You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

A luxurious villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

The next morning, the police received a report that Chu Tianxiong, chairman of the Sky Dome Group, had been found hanged in his villa out of fear of punishment.

After receiving the report, the police immediately cordoned off the scene.

Su Qingge, dressed in a police uniform, stood outside the villa with a solemn expression, her brow furrowed as she watched the forensic personnel coming and going.

She knew that this matter would not be that simple.

Lin Chen's call prompted her to rush over immediately.

"Team Leader Su, the site survey has been completed."

A forensic officer approached Su Qingge and reported the situation.

"The deceased, Chu Tianxiong, committed suicide by hanging. The preliminary assessment of the time of death is between 10 p.m. and midnight last night."

"There were no signs of a struggle at the scene, and the doors and windows were locked from the inside. Surveillance footage showed that only Chu Tianxiong entered and left the villa last night."

"Most importantly, we found a suicide note, and after preliminary comparison, the handwriting was indeed written by Chu Tianxiong himself."

The police officer handed over a document, which Su Qingge took and read. The contents of the suicide note were extremely detailed.

In his suicide note, Chu Tianxiong took all the blame for the Tianqiong Group's money laundering, assassinations, and even the bombing of the Guomao shopping mall. He expressed that he had let down the country and the people, and that he had no face to live on, so he chose to commit suicide to atone for his sins.

"This...this really is suicide?"

Su Qingge's brows furrowed even more.

This suicide note, combined with the circumstances at the scene, almost confirms the conclusion that Chu Tianxiong "committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

But she always felt something was off, especially Lin Chen's evaluation of Chu Tianxiong. He was a madman who would do anything for profit. Would a madman be so "righteous" as to take on all the blame?

Just then, Lin Chen appeared at the villa entrance.

He was wearing a black casual jacket, his expression was calm, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He ignored the media reporters surrounding the villa and walked straight towards Su Qingge.

"Lin Chen, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Su Qingge felt as if she had found her pillar of support and immediately went to greet him.

Lin Chen simply nodded, his gaze sweeping across the interior of the villa before landing on the suicide note in Su Qingge's hand.

He didn't go to pick up the suicide note, but just said it calmly.

"I can roughly guess the contents of the suicide note."

"Consultant Lin, look at the scene..."

Li Mingyu walked out of the villa, his police uniform was a little disheveled, and his face showed a hint of fatigue, but more than that, a sense of confusion.

During this period, he and Jiang Tingxue were temporarily transferred to the capital, so they participated in this case.

"The scene was indeed a perfect locked-room suicide; the doors and windows were locked from the inside, and there were no signs of outsiders entering."

"The handwriting in the suicide note matches. This Chu Tianxiong is really ruthless; he took all the blame."

Li Mingyu scratched his head. Although he used to be a "hater" of Lin Chen, after the two incidents at the high-speed rail station and the Guomao shopping mall, his admiration for Lin Chen had reached an unprecedented level.

He knew Lin Chen's abilities, and he also knew that Lin Chen would never easily believe appearances.

"The perfect locked-room suicide?"

Lin Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, his voice tinged with disdain.

"There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world, only undiscovered flaws."

He ignored Li Mingyu's confusion and walked straight into the villa.

The villa's interior was luxuriously decorated, but at this moment it was filled with an aura of death.

In the center of the living room, Chu Tianxiong's body still hung in mid-air, his body stiff and his face bluish-purple.

Lin Chen activated the [God-level Trace Identification Technique] and [God-level Insight].

He didn't rush to look at Chu Tianxiong's body or the suicide note, but went straight to the spot at Chu Tianxiong's feet.

There, a solid wood stool was kicked over and lay on the ground, legs facing upwards, looking rather pathetic.

Upon seeing this, Li Mingyu immediately followed.

"Advisor Lin, this stool was kicked over by Chu Tianxiong when he hanged himself. We have already taken photos as evidence."

Lin Chen didn't speak; he simply squatted down and stared sharply at the stool.

His gaze swept over the direction the stool had fallen and the subtle marks left on the ground by its legs.

In his eyes, these seemingly insignificant details conceal truths that ordinary people cannot perceive.

The "God-Level Trace Detection Technique" allowed Lin Chen to see the friction marks between the stool legs and the ground, as well as the fine dust distribution at the edges of the marks.

