Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Three Murders!

Anling Police Station, Cyber Security Detachment.

Inside the cyber security room, various regulation boards were hung on the wall, and in the center was the workstation of the cyber police.

Cyber Police Xia Qingqing tied her hair in a ponytail, wore a blue police uniform, and stared at the densely packed information on the computer screen. Her slender fingers danced across the keyboard, pressing the enter key from time to time, handling various matters.

The evening breeze brushed her face, causing her eyes to feel somewhat dry.

Xia Qingqing rubbed her eyes and applied a few drops of eye drops, thinking of taking a break with a sip of tea.

‘Attention, Anling Cyber Security Detachment, please take note of book promotion on the Kuaidou platform in room 0613, with words like ‘murder,’ ‘crime,’ ‘blood’ appearing multiple times. Several viewers have @Cyber Police, suspecting the propagation of illegal and criminal activities, please verify.’

‘Attached is the room’s link: https://live.kuaidou.com/0613.’

‘Source: Han River Cyberspace Surveillance Brigade.’

A notification like this popped up on Xia Qingqing’s computer.

“Received.”

Xia Qingqing quickly took a sip of tea and then clicked on the link to enter room 0613.

Room 0613 was precisely Su Qianqian’s live broadcast room.

“Promoting a novel, it shouldn’t be an illegal activity.”

Xia Qingqing muttered to herself, but she didn’t dare to ignore the notification from the Han River Cyberspace Surveillance Brigade.

So.

She opened the admin panel and expertly entered a string of codes. Su Qianqian’s live replay, bullet comments, and viewer data were all laid bare.

On another split screen.

She also searched for the novel that Su Qianqian was promoting live, as well as related information.

This Assassin Is Too Professional, published by Sailing Novel, author’s pen name: Mr. Lin, real name: Lin Chuan, residence: Anling City.

Having been a cyber police for over a year, Xia Qingqing had developed the ability to quickly catch key information.

She opened the live replay, using double speed to quickly sift through relevant information.

The content of the novel was of utmost importance.

The blogger’s behavior and the live comments were secondary.

Xia Qingqing’s eyes were fixed on the screen, and when she saw ‘Mr. Lin processes the crime scene,’ her eyebrows instinctively furrowed.

“This technique is indeed a bit too professional.”

She had graduated from the police academy, majoring in cyber security, and had specialized training in illegal information, making her highly sensitive to such material.

Nevertheless, Xia Qingqing didn’t rush to conclusions.

She had several classmates who were novelists, and their works demonstrated a high level of expertise.

Moreover, such information could be obtained through research.

She kept looking.

‘So, I devised a perfect scapegoat action plan.’

‘The scapegoat, I decided, would be the second in command, letting them fight among themselves, which I consider as my good deed.’

‘I calculated the second in command’s movements and prepared to strike.’

‘…’

Xia Qingqing’s eyebrows knit tightly together.

This ‘scapegoat’ plan seemed to have traces of a perfect crime.

Especially since the evidence such as ‘fingerprints on the weapon,’ ‘DNA under the nails,’ ‘scratch marks on the second in command’s body,’ ‘motive for the crime,’ ‘eyewitnesses,’ and ‘alibis’ were listed, the second in command was doomed to bear the name ‘murderer’!

No room for rebuttal!

And the real murderer, Mr. Lin, hadn’t left a single trace behind.

“This crime scene fabrication ability is excessively strong!” Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

If such a murder occurred in real life, could the truth really be discovered?

Xia Qingqing rubbed her eyes and continued reading.

Mr. Lin struck repeatedly.

Mission after mission, successfully accomplished.

Every crime scene was flawlessly fabricated.

Xia Qingqing felt her chest was oppressively heavy, and she struggled to breathe.

“The author of this book is definitely a high-intelligence criminal genius!” Xia Qingqing reached an astonishing conclusion.

However, even if the author, Lin Chuan, was a high-intelligence criminal genius, Xia Qingqing had no way to determine whether he had committed any illegal activities.

After all, he had only written a novel, not stabbed anyone!

For a moment,

Xia Qingqing was a bit undecided.

“Captain, I have a situation here that I need to report to you.” Xia Qingqing took out her phone to report the situation to the Cyber Security Detachment captain.

After hearing the report, the captain replied, “It’s fine for a novel to be written more realistically, as long as it doesn’t violate the law and there are no similar cases in reality, so it’s not yet time to draw conclusions. Just record it for now.”

Xia Qingqing nodded.

“By the way, the canteen at the station has prepared a late-night snack,” the captain reminded her.

“I’ll go in a bit.”

Xia Qingqing touched her stomach, realizing she was indeed a bit hungry.

…

Anling Police Station, canteen.

Xia Qingqing ladled a bowl of Silver Fungus Soup and sat down.

“Qingqing, are you working the night shift?”

Opposite her, a female officer with a visibly tired face also holding a bowl of Silver Fungus Soup, took a seat across from Xia Qingqing.

“Qianqian?”

A smile appeared on Xia Qingqing’s face. “The Cyber Police have to patrol the internet 24 hours a day. It’s just my turn for the night shift. Thanks to you, I’m here for a late-night snack.”

In the past, the police station didn’t offer late-night snacks.

But recently, both the patrol and the Criminal Police Brigade have been working overtime, and in particular the Criminal Police Brigade, which has been dealing with two consecutive murder cases, has been busier than ever.

The Criminal Police Brigade was under a lot of pressure, but so far, they haven’t uncovered any relevant clues, and the cases remained baffling.

However, as Cyber Police, Xia Qingqing’s knowledge of the Criminal Police Brigade’s affairs was limited.

Shen Qianqian scooped a spoonful of the Silver Fungus Soup into her mouth, the sweetness hitting her belly, but bitterness lingered on her face. “We’ve been working overtime for over a week now.”

“You’ve all been under a lot of pressure lately, haven’t you?”

Xia Qingqing asked with concern.

At that moment, Shen Qianqian’s weary face elicited a sense of sympathy.

She and Shen Qianqian were university classmates; different majors, but after joining Anling Police Station, they were both hailed as ‘the two beauties of the station,’ and they had a good relationship.

Shen Qianqian inhaled deeply, her chest rising and falling. “Yes, another murder case occurred in City East District this morning. That’s the third this month, and the entire Criminal Police Brigade hasn’t stopped for a moment.”

These days, she had been getting only about four hours of sleep a night due to the high workload, and she looked considerably worn out.

“Still no clues?”

Xia Qingqing inquired.

“None,”

Shen Qianqian shook her head.

Due to case confidentiality, she couldn’t reveal too much.

But, the Criminal Police Brigade still didn’t have the key information to crack the case!

Take, for instance, the murder case discovered that morning. The crime scene had been turned over three times, inside and out, but not a single piece of evidence could be found.

It was very strange!

As for nearby surveillance,

the kind of thing that never works when you need it the most—it was all broken.

There was a high level of public attention on these three murder cases.

Many media outlets were reporting on the incidents, stirring a flurry of discussions and causing widespread anxiety.

The higher-ups also issued an order, demanding they crack the case within seven days to provide a satisfactory explanation to the victims’ families, the public, and society.

“Oh, by the way, during my patrol on the internet today, I found a novel about a high-intelligence criminal assassin. It might be of help to you guys.”

Xia Qingqing smiled.
