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

Zhao Hongzhi was well aware of Xie Xuan'an's extraordinary observation and analytical abilities. Faced with the dilemma of the police station being racking their brains to no avail on this limb mutilation case, he made a prompt decision and asked the police to bring Xie Xuan'an in.

When Xie Xuan'an was brought to the police station, Zhao Hongzhi immediately rushed over to him. His eyes were full of expectation and trust. He said anxiously, "Xie Xuan'an, this case is simply an unsolvable knot. We have racked our brains but have no clue. We can only ask you to help."

Xie Xuan'an frowned slightly, nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "Officer Zhao, I will do my best."

Zhao Hongzhi led Xie Xuan'an to the room where the body parts were stored. The surrounding police officers cast curious and expectant glances at him, as if they had caught a ray of light in the darkness.

Xie Xuan took a deep breath, put on his gloves neatly, and first examined the incision of the stump with full concentration. He narrowed his eyes, his expression focused as if he was solving an extremely complex puzzle, and slowly said: "Judging from the direction and depth of the incision, the murderer is most likely a right-handed person with considerable strength. The incision is so neat, the murder weapon must be extremely sharp, and it is very likely a professional dissection tool."

Then, he carefully observed the skin condition of the stump, touched it gently with his fingers, and said thoughtfully: "There are no obvious signs of struggle on the skin surface, which shows that the victim had either completely lost the ability to resist or was in a deep coma when he was cut."

Afterwards, he meticulously examined the remains of the limbs, his brows knitted tightly into the shape of a "川" character, and said in a deep voice: "The fracture of the bones is clean and neat, without any messy marks of multiple cuts and chop. This is enough to show that the murderer is skilled and his actions are swift and decisive."

Xie Xuan'an analyzed the case methodically while carefully recording important clues and his own speculations in his notebook. The police officers present nodded one after another, and were full of admiration for his professionalism and acumen.

Based on the analysis of the remains, Xie Xuan'an proposed the following hypothesis:

The first hypothesis is that the victim may have been killed in a medical institution by someone with profound professional medical knowledge and superb skills. The murderer was most likely an experienced doctor or related practitioner who could use professional tools so accurately and skillfully to perform the cutting.

The second hypothesis is that this may be a well-planned and well-organized crime. The murderer carefully prepared professional tools in advance and planned the crime environment and timing thoroughly to ensure that the cutting could be completed quickly and the scene could be properly handled without leaving obvious flaws.

After listening to Xie Xuan'an's hypothesis, Zhao Hongzhi looked more serious. He nodded slowly and said worriedly: "Your analysis makes sense, but where should we start the investigation next?"

Xie Xuan'an pondered for a moment and spoke clearly: "First, we should conduct a comprehensive investigation of those who have behaved abnormally or suddenly resigned from medical institutions recently. Secondly, we should conduct a comprehensive investigation of private places in the surrounding area that may be used for such crimes, such as abandoned factories and uninhabited warehouses. Also, we should pay close attention to whether there are any illegal transactions of related professional tools."

The police immediately took action according to Xie Xuan'an's instructions.

After an intense investigation, some key clues were finally found. A doctor named Lin Wei suddenly resigned shortly before the incident, and there were some suspicious points in his work records.

Xie Xuan'an and Zhao Hongzhi decided to visit Lin Wei in person. They arrived at Lin Wei's residence and knocked on the door for a long time, but the house remained silent and no one answered. Just as they were about to leave in disappointment, Xie Xuan'an's sharp eyes found some bloody gauze and a used syringe in the trash can at the door.

Zhao Hongzhi immediately became alert and prepared to apply for a search warrant without hesitation. Xie Xuan continued to observe the surroundings keenly, and suddenly he found a blurry but strangely shaped handprint on the window.

Soon, the search warrant was successfully obtained. The police quickly entered the house and found some suspected crime tools and items related to the victim.

However, Lin Wei disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. After careful consideration, Xie Xuan'an speculated that he might have fled in a hurry. The police quickly set up checkpoints at various major traffic arteries and issued an emergency arrest warrant.

