The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 199: Two Detectives Confronted
Got off the car and headed up the mountain road.

Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Mei arrived at the murder scene.

This place is close to Feiyuzui and is a mountain road. Generally, tourists from the county town will not come here, but local residents will take this shortcut.

The person who died on this road was a local resident.

The police had originally set up a cordon at the scene, but now it has been removed.

A police officer on guard at the roadside told Zhou Mei: "Captain Zhang and the provincial department leaders are up there."

Zhou Mei asked: "The isolation belt has been removed. Has the survey been completed?"

"Yes, that Jiangcheng's top detective demonstrated his tracking skills live. You really should see it with your own eyes. It's so magical."

Zhou Mei looked at Lin Xiaosu.

Lin Xiaosu stared at the crime scene. From this angle, his eyes looked a little empty...

Are you shocked by the title of Jiangcheng's No. 1 detective?
This is Zhou Mei's inner thoughts...

Lin Xiaosu slowly smiled: "What's the magic method?"

The policeman said, "If you follow them now, you should still be able to see them."

This policeman knew Lin Xiaosu.

The Fengcheng police as a whole have a good relationship with Lin Xiaosu and are very tolerant of him unless it involves issues of principle.

At this time, the provincial department leader brought Jiangcheng's number one detective to complete the survey below. After the survey, the alert was lifted. As long as you don't step directly into the road with a small yellow flag, you can go anywhere else.

Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Mei took the normal path.

The road with the small yellow flag is actually through the grass. In other words, the escape route of the beast found by Jiangcheng's number one detective was not a proper road, but a route through the grass.

"Based on your detective vision, is the yellow flag in the correct position?" Zhou Mei asked quietly.

"Absolutely right!" said Lin Xiaosu.

"In other words, the reputation of Jiangcheng's number one detective is well-deserved?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "When they make a move, the commission starts at 20. Without real talent, how can you deserve such a high price?"

Zhou Mei frowned: "Talking about money now? You're not trying to tell me that you're going to charge me for asking me to come here?"

"That's a bit sensitive. I've helped you with things more than once or twice."

Zhou Mei's brows furrowed even more tightly: "Are you still planning to settle the accounts?"

"..."

Lin Xiaosu swallowed the words that came to his lips...

Because he saw a group of people in front of him, and also saw a tracking spectacle...

There are four people on the hillside ahead.

Captain Zhang, the head of the Criminal Investigation Team.

A middle-aged man in police uniform, with three police stars on his shoulders, one more than Captain Zhang, was obviously the leader of the provincial department.

A middle-aged man dressed in white as white as snow, gentle and elegant, was He Jiang, the number one detective in Jiangcheng, whom he had met once in Jiangcheng.

There was also a female police officer following them and taking photos.

Captain Zhang is a little different from before.

His movements were noticeably lighter and more graceful.

He is a person who has undergone genetic modification surgery.

After successful genetic modification, it has been reborn.

But Lin Xiaosu did not focus on this old acquaintance, but instead paid attention to He Jiang, the number one detective in Jiangcheng.

Because He Jiang is performing a somewhat magical tracking technique.

He had a small spray bottle in his hand. He sprayed the water towards the opposite side, and a footprint emitting a faint blue light appeared on the ground.

At this moment, he was still far away from He Jiang, but under the wise eyes of Heaven, he could still see the footprints clearly.

This is a very special footprint.

Paw prints, to be exact.

The four toes are on the ground, and the edges of the claws appear very sharp.

Zhou Mei's vision was far behind. She could only see the action of spraying with a spray bottle on the opposite hillside, but could not see the claw marks revealed by the blue light: "You are also an expert in tracking techniques. Do you know what this spray bottle does?"

"It contains some kind of potion that can make footprints visible."

"In the dark room, there is a potion that can make footprints appear fluorescent, but can it be used in the wild...even under the sun?" Zhou Mei said.

"That's why I'm the number one detective! This is the guy who feeds me."

"Hey, what's that thing you're eating?" Zhou Mei turned her eyes slightly.

"Face!" Lin Xiaosu said: "I didn't realize it before, but now I suddenly realize that I can actually make a living with my face..."

"Get out! You shameless bastard!" Zhou Mei didn't tolerate him at all.

The previous tracking went smoothly.

The fluorescent paw prints that appeared under the spray bottle formed a clear signpost for the four people, leading them all the way to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain is a stone tower.

This stone tower is the origin of Laota Mountain.

Why is Lao Ta Mountain called Lao Ta Mountain? Because there is a very old stone tower here.

