   Reader note

   Among these more than two dozen crime themes, the criminal methods are astonishingly diverse. Some criminals use mysterious murder methods, carefully arrange crime scenes, and create various illusions to mislead the police in their investigations. They are like directors on the stage, turning the crime scene into a stage full of puzzles. For example, they may use chemicals cleverly to make death appear natural. Through precise dosage control and timing, the victim appears to have died of a sudden illness under certain circumstances. These chemicals may be colorless and odorless and difficult to detect, requiring forensic scientists to use advanced detection technology to detect clues. Or use complex mechanical devices to trigger deadly traps at specific times. Criminals may set up sophisticated traps at the victim's residence or frequented places. When the victim inadvertently triggers a certain condition, the trap will be activated, causing fatal injuries. These mechanical devices may be hidden in walls, furniture or daily objects, requiring on-site surveyors to have keen observation and professional knowledge to discover them. Others involve complex economic crimes, defrauding large amounts of money by falsifying accounts, manipulating the stock market, and illegally raising funds. These criminals often have advanced financial knowledge and computer skills. They are like ghosts in the digital world. Forging accounts is one of their common methods. By tampering with financial data, fabricating transactions, etc., They create the illusion that the company is profitable and attract investors to invest. Manipulating the stock market is more complex. They may use multiple accounts to conduct large volumes of buying and selling, creating a false impression of active trading, raising the stock price and then selling to make a profit. Illegal fund-raising takes advantage of people's greed and uses high rates of return as bait to attract a large number of people to invest money and then abscond with the money. Cruel violent criminals rely on their strong bodies and cold hearts to use violence to threaten the lives of others. They are like beasts in the dark, ready to pounce on innocent victims. They may suddenly attack the victim in a remote corner, choosing places with weak surveillance and low traffic, leaving the victim defenseless. Or create chaos in public places and take the opportunity to commit crimes. For example, they can cause panic in crowded places such as shopping malls and stations, and then take advantage of the chaos to rob and injure people. These violent criminals often act quickly, without giving victims and those around them time to react, causing great panic to society. Cunning online fraudsters take advantage of people's trust and curiosity to defraud people of their property and personal information by sending false information and fake websites. They are like scammers in the online world, constantly changing their fraud tactics to make it difficult for people to detect them. They may send emails or text messages that appear to come from formal channels such as banks and government agencies to induce people to click on links and enter personal information and passwords to steal money. Or they can set up fake shopping websites and investment platforms, using low-priced goods and high rates of return as bait to attract people to be deceived. These online fraudsters usually hide behind virtual networks and are difficult to track and catch.
