There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 147 "I Killed Her.

Could those kicks actually be a special form of treatment? That would make sense. It surely couldn't be that the sole purpose of reviving their father was just to kick him a few times, could it?

But from start to finish, this 'big brother' hadn't spoken a single word to them. He really was the epitome of aloofness.

...

Three minutes had already passed for Chen Yi.

He had even heard the sound of police sirens starting up below the apartment complex, estimating that in less than a minute, the police would break through the door.

By now, Chen Yi had finished reading all the diaries on the computer.

Yes, there was a hidden document on the desktop containing the daily diaries written by the original owner of the identity, recording everything from his modest business achievements to his emotional journey after the business failure.

It also detailed many minor points.

For example, the original owner of the identity liked to bite his fingers when anxious.

Another point was that the wife under this identity was exceedingly punctual and rarely left home; she had no friends and didn't go shopping.

Usually, she bought clothes online and groceries were delivered to her door.

She would only leave the house once or twice a month, just like the original owner of the identity, preferring to stay at home.

However, the couple slept in separate rooms, not due to marital problems, but because the wife couldn't stand the smell of her husband's cigarettes.

Chen Yi sat in the living room, glanced at the bloodstain in the corner that had not been cleaned up, put his fingers to his mouth, and quickly scrolled through the wife's phone, beginning to check the relevant information.

This game's map wasn't too difficult; as long as he could act convincingly as the male owner of the identity through the information seen and inferred, he would pass.

But obtaining the hidden mission was harder.

The hidden mission was to escape the crime.

Even though the wife's body had already been disposed of, the bloodstains around the house were not thoroughly cleaned. The moment the police would break in, he would have to admit guilt and face the law on the spot.

Escape the crime? With what?

But after reading the diaries recorded by the original inhabitant of the computer, he discovered that this map actually offered the possibility of escaping the crime for the player.

In the self-narration in the husband's diary,

His wife was a birth policy violator from the village, who, due to early fears of fines by her family, was never registered in the household, nor did she attend school, working instead in small workshops. Her family had also passed away early, leaving virtually no relatives behind.

Then she met him.

And had been with him ever since, the wife disliking going out to work and preferring life inside the home.

Even when several law officers pinned him down on the sofa and cuffed him with silver handcuffs, he didn't utter a single word.

...

"Confess."

Inside the interrogation room.

A few law officers, their faces stern and cold, looked at Chen Yi, who was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, and said word by word, "Where did you hide your wife's body? Come clean for leniency, and perhaps you could have an opportunity to apply for a reduced sentence."

"I hope you know that we have already obtained sufficient evidence of your crime; we brought you here for questioning not to collect evidence, but to offer you a chance to reduce your sentence."

"Given the severity of this case, if you don't come clean, you won't be able to escape the death penalty."

"Think carefully about it."

Seated in the interrogation chair, Chen Yi murmured after a long silence with a dispirited look in his eyes, "I used to make money too. During that time, my wife was very obedient to me."

"But when my business failed, she immediately changed her attitude towards me."

"She began to detest the smell of my smoking, to complain about me not cleaning up my messy room, to resent that I didn't make money and couldn't afford her shopping habituals, to find fault with many things I did."

"Until today, when we had a conflict."

"I killed her."

"I stabbed her in the abdomen with the dagger from the coffee table."

"Then I searched online for how to clean up a body. I dismembered her corpse and fed it to the pet dog, cleaned all the blood in the house, and dissolved her hair with a solution and flushed it down the toilet."

"Don't blame me, she was the one who changed first, she deserved to die."

"The abdomen?"

A law officer sitting behind the desk suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the bandaged wound on Chen Yi's chest, "Where exactly was the wound?"

"About below the right chest, I think. I wanted to stab her heart."

"But the fruit knife was a bit short, her breasts were too big, and I was worried that it wouldn't penetrate the breast and reach the heart, so I stabbed below the right chest."

The law officers exchanged glances without speaking, feeling that something was amiss.

Before Chen Yi was taken to the interrogation chair, they had found a puncture wound on him, located just below the right chest.

The evidence of the wound was clear: it was self-inflicted.

They had always assumed that he attempted suicide out of guilt before they arrived, but now... something seemed subtly off, didn't it?
