Chapter 93: The Truth Revealed (Part Two)

The entire live stream plunged into a thirty-second silence after Chen Yu revealed the shocking twist. Even the barrage of comments stopped. Everyone was stunned by the truth, so twisted it felt as though their very worldview shattered. A man, desperate to avenge his wife, killed another man’s wife—someone who had come to help him and who had suffered the same loss. This was beyond any description of distorted humanity. This was hell.

Chen Yu withdrew his icy gaze from the one-way glass and returned it to the center of the interrogation room. His voice sounded like judgment from the depths of the underworld.

"In the end, it was Zhang Luoluo!"

He spoke those words and once again, sharply turned his head toward the cold lens of the camera. On the other side, in a lavish office, Zhang Fu, the richest man in Jiangcheng, froze. He stared at the screen as if trying to burn Chen Yu’s face into his retinas. The two men, separated by a screen, locked eyes.

[Whoa! It’s here! Finally, the case of Miss Zhang!]
[Damn, the previous cases were explosive enough. I feel my CPU is fried!]
[That gaze from Zombie Brother! So much murderous intent! He’s definitely directing his words at Zhang Fu!]

Chen Yu ignored the frenzy in the comments and began to speak slowly.

"Everyone must be familiar with Zhang Luoluo, the only daughter of the richest man in Jiangcheng, and a highly capable contender in our show ‘Old Cases Revisited’. Recently, she’s been investigating the fifteen-year-old Ripper case. She anticipated that this sensational unsolved crime would be the next case tackled by the production team, so she did extensive preparation ahead of time."

Chen Yu’s voice suddenly deepened, tinged with regret.

"But it was this extraordinary devotion to her work that ultimately cost her her young life. I don’t know what exactly she uncovered, but I think you—" His gaze stabbed toward Liu Gang. "You know very well!"

"When Zhang Luoluo met with you in secret, she must have presented something… evidence that left you unable to refute, evidence that scared you. And that evidence became your motive to kill her!"

The moment his words fell, Chen Yu moved. He gave no one time to react, striding toward the interrogation seat, toward the black backpack Liu Gang had carried for fifteen years.

That backpack was old, dirty, marked by time, and heavy with sin.

A harsh zipper sound echoed through the room. Chen Yu yanked open the zipper of the bag. He didn’t even need to use his [Rewind] skill anymore. In the face of absolute truth, all supernatural powers were unnecessary.

Inside the bag were only a few items. The most conspicuous was a black, unmarked memory card, lying quietly.

Chen Yu slowly reached in with two fingers, pinched the card, and turned to face Liu Gang again.

"What did Zhang Luoluo discover?"

"Sigh..." Liu Gang let out a long sigh, smiling bitterly.

"I... I was too sensitive! Too sensitive..." He muttered, his voice filled with regret.

"Zhang Luoluo investigated the attendance records at the research institute back then. When I killed the escort and Shen Tao’s wife, I hadn’t resigned yet! And at those two times, I wasn’t at the institute. But the attendance records clearly showed that I was supposed to be on duty!"

Hearing this, flames of anger exploded in Chen Yu’s eyes—anger at such irredeemable stupidity.

"Liu Gang!" Chen Yu roared, nearly crushing the memory card in his hand. "Have you completely lost your mind? The so-called evidence Zhang Luoluo found couldn’t actually prove you were the killer! She was bluffing! She was testing your reaction! You idiot!"

[Oh! I get it! Zhang Luoluo only found suspicious points, not solid proof!]
[So Liu Gang, guilt-ridden, exposed himself?]
[Wow! Isn’t this real-life Werewolf, with the seer announcing their suspicion and the werewolf instantly self-destructing? How stupid can you get!]
[Poor Miss Zhang, just investigating and ran headlong into a madman!]

Liu Gang’s body began to tremble violently. Chen Yu’s shouts struck him like heavy hammers.

"Yes... Thinking back now... She really was bluffing..."

His voice broke with tears.

"But at the time... I couldn’t think straight at all... My mind was filled with revenge, with hate... I thought she had discovered everything..."

Chen Yu looked at this demon consumed by hatred with deep disgust. He no longer wanted to waste another word.

Words could no longer describe how pitiful and hateful this man was.

Chen Yu slowly pulled a few more items from the sinful backpack: a bloodstained dagger, a pair of less-than-clean white gloves, and a black hooded cloak, large enough to shroud a person in darkness.

He presented each item to the camera, to the tens of millions watching online.

"Liu Gang carried all his tools with him," Chen Yu said coldly. "And this backpack has been on his shoulders for fifteen years!"

He said no more.

Witnesses, physical evidence, motive—everything was in place.

The chain of evidence was airtight.

This serial murder case, spanning fifteen years and claiming numerous lives, forcing countless people to live in terror and pain—the truth was finally revealed!

[Sigh… It’s over…]
[Fifteen years! A madman walked the city with murder tools for fifteen years! Terrifying!]
[Respect to the victims, respect to Miss Zhang, and respect to Zombie Brother!]
[As hateful as Liu Gang is, he’s also pitiable… Fate is cruel.]

The comments were filled with sighs.

In the interrogation room, Su Qingzhu stared coldly at Liu Gang, as if looking at a corpse.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious office, Zhang Fu—who had been tense all along—collapsed the moment Chen Yu produced the dagger. He sank heavily into the leather chair. The raging anger and hatred in his eyes slowly faded.

His daughter’s vengeance was exacted.

Though not by his own hand, this outcome—he accepted it.

Silence enveloped the interrogation room.

Just as everyone believed this heart-stopping live interrogation was coming to its end—

Liu Gang suddenly raised his head.

In his eyes burned a solitary obsession. His voice trembled as he asked,

"So… what about what you promised me? Who was the one who killed my wife?"

Chen Yu was taken aback, then a bittersweet smile appeared on his face, filled with the utmost pity.

He looked at Liu Gang as if gazing at a fool who hadn’t woken from a dream.

"Is it that you refuse to believe, or are you simply foolish?"

Liu Gang stared at him blankly, not understanding.

Chen Yu sighed deeply, finally uttering the answer that had been right in front of them all along.

"The one who killed your wife—isn’t it your brother-in-law, Luo Xiangdong?"