Just when the case seemed to be at a stalemate, Xie Xuan'an suddenly had an idea. He remembered that Lin Wei had a close relationship with the director of a remote small clinic during his internship, and he might have gone there to hide.

The police immediately rushed to the scene and successfully arrested Lin Wei there. After a difficult interrogation, Lin Wei confessed to his crime.

The case of mutilation was finally settled, and the police praised Xie Xuan'an's outstanding performance. After further investigation, the truth gradually came to light. It turned out that the murderer of the mutilation case was Su Yi's distant cousin Li Qiang.

Li Qiang and Lin Wei are close friends.

He accidentally learned that Su Yi had a close relationship with Xie Xuan'an, and that Xie Xuan'an was involved in the investigation of the case, so he became malicious and wanted to use Su Yi to disrupt the police's attention.

He took advantage of Su Yi's inattention and secretly put the remaining limbs into the gift that Su Yi had prepared for Xie Xuan'an, in an attempt to conceal the truth.

Finally, the police successfully arrested Li Qiang through a series of meticulous investigations and relentless pursuit of clues, bringing this horrific mutilation case to a successful conclusion.

Zhao Hongzhi sat at his desk, his hands folded under his chin, his brows slightly furrowed, forming a deep ravine. Although he still had some doubts about Xie Xuan'an in his heart, he had to admit that Xie Xuan'an played a key role in the investigation of the mutilation case. He took a deep breath, as if to spit out the entanglement in his heart, picked up the phone on the table, and skillfully pressed Xie Xuan'an's number.

The moment the call was connected, Zhao Hongzhi's tone was filled with a subtle admiration and heartfelt gratitude, and he said, "Xie Xuan'an, your contribution is undoubtedly the greatest in the successful investigation of this troublesome limb mutilation case. After careful deliberation, the police station decided to award you a prize, and hereby notified you to come tomorrow."

Xie Xuan'an on the other end of the phone was slightly startled, with a flash of surprise on his face, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "Officer Zhao, solving the case is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. I just did my part."

Zhao Hongzhi listened to Xie Xuan'an's answer, nodded slightly, and said: "That being said, your analysis and judgment played a decisive role. Be sure to come on time tomorrow and don't be late."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hongzhi leaned back in his chair and looked out the window into the distance. The doubts in his heart were like a haze that had not completely dissipated. "Is Xie Xuan'an really helping me, or is there a secret behind him?" he muttered to himself. However, Xie Xuan'an's keen insight and precise reasoning in the case forced him to look at him differently. "Maybe I'm really thinking too much?" Zhao Hongzhi shook his head and decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and wait for time to give the final answer.

When Xie Xuan'an entered the police station to receive the award, Zhao Hongzhi greeted him warmly with a smile on his face and shook hands with him tightly to express his congratulations. However, Zhao Hongzhi's eyes swept over Xie Xuan'an's hands, and in an instant, his eyes slightly condensed. There was a thin and fine scratch on the back of Xie Xuan'an's right hand, and the skin around the scratch was slightly red, which was obviously a new injury. This scratch looks ordinary, but its location is just on the back of the hand near the wrist, and the shape is straight and regular. It doesn't look like an accidental abrasion or scratch, but rather a deliberate feeling.

Zhao Hongzhi's heart trembled, but he remained calm, still maintaining that seemingly sincere smile, and continued to talk with Xie Xuan'an. But his eyes would secretly glance at Xie Xuan'an from time to time, secretly paying attention to his every move, and the doubts in his heart became heavier.

When Xie Xuan'an turned around and prepared to walk to the podium, Zhao Hongzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. He found a small dark blood stain on the corner of Xie Xuan'an's clothes. The blood stain was not large, and the color had become very dark. If you don't look carefully, it is very easy to be overlooked. Zhao Hongzhi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Where did this bloodstain come from? Is there any secret connection with the mutilation case? What kind of confusing role did Xie Xuan'an play in this?" A series of questions surged in Zhao Hongzhi's mind. The slight doubt he had just put aside about Xie Xuan'an because he successfully solved the case, now spread like wild weeds, instantly occupying his entire mind and making him fall into deep thought.
