Chapter 244: Memory Recall Capsule! Evidence Left Behind at the Cost of One’s Life...

Police station.

”How much do you still remember about the situation at the scene back then?”

Xiao He sat on the chair, carefully recalling: ”There was heavy smoke at the time, then lots of bloodstains on the ground, and plenty of black ash... Cheng Hongwen was lying on the floor. I hardly saw anything else. After gesturing with the brother who was rescuing people together, I carried him out.”

Although the hotel room scene was extinguished in time, the fire and sprayed water had destroyed many traces, even messing up the scene completely. So almost only Xiao He and Cheng Bei, who had rushed in, knew the condition of the first crime scene after the homicide.

It was just that with the swirling smoke and high temperatures back then, if not wrapped in a fire blanket, Xiao He couldnʼt guarantee his skin wouldnʼt get scorched and curled up.

And with the scene in complete chaos, let alone noticing anything...

Wait, thatʼs not right.

Perhaps he had noticed, but it was buried in his subconscious, and he couldnʼt recall it himself now.

Xiao He thought of something.

—The Memory Recall Capsule!
[Memory Recall Capsule details: The deeply impressive first crime scene remains vividly memorable no matter how much time passes—it can even help you recall criminal details from that time, allowing you to construct lies and testimony more perfectly.]

Xiao He had drawn several of these before, but they hadnʼt been useful, so he had forgotten about them.

He had analyzed earlier that this thing essentially enhances memory, allowing a person to recall certain details that might have been overlooked in their memory within a short time.

But this thing was basically useless, and using one meant having one less. Xiao He couldnʼt bear to use points to draw such useless items now, so his hoarder instincts exploded, and he simply saved them all.

This time, it could actually come in handy.

However, the capsuleʼs original intention was for Xiao He to revisit his own crime scene to escape legal sanctions, but now Xiao He wanted to use it to revisit someone elseʼs crime scene and try to find important clues to catch that murderer.

Ahem, although the usage seemed to have shifted a tiny bit... if it works, it works!

Xiao He decisively used one Memory Recall Capsule, then closed his eyes.

At that moment, it was as if he had returned to the fire scene.

The bloody footprints on the ground, the black ash on the walls, the person lying on the floor, the burning flames on the sofa...

Xiao He lifted his head, his gaze falling on the curtains opposite.

Behind the curtains, the window glass was slightly open a crack, and a not very obvious bloody footprint remained in that position, but it was quickly covered by the burning flames of the curtains, with the black charred remains quietly concealing any trace of its existence.

Xiao He squatted down again, his line of sight falling on the fiercely burning sofa, examining it carefully.

Although the thick smoke in the fire scene blocked most of his vision, the smoke in his memory couldnʼt irritate his eyes, so by observing carefully at this moment, Xiao He discovered that the main thing burning on the sofa at that time was a laptop computer.

—But unfortunately, what he saw now was basically things the police could investigate.

Like the footprint on the window.

At that time, the hotel room door had been sealed with a wet towel, indicating the murderer didnʼt leave through the main door. So the only place to leave in the entire hotel was the window—of course, not jumping directly from the window, but climbing along the window edge to the adjacent room.

The scene was chaotic then;people from several surrounding rooms came out to check the situation and quickly left their rooms. The murderer only needed to wait until the person in the next room left, change clothes, or simply put on a bathrobe to create the illusion of being a hotel guest, then could openly walk out of the room and leave the scene.

The police only needed to compare surveillance and hotel check-in information one by one to definitely identify the target murderer.

And the ignition source was even easier to investigate;they didnʼt even need the police to investigate—the fire department could provide a responsibility certificate with relevant circumstances, clearly reporting the ignition source, cause of fire... everything.

Then what help could he still provide?
