After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 616: Revised - 606 Sherlock

Everyone looked at Bi Xia with a dumbfounded expression, what the hell, simulating the crime scene???Xu Renfei put away the jade flute and pushed his long hair over his shoulders, "Damn it, so hot!!! Director, can you not make me keep my hair down next time? Like Little Jiu’er, tying it up is both cool and handsome, how great is that!"

After speaking, seeing Bi Xia’s side-eye attack, Xu Renfei immediately got serious, cleared his throat, and with hands behind his back, pretended to say, "That’s right, we were just simulating the crime scene."

"When Little Jiu’er and I were checking the scene, we found a tool, it was an automatic trip switch device, that after a certain amount of time, would cut off all the lights, and after some time, the lights would come back on."

"Just now, I was merely using that timed device..." Xu Renfei frowned as he spoke, "Speaking of which, I really want to complain!"

"Director Li, this is ancient times, can’t you not break character? There was no such thing back then!"

After speaking, Xu Renfei resumed his serious expression, and looked at Landlord Wang, "Earlier, Little Jiu’er and I were eating here, but after the lights went out, all we heard was a series of footsteps, then Miss Wang’s scream, and then nothing. When the lights came back on, Mr. Li was already lying before us..."

"But," Xu Renfei smiled, "just now, we turned off the lights once again without anyone knowing, and this time, we not only heard Miss Wang’s scream, footsteps, but also Landlord Wang’s cold shout and Little Jiu’er’s stopping voice."

Spinning the jade flute, Xu Renfei walked slowly, "Let’s assume Little Jiu’er was Mr. Li, then when Mr. Li heard Miss Wang’s scream, shouldn’t he come forward to help? But he didn’t even make a cold shout."

"Then there’s Landlord Wang, when someone suddenly came to attack your daughter, wouldn’t you want to know who it was? But you were calm enough to protect your daughter, didn’t even make a sound when getting hurt. All I can say is, you’re impressive."

"What do you mean by this!" Landlord Wang looked coldly at Xu Renfei.

Xu Renfei shrugged, Bi Xia patted Xu Renfei on the shoulder and looked up at Landlord Wang, "Fei’s meaning is no more than saying... you are lying."

"I’d like to ask you two, do you know if Mr. Li was still alive when someone came to attack you?" Xu Renfei asked Landlord Wang and Miss Wang.

Miss Wang took a deep breath and calmly said, "He didn’t come to help us, he must have already been dead."

"If that’s the case, it’s even more confusing," Bi Xia smiled, "Mr. Li was right next to you, when the lights suddenly went out, Mr. Li was by your side, shouldn’t you have moved closer to him for safety?"

"Even if you were brave and strong, Mr. Li was so close to you, if he was killed, you would be the first to notice, right? But you not only didn’t feel it but didn’t even call him. If a killer really passed by you, you should have felt someone passing by, right!"

"The sudden blackout was the best reaction, wasn’t it?"

Under Bi Xia’s barrage of questions and analysis, Miss Wang’s face alternated between green and white, not knowing how to respond.

Bi Xia wasn’t in a hurry either, she shrugged, "Never mind, this reaction is just a guess anyway, after all, I’m not a real detective or police officer, just an amateur."

"So, let’s cut to the chase and talk directly about the direct evidence."

Bi Xia walked emotionlessly to ’Mr. Li’, lifted the belt she had taken off, "I once watched an episode of ’Sherlock’ which said that if a person ties their belt very tightly, it would reduce the pain and sensation when something sharp pierces in."
