The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 532 How could you possibly know...?

It's quite a coincidence that both of their mechs have signs of damage on their upper arms, but there are doubts about their individual damage.

Dela's mech arms were both broken in the middle. It is said that he encountered a strong current underwater, and while trying to escape, he fell hard and was accidentally dragged by the current, breaking both arms. When he was pulled out, both arms were already badly damaged, and it is estimated that a pair of mech arms will need to be replaced.

Springer's mech suffered a severe blow to its entire arm, from the deltoid to the rib area, resulting in large areas being missing. The entire left arm was missing, and the right arm was also completely severed at the upper arm position.

It is said that neither of them passed the exam, and they were pulled out of the water by the military. When the military found them, they were in a critical situation from which they could not escape.

In other words, both of the mechs they were piloting were missing both arms, which doesn't match the traces left by the nuclear fusion magnetic levitation design on the feet that Jiang Hui mentioned, since they had lost their arms.

This is too much of a coincidence! Every single spot where traces were left was either damaged or had its outer parts detached. To say it wasn't a ghost... even a ghost wouldn't believe it!

After identifying these two individuals, the evidence collection department retrieved the two mechs they used for the exam and examined them separately. However, the more they investigated, the more confused they became... because not only were the traces she mentioned above undetectable, but there was also no more definitive evidence, and they couldn't get any information out of these two individuals.

Actually, getting this far was already quite difficult. Even after Jiang Hui provided so much clearly unilateral evidence pointing to the Ming Dynasty, finding two suspects within a few stars is extremely rare in interstellar law cases. Therefore, Imelda is willing to call it a typical case in her professional career.

In her past experience, murder cases like this were rarely solved on the same day; completing the legal process within three months was considered very good. After all, with the development of interstellar technology, people's methods and tools for committing crimes have also improved, making them less easy to find.

They've clearly reached a stalemate—unless they take the two men back for formal interrogation. However, there's currently no conclusive evidence to suggest the suspects have committed a crime, so they cannot be considered suspects, and the military law department has no authority to investigate them.

The only option then is to use more professional and precise instruments for direct comparison, such as taking samples from relevant parts of the affected mech, conducting comparative analysis of the composition and reaction, and then comparing them with samples from another mech.

If the two sides did indeed engage in fierce combat, both mechs would retain some degree of residue. Even if some parts fell off, it's impossible for there to be absolutely no contact. Especially with the mech materials, contact at certain points would leave unique, indelible marks…

These are all things that the military legal department needs to investigate and verify later. After all, to truly convict someone, you can't just rely on testimony and visible evidence; that would be too arbitrary.

Just as Imelda was about to call a halt, Jiang Hui made a request, saying he wanted to see the two of their mechs for himself.

Actually, there is no such step. Evidence analysis and collection are the work of the military legal department. No case requires the victim to identify the evidence themselves; even if they were, it would only serve as corroborating evidence.

However, if Jiang Hui wants to see it, she can, as long as she doesn't directly touch the evidence. Since the initial evidence presentation process has already taken place, Jiang Hui looking at it again might introduce later information, compromising the impartiality of the comparison. Therefore, the evidence she sees from the mecha now cannot be used as supplementary evidence.

If she wanted to provide evidence, she would have to offer new evidence. Jiang Hui nodded silently, not discouraged by the restrictions in the other party's words. She actually followed the staff of the evidence collection department and circled the outside a few times, observing it from a distance, just like when she observed the pine and cypress trees, her eyes filled with thought.

The room was quiet, and countless eyes were fixed on Jiang Hui.

After realizing that the matter was largely unrelated to them, the remaining candidates were still not allowed to leave and were forced to stay and watch the whole thing unfold. In truth, even if they were asked to leave now, they probably wouldn't be able to leave in peace; after all, who could leave a place where something so serious had happened right before their eyes and act as if nothing had happened?

Although they were annoyed by the near-offensive search they had just endured, their desire for the truth soon outweighed their emotional considerations and compelled them to continue reading.

Of course, they were extremely curious about who had initiated this, especially after discovering that it was an unfamiliar, not fully awakened individual, which made their feelings even more complex. Many people whispered among themselves about this young man who had never appeared in the upper echelons of the capital, or guessed which family he belonged to…

While they were speculating, Jiang Hui had finished observing the two mechs and returned to her original position, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing that the person involved didn't say anything, Imelda wasn't surprised. After all, no matter how intelligent or capable the other party was, it was impossible to go back to the past just by looking at the evidence... She was more inclined to believe that the other party was unwilling to accept that they could only go today and wanted to take another look.

The judge and other military legal staff had completed the scene preparations for today's case and were thinking of concluding the day's investigation.

Imelda then questioned the two individuals separately about the relevant matters and clues, recording them in their files in the hopes of adding a few more clues to today's case.

Jiang Hui moved closer, but she didn't pay attention, thinking the child wanted to say something more. Unexpectedly, the child suddenly attacked: "Hey, don't—"

This lawyer, being an administrative officer, wasn't as agile as a trained soldier and couldn't stop Jiang Hui as quickly as Zong Ting. He could only manage a brief attempt to obstruct her. But Jiang Hui's movements were too swift and fierce; he couldn't stop her immediately.

As a freshman at the capital university, Della had naturally received professional training. Jiang Hui's skill level was actually not up to par, but her movements were extremely fast and ruthless, making her highly aggressive. Della instinctively tried to block, managing to intercept Jiang Hui's attacks with several parries.

The fairly handsome young man frowned, a hint of barely perceptible malice emanating from his brows: "What do you mean?!"

“Sir…you’re left-handed, aren’t you?” Jiang Hui said casually.

Whether she hadn't expected her to bring this up or her words had revealed something, the other person's expression changed slightly. Then, their tone became louder, and they shouted angrily, "What exactly do you want?! How do you know I'm left-handed or right-handed... You're not suspecting me, are you?!"
