Here are some misleading statements that the protagonist may use in a novel involving legal fraud to shake trust in a case: ### About evidence 1. **Date tampering** - The protagonist claims that the date on key physical evidence was recorded incorrectly. For example, a surveillance video originally showed the suspect near the crime scene at a key time, but the protagonist produced a video file with a modified date, saying that the original date was wrong and the suspect was not actually at the scene at that time, misleading the police into thinking that the timeline was distorted, thus casting doubt on the relevance of the entire case. 2. **Distortion of witness memory** - The protagonist finds a witness and psychologically induces him to imply that the witness has misremembered some key details. For example, the witness saw the suspect wearing a dark coat, but the protagonist cleverly guides the witness to recall that he saw a light-colored coat at the time, and constantly emphasizes this detail, causing confusion when the police build a case based on the witness' testimony, because the change of this key feature may make the entire suspect's image and whereabouts unclear, shaking trust in the existing case reasoning. 3. **Falsifying evidence relevance** - The protagonist creates some false evidence that seems to be related to the case, such as finding some strange items with the suspect's fingerprints near the crime scene, but in fact these items were placed by the protagonist in advance and deliberately misled the police. Then the protagonist uses complex statements and sophistry to make the police mistakenly believe that these items are the key clues of the case, thereby leading the investigation in the wrong direction, making the originally clear case complicated and confusing, and making everyone doubt whether the evidence they have obtained can really prove the suspect's guilt. ### About the suspect 1. **Fabricating an alibi** - The protagonist fabricates a seemingly reasonable alibi for the suspect. For example, claiming that the suspect was partying with a group of friends at the time of the crime, and these friends will follow the protagonist's instructions to make false testimony for the suspect. The protagonist describes in detail the location of the party, the content of the activities, and the specific whereabouts of each person, so that the police spend a lot of time and energy to verify this false alibi during the investigation, thereby distracting attention from the real crime facts and making the police waver in whether the suspect really committed the crime. 2. **Discrediting the victim** - The protagonist discredits the victim by spreading rumors, digging up some shameful things in the victim's past and exaggerating them. For example, if the victim had some financial disputes or minor violations, the protagonist exaggerates these things into serious crimes, implying that the victim may be a person with bad morals who deserves the punishment. Then the police are guided to investigate the victim's past, trying to make the police believe that the victim's own problems may have caused the case, thereby reducing the credibility of the suspect's criminal charges. 3. **Misleading the suspect's identity** - The protagonist confuses the suspect's identity information, making the police mistakenly believe that two people with similar looks or similar names are involved in the case, and mistakenly attributes some evidence to another seemingly related "suspect". For example, the suspect has a twin brother, and the protagonist deliberately creates some clues pointing to the twin brother, claiming that he is the real criminal, and makes the police ignore the real suspect, causing the police to misjudge the main suspect in the case, and then shake the trust foundation of the entire case. ### About the background and motivation of the case 1. **Fictitious conflict of interest** - The protagonist fabricates a complex conflict of interest background, claiming that there is a huge economic conflict of interest or business competition between the victim and the suspect, making the case look like a revenge act caused by a conflict of interest. For example, the victim is about to launch a new product that will seriously impact the market share of the suspect's company, so the suspect has a strong motive to kill. The protagonist uses a series of detailed false business data and competitive strategies to support this fictional background, making the police and the public believe that the case is based on this common conflict of interest, thereby questioning the existing criminal motives and case trends constructed based on other evidence. 2. **Distortion of social relations** - The protagonist distorts the social relationship between the suspect and the victim, claiming that they are close friends or relatives, rather than the hostile relationship identified by the police. Then make up some stories about the deep feelings between the two and the past mutual assistance experience, making it difficult for the police to understand why two people with such a relationship would commit a crime. For example, the suspect is the benefactor who has been supporting the victim's schooling for many years, and the two are like father and son. Such a statement will make the police have great doubts about the original criminal motives, and then re-examine the evidence and reasoning process of the entire case. 3. **Creating a false social hotspot** - The protagonist uses the media and the Internet to create a false social hotspot event that seems to be related to the case, diverting the public's attention to other directions. For example, during the case, the protagonist spreads some rumors on social media, claiming that there is a mysterious criminal organization operating in the city, specifically targeting people in a specific profession, and the victim happens to belong to the professional group pointed out by the rumor. When investigating the case, the police will be disturbed by this false hotspot and have to pay attention to this non-existent criminal organization, thereby distracting their attention from the real case, causing the public and the police to doubt the investigation direction and evidence relevance of the existing case, and shaking their support for the case.
