Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Outlaws?
“High-intelligence crime?”
Shen Qianqian gave a start, her willowy brows furrowed slightly.
Xia Qingqing nodded lightly, “Yes, the protagonist in it is an assassin, very professional, especially in terms of fabricating the crime scene after killing the target—it’s called professional!”
“Fabricating the crime scene…” Shen Qianqian murmured to herself.
The Criminal Police Brigade had speculated in the direction of ‘fabricating the crime scene’, but due to the succession of cases that came one after another, which caught them off guard,
they had a difficult time spreading out their investigations.
If it really was a high-intelligence crime involving ‘fabricating the crime scene’, it would be worth a look, as it might help a bit with divergent thinking in handling future cases.
“What’s the name of this novel? Once I’m done with these few cases, I’ll take the time to read it,” Shen Qianqian said with a smile.
“Sailing Novel, This Assassin Is Too Professional,” Xia Qingqing said with a chuckle.
Shen Qianqian opened the Sailing Novel app and searched.
Suddenly!
Her willowy brows furrowed slightly, her pupils shook, a flicker of surprise flashed through her eyes, and she immediately pictured that clean, sunny, handsome face in her mind.
“The author, Mr. Lin…Lin Chuan?”
“Qianqian, what’s wrong?” Xia Qingqing asked curiously, noting Shen Qianqian’s unusual expression.
“This author…” Shen Qianqian paused, “I know him.”
Xia Qingqing raised an eyebrow, “Tonight, the Cyberspace Surveillance Brigade informed me to identify if a book recommendation live stream involved any dissemination of criminal behavior, and they were promoting this very book of his.”
Shen Qianqian’s brows knitted together, and a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes again.
Why did Lin Chuan’s novels always revolve around themes that walked the line of legality?
Theft and swindling were still manageable.
But this time, it’s a high-intelligence crime genre involving ‘fabricating crime scenes’—and it’s even acclaimed as professional?
“That’s too real!”
Shen Qianqian muttered to herself.
“I also think it’s very realistic, but the captain said that it’s just a novel and there are no corresponding real cases, so it only needs to be recorded,” Xia Qingqing said with a laugh.
Shen Qianqian’s gaze flickered, “Do you still remember the plot? Especially the part about fabricating the crime scene.”
Drinking her Silver Fungus Soup, Xia Qingqing looked up at Shen Qianqian in surprise, “You’re not going to crack the case using this, are you?”
Shen Qianqian gave a gentle smile, “Not really, I just want to see if I can put myself in the shoes of a criminal suspect and think about how one would fabricate a crime scene.”
She believed that Lin Chuan was most likely adopting the perspective of a ‘criminal suspect’ in fabricating crime scenes.
This was Shen Qianqian’s understanding of Lin Chuan’s writing style after reading “Thief” and “Swindler”.
In Shen Qianqian’s mind, Lin Chuan’s novels had two major features.
First, a first-person narrative that gives a strong sense of immersion.
Second, combining the ‘profession’ of the protagonist, vividly portraying its characteristics with a high degree of professionalism!
In reality.
In many cases where there are no leads, criminal investigation personnel need to draw upon their existing experience, think outside the box, and use new approaches to uncover relevant clues.
Many bizarre cases are cracked following an inadvertently found clue which then leads to uncovering the full picture successfully.
Lin Chuan’s novel might just become a point for divergent thinking.
“Okay, I’ll tell you about it.”
Xia Qingqing nodded, finished the Silver Fungus Soup in her bowl, then took out her phone, opened “This Assassin Is Too Professional”, and specifically turned to the chapter on fabricating scenes, narrating it to Shen Qianqian.
With Xia Qingqing acting as the narrator, Shen Qianqian was able to understand the story as quickly as possible.
Especially the part about counterfeiting the crime scene.
Shen Qianqian listened earnestly.
However, her brows grew tighter, a trace of puzzlement emerging on her face, the more she listened, the more she felt something was amiss.
It takes an insider to understand the intricacies.