His [God-level Insight] allowed him to detect the unnatural "force" behind these traces.

"Li Mingyu, come here."

Lin Chen suddenly spoke.

Li Mingyu quickly stepped forward.

"Advisor Lin, what are your instructions?"

"If an 80-kilogram adult male, driven by the instinct for survival, struggles to kick over a stool and hang himself, in which direction will the stool fall, and how far will it fall?"

Lin Chen pointed to the stool on the ground and asked in a calm tone.

Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment.

Although he was a criminal investigator, he had never really thought about such details carefully.

He glanced instinctively at the stool, then at Chu Tianxiong's corpse, and then replied:

"It should... it should fall away from the body, right? After all, it was kicked over, so there must be a reaction force."

"That's right."

Lin Chen nodded and then took out his phone.

He opened the calculator on his phone and his fingers flew across the screen, typing out a series of formulas.

[God-level Physics Mastery] Instantly activated.

Lin Chen's brain was like a super-high-dimensional quantum computer at this moment, instantly inputting a series of physical data such as Chu Tianxiong's weight, the material, height, center of gravity of the stool, as well as gravitational acceleration, friction coefficient, etc., into a complex mechanical model for calculation.

"According to Newton's second law and the acceleration due to gravity, if an adult weighing 80 kilograms applies a force in the vertical direction and struggles to kick over this solid wood stool to commit suicide, the distance the stool falls should not exceed half a meter."

Lin Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

He pointed to the spot where the stool had fallen on the ground and said in an icy tone:

"And this stool was a full 1.2 meters away from the body!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingyu and Su Qingge's expressions changed instantly.

1.2 meters!

This is more than half a meter different from what Lin Chen calculated!

The difference is by no means accidental!

What does this mean?

Su Qingge couldn't help but ask, her heart suddenly racing.

She knew that Lin Chen must have discovered some astonishing clue.

"This means that Chu Tianxiong was already killed before he hanged himself."

Lin Chen's eyes were cold and sharp, like two sharp knives pointing directly to the truth.

"Then, after Chu Tianxiong died, someone deliberately pushed over the stool to create the illusion of suicide!"

boom!

Lin Chen's words were like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in the hearts of Su Qingge and Li Mingyu!

murder!

This is not a suicide out of guilt; it is clearly a meticulously planned murder!

"But...but the doors and windows are all locked from the inside!"

Li Mingyu said incredulously that he checked the doors and windows again and found that they were indeed locked from the inside, with no signs of being pried open.

Lin Chen did not answer Li Mingyu's question. He simply glanced coldly around the villa, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

He knew that Xiao Zhen, that old fox, had staged a perfect locked-room murder scene in order to clear himself of suspicion.

But no matter how perfect the disguise, it will be exposed in the face of [God-level Trace Detection Technique] and [God-level Physics Mastery].

"Team Leader Su, immediately notify Forensic Doctor Jiang to conduct a detailed autopsy on Chu Tianxiong's body."

Lin Chen turned to Su Qingge and said, his tone tinged with urgency.

"Focus on checking for ligature marks on the neck and conjunctiva of the eyes."

Su Qingge immediately realized that Lin Chen must have made a deeper discovery.

She immediately took out her phone and dialed Jiang Tingxue's number.

"Forensic Doctor Jiang, you must immediately go to this villa in the suburbs of Beijing and conduct a detailed autopsy on Chu Tianxiong's body. Lin Chen has made a new discovery!" Su Qingge ordered sternly.

"Yes, Team Leader Su!"

Jiang Tingxue's cool voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Chen looked at the "perfect" secret room in front of him, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Xiao Zhen, do you think you can escape unscathed by killing Chu Tianxiong and then staging a suicide scene?

You underestimate me, Lin Chen.

He knew that Xiao Zhen's actions were not only to silence him, but also to pin all the blame for the Tianqiong Group on Chu Tianxiong, thereby completely clearing the Xiao family's name.

But Lin Chen would never let Xiao Zhen have his way.

He wants to completely eradicate Xiao Zhen and the entire Xiao family!

A new contest has quietly begun in the capital.

This time, Lin Chen wanted to show Xiao Zhen what true despair was.

He looked again at the overturned stool, a cold smile curving his lips.

Physics does not lie.
