Chapter 287: The Perfect Woman

Chapter 287: The Perfect Woman

Interrogation Room.

Xiao Yu sat quietly on the sidelines, watching as Guo Qiang and his team interrogated the suspect, Liu Yunwei.

“I did kill Jiang Xiuran.”

“I killed Yu Xue too.”

“Even my ex-girlfriend—I was the one who killed her.”

Liu Yunwei showed no sign of resistance as he confessed everything.

Moreover, he recounted every detail of his crimes.

First, he spoke of his ex-girlfriend.

He had a twisted desire to transform her into the perfect woman.

So Liu Yunwei employed psychological suggestion techniques—using empathetic cues over an extended period to manipulate her mind.

He claimed that this method was effective.

After all, when lovers are head-over-heels, their defenses are down.

Under such conditions, psychological persuasion can alter perceptions, thoughts, memories, and actions… almost like hypnosis!

Throughout the process, his girlfriend suffered tremendous mental and physical torment, teetering on the edge of collapse daily, unable to resist the invasive suggestions.

Eventually, she broke down completely and succumbed to mental illness.

Liu Yunwei, convinced of his own perfection, could not accept having a mentally ill partner.

So he implanted further suggestions that drove her to commit suicide!

After her death, he experienced an unprecedented rush of excitement and satisfaction.

That thrill spurred him to want to kill someone with his own hands.

He fixed his sights on Jiang Xiuran, a victim who had visited a clinic.

Determined to commit the perfect murder, Liu Yunwei began his meticulous planning, watching and waiting for the ideal moment.

For over ten days, he devised every detail—from choosing a disposal site to planning how to clean up after the deed…

Until, finally, he put his plan into motion.

First, he pretended to be a patient immune to pain and called Jiang Xiuran.

Then, they arranged to meet at a bar.

Instead of confronting him directly, Liu Yunwei left a mobile phone hidden in the gap of a sofa in a private lounge at the bar…

At this revelation, Xiao Yu’s expression shifted subtly as he nodded in acknowledgment.

So he used a phone to manipulate him psychologically?!

No wonder Jiang Xiuran was seen meeting someone else at the bar.

At that time, had he been sitting alone in the lounge, talking with Liu Yunwei over the phone?

Liu Yunwei continued, explaining that they spoke two more times afterwards.

Then, another meeting was arranged.

The murder location… a container truck!

Everyone knows that such trucks house large shipping containers.

The crime scene turned out to be inside one of those containers.

Under the influence of his manipulations, the victim trusted Liu Yunwei completely.

He believed that after his body was dismembered, he would be set free—able to feel both pain and the ecstasy of death, and ultimately reach a beautiful place… a heavenly sanctuary!

Thus, Jiang Xiuran was ruthlessly slain by Liu Yunwei!

And that wasn’t all.

Liu Yunwei had also prepared tools to stitch the victim’s body parts together using iron wires.

He crafted what he believed to be a perfect work of art… a human-shaped dog.

Next came the second victim, Yu Xue.

This time, Liu Yunwei escalated his methods.

Again using psychological manipulation, now combined with traditional herbal anesthesia.

The murder of Yu Xue was not only perverse, but chillingly brutal!

…

Every detail of the case fit perfectly.

They found the container truck—it was a second-hand vehicle that wasn’t even registered under Liu Yunwei’s name.

The murder weapon, a bone-chopping knife, along with various tools used to stitch the body, were recovered as well.

Other traces were also discovered.

The truck bore evidence belonging both to the victim and to Liu Yunwei.

The case now appeared completely solved.

Confessions, physical evidence, and every step of the crime—all pieced together.

In the conference room…

Xiao Yu observed his colleagues celebrating, catching glimpses of their joy and relief.

He chose not to disturb them.

Stepping outside the conference room to the Criminal Investigation Team building, he sat on a curb and lit a cigarette.

He felt as though his mind had short-circuited.

It was as if someone had ground his intelligence into dust.

Exhaling a plume of smoke, his thoughts raced at breakneck speed.

He mulled over every detail of the case—analyzing, chewing on, and piecing together each element.

At that moment, he pushed aside all negative emotions.

Every thought and clear idea was channeled into rigorous deductive reasoning.

Using logic, he sketched out a world in his mind.

A flawless criminal world!

“If I were Liu Yunwei—the murderer…”

“No, he’s not worthy!”

“Let me simulate being… the perfect criminal!”

Time slowly passed.

For a full hour, Xiao Yu sat there like a statue.

Until the first light of dawn broke through, and morning began to illuminate the world.

Xiao Yu slowly raised his head, gazing at the red sunrise.

“So… it is you!”

…

Jiang Xin sat quietly on the rooftop.

She watched as the sunrise spread its brilliant light over the city.

Only then did she feel that the world was truly beautiful.

At that moment, she could relax completely and face the world with calm assurance.

Believing herself to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The perfect woman!

Slowly, she rose and walked to the edge of the rooftop.

She stretched out her arms, as if to embrace the world meant for her.

“Good thing you didn’t jump off the building!”

A man’s voice, rich and magnetic, rang out—a voice capable of captivating any woman.

Anyone hearing it would think the speaker was both handsome and tender.

Indeed, the man speaking was truly perfect.

So perfect that Jiang Xin found herself irresistibly drawn to him.

Yet, she knew she must resist.

After all, like a moth to a flame, the end could only be disastrous.

With a silent sigh, Jiang Xin withdrew her arms; as she turned, her cold expression softened into warmth, tinted with a hint of confusion as she glanced back at the man.

“Officer, what brings you here?”

Her surprised yet gentle look made her seem like a timid, obedient woman.

“Yes, I’m here.”

Xiao Yu grinned broadly at the soft, almost bunny-like woman before him and teased, “Don’t make that face—the way I count my IQ, I’d still outmatch you by a couple of pounds!”
