"Because ......" my sister's face flashed a trace of panic, and she calmed down again,

"Because our family's bedroom is on the second floor, my mother occasionally passes by my brother's or my room in the middle of the night to see if there is any light coming from inside, and also to make sure that we don't play games.

So my brother thought, simply go to the first floor to play, anyway, my mother usually just takes a look, and she won't go downstairs to the kitchen to confirm. ”

The younger sister said smoothly and added: "This has always been a little secret between me and my brother, and only I know about the whole family, and he occasionally sneaks down in the middle of the night to play games." ”

Although there was eyewitness evidence from other witnesses, it was not as conclusive and credible as the testimony of her sister Zhou Shan, and Zhou Shan also showed evidence that she played games online with her brother that night.

The log in the game software shows that:

At two o'clock in the morning that day, the brother and sister had indeed logged in to their game accounts, and the game lasted for more than an hour.

And this hour is the time of death of the man next door calculated by the forensic doctor.

Zhou Cheng was about to clear the suspicion of the crime.

But only two days later, Zhou Shan suddenly retracted her confession!

She took the initiative to contact the policewoman who came to Zhou's house that day to investigate the case, saying that she had new clues to provide.

When the policewoman arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou Shan immediately asked:

"Auntie, can I overturn what I said earlier?"

"What part do you want to overturn?"

"It was two o'clock in the morning that day, and I said that I saw my brother playing games in my kitchen. I lied. ”

"What is the real situation?"

"The real situation is that I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, passed by my brother's room, there was a bright light in the room, I thought he was secretly playing games again, I thought he forgot our parents' request, I wanted to remind him, knock on the door, he shouldn't, I pushed it, and found that the door was unlocked, so I went straight in."

"And then, is your brother in the room?"

"He wasn't there, and I could see that the window in his room was open. In the middle of winter, I went to close the window, checked again, and called him, but no one answered. So I'm sure he wasn't home at two o'clock in the morning. Moreover, it seems to have jumped out of a window. ”

The policewoman walked to the window of Zhou Cheng's room and looked out, if she chose the right jump angle, she could just jump into the courtyard of the house next door. She turned back to Zhou Shan and asked:

"Then you found out that your brother was not in the room, have you looked for it elsewhere in your house?"

The girl nodded:

"I went to the kitchen, the bathroom, the basement, I looked for it all, no. Oh yes, I found something in my basement. ”

Zhou Shan pulled the policewoman to the basement of her house.

The basement is mostly cluttered and dusty.

But there was a cardboard box in the corner, but it was very clean, as if it had been opened recently.

Zhou Shan walked to the clean cardboard box, reached out to remove the sundries next to it, and used a knife to cut the tape stuck to the cardboard box.

"Auntie, this is what I found this morning."

In the open cardboard box, there was a pair of blood-stained pants.

Zhou Shan's pupils flashed with vengeful anger, but her tone was unusually cold and firm:

"This is the evidence of my brother's crime, ironclad evidence.

I was confused before, thinking that no matter what, he was my brother after all, and I had to save him.

But now that I understand it, I can't shield him anymore, it's not right to shield him. ”

- The above is the first three episodes of the short video series "Don't Talk to Your Neighbors" written and acted by Su Manxi.

In the first episode, Zhou Cheng's case was reported and became the target of public criticism.

In the second episode, Zhou Shan testified for the suspicious Zhou Cheng to clear his suspicions,

In the third episode, Zhou Shan reversed the situation, not only retracted his confession, but also provided his brother's most important criminal evidence.

For a while, these three short and concise suspenseful short videos caused huge heated discussions on the Internet.

Netizens originally did not pay much attention to this "murder incident in the high-end villa area", and the male owner who was killed was a person in the scientific and technological circles, who usually acted in a low-key manner, and did not have much topic and attention.

At that time, the reason why Chi Xingyu chose this case was simply that there seemed to be something hidden behind this case, although he didn't know the truth for the time being, and there was no verdict, but he could still use this incident as a blueprint to use his imagination to make a good suspense script.

The genius Su Manxi just searched for a few clues and information on the Internet, and with his excellent writing ability and imagination, he laid out the outline in one night, completed the script in three days, and started filming on the fifth day.

Su Manxi, who was in her early twenties at the time, played the 14-year-old sister Zhou Shan of the suspect Zhou Cheng in the short play, and vividly interpreted the "innocent evil" of adolescent girls.

In this way, a murder case that was not famous, a small Internet celebrity who was originally not famous, had a wonderful chemical effect and became popular together.

Chi Xingyu is also a marketing genius, and when he saw that this short drama became popular, he sent the last two episodes of the short drama for several days, which whetted the appetite of netizens, and at the same time, during the video interruption, he asked the marketing company to write copywriting, study the plot, and set off waves of discussions and conjectures.

In addition, this is a drama adapted from a real case, and the real case itself is still under investigation, which has further driven the topic.

On the eve of the verdict of the real "Villa Murder" case, "Don't Talk to Your Neighbors" also released the last two episodes.

The main content of these two episodes basically revolves around the secrets between Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shan, two siblings.

It turned out that between the two siblings of Zhou Cheng and Zhou Shan, they have always maintained an unethical and deformed relationship.

When Zhou Shan was thirteen years old, she had hazy feelings for her biological brother Zhou Cheng that she shouldn't have.

Zhou Cheng's attitude was not to accept or refuse, but the two still did not develop to a substantial step.

Thirteen-year-old Zhou Shan firmly believes that she and her brother like each other, but her brother still has a psychological barrier to the blood relationship between the two, so he refuses to accept himself completely.

She believes that she will one day be able to touch her brother, and the two can become a real couple.

A year passed like this, until my brother became a murder suspect.

At first, Zhou Shan didn't believe that her brother would go next door and kill the male host.

So, out of trust and protection, she forged the testimony that she saw her brother playing a mobile game in the kitchen at two o'clock in the morning, and also fabricated a decent game software login record.

But on the night of her perjury, her world collapsed.

After a whole day of acting in front of the investigators, she lay in her room exhausted, and did not come out for a long time, and did not eat dinner.

The parents who returned late thought that their daughter was not at home.

As soon as the two of them entered the living room, they began to yell at each other, as if they were enemies......
