The next day, on the way to the police station, Bai Yanliang received a text ssage.
"The Secret Key has gone to Ye City."
The sender was Li Mu.
Secret Key...
That was the mysterious and dangerous criminal Li Mu had ntioned before, who greatly resembled Bai Yanliang.
"Hmm."
Bai Yanliang typed a single character and sent it to Li Mu.
Why the criminal codenad "Secret Key" ca to Ye City, Li Mu didn’t explain, perhaps he didn’t know the reason either.
But... Bai Yanliang had a feeling that sothing was about to happen.
...
Today’s case analysis eting started on schedule.
As soon as Bai Yanliang entered the eting room, Gao Fei exclaid, "Bai, what happened to your hand?"
Everyone’s eyes turned towards Bai Yanliang’s arm, which was wrapped in thick bandages, clearly injured.
Ren Wudao, sitting by the window, glanced at Bai Yanliang and then silently turned his gaze away.
Here... only he knew how Bai Yanliang got his injury.
Yu Sheng had specifically instructed him to see if Bai Yanliang had properly bandaged himself.
Bai Yanliang glanced at Gao Fei, originally intending to have him stitch the wound, but unexpectedly, this guy had been working at the police station for two consecutive days without much rest.
However, Bai Yanliang could stitch his own arm wound, so he didn’t take the injury too seriously.
As for the pain?
Bai Yanliang’s endurance could rival a cat’s; he was hardly ever disturbed by physical pain affecting his thoughts or actions.
So, Bai Yanliang smiled and said, "It’s nothing."
Then, he sat down across from Ren Wudao without looking around.
"Well, let’s begin."
Director Liang’s expression didn’t look good; it seed the public pressure was increasing.
After the eting began, Lin Wan was the first to speak.
She stood in front of the slides, demonstrating relevant photos while introducing the findings from yesterday.
"Wang Huaijin, male, thirty-six, married, an executive at Xiangtian Technology Company, slim build, ordinary appearance, the deceased was his lover. Yesterday’s investigation revealed that this person is introverted and sensitive, and despite holding a high position, he inexplicably harbors severe inferiority complex."
"Guo Yang, male, forty-one, widowed, manager of a procurent departnt in a state-owned enterprise, tall, nearly 1.9 ters, slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, loves getting stuck on details."
"Lei Dongming, male, forty-seven, married. Vice chairman of Yunhua Trade, short and fat, male chauvinist, went on a business trip out of Ye City early yesterday."
"Zhang Xingye, male, thirty-nine, divorced. Independent business owner, the person who maintained the most frequent contact with the deceased."
"On the day of the incident, none of these four people could provide an alibi, aning they all had ample ti to commit the murder."
Lin Wan projected four photos of these n, who were significant "lovers" of the deceased discovered yesterday.
Yang Wanlong got up, walked to the front of the eting room, nodded to Lin Wan, and said:
"We closely reviewed all the surveillance videos from the street park the day before yesterday, and we found this."
As he spoke, Yang Wanlong displayed a screenshot, a surveillance image.
After technical processing, the captured person’s appearance could be roughly seen.
This is... Fu Yunqing!
Just as Bai Yanliang said, she was in disguise, and it was heavy makeup.
Furthermore... the ti in the screenshot’s upper right corner was 11:05.
"The deceased indeed entered the street park by herself and was indeed in disguise, but... before noon, apart from the deceased, only three n entered the street park, and... none of those three n were any of the deceased’s four lovers." Yang Wanlong’s voice was sowhat fatigued.
He personally checked the surveillance video, staring at it for more than half the night, but the conclusion was still unsatisfactory.
The four "boyfriends" of Fu Yunqing were all cleared of suspicion.
They simply did not appear in the street park at that ti.
"I investigated those three n who were captured; they didn’t know the deceased, and their ntal state was normal, they should... truly have just passed by."
The eting room fell silent again.
Although they indeed recognized the heavily made-up Fu Yunqing entering the street park herself, the originally most suspect four n didn’t appear in the surveillance at all.
"Is it possible... the culprit didn’t enter through the main entrance but found a corner to climb over the wall?" Gao Fei suddenly asked.
"Impossible, not to ntion the walls of the street park are covered with iron spikes, and with the comprehensive surveillance outside, the culprit wouldn’t take such a risk. The area is heavily monitored due to the many surrounding businesses; we checked thoroughly, and indeed no one climbed over the wall. The culprit... how exactly did they get in?" Yang Wanlong flatly denied, but the more he spoke, the more frustrated he felt.
This case is extrely bizarre, full of abnormality.
"Then there’s only one possibility left."
Ren Wudao raised his head and said seriously.
"What?"
Yang Wanlong asked eagerly. The police were at a complete loss, unable to think of any way the culprit could sneak past the caras, but soone was indeed killed, so soone must have used so way to sneak into the street park and then brought a head out.
"The culprit, disguised as a woman."
Ren Wudao’s voice echoed in the eting room, almost shocking everyone.
"How is that possible? Impossible!" Yang Wanlong denied again.
"The differences between male physique, bone structure, gait, and poise with females are significant; if one hasn’t practiced for a long ti, it’s easy to tell!"
Ren Wudao got up and walked towards Yang Wanlong.
He was taller than Yang Wanlong and said condescendingly, "Then let’s look at them one by one again."
With that, Ren Wudao actually requested to play all the people who entered the street park in the eting room.
To be fair, if Ren Wudao was right, this was indeed a good approach.
Perhaps due to preconceived notions, the surveillance didn’t pay attention to won originally, so now look again and might as well find sothing?
With this thought, everyone focused intently on the large screen, which was showing clips of those caught on cara.
One, two, three, four... thirty-one.
From midnight to noon, thirty-one people entered the street park, and only three were n.
Everyone watched carefully, not missing any of them, but... in terms of physique and posture, the won caught on cara seed indeed to all be won.
Ren Wudao’s eyebrows furrowed; it was... wrong.
But then, Bai Yanliang suddenly said, "Please hold on."
Everyone turned towards him.
Bai Yanliang seed to recall sothing and walked towards Ren Wudao, taking the mouse and rewinding the video footage.
Finally, he clicked on a segnt and said:
"There’s another possibility, the culprit... is a woman."
