Simulated Crime, This Criminal Doesn’t Seem to Be Acting

Chapter 40



Don't just focus on her; investigate the person who initially entered the room as well.

The perpetrator was adept at mimicking voices, had Wen Yanxin's phone number, and had been harassing her for a long time. She believes he should be a key suspect.

"That's what we're looking into," Xiao Jing said, his gaze fixed on Ye Sangsang. He quickly responded and then turned to leave with his team.

Ye Sangsang smiled and said, "Thank you."

After seeing them off, Ye Sangsang lay down on the bed.

Soon, footsteps approached, and it was Wen Yanxin's parents.

"You're a completely blind cripple, a burden to us. You should understand that everything you have now depends on me and your mother. Don't make trouble indiscriminately; otherwise, no one can protect you," the middle-aged man's voice echoed in Ye Sangsang's ears. This time, however, he didn't raise his hand to hit her.

Ye Sangsang recalled Wen Yanxin's background. The girl wasn't born blind but lost her sight due to an accident.

Yes, although she had been blind from a young age, it was the result of a car crash at eight years old that left her sightless. Now, at twenty-one, she had been blind for thirteen years.

Judging by her parents' attitude, they probably wished she would just disappear, right?

Ye Sangsang had reason to suspect that these parents had hired the psychopath, attempting to have their daughter killed.

Was it to create the impression that a couple's poor relationship had led to a tragic impulsive act?

Ye Sangsang always viewed people with the worst intentions. She looked at them and said, "Your meaning is for me to behave, and if I don't, whatever happens is my own fault?"

Her empty gaze met the man's direction as she bluntly questioned him.

Wen Deyou, caught off guard, showed a hint of guilt in his eyes. After a moment, he frowned and said, "Have you found out something?"

"Your father told you to behave, didn't he? You're a disabled person, and we'll definitely take good care of you," Wen Xin said to Ye Sangsang, her voice tinged with barely discernible disdain.

Wen Deyou likewise showed a disgusted expression, mixed with anger at having his authority challenged. He subconsciously raised his hand again.

Ye Sangsang quickly grabbed his clumsy slap, "Don't hit me. This is the second time I've said this."

Wen Deyou yanked his hand back sharply, eyeing Ye Sangsang suspiciously, "Have you regained your sight?"

"No, I'm still the 'blind one' you mentioned. But I must say, hating me is one thing, but hitting people isn't very polite," she replied.

Wen Xin pulled on Wen Deyou's arm and coldly advised, "She’s right. Besides, this time it’s their…" She trailed off and changed the subject, "She was a well-behaved child once. Do you really wish for her to die?"

The room fell silent, and Wen Deyou reluctantly withdrew his hand.

[Ah? Was the psychopath hired by the parents?]

[What monsters!]

[Not sure, let’s wait and see.]

Ye Sangsang heard this and her expression shifted subtly, but she remained silent.

They didn't seem to guard against her—a blind person—because, for them, a blind person couldn't stir up any trouble. Escaping the clutches of a psychopath and a serial killer was just by chance, and in reality, they still held the power over her.

How arrogant.

She inwardly scoffed. After a moment, she said with a hint of grievance, "It's not interesting to keep things hidden. I'm not intent on digging to the bottom, but is there really no explanation at all?"

"Focus on your recovery. If you need to meet with journalists, my assistant can arrange it. These next couple of days, the assistant will take care of your discharge," Wen Xin said, looking at the fragile Ye Sangsang. Despite her usual hardness, she added with rare guilt, "In a couple of days… I’ll give you an explanation."

Ye Sangsang still felt wronged but agreed, "Okay."

"After you’re discharged, a new nanny and residence will be arranged. There are some things… we’ll give you an explanation, so don’t pursue it," Wen Deyou said, though his tone was stiff and still carried a hint of disgust.

He had no choice but to compromise. If Ye Sangsang kept pushing, and the police got involved, things would get complicated.

Ye Sangsang lowered her head and whispered, "I understand."

