Chapter 675

Luo Mo, nicknamed "Blade-Blade Luo," has a character card that comes with the divine skill "Hand Rises, Blade Falls."

His Animation likes to dish out blades, his dramas like to dish out blades, and his movies dish out blades too.

And... he really loves to dish them out on himself.

During the *Celestial Sword 5 Qixia Zhuan* period, he was the only one left alive, yet he lived a life worse than death.

In *Celestial Sword 5: Jingtian Chapter*, he was left with little lifespan remaining.

By the time we reached *Nirvana in Fire*, the death of Mei Zhangsu left so many people with lingering regrets!

The CP he formed with the Nishang Princess played by Xu Chujing just vanished like that!

And ever since playing Mei Zhangsu, he started to get addicted to it.

In *Dying to Survive*, the suicide of the character he played, Lv Shouyi, and that line "Eat an Orange," was incredibly painful to watch.

But this method of death in *Sheep Without a Shepherd* is, after all, unexpected yet within reason.

"Who died?"

"Haha, the director died!"

Hurry up and die, hurry up and die, I still have to direct the play!

Kill me quickly, don't delay my work.

………

………

Inside the Cinema, Xiao Wei watched the plot on the big screen, only now realizing that everything before was merely foreshadowing.

It provided a very complete background for the story, shaped the characters' personalities, and buried various threads of hatred.

As mentioned before, because he had also watched over a thousand movies, he had a very strong sense of immersion with the male lead, Li Weijie.

Xiao Wei put himself in the character's shoes and thought, if he were Li Weijie, what should he do?

This mother of Sucha is the absurdly oppressive and unscrupulous police chief, Layun.

His father is the most competitive mayoral candidate, a socialite.

You, a nobody working in internet services, what do you have to win with?

At the same time, Xiao Wei also didn't expect: "In this movie, the male lead's side is actually the one that committed murder."

This goes against the common sense of most Suspense films.

However, Xiao Wei had already started feeling regret in advance.

"This is undoubtedly a good film," he whispered to his girlfriend.

"But the ending will definitely be either him going to jail, his wife going to jail, or his daughter, sigh."

"By the way, in Siam, how is a 16-year-old child who commits murder sentenced?" Xiao Wei even started to let his mind wander.

Sucha, the bad student who wanted to play out a *Classmate's Mother* series, is 16 years old.

Then, Li Weijie's daughter, Pingping, is very likely 16 years old too.

Hearing this, Xiao Wei's girlfriend wanted to refute, but once she thought about how her boyfriend worked in the Review Department, his words still carried great authority.

Xiao Wei looked at her and guessed: "I reckon before he goes to jail, he'll drag Layun and that Du Peng down with him; they shouldn't expect to get off easy either."

In this way, the audience might feel a little better inside.

On the other side, Li Weijie, having finished watching the boxing match, was in a good mood and went to a phone booth to call his family.

This also served as a hint that he didn't have a mobile phone.

The younger daughter was woken up by the ringing phone, but she didn't answer it.

At this moment, the mother and daughter in the warehouse made a decision to bury Sucha in the yard at home first.

A panicked Ayu put the corpse on a cart, and in the process, the cart was tripped by a water pipe.

Our dear Director Luo fell directly from the cart to the ground, and his head even took a knock.

Water splashed out from the pipe, causing the mother and daughter to let out gasps of surprise.

The water soaked their clothes and their hair.

Ayu shouted in a panic while using her hand to brush aside her wet hair.

In the process of looking up, she discovered that the younger daughter was looking down from upstairs, seeing everything!

Ayu hurriedly told Pingping to go look after her younger sister.

In the end, she buried Sucha's corpse in En Shu's grave.

She pressed her palms together, the pupils under her wet hair trembling slightly, and she muttered to herself: "En Shu, I'm sorry, En Shu, I'm sorry..."

The entire process of burying the person was also seen by the younger daughter.

On the other side, Li Weijie, unable to get through to the home phone no matter what, realized something was wrong; he immediately left the hotel and took a taxi home.

Upon arriving home, he called out: "Ayu! Ayu!"

Then, he saw the disheveled mother and daughter clinging to each other.

The screen gave the now-dazed Li Weijie a large close-up of his face.

When the scene shifted, it became a conversation between Ayu and him by the window.

The two looked at En Shu's grave, and Ayu said: "I was afraid of being discovered if I dug a new pit, so I buried him here."

In many movies, in order to highlight the male lead, the people around him, especially women, are portrayed as characters who only cause trouble.

