"If not killer's assistant, then what?"
"We call people like that 'tool persons'."
Then, there was no then. After being caught, the article was gone. Two twists in one chapter was already quite impressive. However, the author left a comment under the title.
"What did he leave?"
"There's still one chapter to be updated today."
Original text from Taduo xiaoshuo.
Hearing Fatty say this, I smiled calmly, "It seems I still have to wait for the update."
"What will he update in the next chapter?"
"The way you say that, it's as if I'm the author."
"You're not the author, but I feel you've become the 'enchantress' you've been searching for, like that woman Cao Qian, seeing through the future and advancing step by step."
Looking at Fatty's serious and earnest face, I chuckled, "Are there really 'enchantresses' in this world? Like you, I'm just guessing. As for whether it's accurate, we'll only know when the future becomes the present."
...
Da Zhou was very efficient. He quickly apprehended the person who was filming. I watched him through the one-way glass of the interrogation room. He wore glasses and looked like a refined scoundrel.
Da Zhou personally interrogated this killer. After he came out, he found me.
"Tang Nan, we've solved the case."
Looking at Da Zhou's beaming face, I smiled slightly and changed the subject, "What about Zhou Jie?"

"She's been protected."
"Oh, has she made any calls?"
"She did. She asked to report her safety to her family."
"Was she monitored?"
To my question, Da Zhou looked bewildered, "Monitor her for what? She's not a criminal."
I remained silent, exchanging a glance with Fatty. Fatty smiled, no longer worried about me. He felt everything was under my control. In reality, I was quite nervous, unsure if my guesses were correct. Lin Han was missing, and a single mistake could lead to her demise. At this moment, I was the most anxious. Perhaps because I was so tense, my adrenaline surged, and my brain worked faster.
So far, I had incredibly guessed the enemy's intentions. This level was beyond my usual capabilities.
Seeing our silence, Da Zhou's face remained cheerful. He announced loudly, "We've found Lin Han."
"How did you find her?"
"Using the method you suggested. Lin Han's phone was with the killer. After we caught him, we found the phone. The back of the case had a phone number. We called Lin Han, but she's in a state of shock and doesn't trust anyone."

"She doesn't trust the police either?"
"Yes. She demanded that only you come to save her. You know, she's very smart. She had someone impersonate her while she returned to Beijing under another identity."
I looked at Brother Fatty. He was smiling even more happily than me. Perhaps it was because my guess was correct and I had set a trap for the enemy. He was happier than me, more confident than me. The more he was like this, the greater the pressure on me.
I couldn't afford to indulge in the belief that my predicted future was absolutely correct.
"Has it been updated?"
"Still care about updates?"
"Let's take a look."
Fatty opened his phone. The first result on the page was it. He refreshed it, and indeed, there was an update. In the newly updated content, the police had successfully captured the person filming, but unfortunately, the filmer was a tool person. The killer had successfully lured the police who arrested him into a trap he had set.
"It's written up to here," Fatty said.
"Ah!" I sighed deeply.
First publication: Taduo-~xiaoshuo.
"What's wrong? Is it not right?" Fatty asked nervously.
"No, I'm just lamenting that this novel will ultimately be abandoned."
Da Zhou looked at us, puzzled, "What are you two talking about?"
I then remembered that Da Zhou knew nothing of our scheme. I quickly explained my interrogation stratagem to Da Zhou. Da Zhou's eyes lit up as he listened, "So that's how it is."
...
Zhou Jie was preparing to leave the criminal investigation team for the airport. Her expression was one of ease, truly believing everything was under her control. However, when I appeared before her, her smile froze.
"How are you here?" Zhou Jie sensed something was wrong and asked loudly.
"And where should I be?" I retorted with a smile.
"Shouldn't you be going to save Lin Han?"
"Because the phone case had a phone number? The police called that number, and Lin Han asked me to meet her alone. When Li Jiu taught the theory of 'The Schemer' at 'Logical Paradox,' he liked to use the setup of one schemer and one killer. I suspect you've followed that configuration, and the person who lured me here alone is your killer."

Zhou Jie looked at me with a solemn expression, completely confused, "How did you find me out?"
"First came speculation, then certainty."
"How did you speculate?"
"The figure of that fatty in the video is very similar to you."
"Then how did you become certain?"
I smiled slightly and didn't answer. Zhou Jie also realized, her face changing dramatically, "You and Lin Han never had any arrangement for after the incident."
"Since you've guessed it, and you likely know you can't escape, why don't you tell me why you're targeting me?"
