The lights on the ceiling of the theater came back on, and the people sitting below seemed to wake up from their daze.

Tiger blinked hard at his sore eyes, rubbed his trembling arms covered in goosebumps, and then let out a long breath.

I initially thought it was going to be a satisfying read, but it turned into a tragic love story. Then I thought it was a battle between good and evil with equal strength, but in the end, good triumphed over evil. But when the finale revealed the truth, I realized it was still a satisfying read after all.

Shu Yuxiu is a liar—the secretary had already warned him about it at the very beginning of the story.

"Be careful of Shu Yuxiu."

He's a liar, a liar who can manipulate everyone.

However, as the audience followed the investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation, they gradually forgot this reminder, thinking that Shu Yuxiu had been arrested and victory was assured, and then they followed the investigation team's line of thought astray.

It wasn't until long after Shu Yuxiu's "death" that they, like Officer Zhang in the movie, suddenly realized the truth.

Everyone was deceived from the very beginning!

The people they were liaising with were fake from the very beginning!

Shu Yuxiu deceived both sides, bribing his secretary to liaise with the police on Qi Baishan's behalf, and then having the secretary use his position to introduce Qi Baishan to "Officer Zhang," who was posing as an investigator. The secretary would also keep Qi Baishan informed of fabricated police "investigation findings," thus inducing Qi Baishan to lose faith in the police and ultimately drive him to extremes, deciding to seek revenge in secret and commit murder to vent his anger.

Meanwhile, Officer Zhang, the real investigator, was constantly led astray by false intelligence from his secretary. He began investigating Shu Yuxiu's past, shifting the focus from Shu Yuxiu's murder of his wife to past events, digging deeper into the murders Shu Yuxiu was suspected of committing back then. This greatly increased the time Shu Yuxiu had to transfer his current assets and prepare to flee.

The most ridiculous thing is that in the end everyone really went astray, and no one cared about the truth of the wife-killing case at the beginning anymore—clearly this case was Shu Yuxiu's biggest flaw and the beginning of Qi Baishan's suspicion of Shu Yuxiu!

No one knows whether the past that Shu Yuxiu talks about is a lie he has carefully woven all along.

What is true and what is false in what he said in the interrogation room and what the audience saw on screen?

Or perhaps it was all a deliberate illusion created by Shu Yuxiu to mislead everyone, and everything we had encountered before was just a lie told by Shu Yuxiu?

Is the truth behind Officer Zhang's speculation about Shu Yuxiu's "crime" in the interrogation room actually true?

What is the connection between Zhu Zhipeng, his parents, and the people Shu Yuxiu came into contact with back then?

After so many years of "accidents," no matter how the investigation team investigated, they could not find any evidence of Shu Yuxiu's crime. Was it because Shu Yuxiu had cleaned up the mess too thoroughly, or did it all simply not exist, and an accident is just an accident?

After watching the shockingly unexpected ending, Tiger's mental string, just like Officer Zhang's, completely snapped!

For some reason, the man's reserved and arrogant face seemed to reappear before his eyes, smiling elegantly at the camera.

"I never lie."

"It's just that you all like to believe what you want to believe."

"For example, right now, would you believe what I'm saying?"

He sat in the chair for a long time, his face even bearing the same silly grin as Officer Zhang.

No bait, no bait, those who are willing will take the bait.

What Shu Yuxiu said in the interrogation room was nothing less than a form of psychological suggestion.

Even though there was no bait on the hook, no one believed it.

After all, how could there be no bait on the fishing hook?

How could what Shu Yuxiu said be true?

How could those people's deaths be unrelated to him?

—When everyone harbors doubts about Shu Yuxiu and tries to verify those past events one by one, they are already like foolish fish that have taken the bait.

But by the time they found out, it was too late.

Only the goosebumps trembling on his body silently revealed Tiger's inner horror and the storm raging in his mind.

This ending was far more divine than he had imagined!

There's no need to explain Shu Yuxiu's final whereabouts, no need to leave the protagonist's life or death in suspense, and no need to worry about whether the "villainous protagonist's" victory will pass censorship, because on the surface, Shu Yuxiu's death is a foregone conclusion!

Even if everyone who sees the end has already guessed the final answer, it's too late to verify the truth.

In the end, all that was left for everyone was a corpse that could not speak!

Is this Shu Yuxiu's true strength?

Does Shu Yuxiu really exist?

In this story, which cases are true and which are false?