Ayu still had a bit of quick wit here.

She looked at her husband, ultimately unable to bear the burden, and said: "Let's call the police, and say I killed him."

"If you call the police now, you won't even have the chance to go to jail; the one who died is the police chief's son," Li Weijie said.

He had witnessed the series of behaviors in the police station and knew deeply how dark this small town was.

"Besides, Pingping is the victim, and we are the victims."

Ayu lowered her head, her eyes listless and slightly hollow, and said, "Then... what if we get discovered?"

Upon hearing this, Li Weijie's face grew solemn, his expression becoming serious.

The camera began to cut between the three women.

Pingping lay on the bed, unable to sleep, wrapped tightly in her quilt, covering every inch of her skin.

The youngest daughter was fast asleep; she was still so young, she could not live without her father, nor could she live without her mother.

When the camera cut back to Li Weijie, the background music began to grow fast-paced and compact, building a tense atmosphere.

He was seen standing before En Shu's grave, his back slightly hunched.

This man with messy hair and stubble smoked a cigarette, then slowly squatted down before the grave.

Listening to the tense music, Xiao Wei inexplicably felt that the slightly chubby, slovenly Li Weijie had an inexplicable coolness to him!

One classic Crime film after another from Blue Star began to emerge in his mind.

Several keywords were thus generated.

——【Perfect Crime】.

——【Alibi】.

This man squatting before the grave, head lowered and smoking, slowly raised his head.

The extremely dim light of the night shone upon him.

Half of his body was submerged in the darkness.

Yet his gaze grew increasingly determined.

Li Weijie had officially made his decision in his heart!

For his wife, for his daughters, he would challenge the decision of the entire police station with his own strength!

Watching this scene, Xiao Wei's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Putting himself in their shoes, if Pingping were his own daughter and Ayu were his own wife... you bastards, go to hell!

Li Weijie's decision was exactly what he wanted!

"Damn, the Drama is getting fired up!!"

………

………

The sky began to brighten; having been busy all night, Li Weijie had to hurry to dispose of the car Sucha had driven, as well as his mobile phone.

After comforting his wife and daughter, he went out to drive the car.

Who would have thought that Sang Kun, being a policeman, had been out partying with women until dawn and was currently eating breakfast at a roadside stall.

This scene made the audience feel nervous.

Due to Li Weijie's incorrect operation, the car actually made a sound!

Sang Kun slapped the table in annoyance and got up to take a look.

He only saw a Back Shadow, but he was already guessing to himself: "Is that Li Weijie?"

Li Weijie, wearing gloves, was oblivious to this; he drove onto the highway, his mind beginning to recall various movie plots.

He first opened Sucha's phone, deleted the video of his daughter, and then tossed the phone onto a truck transporting sand.

Then, he arrived at a riverbank and pushed the car into the river.

As luck would have it, someone happened to be driving a flock of Sheep past at that moment.

The car had only sunk halfway.

Fortunately, in the end, there was no danger.

Watching this plot, Xiao Wei found it very thrilling.

Even more thrilling was that his girlfriend was gripping his hand, her fingernails already embedded in his flesh.

The camera cut to Layun and Dupeng.

Dupeng's assistant suggested that he take his wife and child to give a speech to get those who usually had low voter turnout to vote for him.

But Layun could not get through to her son's phone, though this seemed to be the usual norm.

Dupeng only gave one instruction: "If he doesn't go to class on Monday, cancel his credit card and keep looking."

In his heart, he was only thinking about his mayoral campaign and did not care about anything else for the time being.

After disposing of the car and the phone, Li Weijie returned home feeling lighthearted.

"How did it go?" Pingping asked.

"Dispose of what?" Li Weijie replied.

"Sucha's car."

"Who is Sucha?"

The mother and daughter looked at each other deeply.

Li Weijie took off his hat and said, "We don't know Sucha. If we did, it would only be that Pingping saw him at summer camp, just saw him."

"And from today on, we must act as if nothing ever happened."

"Otherwise, once the police come knocking, everything will be written all over our faces."

"How can we act as if nothing happened?" said Ayu, still somewhat panicked and feeling uneasy.

Xiao Wei also felt that if this was all the handling it got, it was too rash, too easy.

This is how they want to pull the wool over everyone's eyes?

This counts as a Perfect Crime?

Isn't this just handling the most basic things?

Upon hearing this, Li Weijie fell into deep thought, his expression solemn.

Then, he suddenly smiled: "When was the last time our whole family went out for fun?"

