I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 186

2:30 AM.

Click, click, creak.

Liang Wei gently turned the doorknob. Realizing the lights inside were off and that his wife wasn’t on the living room sofa, he cautiously carried his mother-in-law inside.

He had no choice, Chen Shu knew about the place in the small grove where he’d hidden the body, so he didn’t dare leave his mother-in-law there anymore. Other than that, there wasn’t anywhere on campus more concealed.

So, reluctantly, he brought his mother-in-law back home and stuffed her back into the ceiling above the bathroom. The lonely head of his mother-in-law was reunited with the embrace of her body once again.

When he was done, Liang Wei stood in front of the mirror, numb. In the dim light, he stared at his own face. Bean-sized drops of sweat slid down his forehead. He quickly splashed cold water on his face. Forcing himself to calm down.

A moment later, his nerves, which had just relaxed, went taut again. “Where did Chen Shu put Yamamoto Sakura’s body? Could it be… in my house?”

The thought struck Liang Wei suddenly. Goosebumps broke out all over him. Given Chen Shu’s personality, it was highly likely.

As the saying goes, if you help someone, you see it through to the end. Since he was helping his sister clean up the mess, he’d definitely do everything possible to sever any link between her and Yamamoto Sakura’s death.

“Chen Shu could very well put Yamamoto Sakura’s body in my house, because he wants to frame me! If that’s the case, then my house not only has my mother-in-law, but also Miss Yamamoto’s…”

“Because Yamamoto Sakura accidentally discovered my secret, I killed her to silence her… Yes, Chen Shu would definitely spin it that way and pin it all on me! I’m done for!”

Liang Wei glanced at the time. 2:43 AM, still early. If he found Yamamoto Sakura’s body in the house now, he’d still have time to get rid of it.

Liang Wei turned on the living room lights and began searching. He checked every corner and crevice. He moved quietly, careful not to wake his sleeping wife.

If she found out he had not only killed her mother but also her student… this marriage would be over for sure. And the child in her belly… would probably never acknowledge a murderer as his father.

At that moment, Liang Wei was full of regret. All because he’d gone soft-hearted and let Su Xiaoxiao come to the house to wash her hair. And now… that wash had scrubbed up a disaster. Searching for Yamamoto Sakura’s body, Liang Wei silently prayed.

Twenty minutes later, he had turned the place upside down. No corpse. Wait, there was still one place left. His wife’s bedroom. Since she became pregnant, they hadn’t shared a bed, sleeping in separate rooms.

Creak.

Liang Wei swallowed hard and slowly opened the bedroom door. Using the light from the living room, he gave the interior a quick scan. The room was simple, just a bed and a desk, nothing hidden.

“Hu~” He exhaled in relief.

But, before the breath left his lungs, another thought hit him, “What if Chen Shu had stuffed Yamamoto Sakura’s body under his wife’s bed?”

Back-to-back with his wife and the child in her womb, sleeping together. The thought shattered his composure. He walked in and bent down to look. Nothing but open space under the bed, no clutter, no body, he could see straight through to the wall on the other side.

“Nothing! Great, the body’s not in my house. Chen Shu never even thought of framing me. Or maybe… he didn’t dare. Hahaha.” Liang Wei smirked inwardly.

If that was the case, he had nothing to worry about. For his sister’s safety, Chen Shu would definitely dump Yamamoto Sakura’s body far away so no one could ever find it. The school’s surveillance cameras were off. So Yamamoto Sakura would be officially considered missing.

“Hahaha. Perfect,” Liang Wei thought with relief. “Unless Chen Shu wants his sister to die, he won’t let anyone find Yamamoto Sakura’s body. If there’s no body, no one will suspect me!”

“Heh, a student mysteriously disappearing from the dorms, hasn’t happened before? Of course it has! Chen Shu, Chen Shu… I can’t touch you right now, but likewise, you can’t touch me. We can both live in peace.” Liang Wei’s mood brightened.

He sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head, and looked at the sleeping An Jiayu. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, his eyes softened. He really liked this wife, he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

“Wuhu, Liang Wei finally kissed his living wife.”

“A Wei, kiss her again. Three years later, you’ll only be kissing a skull.”

“Hey, don’t laugh at Liang Wei. What if An Jiayu survives? The director said their history can be changed.”

“Can she really survive?”

“At least for now, the Chen siblings don’t seem to want to harm the couple. They both hold secrets about each other, and with Yamamoto Sakura’s body gone, the case can’t be solved anytime soon. They’ll live in peace.”

After kissing her, Liang Wei got greedy. His gaze drifted to An Jiayu’s swollen belly. Since getting pregnant, she always found excuses to stop him from touching it. That puzzled Liang Wei.

Sometimes he wondered if the child wasn’t his. Otherwise, why not let the father feel his future child? But he told himself he was overthinking. An Jiayu loved him and he loved her. After all, she’d nearly broken ties with her own mother to be with him. And he had killed his mother-in-law to protect the child in her belly.

They called this a mutual pursuit of love. A very romantic love story.

“Ah!” But when Liang Wei’s hand brushed her belly, she woke with a start, almost reflexively slapping his hand away.

“It’s so late, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?” An Jiayu demanded.

Liang Wei scratched his head and smiled. “N-nothing. I just got back from the night shift and wanted to check on you.”

“Aiya, I see you seventy or eighty times a day, what’s there to check? Go back to your room and sleep. I’m exhausted, I have to get up early tomorrow for the senior year orientation assembly. No time to chat.”

“Alright.” Liang Wei stepped out and closed the door slowly. The light spilling in through the crack narrowed and disappeared. The room was pitch black.

Suddenly, An Jiayu sat up. Her expression was tense. She clutched her belly, thinking, “This can’t go on. My husband will find out the truth eventually. If he learns the ‘child’ in my belly…”

“Sigh… I had no choice but to do this… I can’t be blamed… No! I have to make it look like an accident, make the ‘child’ miscarry! What kind of accident?”

She thought for a long moment, then her brows eased. “Tomorrow is the senior year orientation assembly. Students and parents will be packed into the hall. In the chaos, I’ll make sure someone bumps into me, causing a ‘miscarriage.’”

“But who should I get to bump me?”

Her mind conjured up the image of a timid young girl.

“Su Xiaoxiao!”

“She’s timid, with no parents, no one to back her up, just an older brother with no power or influence. After she bumps me, they’ll want to smooth things over quietly, and no one will suspect it was intentional!”
