Chapter 210

Chapter 1: Murder on a Rainy Night The rain fell in a steady drizzle, pattering against the city streets and kicking up patches of muddy splash. Lin Yu was a young and promising criminal police officer who, shortly after graduating from the police academy, had been assigned to the criminal investigation detachment of this bustling metropolis. Filled with burning passion, he was eager to make his mark in this position, punishing the wicked and upholding justice. That evening, just as Lin Yu was preparing to head home after work, he suddenly received an emergency call. A murder had taken place in an old residential compound on the outskirts of the city. Shrugging off his fatigue, Lin Yu immediately rushed to the scene with his colleagues. The crime scene was a cramped rented room, messy and filled with a pungent smell of blood. The victim was a young woman, disheveled, lying dead across the bedroom floor. There was a deep ligature mark around her neck, clearly indicating she had been strangled to death. Her eyes were wide open, and a look of terror still lingered on her face, as if she had seen something extremely horrifying before she died.
