How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 234: First Detective Strikes Down the Divine Altar
Chapter 234: Chapter 234: First Detective Strikes Down the Divine Altar
Captain Shen nodded slightly.
He Jiang walked towards He Bin’s corpse.
He placed his finger on He Bin’s forehead, carefully inspected it, unbuttoned He Bin’s shirt, traced a circle lightly with his finger, and slowly looked up: "Ancient Martial technique, the victim’s heart was shattered, broken into four pieces."
The crowd erupted...
"Ancient Martial technique! I’ve heard that Fengcheng’s detective happens to practice Ancient Martial."
"Killing with Ancient Martial, no external injuries, using hidden force to shatter the heart, such a sinister and secretive method, too terrifying."
"Only Jiangcheng’s Detective could recognize this method of killing."
"Is this a grand contest between Fengcheng’s detective and Jiangcheng’s Detective?"
"This is a grand battle between crime and anti-crime..."
Discussions were abuzz.
Within Ding Ruoshui’s eyes, there was deep suspicion—she was beginning to waver.
Could it really be him? Because this is something he could do, and among those present, perhaps only he could do it!
It wasn’t just her; even Shen Yinchuan was starting to waver.
He originally believed in Lin Xiaosu.
So, he hoped that Jiangcheng’s First Detective could provide a criminal conclusion to help clear Lin Xiaosu of the murder suspicion.
Jiangcheng’s First Detective indeed gave a different conclusion.
But did this conclusion clear Lin Xiaosu?
No!
On the contrary, it instantly amplified Lin Xiaosu’s suspicion of murder.
There aren’t many Ancient Martial Cultivators in the world, and he is one of them!
Killing with Ancient Martial also requires physical contact, and he is the only one!
Lin Xiaosu is a smart person, unlikely to openly murder in public, but if he had some invisible, sinister means, he might act fearlessly...
A criminal conclusion perfectly explained the last doubts about today’s murder case...
Lin Xiaosu’s eyes locked onto He Jiang, as if seeing him for the first time...
He Jiang also stared at him: "Detective Lin, I know detectives solve many cases and often become overconfident, thinking their meticulously planned murder schemes won’t be discovered. Unfortunately, you’re wrong, this is Jiangcheng, not Fengcheng!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the outskirts.
Lin Xiaosu looked over and saw a group of people.
He recognized the leading man from television, Mayor of Jiangcheng, He Gaosheng.
The He Gaosheng on television always appeared confident and approachable, but today, his hair was disheveled, his face pale, striding forward, while guests made way for him.
He Gaosheng approached his son’s corpse, his half-gray hair lightly swaying in the wind.
As he slowly turned his head, he seemed to age ten years instantly...
"Captain Shen!" His voice was low, slightly hoarse.
"Mayor He!"
He Gaosheng exhaled lightly: "Why hasn’t the murderer been arrested yet?"
Shen Yinchuan raised his hand slightly...
The next moment would naturally be the arrest.
Even if he was extremely reluctant, wearing the police uniform, beneath the national emblem, he was not just Shen Yinchuan, but also the duty-bound Captain of the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team...
Lin Xiaosu looked at He Gaosheng: "Mayor He! I understand your feelings, but if you arrest me now, you’ll be falling into the real culprit’s trap, and your son’s death will become a true miscarriage of justice."
He Gaosheng didn’t look at him.
From start to finish, it seemed he never looked at him.
This was the helplessness of a father and a mayor.
If he were just a father, he would strangle the real murderer to death, but as a mayor, he had to abide by the law, though it didn’t mean he could quell all his hatred...
Shen Yinchuan’s heart trembled, his raised hand froze in mid-air, not issuing the final arrest order.
Lin Xiaosu said: "Captain Shen, let me examine the body again!"
"What qualifications do you have..." Director Li was truly enraged.
Most of those present were also furious.
The ironclad evidence was laid before them, you are the real murderer!
You still want to examine the body?
Lin Xiaosu waved his hand lightly: "In everyone’s eyes, He Bin is already dead, and I am the real murderer. Can I kill him again? So, sorry! Whether you agree or not, I am going to examine him!"
With a swish, Lin Xiaosu suddenly vanished!
The next moment, he appeared ten meters away beside He Bin, pointing at He Bin’s forehead!
This speed, this suddenness, even if Shen Yinchuan wanted to stop him, he couldn’t.
Everyone was shocked simultaneously, and two young men behind He Gaosheng stepped in front of him as a natural reaction to sudden danger.
Yes, they felt extreme danger.
With a swoosh, a large group of police officers surrounded them.
Even though Lin Xiaosu’s movement technique was astonishingly fast, and his exposed skills posed a great threat to law enforcers, they still had to take action due to their duty.
The action they took was ten guns pointed at Lin Xiaosu’s head.
Under the gaze of a thousand eyes, Lin Xiaosu raised his head slowly, with a relaxed expression: "Detective He’s examination conclusion is partially correct! The heart is indeed shattered into four pieces! But you are also wrong, it was not shattered by Ancient Martial force, but by a strange insect you’ve never heard of, that cut it apart."