She had no qualms about lying.

Clearly, they were trying to placate her, so she didn't need to do anything rash now. Whoever was involved, once the evidence was found, she could send them to prison without any hesitation.

The footsteps faded away, and Ye Sangsang felt the pain in her body.

It didn’t take much effort. After their conversation, she had a good idea who was behind it.

She wanted an explanation, waiting for the next move from whoever was pulling the strings.

But she wasn’t quite sure of the motive. What could a blind person who couldn’t be cured possibly be worth targeting?

The task completion probably required the case to be closed, or even for the first or second trial to conclude.

They said the immersive game was like a second world… it remained to be seen how much she could explore in it.

Thinking of this, Ye Sangsang smiled, finding a new source of amusement.

She had once told herself that human nature is driven by curiosity, and now she felt that curiosity stirring within her.

Why not toy with them a bit?

Besides, she had a strong sense of revenge. If someone hit her once, she’d hit back ten times.

[Sang sister, please say something! I'm scared if you don't talk.]

[I'm curious—who really did it? From the look of it, it doesn’t seem like those awful parents…]

[The task hasn’t been settled yet. I saw that the case of the victim needs to wait for the case to be closed or for the first trial. If the criminal appeals, it will need to wait until the second trial is final. But we can fast-forward through time, it’ll be quick.]

Ye Sangsang had nothing else to do, so she opened the comment section and heard the ultra-smart system read out some selected comments.

Feeling a sense of wonder from the viewers' voices, she explained, "The psychopath wasn't hired by these parents. Based on my guess, it was probably their respective illegitimate children. The motive isn't clear yet, though."

"If you don't understand, you can look back at the conversation. They felt guilty and defensive. They were guilty toward Wen Yanxin, probably because she’s still their daughter. As for the defense, their similar words likely indicate that their own children were involved."

[Yay! Sang sister talked to us! So much in one go, it’s rare!]

[Not the parents? But thinking back, their attitude does seem defensive.]

[Is Sang sister trying to find the culprit during the trial to get justice for the blind girl?]

[I support that. The blind girl is so pitiful. I can’t find the original case though, so I don’t know if she’s alive or dead.]

The comment section became lively due to Ye Sangsang actually interacting with the audience. She was unlike other hosts who would explain every move in tedious detail.

While both types were enjoyable, viewers naturally leaned toward Sang sister, the stronger and more taciturn type, unconsciously showing more favor and tolerance toward her.

After chatting, Ye Sangsang listened to the comments for a while, and the timeline skipped to two days later.

Her injuries hadn’t affected her internal organs, so she recovered quickly. By the third day, she could walk around without issue.

Since the case wasn’t closed, reputable media dared not interview her, and the usual media were blocked, so Ye Sangsang’s surroundings were peaceful.

When the timeline skipped to this point, Ye Sangsang had already predicted who would come to see her.

Sure enough, after she walked around and returned to her bed, Xiao Jing and policewoman Wang Ying, who had comforted her, appeared.

They had been working overtime the past two days, finally sorting out all the details.

Now, they needed to confirm one thing with Ye Sangsang.

"Can we ask how you managed to resist an adult male attacker and knock him out with a book and nearly kill him with an ashtray?" Wang Ying asked, her gaze filled with suspicion.

Xiao Jing, meanwhile, intently observed Ye Sangsang.

This was the biggest mystery in the case.

If she lied, then she might be involved, and there would be no innocent party in this case.

His intuition told him that Ye Sangsang was problematic.

Ye Sangsang looked at the two and, sensing Xiao Jing’s gaze, calmly said, "I have quite a bit of strength when I'm pushed to the limit."

"Hmm?" That was it? Wang Ying paused her writing.

Ye Sangsang lowered her eyes and explained helplessly, "At that time, I only felt an intense instinct to survive, fighting for my life against the assailant. To be honest, even now, I find it hard to believe what happened."

