Chapter 346

I really killed someone.

Even if it was permitted, this person still died at my hands.

Yet, there was no irritation, no anger, not even the slightest discomfort—as if I hadn't ended a life, but merely crushed an ant?

Li Tian came over to Chen Fan, handed him an apple, and said, "Eat it. Apples are hard to find in winter."

"Thank you."

Li Tian, unusually, didn't tease Chen Fan; he said seriously, "You're not used to it, right?"

"Yes. What I can't get used to is that my heart feels absolutely no ripple."

At this moment, the director in front of the camera, the audience, even the celebrities finally realized one thing: Chen Fan had killed someone.

Killing to rescue a hostage is legal; it was permitted.

But it's still killing.

Li Tian said, "In the police force, very few officers actually use knives—it's usually snipers. Very few ever fire their guns, because opportunities to shoot in our country are extremely rare. But you need to understand: killing someone is incredibly hard, incredibly hard—especially the adjustment period afterward."

"Some people just can't stay as police officers, can't stay as detectives."

"Others completely lose their ability to work. Some can't sleep at all."

"I've even met someone who committed suicide."

Chen Fan remained silent.

Li Tian said, "But you feel nothing—no need for psychological counseling at all. That's exactly what I'm most worried and afraid of. Do you understand?"

Chen Fan said, "Don't worry. If one day I can't resist committing a crime, just shoot me dead."

"Don't worry, I definitely will. By the way, here's your case."

Chen Fan opened it, glanced at it, and said, "Hmm. Maybe you should just shoot me right now. I think I can still show off a bit."

"That's a stupid thing to say—but I actually agree with you. Because I also think this guy deserved to die."

"But is it right for him to die like this?"

"Even if it's not right, you still have to catch him. That's all there is to it."

A man died; he died inside prison, so we need to investigate and gather evidence.

This is a rare occurrence. Officers can't possibly provide flawless supervision. If a death happens, we must investigate to find the killer and uncover the truth behind it.

As soon as this case was received, it was immediately handed to Li Tian.

Speed is essential, because everyone in the prison is causing trouble—they're using this opportunity to stir up chaos...

And this is the first time such a thing has appeared in a live-streamed variety show.

Lao Liu didn't come, so Li Tian took Chen Fan himself.

The other newcomers weren't suitable; Zhang Tianxiong brought his two brothers to guard Chen Fan.

The group arrived at the prison.

The prison warden greeted Chen Fan and said, "You must find the killer."

Chen Fan said, "Mm. Don't worry, I will."

Li Tian said, "You seem excited."

"Come on, how could I be excited? I could never be excited."

As Chen Fan stepped inside, he felt every cell in his body come alive; countless inmates stared at him with excited eyes.

Those who had planned to cause trouble instantly cowered.

In movie worlds, female forensic experts enter prisons; in reality, this simply doesn't happen.

No one would let such people enter here to be bullied.

As Chen Fan walked along, an inmate shouted at him. Chen Fan smiled and said, "What are you yelling about?"

The inmate looked at Chen Fan, then saw him playing with his pen, and instantly became obedient: "Uh… I was just asking if you wanted snacks?"

"No, thanks."

"Mm. Sir, please go ahead. Sir, please go ahead."

Pssst—hahahaahaha.

The audience laughed along.

In the observation room, Teacher He said, "This is the first time I've ever seen our country's prison on a variety show."

Qin Ming said, "Surprising, right? Actually, it's different from movie worlds. In our country, we use dormitory-style bunk beds."

Sister Yuanyuan said, "These are all criminals, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed herself: "Hmm… yeah, they really are all criminals."

Teacher He said, "I'm just worried about one thing."

Worried about one thing?

At this moment, Chen Fan passed by a door, tapped the bars, and said, "Wow, long time no see! Hahaha, how are you doing in here? Look at you—you've gotten so thin."

In the observation room, everyone watched the man inside.

The audience saw him too.

Oh my god, seriously? Isn't that the little pretty boy who caused trouble before?

Chen Fan 3.5 said, "Hey, come on, don't block me—let me take a good look at you, let me see you."

Hahahaahaha.

Several celebrities in the observation room burst into laughter, laughing freely.

"I'm dying of laughter, hahaha, I'm dying!"

"Chen Fan, you old trickster, are you serious? You're being way too much."

"Sorry, I really didn't want to laugh—but I just couldn't hold it in."

"Hahaha, so much fun, hahaha."

Over here, Chen Fan said, "By the way, guard, I'll give you an apple; you must make sure he steps on that sewing machine properly."

Over here, the guard was speechless and said, "Rest assured, we will keep a close watch."

Over here, Chen Fan smiled and walked away directly.

No matter how far he walked, Chen Fan came back and said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, is your chrysanthemum still there, young man?"

The person inside immediately pulled the covers over himself, ignoring Chen Fan.

Hearing the noise, Chen Fan said, "Sigh, why is this child crying? You really are... don't cry, hahahahahaha."

Li Tian was speechless, looked and said, "I feel like we found the wrong person."