He was actually planning to take his whole family out for fun!

He went to buy tickets right then, intending to take his family to watch Muay Thai!

Xiao Wei muttered: "Is this fleeing to avoid punishment? But what good will that do? The other side has eyes and ears everywhere."

This fell far short of his expectations.

"I've never heard of you liking Muay Thai," Ayu asked, puzzled.

The scene switched, arriving on a long-distance bus.

Li Weijie's family was already sitting on the bus.

A voice-over played; it was Li Weijie's voice.

"There are no draws in the boxing ring; one side must defeat the other."

"Therefore, we must be the ones who win in the end!"

It was very clear that he intended to do something.

Li Weijie sat on the bus and began to pay and chat with the staff on board.

"Where are you planning to go for fun?" that person asked.

"Luotong. It's the weekend, so I was originally going there for work, and then I decided to take the family along to have some fun."

"Oh, right! There's that match between Chatucha and the old boxing champion Batu!" Li Weijie suddenly said.

This left the other person stunned.

"Chatucha, don't you know him? The new Dark Horse, he's already won over a dozen matches in a row."

"Is that so? It's been a long time since I've watched a boxing match."

"Take the bus fare," Li Weijie said.

"Last time you installed the internet for me, you didn't take any money, how much could the bus fare be?" this person said in Thai.

After arriving at the hotel, Li Weijie also began to argue with the front desk.

Then, he began taking his daughter to eat cake.

After eating cake, they went to watch a movie.

After watching the movie, they went to the night market to stroll and buy things.

Immediately following that, they went to watch boxing.

Throughout the entire process, Ayu and Pingping were both preoccupied and highly tense.

Li Weijie looked at his wife and daughter, knowing full well that he had to be foolproof and leave no room for error.

The day the incident happened, he was not at home.

Presumably, this man must be feeling very self-reproachful as well.

At this moment, someone came to sell popcorn.

Li Weijie deliberately knocked over a bucket.

Many in the audience watched all this, not understanding what the deeper meaning was.

After returning home, he told his wife: "From now on, keep a receipt for everything we buy."

"Phone bills, travel expenses, water bills... let's redo the accounts for our family starting from January."

"The more detailed, the better."

"If we want to get past this hurdle, we still have a lot of things to do."

On the other side, the female director Layun also gradually realized something was wrong.

Although her son was rebellious and often lost contact or didn't answer the phone, it was the first time it had been like these past few days.

She had her subordinates trace the mobile phone, and it turned out the phone had passed through many cities.

The car could not be found either; it was last captured by surveillance over ten days ago, and then it disappeared.

At this moment, besides laying out his plan, Li Weijie was also still working as usual.

He had already taken the contract for the internet wiring of the newly built police station.

He followed along to the construction site of the new police station, looking around, and then fixed his gaze on a deep pit that had not yet been filled with concrete.

He looked down into it deeply, as if considering something, appearing a bit distracted.

Who would have thought that just as he walked out with the person in charge of building the police station, the policeman Sang Kun would suddenly rush over and beat that person.

Because he had reported Sang Kun.

In front of the public, wearing his police uniform, Sang Kun punched and kicked him, acting with impunity.

Li Weijie didn't know if it was because of his daughter's matter, or long-standing resentment toward Sang Kun, or perhaps feeling indignant at seeing his boss being beaten, but he couldn't help but kick Sang Kun away.

The enraged Sang Kun actually drew his gun directly and pointed it at Li Weijie's head.

In such a tense atmosphere, Sang Kun ultimately was not blinded by Anger, but he still fired his gun, killing a Sheep by the side of the road.

The screen gave this bleeding Sheep a close-up lasting several seconds.

If Sang Kun dared to draw his gun in public, what more of Layun?

All of this made Li Weijie realize more and more that he could not turn himself in.

If the truth came out, it was very likely that none of his family would survive!

Immediately after, the story's progression began to grow increasingly tight.

The car that had been sunk to the bottom of the lake was discovered by some children swimming.

Layun began to launch an investigation.

Sang Kun stated that he had seen this car, and the one driving it was Li Weijie!

In an instant, the atmosphere in the Cinema seemed to become heavy.

Xiao Wei started to feel the pain again; his girlfriend's fingernails had begun to torture his arm once more.

How he wished that this scene of fingernails scratching flesh was happening while everyone was trembling together, and she couldn't help but claw at his bare back.

That wouldn't be called pain; it would be called a sense of accomplishment.

On the other side, in Li Weijie's home, he was in the darkness, shining a desk lamp's light into his daughter's eyes, beginning the rehearsal.

