A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

"What clue!"

The chair made a screeching sound as it rubbed against the floor.

Fan Liang sprang up from his seat like a spring.

The torment of the past few days had left his eyes sunken, but now they gleamed with a terrifying light as he stared intently at the young detective at the door.

"Speak!" Fan Liang's voice was hoarse like a broken gong, yet it carried an undeniable authority.

"Two hours ago, the security guard at the city police station received a package, specifically addressed to you." The young detective spoke rapidly, panting heavily. "He didn't pay attention at the time, thinking it was just a normal delivery. He only remembered it when he was handing over his shift, so he left it on the table outside the task force's office. We... none of us paid any attention at the time."

A flicker of lingering fear and regret crossed the young detective's face.

"But! But just now, when Sister Xia Lan was about to leave work, she noticed that the bottom of the package... was seeping blood!"

"What's inside?" Fan Liang rushed to him and grabbed his shoulders with both hands.

"Six...six still-bleeding hearts." The young detective's voice trembled. "And a USB drive sealed in a bag. The forensic team has arrived and is retrieving it. Chief Wu said he'll bring the USB drive over immediately!"

Six hearts!

Upon hearing this number, Fan Liang's body jolted, and he instinctively turned his head to look at Qi Feng with a horrified expression.

Qi Feng's heart was also in turmoil.

Six!

The three victims in the doll-hidden corpse case: lawyer, Vice President Deng Yang and his wife.

No more, no less, exactly six.

Is this a show of their victory? A provocation against the police?

No, that's not right!

All of the couple's actions pointed to one core: revenge.

They are not perverts who enjoy killing; everything they do is driven by an extremely strong purpose.

So, this USB drive...

What would be inside the USB drive?

Could it be!

A crazy idea flashed through Qi Feng's mind like lightning. His pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, looking at Fan Liang.

Almost at the same time, Fan Liang also reacted, and an incredulous light burst forth in his bloodshot eyes.

"evidence!"

"Evidence!"

The two of them shouted it out almost in unison!

Before he finished speaking, Fan Liang had already rushed out of the office like a cheetah, sprinting with all his might towards the trace evidence laboratory.

Qi Feng followed closely behind, and the gust of wind created by their running instantly stirred up the entire oppressive office area.

Just as I rushed to the entrance of the trace evidence laboratory, the glass door slid open to both sides, and Section Chief Wu of the trace evidence department walked out from inside, carrying a transparent evidence bag containing a black USB flash drive.

Seeing Fan Liang and Qi Feng charging towards them like wolves and tigers, the experienced Section Chief Wu didn't waste any words and directly reported to his superior: "The USB flash drive casing has been inspected, it's been wiped very clean, and there are no fingerprints."

Fan Liang snatched the evidence bag from Section Chief Wu's hand and ran towards the task force's command post.

There was a huge projector there, and he wanted everyone to see clearly what these outlaws had left behind!

He needs to know the answer immediately!

"Captain Fan!"

Just as Fan Liang was about to rush into the command center and plug the USB drive into the computer connected to the projector, a hand reached out from the side and firmly pressed down on his wrist.

It was Qi Feng.

"What's wrong?" Fan Liang turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with anxiety and confusion.

"Captain Fan, calm down!" Qi Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it was unusually calm. He glanced at the young officers in the task force who were looking at him blankly, and lowered his voice, "If what's inside is what we're thinking, this isn't the place!"

One sentence, like a bucket of ice water, was instantly poured over Fan Liang's burning head.

He then realized what was happening.

Yes, if the USB drive really contains what he and Qi Feng suspected, how could these young people withstand it!

That's not about finding clues; that's collective psychological trauma!

Fan Liang's chest heaved violently as he forced himself to calm down.

"Then...where to?" he asked hoarsely.

"Technical Department." Qi Feng's thinking was crystal clear. "Their computers are on a physically isolated intranet, which is the most secure. And if there's any encryption or trap on the USB drive, they can deal with it immediately."

"Yes! Let's go!"

Without further hesitation, Fan Liang turned around and, together with Qi Feng, rushed towards the technical department on the other side of the building once again.

It was nearly midnight, but due to the overall high alert, the lights in the technical section were still on.

The section chief was a middle-aged man in his forties with a receding hairline but sharp eyes.

After listening to Fan Liang and Qi Feng's brief and urgent explanation, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

Without any unnecessary words, the technical section chief led the two to a high-performance analysis computer, put on anti-static gloves, and carefully took the USB flash drive out of the evidence bag and inserted it into the interface.

He didn't open it immediately, but instead typed rapidly on the keyboard, completing a series of checks before speaking.

"Safety."

A few dozen seconds later, the head of the technical department uttered two words succinctly before clicking on the USB drive's drive letter.

There is only one video file on the USB drive.

Move the mouse and double-click to open the video file.

The screen went black and then lit up again.

The video has started playing.

The footage was shaking violently, seemingly handheld. In the dim light, a man covered in blood could be seen bound to a wooden stake with rope.

It was Deng Yang, the former vice president of the Women and Children's Hospital in City A!

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse, suppressed male voice came from the speaker.

"My name is Ren Yongshou. Today, I will use my own methods to try a... murderer."

I just saw the first scene and heard the first sentence.

Qi Feng and Fan Liang exchanged a sudden glance, both seeing the knowing look in each other's eyes.

Their guesses were correct!

This is not a provocation at all; it is a blood-stained, belated court record that the desperate couple handed over to the police!
