Chapter 235

These were things that this person hadn't anticipated.

In fact, this is the outcome of many people's crimes of impulse.

"Besides, a simple firefighter investigation could uncover the problem — whether it was gasoline or deliberate arson, it's very easy to be discovered. You're overthinking it, underestimating today's legal system. I told you to watch less TV — don't think that just because you've learned a little something, you can commit the perfect crime."

In the observation room, countless people felt cold sweat breaking out on their backs. Good lord, the case was solved just like that?

Here, Qin Ming said: "Actually, the reason Old Liu suspected it was the timing — a little past seven in the morning, that's when the fire started, and someone even noticed it. It's not realistic."

"I remember plenty of people do morning exercises."

"If it really were morning exercisers, they would have called the police much earlier. The firefighters said the scene hadn't even been fully processed yet — why do you think the fire was so big?"

A fire that big could only be deliberate arson. If it were just an ordinary room catching fire, it would be very easy to put out, because there aren't that many things inside a room that could fuel a blaze.

And there's another key point.

Qin Ming said: "I was looking at the trending searches at the time, and the trending post went up way too fast — I even felt it might have been written in advance."

Teacher He said: "Does such a thing exist?"

Song Zuer said: "It does exist. My dad says some reporters have no bottom line — for the sake of news, they manufacture news. After the whole thing blows over, most cases just die down, but if you keep pressing, the reporter can be charged with extortion, or even fraud and the crime of spreading false news."

Hu Ge said: "I just remembered — this year we've been cracking down on false news from self-media accounts, right?"

Qin Ming said: "Right, these are all potential future crimes. The media has never been in the hands of individuals throughout history — that's an ironclad lesson."

Every country has its own way, but if the media turns bad, that's a knife that kills without drawing blood.

Chen Fan headed back to the forensic side, where Old Liu handed him a badge.

"What's this thing?"

"Yours. You've got a new assignment today?"

Chen Fan frowned and said: "Don't tell me I'm going to lecture at the police academy — I went last time, I'm not going."

Old Liu said: "It's not lecturing at the police academy."

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, took the apple the teacher handed him, and took a bite. The taste was off, so he said: "This apple isn't local."

"Not bad, you've got a bit of a forensic look about you. This apple really isn't local — it's where you're headed. Let's test you — where does this apple come from?"

Chen Fan stared at the apple — its appearance, shape, texture — then took out a scalpel and cut it open.

After carefully comparing the inside, he said: "It's from the neighboring province, Donglin's apples. Wait, that place is a provincial capital — what are you sending me there for?"

"To give a class to a group of police officers."

Chen Fan was speechless. He said: "A police academy and the police are two different things, Teacher — you know that better than I do."

"I know. The other side specifically requested you by name. Think it over yourself — I already accepted the job for you."

"I'm not going."

"The class will be good — come back and I'll promote you."
