I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 66

Why did Zeng Zhiwei kill Liang Wei?

From the audience’s perspective, it seemed like he wanted to show off his skills, demonstrating his high-level murder techniques.

After all, his mission was to protect Su Xiaoxiao, not just violate her. For a veteran actor who had spent decades in the Hong Kong film industry, this should have been child’s play.  So, by killing Liang Wei and completely eliminating the threat to his daughter, he was showcasing his abilities.

Director Zhang Sheng thought the same. Other than that, there was no real motive for Zeng Zhiwei to commit murder. But now, in the main livestream room, everyone was watching as Wang Zheng interrogated Zeng Zhiwei.

When asked, “Why did you kill Liang Wei?” Zeng Zhiwei’s response shocked everyone.

“Liang Wei deserved to die!”

“I love my daughter very much. She belongs to me.”

“But a few days ago, Liang Wei kidnapped my daughter and violated her in his car!”

“Ahhh! I’m in so much pain! My daughter is mine, and she was tainted by another man! Ahhh!”

“So I had to kill him!”

Inside the interrogation room, Zeng Zhiwei’s face twisted with rage. He perfectly portrayed a father with an unhealthy obsession and an overwhelming need for control over his daughter.

As soon as he said those words, Wang Zheng and the others exchanged glances. They felt a mix of shock and sudden clarity. So this was his motive for murder!

At the same time, the audience watching the livestream was completely stunned.

“What the hell? Su Xiaoxiao was violated by Liang Wei? So Zeng Zhiwei, who had a twisted sense of control over his daughter, killed Liang Wei to get revenge for her?”

“Is this real? I was relieved that Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t violated by Zeng Zhiwei, and now you’re telling me Liang Wei did it instead?”

“But violating her wasn’t part of Liang Wei’s mission, right?”

“Liang Wei: What’s wrong with a little improvisation?”

“Ahhh! No wonder Zeng Zhiwei killed Liang Wei. Now that I know the reason, I can’t accept it!”

“Liang Wei, you deserved to die, you beast!”

The audience erupted in chaos after learning the truth. Back then, Liang Wei had kidnapped Su Xiaoxiao at the school gate and drove her to Yonglong Mountain.

Since everything happened suddenly and even his car chase with Chen Shu was outside the planned storyline, the show’s filming crew didn’t manage to capture a direct perspective of the event.

Instead, they relied on drone footage, filming from above. This gave Liang Wei the chance to violate Su Xiaoxiao in the car without anyone noticing. Realizing this, the audience became even more outraged.

“Damn it, in a car? Liang Wei really deserved to die!”

“Wait, how did he even do it while driving?”

“Don’t forget, Liang Wei was a professional race car driver. Handling a car and a woman at the same time? Easy for him.”

“Liang Wei: A whole new level of ‘man and machine as one’!”

In the director’s room, Zhang Sheng’s eyelids twitched.

“So Zeng Zhiwei wanted to kill Liang Wei because he violated Su Xiaoxiao!”

“Seriously, Liang Wei, what were you thinking?”

“You could have lived a few more days, but you just had to provoke Zeng Zhiwei. Now you’ve seen his terrifying methods, haven’t you?”

Zhang Sheng thought Liang Wei was a complete fool. His mission didn’t include anything like this. What? Did he see Chen Shu improvising by chasing him in a car and decide he wanted to add something to his own script too?

Was he asking for death?

So reckless and eager to play around, he played himself straight to the grave!

A textbook case of self-destruction!

At the same time, the topic exploded on social media, instantly dominating the top ten trends on Douying!

“#Zeng Zhiwei’s Murder Motive Is Actually This#”

“#Twisted Father, Terrifying Actions#”

“#Liang Wei Deserved to Die#”

“#Liang Wei: A Playboy Even in Death#”

“#Liang Wei = Monster#”

Meanwhile, at his hotel, Liang Wei had logged off from the show and had no idea what was happening. When he woke up, the world had collapsed around him!

He stared at the trending topics flooding the internet, completely dumbfounded.

“What the hell?”

“What is going on?”

“Getting killed for no reason was bad enough.”

“And now I’m getting cyberbullied out of nowhere?”

“Who the hell violated Su Xiaoxiao? Don’t frame me! Doing that while driving? Sure, I’m a professional racer, but I’m not capable of something that insane!”

Liang Wei felt like the unluckiest man alive. Of course, due to the show’s rules, offline participants weren’t allowed to interfere with the storyline. That meant he couldn’t clarify or respond in any way.

He could only endure the internet’s wrath in silence.

Meanwhile, the show continued. Inside the interrogation room, after hearing Zeng Zhiwei’s motive, Wang Zheng asked again, “So you’re saying your daughter was violated by Liang Wei on the day of the kidnapping. Then why didn’t she call the police?”

“I don’t know,” Zeng Zhiwei shook his head. “Maybe she figured Liang Wei was already wanted, so reporting it wouldn’t change anything. Or maybe she was afraid speaking out would ruin her reputation, after all, she’s a young woman. It would be a huge shame for her.”

“And you?” At that moment, Su Haoran slammed the table and questioned him, “As Su Xiaoxiao’s father, after learning that she was violated, instead of comforting her or getting her a therapist, you chose to commit a crime and kill Liang Wei? What kind of father does that?”

“Not to mention, during our operation to capture you, what exactly were you doing to Su Xiaoxiao?”

“Your actions are no different from Liang Wei’s!”

“You’re both monsters!”

Hearing the accusations, Zeng Zhiwei roared, “She is my daughter! I raised her, gave her the best of everything! I love her, I love her so much! She belongs only to me! Any man who dares touch her, I will kill them all!”

Qin Min frowned. He quietly said to Su Haoran and Wang Zheng, “He has an unhealthy obsession with his daughter. It’s a severe psychological disorder. That’s why, when he found out she was ‘tainted,’ he lost control and killed Liang Wei.”

“Also, he framed Chen Shu to take the fall. Even though Chen Shu is his son, he sees him as a threat because he’s close to Su Xiaoxiao.”

Hearing this, Wang Zheng and Su Haoran inhaled sharply.

This criminal… is a complete psychopath. They couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up to the show’s production team. After all this time, this was the first time they had encountered such a deranged character.

What an impressive and original twist!

“Oh, right,” Wang Zheng suddenly thought of something. “Since your daughter chose to keep quiet, how did you find out she was violated? Did she tell you herself?”

Zeng Zhiwei gritted his teeth. “It… it was her diary…”
