I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 84

“Little flying dagger? That’s a police baton!”

“It’s happening, it’s finally happening.”

“I swear on my life, ever since Chen Shu got back from the police station, he’s been at home. So, we all know where the body is, right?”

With all the sub-live streams shutting down, the main “Inescapable Justice” live stream instantly hit one billion viewers. People from all walks of life gathered to watch.

Everyone knew that while the show still had six days left, for both Chen Shu and the investigation team, today was the critical moment, their final showdown!

Like Cao Cao’s army after the Battle of Red Cliffs, completely powerless. Like Zhuge Liang’s last campaign, with no hope of success.

Whoever failed today, would never get another chance.

And from the omniscient viewer’s perspective, everyone knew, today, Chen Shu was both Cao Cao’s army and Zhuge Liang.

At a hotel, Liang Wei pulled open the curtains, letting the sunlight pour in. He poured himself a glass of red wine, took a slow sip, and leisurely watched the live stream.

“Tsk tsk, this wine is amazing!”

Meanwhile, in the show’s conference room. Every staff member stood up, all eyes were locked on the large screen at the front of the room.

Five police cars had already stopped outside Building 109 in the western suburbs. Wang Zheng and his team got out of the cars. More than ten officers immediately surrounded the building, setting up a perimeter with police tape!

Ring, ring, ring. The phone on the table rang. Zhang Sheng answered and put it on speaker. “Hello, Xiao Zhang, are you sure there’s no room for error this time?” Wu Hong’s voice asked.

Zhang Sheng nodded. “Don’t worry, Director. I’ve been keeping a close watch on Chen Shu these past two days to prevent any tricks. Ever since he pretended to seek justice for Su Xiaoxiao and moved the body, he hasn’t gone anywhere.”

Wu Hong was pleased. “Good. I already promised the bureau chief, so today, we must take down Chen Shu. Understood?”

Zhang Sheng replied, “Director, please pass a message to the bureau chief for me.”

“What message?”

“Watch closely.”

Zhang Sheng hung up the phone. He focused back on the screen and muttered, “Chen Shu, justice may be slow, but it never fails. You dodged capture last time, but time will reveal the truth!”

Western suburbs, Building 109. The place was now completely surrounded by police tape.

“Officer Wang, what’s going on?” Chen Shu stepped forward, attempting to ask.

But Wang Zheng, already familiar with his innocent act, directly pulled out a search warrant and interrupted him. “Chen Shu, shut up and stand aside!”

“Search the place!”

“Check everywhere!”

With Wang Zheng’s command, more than ten officers rushed into the building to begin the search.

“Officer Wang, what exactly are you doing?” Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion. “Hasn’t Liang Wei’s case already been solved? Why are you here?”

Wang Zheng responded, “Yes, we’ve already convicted Zeng Zhiwei for that case. As for whether you and your brother were involved, we don’t have enough evidence to determine that yet. But don’t forget, Liu Liang’s death is still unresolved.”

Then, Wang Zheng chuckled and glanced at Chen Shu before continuing. “Su Xiaoxiao, did you really think your brother came to clear your name that day?”

“Think carefully.” Su Xiaoxiao froze. Wasn’t that the case? Her brother had told her that because she took the blame for him, he came to seek justice for her.

Wait! Suddenly, a chilling realization hit her. Her brother once said the body was hidden in the police station’s restroom! And she had asked him, what if she panicked and ratted him out?

He didn’t answer, not because he didn’t want to, but because… he couldn’t.

If she had confessed, the police would have searched the restroom immediately!

So back then, he was actually terrified. He rushed to the police station with handwriting samples, pretending to defend her, just to calm her down?

From the start, his goal was to use that diary to eliminate everyone. Including her!

So, he wasn’t really trying to clear her name? And it wasn’t out of kindness that he spared her? He was afraid, afraid she would reveal where the body was. That was the only flaw in his perfect lie! But…

Would he really make such a mistake? If he wanted her gone, why tell her where the body was in the first place? Su Xiaoxiao’s mind spiraled. This didn’t make sense!

Was he trying to clear her name or was he afraid she’d turn him in? And what did this have to do with today’s police search?

She kept thinking. Then suddenly, she shuddered.

The body! That night when she got home, she had smelled something foul on her brother!

So, he went to the police station, to retrieve the body? It all made sense now.

No matter what his real intention was, his ultimate goal was to relocate the body. And these past two days, he had stayed at home.

That meant… the body was here!

Su Xiaoxiao’s face twitched slightly as she stole a glance at Chen Shu. Wang Zheng noticed her reaction and let out a smug hum. Then, he turned to Chen Shu and asked, “Chen Shu, do you want to admit it now, or should we wait until we find the evidence?”

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. “Officer Wang, admit to what?”

“That you went to the station to retrieve the body.”

Chen Shu shook his head. “I went to retrieve my sister.”

Wang Zheng wasn’t surprised by his stubbornness. He simply stood there, waiting.

About half an hour later, the officers returned one by one. “Captain Wang, we’ve searched the entire house. No body.”

“What about the yard?” Wang Zheng asked.

“Checked. Nothing.”

Wang Zheng remained expressionless.

“Officer Wang, you hear that?” Chen Shu sneered. “Still suspecting us after all this time? Give it up already!”

Wang Zheng smirked, to him, this anger was just a facade. He stepped closer to Chen Shu, sniffed the air, and said, “You smell nice. Just showered?”

Chen Shu took a step back. “Yeah.”

“What soap?”

“My sister’s. Forgot the name.”

Wang Zheng nodded. Then suddenly, his expression hardened as he barked, “Right now, take off your clothes!”