Xiao Jing couldn't hold back and asked, "But the outcome was so brutal. Don't you have anything else to say?"

Wang Ying, standing nearby, frowned and said, "Don't say that!"

"So what should I do? Tell me the answer." Ye Sangsang said with a sad expression.

Xiao Jing fell silent and didn't continue questioning.

"I'm just answering the questions, and I take responsibility for my answers. I admit that I killed the serial killer, and I'm already in great pain. Even if the person was extremely vicious, it doesn't erase my suffering. If I'm sentenced, I have nothing to say." She pressed on.

Ye Sangsang looked at Xiao Jing, and after her initial response, tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was full of pain.

Xiao Jing felt guilty. Apart from that slight doubt, no matter how they reconstructed the scene, Ye Sangsang was purely a victim.

And after a hospital check, they confirmed that Ye Sangsang really couldn't see anything. Blindness couldn't be faked, and the hospital was a top-tier one, so they were sure the doctors wouldn't risk covering for her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing felt uneasy about his suspicions.

Wang Ying reached out to comfort Ye Sangsang, "We just want to clarify things. No matter what the case is, investigating it thoroughly is the responsibility of the police. I'm sorry if we hurt you."

"It's okay, I just got too emotional, too scared." Ye Sangsang said softly.

Xiao Jing frowned and reassured her, "It's alright, you're safe. Don't worry."

Ye Sangsang nodded.

"About the man who initially entered the room, has there been any progress?" she asked.

If there were any leads, the person should be captured as soon as possible.

Xiao Jing thought of the investigation results and quickly replied, "According to the investigation, he was a psychopath who often harassed women. His phone contained a lot of similar harassment messages. Maybe he got your information from somewhere and started harassing you. Perhaps he was stalking you, noticed that your nanny was fired, and took the opportunity to come and try something."

Ye Sangsang wasn't surprised by this result, only pretending to feel upset and lowering her head.

Wang Ying comforted her again.

After a while, the two left.

Ye Sangsang thought that relying on the police to remind them was no longer feasible, so she decided to take the initiative to uncover the truth herself.

The game's copy didn't provide detailed information, such as family relationships and other minor details.

For someone to target another person, it was either out of love or hatred. Even if they were randomly chosen as a target, there was always an underlying emotion.

Love for the act or simple hatred for the person's presence.

In Wen Yanxin's case, between the two illegitimate children, apart from love, there was only hatred.

Hatred for occupying a position, but in this day and age, a position didn't mean much. Wen Yanxin's parents despised her existence. To the illegitimate children, she posed no threat and was merely a decorative figure.

Ye Sangsang analyzed this and paused, realizing that human desires were complicated. She couldn't rule out some possibilities.

Perhaps it was simply a baseless hatred, a hatred for her existence that made them illegitimate.

Ye Sangsang's thoughts hit a bottleneck because she didn't know her opponent at all.

Suddenly, Ye Sangsang thought of something.

It didn't matter if she didn't know others; she could understand herself and her own family.

Hatred often stemmed from societal judgments and conflicts of interest.

The opponent might resent her for occupying a position, but there might also be interest-related issues.

Ye Sangsang picked up her phone. Her phone, taken as evidence and investigated, was quickly returned.

As a blind person, she used her phone with an accessible mode, and Ye Sangsang, as Wen Yanxin, adapted to this mode quickly.

She didn't call any private detectives but chose a very formal profession—a lawyer.

Investigating all her economic and identity-related information, as long as she granted permission, the lawyer could obtain everything she wanted about her.

Her assistant rarely appeared, and her room was only attended by a caretaker and the police outside.

She wasn't a criminal, so the police wouldn't prevent people she allowed from entering.

Lawyers were the easiest to find. Ye Sangsang just needed to find a reputable law firm and invite them to discuss.

As long as she paid, lawyers would be more than willing to show up.

Seeing the police at the door, the lawyer who entered was very quiet.

After entering, she said, "I'm not a criminal lawyer. Did you choose the wrong person to communicate with?"

