"Wang Naixin."
"Hey."
She turned back in response, just in time to collide with the electric baton I had extended.
"You..." Her lips trembled, her face filled with shock.
I blinked innocently, "Sorry, it was a reflex."
Wang Naixin's face turned pale as she slumped weakly into her seat.
"You look surprised," I said with a smile. "Are you wondering why it's not me who passed out?"
Wang Naixin bit her lip and glared at me fiercely, as if she wanted to skin me alive.
I chuckled, "The friend you mentioned earlier is actually you, isn't it?"
"That lipstick was stuffed into my husband's pocket by you."
"You knew I would find that lipstick and that I would suspect you first, and you had already prepared a set of excuses for me."
"You said, 'If you ask directly, you might get deceived,' which was actually your way of hinting that I shouldn't ask you directly because you would lie to me."
"You and my husband forged the itinerary, faked the insurance documents, and fabricated the whereabouts of both of you."
"To lure me in, you deliberately let me see the dashcam footage, intentionally made me hear those terrifying sounds, and led me to this remote wilderness."
"You've laid too many traps for today's plan. You deceived me, used me, and made me fall into the trap you set."
"You pretended to be tied up by me, pretended to be knocked out by me, but in reality, you just wanted to play along with me in this act."
"Wang Naixin," I sighed, "you are too smart, so smart that you don't even care about your own life."
"But you shouldn't treat me like a fool."
Wang Naixin gasped for breath, struggling desperately to break free from her restraints.
But she couldn't escape at all.
At that moment, footsteps approached from a distance.
Wang Naixin seemed to awaken from a dream and realized something.
"Xiao Wu Jing, it's the police. You can hand me over to the police..." She forced a bitter smile. "I'm done for, but you can still live."
I shook my head.
"Wang Naixin, you are truly too clever, clever enough to think you can control everything."
"But have you forgotten? Officer Ma has already come looking for me."
"If that police officer outside is really Officer Ma, then he must know me."
"Officer Ma is outside; so who is this person beside me?"
Wang Naixin's face turned pale, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
"The Officer Ma I know is a young and promising officer, while the Officer Ma you know is your Fat Junior, right?"
Wang Naixin's pupils trembled slightly.
"You never intended to let me live from the start. The things you said were just to keep me calm because you needed time, waiting for your Fat Junior to arrive."
"Unfortunately," I sighed, "he's a bit late."
Wang Naixin trembled all over, her eyes filled with despair.
Outside the car, Officer Ma was anxiously knocking on the window, signaling me to open the door.
Wang Naixin looked desperately at Officer Ma outside, the light in her eyes gradually fading.
"Wang Naixin, thank you for helping me cash in my husband's insurance. With this money, I can just fill the financial gap in the company."
Wang Naixin struggled desperately in the car, signaling Fat Junior with her eyes to escape quickly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Fat Junior chose to stay.
He slowly walked towards me, each step heavy and resolute.
I turned on the music inside the car to drown out the noise outside.
A few minutes later, the real police arrived.
Fat Junior was arrested.
Wang Naixin remained seated in the car, her face pale and her eyes vacant.
I turned on the overhead light and adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror.
Wang Naixin slightly raised her head, and we were very close to each other.
She remained motionless, like a doll that could be manipulated at will.
I applied lipstick.
In the mirror, we looked like a pair of inseparable sisters.
"When did you find out?" Wang Naixin asked softly.
"Yesterday," I replied with a smile.
"It seems I underestimated you."
"No, you overestimated yourself."
"Alright then," Wang Naixin said with a bitter smile, "I admit defeat."
"Can you tell me?" I asked, "How did you make your move?"
Wang Naixin fell into her memories.
"The first time I saw you, I knew your husband liked me."
"At that time, I had a crush on him, and he had feelings for me too. If it weren't for you, we would have been together long ago."
"Before graduation in our senior year, your husband confessed to me. He said he liked me and wanted to be with me."
"But by then, you were already with your husband."
"I know."
"So, I rejected him. I said, 'What I love is the stage, not marriage.'"
"But he still married you."
"Yes, because he owed you."
"Since then, I've particularly hated you. You have everything I want without doing anything."
"So, you planned all of this?"
"Yes, I accidentally found out that your company's finances were in trouble. Your husband bought an Accident Insurance policy to manage cash flow."
"So, you forged two itineraries and two insurance policies?"
"Yes."
"When did you start planning this?"
"Two months ago."
"When did you take action?"
"On October 25th."
"The dashcam footage from that day, the video segment at the back was edited by you?"
"Yes."
"What about the video from earlier? Why did my husband go to the company?"
Wang Naixin smiled slightly, "Do you really want to know?"
"Of course."
"Then you'd better ask him yourself."
I chuckled, "I will ask."
Wang Naixin also smiled, "Just not right now."
Wang Naixin was arrested.
In fact, I had started to suspect Wang Naixin a long time ago.
It began when Officer Ma told me that Wu Jing was single and had no boyfriend.
It continued when Wang Naixin mentioned that Officer Ma had contacted her.
And it was confirmed by the itinerary she showed me.
The itinerary clearly stated: October 25th, 8 PM, Daluoling Scenic Area.
However, on October 25th at 8 PM, my husband was clearly at home.
Was he handling company matters?
Of course not.
He went to deal with Wang Naixin's matters.
Wang Naixin lured Wu Jing to Daluoling Scenic Area, killed her, and buried her body in the land of the scenic area.
Afterward, she and her husband staged the scene, forged the itinerary, and created a fake insurance policy.
She combined her own itinerary with her husband's to make the police believe that he had been at the company and was with her.
She calculated everything but underestimated human emotions.
Wang Naixin is an excellent schemer, but she underestimated my husband's love for her.
My husband couldn't bear to see Wang Naixin go to prison, so he took all the blame upon himself.
He thought that by bearing everything, Wang Naixin would escape punishment.
He thought that if he disappeared, I would enjoy the wealth from the huge compensation alone.
He thought...
He was wrong.
