The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

The propellers of the police helicopter roared loudly, and the atmosphere in the cabin was tense and depressing. In the small space, the lights were dim and the indicator lights of various instruments kept flashing.

Xie Xuan'an was sitting in a seat with his hands and feet shackled. He lowered his head, and his black hair that was as long as his neck fell down, almost completely covering his eyes. He exuded an unexpected melancholy atmosphere.

His thin face was slightly pale, but his eyes were firm, revealing a calm and peacefulness, and he knew very well that he was innocent.

Zhao Hongzhi sat next to him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xie Xuan'an, look at you now, you are quite calm."

Xie Xuan'an ignored him and remained silent. He looked away and said coldly, "Officer Zhao, I have done nothing wrong, so I am naturally calm. But you seem to want to hear something special from me."

Zhao Hongzhi then teased, "I heard that you have been living a good life recently. Do you think you can get away with it forever?"

Xie Xuan'an turned around, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "How did you come to this conclusion? I am innocent, how can I get away with it?"

Zhao Hongzhi added: "Don't act sober, just talk to me. You've been hanging out here for so long, don't you have any interesting stories to tell?"

Xie Xuan'an looked out the porthole again and remained silent.

The other police officers in the cabin remained highly vigilant as the helicopter sped towards its destination.

After a few hours we successfully reached our destination.

After Xie Xuan was pushed off the plane by two tall policemen, he was taken into a police car and escorted to the police station.

In a dimly lit interrogation room, the walls were cold and monotonous. A worn-out table was placed in the middle, and some sundries were piled in the corner of the interrogation room.

Xie Xuan'an sat on the interrogation chair with his hands handcuffed, a look of stubbornness and confusion on his face.

Zhao Hongzhi, the police officer in charge of the interrogation, sat opposite with a serious expression and stared at Xie Xuan'an sharply.

Zhao Hongzhi asked first: "Xie Xuan'an, there is a person with the same name as you on the secret list we found in the cult base. Although it is possible that it is a coincidence, the current situation is very unfavorable to you. You must explain it clearly."

Xie Xuan'an defended himself by saying, "It must be a coincidence. I really didn't participate in any cult. I am innocent!"

Zhao Hongzhi immediately retorted: "Words are not enough. You have to provide evidence to prove that this cult has nothing to do with you. We will not wrongly accuse a good person, but we will not let anyone who is related to the cult go."

"I can't prove it. Anyway, I really didn't participate."

Zhao Hongzhi shook his head, looking helpless.

"Time is running out. If you can't give a reasonable explanation within 24 hours, we can only release you according to the law. But this does not mean that the matter is over. We will continue to investigate."

Xie Xuanan said anxiously: "Officer, I was really wronged. I don't know how to explain it to make you believe it."

Zhao Hongzhi took a deep breath, slowed down his tone and said: "Xie Xuan'an, you don't know how worried your brother is about you during this period of time. He can't eat or sleep well all day.

And your friends, I've seen them many times just by seeing my son staring at your pictures in his room.

You have so many friends to care about, why do you stay in the United States for so long?

And why did you suddenly go to the United States? It's hard not to suspect that you ran away because of some problem."

Xie Xuan lowered his head slightly, his expression slightly painful, and said slowly: "Officer Zhao, I went to the United States to make money. My family is running out of money, and my brother and I still have to pay for tuition.

I left in a hurry and didn’t have time to explain to my family. But I really didn’t participate in any cult!”

Zhao Hongzhi frowned. "Just to make money? You should have told your family. If you disappear suddenly like this, people will inevitably be suspicious."

Xie Xuan sighed helplessly: "I just wanted to make money as soon as possible and solve the difficulties at home as soon as possible, so I didn't think too much about it."

Zhao Hongzhi stared at Xie Xuan'an for a while and said, "Well, in order to further confirm your situation, I will find a psychologist to give you a test."

Xie Xuan nodded and said nothing more.

Zhao Hongzhi turned and left the interrogation room to arrange for a psychiatrist.

After a while, Zhao Hongzhi walked into the interrogation room with Lin Yue, an experienced and calm psychologist.

Lin Yue smiled gently, trying to ease Xie Xuan'an's nervousness, and said, "Xie Xuan'an, don't be nervous, let's chat like friends, relax."

Xie Xuanan raised his eyes to look at Lin Yue, but the tension in his body did not ease at all. He said, "How can I not be nervous? I am innocent, but I am treated as a criminal."

Lin Yue started the topic slowly: "Tell me about your family first. I heard that you went to the United States to pay for your brother's tuition. It must have been very hard."

