Liang Zichen shuddered upon hearing Wang Shen's words. Looking at Wang Shen, he asked, "Are you saying that Xu Xiaolin's final stab was intentional?"
Wang Shen glanced at Liang Zichen, then shook his head. "I can't be sure. But it's pointless to discuss whether Xu Xiaolin's last stab was intentional now. Regardless of whether Xu Xiaolin did it intentionally or not, under those circumstances, Xu Xiaolin's life was seriously threatened, and her response was considered self-defense."
After listening to Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen nodded heavily. After a while, Liang Zichen asked, "So what do we do next? It seems Han Mo's case can be closed now?"
Wang Shen put down the photo frame in his hand, then turned around and picked up the red hard drive from the table. He looked at the red hard drive for a while, then shook his head. "I don't think things are that simple. There are still many doubts in Han Mo's case and Lin Su's case. I must figure these things out."
"Suspicious points? What other suspicious points are there?" Liang Zichen looked at Wang Shen with doubt after hearing his words.
Wang Shen shook his head and said, "Indeed, Lin Su did confess to the entire process of murdering Han Mo in the recording. But there's one thing you shouldn't forget. According to the recording, Lin Su left the crime scene immediately after murdering Han Mo. But Han Mo's room was a completely locked room. How did Lin Su manage to lock the door from the inside?"
Liang Zichen had been focusing on the murderer in Han Mo's case, neglecting the mystery of the locked room. Indeed, finding the murderer alone wasn't enough. If the mystery of the locked room couldn't be solved, the full story of Han Mo's case would remain unknown. Perhaps, the mystery of the locked room concealed an even greater secret.
"So what do we do next?" After thinking it through, Liang Zichen looked at Wang Shen, waiting for Wang Shen's next instructions.
Wang Shen waved the red hard drive in front of Liang Zichen and said, "Let's go back to the police station first. You check this red hard drive and see if Lin Su has used all the information in his novels."
After saying that, Liang Zichen nodded and left Lin Su's house with Wang Shen. Wang Shen was always a good driver, and they returned to the police station in no time. Wang Shen rushed to his office and immediately connected the red hard drive to his computer.
After the computer finished reading the data from the hard drive, Wang Shen immediately stood up from his chair. "You can sit here and watch."
"Huh?" Liang Zichen glanced at Wang Shen's chair, his expression somewhat awkward. "Captain Wang, you should sit down. I'll just stand and watch."
"Why are you so indecisive? You're still worrying about these useless things." After saying that, Wang Shen pointed to his chair. Liang Zichen nodded and finally sat down.
The red hard drive was almost entirely filled with Word documents. Liang Zichen opened each document one by one and quickly skimmed through the text. There were quite a few documents, and a lot of content. So this task took a considerable amount of time. After about two hours, Liang Zichen finally finished reading all the documents on the hard drive.
Liang Zichen leaned back in his chair, stretched, and then smiled at Wang Shen. "Captain Wang, I've finally finished reading. I'm exhausted."
"How is it?" For the past two hours, Wang Shen's eyes have been glued to the computer screen.
Liang Zichen glanced at Wang Shen's anxious expression and then replied, "As far as I know, the novel material in these documents has already been used by Lin Su."
After listening to Liang Zichen's words, Wang Shen fell into deep thought. After a while, Wang Shen looked up at Liang Zichen and said, "So, Lin Su's purpose in approaching Xu Xiaolin wasn't for this red hard drive."
Liang Zichen nodded while sitting in his chair, then added, "If we exclude the motive of the red hard drive, Lin Su's biggest purpose in approaching Xu Xiaolin is most likely for that diary. Because what's recorded in that diary is fatal to Lin Su."
After listening to Liang Zichen's words, Wang Shen nodded. "Furthermore, I think Lin Su's desires go beyond just the diary. As we suspected before, he might also want to obtain some material for his novel from Xu Xiaolin. Little did he know, Xu Xiaolin, the hunter, had already laid her net, just waiting for him to fall into it."
"So, we can't find any useful clues from this red hard drive, is that right?" Liang Zichen asked Wang Shen after hearing his words.
"Not necessarily. By the way, you didn't touch that red hard drive, did you?"
Upon hearing Wang Shen's sudden question, Liang Zichen looked puzzled. He glanced at his hands, then at the hard drive plugged into the computer, shook his head, and said, "No, Captain Wang, why do you ask?"
Wang Shen nodded, then took out his gloves from his pocket and put them on. "We wore gloves the entire time we handled this red hard drive. So, logically, this red hard drive should only have Lin Su's fingerprints on it."
Hearing Wang Shen say this, Liang Zichen frowned slightly and asked, "Captain Wang, what are you trying to prove?"
Before Liang Zichen could finish speaking, Wang Shen unplugged the red hard drive from the computer. Instead of answering Liang Zichen's question, Wang Shen turned and walked to his drawer, taking out a transparent plastic bag.
Wang Shen placed the red hard drive into a transparent plastic bag. Then, he handed the bag to Liang Zichen. "Take this red hard drive to the forensic department and have them examine the fingerprints on it. Lin Su's body should have already been transported to Wu Yi's place. After the fingerprints on the red hard drive are analyzed, have them compare them with Lin Su's own fingerprints. Once you have the results, have them report back to us immediately. Go quickly."
Hearing Wang Shen's straightforward and simple words, Liang Zichen didn't ask any further questions. He took the sealed bag from Wang Shen and left the office. Wang Shen closed his eyes briefly, his brows furrowed.
Suddenly, Wang Shen seemed to remember something. He walked to his locker, opened it, and took out a folder. Yes, this was Han Mo's case file, containing detailed records of the on-site investigation and Han Mo's autopsy results.
Wang Shen had actually read these materials many times, but he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to look at them again to see if he could find any more useful clues.
Wang Shen held the file sheets in his hand, then tossed them one by one onto his desk. The last few sheets were Han Mo's autopsy report. Nothing seemed different, and there were no more valuable clues. Just as Wang Shen was about to throw away these last few sheets, his hand suddenly tightened.
