Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: It’s too realistic, recommend a thorough investigation

A friend who studies forensic science?

The audience in the live broadcast room also furrowed their brows.

These short passages vividly recreated the first-person perspective of the crime scene, invoking a level of empathy that was terrifying.

With eyes closed, one could envision the vast hall where a man and a woman lay silently on the floor tile, with crimson liquid flowing profusely, a dagger still plunged into each of their chests.

The fishy smell of the clandestine affair mixed with the scent of blood, seeping through the words into the audience’s nostrils, causing their stomachs to churn.

Some viewers even hesitated to move, fearing they might step into the shattered glass of the crime scene in the novel, or stain themselves with the chilling crimson liquid.

But this was not what frightened people the most.

The key part was yet to come.

The sections about staging and cleaning the crime scene were almost suffocating.

‘I grasped the mistress’s cool hand and used her fingernails to leave scratch marks on the man, skin flakes getting wedged under her nails.’

‘Likewise, I seized the man’s hand, tearing off a few strands of the woman’s hair, clenching them in his grip.’

‘All this, to fabricate an illusion, to confuse the senses.’

‘Outside the hall, the crimson moonlight spilled over as occasional breezes blew in, emitting creepy whimpers, carrying the foul odor left by the man and the woman, filling my nostrils.’

‘I felt a chill run down my spine, as if an invisible hand was clutching my collar and throttling my throat, like the resentful spirits of the man and woman coming to claim their revenge.’

‘But I paid it no mind.’

‘Back at the real scene, I laid down a highly absorbent towel to soak up the crimson liquid on the floor, then meticulously cleaned up the glass shards.’

‘However, a spray of Luminol would immediately reveal a blue-green fluorescence here.’

‘Therefore, I needed to destroy the reaction effect of the Luminol reagent.’

‘…’

[The brother studying forensic science, come out quickly, please!]

[These techniques, they’re kind of freaking me out!]

[Why the hell didn’t I think of that method of handling it?]

[Brother above, could you kindly share your address? I have a friend at the bureau who wants to make some achievements.]

[Why are you looking for me? Look for the author of this book, you’ll catch them right away!]

[…]

Su Qianqian pursed her lips, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes filled with a hint of terror and confusion.

Accustomed to reading thrillers, she rarely displayed such an expression.

She clearly understood that thrillers are fictional!

But this one…

She dared not jump to conclusions.

What if it was real?

The evening breeze wafted gently outside the window, yet it intermittently carried a creepy rustling sound, making Su Qianqian’s spine tingle slightly. She felt as though she had returned to the age of 16, the first time she read a thriller.

“In the live broadcast room, are there any friends who study forensic science?”

Su Qianqian’s delicate voice trembled slightly.

Inside the broadcast room, there was no shortage of talent.

Indeed, a few viewers were forensic science students.

[Qianqian, I study forensic science!]

[This novel has awakened memories from my university days.]

[I’m still at university, our teacher just covered this in yesterday’s lesson.]

Su Qianqian looked at the barrage and asked, “Can the use of disinfectant really prevent detection by the Luminol reagent?”

She quickly received an affirmative response.

[Yes!]

[Luminol needs to react with the iron in hemoglobin through a hydrogen peroxide decomposition in order to detect bloodstains.]

[Disinfectant can destroy the DNA in blood, preventing a secondary reaction.]

[I also study forensic science; Mr. Lin’s techniques are very professional. If done like this in reality, it would be almost impossible to collect valid evidence at the scene.]

[Thankfully, he had blurred some of the details in it and left out several key points.]

[Why do you think he left them out, rather than just not knowing how to write them?]

[???]

Lin Chuan sat in front of his computer, his heart trembling as he read these comments. He quickly sent a barrage of messages: “These can be found online. The author probably spent a lot of effort researching; their attitude towards writing is very serious. I’m going to subscribe to the full series right now!”]

But some viewers weren’t so easily fooled.

[Who the hell looks up this stuff if they’re legit?]

[Got it, I’m calling the cops right now to check.]

[The author is too criminal, I’m going straight to check the most-wanted list.]

[…]

A bunch of lsp, their sense of justice suddenly through the roof.

Lsp are just perverts, but they can still tell right from wrong on big issues.

Fortunately, Su Qianqian unintentionally helped Lin Chuan out of the siege: “Guys, don’t jump to conclusions based on rumors. The book is titled ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’, and since it’s about a professional, it naturally includes some hardcore content. Otherwise, how could it be considered professional?”]

Lin Chuan gave her a thumbs up: “Qianqian is absolutely right!”]

Su Qianqian expertly controlled the live stream’s pace.

Her mission was to promote the book and attract traffic, not to get Mr. Lin sent to jail.

Professionalism was the selling point of this book.

Therefore, having a forensic expert explain it would be more effective.

She also believed that Sailing Novel’s rising star, ‘Mr. Lin’, was all about professional knowledge and was definitely not a criminal suspect!]

But then!

Her thoughts were soon shaken!

She saw the protagonist ‘Mr. Lin’ planning his second move.

[My second target is the head honcho of the gangs.]

[This target is tricky, not because he’s hard to knife, but because I need to figure out how to clear my name after knifing him.]

[If they know I did it, they’ll spare no expense to track me down and put me to death.]

[Although I’m not afraid, dealing with this will get in the way of taking on my next job.]

[I care about my performance as well.]

[So, I’ve devised a perfect scapegoat plan.]

[The scapegoat will be the second in command. Getting them to fight among themselves would also count as me doing a good deed.]

[…]

Su Qianqian’s beautiful oval face tensed slightly, and her brows furrowed: “A scapegoat plan, could this even be concocted and executed by a carbon-based lifeform?”]

[Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]

[The murder weapon has the second-in-command’s fingerprints on it, checkmate!]

[If I were this second-in-command, I’d be bewildered, waking up with bruises from a fight, and the DNA is that of the top dog, the guilt is set in stone!]

[If I hadn’t read this novel, the second-in-command would be solidly pinned as the murderer, even the Heavenly King couldn’t change his fate!]]

[I have a friend who knifes people all the time, can I get the author’s contact?]

[The author is too criminal!]

[Qianqian, the world is too dangerous, I suggest you live stream from my house, I can protect you.]

[@Han River Cyber Police @Liuhe Cyber Police @Handong Cyber Police @Yichang Cyber Police… Officers, Mr. Lin’s writing is too realistic, suggesting a thorough investigation.]

[Right, this is something the police should weigh in on!]

[…]

Lin Chuan saw these messages and his vision went dark.

Is this promoting the book?

This bunch of lsp’s are tagging the Cyber Police, as if they can’t wait to have me thrown into a cell!]

…

Meanwhile.

The Anling Cyber Police received a notification.
