Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 184 Maybe You Really Like Me

After returning to the Municipal Bureau, Su Miaoyi went to the autopsy room but didn't see anything through the corpse. She then handed over her work to Chu Xingrou and returned to Weiyang Palace.

She needed to avoid any involvement with Cheng Jue.

But after arriving at Weiyang Palace, she stood in front of the whiteboard, holding a pen in one hand and An'an in the other, and went through all the clues.

"Are there any missing clues?" Su Miaoyi asked.

An'an listened to her speak while nestled in her arms, glanced up at her, and then closed her eyes again.

The voice in my head said, "No, all the findings from tonight are here."

"How could a murder be carried out with the remote control in the hands of a paper doll?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"There's probably another remote control," the voice in my head said.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "But we didn't find it at the scene today. When we left the Municipal Bureau, the technical department said that the remote control range was within three meters. There are too many people within three meters. If there was another one, where could it be hidden?"

After a moment of silence, the voice in my head said, "Should we start by looking for clues from Liu Nanmo?"

Su Miaoyi's gaze shifted to Liu Nanmo's name.

"Why kill him? This device clearly wants him dead, and it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was premeditated. Some people kill on impulse, but what kind of hatred, after careful consideration, still leads to the desire to kill someone?" the voice in my head said.

Su Miaoyi was also thinking.

"Moreover, Liu Nanmo's identity is somewhat special. He is an investor, has acted in many dramas, is famous, and has fans. Killing him would definitely attract attention and would be a huge risk."

"If the murderer isn't found in Liu Nanmo's case, the Liu family won't let it go, and public opinion will continue to put pressure on them."

"So, the murderer was completely desperate, even if it meant risking his own life to kill him."

Listening to her words, Su Miaoyi thought for a while: "And his assistants, one has been with him for five years and the other for seven years. But both of them said they didn't know about Liu Nanmo hitting someone."

"The two people were his personal assistants, but they didn't know much about his private life. They knew he had had many girlfriends, and whenever the topic came up, the assistants would say he was a very good person, very generous to them, and very kind to each of his girlfriends."

“Cheng Jue didn’t lie,” the voice in his head said. “Both assistants’ statements mentioned that when Liu Nanmo was alone with his girlfriend, they kept them far away. So it’s normal that they didn’t know what was going to happen.”

Su Miaoyi nodded: "I'm also wary of my assistant who's been with me for so many years."

"In this industry, reputation is paramount. He'll definitely be very careful about it."

Su Miaoyi was silent for a while: "I need to stay out of this. I might not know anything about what's going on after this."

The voice in my head clicked its tongue: "Troublesome."

"Was Xu Jinlan genuinely frightened, or did she shout on purpose?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"You must have been really scared, vomiting and having a fever. Being scared can cause these symptoms."

“You know quite a lot,” Su Miaoyi said.

"You just know too little."

"Where's Meng Yan?" Su Miaoyi looked at the name on the whiteboard again. "From what she said, it seemed like she wasn't happy with her relationship with Liu Nanmo."

"I'll definitely ask her more questions about it. Even if she doesn't want to talk about it, I'll make her say it."

“Director,” Su Miaoyi looked at the name Wang Youxian again, “If it’s him, he has many advantages.”

“The props team is the most convenient,” the voice in my head said. “However, they’ve been filming for several days, so it’s not impossible for the killer to tamper with the footage.”

Su Miaoyi nodded slowly, stroking An'an's head as she listened to An'an snoring: "This case is a bit special. It's a murder using a device. Even though we saw the footage, we didn't see the killer."

"Since the murderer didn't directly kill anyone, isn't the chance of seeing the footage through the murderer also very slim?"

"Stop thinking about it, go to sleep," the voice in your head said.

"Do you want to sleep with me?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Tsk, it's a good thing no one can hear what you're saying and they don't know I'm there, otherwise they'd think we're narcissists."

Su Miaoyi suddenly froze on the spot, unable to move for a full minute, then suddenly screamed, "Ah ...

"What are you doing so late at night! Even with good soundproofing, you can't shout like that!"

An'an was woken up and was so frightened that she clung to her clothes with her paws.

“Our only neighbor is away on a business trip.” Su Miaoyi looked towards Shen Yanzhou. “Then you should stop calling me.” The voice in her head chuckled, its tone cold, “Don’t tell me you actually like me.”

“You’re dreaming! Let your ideas have a beauty pageant; they’d be number one in the world,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Then why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Su Miaoyi patted An'an's head. "I really misunderstood you. I thought you were some aloof and mature woman. Turns out you're a chatterbox with no sense of propriety."

"You think people are too one-dimensional."

“Indeed.” Su Miaoyi put An’an on the sofa and walked towards the bathroom. When she got there, she looked at herself in the mirror and said, “You haven’t fallen in love with me, have you?”

"Ha. You're so weak, you should be thanking your lucky stars that I don't look down on you anymore."

Su Miaoyi pursed her lips: "I'm the one who thinks you're bad."

"Hurry up and wash up, then go to bed."

"No, with your schedule, if I don't sleep, you won't either?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"You're the one who kept nagging me to talk."

"Oh."

Early the next morning.

Su Miaoyi was woken up by her phone ringing.

She picked up her phone and saw that it was Ge Yu calling.

She immediately became more alert: "Auntie."

"Miaomiao, um, um... Cheng Jue has been arrested, right?" Ge Yu's anxious voice was almost crying.

"Huh?" Su Miaoyi tensed up. "You've been arrested?"

“I saw the news online this morning and called him. He said he was at the hotel and couldn’t come out,” Ge Yu said.

Su Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought something had happened last night and that Cheng Jue had been arrested.

She was startled: "Auntie, it's nothing. Something happened at their filming location. Not just him, everyone involved in the filming has had their movements restricted to some extent. Once the case is closed, everything will be fine."

"Is that so?" Ge Yu asked.

"Yes. Don't worry, everything's fine," Su Miaoyi said. "He's perfectly safe over there. If something really happened to him, we wouldn't be able to get through to him on the phone."

"Won't that affect his chances of getting into university?" Ge Yu asked again.

"No. It won't have any impact."

“I saw online that there was a murder case. Could it be related to him? Will he end up being the one charged with it?”

“Auntie, no. The police won’t let the bad guys go unpunished, nor will they wrong the innocent. You can rest assured at home,” Su Miaoyi said.

After comforting Ge Yu for a while, I hung up the phone.

Su Miaoyi opened her phone and checked the news online.

This matter is all over the trending topics, and the discussion is extremely high.
