I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 67

“Speak clearly, what diary?” Wang Zheng scolded.

Zeng Zhiwei scratched his head. His memory of that night, when he accidentally peeked at Su Xiaoxiao’s diary, felt blurry, almost like he had been hypnotized. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind. Then, with dull eyes, he said, “That night, I entered my daughter’s bedroom to clean up and organize her belongings.”

“By chance, I found a diary hidden under her pillow.”

“As her father, I have the right to look into her privacy, so I opened the diary to see what she had been doing and thinking about every day.”

“But as I read, I came across an entry that filled me with unbearable pain and extreme rage!”

“It said that on April 25th, she was on her way to school when she was kidnapped by Liang Wei. In the car, he held a knife to her neck and threatened her, forcing her to take off her clothes.”

“She didn’t dare resist. The knife pressed deeper against her throat, and she was terrified to the extreme.”

“Ah, Liang Wei deserves to die! I wish I could kill him again!”

“My daughter is innocent! His son’s death had nothing to do with her, yet he insisted on believing she was responsible. He just wanted to humiliate her and take revenge for his son!”

“And then… and then…”

“In the car, my daughter was completely exposed, and he… he violated her… Ahhh, my poor daughter… I never even got the chance to cherish you properly…”

Zeng Zhiwei recounted what was written in the diary while covering his face and sobbing.

It was hard to tell if he was mourning his daughter’s suffering or feeling resentful that he himself hadn’t had the chance to possess her. His expression was the perfect portrayal of a deranged pervert.

Wang Zheng and his companions felt a chill in their hearts.

Meanwhile, in the livestream chat, the audience was filled with confusion.

“I remember that diary was written by Chen Shu, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, on that day, Chen Shu had his only task taken away by the production team, so he was bored and ended up sitting at Su Xiaoxiao’s desk, helping her write her diary. I remember it clearly.”

“Could it be that Su Xiaoxiao never told anyone about what happened with Liang Wei, except for Chen Shu? And when he helped her write the diary, he recorded it for her? After all, to Su Xiaoxiao, her brother was the only person she could trust.”

“Are you stupid? If he was just helping write the diary, why would he include something like that?”

“Yeah, if Su Xiaoxiao told Chen Shu, that means she was deeply distressed about it. She wanted her brother to comfort her, not write it down, turning it into a permanent shadow in her life.”

“I have a bold theory!”

“Quit stalling, just say it!”

“What if… Su Xiaoxiao was never violated by Liang Wei, and the diary entry was something Chen Shu made up?”

At West Suburb, Building 109. Chen Shu stepped out of the car and saw Su Xiaoxiao standing outside with an umbrella, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

“Brother…” Seeing Chen Shu return, Su Xiaoxiao ran up to him, shielding them both under her umbrella.

The sky grew darker. April weather in Haicheng was always unpredictable, and the rain fell heavier without warning.

“Brother,” Su Xiaoxiao hugged Chen Shu. “You’re finally back. While you were gone, I was so scared… It felt like everyone was out to hurt me… I know you’re the only one who truly cares about me.”

Chen Shu gently stroked Su Xiaoxiao’s head. “Sister… No one will disturb our peaceful life anymore.”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, finally smiling again.

Since clearing her name in the last case, her dependence on her brother had only deepened. It felt as if, without him, her world would collapse. She hooked her arm around Chen Shu’s as they walked into the house, step by step, under the falling rain.

“Watching their backs, why do I feel like this is such a peaceful and heartwarming scene?”

“Yeah, their sibling bond is real…”

“If it weren’t for Liang Wei’s revenge and Zeng Zhiwei’s twisted fatherly love, they could have lived a quiet life.”

“Ugh, don’t be fooled! Just because they didn’t do anything this episode doesn’t mean they’re innocent! Don’t forget, all of this started because of them.”

“Liu Liang was killed by them!”

“Damn, I almost thought they were the good guys.”

“Wait, I just want to know, was Su Xiaoxiao actually violated by Liang Wei? Did Chen Shu really make up the diary entry? Stay on topic, this is the key!”

“The detective team will surely question Su Xiaoxiao next. When that happens, we’ll know the truth.”

“If it turns out that Su Xiaoxiao was never violated, and the diary was just something Chen Shu made up… Damn, I don’t even want to imagine…”

Inside the director’s room. Zhang Sheng watched the screen, where Chen Shu and Su Xiaoxiao looked like they were living in peace. He scratched his head anxiously.

According to the planned plot and intended conclusion, both siblings were supposed to meet a tragic end, either killed by Liang Wei or arrested by the detective team after Liang Wei discovered his son’s body, reversing last season’s “perfect crime.”

In short, there was no happy ending for them! The show needed to return to its theme: Justice Always Prevails.

But now? Liang Wei was dead. Zeng Zhiwei was caught. Only the siblings remained unharmed!

“This isn’t right…” Suddenly, Zhang Sheng recalled the scene of Chen Shu writing in the diary. A strange thought occurred to him.

If Su Xiaoxiao really was violated by Liang Wei, and Chen Shu knew about it… Then, as her brother, there’s no way he would have written it down!

That would only immortalize her pain in ink. But if she was never violated, and the diary entry was purely Chen Shu’s fabrication…

Then that would mean… Zeng Zhiwei read the diary and was driven to kill Liang Wei because of it. Which means, everything was orchestrated by Chen Shu?

Realizing this possibility, Zhang Sheng broke into a cold sweat. No way. If that’s true, then Chen Shu had just committed murder without lifting a finger. He used Zeng Zhiwei’s twisted love to kill Liang Wei. At the same time, he ensured that this perverted father would end up in prison.

No, wait, murder carries the death penalty. Zeng Zhiwei would die! Which means… Chen Shu had once again used someone else to kill.

This time, using the law… to kill Zeng Zhiwei. “No, no, no… This is too insane!” Zhang Sheng shook his head and refocused on the livestream. “We’ll wait.”

“Wait until the detective team questions Su Xiaoxiao.”

“Then we’ll know, was she really violated by Liang Wei, or was it all just a lie?”
