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

Everything is under intense and depressing investigation, and every corner of the school is filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness and anxiety. Xie Xuan'an, Yi Shou and the police are all doing their best to pursue the truth of the case, but the fog hanging over their heads seems to be getting thicker.

Ikari is still immersed in the investigation of the case like a ghost. His crazy excitement is no longer as obvious as before, but has turned into a deeper and gloomy persistence. His eyes often reveal a chilling sharpness, as if they can penetrate all disguises and lies. Behind those eyes is his deep desire for the truth, and a complex emotion of inexplicable excitement and fanaticism.

One day, Ikari was resting in a dark and quiet coffee shop near the school. He sat in a corner, shrouded in shadows, with a gloomy and solemn expression. A whisper from the next table inadvertently reached his ears.

"Have you heard? Teacher Wang Qiang's family has been in unrest recently." A woman said in a low voice with a mysterious expression on her face. Her eyes were flashing with gossip, and she seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of spreading this secret.

"What's going on?" another person asked anxiously, leaning forward unconsciously, his face full of curiosity and impatience.

The woman looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention before she spoke cautiously, "It seems that his wife was having a big fight with him, saying that she had discovered some unspeakable secret." Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, as if she was worried that someone would find out that she was talking about such a sensitive topic.

Ikari's eyes, which had been drooping, suddenly lifted up, and a cold light flashed in them. He tilted his ears slightly, trying to hear more details, but the two people seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and quickly ended the topic and hurriedly got up and left the coffee shop.

Yi Shou immediately told Xie Xuan and the police about this unexpected discovery, and the police immediately launched a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Wang Qiang's wife Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao, a seemingly ordinary housewife, rarely shows up at school and has almost no interactions with people in the school. However, as the police conducted a detailed investigation into her social relationships, financial status, and recent activities, a series of puzzling doubts gradually emerged. During the critical period before and after the incident, Lin Xiao's whereabouts became extremely suspicious. She appeared near the school on the day of the incident, but she could not give a convincing alibi for her whereabouts during that period. Not only that, the police also discovered that Lin Xiao had frequent and secret contacts with a mysterious man. After a difficult tracking and investigation, it was finally found out that the man was Lin Xiao's first love. After the two broke up many years ago, they should have forgotten each other, but they have always maintained secret contact. The exposure of this relationship makes the case even more confusing.

Xie Xuan'an and Yi Shou did not slack off at all. They ran around the school, trying to piece together the true situation of Wang Qiang and his wife from the mouths of teachers and students. From the recollections of some teachers, it was learned that Wang Qiang was fully committed to his work, and his busy teaching tasks made him have little time to accompany his family. Lin Xiao had long been dissatisfied with this, and quarrels at home were often heard. Students also reported that they had seen Wang Qiang and Lin Xiao having a fierce dispute at the school gate.

"Could it be that the long-term unhappiness in marriage has gradually distorted Lin Xiao's psychology and eventually led him to this extreme path?" Xie Xuan'an frowned, his heart full of doubts and worries, his eyes revealing his thoughts on human nature and confusion about the truth.

The corners of Yikari's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile. There was no emotion in his eyes. He said coldly: "Now it seems that she is indeed the most suspicious." His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the abyss of darkness. There was a certainty in his tone, but it made people feel a little too anxious.

The police decided to interrogate Lin Xiao. In the small and cold interrogation room, Lin Xiao was extremely calm at first. Her eyes were cold and firm, and she firmly denied any involvement in the case. However, her heart was far from being as calm as it seemed. Fear and anxiety quietly spread in her heart.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything." Lin Xiao's voice trembled slightly, her eyes still showing a hint of stubbornness and determination, but her clenched hands betrayed her nervousness.

However, when the police presented a series of hard evidence one by one, her psychological defenses began to collapse like a bursting dam. The inner struggle and fear finally made her unable to bear it any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"It was me, I killed that man! But he forced me to do it!" Lin Xiao suddenly burst into tears hysterically, "But he forced me to do it!" Her hair was disheveled and her face was distorted, as if she was in extreme pain and despair. At this moment, her heart was filled with regret and self-blame, but also with anger at the injustice of fate.

It turned out that Lin Xiao's first love had recently failed in business and owed a huge debt. With nowhere else to go, he found Lin Xiao and begged her to help raise funds. Lin Xiao had no choice but to pin her hopes on her husband Wang Qiang. However, Wang Qiang firmly rejected her request, and the two had a fierce quarrel. At the moment when her emotions were completely out of control, Lin Xiao lost her mind and made an irreparable sin. She decided to kill one of Wang Qiang's colleagues in an attempt to threaten Wang Qiang and get money to save her first love.

The truth of the case seemed to have been revealed, but Xie Xuan'an always felt that something was wrong.

"Yi Shou, don't you think this is going too smoothly?" Xie Xuan'an frowned, his eyes full of doubt. He felt in his heart that things were not that simple.

Yisho had a blank expression on his face and his eyes were as cold as ice. He said lightly: "It is indeed a bit strange, but Lin Xiao has already pleaded guilty. What are you still doubting?" There was a hint of impatience and disdain in his voice, but his eyes inadvertently flashed a trace of imperceptible panic.

Xie Xuanan decided to carefully sort out every clue of the case again. He found that although Lin Xiao admitted to the crime of murder, her description of some key details was vague and inconsistent. Moreover, some evidence at the scene was obviously inconsistent with her confession.

At the same time, the police made a surprising discovery during their further investigation of Lin Xiao. It turned out that Lin Xiao's mental state had been unstable and she had long relied on antidepressants to maintain a normal life. Moreover, before the incident, she had experienced a serious mental breakdown.

"Could it be that Lin Xiao committed this crime while in a state of mental disorder?" Xie Xuan'an raised a new question. His eyes were full of a persistent pursuit of the truth, and his inner uneasiness became more and more intense.

Ikari was silent for a moment, then said gloomily: "If that's the case, then this case becomes more complicated and difficult." There was a hint of worry in his voice, but he seemed to be hiding something.

In order to find out the truth, Xie Xuan'an and Yi Shou decided to investigate further. They went to the psychological clinic where Lin Xiao often visited and learned more about the severity of Lin Xiao's illness and her abnormal behavior in the past from the doctor. Lin Xiao's medical records showed that she had shown many dangerous signs of suicidal and violent tendencies.

"Could it be that someone took advantage of her illness to carefully plan this case?" There was a glimmer of cunning and suspicion in Ikari's eyes, and he seemed to have some guess in his mind.

Xie Xuan'an's eyes became extremely firm, "No matter what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind, we must find out the real mastermind and give everyone justice." His tone was firm, full of determination and courage.

In the subsequent investigation, they found that Lin Xiao had received an anonymous letter before the incident. The content of the letter was full of inducement and incitement, which seemed to push her into the abyss of crime step by step.

Content of the anonymous letter:

Dear Lin Xiao:

In this cold and dark world, no one can understand your pain. Wang Qiang, that ruthless man, has broken your heart.

However, fate has given you a chance to turn things around. Wang Qiang's colleague, that abominable existence, is the source of your misfortune. Kill him in the most cruel way possible, and let the blood stain the night red.

When his life fades away, Wang Qiang will tremble in fear and beg for your forgiveness in despair. You will be the master and control everything.

Don't be afraid of the smell of blood, don't be afraid of the shadow of death. Darkness will protect you and cover your crimes. No one can uncover the veil of sin.

Go ahead, Lin Xiao. Let the music of death play and the rage of revenge burn. This is your only way to escape from the abyss of pain and the bloody key to your new life.

——A guide waiting in the darkness
