The First Mist Chapter 71: Protect
After crossing the cordon, accompanied by the patrol officers, the two came into the mansion.
After walking around, they came to a shadow outside the mansion.
"There are signs of the ruins-breaking device being activated here."
One of them held a pocket watch-like instrument in his hand and looked ahead. He said indifferently: "Such obvious marks, the technique is very immature."
"But judging from the results of the forensic autopsy conducted by the Inspection Office, the method of murder was very sophisticated." another person said in a low voice.
"You mean..."
"Working together?"
…
…
The next day, at the Black Light Ruins secret bureau.
In the director's office.
"What happened to alarm your city guard?" Liu Jichuan was making tea in the office. He pushed the tea in front of the two judgment guards in silver armor in front of him and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Chief."
One of them said, his tone a little stiff, "A family massacre occurred in the city, and it was done by the ruins killer."
"Really? That's a pity."
Liu Jichuan's face was full of regret.
"According to our investigation, this is most likely a revenge murder!"
The man frowned and said, "We looked through the records of that family. There are only two groups of ruins cutters we have come into contact with in the past three months. One group is completely missing, and it seems that something happened. The other group is Team 17 of your Ruins Secret Bureau."
Liu Jichuan nodded and asked, "What evidence can be found at the scene?"
"without."
"The murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely skilled. He used the characteristics of the ruins force to kill people. He stuffed the pen and the cat into the bodies of ordinary people, draining the ruins force and causing death. No traces were left, but there were signs of the ruins device being activated at the scene."
Liu Jichuan nodded slightly and said, "So you suspect that it was someone from our Xumi Bureau who did it?"
"Based on the people they have come into contact with so far, Team 17 of your bureau is the key suspect." The middle-aged judge guard said solemnly, "Although this family was wiped out and even the nanny was not spared, when we were investigating, a neighbor said that he heard a quarrel there the day before yesterday."
"And the day before yesterday was when your team 17 went there to carry out the mission."
Liu Jichuan pondered, "So you suspect that our team members had a conflict with them, and then held a grudge and wiped them out?"
“That’s very possible!”
"Is there any evidence?" Liu Jichuan asked in confusion.
The middle-aged judge guard choked slightly, his face changed, and he said: "Director, you don't want to protect them, do you? We all exist . I hope you can understand!"
Liu Jichuan shook his head slightly: "Of course I won't protect them. Even if I committed a crime, you can arrest me, but the key is... arresting people requires evidence, right? What if you arrest the wrong good guy and let the bad guy go unpunished? Wouldn't that make you an accomplice of the bad guy?"
"You are clearly protecting..."
The younger judge guard next to him couldn't help but say angrily.
Liu Jichuan's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the young guard beside him.
"As a trial guard, you should develop the habit of speaking with evidence. Besides, you also know that we are the Ruins Secret Bureau, serving the safety of the bottom city. We are not the Fog People who can be convicted with just one sentence."
The middle-aged trial guard stopped the impulsive young guard next to him.
He stared at Liu Jichuan and said, "We are here today to search for evidence. There are stolen coins and jewelry at the scene. It should be too late to sell them in such a short time. If we can check Team 17 and find out what they were doing last night, I believe we can clear their name."
Liu Jichuan looked calm and said, "They are innocent to begin with. The so- suspicion is just your guess, which doesn't count. As for the search you mentioned... that's unlikely. After all, we are regular personnel working for the city and are protected by the law. Your city guard station should not be qualified to search for people in my station at will, right?"
"The chief really won't allow us to do so?" The middle-aged trial guard stared at Liu Jichuan.
Liu Jichuan smiled slightly and said, "The tea is cold, drink some tea."
"No need, enjoy your meal, Director."
The middle-aged trial guard immediately stood up and pulled the young guard away.
"Brother Cao, why?"
After leaving the room, the young trial guard was puzzled: "It is clear that if we just search, we will definitely find evidence. I don't believe that they will not reveal their tracks under our interrogation. Although they are not normal people, based on our experience in handling cases..."
"It's useless." The middle-aged judge shook his head: "If this old Liu is determined to protect me, this matter will basically end here."
The young guard was stunned and asked, "So, there really is a problem here?"
“Basically.”
"Can……"
The middle-aged trial guard patted him on the shoulder and shook his head slightly.
The young guard opened his mouth slightly, but no words came out. He understood.
Soon, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "One day, I will dispel all the darkness in the bottom city, let the true light shine into every corner, and burn these dirty hearts! !"
The middle-aged judge guard twitched his lips, glanced at the young man beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then you must protect yourself well. Let's go."
After seeing the two people downstairs start the car and leave, Li Meina came over, made a cup of fresh tea for Liu Jichuan, and said softly: "The captain of Team 17 is dead. I heard that the mission this time was to help that family find the cat. It was a small mission that was not worth mentioning, but they unexpectedly encountered a C-level market..."
Liu Jichuan picked up the tea and sniffed the fragrance.
"According to the mission report of Team 17, the C-level Xu was killed by Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao." Li Meina's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "I also read about this family murder case. I heard that the deceased couple was pregnant with a cat..."
She looked at Liu Jichuan, and the rest was self-evident.
Liu Jichuan blew gently on the teacup and shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
"unimportant?"
"It doesn't matter whether they did it or not. The person who has the courage and ability to do this is either Mo Xiaoxiao or Xu Shen. To be honest, I hope it was Xu Shen. After all, I heard that his technique is quite skillful. Does this mean that Xu Shen is even better than we thought?" Liu Jichuan said with a smile.
Li Meina was stunned.
"If it was Mo Xiaoxiao who did it, there is no need for the city guard to investigate. After all, would they dare to arrest anyone from the Mo family ? Even if she is an abandoned child of the Mo family, she cannot be sent to prison. The honor of the Gao family cannot be damaged in the slightest..."
Liu Jichuan said softly, "As for Xu Shen... he is very outstanding. If the City Guard wants to detain such a talent, it would be better to ask their director to come out and talk to me in person."
Li Meina was speechless. It seemed that the director was very optimistic about Xu Shen. Although there were no clues at the scene, based on the off-site information, she could basically judge that the murderer was the newcomer, Xu Shen.
pretty close.
"It's just one or two rich people who died. It's nothing special. They are just parasites of the city anyway. They are fattened by the cake. When they die, others will take over their livelihoods. For the residents of the city, there will be no change or loss. For their employees, it's just a change of boss."
"But he is just a newcomer. He actually dares to do such a thing. Isn't it too bold?" Li Meina couldn't help but say.
Liu Jichuan seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "It is indeed time to check his mental state. As long as he is not mentally ill, it will be fine."
"That means, if he killed someone under normal circumstances, it would be okay?" Li Meina was speechless.
"It's just killing people. Do you think it's harder to kill a person or to behead a ruin? In other words, do you think the scene of killing a person is more cruel, or is it more cruel to kill a person?"
Li Meina was stunned and speechless.
…
…
The next day.
In an office of the city-state guard station.
"What? Case closed? Was it done by a dirty guy?"
Hearing the words of the middle-aged trial guard in front of them, the seven or eight people in the office were shocked. They were relatives of the deceased in this case, simply put, aunt, uncle, sister, brother-in-law, etc.
"Are you kidding me? They died so tragically, and yet the case was closed so easily? It's only been two days!"
"That's right, have you investigated? Are your silver armors worthy of you?!"
"I heard that the bodies of people killed by those filthy creatures would be torn and tattered, but their bodies are still intact. They must have been killed by those people."
Everyone was talking at once, extremely excited.
The middle-aged trial guard silently put down the file and said, "Dear relatives, I know you are very upset, but please don't be upset for now."
