At the victim's home.
"The clues are cut off."
Tina Shen stared at the "flesh and blood painting" on the wall, her expression calm. "He's very smart, should have planned this for a long time. Even how he entered the victim's house and cleaned up afterward was flawless. He considered every detail. Trying to find more clues at the scene is going to be extremely difficult."
The task force members quietly watched Tina Shen, their expressions serious.
Although they had only met Tina Shen today, this rookie officer gave them one impression—impressive!
Her investigative ability was strong, her thinking boundless and extraordinary.
Thus, as the task force leader, Eric Niu took the opportunity to pull up Tina Shen's file on his phone.
He was shocked when he saw it.
It turned out that she had been outstanding at the police academy, a prodigy among geniuses, the top of the top.
After Eric Niu shared this information with the team, everyone was immediately enlightened.
A police academy genius?
No wonder!
Eric Niu made a decision: Tina Shen would temporarily take charge of the case, with everyone cooperating.
Was there any problem with this?
Of course not.
They had spent two days searching without finding any clues.
Tina Shen arrived, and within half an hour, she found a major lead.
Although the lead had been cut off, her abilities alone surpassed the combined efforts of everyone else.
This is how it works in the police force.
When it comes to solving cases, age, rank, and title all take a backseat.
Whoever has the skills leads, and those who don't follow orders. It's very practical.
If the case is solved, everyone benefits.
If it's not, everyone suffers. No one can escape.
"To solve a case, you need to find clues, pay attention to details, and make bold guesses."
Tina Shen shifted her gaze from the "flesh and blood painting" on the wall to the team members. "But that doesn't necessarily mean it's the truth. We still need to verify it."
Everyone nodded. As seasoned criminal investigators, they all understood this principle.
"Since the clues are cut off, let's look elsewhere."
Tina Shen narrowed her eyes. "Let's start by interrogating the suspect!"
Why interrogate the suspect?
The killer did all this, yet left the suspect to take the fall as a scapegoat.
Who would intentionally frame someone else without reason?
Was it a personal grudge? Revenge? Or some other motive?
Tina Shen didn't think it was any of these things.
The falsely accused suspect was unlikely to have any useful clues.
If there was bad blood between him and the killer, and the killer wanted revenge, then why go through all this trouble?
Why not just take action directly?
Interrogating him was the only option now, even if it was just a small chance, it couldn't be overlooked.
The team members returned to base to wait, while Tina Shen and Eric Niu headed straight to the detention center...
After the interrogation procedure.
In the interrogation room at the detention center, Tina Shen met the suspect for this case.
The suspect was of average build and appearance, barely looking like a young man.
Wearing a detention center vest, he had a face full of exhaustion, despair, and anger.
He was Tom He, 29 years old, from the city, an employee at a private company...
If they already suspected he might be innocent, why not release him?
Because they had to follow procedure.
Firstly, his suspicion was strong. He was found asleep at the scene during the crime, and all the clues and evidence pointed to him.
With just these facts, he couldn't be released.
If he was wronged, it was okay. He could apply for state compensation, and the police system would restore his reputation.
Was he unlucky?
He definitely was, but there was nothing to be done. He had gotten involved in this case.
In the past, if the case was handled carelessly, he might have been sent to the firing squad...
"I'm innocent!"
Facing the two police officers, Tom He stared with bloodshot eyes and shouted angrily.
"Mm, I know."
Tina Shen remained calm and nodded.
"Uh..."
Tom He was stunned by Tina Shen's words.
After a moment, he became excited, thinking: Could it be that the police have found the real killer?
But the police in front of him stopped speaking again.
Tom He became anxious.
Why are you speaking halfway? Why are you doing this?
Tina Shen remained silent because she was observing Tom He.
By watching Tom He's expressions and subtle body language, many truths could be hidden within them.
A person's expressions often stem from their psychology.
For example, true surprise lasts no more than a second. If a person's eyes look downward, it means they are recalling something. If they look upward, they are likely making up a story. If their eyes flicker unconsciously, they are either lying or anxious.
A person blinks on average five to eight times per minute. If the frequency is too high, it indicates inner instability.
When lying, a person's heart rate usually speeds up, their face flushes, and sometimes their nose itches, prompting them to touch it.
When someone is truly angry, their facial expressions and language align.
If their expression doesn't match their words, they are acting...
These techniques were taught by specialized instructors in the police academy, a discipline known as micro-expression psychology.
Police officers are sharp because they understand how to read these micro-expressions.
After observing for two minutes, Tina Shen was already certain.
The man in front of her, Tom He, was indeed an unlucky soul, wrongfully accused.
But Tina Shen noticed something unusual.
His hands remained completely steady.
Whether he was agitated, angry, or desperate, his hands didn't show any sign of movement.
This was very abnormal.
Normally, when a person's emotions are out of control, their body instinctively reacts, making unconscious gestures that reflect their feelings.
For example, someone might clench their fists when angry, rub their hands when excited, or even wave their hands when happy...
But Tom He had no such body movements.
Something didn't seem right!
