Chapter One: A Hellish Beginning – I Became a Murder Suspect

Jinling.

As soon as Ye Shaohong woke up, he smelled a strong stench of blood. Before he could even open his eyes, waves of unbearable pain surged up from his chest and fingertips.

Then countless memories flooded into my mind.

The unbearable pain gave Ye Shaohong the illusion that he was about to die again.

He clutched his head, trembling with pain.

He couldn't help but let out suppressed roars.

Ye Shaohong only recovered after merging with the original owner's memories.

The truth of the matter has been clarified.

He crossed.

He was transported to early 1937 and possessed the body of a murder suspect.

And the place he was in now was No. 53 Chicken and Goose Lane, the famous secret service office in later generations.

This dark and damp room is the detention cell of the Operations Division.

As for the reason he was arrested, it's actually quite simple.

The night before last, after the class reunion ended, he returned home alone. On the way, when he passed No. 27 Sanshan Street, he needed to urinate, so he ran to the corner alley to relieve himself.

It was this act of urinating that dragged him into a murder case.

What's that old saying again?

When bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems. Who could have imagined that a murder would occur at No. 27 Sanshan Street that very night!

Ma Tao, the deputy director of the Investigation Office of the Special Service stationed at the Central Military Academy, and his family of eight, all perished except for his wife Zhao Xiufen, who managed to escape.

They didn't even spare five-year-old children.

The next morning, Ma Tao's wife ran out of the house, her clothes stained with blood, and was stopped by early-rising police officers. Only then was this horrific family annihilation case exposed to the world.

When the news reached the Special Service Department, it immediately alarmed Dai Yunong.

In his office at Villa No. 1, Honggongci, he personally appointed and ordered his officers to solve the case within a specified time and avenge the victims of the Special Service Department and their families.

With a large number of people thrown out, eyewitnesses were quickly found.

The neighbor next door to the Ma family said that after nightfall yesterday, their family went out for a walk. When they returned late at night, they saw a young man in military uniform sneaking out from the corner of the courtyard at No. 27.

In that fleeting glance, he saw the man's figure and appearance; he was probably a Huangpu Military Academy student who had rented a house nearby.

And so, because of a single act of urination, Ye Shaohong was arrested and imprisoned in the Special Operations Section's jail.

He was subjected to repeated torture.

They forced him to confess all his accomplices.

This is a classic case of being at home when trouble comes from nowhere.

The original owner came from a well-off family. Although the three years of military academy had washed away his spoiled habits, he had never suffered any grievances since childhood, so how could he endure such humiliation?

They had never been subjected to such severe torture before.

He teetered on the brink of death several times, fainting only to be revived by being doused with salt water. Finally, he was dragged like a dead dog and thrown into a damp, cold dungeon. In a moment of despair, the original owner tore off his tattered clothes, twisted them into a rope, and hung it on the iron bars, taking his own life.

In the end, Ye Shaohong from Earth benefited from the deal.

After figuring out the whole story, Ye Shaohong collapsed to the ground, looked up at the sky, and almost burst into tears.

What a hellish start.

Imagine if he were to escape this ordeal and save his life, after going through this ordeal with the secret service, would he be able to leave unscathed?

Even if they don't lose an arm or a leg, they'll probably be badly injured.

Once the news spreads and others know that he almost lost his life because of a pee, will he ever have the face to show his face again?

"No, I have to find a way to clear myself of the murder suspicion while also completely hiding this matter from the root."

"How should we do it?" "That's it! Mind mapping!"

Before he transmigrated, Ye Shaohong was a huge fan of crime and suspense dramas.

Although he has never personally participated in solving cases, his years of study and research have taught him a lot of crime-solving skills.

During his university years, he also used these simple methods to help the school solve two theft cases.

He even participated in a detective competition organized by the public.

In the end, he was fortunate enough to win the championship.

His story eventually reached the ears of an online novelist, who, through artistic embellishment and deliberate exaggeration, made it a hit.

It was also adapted into a web series, which caused a sensation.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong immediately took action.

He first went to the corner of the cell wall, pried off a piece of broken brick with his hand, and then used the brick as a pen to write and draw on the wall by the dim light in the cell.

"Don't rush, take it one step at a time."

"First, we need to determine why they suspect me."

"First, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and due to special circumstances, I was wrongly identified as the murderer."

"This question is not difficult to answer. There were many people at the class reunion that day, and they can all be my witnesses. They can also testify to how much I drank and what the situation was like at the time."

"Considering the distance between the restaurant and Sanshan Street, as well as the people I met on the road, and estimating the time, I actually didn't have a chance to kill anyone."

"As for the witness who accused me of acting suspiciously, his testimony also contained obvious errors."

"Returning home late at night, a hurried glance, the memory left in that brief moment is bound to be blurry. Coupled with the coercion from the secret service personnel, and the fear in his heart, his answer will inevitably be deeply influenced by his personal feelings and emotions."

“This raises the possibility of coercion, so his testimony is not very credible, and I can use this as a basis for rebuttal.”

"Secondly, the special relationship between me and the deceased Ma Tao."

"That's the real reason they suspect me. I've known the deceased Ma Tao for a long time. He was the deputy director of the inspection office at the Central Military Academy, and I was a trainee. We even had a heated argument over some minor issues."

"This is not private information. Many people in the military academy have seen or heard about it, which is why they suspect that I am seeking revenge."

"That's a difficult question to answer..."

"The shared school affiliation, past experiences, coincidental timing, and ample motive—the chain of evidence is nearly complete!"

"I simply cannot give a proper explanation."

His murmured self ended there, and he stopped writing. Looking at the wall full of brief descriptions, Ye Shaohong frowned.

Trouble!

With such a complete chain of evidence, he was already in a dead end, and under these circumstances, there was absolutely no way he could clear his name.

"No, there might still be a chance."

"If I can find a loophole in this case, I can break through the whole problem and find a way out."

Where is the vulnerability?

Ye Shaohong pondered deeply. He didn't want to give up, so he could only do his best to find any possible errors or omissions in the known clues.

This process is destined to be incredibly difficult.

The more he thought, the more focused he became, and gradually he forgot about time and everything around him. Naturally, he didn't notice a figure quietly appearing at the door of his cell.

The visitor was a captain.

He had clearly been standing outside the cell door for some time, and had heard Ye Shaohong's mutterings and seen the messy and scribbled mind map on the wall.

Having heard Ye Shaohong's grief-stricken roar, he learned of Ye Shaohong's injustice and gradually developed a bit of curiosity about him.

The captain wanted to see how this boy, trapped in a desperate situation, would break free and save himself.

So he didn't shout.

Just watch quietly.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.

Just as the captain's patience was about to run out and he was about to turn and leave, Ye Shaohong, who had been silent in the cell, suddenly raised his head. His eyes shone, as if he had thought of something.

Under the captain's gaze, Ye Shaohong walked back to the wall, swept his arm, and wrote a few more lines of text.

"I've figured out a way to break this deadlock!" [New book needs nurturing. If you, dear readers, find it enjoyable, please add it to your favorites and vote to support it!!!!]
