"Things that violate the professional ethics of the police...?" Du Ruoxian's Adam's apple moved slightly, and then nodded quietly.

To catch a perfect criminal, the best way is to become his accomplice. Only in this way can evidence be obtained, but correspondingly, as a price, as a policeman, he will inevitably be covered with a fatal stain that cannot be erased throughout his life.

"Come to hell with me, professor." He had already made up his mind, but at this moment, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

In the past, he never lost his composure and sanity, whether he was held to his temple by the muzzle of a gangster or poured gasoline all over his body by an extremist, but now he is facing a criminal who stands at the pinnacle of criminal history. Professor Moriarty—even the famous Mr. Holmes can't do anything about him, so what can he do as an ordinary person?

Maybe in the eyes of the other party, his little thought is completely clear.While he was busy weaving the naive French trap, the other party had silently opened a more secretive and excellent spider web, which was slowly tightening from all directions.Sooner or later, the other party's spider silk will precisely bind his every finger and every thought, making every movement of him involuntary from now on.

Thinking of this, Du Ruoxian's fingertips couldn't help shaking, even if he clenched into a fist, he couldn't relieve it.

That is the instinctive reaction that any weak animal will have when it encounters a powerful natural enemy. It is a kind of fear engraved deep in the genes. They are screaming desperately in their blood, telling him to run away.

But he still stubbornly stood in place.

Just standing there was going to consume all of his willpower.

His keen instincts allowed him to clearly feel the disparity in their strengths. What he did was tantamount to seeking skins from tigers, but he had to take this step——

For Xiaoying.

The man in front of him was like an unfathomable swamp. On the surface, it was full of grass, but in fact it was extremely deadly. You could clearly feel the great danger if you got close to it for a second, let alone being with him day and night.He must not just watch Xiaoying step in with her feet without knowing it, and be assimilated and swallowed by the other party little by little.

Even in the face of an almost zero winning rate, he will try his best to overcome his instinctive fear and go forward bravely, just like a moth to a flame, stupid and cute.

"Great reaction." William smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to straighten Du Ruoxian's collar, like a boss showing love to his subordinates, hypocritical and aggressive, "I promise you, I will cut off contact with Xiaoying from now on, If there is any need for help, I will give you priority."

A ray of hope flashed in Du Ruoxian's eyes.

"However, it is not enough to get your verbal promise, I also need to see your actions," William continued, "To show my sincerity, how about you taking the initiative to lose this reasoning competition? If you lose , our transaction will take effect, otherwise it will be void."

As expected of the king of the criminal world, he really has a strong desire to control. As soon as the negotiation was over, he couldn't wait to start playing with his new chess piece.

Du Ruoxian felt a tightness in his throat: "Yes."

Perhaps, the self who took the initiative to throw himself into the net is doomed to be deeply trapped, with nowhere to escape.In the end, was he the first to become a puppet played by the other party at will, or was the other party completely dragged into the abyss of subjugation by himself?

Everything is still unknown.

That said, there is still hope...

the other side--

"Captain Zhou, we found it." A police officer walked quickly to Officer Zhou and listened.

"What did you find?" Du Ruoying asked.

"It's none of your business, let's go, kid." Officer Zhou said impatiently.

"Why is it none of my business? You deliberately pick on my brother...you said when Officer Du was not present, it must be very important information."

"This information was originally provided by Officer Du, and we were only responsible for confirming it." The officer explained.

Du Ruoying sized up the two people in front of her with extremely suspicious eyes: "Really?"

"Forget it, it's okay to tell you," Police Officer Zhou pinched his brows helplessly, "Officer Du was on duty in the opposite building at night, and at around 21:15, he happened to see the lights in this room suddenly go out. We just called Street surveillance confirmed what he said."

"So that's how it is," Du Ruoying understood, "This shortens the time for committing a crime—if the person who turned off the light was the victim, it means that he was attacked after a quarter past nine; It's time for crime."

"Yeah, that would rule out people who had an alibi from a quarter past nine to 10:30."

"I was eating supper at the restaurant during that time, and I never left. The restaurant staff can testify." Lu Renjia said quickly.

"You have such a good appetite, you can still eat supper after eating sea sand bibimbap." Yue Yin said sarcastically.

"What, it's because I ate such a strange thing that made me vomit for a long time, and finally vomited out my stomach, so I had to find something to eat." Lu Ningjia frowned displeased, "Hmph , anyway, the only suspects left now are you and Uncle Weiping, no matter how bitter you are, it’s useless.”

