Chapter 65: Chapter 65: My Meticulous Scheme, So Easily Defeated!

When Xi Yian spoke, Chen Xiao turned his head in disbelief.

He knew the tension within Xi Yian had finally snapped, and he was also waiting for Xi Yian’s statement about the case.

However, what Xi Yian was talking about now was self-surrender!

What does self-surrender mean?

It means admitting guilt without any resistance!

Although it sounds like self-surrender and a truthful confession about the case have no difference, when these words are spoken, the mindset of the suspect is completely different.

Xi Yian felt he should face judgment, remorseful to death!

Liang Yan also asked in surprise, “Xi Yian, what did you say? Self-surrender?”

Xi Yian raised his head, chest out, seriously replied, “Yes, I want to surrender! Su Haidong died by my hand!”

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes, and Liang Yan also looked somber, asking, “Then what was your motive for killing him?”

“Because a long time ago, I suspected Si Ying’s disappearance was related to Su Haidong! So after planning for a long time, I finally subdued him at Swallow Lane, then hung him on the second floor of No. 314 Swallow Lane.”

“Initially, I didn’t intend to kill him, because I was very clear that if I killed him, I might never find Si Ying.”

“But I never would have thought that bastard Su Haidong fully grasped my thoughts. He knew that before finding Si Ying, I wouldn’t kill him!”

“So throughout the process, despite his pain, Su Haidong kept provoking me. He even used Si Ying to humiliate me, his words were so dirty, so vile, his mouth spewed filth, degrading Si Ying as worthless!”

“I was enraged, and anger made me completely lose my sanity. So the knife in my hand fell on his body faster and faster, as if in a movie scene going mad, slicing his flesh piece by piece!”

“When he gradually lost motion, my sanity slowly returned. Looking at the already breathless Su Haidong, I began to panic, wanting to save him. But by then, it was too late. My fury was rekindled, I desperately questioned him why to the death he refused to disclose Si Ying’s whereabouts!”

“Out of anger, I skinned him to bones! But staring at his bones, I felt no happiness at all. I knew there were still things I hadn’t done, so I couldn’t afford trouble! Before finding Si Ying, I couldn’t be caught by you all!”

“But now that Si Ying has been found, my persistence has become meaningless.”

After saying this, Xi Yian seemed relieved.

Liang Yan continued to note down, but after listening, not only did she, even Chen Xiao had the same thought emerging.

Is that all?

Chen Xiao looked seriously at Xi Yian, “Since you’ve confessed, now you should explain why Su Haidong killed Si Ying, shouldn’t you?”

Xi Yian didn’t hesitate, “Haven’t you also found out? Su Jing and Su Ting are not Su Haidong’s biological daughters, that bastard couldn’t perform! Su Jing and Su Ting were adopted for the sake of face, so all that’s seen by others has always been a lie!”

“Su Haidong was a hypocritical and twisted person, in front of strangers he treated the two daughters very lovingly. But once the door closed, Su Jing and Su Ting and even the late Li Ruomei lived a hellish existence.”

“He used every method to torment Li Ruomei and the two daughters, also blamed his infertility on Li Ruomei. Making that poor woman truly believe her inability to conceive was the reason for the Su Family’s extinction.”

“Of course, initially this was Su Haidong’s own affair having nothing to do with Si Ying. But coincidentally, shortly after Si Ying returned to Dongzhou post-divorce, she met Su Jing and Su Ting.”

“She too was a woman without children, deep in her heart always yearning for a child. So she showered Su Jing and Su Ting with exceptional affection. Due to their mother’s death, Su Jing and Su Ting were left only with fear towards that household. Si Ying was like the light shining into their dark lives, during that time, they all seemed to find what each needed.”

“I was also happy to see them getting along so well, taking lots of lifestyle photos for them, but everything was shattered by one decision Si Ying made. Initially when they met, Si Ying didn’t know Su Jing and Su Ting’s living situation. But when she found out about Su Haidong’s hypocrisy and twisted nature, she deeply felt Su Jing and Su Ting shouldn’t grow up in such a family.”

“Yet this ultimately was their family business, Si Ying felt as though, no matter what, she couldn’t change anything. Until Su Ting told her that Su Haidong wasn’t the real father of the two girls, even using special connections to adopt them, Si Ying wanted to expose this!”

“Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Just before Si Ying could do such a thing, Su Haidong knew. How could someone like him let his ugliness be unveiled? To permanently silence Si Ying, he went mad and killed her!”

“But who would have thought in the end, Si Ying would be buried in Li Ruomei’s coffin by that horrible man! I couldn’t fathom, truly couldn’t comprehend! Even, every day like a lunatic I obsessively watched the news, wanting to know if anyone has found disposed bodies somewhere, as long as there’s a disposed body I’d go check it out.”

Here, Xi Yian looked again at Chen Xiao, “Actually it wasn’t just at the bathhouse that I ran into you, I saw you when the headless body was discovered by the riverbank too. So when you stepped into my shop, fear stirred uncontrollably inside me.”

“I feel that our repeated encounters weren’t coincidental, but fate. Fate was telling me, sooner or later I would fall at your hands.”

“Now that day has truly arrived, the only thing catching me off guard is how quickly it came, too quickly for me to be prepared! But there’s also solace in this, although I fell in your hands, you helped me find Si Ying, thank you… Chen Xiao!”

Xi Yian stood and bowed deeply towards Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao watched, his face showing no hint of joy or anger, his gaze remaining contemplative.

Seeing Xi Yian straighten up, Chen Xiao asked him, “Is it finished?”

Xi Yian frowned, “What do you mean finished?”

“Weren’t you confessing? Naturally everything has to be confessed, so have you finished?”

Xi Yian chuckled self-mockingly, “You must mean the photo wall?”

Chen Xiao neither nodded nor shook his head, as if utterly relaxed Xi Yian spoke, “The photo wall wasn’t stolen by someone else, I moved it myself. No one drugged me making me sleep deeply, it was all directed by myself.”

“Since that’s the case, then why did you take us to see that wall?”

“To save myself, and frame others! Because I knew those two girls also deeply despised Su Haidong, it’s a pity… everything I meticulously planned was so effortlessly crushed by you!”

After hearing this, Chen Xiao furrowed his brows tightly, inside his mind a voice kept saying: “Is that all? Finished? Isn’t it more? Was the photo wall for framing or preservation?”
