It was fortunate that there were many people at the airport, so I didn’t stand out too much wearing a mask and a hat.
After smoothly passing through security, I went to the restroom to wash my face, then used the excuse of needing to go to the bathroom to slip away.
In fact, I was about to call Chen Zhiyuan.
That’s right; I was going to report Zheng Xin as the murderer of Wang Chen.
After all, Wang Chen was dead now, and I no longer needed to protect him.
Moreover, I didn’t want to stay in the capital for another moment.
So, I dialed Chen Zhiyuan’s number: “Officer Chen? It’s me.
I have a secret to tell you: Zheng Xin is the one who killed Wang Chen. He’s currently with me on our way to Kyoto,
and we will be arriving at Kyoto Airport on tonight's flight.”
After hanging up, I tossed my phone into the trash can.
As soon as we disembarked from the plane, Zheng Xin was surrounded by police at the exit.
He looked terrified: “What are you doing?! Why are you arresting me?!”
“We received a report stating that you are suspected of murdering Wang Chen. Please come with us,” the officer said while putting handcuffs on him.
Zheng Xin was panicked: “I didn’t do it! I’m being framed!”
However, no one listened to his explanation.
The crowd around quickly gathered to watch the commotion, with many people taking out their phones to take pictures.
Zheng Xin was frantic, shouting, "Get away! All of you, get away!"
I stood beside him, watching him coldly.
In fact, I had known this outcome long ago.
Yes, I was Zheng Xin's accomplice and also the one who reported him.
After all, I was now Zhou Peiyao, and there was no need for me to serve him any longer.
Moreover, I didn't want to stay in the capital for even a moment.
So I chose to report him to the police.
Although I felt a bit guilty about his arrest, there was nothing I could do.
After all, he was a murderer.
Besides, I wasn't really Zhou Peiyao.
I was just an imposter taking her place.
With that thought in mind, I shook my head and followed the police away.
As a companion and informant of Zheng Xin, I was also taken away by the police.
I followed the officers through the crowd as we made our way outside.
Along the way, many people gathered to watch us, and several even pulled out their phones to record the scene.
I let out a self-deprecating laugh.
I once thought I had changed my fate, earned the respect of others, and could walk out of the small town with my head held high.
Yet in the end, I achieved these goals in such a ridiculous manner.
How laughable.
At the police station, Zheng Xin and I were shoved forward by the officers, while onlookers paused to gawk at us.
Many of them took out their phones to capture the moment.
I wished I could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Although my hat and mask concealed most of the prying eyes, preventing me from feeling too embarrassed, I still ended up being recognized by the public in this way.
And this was how it all concluded for me.
I was sent back to Du Cheng County Police Station.
Facing the familiar interrogation room and the familiar person again, I could only feel a wave of helplessness.
“Officer Chen, nice to see you again,” I attempted to greet him in a light-hearted tone.
However, Chen Zhiyuan did not respond.
He sat at the table in the interrogation room, his gaze fixed directly on me. “Let’s talk. What exactly happened?”
I sighed. “Actually, Zheng Xin is my boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend?” Chen Zhiyuan paused for a moment. “Then why did you report him?”
I forced a bitter smile. “Because he killed someone. I can’t cover for him.”
Chen Zhiyuan nodded. “Then tell me how he did it.”
I took a deep breath. “Actually, both Zheng Xin and I are friends with Zhou Peiyao. We often hang out together.
One day, we were drinking at a bar, and after having too much to drink, Zheng Xin said he wanted to give Zhou Peiyao a surprise by taking her home.
I thought he was just joking, but to my surprise, he really went through with it.”