"No, I just want you to investigate some things, things related to me—my property, bank statements, and various other information," Ye Sangsang said.

The lawyer sat down, frowned, and said, "You could have investigated these yourself."

"I'm blind, and I'm still recovering." Ye Sangsang said, looking at the lawyer.

The lawyer looked at her blank eyes and realized something, feeling guilty.

After a simple exchange, the lawyer prepared the documents for her to sign and left.

Just as Ye Sangsang thought there was a high likelihood of nothing happening, unexpected guests arrived.

The illegitimate son and daughter entered, stopped by the police, but Ye Sangsang allowed them in.

They finally came in.

Ye Sangsang quietly took a sip of water and looked at them. "What do you two want?"

"Nothing, just came to see if you were scared," said the arrogant male voice.

The other girl, with a flat and disdainful tone, asked, "Just asking if the sister has recovered. After such an experience, I guess the sister was scared out of her wits."

It was clear that both of them didn't like her and looked at Ye Sangsang with disdain.

Ye Sangsang looked at them and said, "I'm fine, just had a close call. That man died after being stabbed about four times, dying in a pool of blood."

Her words made the two fall silent, and the atmosphere in the room grew eerie.

She continued, "Oh, and the killer, died too horribly. His eyes were gouged out before he was stabbed to death. One of those thieves didn't die content."

No matter how arrogant and self-important they were, facing Ye Sangsang's words and the darkness she exuded, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.

Both of them took a step back unconsciously.

"So, do you have anything to say?" she asked.

She was very clear that the purpose of these two coming here was probably not simple.@@novelbin@@

Thinking of their intentions, the boy's tone involuntarily calmed down. He looked at Ye Sangsang with a touch of undetectable mockery and said, "We... we came to tell you that the psychopath was just a joke between us. We just wanted to scare the sister, hope you don't take it to heart."

The girl, with a smile, said, "Yes, we're both just nineteen, and we didn't know how serious it was. Mom and Uncle sent us to apologize."

Ye Sangsang understood. Was this the response of those parents to Wen Yanxin's suffering?

[Oh my god, how outrageous, I'm so angry, just don't know how serious it is and want to let it go?]

[So angry! Two pieces of trash!]

[Nineteen years old isn't nine years old, still don't know the seriousness?]

They looked at Ye Sangsang, exchanged glances, waiting for her to get furious and scream questions.

Ye Sangsang remained calm, even wearing a smile. She looked at the two and said, "So it really was you. It's okay if you can admit your mistakes and correct them." She didn't record anything because knowing it was enough for her.

"Aren't you angry?" the boy couldn't help but ask.

At this point, the girl didn't speak, but Ye Sangsang knew she was curious too.

She looked in their direction and asked, "Why should I be angry? The person is already dead. When someone dies, they deserve respect."

"You don't blame us?" the boy continued to ask.

She shook her head and said very gently, "No, it's just a joke. It's good that you admitted your mistake."

Eventually, the two left with mixed feelings.

Hearing their departing footsteps, Ye Sangsang sat for a while and dialed a number.

Xiao Jing's number.

She had observed that this person's thirst for the truth surpassed many others, making him very persistent.

A blind person had very limited abilities, and some things had to be left to professionals.

After the phone call connected, she spoke with a helpless sobbing tone, "My parents' child came to my ward today and said that they had found that pervert. I'm so scared. I'm afraid they will hurt me again. I can't see, and I don't know what's waiting for me next—maybe a car accident or something..."

Xiao Jing comforted the victim, Ye Sangsang, and inquired about the details of the incident.

The timeline jumped to the next day, and before the lawyer arrived with news, Wen Deyou and Wen Xin stormed into the room with fierce energy.

Investigations with leads move quickly, especially when involving a case that has shocked the entire city and captured the attention of countless netizens online.

From the couple's words, she learned that the two had been detained.

Xiao Jing seemed to have checked the pervert's bank account and then took the couple in for questioning.

