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

Chapter 28: Terrible Chapter: Is your waist still hurting?

Zhao Hongzhi sat at his desk, frowning, carefully examining the evidence sent by Yi Shou. Outside the window, dark clouds were pressing down like layers of mountains, and the wind was howling, beating against the windows frantically, as if eager to break into this world. The lights in the office were dim and quiet, and the weak light struggled to shuttle between the piles of documents, casting only patches of light and shadow on the desk. The hands of the wall clock moved slowly, and every "tick-tock" sound was infinitely magnified in this silence, as if it was the heavy footsteps of time passing.

After confirming the authenticity and reliability of the evidence, Zhao Hongzhi immediately convened the members of the special case team for an emergency meeting. At the meeting, he showed everyone the evidence one by one and analyzed in detail its impact on the case.

"These new pieces of evidence have completely changed our judgment of Xie Xuan'an's suspicion." Zhao Hongzhi said solemnly, his voice echoing in the slightly empty conference room with unquestionable firmness. "From now on, we have to readjust the direction of the investigation and not miss any possible clues."

After the meeting, Zhao Hongzhi led the police officers to take prompt action. They first conducted an in-depth investigation of the technical loopholes in the surveillance system, trying to find the mastermind behind the tampering of the video time. At the same time, they re-examined people who might be related to the case, especially those who had fierce conflicts with the deceased or had sharp conflicts of interest with Xie Xuan'an.

Zhao Hongzhi personally visited the bar frequented by the witness and its surrounding areas to further verify the witness's whereabouts and state on the day of the incident. The bar was dimly lit, filled with smoke, and mixed with a strong smell of alcohol and tobacco. Zhao Hongzhi patiently communicated with the bar owner and regular customers, not missing any subtle expressions and changes in tone to ensure that the unreliability of the testimony could be fully proven.

Regarding the mysterious call, Zhao Hongzhi arranged for technicians to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the sound frequency and signal source. In the technical room, the light of the computer screen illuminated the focused faces of the technicians, who stared at the complex data and charts, trying to trace the source of the voice changer and the real origin of the call.

In addition, he also contacted the police in other areas to share information and check whether there were any cases with similar modus operandi to find possible connections and clues.

As the investigation deepened, Zhao Hongzhi discovered some subtle clues that had been overlooked before. In the deceased's communication records, there was a strange number that appeared frequently before the incident. After tracing, it was found that the user of this number had a close connection with a criminal gang.

Zhao Hongzhi immediately launched an investigation into the criminal gang and found that they had recently been active near the resort. Through interrogation of the gang members and analysis of surveillance video, the truth of the case gradually surfaced.

It turned out that the deceased accidentally got hold of important criminal evidence of this criminal gang. In order to silence them, they carefully planned this unsolved hot spring case and attempted to frame Xie Xuan'an to divert the police's attention.

Zhao Hongzhi's actions never stopped. He organized police forces to carry out a comprehensive arrest of the criminal gang and at the same time collected more evidence to ensure that the criminals were caught in one fell swoop and Xie Xuan'an was completely cleared of the injustice.

Xie Xuanan walked out of the detention center. The bright sunlight shone on his face, but it didn't bring him much warmth. He squinted his eyes subconsciously, trying to adapt to the somewhat dazzling light. When his vision finally became clear, he saw Su Yi and Yi Shou standing not far away quietly waiting for him, and his heart couldn't help but surge.

Su Yi walked up to Xie Xuanan like a cheerful little bird and gave him a big, warm hug. Her concerned and joyful eyes seemed to melt all the ice. Xie Xuanan felt the warmth of Su Yi's embrace, and the haze in his heart finally dissipated a little.

The three of them returned to their residence together, and night fell quietly. The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Su Yi was probably exhausted, and soon fell into a sweet dream. The light snoring sounded like a unique serenade in the silence.

