“At first, we were influenced by our preconceived notions, thinking that the theft of the proposal must be related to Xin Lan. When I recalled this principle and connected it to the sudden power outage that night, along with the damage to Luo Xinyu's office air conditioning and computer, the truth of the case became clear.” 0
 
I realized, “Are you saying that the sudden power outage caused the computer and the new air conditioning unit to reset, and then the warm air from the air conditioner blew the proposal under the cabinet across the room? And the damage to the computer and air conditioner was also due to this sudden outage?” 0
 
Yang Fan nodded, and beside him, Luo Xinyu smiled knowingly. 0
 
“So what about this case?” Xiao He brought everyone back to the topic. 0
 
“Exactly!” Yang Fan's confident voice confirmed what everyone suspected. “The two sides of the glass represent two different cases!” 0
 
After a brief silence, I raised an objection: “But everyone at Xinlan Company knows that Li Jiaqi and He Shuang were once lovers, right?” 0
 
“That’s where the misdirection lies,” Yang Fan replied. “I later investigated again and found that after Li Jiaqi and He Shuang broke up, there was no significant emotional turmoil; in fact, he often spent time with Liu Yuhan. Of course, the best proof of this is Li Jiaqi's roommate—Fan Zhiqiang.” He glanced at Fan Zhiqiang, who had been overlooked until now; the sharp-looking man did not deny it. 0
 
“Then why did the blood on Li Jiaqi's knife match He Shuang's?” I asked next. 0
 
“There are only a few blood types; it's quite likely for two people to have the same blood type,” Yang Fan looked at Xiao He. 0
 
Xiao He nodded and said, “Old Zhao has already tested it; Liu Yuhan and He Shuang both have type A blood.” 0
 
Yang Fan nodded and continued, “In that case, I might as well treat them as two separate cases. Moreover, there was a female student missing from the Dance Classroom, so I focused my investigation on her.” 0
 
“And that’s when you asked us to find that medical report for the knife wound?” Chen Yin interjected. 0
 
 
"Yes," Yang Fan said, "but I didn't expect Liu Yuhan to die behind the Dance Classroom." He sighed and continued, "Then I suspected Fan Zhiqiang based on two matching knife wounds." 0
 
"Suspected me?" Fan Zhiqiang replied coldly. "I didn't do anything. I just had one last drink with Li Jiaqi." 0
 
Yang Fan ignored Fan Zhiqiang's defense and continued, "Actually, I checked the two bodies at the time of the incident and found that the cut surfaces were similar, likely made by the same knife. It was only when I saw the Knife Set that Chen Yin and the others brought back that I understood the reason." 0
 
I recalled that Knife Set and thought there was nothing particularly special about it. Yang Fan noticed my confusion and explained, "That set of knives is a German-imported kitchen Knife Set. Its biggest feature is that among the various knives, there are two that are identical!" 0
 
"How do you know?!" Fan Zhiqiang exclaimed instinctively. 0
 
Yang Fan explained, "As a professional who often deals with homicide cases, knowing about various Knife Sets is just basic knowledge." He looked at Fan Zhiqiang and continued, "After you and Li Jiaqi finished drinking, I suspect both of you were drunk. You started talking about women, and coincidentally, Liu Yuhan had just broken up with Li Jiaqi, while you had just been rejected by He Shuang after confessing." 0
 
Fan Zhiqiang stood frozen in place, instinctively repeating his earlier question, "How do you know?" 0
 
Yang Fan ignored him and continued, "So you both reached a consensus to kill these two women!" 0
 
Before I could fully grasp what Yang Fan meant, Chen Yin suddenly rushed out beside me. She raised her long leg and kicked Fan Zhiqiang to the ground. The sharp-faced man was now lying there, blood gushing from the wound caused by Sister Yin's high heel, looking utterly disheveled. 0
 
Xiao He and I hurried over to pull Chen Yin back, warning her that this was illegal. Fan Zhiqiang lay on the ground, seemingly stunned by Yang Fan's words. 0
