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

In a valley far away from the hustle and bustle, picturesque, peaceful and tranquil, lies a resort that seems like a paradise on earth.

The surrounding green mountains are layered and emerald, the green water is gurgling and clear, and the fresh and pure air seems to be able to wash away the fatigue and dust in people's hearts. It is undoubtedly a great place for people to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and seek physical and mental relaxation.

The morning sun was like a soft veil, slowly spreading on the winding paths of the resort. Xie Xuan, Xie Ran and Su Yi were strolling leisurely. The breeze was like a gentle elf, gently blowing, bringing bursts of refreshing flower and grass fragrance.

Xie Ran leaned against Xie Xuan'an, his face filled with dependence and excitement, and he vividly described the wonderful moments of rowing the day before, "Brother, do you still remember? At that time, I paddled as hard as I could, and the boat was speeding across the water like an arrow from a bow."

Su Yi smiled at the side, her eyes always following Xie Xuan'an, and she occasionally interrupted to share her feelings, "Yes, Xuan'an, riding a roller coaster is the real thrill. It feels like your heart is about to fly out."

This scene seems warm and harmonious, but in that subtle place, there is a hint of indescribable weirdness.

The night before, the watery moonlight poured down on the resort's spacious open-air restaurant. Everyone sat around the long dining table, and it should have been a pleasant dinner time.

Unexpectedly, a burly man with a red face stood up like an angry lion, staring with eyes wide open, loudly criticizing the bad food and terrible service.

"What the hell is this! Your resort is simply a scam!" His voice like a loud bell echoed in the restaurant, making the eardrums of the people around him buzz.

The girl in charge of serving the dishes turned pale with fear and explained in a trembling voice, "Sir, this is all made strictly according to the standards by the chef..."

"Standard? What a crappy standard!" The burly man slammed the table so hard that the plates on the table jumped up high. The soup in one of the plates splashed out, staining the clothes of the guest next to him.

A gentleman wearing glasses couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed his glasses and said, "How can you be so unreasonable? Can't you just talk it out nicely?"

The sturdy man turned his head and stared at him fiercely, "What does it have to do with you? Don't meddle in other people's business!"

This instantly ignited the flames of war in the restaurant, and the originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was immediately broken. Some people followed suit to accuse the strong man of being rude, while others helped him speak up. For a while, shouting and cursing continued.

A middle-aged woman in fancy clothes also joined the argument, with her hands on her hips and spit flying, "Stop arguing! This meal is really unlucky!"

"Unlucky? Who are you saying is unlucky!" Another short-haired woman also stood up angrily, her face flushed red, pointing at the aunt, her voice so sharp that it almost pierced people's eardrums.

In the chaos, no one knew who started the fight first, but as they pushed and shoved, bowls and plates fell to the ground one after another, making crisp breaking sounds, and the whole place was a mess.

Xie Xuan'an watched expressionlessly from the side, his eyes revealing an extraordinary calmness, as if this chaos was within his expectations.

However, others did not notice that his gaze lingered on the sturdy man's wrist for a moment, where there seemed to be a strange tattoo, faintly visible.

Su Yi was anxious to step forward to stop him, but was held tightly by Xie Xuan'an, "Don't go, be careful not to get hurt."

Xie Ran stayed obediently beside his brother, and was frightened by the out-of-control scene before him, his body trembling slightly.

The staff tried very hard to calm the dispute, but the crowd dispersed, cursing and complaining.

Xie Xuan'an, Xie Ran and Su Yi returned to the triple room of the hotel with heavy steps and full of fatigue.

As soon as he entered the room, Xie Xuanan casually threw his coat on the chair and said helplessly, "This meal is so annoying."

Xie Ran agreed, "Yeah, brother, I'll go get some clean clothes and prepare to take a shower." Then he opened the suitcase and started rummaging through it.

Su Yi sat on the bed, rubbed his temples, and sighed, "I also need to take a good shower to relax my tense nerves."

Xie Ran quickly took his clothes and walked into the bathroom. After a while, the sound of water splashing was heard from the bathroom.

Xie Xuan'an packed his luggage in an orderly manner and put the sundries in order, but there was a hint of contemplation in his eyes, as if he was thinking about everything that had just happened in the restaurant.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket with a string of strange numbers written on it, and then quickly hid the note.

After a while, Xie Ran came out of the shower with wet hair. As he wiped his hair, he said, "I finally feel better. Su Yi, it's your turn."

