Chapter 25: What Nonsense Are You Talking About?
“According to Skynet surveillance, the victims’ community surveillance, and the building hallway surveillance…”
“On February 18th, at 10:39 PM, the suspect left home and arrived at the victims’ home at 11:05 PM… The suspect was arrested by police around 8:35 AM on February 20th, totaling 33 hours and 56 minutes…”
“Not even 34 hours… To be precise, from the time the suspect arrived at the victims’ home to commit the crime until we arrested him, it was about 33 hours. Even if the three victims were killed instantly by the suspect…”
“Stripping the victims of their clothes takes time, bleeding them out takes time, skinning an entire human takes time, and this involves three human skins… Deboning… Nailing the skins to the wall… Nailing the organs… Grinding the bones into powder… Finally, creating the painting… With the tools at the scene, even a professional butcher couldn’t do it.”
In the conference room, Xiao Yu looked at everyone present, “33 hours, absolutely not enough!”
Not to mention skinning and dismembering.
Just the act of bleeding someone out requires a lot of time.
Human bones are very hard.
To grind someone’s bones into powder completely.
Without professional crushing tools, do you know how long it takes?
Moreover, there were three victims.
How long would it take to process these three bodies?
With just the tools at the scene, finishing in 33 hours?
What nonsense are you talking about!
However, this critical timeline,
Was overlooked by the case handlers.
No, it was overlooked by everyone!
Including Zhao Changsheng, everyone present looked uneasy.
Through Xiao Yu’s detailed analysis combined with the polygraph results.
They were now certain that the suspect was most likely innocent.
They had arrested the wrong person!
Immediately, Xiao Yu followed Zhao Changsheng.
They went to the municipal bureau.
The case was now primarily handled by the municipal bureau, with the Criminal Investigation Team assisting in the investigation.
A special task force was formed to solve this case.
Discovering such a significant clue had to be reported.
Zhao Changsheng called the municipal bureau’s leadership.
The leader instructed him to bring Xiao Yu to the municipal bureau…
Outside the municipal bureau building, Zhao Changsheng warned Xiao Yu, “When you meet the superiors, you know what to do, right?”
“Yes.” Xiao Yu nodded.
In his previous life, he had interacted with some big figures.
He remembered starting as an intern at the local police station.
Later transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team, the district team, and then the provincial headquarters.
We stopped at the provincial department… sacrificed!
Walking into the municipal bureau.
Zhao Changsheng, the team leader, instantly became a little subordinate.
When they were allowed into the municipal bureau’s large conference room.
At a glance, Xiao Yu’s mouth twitched.
The conference room was filled with over twenty police officers.
Five of them wore white shirt uniforms.
What does the white shirt represent?
Police Supervisors!
Such ranks aren’t just obtained by years of service.
Rank promotions can happen as long as no mistakes are made.
For example, from officer to sergeant, to captain, to supervisor, to chief supervisor.
Officer and sergeant levels, every three years a promotion.
Above captain, every four years a promotion.
Supervisor means promotions in both rank and position.
Some officers might end their careers as captains.
Reaching supervisor level usually requires bureau-level positions…
“Little Zhao is here?”
When Xiao Yu and Zhao Changsheng entered the conference room, one of the police supervisors in white shirts smiled and said, “Take a seat.”
“Salute!”
Xiao Yu and Zhao Changsheng first raised their hands and saluted the leaders present.
Then they took their seats, sitting upright and serious.
Xiao Yu noticed many eyes on him.
Filled with curiosity, scrutiny, and an indescribable oddity.
“Are you Xiao Yu?”
Another police supervisor spoke, staring at Xiao Yu.
“Yes!” Xiao Yu stood up, standing straight.
“Don’t be nervous.”
The police supervisor smiled, “How did you find out the timeline was wrong?”
Before Xiao Yu and Zhao Changsheng arrived.
They had analyzed the clues reported by the Criminal Investigation Team.
Indeed, the timeline didn’t match.
This was a major oversight!
Such a significant clue discovered by a trainee officer just from the case file.
Aren’t you a bunch of veteran detectives ashamed?
It felt like a slap in the face!
Everyone was curious and wanted to see this young guy.
What makes you so impressive?
“The case file was very detailed, but the person who compiled it had strong personal views, focusing heavily on evidence and the process.”
Xiao Yu maintained a serious expression, “This misleads the investigation, making the team overlook the importance of the timeline. Additionally, there’s another major doubt…”
“What doubt?” Another police supervisor asked.
“Hasn’t anyone considered what kind of psychological state it takes to commit such a perverse crime and then calmly sleep at the crime scene?”
Xiao Yu’s expression turned odd, “Why didn’t the suspect run? Why wait for us to catch him?”
Such a simple logic.
Did they not consider it, or did they deliberately ignore it?