Xie Xuan'an lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, his mind flashing through the terrible experiences of this period like a movie. From being inexplicably accused of being the murderer, to being tortured in the interrogation room, to the life-saving evidence sent by Yi Shou, all of this was like an absurd nightmare to him.

"This Yi Shou is like a ghost walking out of the dark abyss on weekdays, emitting a mysterious and cold aura." Xie Xuan'an muttered to himself, "His eyes, which are always half-closed, seem to hide countless unspeakable secrets, which makes people shudder. Why would he be kind enough to help me this time? Does he have some ulterior motive?" The more he thought about it, the more Xie Xuan'an felt like there was a lively rabbit in his heart, and he was in ups and downs.

At this moment, Xie Xuan'an inadvertently turned his head to look at Yi Shou's bed, and found that Yi Shou was still awake, wandering alone in the dark. The tall and slightly hunched figure seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and only the occasional flash of eyes revealed a chilling cold light.

"What on earth is this guy doing?" Xie Xuan'an's curiosity quickly expanded like a balloon. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to get up and ask Yi Shou.

Xie Xuan'an tiptoed to Yi Shou's bedside and asked in a low voice, "Why are you helping me?"

Yi Shou slowly stood up when he heard Xie Xuan'an's question. His tall body was like a depressing mountain in the darkness, and his shadow enveloped Xie Xuan'an. Yi Shou's thin face looked even more stern in the dim light, and his knife-like outline exuded an aura that made it difficult for people to get close to him. His eyes were deep and dark, as if he could see through Xie Xuan'an's soul.

Yi Shou came closer and closer, so close that Xie Xuan could feel the cold breath he exhaled.

"You can't get into trouble now." Yi Shou's voice was as low as thunder coming from the underworld.

Xie Xuan'an was confused by this nonsensical answer. Just as he was about to ask the truth, Yi Shou's eyes swept over him and he suddenly asked, "Does your waist still hurt?"

Xie Xuan'an was instantly like being cast into a spell, and he was completely stunned. What was going on? Why was he suddenly talking about his waist? His mind was working rapidly, trying to find some clues from this inexplicable conversation.

Xie Xuan'an and Yi Shou also froze in an instant, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

The dormitory manager's voice rang out from outside the door: "Everyone be quiet, I'm here to check the rooms!"

Su Yi, who was lying on the bed, was having a sweet dream, but was startled by the sound and woke up in a daze.

This sudden voice made Xie Xuan'an and Yi Shou's hearts tighten. They looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and tension.

Yi Shou snorted coldly, ignored Xie Xuan'an, quickly lay back on the bed, and pulled the quilt over his head.

Xie Xuan'an also quickly returned to his bed, lay down obediently, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of everyone's slightly rapid breathing.

The footsteps of the dormitory manager were getting closer and closer, and the sound of the key turning in the keyhole was particularly clear.

The dormitory manager pushed open the door, and the flashlight swept across the room. Xie Xuan'an closed his eyes tightly, praying that the dormitory manager would not notice anything unusual. He could feel the light briefly lingering on him, and his heart seemed to jump out of his throat.

Ikari lay motionless in the quilt, his breathing deliberately light, as if his entire body had merged into the darkness.

The dormitory manager walked around the room, found nothing unusual, and then quietly closed the door and left.

Hearing the footsteps of the dormitory manager fade away, Xie Xuanan let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes. He turned his head to look at Yi Shou's bed and found that Yi Shou had already opened the quilt and was sitting on the bed, staring at him gloomily.

Xie Xuan'an felt uneasy when he was stared at by this look. Just as he was about to speak, Yi Shou said first, "Go to sleep tonight and talk about it tomorrow." After that, he lay down again and turned his back.

Xie Xuan'an had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being and close his eyes. However, his mind kept thinking about Yi Shou's strange words and actions. He tossed and turned for a long time before he fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. When Xie Xuan woke up, he found that Yi Shou was no longer in bed. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and thought about how to get an answer from Yi Shou next.