Xie Xuan'an was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "My family is poor, and my parents can't do anything. I'm the eldest brother, so I have to find a solution."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, and then asked: "So how are your days in the United States? What kind of work do you do specifically?"

Xie Xuan'an's eyes dimmed: "I work as a butler for an American nobleman named Stentel.

He was famous, tall, blond, blue-eyed, and meticulous about life, with a quick temper that would chastise me if I simply moved a piece of furniture or a pillow.

But with my careful care and some psychological techniques, I finally got him to let down his guard and our relationship became close, like brothers."

Lin Yue changed the subject: "Then let's talk about the cult. You said you didn't participate, but your name is on the list. How do you explain this?"

Xie Xuanan became emotional: "That's a coincidence! I don't know what a cult is! I'm exhausted every day, how can I have the time and energy to participate in those!"

Lin Yue looked into his eyes and said calmly, "Don't get excited, let's talk slowly. Have you ever come into contact with any strange organizations or gatherings in the United States?"

Xie Xuanan answered firmly: "No! I live in the servants' room in the villa after work every day, and I don't deal with those messy people at all."

At this time, Lin Yue started the lie detector test. She carefully connected the lie detector sensor to Xie Xuan'an, speaking in a serious but gentle tone.

"Xie Xuan'an, you must answer the next question truthfully. Have you ever participated in any illegal organization, including cults?"

Xie Xuanan answered without hesitation: "No!"

Lin Yue continued to ask: "You said that you went to the United States just to make money and had no other purpose. Is that true?"

Xie Xuanan said loudly: "It's absolutely true! I just want to make life easier for my family."

Lin Yue stared at the data from the polygraph, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Has anyone tried to recruit you to join some suspicious organization?"

Xie Xuanan quickly replied: "Absolutely not!"

After a series of tests and inquiries, Lin Yue stood up and said to Zhao Hongzhi:

"From the current test results and communication, Xie Xuan'an did not have obvious physiological reactions of lying when answering key questions, but we cannot completely rule out that he subconsciously concealed something. Further investigation and comprehensive judgment are needed."

Zhao Hongzhi frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Take him back first and continue to dig deeper for clues."

Xie Xuan'an was taken back to the detention room by the police and the investigation of the case is still ongoing.

After Xie Xuan'an was taken back to the detention room, Zhao Hongzhi and Lin Yue once again discussed the case in depth.

Zhao Hongzhi decided to re-check all clues related to the cult's stronghold and not miss any details.

They conducted a more detailed analysis of the secret lists found in the cult's strongholds, trying to find possible connections or errors.

At the same time, in this social context with a complex public security situation, the police began to investigate Xie Xuan'an's activities in the United States, including his busy figure in the Stintels' kitchen, his tired rest in the simple rental house, and the various people he had come into contact with.

Through close cooperation with local police in the United States, a large amount of detailed information about Xie Xuan'an was obtained.

However, these preliminary findings cannot completely rule out Xie Xuan'an as a suspect.

In order to further verify the situation, the police conducted a comprehensive investigation of the interpersonal relationships around Xie Xuan'an.

They took the trouble to visit Xie Xuan'an's family and friends, contacted the American police, investigated his American colleagues, etc.

Xie Xuan'an's brother said anxiously: "Officer, my brother is really a good man. He went to the United States to earn money for my schooling. He often called home to send money. It is impossible for him to be involved in any cult."

His friends also confirmed: "Xie Xuan'an has always been very honest and hardworking, and has never behaved abnormally."

At the same time, technical personnel conducted a more in-depth digital analysis of the relevant information of the cult stronghold and found that the secret list had many signs of tampering and forgery. It was finally determined that someone had maliciously used Xie Xuan'an's name.

After a series of rigorous investigations and evidence verification, the police confirmed that Xie Xuan'an was completely innocent.

Zhao Hongzhi personally read out a statement of innocence to Xie Xuan'an and sincerely apologized to him on behalf of the police, saying: "Xie Xuan'an, I'm sorry, we didn't do our job well and you were wronged."

Xie Xuanan let out a long sigh and walked out of the police station.

The scorching sun shone on his thin face. He raised his hand and gently smoothed his wind-blown hair, muttering

"It's really hot today."

Then he took out a rubber band from his pocket and skillfully tied up his hair.

There was no longer the confusion and pain in his eyes, but instead a faint haze of regained freedom and hope for the future.

He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to breathe all the free air into his lungs, and then walked forward with firm steps, ready to embrace a new life.
