"Five years ago, our police station had a case that has yet to be solved. Just now, Captain Xu came to my office to review the case files, and we discussed it. Captain Xu had an idea..."
Before Han Fei could finish speaking, the police officers were stunned. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
As they had expected, Captain Xu indeed had a lead on the case!
Even though the officers had considered this possibility earlier, they couldn't help but feel surprised when Han Fei actually revealed it.
It's worth noting that the two unsolved cases from back then were extremely difficult to crack, with no clear leads. The officers had spent months on them but still couldn't solve them.
The high difficulty of these cases even rendered Han Fei, an experienced senior detective, helpless.
However, it wasn't due to Han Fei or the other officers' incompetence. The police aren't gods, and without any usable clues at the crime scene, there's nothing they could do.
If anything, the culprit was just too cunning!
Nevertheless, no matter how cunning the culprit was, they wouldn't outsmart Captain Xu! The officers thought so.
"Everyone should be familiar with the details of that case, so I won't go over them. If anyone is unfamiliar, you can ask the senior officers at the station later."
Han Fei then took out a photograph and continued.
"Captain Xu suspects that the culprit is hiding in this photo. Earlier, Captain Xu and I went through it and marked the more suspicious individuals, totaling six. Now, what you need to do is to investigate the identities of these six people and bring them in."
After giving the instructions, Han Fei passed the photo around.
The officers immediately got to work.
At this moment, everyone had doubts. Why would Captain Xu believe that the culprit was hiding in the photo taken at the crime scene from back then?
Some senior officers were even more puzzled. Although it's possible for a culprit to return to the scene after committing a murder, when they initially investigated the case, they didn't find anything suspicious among the onlookers beyond the police tape.
When they received the photo passed by Han Fei, they still couldn't see why the individuals marked by Han Fei and Xu Mo were suspicious.
Shortly after, the officers had managed to find the records of the six individuals not yet marked out in the photo.
"Captain Han, Captain Xu, we've found the identities of these six people. This one has a criminal record; he served time for robbery and was recently released from prison in his hometown before coming to Ram City."
Following the officer's pointing direction, Han Fei noticed that the person with a criminal record mentioned by the officer was the same man in a hat that Xu Mo had pointed out to him earlier in the office.
After taking a closer look at the man's file, Han Fei's suspicions grew stronger.
The man's name was Yu Xiaofei. His parents tragically died in a car accident, leaving him without parental guidance. Because of financial difficulties, he resorted to a life of crime at a young age. He once robbed a woman, taking her phone, a diamond ring, and some cash.
"With a criminal record, that explains a lot... No wonder he's so familiar with how the police investigate cases, and no wonder there was no trace left at the scene." Han Fei muttered to himself.
Perfect crimes almost never exist.
But there are quite a few cases that come close to perfect crimes, and those who can commit such crimes fall into two categories.
The first category consists of those with naturally high intelligence, the so-called high-IQ criminals. These individuals often make their crimes almost flawless due to their intellectual superiority.
The second category is those who have a criminal history and haven't been completely reformed by their time in prison. The reason is that prisons house all kinds of people, and during idle moments, inmates often discuss their past crimes and complain about why they got caught.
Such individuals are generally very cautious when they reoffend, trying not to leave any clues behind. After all, they've been caught before, and with the insights gained from their prison discussions, they've learned from their mistakes.
"Huh? Captain Han, what did you say?"
"Never mind. Since we've identified their identities, go ahead and arrest them." Han Fei shook his head.
As usual, Yu Xiaofei, who appeared to be the primary suspect, was arrested personally by Han Fei and Xu Mo. The rest were assigned to other officers.
After dividing the tasks, the group immediately left the police station and set off separately to make the arrests.
Han Fei and Xu Mo, relying on the address documented in Yu Xiaofei's file, arrived at a crowded inner-city village.
Houses here were numerous and intricately arranged. Even with an address, it was difficult to locate a specific residence. Moreover, the population density here was very high, with most residents coming from less affluent families.
When they arrived, they saw a frantic deliveryman.
Clearly, the complex layout of the area had made it impossible for him to deliver his order based on the address from the delivery app.
Seeing the two men enter the village, the delivery guy, like a drowning man clutching at straws, hurried over to ask for directions.
"Hey, brothers, are you residents here? Where is No. 66, Lane 431? I've been going in circles and still can't find it. I'm already five minutes late."
Lane 431, No. 66? That was the exact address of Yu Xiaofei they were looking for. Xu Mo nodded and said, "Just give it to me. I ordered it."
"Huh?" the delivery guy was still a bit confused.
"Look at the order sheet. The customer's surname is Yu, right?"
The delivery guy checked and found it to be true, so he handed over the order to Xu Mo.
At the same time, he continuously apologized, "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to be late. I just started doing deliveries, and this is my first time here. It's so confusing; I've been looking for Lane 431 for ages."
"It's fine," Xu Mo took the delivery and shook his head, indicating it wasn’t a big deal.
"Really sorry for delaying your meal. Could you not give me a bad review? Just one bad review and my whole day’s efforts are wasted."
"Don’t worry; I definitely won’t give you a bad review!"
After all, this wasn't the meal Xu Mo had ordered. Whether it was late or not had nothing to do with him, and he wouldn't give a bad review anyway, even if he wanted to.
"Thanks, brother. You’re really kind. I hope you enjoy your meal. Goodbye." And with that, the delivery guy hurried off to deliver the next order.
Xu Mo lifted the takeout in his hand and swung it in front of Han Fei.
"What a coincidence. It looks like Yu Xiaofei's home, and judging by the takeout, he's likely waiting for it. We have our excuse to knock on the door now."
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
