Simulated Crime, This Criminal Doesn't Seem to Be Acting-Chapter 37
The police officer looked left and right to make sure no one was around, then turned his attention to Ye Sangsang's side.
Seeing that the person supporting Ye Sangsang was also a woman, he subconsciously relaxed a bit but still advised cautiously, "Let us know if something’s off. You two girls at home, make sure to stay safe. If it’s not necessary, don’t go out."
"We know," Chen Jing replied nervously.
The police officer nodded and looked at the endearing Ye Sangsang, offering her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry; we'll catch the guy as soon as possible."
Ye Sangsang forced a smile.
Chen Jing quickly stepped forward. "If there's nothing else, we'll close the door."
The police officer hesitated for a moment.
If it were a man, he might have been more vigilant.
But Chen Jing was a woman in her thirties, claiming to be a caretaker for a blind person—which was perfectly normal. Forcing his way in would be impolite.
Chen Jing, seeing the officer lingering, already looked displeased.
Ye Sangsang felt a pain at her waist, sensing that the other person was on edge. If the police proceeded further, she might have to act.
She glanced in the direction of the talking officer, wiped the mist from her eyes, and yawned. "We won't be going out today. Thank you for your concern."
The officer, seeing her actions, realized she must be sleepy.
Realizing he had intruded, he quickly said, "Then you two go back and rest. We'll check the next house."
"Okay..." Ye Sangsang responded faintly.
The officer scratched his head. The girl was pretty, and her voice was soft and sweet.
With that, he helped them close the door.
Ye Sangsang, her eyes misty, stared blankly as the door closed in front of her, feeling a trace of helplessness.
The officer paused for a moment but didn’t think much of it and slowly closed the door.
[This scene is so intense it deserves slow motion.]
[Sang Sister, top-notch acting!]
[Sang Sister: I’d rather close the door, but I have to pretend to be reluctant.]
Only when the door was fully shut and the lock screen showed the officer had left did the three inside finally calm down.
Chen Jing, trembling and nearly collapsing, leaned against the wall. The other two took deep breaths, relieved they had avoided disaster.
Ye Sangsang stood still, as one would expect a victim threatened with her life to behave.
"You bitch! You tried to hint to the police that you were in danger!" Extreme fear often leads to an immediate rebound in emotions, and that was Chen Jing now.
Terrified and leaning against the wall, she snapped and shoved Ye Sangsang.
Ye Sangsang collapsed against the shoe cabinet in the entryway, looking weak and helpless.
Chen Jing, clutching a knife, considered attacking Ye Sangsang but hesitated and turned back venomously. "Brother Wang, continue what you were doing. Let’s see if this little bitch can still struggle."
"She needs a lesson—almost got us caught!" Zhao Changde immediately agreed.
Ye Sangsang, hugging herself, slowly shuffled toward the door, trying to escape.
Brother Wang kept his eyes on Ye Sangsang. Hearing the others agree, he smirked and rushed forward, grabbing Ye Sangsang by the waist as she reached for the door lock, dragging her off her feet and carrying her toward the room.
Ye Sangsang screamed and struggled, flailing her limbs.
"Hmph, little bitch," Chen Jing scoffed.
Zhao Changde hurried to grab a bag and peeked inside. Looking at Chen Jing, who stood with her arms crossed, smirking, he said, "Hey, do you think there’s anything valuable in the other rooms? Rich people usually have expensive clothes, jewelry, and handbags..."
Chen Jing glanced at the other rooms, thinking of the luxurious apartment. "Yeah..."
Meanwhile, Ye Sangsang was thrown onto the bed again. It seemed Brother Wang really liked the master bedroom, or maybe the bed felt more humiliating because it once belonged to Wen Yanxin's parents.
Brother Wang, seeing Ye Sangsang huddled in the corner of the bed, took out his phone, aimed it at the bed, and set it down.
"Little beauty, today you’ll get to experience Brother Wang’s skills..." He chuckled, undressing and moving toward Ye Sangsang.
Ye Sangsang shook her head frantically, scrambling back until there was nowhere left to go.
Brother Wang let out a malicious "hehe" and pounced.
"Ah!"

A shrill, desperate scream filled the room.
[Absolutely thrilling.]
[Feels so intense, though, mostly for Sang Sister.]
[Like a tough girl meeting a psycho—so intense!]
The scream was accompanied by Ye Sangsang's swift action: she grabbed a glass ashtray and smashed it on Brother Wang's head without hesitation.
A dull "thud" followed, and Brother Wang, not even having time to scream, collapsed onto Ye Sangsang.
