injustice done to his sister.” 

Liang Wei pulled the corner of his mouth into a bitter smile.

From his perspective, the night Sakura died was because he had threatened Su Xiaoxiao, causing her to confront Sakura in a desperate fight, which accidentally led to them both falling to their deaths.

In truth, he was the real culprit behind the deaths of both Sakura and Su Xiaoxiao. So what now? Do nothing and let Chen Shu expose the whole truth?

Impossible. He had to find his wife! Her body bore his fingerprints and bite marks. As long as he found her, he could prove he was just a corpse thief. His going to the nurse’s office was merely an attempt to frame Sakura.

As for the deaths? He could claim complete ignorance.

“Wife!” Suddenly, Liang Wei sprang up, shouting across the empty field. Then he turned to Wang Zheng and the others. “I remembered the wrong spot. Wait here, I’ll go find her.”

Before anyone could react, Liang Wei took off running straight into the hospital, heading for the second floor. He knew Chen Shu had hidden her.

But where? His office? The restroom? Or Room 214?

“Stop him!” Wang Zheng ordered sharply. Several officers immediately chased after him.

But Liang Wei had been in this hospital for a while. Under the dim lights, he knew the layout well and ran without even needing to watch where he was going.

He charged into Chen Shu’s office, flipping over beds and chairs. He ran into the restroom, checking each stall one by one.

“He’s panicking now.”

“It’s obvious. Last night Chen Shu must have moved the body so Liang Wei couldn’t confess so easily. Chen Shu knows his sister’s death was entirely Liang Wei’s doing!”

“Chen Shu wants to drag Liang Wei fully into this case before he gets caught. Otherwise Chen Shu will get the death sentence, while Liang Wei might only get a few years. That’s unacceptable.”

“But where the hell did Chen Shu hide the body?”

Meanwhile, online viewers debated furiously, speculating about Chen Shu’s intentions.

After all, Su Xiaoxiao had only gone to Sakura because Liang Wei had threatened her. That was why she had foolishly reported it to the police early, ruining Chen Shu’s plan and why Su Xiaoxiao had been forced to die in Chen Shu’s place.

So now, Chen Shu would never let Liang Wei off easy. The police already had evidence, fragments of skin from under the fallen cabinet. If Liang Wei wasn’t the corpse thief, then his being in the nurse’s office could only mean he was planning something against Sakura.

Back in the field, Chen Shu and Wang Zheng stood silently among the weeds with the others, discussing the situation while waiting for the officers to catch Liang Wei.

Chen Shu stood to the side, quiet. Suddenly, a night breeze stirred the second-floor hospital windows. The curtains in Room 214 gently lifted. Chen Shu raised his head slightly, he looked toward Room 214’s window.

As the curtain swayed, a glimpse of a whole, assembled corpse could be seen hanging there. With hollow eyes wide open, it stared downward at Wang Zheng and the others on the field.

“Liang Wei, you’re useless to me now. You can go meet your wife.” Chen Shu thought this quietly to himself.

From this moment, all the groundwork was complete.

Inside Room 214, Liang Wei’s excited voice rang out. “Haha! I found her!”

Hearing this, Wang Zheng and the others looked up. They saw Liang Wei climbing into the window.

He shouted, “Officer Wang, listen carefully! I’m the one who stole the body. This is my wife. When I went to the nurse’s office before, it was to frame Sakura, but I failed. So her death and Su Xiaoxiao’s death have nothing to do with me!”

Liang Wei stood on the windowsill, untying the ropes binding his wife. He saw that Su Xiaoxiao’s upper body had been stitched together with other body parts.

“I knew it… How could I have eaten an entire torso?! So that’s what it was…”

Liang Wei stared at Su Xiaoxiao’s chest. The flesh there had been gouged out.

“So Chen Shu fed me that…”

“But Chen Shu, you hid the body in such an obvious spot. Now that I’ve found my wife, I can prove I’m the corpse thief. You can’t claim you secretly moved the body anymore. That means Su Xiaoxiao and Sakura’s deaths have nothing to do with me.”

“I’m about to pull off the perfect crime!”

Liang Wei was thrilled. Even if they caught him, it was worth it.

Corpse theft? Ha! That was nothing. Much better than being accused of deliberately threatening Su Xiaoxiao and causing the double death with Sakura.

Crack… crack…

Suddenly, just as Liang Wei finished untying the ropes, the window ledge beneath him gave way.

On the livestream, the effects team quickly rendered an AI-generated death scene. Liang Wei, holding his wife’s body, fell straight from the second floor.

“Help him, quick!” Wang Zheng shouted, racing over.

The whole scene descended into chaos, Liang Wei was dead. He had fallen to his death while clutching his wife’s corpse, right in front of the police.

Chen Shu shouted loudly, “What the hell were you all doing? So many of you were chasing one man and you still couldn’t catch him! Now look, Liang Wei’s dead! He ruined my sister’s body! What are you going to do about that?”

“Look at all the body parts he stole! There were two bodies in the morgue, two legs, two arms and now my sister’s upper body!”

“He’s a pervert! Did you see it? He ate my sister’s chest! He’s always had sick desires for her. He wanted to use her body to make his wife complete! My sister’s death is definitely tied to him!”

Hearing these words, Wang Zheng and the others looked deeply troubled.

Who could have imagined this? Liang Wei dying right in front of them like this? Was it even an accident? There was no way to know. After all, Liang Wei had just confessed, he had hidden his wife’s body at the window.

“My sister!” Chen Shu rushed forward, cradling Su Xiaoxiao’s upper body.

It was a tragic sight. Her chest had two gaping holes in it. As if bitten away, piece by piece, by Liang Wei.
