I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 68

April 28, Sunday.

“Ha~” Su Xiaoxiao stretched lazily and let out a comfortable yawn. She turned to the side, gazing out the window at the drizzling rain, listening to the soft pitter-patter of raindrops hitting the windowsill.

Last night was the most restful sleep she had gotten since joining the show. She no longer had to worry about Liang Wei seeking revenge. She no longer had to fear her father barging into her room in the middle of the night.

Everything felt so peaceful. As if all her sins had been washed away by the rain. Buried completely beneath the yellow mud!

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao smiled to herself, wrapping her legs clad in pink pajama pants around the blanket, and burying her face in its comforting scent. A sense of indescribable peace filled her heart!

“Wow, Goddess Su is really so beautiful. Even without makeup, wearing just pajamas, she still looks stunning.”

“Pajamas? No, this is a uniform temptation.”

“Ahhh, just thinking about Su Xiaoxiao being violated by Liang Wei makes my heart ache. Liang Wei, you beast!”

“Damn it, he really deserves to die.”

“Sis, time for breakfast,” came Chen Shu’s voice from outside the door.

“Coming, bro,” Su Xiaoxiao got out of bed without changing her clothes and happily walked into the living room.

After spending so much time with Chen Shu, she had completely settled into the role of his little sister and no longer felt awkward. The dining table was filled with a variety of delicious breakfast dishes. Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Wow, bro, what’s the occasion today? Usually, the best you do is cook some noodles for me. But today, there are meat buns, century egg and pork congee… If you keep feeding me like this, I’m going to get fat!”

Chen Shu ruffled her hair and said, “Eat well… You might not get another chance in the future…”

“Huh?” Su Xiaoxiao froze, not understanding what he meant. But after thinking about it, maybe it was because the show was coming to an end, and they would soon part ways.

Yeah, that must be it. The thought made her feel a little sad. She remembered how she had mistakenly entered the wrong room, leading this ordinary guy to join the show.

And then, she ended up playing the role of his sister. He was a good brother. Capable and caring. If only she could spend more time with him, that would be great.

But Su Xiaoxiao knew that their separation was inevitable. With Liang Wei dead and Zeng Zhiwei arrested, the two most important criminals of the show had been taken down. There was no need for the show to continue anymore!

“Bro, you should eat too,” Su Xiaoxiao pushed a steaming bun on a plate toward Chen Shu.

Chen Shu smiled. “No need, this whole table is for you!”

Meanwhile, at the Financial Evidence Storage Center. Su Haoran walked into the parking lot carrying his laptop bag. After Liang Wei kidnapped Su Xiaoxiao and was intercepted by Chen Shu, he went on the run.

His luxury car had been confiscated and was now stored at the evidence center. Now, Su Haoran has come back for it. “Zeng Zhiwei said he killed Liang Wei because he found out his daughter had been assaulted.”

“But something still feels off. How could something like that be written in a diary? And how did Zeng Zhiwei just happen to find it?”

His goal today was to retrieve the dashcam footage and see what really happened that day. After getting the car keys from the storage staff, he unlocked the car and climbed inside. The dashcam was mounted on the windshield. He leaned forward, pulled it off, and removed the memory card from the slot.

Then, he inserted it into his laptop.

Ring, ring. His phone rang.

“Hello, Dr. Qin, what’s up?” Su Haoran put the call on speaker while his right hand operated the mouse, retrieving the footage.

“Where are you? You’re not in the office,” Qin Min asked.

“Oh, I’m at the Financial Evidence Storage Center.”

“What are you doing there?”

“Zeng Zhiwei said Su Xiaoxiao was assaulted by Liang Wei. I came to check if it’s true.”

“Sigh,” Qin Min sighed. “Haoran, what girl would joke about her own chastity? If Zeng Zhiwei hadn’t read the diary, she might have hidden this for life. Don’t make her relive the trauma. Just come back and help wrap up Zeng Zhiwei’s case so we can finish this show.”

“Mm… No rush… I’ll talk to you later…” Su Haoran hung up and clicked play.

The dashcam footage began.

The car sped wildly down the highway, standing out among the slower-moving vehicles. At the same time, Liang Wei’s furious shouting filled the car, “Shut up! I know you killed my son! If the police won’t arrest you, then I’ll take revenge myself!”

“Hurry, call your brother if you don’t want to die.”

“What? No answer?”

“Your brother is insane! He actually dared to intercept me?”

“I swear, I’m going to kill you both today!”

The video lasted for a full thirty minutes, continuing until Chen Shu intercepted the car. The sudden stop and damage to the vehicle caused the dashcam to short-circuit, cutting off the recording.

Su Haoran listened intently. Most of it was Liang Wei’s raging curses. Occasionally, Su Xiaoxiao’s terrified screams could be heard. But as for what Zeng Zhiwei claimed to have read in the diary, the part about Liang Wei forcing Su Xiaoxiao to undress and assaulting her, there was not a single word of it!

“So it’s true, Zeng Zhiwei was deceived!” A sudden realization struck Su Haoran. Cold sweat broke out on his back. “In reality, Liang Wei never assaulted Su Xiaoxiao.”

“It was all made up by Su Xiaoxiao.”

“She knew her father had an unhealthy obsession and control over her. So to escape from him, she wrote this lie in her diary, and deliberately let Zeng Zhiwei see it!”

“Once he read it, Zeng Zhiwei was consumed with rage and went to kill Liang Wei. So, the real murderer isn’t Zeng Zhiwei, it’s Su Xiaoxiao!”

“She was the mastermind behind it all!” Su Haoran’s pupils dilated in shock. He recalled the scene of arresting Zeng Zhiwei, how Su Xiaoxiao had curled up in bed, nearly becoming a victim of her deranged father.

Now, everything is connected. Su Xiaoxiao had known her father was dangerous. So she used the diary to make him furious enough to kill Liang Wei. In the end, Liang Wei was dead and Zeng Zhiwei would be sentenced to death. She had protected herself in her own way.

So close! He had almost been fooled by the helpless-looking schoolgirl. Without hesitation, Su Haoran pulled out his phone and called Wang Zheng.

“Captain Wang, there’s been a major twist. The real murderer is Su Xiaoxiao. Bring your team and arrest her immediately!”