After Su Yi went in, Xie Xuan and Xie Ran sat on the bed and chatted about the bad things that happened that day.

Xie Ran said with lingering fear, "Brother, today's incident was too chaotic. I am still scared."

Xie Xuan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's all over."

After Su Yi finished showering, Xie Xuan'an took his clothes and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, the three of them lay down on the bed.

Xie Xuanan turned over and said tiredly, "Today is tough enough, let's go to sleep quickly, I don't know what tomorrow will be like."

Xie Ran responded, "Well, go to sleep, I hope I'll feel better tomorrow."

Su Yi also whispered, "Good night." The room gradually became quiet, and the three of them fell asleep in exhaustion.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and gently shone on the resort.

A dozen tourists volunteered to follow the tour guide, ready to start a new day of sightseeing. Xie Xuan, Xie Ran and Su Yi were among them.

Stepping into the woods, the ground was covered with golden fallen leaves, making a rustling sound when stepped on.

The air was filled with the unique crisp scent of autumn, mixed with the smell of trees and soil. Everyone followed the guide and looked for mushrooms with great interest.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence.

Everyone was frightened by the sudden scream and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a tourist pointing upwards in horror, his fingers trembling and his face pale.

Everyone subconsciously raised their heads, and as they did so, fear instantly ran through their bodies like an electric current.

The burly man was hanged high on a big tree, his body swaying gently in the breeze.

His eyes were bulging, his tongue was sticking out, and his face was still frozen with the expression of extreme fear he had just shown before death.

Xie Ran was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, unable to utter a word.

Su Yize covered his mouth, trying hard not to vomit, his eyes full of fear.

Xie Xuan'an was so shocked by the scene before him that his mind went blank, but he still suppressed his fear and tried to calm himself down.

However, his eyes unconsciously looked at the dead man's shoes, the soles of which seemed to be stained with some special mud.

The others were also very frightened. Some screamed and ran away, while others stood there with their legs weak and unable to move.

The forest at this moment seemed to be shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the sunlight seemed to become gloomy and cold.

The wind blew through the woods, and the leaves rustled, as if they were the plaintive cries of the dead.

The police arrived at the scene quickly and immediately launched a comprehensive and in-depth investigation into the bizarre death of the burly man.

However, due to the need for confidentiality in solving the case, the police chose to remain silent on the specific cause of death and the current progress of the investigation, and did not reveal anything to the outside world.

As the case is still shrouded in mystery, the dozen tourists, including Xie Xuan, Xie Ran and Su Yi, were asked by the police to gather in a room and temporarily restrict their freedom of movement.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, as if the air had frozen.

People were whispering to each other, their voices lowered, their eyes full of suspicion.

At this moment, a sharp and suspicious voice suddenly sounded, "This man did it!"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Xie Xuan'an like arrows.

Xie Xuan'an was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his bare arms were exposed to everyone without any cover.

There was a hideous scar on his left arm that was as winding as a snake, and there were three long, shocking scars on his right arm.

These scars were like white lightning, flashing across his fair and well-defined arms, making them particularly eye-catching.

The scar seemed to tell of past pain and suffering, forming a sharp and cruel contrast with the healthy skin around it.

Su Yi was instantly furious, his eyes widened, his cheeks flushed red, he argued loudly and firmly: "You are talking nonsense! This is the mark left by him when he was bravely injured to protect others!"

However, some people refused to give in and said sarcastically: "Look at the wound on his arm. Who knows how many more wounds he has? Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it was caused by a sharp knife. How can an ordinary normal person be safe and sound after such a brutal attack? Maybe he is doing something illegal!"

Xie Xuan'an had never paid much attention to these scars in the past. When he was with his friends, they would just glance at them lightly. Although there was a hint of pity in their eyes, they would never mention them again out of respect.

But at this moment, in this atmosphere full of suspicion and doubt, he had to face up to these scars, which were indeed too conspicuous in such a special situation and could easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Xie Ran was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and veins popped out on his forehead. He clenched his fists and shouted at the man, "Don't make false accusations! My brother is upright and honest, and he is definitely not the kind of person you maliciously speculate about!"

For a moment, the room was filled with angry quarrels and fierce accusations, and the situation became increasingly chaotic.

The police calmly observed everyone's changing expressions and violent reactions, trying to capture the key clues to solving the case from this seemingly out-of-control chaos.
