My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"Big trouble!"

"Big trouble has happened!"

"Chen Yu! Something serious has happened!"

Early in the morning.

While Chen Yu was still in his dreams, his bedroom door was violently pushed open.

The chubby neighbor burst in, panic-stricken, hopping and scrambling, grabbing Chen Yu by the shoulder and shaking him wildly: "Someone's dead! One of our classmates is dead! Wake up! Fuck! Wake up..."

"Ugh—"

Groggily opening his eyes, Chen Yu was half asleep, half awake: "Did... did someone eat shit?"

"It's someone who's died!"

"Died?" Chen Yu instantly woke up, his pupils focused: "Who died?"

"The guy who fought with us yesterday!" The chubby neighbor, not sure if he was excited or terrified, still shook Chen Yu violently: "That four-eyed guy!"

"Stop… stop shaking... I'm getting dizzy..."

The chubby neighbor immediately let go and began pacing around: "It's terrifying, they say it was a gruesome death!"

"Who did you hear it from." Chen Yu looked serious as he picked up the jacket beside his bed and put it on: "The news?"

"The news wouldn't dare report this." The chubby neighbor took out his phone, opened WeChat, and showed the class group chat: "Look, our class advisor has announced classes are suspended today. Everyone's to stay at home."

Chen Yu took the phone, glanced at the screen, and was both shocked and filled with urgency: "...then what are we waiting for?! Let's run away fast!"

"Okay. I'll go pack up my things…" The chubby neighbor ran out of the bedroom in a flurry.

But he came back in no time: "Hey? Why do we need to run away?"

"Didn't you kill the guy?"

"I... I didn't!"

"Then how did he die." Chen Yu frowned: "...Fatty, why would you kill him?"

The chubby neighbor: "???"

"Isn't it just a small conflict between classmates? There's no need to kill someone, right?" Chen Yu's expression was grim: "Are you a psychopath?"

"When... when did I kill him?!"

"Then how did he die?"

"How would I know?!"

"You guys fought yesterday and became enemies, the whole world saw it." Chen Yu slapped the chubby neighbor on the shoulder forcefully: "Listen to me, if you don't run, turn yourself in. Maybe the whole place outside is swarming with cops."

"I didn't! I didn't kill him!"

"Where's the evidence?" Chen Yu asked.

"I... I was hosting a party all of last night!"

"Then good." Chen Yu got out of bed, stood up, and waved his hand authoritatively: "Prepare the evidence now to prove your innocence. Are there cameras in the lobby on the first floor?"

"Yes! There are cameras in the corridors of the first, second, and third floors, and all the public areas. They're all part of the manor's own system. Only the bedrooms and bathrooms don't have them."

"Get all the surveillance footage pulled up. Fast!"

"Okay!" The chubby neighbor ran out of the bedroom again, shouting as he went: "Butler? Where's the butler? Pull out all of yesterday's surveillance footage from our manor..."

The Family Head was in a panic.

So, naturally, were the servants.

Following the butler's orders, the manor's security and technical staff from the property management team all rushed into the house, chattering and flustered.

The calm of the manor's early morning was completely shattered.

Those retrieving the footage...

Those preparing breakfast...

Those cleaning and mopping the floors...

Those singing at the top of their lungs...

Those running blindly around the house...

Those packing their bags...

Those trying to allure Chen Yu...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And those hiding in the bathroom, shaking in fear...

Everyone was busy, running back and forth.

When the officers from the Supernatural Review Bureau arrived to take over the case, they saw the manor in utter chaos and really thought the "murderer," the chubby neighbor, had fled in fear of the crime...

"...What are you all doing."

With one step forward, the Inspection Team leader looked displeased: "Stay where you are, don't move!"

The butler, who was sitting in the "server room" getting the footage with the technicians, heard the commotion and immediately ran out.

Upon seeing the officers from the Inspection Bureau, his expression changed slightly.

He first bowed deeply to the Inspection Team leader, and then, looking around at everyone, bellowed: "What's all this chaos? Has the sky fallen?!"

All the maids and security guards on the first floor fell into line instantly.

In truth, they (he/she) didn't even know why they were anxious.

They just saw the chubby neighbor run up and down in horror, and involuntarily, they (he/she) started running too...

"Greetings, esteemed officials." The butler stepped forward, his attitude humble: "I am the butler of this manor."

"Where's your Family Head?" the Inspection Team Leader asked expressionlessly.

"He just went upstairs, probably to contact the guests from last night's party."