He imitated the police's method to conduct the questioning.

"On the evening of April 2nd, where were you?"

"Luotong," Pingping replied.

"Wrong!" Li Weijie barked.

"Several days have already passed, how could you just blurt it out like that? Ask again, where were you!"

"That day was a Saturday... I should have been in Luotong," Pingping said.

"Correct, remember, you are a student; compared to the date, you will have a clearer impression of the day of the week," Li Weijie expressed his satisfaction.

"What time did you come back!"

"The next day."

"What time!"

"At night."

Li Weijie then shone the desk lamp toward his younger daughter: "What did you go to Luotong to do?"

"Ate cream cake and also watched a movie," the cute little girl with big eyes said in a milky voice.

"What else!" Li Weijie's tone was stern.

The younger daughter started to want to cry.

Li Weijie slapped the table.

"Also watched a boxing match," the child said.

"Are you sure?" Li Weijie asked.

The little girl started looking toward her mother, Ayu.

Li Weijie said directly and loudly: "I'm asking you!!!"

That did it; the big eyes started to shed tears, looking aggrieved.

Li Weijie felt a pang of heartache and began to comfort her, saying: "It's okay, you don't need to be afraid, it's okay. If you don't know, just say you don't know. You are a little kid, no one will blame you."

He looked at his family and said: "They don't have evidence right now, so they can't do anything to us. But remember, they will try every possible way to force evidence out of our mouths."

"They might be even fiercer than Dad."

"They might even hit Dad."

The younger daughter's acting was incredibly superb; she immediately asked with a sobbing tone: "Then they... will they hit you until it hurts?"

A child's cognitive development seems simple and laughable, yet it carries endless concern for their father.

The little girl started to sob uncontrollably, and Ayu and Pingping also began to shed tears.

In the Cinema, many people were also moved by the girl's acting, feeling their noses sting.

This made the audience even more concerned about the safety of this family.

Li Weijie started to deceive her, saying: "Then when Dad hits you, does it hurt?"

"A little bit, but it doesn't hurt that much," the little girl answered while crying, her voice full of sobs.

"Then how could it hurt Dad?" he lied: "It's okay."

Dad hitting you doesn't hurt much because he can't bear to hit you, but he wants you to learn a lesson.

But those people's words... Li Weijie knew deep down what he would encounter, but he was willing to face all this uncertainty!

After the two daughters left, Ayu asked: "Will the police really find us?"

"It's a matter of time," Li Weijie said very firmly.

"Then our plan... will it work?" Ayu said: "What if one of those people... really remembers clearly, then we..."

Ayu was very afraid that when they went on their trip, the group would be remembered by the people around them.

But this was exactly what Li Weijie wanted.

"Of course they will remember it very clearly," Li Weijie said calmly.

………

………

The development of the situation was indeed as Li Weijie had expected.

Sang Kun and the others started to come knocking; they went to the school to find Pingping first.

Pingping said she was not familiar with Sucha and only knew him from summer camp.

The loud-mouthed Sang Kun started again: "Are you lying or not! There are so many people at summer camp, you say you aren't familiar with him the moment you see the photo, do you take me for an idiot?"

The scene began to replay Li Weijie's instruction: "Do not avoid the fact that you know Sucha, but only that you know him. They will definitely fabricate evidence to lure you into a slip of the tongue, but no matter what they ask, you just need to remember that you and Sucha only met once at summer camp."

"They only have one way to find evidence, and that is to use your fear."

"As long as you are not afraid, they have no way."

Pingping looked at Sang Kun and said directly: "Sucha was very famous at summer camp; he often used his phone to secretly film girls. A lawyer's daughter even scolded him once."

This statement left them speechless for a moment.

"After summer camp, have you seen him?" another police officer asked.

"No," Pingping answered instantly.

"Lying!" The loud-mouthed Sang Kun started his antics again.

"I know he looked for you after summer camp, on April 2nd," Sang Kun said.

"Did Sucha say that?" Pingping even calmly began to ask back.

"Yes, he said it." Sang Kun spouted nonsense.

"He's the one Lying!" Pingping spoke more and more fluently.

"You're talking about the 2nd; I wasn't home at all on the 2nd, my whole family wasn't home."

"Where did you go on the 2nd?" another police officer asked.

"Luotong, we left in the morning and returned home the evening of the next day."

"It's been so long, you still remember it so clearly?"