In the police interrogation room, unless one is a seasoned criminal, it is impossible to withstand the questioning for long before breaking down and confessing everything.

The couple had paid money and provided information to have the pervert harass her over the phone initially and then deceive his way into her room later. Although no serious harm was done, the pair had the intent to injure, so they were likely charged with attempted intentional injury.

Especially since the case had such severe social repercussions, their fate of facing criminal charges was all but sealed.

Even if it was just a sentence of a year or two, it would be enough to ruin their lives.

Wen Deyou went mad and shouted angrily, "Wen Yanxin, are you insane? Didn't I have them come and apologize? Didn't you accept it? Why are you still talking to the police?! The police weren't even paying attention to this!"

"We know you were wronged, but why must you be so aggressive? Do you want to tear this family apart? What benefit does destroying their future bring you!" Wen Xin couldn't help but scream in a shrill voice, completely losing her composure.

[Ah! That's satisfying.]

[In reality, they probably look down on Wen Yanxin, treating her like a second-class citizen just because she's blind. They were convinced that a simple apology would make her drop the matter, right?]

[If apologies were enough, what good are laws for!]

Ye Sangsang looked at the two calmly and nodded, "Ah yes, I do want to tear this family apart. I enjoy being aggressive. It doesn't benefit me, but it doesn't harm me either! Don't you think?"

She admitted everything calmly, her tone steady, because these were the thoughts she harbored.

She had no morality, so no one could use morality to bind her. She had accepted their apology, but that was just what she chose to do.

Wen Deyou charged at Ye Sangsang, intent on giving her a beating. The loathing and fury he felt were at their peak.

Wen Xin also reached out, trying to grab Ye Sangsang's arm to hit her.

They were her parents, after all, so the police wouldn't intervene, and they were fed up with their blind daughter!

"Help!"

Ye Sangsang cried out loudly.

The police rushed in and pulled the two away.

Ye Sangsang looked at the couple with grievance, "I didn't mean it, I just felt so wronged and had no one to talk to, so I told Detective Xiao. I didn't expect him to investigate and have them detained."

"Bullshit!" Wen Deyou finally couldn't hold back his rage and cursed.

Wen Xin was so furious that her breathing became heavy, and she clutched her chest, shouting, "What kind of daughter have I given birth to?"

Ye Sangsang lowered her head, her slim body trembling slightly.

The two police officers reprimanded them and forced them out.

She thought to herself, I did say not to hit me carelessly, why didn't they stop?

The couple yelled outside the door until a nurse scolded them and they finally left.

[Hahaha, the ill-mannered illegitimate children are behind bars now. After reform, they should know their place.]

[Such great acting, I love it so much! Wooooh~ Wifey is the best!]

[This couple of parents are beyond saving. Feels like they're accustomed to having the upper hand just because their daughter’s blind, and their illegitimate children are the same way.]

The lawyer's investigation was relatively swift, and Ye Sangsang received the information by the afternoon.

Investigating her own information might have been startling for the lawyer, but the legal profession is full of startling events. She didn’t take long to adjust. The only thing that made her uncomfortable was the fact that her client was actually the center of a hot news story—the woman who survived a pervert, a thief, and a serial killer.

Uninformed people might think she was just lucky, but once you understand the reality, you can only admire her sheer strength.

With a bit of respect in her heart, she handed over the results of her investigation.

While investigating, she came to understand why Ye Sangsang had asked her to look into her personal details. Given the current news, there seemed to be a conclusion to the origin of this event.

Then she remembered the client couldn't see, so she picked up the file and began summarizing the results simply.

"You own two properties, about three million in cash, and some items in a safe, valued at about one million," the lawyer began, checking that Ye Sangsang was aware of these points, then continued, "There's also one more thing: You have been appointed an inheritance trust, handled by a professional law firm, to be announced during your twenty-second birthday party."

Ye Sangsang's heart strings twitched as she thought about the fact that Wen Yanxin was about to turn twenty-two and asked, "What is it?"