"A strange insect!" He Jiang’s face was mocking: "In this situation, you play a sensational trick, is it meaningful?" freewёbnoνel-com
"Sensational... what if I find this insect?" Lin Xiaosu smirked.
Everyone was stunned...
Clearly a case of murder by Ancient Martial techniques, in a blink, became an insect murder case in his words, how thrilling!
Shen Yinchuan’s eyes brightened: "Little Su, can you find this insect?"
Lin Xiaosu said: "Maybe Detective He considers himself the First Detective, omnipotent! How about I give you the chance to find it?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other...
Has the script changed again?
Changed to a competition of detective skills?
He Jiang’s face darkened: "Detective Lin, you are diverting the topic. In my view, He Bin’s death was due to Ancient Martial techniques, with no evidence of any insect..."
"So Jiangcheng’s First Detective only has this level of insight! How disappointing..." Lin Xiaosu pointed to a person in the crowd: "You, raise your hands and come out!"
All eyes turned.
Shen Yinchuan firmly locked his gaze on the pointed person.
This person, dressed in red, was a young man in a server’s attire.
The person’s face changed suddenly under Lin Xiaosu’s finger...
With a swish, Shen Yinchuan stepped in front of him.
The person twisted his waist and instinctively leaped backward.
Shen Yinchuan raised his hand, grabbed his shoulder, but the person slipped out of Captain Shen’s grasp.
This slip made Shen Yinchuan’s eyes brighten.
Genetic People!
A Genetic Person disguised as a server!
That in itself was a major suspicion.
His hand dropped, doubling his speed.
With a crack, he dislocated the server’s shoulder...
"Search his right pocket!" Lin Xiaosu commanded.
Shen Yinchuan swiftly reached into the person’s right pocket, pulling out its contents. It was simple, just a strange box, neither metallic nor wooden.
"Be careful, inside..." Lin Xiaosu hadn’t finished his sentence.
A green insect suddenly crawled out from a small hole in the box.
It shot towards Shen Yinchuan’s nostril.
Shen Yinchuan was startled, flicked his finger, and the green insect flew to the ground.
This insect was extremely unique, bounced off the ground, and rapidly shot back up at lightning speed, drilling into the server’s nostril.
The server’s eyes widened in disbelief...
He fell backward.
As he fell, the insect crawled out of his nostril again, Shen Yinchuan swiped with his knife, cutting the insect in half, falling to the ground.
Everyone finally saw it clearly, a very strange insect.
Five inches long, like a small green snake, with scale armor, but unlike ordinary reptiles’ armor, it was serrated, and its head was unusual, like a dagger. Even in death, it exuded a chilling aura.
The server fell silently...
With a roar, more than ten people in the front row retreated, overturning tables and chairs.
Lei Xiaojun’s previously calm face turned pale once again.
Upon forensic examination, this server’s death conditions were identical to He Bin’s...
Everyone around was stunned.
"There really was an insect!"
"Judging by this insect’s serrated shape, it could indeed cut a heart into four pieces once inside a human body. Oh my god, this... this method of killing, who could detect it? Only Fengcheng’s detective... There’s always someone better in the detective industry..."
Jiangcheng’s First Detective, He Jiang, lost his usual composed and confident demeanor.
Since the insect appeared, he seemed somewhat lost.
Lin Xiaosu looked at him: "First Detective Mr. He, I didn’t intend to compete with your detective skills, but your conclusion pointed the finger at me, Lin. To clarify the truth, I had to correct your conclusion, sorry!"
His tone was absolutely calm.
But such calm words hit He Jiang like waves of the Yangtze River.
At this moment...
Before a thousand eyes...
In the top commercial district of Jiangcheng...it was like Lin Xiaosu pulled He Jiang down from his pedestal!
"First Detective," had never sounded so grating...
"Mayor He!" Shen Yinchuan took a deep breath, standing in front of He Gaosheng: "The preliminary investigation results show He Bin died from that strange insect. The real killer isn’t Lin Xiaosu, it’s this Genetic Person who controlled the insect, and it killed him in return."
"A Genetic Person?" He Gaosheng said solemnly.
"Yes, it has been confirmed he was a Genetic Person!" Shen Yinchuan said: "A Genetic Person disguised as a server is suspicious in itself."
"... Investigate all the details immediately!" He Gaosheng ordered.
"Yes!"
He Gaosheng slowly turned away, walking out of the crowd, his back showing signs of his age for the first time in his life.
Lin Xiaosu slowly shifted his gaze to Ding Ruoshui.
Ding Ruoshui hadn’t spoken the whole time, but now, she reached out and held Lin Xiaosu’s hand.
Her palm was sweaty.
"Captain Shen, I’ll go with you!" Lin Xiaosu said.
"Let’s go!" Shen Yinchuan gave him a deep look and turned to leave the crowd.
