Chapter 88

The bureau chief on the other end of the line burst out laughing on the spot.

"I knew you'd say that."

"Alright, stop keeping us in suspense—I'm watching your livestream right now, I know the whole situation."

"I've got some good news for you."

"And through the lens of our 'Live at the Scene,' I'd like to tell all our viewers out there as well."

"The criminal suspect has already been caught."

"He's now being interrogated at the Linshan City Detention Center."

"Witness testimony, physical evidence, and the logical chain are all complete."

"We're just waiting for you, the task force leader, to submit the paperwork and press public charges against the suspect."

"How about it—good news, right?"

On the other end of the line.

The bureau chief's voice was full of kindly laughter.

And a hint of mischief he couldn't quite hold back.

Captain Ding He was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell…

Did I miss something?

The murderer who brutally killed the victim… isn't he right in front of me?

When did he get to the police station?

And the instant he heard those words.

A police officer from a Zhangzhou precinct suddenly shivered.

His head buzzed.

An ominous thought sprouted, and he muttered, "Holy shit…"

At the scene.

The criminal investigators were all dumbfounded too.

They took a careful look at Fang Hao before them.

Then turned their heads to look at the captain.

What's going on?

A gang operation?

Everyone was completely baffled.

And at this moment, in the livestream chat.

Especially those veteran viewers who had watched the previous episode.

Their expressions all changed.

On the livestream screen.

Some eerily ominous comments appeared:

【Oh no… I suddenly have this weird sense of déjà vu…】

【I feel like something similar has happened before.】

【This feeling… could it be…】

【Crap! Something's gone wrong!】

【Quick! Hang up the phone, Captain Ding! It'll be too late if you wait!】

【Is my guess right… is someone about to have a massive breakdown next?】

【Hiss… this is bad!】

【Fang Hao, that old unlucky bastard—looks like he's been framed again?】

【Holy shit! I think I can sense what's about to happen…】

The viewers all had an ominous premonition.

Next up, it's Mickey's House of Misfortune time.

Confusion clouded Ding He's eyes.

Before the camera, frowning, he asked:

"Uh… did some misunderstanding happen in the middle?"

"Even though we didn't find any leads on the suspect,"

"we've already taken him down and are bringing him in."

"How is it that someone else has been arrested?"

"And isn't the entire criminal investigation unit under my task force? How does the bureau still have the manpower?"

"Chief Chen, did you get something mixed up somewhere?"

Hearing these words.

Reporter Xiao Yang's expression on scene faltered.

Then, drawing on her experience, she vaguely sensed something.

She glanced at Fang Hao beside her.

Then, without leaving a trace, she shot a look at the cameraman next to her.

The latter instantly understood the unspoken agreement.

He raised the camera.

A close-up on our beloved Captain Ding's face.

For the show's ratings.

Captain Ding, you might have to endure some discomfort for what comes next...

Sure enough.

Facing Ding He's confusion.

The bureau chief on the other end of the line gave a rather outrageous answer:

"Uh... here's the thing."

"After watching the live broadcast of 'Crime Scene Live,' the murderer turned himself in of his own accord."

"Actually, your deduction wasn't wrong—his mind and thinking really are unlike those of ordinary people."

"His reason for turning himself in is a bit outrageous..."

"Roughly, the reason is that he can't let Fang Hao steal such a huge spotlight—he's the real culprit of this case."

"Seems like it was because he saw the bullet comments praising Fang Hao, calling him a high-IQ criminal..."

"The killer's emotions somewhat collapsed; he felt he'd made a wedding dress for someone else."

"So he turned himself in."

At this point in the explanation.

Ding He's expression was already nearly blank with shock.

He stared dazedly at Fang Hao before him.

As captain of the criminal police, as head of the special task force...

The muscles of his face began to twitch.

His pupils also began to contract.

The corners of his mouth also twitched uncontrollably.

And the quietly mischievous bureau chief hadn't finished yet.

With an obvious teasing smile, he kept stabbing the knife in:

"The person you just interrogated... his name is Fang Hao, seems like."

"He's innocent."

"Your game of wits and interrogation just now were brilliant—proving your twenty-plus years as a veteran criminal investigator."

"The only little problem is, he actually..."

"... actually really isn't the murderer."

"The actual situation is, you grabbed the wrong person, Old Ding."

At this moment.