"Stock, it's from your grandparents. It's 5% of your family's company shares." The lawyer spoke, her voice trembling slightly at this thought.

Even though 5% might not sound like much, it represented 5% of a hundred-billion-dollar company.

At least five hundred million!

Such an amount was beyond what anyone would dare dream of.

This wasn't something she discovered from her investigation, but from some insider connections.

Ye Sangsang's legal fees to her were six figures, which earned her a thorough investigation. For a lawyer, clients are hard to come by, especially wealthy ones like her.

Ye Sangsang listened and nodded, "I understand."

The lawyer, having completed the assignment, indicated they could be contacted if needed and left.

[No wonder they teamed up, they could each get 250 million if they killed her.]

[The lawyer's on point!]

[What happened to the blind sister in real life? I really want to know! Can I get more info? This is very important to me.]

Ye Sangsang got the results, as expected.

The second world of *Crime Files* promoted well for a reason – it’s very detailed and realistic.

After receiving the outcome, Ye Sangsang jumped ahead in the narrative timeline.

However, it wasn't smooth. Xiao Jing's persistence not only exposed the illegitimate children but also backfired on Ye Sangsang.

He repeatedly came to question various details, hoping to find any discrepancies, and Ye Sangsang had to answer his questions again and again.

After recovering, Ye Sangsang was investigated once more.

She returned to that large flat, playing her role repeatedly. She grew frustrated with the questioning but managed.

She endured because she knew this was the final game.

And in this game, the ultimate victory would be hers.

With external pressure, the case was quickly made public, revealing all the causes, effects, and details.

The case was wrapped up and handed over to other departments, and Ye Sangsang achieved an initial victory.

A very realistic outcome was that Wen Deyou and Wen Xin quickly sided with Ye Sangsang after she smoothly inherited the estate.

Yet, she didn't need a guardian; she merely had a disability, not a lack of self-sufficiency.

She was released on bail due to her illness and blindness.

This was standard procedure since, after all, she was suspected of having taken a life.

On the morning of the first trial, she was picked up and taken to court.

She sat in the defendant's seat.

She was repeatedly questioned about every detail, and her lawyer fought hard for her.

The lawyer said she could be justified as self-defense.

After several hours of trial, it concluded, and she returned home to await the verdict.

This was the expected outcome for many.

Time jumped four and a half months later, and she received the verdict of self-defense.

The lawyer predicted the prosecution would likely drop the appeal, finally resolving the case, and she secured her victory once more.

And the illegitimate children received a one-year sentence.

Ye Sangsang felt it was decent, the only irritation being Detective Xiao Jing, who continued digging for answers and maintained suspicion about Ye Sangsang’s intentions.

With that, Ye Sangsang simply thought he had good instincts.

She figured the mission should conclude.

As she waited, she received a message.

It was from Xiao Jing, asking her to meet him at a certain location.

The task hadn't been settled yet, probably because the prosecution's deadline for the appeal hadn't expired? Ye Sangsang temporarily gave up on jumping timelines and decided to meet as agreed.

Ye Sangsang was escorted to the scheduled café by her hired professional assistant, and it was clear from the serene atmosphere that the place was quite tranquil.

"Please, have a seat," Xiao Jing's voice rang out.

Ye Sangsang slowly sat down, her blank eyes fixed on Xiao Jing's direction.

During this uninterrupted period of time, she had already grown quite impatient with Xiao Jing.

He was a man as relentless in seeking the truth as a mirror was in reflecting every detail, something strikingly different from the police officers she had encountered in previous scenarios.

Considering how she had utilized him to uncover the truth, Ye Sangsang managed to exert a bit more patience with him.

She looked at him and asked, "What is it you want to ask?"

"Didn't you deliberately... ah, it's too late to say that now..." Xiao Jing said with a hint of helplessness.

True to his name, Xiao Jing was like a mirror, capable of reflecting everyone's true selves.