Blood streamed from his head, staining the white bedsheet and Ye Sangsang's clothes.
Ye Sangsang, terrified, trembled as she shoved him to the side.
Her eyes wide, she covered her mouth to stifle any sound, feeling utterly helpless.
[Finish him off!]
[Sang Sister is badass!]
[Finish him, Sang Sister! Kill him!]
After three seconds, she realized what had happened, her body shaking uncontrollably.
She hugged herself, clutching the ashtray tightly.
After a while, confirming that Brother Wang was either unconscious or dead, she didn’t follow the livestream advice to finish him off but instead shuffled toward the bathroom, holding the ashtray.
[Why? Why hide? Go and fight them!]
[Sang Sister turned into a wimp?]
[Honestly, it’s not as satisfying like this.]
[Those who said that, do you really not understand Sang Sister’s intention? As a victim, she’s trying to avoid becoming a murderer.]
The viewers, seeing the long comment, seemed to understand but also didn’t quite get it.
Ye Sangsang, moving toward the master bedroom bathroom, hadn’t reached her destination when a scream erupted from another room.
"Ah! He’s dead!"
Chen Jing’s shrill voice echoed in terror.
Then came the sound of running feet, and a few seconds later, Zhao Changde said, "He’s not dead, just unconscious."
"Hurry and find Brother Wang; ask him what to do," Chen Jing immediately yelled.
Zhao Changde agreed.
The two had been in the secondary bedroom, Ye Sangsang’s room, where people usually keep their jewelry and handbags.
Inside, the dresser drawers were filled with brand-name rings, earrings, necklaces—all designer items.
Chen Jing was over the moon, excitedly stuffing the items into her bag, opening drawer after drawer.
Remembering something, she told Zhao Changde, "Check the living room; if there’s anything that looks like an antique, take it too!"
Zhao Changde grinned and nodded, turning to head to the living room.
As for the maid’s room, they decided to check it later; even small items like gold and silver could be valuable.
Zhao Changde entered the living room, noticing the broken glass door and a chair that had fallen on the balcony. He was puzzled—had something happened here?
He didn’t think much and moved to the tea table, looking at the valuable teacups and teapots.
But these items weren’t worth much to him. He needed to find expensive antiques, so his eyes scanned the glass cabinet next to the table.
Three meters tall and over three meters wide, the cabinet was filled with all sorts of valuable items.
"Damn, how rich can you get?" Zhao Changde muttered.
But this didn’t slow him down. He grabbed anything valuable, putting it in a bag he found, planning to divide it among the three of them.
Meanwhile, Chen Jing finished looting and headed to the maid’s room closest to the living room.
Seeing the man on the floor, she let out a panicked scream.
The two of them saw the man on the ground, and Zhao Changde confirmed he wasn’t dead.
The unexpected event left them silent for two seconds before they hurried to the master bedroom to find Brother Wang.
At that moment, Ye Sangsang had hidden in the bathroom, touching the glass door of the washroom, listening to the footsteps and screams outside.
[She really likes screaming.]
[What’s there to be surprised or scared of? She just got taken down. Hehe, karma’s a bitch.]
[This one’s really fragile, no backbone. Feels like their emotions are all over the place.]
The viewers in the room were mocking, knowing these three were truly vicious.
Afterwards, Zhao Changde's voice erupted outside the door as he checked Brother Wang's breathing and exclaimed loudly, "He's... dead..."
"How did you check? His pulse is still beating, he's not dead!" Chen Jing stepped forward, placing her hand on his neck and feeling the pulse. She sighed in relief, looking at Zhao Changde, then realized and said, "Wait, where's that blind woman!"
"Don't panic, she couldn't have escaped. First, let's bandage Brother Wang, or he really might die soon," Zhao Changde quickly regained his composure and directed Chen Jing.
Chen Jing was somewhat reluctant; she knew he was always bossing her around.
"Fine..." she moved her lips slightly, then grudgingly agreed.
With one emergency after another, she knew they couldn't afford to argue now. They had to deal with the immediate trouble, so she turned and immediately went to fetch the first aid kit.
The master bedroom was filled with the sound of footfalls. Chen Jing brought the first aid kit and started bandaging Brother Wang.
Zhao Changde's actions weren't out of any sense of loyalty; he just knew that if Brother Wang died in the house, both he and Chen Jing would be in deep trouble.
Regardless of the reason, they needed to get out of there together as soon as possible.
As for Ye Sangsang, he was certain she hadn't escaped because he and Chen Jing had been walking around the corridor and other rooms outside the master bedroom the entire time.
From this, he deduced that she couldn't have left the master bedroom, so there was no need to worry about her escaping. They could handle her after taking care of everything else.
