I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 51

#The Body is in the Police Station Restroom! This topic instantly shot to the top of the trending searches. It immediately attracted the attention of the entire internet. Of course, when it came to this issue, netizens were divided into two sides.

One side believed that this was the truth. There was no other place to hide the body but in the police station. Otherwise, how could the authorities not find it? They marveled at Chen Shu’s methods.

The other side thought that Chen Shu was purely fooling Liang Wei, trying to get him to complete the first mission by searching for his son’s body and forcing him to take the risk of going to the police station. But if he really went, as a wanted criminal, he would be walking straight into a trap.

Was the body really there or not?

For a while, it became a heated debate among netizens.

Beyond the divided opinions, one fact was undeniable to everyone, “Liang is no match for Chen.”

After all, the show gave Liang Wei two missions: one was to find the body, and the other was to kill Su Xiaoxiao. At first, it seemed like he had the upper hand. After capturing Su Xiaoxiao, he intended to use her as leverage to force Chen Shu to reveal the body’s location.

However, despite being a professional racer, he actually lost!

Worse yet, Chen Shu turned the tables on him, making him a wanted man. Even after knowing the body’s location, he didn’t dare retrieve it.

“I’m dying of laughter. Liang Wei got taken out the moment he showed up!”

“Liang Wei: Bro, I called you here to be an extra, not to take me out!”

That afternoon, at the foot of the mountain, Chen Shu and his sister finally reunited with Captain Wang and his team. At the same time, Zeng Zhiwei arrived late.

“Xiaoxiao, are you okay? Where’s the kidnapper?” Zeng Zhiwei asked with concern.

“Dad, he ran away,” Su Xiaoxiao replied.

“Who was it that kidnapped you?” Captain Wang asked.

Su Xiaoxiao answered honestly, “It was Liu Liang’s father. He insists that I killed Liu Liang, and to avenge his son, he tried to attack me.”

“Officer, look at my daughter, she’s so obedient! How could she possibly be a murderer? Besides, you’ve already investigated. My daughter is innocent,” Zeng Zhiwei said. “So, Officer, you must catch Liu Liang’s father as soon as possible. Otherwise, my daughter will be in danger!”

“Don’t worry, we won’t let any criminal escape,” Captain Wang reassured him. Then, turning to Chen Shu, he added, “Earlier, you stole a car. The owner has already contacted us, but since it was for a rescue, they won’t press charges as long as you compensate them.”

Chen Shu nodded. “Understood, Officer.”

“If there’s nothing else, you should all go home. Be extra careful until we catch Liu Liang’s father,” Captain Wang instructed.

With that, Chen Shu and his family got into the car and left.

After they were out of sight, Qin Min asked, “Captain Wang, now that all the key players have appeared, have you noticed anything?”

Captain Wang nodded. “It’s clear now. Liang Wei’s mission is to kill Su Xiaoxiao and find Liu Liang’s body. He knew a perfect crime was impossible, so he planned to kidnap Su Xiaoxiao and use her to force Chen Shu to reveal the body’s location. But in the end, he got intercepted.”

Qin Min continued, “Then what about Zeng Zhiwei? Could it be that in this episode, he’s just playing the role of a good father protecting his daughter? After all, he doesn’t even know Liu Liang was actually killed by his daughter. Plus, we have no evidence to prove she did it. So even if he covers for her, it’s not technically a crime.”

“Maybe…” Su Haoran spoke up. “Maybe Zeng Zhiwei’s mission is to protect Su Xiaoxiao, preventing Liang Wei from killing her—basically taking on Chen Shu’s role from the previous episode.”

Qin Min frowned. “That’s still not a crime, though?”

Su Haoran smirked. “Hold on. What if Zeng Zhiwei chooses to kill Liang Wei to ensure his daughter’s safety?”

Captain Wang thought for a moment and shook his head. “That wouldn’t make sense. Liang Wei is already a wanted man. We’ll catch him soon enough, so Zeng Zhiwei has no reason to take action. It would be unnecessary. His mission must be something else.

Their conversation was broadcasted live. Netizens were spamming the cha.:

“Captain Wang has no idea that Zeng Zhiwei is actually obsessed with his daughter. His real crime is protecting Su Xiaoxiao while secretly trying to violate her!”

“This mission is insane! I want to see if they can solve it after Su Xiaoxiao gets attacked.”

“Wait a sec, since Chen Shu stopped Liang Wei’s crime, do you think he’ll stop Zeng Zhiwei too?”

“No way. That incident was unexpected, and the director didn’t have time to intervene. But now, the director is definitely keeping an eye on him. He won’t be allowed to interfere again.”

“Right. He’s stuck playing a background character now.”

Back in the director’s room, Zhang Sheng let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, nothing had gone off the rails. “Even though Chen Shu didn’t get eliminated this time, this was a warning for me. I need to keep a close watch on him so he doesn’t disrupt the storyline.”

“Thankfully, even though he stopped Liang Wei, he didn’t derail the upcoming developments.”

Zhang Sheng muttered to himself. Now that Liang Wei was wanted, he would have no choice but to find Su Xiaoxiao and attempt murder to complete his mission. At the same time, Zeng Zhiwei would do everything he could to protect her.

This would allow the audience to witness the clash between two fathers. One who turned to crime for revenge, and the other who is fighting a criminal to protect his daughter.

Of course, Zeng Zhiwei isn’t the good guy here. His idea of protection was twisted, he wants to violate Su Xiaoxiao, a man consumed by an unhealthy obsession disguised as fatherly love.

In the end, both men are bound to commit crimes. The only question is who would make the first move?

As for Chen Shu, Zhang Sheng was determined to keep an eye on him. Even escorting Su Xiaoxiao to and from school would be off-limits for him.

At 9 PM, Chen Shu sat in his bedroom. To the audience, he seemed to have faded into the background. But in reality, he was silently planning how to eliminate both of these twisted fathers.

“Brother…” Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open. Su Xiaoxiao ran in, disheveled and panicked, her clothes slightly messy and her hair in disarray. She looks utterly frightened. “Brother… Dad just tried to hurt me!”

“Huh?” Chen Shu’s eyes darkened. Looks like his suspicions were right. Zeng Zhiwei’s role in this was a deeply twisted one. “Are you okay? What happened?”

“I’m… I’m fine,” Su Xiaoxiao explained. “I had just finished my shower and returned to my room when I saw Dad rummaging through my things again. He said he was worried Liang Wei might break in at night and wanted me to sleep in his room. I refused, so he tried to drag me there. Luckily, I managed to escape…”
