"According to the SkyNet surveillance, the victim's neighborhood cameras, and the corridor surveillance inside the building..."
"On the night of February 18th, at 10:39 PM, the suspect left his home. At 11:05 PM, he arrived at the victim's house... The suspect was arrested at around 8:35 AM on February 20th, making the total time 33 hours and 56 minutes..."
"Not even 34 hours... To be precise, from the time the suspect arrived at the victim's house to when we captured him, it was about 33 hours. Even if the three victims were killed by the suspect without moving, until death..."
"Removing the victims' clothing takes time, draining the blood takes time, peeling off a whole layer of skin takes time, and that's three skins... Skinning the body... Cutting the flesh... Pinning the human skin on the wall... Attaching the organs... Grinding the bones into powder... And finally, painting with the body... Even with the tools at the scene, even a professional butcher couldn't have done it."
In the meeting room, Tina Shen's gaze swept over the people present, "33 hours, that's definitely not enough!"
Let alone the skinning and muscle removal.
Just draining the blood alone takes considerable time.
Human bones are very hard.
To crush a person's entire skeleton into powder...
Without professional crushing tools, do you know how long that would take?
And there are three victims.
How much time does it take just to handle the bodies of these three people?
Without professional tools, and relying on just what was found at the scene—thinking you can finish it in 33 hours?
It's pure fantasy!
Yet, it was this time, this significant clue, that was overlooked.
No, it was overlooked by everyone!
Even Sam Zhao and the others had a grim look on their faces.
Through Tina Shen's thorough analysis and the results from the lie detector test, they were now convinced that the suspect was most likely innocent.
They had arrested the wrong person!
In the very first instance, Tina Shen followed Sam Zhao.
They went to the city bureau.
The case was now being handled by the city bureau, with the Criminal Investigation Unit only assisting with the investigation.
A special task force was set up to solve the case.
With such a major clue discovered, it had to be reported.
Sam Zhao made a call to the city bureau's leadership.
The leader instructed him to bring Tina Shen along...
When they arrived at the city bureau building, Sam Zhao advised Tina Shen, "When you meet the higher-ups, you don't need me to teach you how to behave, right?"
"Mm." Tina Shen nodded.
In her previous life, she had interacted with high-ranking officials before.
She remembered back then, she was an intern at a police station, later transferred to the criminal investigation unit, the task force, and then to the provincial headquarters.
Her career stopped at the provincial department... before she sacrificed herself!
As they entered the city bureau, Sam Zhao, the captain, instantly became like a junior.
When they were allowed into the city bureau's conference room, Tina Shen's lips twitched when she saw the scene.
There were more than twenty police officers in the room.
Five of them were wearing white shirts.
What did white shirts signify?
Police Supervisors!
This rank wasn't something you could just earn by spending years in the force.
The promotion of police ranks could be attained as long as you didn't make mistakes in your daily work.
For example, there's officer, sergeant, inspector, police supervisor, and chief police supervisor.
Police officers and sergeants are promoted every three years.
Above inspector, it takes four years to get promoted.
To be a police supervisor means you've been promoted both in rank and position.
Some police officers work their entire lives and only reach the first-level inspector.
To become a police supervisor, you must have held a bureau-level or division-level position first...
"Is Zhao here?"
As Tina Shen and Sam Zhao entered the conference room, one of the white-shirted police supervisors sitting at the head of the table smiled and spoke, "Please sit."
"Salute!"
Tina Shen and Sam Zhao both raised their hands and saluted the leaders present before sitting down, sitting upright.
Tina Shen could clearly feel the curious, scrutinizing, and somewhat strange gazes upon her.
"You're Tina Shen?"
Another police supervisor spoke, staring at Tina Shen.
"Yes!" Tina Shen stood up, her back straight.
"No need to be nervous."
The supervisor smiled, "How did you figure out that the time didn't match up?"
When Tina Shen and Sam Zhao arrived, they had already analyzed the clues reported by the Criminal Investigation Unit.
Yes, the time didn't match.
This was a huge oversight!
A clue this big was discovered by an intern police officer just by reading the file.
How does that make you feel, seasoned detectives?
They were all very curious, wanting to see this young woman.
What makes her so amazing?
"The case file was very detailed, but the person who made the file had a strong personal bias, focusing mainly on evidence and process," Tina Shen's expression was serious. "This caused some misleading conclusions, which made the investigators overlook the importance of time. And there's also a major question..."
"What question?" another police supervisor asked.
"Has no one thought about the psychological qualities required to commit such a perverse crime and then calmly sleep at the crime scene afterward?"
Tina Shen's expression became odd, "Why didn't the suspect run away? Why wait for us to catch him?"
It was such a simple truth.
Did you not think about it, or did you deliberately ignore it?