"That was the weekend, we hadn't been out to play for a long time." She looked up at Sang Kun and said calmly, "Besides, it actually hasn't been that long."

This scene made the audience feel both thrilling and satisfying!

This is challenging one's psychological endurance!

"Damn, so satisfying!" Xiao Wei said in his heart.

Immediately after, Sang Kun and the others came to the house again to look for Ayu, but fortunately, Li Weijie returned in time.

The police told them that Sang Kun had seen you driving this car.

The atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Many audience members' heartbeats skipped a beat.

Ayu couldn't hold it together anymore and immediately said, "We weren't home at all on the 2nd and 3rd..."

Sang Kun was suddenly overjoyed: "Good! The game is over, Li Weijie!"

"No need to look for evidence, she has let it all slip."

"I didn't mention the time at all; did I say when I saw it? Your wife let it slip."

Li Weijie sat on the chair and suddenly smiled.

"My wife has a quick temper. Didn't you go to the school to ask Pingping? The child didn't know what had happened, so she told us everything when she called."

"How do you explain the car?"

"I, I have no way to explain it. Everyone knows I have offended Sang Kun, so whatever I say, he will think I am Lying, right?" Li Weijie said.

"Well done!" Xiao Wei roared in his heart.

He had kicked Sang Kun before, never expecting it could break the deadlock here!

Li Weijie still insisted that they went to Luotong on the 2nd and 3rd and were not in Canban.

They produced receipts as evidence and stated that if you don't believe it, you can certainly go ask the people I just mentioned; they can all testify.

When Li Weijie was eating at Song Shu's shop, Sang Kun deliberately came over to tell Song Shu that they had found the car and there was hair inside that did not belong to Sucha.

Li Weijie listened intently, his expression grave.

As soon as he looked up, he met the gaze of a woman sitting opposite him who was staring at him.

——Layun!

Layun was observing his expression and demeanor!

This eye contact made the audience feel incredibly intense.

It was clear that the main event was about to begin!

Li Weijie's whole family was taken back to the police station and locked in different rooms for questioning.

Layun stood in front of the screen, watching everyone's expressions and listening to everyone's answers.

At this moment, when someone asked Pingping a question about time, Pingping showed a troubled expression.

The audience instantly became nervous again.

Oh no! Did she not remember?

The scene switched back to the footage of Li Weijie rehearsing with his family.

"If our whole family says the exact same thing, it will look very suspicious, especially when it involves questions about numbers like time."

"Mom and I can be a bit more precise, but you two don't have to."

The scene switched back to Pingping, and she said, "I don't remember, but it should have been past noon."

"We went to eat cream cake, and there weren't many people in the restaurant at that time."

After asking these, the police began to inquire about the boxing match.

Li Weijie's advance planning appeared again; he instructed his family: "Lying is easily discovered, so we just need to tell exactly what happened that day."

The family began to recount everything exactly as it happened.

Only with the youngest daughter did the police begin to use tricks.

"When did the boxing match start?"

The father's instruction began to echo in the little girl's ears: "If it's the police, you must listen carefully before answering."

"It had already started when we arrived," the little girl said.

"Wrong, your father said it started after you arrived. You waited for half an hour, right?" the police officer said.

The little girl sat on the chair, looking so small and helpless.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, the police officer shouted directly: "Right!?"

The little girl was startled.

Layun also began to stare closely at her reaction.

The image of her father's instruction echoed in the little girl's mind.

"No matter what the police uncle says, we must stick to our own story."

The background music began to gradually become intense.

The little girl sat on the big bench; she was so small, her voice was so childish, yet her words were firm and resonant:

"No! Daddy remembered it wrong, it had already started by the time we arrived!"

The police officer pursed his lips, helpless.

The footage of the family of four answering was split into four frames and spliced onto the big screen.

The audience in the entire venue felt more and more satisfied and excited the more they watched.

Although audience members like Xiao Wei's girlfriend didn't actually understand for the moment why the police were helpless after such answers.

It was clear that these events all happened after Sucha died.

However, it didn't matter even if they didn't understand.

After all, the movie's atmosphere had been built up to this point.

Just enjoying it was enough!

Moreover, there must be a deeper meaning here, and there must be Li Weijie's methods involved!

"I can't ask, asking will make me look stupid for not understanding the plot," the girlfriend glanced at Xiao Wei and thought to herself.

Xiao Wei didn't actually understand either, but he said, "Right! Right! That's exactly it!"

(PS: 6800 words, two updates totaling 11,000, requesting monthly tickets!

I will strive to write more tomorrow as well.)
