On the live stream, I committed the perfect crime

By this time, things in the Hidden Cloud Village had returned to normal. Aside from Fang Xiang and Chen Hai, who were still busy investigating, everyone else had resumed their daily routines.

However, unlike when they first arrived at Kumogakure, the entire village was now shrouded in a haze and heaviness. It was clear that the series of murders had cast an indelible shadow on everyone's hearts.

Time is like quicksand on our fingertips, slipping away without us noticing. Especially when we are caught up in our busy lives, we are completely unaware of its quiet departure.

Just like Fang Xiang and Chen Hai, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the reasoning and argumentation of the case, as if they were in a world with only clues and the truth.

Even as the deadline for this episode approaches, the two of them continue to work diligently, focusing on their tasks, as if the outside world has nothing to do with them.

It was not until the host Ye Zi announced the end of the program that Fang Xiang and Chen Hai seemed to wake up from a long dream, with a faint smile on their faces.

They walked slowly and steadily to Lin Feng's side and said sincerely, "Congratulations, you won again this time."

Lin Feng was stunned. He stared at the two people in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief. His mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say anything for a long time, as if he was shocked by these sudden words.

The reactions of those netizens who were watching the live broadcast were not much better.

They all opened their mouths in astonishment, and a shocking scene appeared on the screen.

After a long while, comments filled with shock flooded in like a tide: "No way, they've already guessed that Lin Feng is the mastermind?"

"What's so strange about this? Before this episode even started, I knew that Lin Feng was either the one who solved the case or the one who committed it."

"Apart from Lin Feng, who else could have handled the case so perfectly?"

"Whether it's to be said or not, Lin Feng is Lin Feng. From his modus operandi to blaming others, and even concocting a story about his uncle committing murder to confuse the public, he's simply too good to be true!"

"Wait, I understand you want to put the blame on Zhou Shuai. But how could he have arranged the murder of Fourth Uncle?"

"Hey, what do you think? If Huang Xu wasn't useful to him, why don't you think he killed Fourth Uncle as well on the night he killed Third and Sixth Uncles?"

"Although what you said makes sense, I still don't understand how he did all this."

"Haha, you think too highly of me. If I could guess all this, wouldn't I be Lin Feng?"

"Oh shit, what should I do? Am I going to have insomnia again tonight?"

"Hey, this problem is easy to solve. Just post a few more comments later, and then ask Ye Zi to interview Lin Feng for you, and everything will be clear, right?"

Just as the comments in the live broadcast room said, this episode has accumulated extremely high popularity.

Those confused netizens started sending barrages of comments frantically as soon as the interview began.

For a moment, the barrage of comments rolled like surging waves, and the entire program team's server was overwhelmed and collapsed instantly.

In desperation, Zhang Dachui could only scramble to arrange manpower and activate all the backup servers. After some intense debugging, he was able to barely restore the normal live broadcast of the entire program.

At this moment, the close-up shot in the live broadcast room was firmly given to Lin Feng.

The host Ye Zi stared at the madly scrolling comments while carefully selecting questions.

Then, she raised her lips and asked with a smile, "Teacher Lin Feng, on the first day of this program, you went to the mountains to dig graves. Was this a deliberate act or a prank? And... why did you burn down the wooden house you lived in with your mother?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, a confident smile spreading across his face as he slowly said, "Ms. Ye, you really think too highly of me. If I didn't have a special purpose, why would I go to such great lengths to dig a grave, especially in the middle of the night? The environment is terrifying enough to scare anyone to death."

When Ye Zi heard this, she was stunned, her eyes full of curiosity. She quickly asked, "Then why is this happening?"

"The reason I burned down the cabin on the top of the mountain was because I didn't want to leave any traces."

A subtle hint of caution flashed across Lin Feng's eyes.

"Why? It's just a wooden house, how could there be any clues left?"

Ye Zi continued to ask, her face full of confusion.

Lin Feng smiled, cleared his throat, and continued, "I've been into that wooden house many times before. I wonder if you've observed it carefully. Although the furnishings inside those wooden houses seem sloppily arranged, they contain some valuable items. For example, there's a rosewood jewelry box filled with pure gold ornaments, some of which are priceless and absolutely impossible for ordinary people to own. But there's only one thing missing from this room: a mirror."

Lin Feng paused here deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite.

"If the investigators were smart enough to find this, they would easily discover the clue. As the saying goes, everyone loves beauty. No matter how ugly a girl is, she desires beauty and has a mirror at home. But there is only one exception..."

Before Lin Feng finished speaking, the host, Ye Zi, became anxious. She even clasped her hands together and made a desperate pleading gesture, saying, "Teacher Lin Feng, please, can you please stop keeping us in suspense?"

"That is, the mistress of this family has been disfigured. But why she was disfigured, I believe everyone should have already understood from the background of the previous story."

As Lin Feng spoke, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, as if recalling a painful past. "If the investigators were sharp enough, they could have guessed that this person living in hiding in the mountains was one of the family members who were burned to death that year. If you look back at the previous live broadcast clips now, you will definitely find that the decoration of my home was extremely luxurious in the beginning, and even an entire wall was covered with precious calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

However, I later replaced these with Buddhist scriptures because I didn't want people to know that my father was once a highly skilled tomb robber. I also didn't want people to guess that he could successfully dig a passage to the burning kiln and rescue my biological mother. Of course, there is one more important point -

My character design already states that I was frail and sickly as a child, and my father took me out to seek medical treatment many times. Remember, my brothers had come to the Hidden Cloud Village to escape disaster, so they certainly wouldn't have dared seek treatment from a renowned physician. If that were the case, how could I, a young and sickly child, have recovered and even developed impressive martial arts skills? Isn't that a joke?

Therefore, if the investigators were clever enough, they would easily figure out that I wasn't actually Lao Qi's real son, but his illegitimate child with the woman who escaped from the ruined kiln in the mountains."