But this time, he clearly sensed something was amiss. He knew that Ye Sangsang had deliberately thrown the bait to lure the other person in, yet he lacked evidence to prove it.

Even though Ye Sangsang's performance was flawless, presenting her as the archetypal victim, he could still perceive the underlying truth.

Today, he had invited her here hoping to uncover that truth.

Ye Sangsang had grasped his intentions ever since their second encounter.

She lowered her eyes, choosing not to address his unanswered questions but instead consoled him, "Human nature is inherently malicious. Do you think, other than fools, there are genuinely pure-hearted people with absolutely no ill intent?"

Her message was clear: there was no point in clinging to this point, letting it become a psychological knot.

"You know, I don't want to hear that. I just want to prove my hypothesis," Xiao Jing calmly retorted.

He wanted to know if his judgment was right or wrong, and he wanted Ye Sangsang to answer him.

Ye Sangsang looked at him, her voice steady yet piercing, "What truth are you seeking? You should sympathize with me, the victim."

Xiao Jing understood what Ye Sangsang was saying and lowered his head, "I'm sorry, but I can't help it."

The atmosphere grew heavy.

Ye Sangsang wasn't angry, nor did she press further. In fact, she even admired him, albeit grudgingly. If it weren't for people who insisted on getting to the bottom of things, the world would be in chaos, as there would always be those who took advantage of loopholes.

She decided to give him an answer.

She looked directly at him and said plainly, "If you look at it another way, if the other party hadn't been asking for it, would that outcome have occurred?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing's body stiffened for a long time before he finally displayed a look of sudden realization, holding his forehead and muttering, "You've seen through it all along, haven't you? It's laughable how I was stuck on that one point."

Ye Sangsang pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, I just wasn't sure if I could convince you before."

"I'm sorry," Xiao Jing said again.

Ultimately, Xiao Jing left. What he had been chasing after was truly meaningless and unreasonable.

It wasn't that he shouldn't seek the truth, but some things just didn't matter, like the fact that the other party had brought it upon themselves. He had been too fixated.

【I didn't get it.】

【Me neither. What was the point? What truth? Why the sudden realization!】

【What’s going on, Sis Sang?】

Many viewers hadn't grasped the conversation.

Ye Sangsang saw the confusion and explained, "The other party knew I had deliberately thrown the ball, so they relentlessly pursued me, trying to make me admit it."

【Oh, now I get it. Why so intense?】

【What was Sis Sang's answer though?】

【Earlier, Sis Sang was telling him that her luring required the murderer's cooperation. If the other party hadn't stepped forward, they wouldn't have died. It was all their own fault, no one else was to blame, she was consoling him!】

Hearing the explanation in the chat, Ye Sangsang took a sip of her coffee.

In hindsight, Xiao Jing wasn't entirely rigid.

After finishing her coffee, Ye Sangsang decided to jump timelines.

【Congratulations to Player Ye Sangsang for perfectly completing the 'Escape' case scenario. Scenario evaluation: SSS.】

【Congratulations to Player Ye Sangsang for receiving the SSS-level mission completion reward: 1 Physical Attribute Point, freely assignable to basic physical attributes.】

Congratulations to the player for receiving the first completion reward: 1 Plot Hint Card (usable only once).

Ye Sangsang exited the game scenario.

【Another SSS! Sis Sang is so amazing!】

【This scenario was so hard, even Sis Sang's speedrun isn't giving me much confidence for when I enter.】

【What matters most is the thrill, and I look forward to getting in there myself.】

After chatting with the audience, Ye Sangsang took her first close look at the game scenarios.

On the virtual screen, thumbnails of various scenarios with brief descriptions scrolled by.

Eventually, Ye Sangsang selected one.

She wondered what identity card this new scenario would grant her.

Just as Ye Sangsang was about to make her move, the chat suddenly started scrolling rapidly. Ye Sangsang glanced at the chat and paused, momentarily stunned by the uproar.
