PS: First update delivered!!!

Chapter 264: Arrest! Is there another murderer? The body reappears!

After receiving the report from the forensic department, Ling Qian'er immediately led her team to arrest the suspect.

Meanwhile, in the forensic department, Ye Tianming called Ling Yaqing to his office and talked to her about the game "Legend of the Undead".

Around 3pm.

News came from the Major Crimes Unit.

The suspect has been caught!

He is currently in the interrogation room and is being interrogated.

Ye Tianming also went over to take a look out of curiosity.

In the observation room, Ye Tianming stood to one side, and through the one-way mirror in front of him, he could clearly see the situation inside the interrogation room.

at this time;

The suspect, presumed to be the murderer in the jigsaw puzzle case, was sitting in a chair, handcuffed and looking quite uneasy.

The other party was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties.

My hair is slightly balding.

He was wearing a faded gray suit and leather shoes that were covered in creases.

Ye Tianming had read this person's information.

The other person's name is Xie Yuanhua.

He is a small business owner who runs a hardware store.

His hobby is playing a few rounds of gambling. He was once arrested for gambling in a group.

But apart from that, there are no other criminal records.

"Could this kind of person be the murderer in the jigsaw puzzle murder case?"

Ye Tianming sized up Xie Yuanhua, but he didn't really believe that the other party was the murderer.

At this time;

The interrogation room door opened.

Ling Qian'er walked in with Police Chief Li Zhanfeng and a tall, burly subordinate.

Snapped!

Ling Qian'er slammed a document heavily onto the table.

Xie Yuanhua, who was sitting over there, visibly twitched his eyelids a few times, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Officer! I've recently quit gambling, I really haven't gambled anymore!"

Xie Yuanhua spoke up in defense.

"Xie Yuanhua, 36 years old, the owner of Yuanhua Hardware Store, right?"

Li Zhanfeng then opened the documents in front of him and read the contents aloud.

"Yes, yes, but I really haven't gambled anymore!"

Xie Yuanhua nodded and offered another explanation.

Do you know why we arrested you?

Ling Qian'er looked at him coldly and said.

Xie Yuanhua looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Not because of gambling?"

he asked.

"Are you still pretending?!"

Li Zhanfeng slammed his hand on the table, startling Xie Yuanhua across from him so much that he almost slid off his chair.

His face trembled as he said:

"Officer, I really don't know! Please tell me!"

He looked like he was about to cry.

"You don't know, do you?" Li Zhanfeng said with a cold snort.

He then slapped a stack of photos in front of Xie Yuanhua.

Those were photos taken by the police when the bodies were at the scene.

"Take a good look at these. You still say you don't know?"

Xie Yuanhua picked up the photos with trembling hands, and was completely dumbfounded.

"Officer, I'm innocent! Aside from being a bit of a gambler and liking to play a few rounds, I wouldn't even dare kill a chicken! You're accusing me of murder? How could I dare?!"

Seeing these photos, Xie Yuanhua knew perfectly well why the police had arrested him.

The jigsaw puzzle murder case has been reported countless times in Hong Kong these past few days.

When Xie Yuanhua had nothing to do at the shop, he liked to watch TV and read newspapers. Naturally, he had heard about this sensational case that had shaken the whole of Hong Kong.

So when he saw these photos, he was stunned.

The police actually suspect him of being the murderer in the jigsaw puzzle murder case?

Heaven and earth conscience!

Aside from his gambling addiction, Xie Yuanhua really hasn't done anything else that's morally reprehensible.

kill?

Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't have that ability at all!

Ling Qian'er, who was sitting in her seat, kept observing Xie Yuanhua.

Looking at the other person, he really didn't seem like the kind of pervert who would kill and dismember people.

He seems more like a coward with no guts.

'No wonder it wasn't him?'

Ling Qian'er thought to herself.

But the half-fingerprint on that screw was the only indicative clue they had.

And it's true that the questioning came from Xie Yuanhua.

Perhaps Xie Yuanhua is very good at pretending and acting.

Ling Qian'er thought to herself.

Ye Tianming stood in the observation room, looking at the situation in the interrogation room, and shook his head.

He was now certain that Xie Yuanhua was definitely not the real murderer.

This guy... is most likely just unlucky.

As the owner of a hardware store.

Xie Yuanhua's shop also sells a lot of screws and other accessories.

The screw they found at the scene of the body dumping may have been sold from his shop.

It's normal for items sold in your own store to have your fingerprints on them.

But if the screws were purchased by the murderer, given the murderer's meticulousness, they would definitely have wiped them clean.

That half fingerprint might have been accidentally missed by the murderer.

of course!

It's also possible that the screws themselves weren't bought by the murderer.

Instead, someone else bought it, used it somewhere, and then it ended up in the hands of the murderer.

It was then used by the murderer to fix the remains of the body.

But whatever the case may be.

Xie Yuanhua in front of us is definitely innocent.

He was so frightened by Ling Qian'er and the others' interrogation that he burst into tears.

Judging from Ye Tianming's assessment, that demeanor was definitely not an act.

He had seen far too much of that kind of deep-seated fear.

You can't be mistaken.

but;

Although Ye Tianming was already certain in his heart that Xie Yuanhua was not the real culprit.

However, he did not interfere with Ling Qian'er's interrogation.

More than an hour later.

It's almost 4:30.

Ling Qian'er and the others were still interrogating Xie Yuanhua, the unlucky fellow, in the interrogation room.

Seeing that they seemed to be going to have to fight a protracted battle, Ye Tianming lost interest in watching any longer.

After speaking to the police officers at the scene, he turned and left the observation room.

...

Back to the forensic department.

Ye Tianming's youngest apprentice saw him and immediately ran over.

"Master, how's it going?"