"Who... who hurt you?!" Yue Yin was obviously irritated, "In this case, shouldn't it be the person with an alibi who is the most suspicious? It took more than an hour to eat, and I didn’t leave the table even once, isn’t it strange? You must have used a trick, I know, you often see that kind of trick to create a time difference in detective novels!”

"Crazy, I don't bother to talk to you." Lu Renjia gave her a white look, and then strode away.

"Captain Zhou, we found fishing lines outside the balcony of the victim's room, and we found traces of the filaments rubbing on the floor-to-ceiling windows." On the balcony, a police officer shouted.

At this time, Du Ruoxian and William also came over, so Officer Zhou and Du Ruoxian entered the scene of the crime together.

"This twisted fishing line is undoubtedly used to lock the glass door of the balcony. The end of the fishing line faces to the right, which means that the murderer tends to escape from the right side after arranging everything." Officer Zhou raised his eyes slowly, until Looking at the room to the right of 8168——

8167, that is Yue Yin's room.

The two walked out of the crime scene, and Police Officer Zhou came to Yue Yin: "Miss Yue Yin, would you like to cooperate with the police and let us check your balcony?"

"Well... yes, what's wrong with my balcony?" Yue Yin asked in a daze.

However, no one explained to her, so the police officers just broke in, opened the curtains, and entered the balcony.

Du Ruoying stood outside the door and watched from a distance, and found that although the two rooms were closely adjacent to each other, the scenery outside the window was quite different. The victim's room could see the sea with a very wide view, but the view from this room was blocked by No. 8166 next door. The balcony partition wall protruding from the room was cut in half.

"Team Zhou, I found a telescopic ladder on the balcony. After being stretched, the length is just enough to reach the balcony next door."

"Team Zhou, a ball of fishing line was found under the ladder. The material looks the same as the one at the crime scene, but it needs to be brought back for further testing."

"Sure enough, it's exactly as I guessed." Police Officer Zhou showed a happy smile, "The murderer is Yue Yin, she can't be wrong, she bypassed the surveillance in the corridor, entered the victim's room from the balcony and killed the victim..."

"It's impossible." Du Ruoxian said, "First of all, it's too conspicuous to go out with a ladder."

"This ladder is only half a meter square when it is shrunk to its smallest size, so it won't be very conspicuous if it is hidden in the suitcase." Officer Zhou pointed at Yue Yin's suitcase and argued.

"This suitcase itself is only half a meter square, and it can't fit anything half a meter square."

Police Officer Zhou didn't believe it, but he tried it and found that it was true, so he had to change his guess: "That can also be done by express delivery."

"The courier will be photographed and recorded, and the murderer usually doesn't do this," Du Ruoxian explained patiently, "And all the items in this room are far away from the balcony, such as the table—so many cosmetics, I would rather be crowded I can't move it together, and I don't want to move towards the balcony. Ms. Yue Yin probably has a serious fear of heights?"

"Well, that's right..." Yue Yin nodded nervously.

"She lied!" Police Officer Zhou cried out angrily.

"No, she didn't lie. That's why she can accept a room with such a poor view of the sea." Du Ruoxian said, "What's more, the action of locking the balcony with a fishing line is superfluous. Disguise the scene as a suicide, not an accident. As an accident scene, no one will care whether the balcony windows are locked or not. Leaving fishing lines next to the windows is even more superfluous. How can you prepare for such an unnecessary cover-up? Isn’t it worth the candle for a big criminal tool?”

Officer Zhou wiped his forehead guiltyly: "It's all just your speculation, but the physical evidence we found is real."

"I'm not speculating, I have evidence," Du Ruoxian said, "Crossing over the balcony to kill people, such a big action, will inevitably be exposed to the street surveillance you just found, but you didn't find such a picture in the surveillance, did you? That's enough to explain everything. I'm afraid the real murderer took advantage of Miss Yue Yin's fear of heights, 'never approaching the balcony', and deliberately arranged such a planting, right?"

The scene fell into a brief dead silence, until Yue Yin burst into tears.

"Thank you, Officer Du..."

Du Ruoxian handed her a tissue, and was about to say a few words of comfort, when he was about to say something, but was suddenly choked by the sharp gaze behind her.

That was William's gaze.

"There can't be a second time, Officer Du."

William opened his lips lightly, and warned him silently.
