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

In an old and dilapidated apartment building on the edge of the city, the top floor room was swallowed by thick darkness. A mysterious man stood beside a lifeless female corpse, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of blood.

The man's face was hidden in the shadows, and his entire appearance could not be seen. Only his eyes flashed a cold light like a wolf in the darkness. He was breathing heavily, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He slowly squatted down, reached out and gently closed the dead man's terrified eyes, and murmured to himself: "Don't blame me, this is your fate." His voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from hell.

Then, he stood up and began to clean up the bloody scene. He first took out a pile of worn rags from the corner and wiped the blood splattered on the wall and floor with a slightly stiff movement. Every time he wiped, his brows were furrowed and his eyes revealed danger.

"Damn, why is there so much blood?" He cursed under his breath, but did not dare to stop his hands.

Then he went to the kitchen and picked up a sharp kitchen knife. When he returned to the body, his hand holding the knife was shaking slightly. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then chopped at the body.

The first cut caused blood to splatter all over his face. He subconsciously closed his eyes and the muscles on his face twitched. But soon, he continued to swing the kitchen knife, again and again, as if he had lost his mind.

After he finished dismembering the body, he sat down on the ground exhausted, gasping for air. After a while, he wiped his face, which was covered with blood, and forced himself to stand up, found a few large black plastic bags, and stuffed the mutilated body parts into them one by one.

During this process, his eyes were always fierce.

He lifted the heavy bags with great effort, and under the cover of night, he moved through the alleys and remote corners of the city like the Grim Reaper, discarding the sinful packages at will.

When he finally returned to the bloody room, the dawn had quietly penetrated through the cracks in the window. He looked around again, his eyes full of vigilance.

"We shouldn't be discovered, no." He muttered to himself, staggering away from this terrible place.

A few days later, an anxious-looking man named Jiang Shan came to the police station to report the case.

He said to the police officer in charge of reception with a trembling voice: "Comrade police, my girlfriend hasn't been home for many days. I can't contact her no matter what. I'm really worried that something happened to her."

The police officer in charge of reception immediately took it seriously and said, "Sir, don't worry, we will do our best to help you."

Soon, experienced police officer Zhao Hongzhi took the lead in investigating the case. He asked Jiang Shan in detail: "When was the last time your girlfriend contacted you? Did she say where she was going?"

Jiang Shan tried to recall: "About five days ago, she said she was going out to do something, but she didn't say where."

Zhao Hongzhi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's start by checking where she might be."

The police quickly organized a police force to investigate. Zhao Hongzhi led his team to the dilapidated apartment building.

Jiang Shan also came along, looking nervous and looking around.

"This place looks very gloomy." Jiang Shan couldn't help but say.

Zhao Hongzhi said seriously: "Don't make any noise and observe carefully."

After entering the room, Zhao Hongzhi said, "Xiao Wang, bring the luminol reagent and test whether there is any hidden blood stain."

Xiao Wang acted quickly and sprayed the reagent all over the room. After a while, some places that had originally seemed clean emitted a faint blue fluorescence, indicating that there had been a lot of blood.

Zhao Hongzhi frowned and said, "This is not a good sign."

Jiang Shan widened his eyes in horror: "What...what does this mean?"

Zhao Hongzhi glanced at him and said, "This is most likely the crime scene, and the amount of bleeding is so heavy, the situation is not optimistic."

Zhao Hongzhi continued to observe the surroundings and said to the team members: "Xiao Li, use the fingerprint collection powder to check if there are any suspicious fingerprints."

Xiao Li operated carefully and suddenly said, "Captain Zhao, we found a set of fingerprints here that do not belong to the victim."

Zhao Hongzhi walked closer to check, thought for a moment and said: "This fingerprint is likely left by the murderer. If we can match it, we can identify the suspect."

Jiang Shan asked anxiously: "Can you compare them?"

Zhao Hongzhi replied: "We will compare it with the database as soon as possible and hope to get results."

Then, they used ultraviolet light and found some traces of body fluids that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Zhao Hongzhi analyzed to his team members: "Judging from the distribution of these body fluid traces, there must have been a fierce fight here at the time. The victim probably resisted."

Jiang Shan's voice trembled: "Then my girlfriend..."

Zhao Hongzhi comforted him: "We cannot be sure yet, but these evidences are guiding us closer to the truth."

Zhao Hongzhi looked around the room again and said, "Everyone, look carefully to see if there are any other clues that have been missed. For example, items that the murderer may have left behind, or things that can identify the murderer."

The team members continued to search carefully, while Zhao Hongzhi kept piecing together the possible course of the case in his mind.

As the investigation deepened, all the evidence pointed to a man named Xie Xuan. Zhao Hongzhi was shocked when he learned the result.

In the interrogation room, Zhao Hongzhi stared at Xie Xuan'an with sharp eyes and said seriously: "Xie Xuan'an, the evidence found at the scene shows that you are inseparable from this case."

Xie Xuan'an seemed unusually calm. He said in an orderly manner: "Comrade police, there is a major misunderstanding here. Please listen to my explanation. First, I was attending an open class at school at the time of the incident. The school has a strict course schedule and attendance records. There were many teachers and students participating in the open class that day, and they can all confirm that I was in the classroom from beginning to end and never left. This is the course schedule and attendance sheet issued by the school, as well as written testimonies from many teachers and classmates." As he spoke, he handed over the relevant materials in a clear and orderly manner.

Zhao Hongzhi looked over the materials carefully, his expression still serious, but with a hint of thought in his eyes.

Xie Xuan'an continued, "Second, regarding the fingerprints found at the scene. I did go to that apartment building before to help a friend move things, but I was there with other friends who can testify for me. Also, judging from the distribution and shape of the fingerprints, it is clear that someone did it deliberately in an attempt to mislead the police's investigation. Because fingerprints left behind by normal activities would not be so concentrated and regular."

Zhao Hongzhi nodded slightly, as if thinking about the rationality of Xie Xuan'an's words.

Xie Xuan'an continued to analyze: "Finally, I have never met the victim before, and I have no motive for committing the crime. Instead, I accidentally learned that the reporter Jiang Shan's brother Jiang Hua had a serious financial dispute with the victim, and even had a fierce quarrel. This situation may be worth further investigation."

Zhao Hongzhi's heart moved, and his eyes became sharper: "Do you have any evidence to support what you said?"

Xie Xuanan answered calmly: "Everything I said is true, you can go and verify it."

After a series of rigorous investigations and verifications, Zhao Hongzhi found that Xie Xuan'an's explanations were all true and credible, and his alibi was irrefutable. In the end, Zhao Hongzhi had to admit that Xie Xuan'an was wrongly accused and successfully cleared him of suspicion.

However, the case reached a deadlock again. Zhao Hongzhi reorganized the clues and decided to launch a comprehensive investigation of Jiang Hua.