"Call him down, everyone else clear out." The Inspection Team Leader waved his hand, leading several people behind him into the living room, "And that freshman, Chen Yu, is he here too? Call him out."

"Yes."

...

A minute later.

Chen Yu and his chubby neighbor "hurried" to the villa's hall.

Facing the powerful figures of the Inspection Bureau's Transcendents, the shivering chubby neighbor blurted out first, "I didn't kill anyone!"

Chen Yu: "..."

The butler: "..."

The Inspection Team Leader: "..."

"...How do you know we are here to investigate a homicide?" A green-haired Transcendent standing behind the Inspection Team Leader frowned.

"Then...then you are here to..."

"Investigate a homicide." the green-haired Transcendent answered.

The chubby neighbor: "..."

The chubby neighbor: "I didn't kill anyone!"

"How do you know we are here to investigate a homicide?"

"Then...then you are here to..."

"Investigate a homicide."

"I didn't kill anyone!"

"How do you know..."

Chen Yu couldn't help but interrupt, "Are you two just padding out your word count?"

"It's an interrogation technique," the green-haired Transcendent flicked his bangs. "It's meant to suppress the suspect's resistance..."

"Alright, enough playing around."

The Inspection Team Leader raised his hand to interrupt, then took out a photograph from his briefcase and showed it to both Chen Yu and the chubby neighbor, "Your classmate was found dead in the bathroom last night. You should already know about this. My first question is, why was your identification information, Chen Yu, at the deceased's desk?"

"...What identification information?" Chen Yu hesitated, taking the photograph. After looking at it for a moment, he exclaimed in shock, "He...he was investigating me? He...he wanted to take revenge on me?!"

The chubby neighbor hurriedly grabbed the photograph, "Let me see too."

"Why would he want revenge against you?" The Inspection Team Leader's piercing eyes didn't blink.

"Because yesterday...we had a bit of a conflict?" Chen Yu frowned in thought, then slapped his forehead, "Oh! I get it now! Fatty, you knew he wanted to take revenge on me, so for my safety, you secretly went and killed him at midnight!"

"I...I didn't kill anyone!" the chubby neighbor immediately threw down the photograph, shouting, "I haven't killed anyone!"

"Please calm down," the Inspection Team Leader picked up the photograph. "My second question is, where were you between 10:30 and 12:00 last night?"

"I was at home! I was hosting a party at home!" the chubby neighbor spoke hastily: "Many people at the party can vouch for me! I've contacted them, they'll be here shortly."

"Aside from witness testimony, do you have any physical evidence?" The Inspection Team Leader asked again.

"Yes! We have surveillance footage!" the chubby neighbor quickly looked at the butler: "Is the footage ready?"

"My lord, it's all ready," the butler nodded, pulling out a USB drive from his pocket and respectfully handing it to the Inspection Team Leader.

The Inspection Team Leader beckoned, and the green-haired Transcendent cooperatively handed over a laptop.

Inserting the USB drive.

The video began to play.

The chubby neighbor stood in place, anxious and restless, scratching his head and fidgeting with his hands.

"Fatty, did you really not kill the guy?" Chen Yu leaned close to the chubby neighbor's ear, lowering his voice, and asked doubtfully.

"No! Definitely not! I didn't go anywhere last night!"

"But with that demeanor...even the cleaning lady thinks you did it." Chen Yu started to doubt whether last night's actions were all a dream...

"I didn't! I haven't killed anyone!"

"Well, if it wasn't you who did it, and now we have evidence, what are you so nervous about?"

"I...I don't know," the chubby neighbor scratched himself anxiously: "...I'm just scared..."

About twenty minutes later.

After watching the video, the Inspection Team Leader confirmed that the chubby neighbor truly hadn't left the party during the time of the victim's death. He pulled out the USB drive and placed it into an evidence bag.

He spoke, "We'll send the video to the tech department, and we're taking the USB drive."

"Take it, take it, no problem at all," the chubby neighbor waved his hands, "Do you want the hard drive from the server room too? You can take it all."

"That won't be necessary." The Inspection Team Leader secured the evidence bag and turned to Chen Yu, "Now, it's your turn."

"Ask away."

"In the latter half of the surveillance footage, your figure was not found," the Inspection Team Leader stared straight at Chen Yu, observing any irregularity in his pupils, "Please tell me, where were you during the time of the victim's death."

"From 10:30 to 12:00?"

"Right."

"I went out to kill someone," Chen Yu answered.

Everyone present: "!!!!!"
