Strictly speaking, a case at the criminal investigation unit, such as the one involving the death of a person or the discovery of a few kilograms of drugs, wouldn't usually be considered a major case.
But this time, it was truly a huge case—a shocking, earth-shattering case!
The suspects were all caught, but there was a difficult problem.
The suspect stubbornly refused to admit to the crime.
The unit reported to the division, the division reported to the municipal bureau, and the municipal bureau reported to the provincial department, requesting the deployment of... a polygraph!
Impressive, right?
Such equipment is rarely available to lower-level units, and even if they have it, it requires professionals to operate.
When a polygraph and two experts arrived to conduct the test on the suspect, the results showed a 93% probability that the suspect was telling the truth!
Everyone was stunned.
We live in an era where wrongful convictions can ruin many lives, and if mishandled, an entire police system could be brought down!
Who wouldn't be shaken when facing such a case?
The nature of the case was so severe—three lives had been lost, a whole family of three had been wiped out in a horrific way—that the provincial department urged for swift resolution.
Not just the criminal investigation unit, but the entire police system in the city mobilized.
If the case couldn't be solved within the set timeframe, there would be consequences, and the provincial department would take over.
Fortunately, Tina Shen had the luck of helping the criminal investigation unit crack a major case.
As a probationary officer, the unit had given her three days off. In light of the current situation, it would be inappropriate to even ask for time off.
Others weren't so fortunate. There were no breaks—day and night, no matter what.
The entire team worked overtime, operating in a 24-hour shift mode, determined to crack the case within the deadline.
Yes, a major case!
Three lives lost, and it began as a major series case.
Normally, such cases would require the municipal bureau to set up a special task force, or even the provincial department to take charge.
If it were more serious… it could even escalate to a national security level!
What was unfortunate was that the case had occurred in the jurisdiction of the criminal investigation unit.
If they couldn't solve it, the unit would be in big trouble...
It was indeed a major headache!
Looking at the case files in front of her, Tina Shen couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Even in her past life, she hadn't come across many major series cases.
What era was this? Not every case was such a big deal—this wasn't a movie!
She had barely started her job a week ago, and already encountered two murder cases.
What kind of luck did she have? Tina Shen just felt a headache coming on!
Flipping open the files, the first page had several large characters: A Major Family Annihilation and Dismemberment Case!
The victims were a young couple and an infant—a family of three.
The deaths were horrendous!
The skin of the family was completely peeled off and nailed to the wall.
Their flesh was entirely stripped from the bones, chopped into pieces, and their bones ground into bone powder...
You thought that was bad? No, it gets worse.
The victims' flesh and internal organs were nailed to the wall alongside the skins.
Bone powder and blood were used as paint, which was then applied to the skins, flesh, and internal organs.
In the end, it formed a gruesome, twisted flesh-and-blood painting...
At this point, Tina Shen was stunned.
She was shocked by the brutality and perversion of the murderer.
Could any normal person do something like this?
How twisted must their mind be to commit such a horrific act?
So, what was going on with the suspect that the police had apprehended?
Because this person was found unconscious at the crime scene.
He was caught red-handed, so why was he denying the crime?
First, the suspect was found at the scene of the massacre.
Secondly, the female victim was the suspect's ex-girlfriend!
It sounds like a soap opera, right?
According to the police investigation, the suspect had broken up with his ex-girlfriend two years ago. She had since gotten involved with one of his close friends.
It wasn't a direct "cheating" situation, but this kind of betrayal was hard for any man to endure.
As a result, the police suspected the suspect had a motive—revenge!
But mere suspicion wasn't enough; they needed concrete evidence.
What evidence did the police have?
The suspect had received a message from his ex-girlfriend and gone to her house at the time of the murder.
Afterward, the family of three was slaughtered and dismembered.
The police arrived at the scene, found the suspect unconscious, and captured him.
By analyzing the fingerprints, DNA, murder weapon, the message, and the suspect's motive, a complete chain of evidence was formed.
The suspect was considered a prime suspect in the murders...
Because of the case's gravity, the police had to be very careful. On top of that, the suspect was vehemently denying the crime.
So they requested the use of a polygraph.
The result, however, was clear.
The polygraph suggested that the suspect was likely telling the truth.
He claimed that after arriving at his ex-girlfriend's house, he suddenly passed out, and when he woke up, the police had arrested him...
This was a huge problem!
Putting down the files, Tina Shen narrowed her eyes.
Indeed, it was a huge problem.
If the suspect wasn't the killer, there was only one possibility.
Someone was framing him, and the real murderer was still out there, free to roam—no one even knew who they were.
But according to the police's investigation, the surveillance footage from the neighborhood and hallway showed that the family was killed during the night. Only the suspect appeared on the surveillance video.
He was seen in front of the victims' door, with no one else coming or going.
It was too bizarre...
Tina Shen was dumbfounded.
How could this be possible?!
