I Asked You To Simulate A Crime, And You Pulled Off The Perfect Crime? - Chapter 85

“Take off your clothes!” Wang Zheng’s sudden shout echoed through the air. At first, netizens were still wondering where Chen Shu had hidden the corpse in the building, but in an instant, everything became clear!

“What a freak! No wonder the police couldn’t find the body in the building or the yard, he actually wrapped it around himself!”

“Ugh, I can’t take this anymore. Without bones, all that rotting flesh is just sticking to his body… How can he stay so calm?!”

“I get why he did it now. If he disposed of the corpse, we would have seen it immediately. He was afraid the show would launch another ‘public investigation,’ so since returning from the police station, he’s been carrying the corpse on him!”

“Is he even human?”

“Should I hug Liu Liang back-to-back?”

The audience shuddered in horror. They couldn’t comprehend how a criminal could be this deranged, all for the so-called “perfect crime.” It was almost pathological.

Still, despite their horror, they couldn’t help but be impressed by Chen Shu’s methods. After all, wrapping a corpse around himself and still living normally at home with his sister, who else could pull that off?

Thankfully, he wasn’t a real criminal and now, Wang Zheng had finally exposed him.

Justice would be served!

At that moment, Chen Shu took two steps back, gripping the edge of his clothes. “Officer Wang, what exactly are you trying to do?”

“According to Article 109 of our Criminal Procedure Law, a suspect may be searched for evidence,” Wang Zheng said, staring him down. “As the captain of the Haicheng Criminal Investigation Team, I order you to take off your shirt!”

Under everyone’s gaze, with all exits blocked by the officers, Chen Shu stopped and said, “Officer Wang… I really don’t have anything on me.”

“Heh.” Wang Zheng sneered. “Chen Shu, Chen Shu… You never cease to amaze me. Even now, you’re still lying. Do you ever tell the truth?”

Beside him, Su Haoran, who had had enough of Chen Shu’s deception, stepped forward and snapped, “The day Su Xiaoxiao was interrogated, you went to the station pretending to seek justice for her, but in reality, you moved the body from the restroom, didn’t you? Now the entire building has been searched, if it’s not in the house, where else could it be except on you?”

Qin Min sighed. “Wrapping a corpse around yourself… Chen Shu, you truly are a heartless, cold-blooded criminal!”

Their accusations came down like a suffocating fog.

“Chen Shu is definitely a heartless criminal. From the start, he really intended to get rid of Su Xiaoxiao.”

“Chen Shu: I’m the village’s superstar, no feelings left. You wanted a fortune teller, but now you’re gone, working in another province, and we’re in a long-distance relationship.”

“Love… just follow me~”

“You two above, get out!”

“Chen Shu, you don’t want me to use force, do you?”

“Take off your shirt, whether you’re guilty or not, we’ll see with our own eyes!” Wang Zheng pressed again.

“Take it off,” Su Haoran and Qin Min ordered in unison.

At that moment, the afternoon sun cast long shadows over the ground, drawing a clear divide between the two sides.

Light and dark. Crime and justice. A moment of poetic contrast.

Inside the director’s room, Zhang Sheng seized the opportunity and barked orders.

“Music team, what the hell are you doing? This is a crucial moment! Where’s the music? Music! Where did it go?!”

The head of the music team stammered, “Director Zhang, sorry, I got too absorbed in watching! I’ll cue the music right now!”

“Camera team, prep the editing cuts! This scene… this is the most beautiful shot I’ve ever seen in my directing career,” Zhang Sheng stared at the live feed, feeling an indescribable sense of achievement. “Sin and justice, blooming like flowers under the sun!”

Soon, as the footage was edited, it was immediately pushed online. Within moments, it caused a massive sensation. Viewers who had no idea what was going on clicked into the live stream.

And because of this one scene, the main “Inescapable Justice” live stream hit 1.5 billion viewers. The comment section flooded with a single word,  “Take it off!”

Even Liang Wei, lounging in his hotel with a champagne glass in hand, stood up, clenched his fist, and shouted, “Damn it, take it off!”

“If you don’t, I will!!”

Back at the scene, Chen Shu lowered his gaze, gripping the hem of his shirt. Surrounded on all sides, he glanced at Su Xiaoxiao through the crowd. Their eyes met.

Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip, her eyes welling up. She no longer cared why her brother had gone to the police station. In the end, everything started because he wanted to protect her and clear her name.

Even if he now wanted to save himself, she understood. Then, she smiled at him. Her message was simple, ‘Brother, you’ve suffered for so long. Let it all end.’

Perhaps understanding her intent, Chen Shu looked away. He placed his right hand on his jacket zipper. With a sharp zzzt sound, the jacket came off.

Even though he still had a T-shirt underneath, his abdomen looked unusually bulky. Not muscles. But layers upon layers of something wrapped around his body.

“Chen Shu’s abdomen is wrapped in corpse fragments. His legs, his back, his arms, they’re all covered in pieces of the body!”

“Captain Wang was right. Strip away the disguise, and the truth is revealed!”

“I always wondered how he could attach decomposed body parts to his muscles after removing the bones? Now I see it, he used loose clothes to hide them. All those pieces… they were on him the whole time.”

“It’s finally over. The show must be satisfied now, right?”

“At the end of the day, there’s no such thing as a perfect crime. It’s just a matter of time. This show used two episodes to teach us that.”

“Once the disguise falls away, the truth is exposed!”

“Keep going!” Wang Zheng’s eyes gleamed as he stared at Chen Shu’s stomach. After searching for so long, they finally found it! There was no escaping justice now.

“Brother…” Nearby, Su Xiaoxiao was already sobbing uncontrollably. She choked out, “I… I’m sorry…”

Chen Shu didn’t stop, he lifted his T-shirt. The camera zoomed in. At that moment, the entire broadcast focused on one thing.

His stomach, wrapped over and over…