Brother Wang had a gash about seven or eight centimeters long on his head, delivered with considerable force, and he was bleeding so much that his face had turned pale.
Chen Jing watched, gasping in shock, "That blind woman really went all out."
"We'll teach her a lesson later. You strip her and take photos. After Brother Wang recovers, we'll find a chance to run her over when she's out," Zhao Changde spoke with impulsive ruthlessness, but he knew they shouldn't do anything that would lead to a murder charge.
Chen Jing's eyes darted around as she wrapped the bandages and said, "Isn't there another person in the house? I think she's some kind of psycho. She'll be in trouble once we leave."
"Good, hurry up and finish. We don't have much time," Zhao Changde nodded and urged her.
Soon, the bandages were applied, and the two exchanged glances, moving toward the wardrobe and bathroom near the master bedroom door.
They made no effort to conceal their footsteps, as for them, two against one blind woman was more than enough.
As for Brother Wang, they knew he had just been ambushed by her.
Hearing the sounds, Ye Sangsang rose and shifted her position, her hand tightly clutching a glass ashtray.
The bathroom door was made of long-lasting, opaque glass, of good quality. Zhao Changde shoved it a few times but couldn't budge it.
"Wait, I'll just pick the lock!"
Seeing that it wouldn't open, Chen Jing immediately offered to pick the lock.
Hearing this, Ye Sangsang quickly moved farther away.
【Sang Sister, I think they should be the ones standing farther back.】
【Oh, here she comes.】
【The guy outside isn't dead yet, but do these two want to die?】
The live stream continued with its mocking commentary, since it wasn't their lives on the line.
Chen Jing, who was skilled enough to open safes, grabbed some tools and removed the lock in less than three minutes.
Zhao Changde entered the bathroom, saw the terrified look on Ye Sangsang's face, and immediately reached out to drag her out by the arm.
He thought he had to beat her up first, then take photos.
He easily pulled on Ye Sangsang's hair and arm, dragging her to the floor of the master bedroom.
Ye Sangsang held the ashtray and pleaded, "I didn't mean to, I wasn't trying to hurt anyone, please let me go!"
"Miss Wen, it's too late for that now," Zhao Changde yanked the ashtray away and started throwing punches.
Ye Sangsang feebly blocked a few hits, but Zhao Changde found it annoying and started tearing off her clothes.
Meanwhile, Chen Jing picked up her phone and began filming.
【Wow, here we go again.】
【Don't curse, I just want these three trash to die.】
【I feel like Sang Sister won't let them off easy, ever since Brother Wang tied her up.】
Ye Sangsang began to scream and kept backing away.
In the chaos, she smacked Zhao Changde's arm, then took the opportunity to stand up and run.
The house was over 300 square meters, with the master bedroom featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a large bathtub near the bed. The bathtub, wardrobe, and inner bathroom were interconnected, forming the master suite.
Running that way provided some maneuverability and a possible chance to escape.
Her movements were slow, stumbling and fumbling as she tried to navigate, nearly falling twice before getting up and continuing.
Zhao Changde found it surprising that despite her blindness, she had so much strength!
Ye Sangsang quickly reached the edge of the bathtub, forming a standoff with him.
Seeing this, Chen Jing put down her phone and moved to the other side to flank her.
Two against one blind woman, and soon Ye Sangsang was caught by Chen Jing's embrace. In her panic, Ye Sangsang struggled and turned on the bathtub's overhead shower, adjusting it to spray Zhao Changde.
The shower was fitted with a pressure-enhancing nozzle, and when turned on fully, the water jetted out at high speed.
Zhao Changde was caught off guard and got doused, his eyes instantly unable to open.
Turning around, Ye Sangsang aimed the shower at Chen Jing, who was holding her.
Chen Jing tried to stop her, but Ye Sangsang's strength was too much; Chen Jing couldn't hold her back and got showered full in the face.
The wooden floor soon was covered in water.
"Come on, help me hold her down!" Chen Jing felt Ye Sangsang thrashing wildly and called for Zhao Changde to come help restrain her.
But before she could finish, Zhao Changde got kicked hard by Ye Sangsang and fell to the ground.
Chen Jing wasn't prepared and was pushed back two steps by the force, almost falling herself, instinctively letting go of Ye Sangsang.
Zhao Changde, humiliated, got up and approached again.
Ye Sangsang kept retreating, her face filled with panic and fear.
The key issue was that the floor was now entirely wet.
As Zhao Changde moved closer, Ye Sangsang, barefoot and slipping on the wet surface, lost her balance and suddenly lunged forward.
"Thud"