It is unknown in which dynasty the stone pagoda was built, and there are all kinds of legends about it.

Some people say that this is a tower used to escape war thousands of years ago.

Some people say that this was originally an ancient country, and this tower was used for sacrifices by the ancient kingdom. When it comes to ancient kingdoms, many people find it ridiculous. How can a small county town be called a kingdom? But in the era of hegemony among the princes, a small county town may not be unable to support the title of a "country". Some people can even build a platform at the entrance of the village and ascend the throne in front of the villagers...

However, there is no documentation.

There are no stone carvings.

After tens of millions of years of erosion, the stone tower gradually became a cave built with random stones.

The footprints point all the way to the ancient pagoda.

Until the last footprint appeared in the stone tower... In fact, it was the entrance to the cave.

All four of them were stunned.

The four of them are all industry elites.

Based on the autopsy results, He Jiang clearly determined that the murderer was a beast.

At the crime scene, he found this special claw mark.

The appearance of this claw mark confirmed his judgment.

Because the claw mark matches the wound on the deceased's neck perfectly, 100% consistent.

At this point, it has basically been determined that the owner of the claw mark is the real murderer.

But what animal left these paw prints?
Everyone's heart was in turmoil. The animals in their memories and the animals in all the information did not seem to match. That was why He Jiang said that this was a strange beast.

The chain of cases involving strange beasts committing crimes is now clear and there is no dispute.

Now, from the crime scene to the stone tower, claw marks are everywhere, clearly pointing everyone in a direction: this strange beast has entered the cave.

Captain Zhang narrowed his eyes and stared at the inside of the cave.

There was actually nothing inside the cave, but there was a crack where the claw marks disappeared.

The cracks are naturally formed and lead to unknown spaces.

The crack was only one or two feet wide, so a person couldn't get in, but this strange beast could...

"The investigation of the case has been completed!" He Jiang put away the small spray bottle in his hand: "Next I'm afraid I have to make a decision, whether to blow up this cave."

Captain Zhang frowned and said, "This ancient tower is a historical relic. It seems inappropriate to blow it up."

The provincial department leader said, "This stone tower has no written records, and it has not been classified as a cultural relic. It cannot be considered a historical site that needs protection. Knowing that a ferocious beast that can kill people at any time is hiding inside, we have to blow it up! Prepare the explosives."

Captain Zhang was slightly surprised: "Director Li, this matter needs to be reported to the county leaders."

"Consult the county leaders, who then have to consult the provincial leaders. After all the consultations, the opportunity is gone!" Li said, "Captain Zhang, don't forget that we are the people's police, and we put people first! When the lives of the people are in danger, we must act decisively! Prepare the explosives!"

The atmosphere on the field became a little tense.

Captain Zhang is a local.

He knew that although this stone tower was not classified as a cultural relic, in the hearts of the people in the county, it was a historical relic. Everyone in the county knew about Lao Ta Mountain, and Lao Ta Mountain was named after this old tower. The position of this old tower was not low.

However, he could not refute what the leader said because what the leader said was right.

When the lives of the people are threatened, we must act decisively.

Not to mention that this tower is not a real cultural relic, even if it is, so what? People are the most important, and human life is the most important. If a child's head is stuck in the fence of the Forbidden City, the fence of the Forbidden City can be demolished...

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "This leader is a bit careless."

Everyone turned back at the same time.

Two people appeared behind them, of course, Lin Xiaosu and Zhou Mei.

Captain Zhang stared at Lin Xiaosu, his eyes slightly shining.

He Jiang stared at Lin Xiaosu with an unusual look in his eyes.

Director Li had a gloomy expression on his face: "Who are you?"

"Leader, his name is Lin Xiaosu, and he is a detective from Fengcheng Detective Agency." Zhou Mei said.

"A detective? He's not from the police at all. Who allowed him to come in?" Director Li looked extremely serious.

Zhou Mei's heart sank suddenly...

Today she went to see Lin Xiaosu without anyone's authorization.

In fact, she didn't specifically look for Lin Xiaosu to handle the case.

She was just looking for an excuse to ask him out.

After getting in the car, it was a sudden inspiration that made me tell him about the case. How it had evolved step by step to this point. Strictly speaking, this was a violation on her part.

Is the leader going to hold her accountable?
Captain Zhang said, "Director Li, I asked him to come here. Detective Lin has worked with our police many times before and solved many strange cases. He was the one who solved the 5.16 case. So, I thought he should be able to play a role in this strange case, so I asked Officer Zhou to invite him over."

If Zhou Mei made the decision on her own, Director Li would naturally not be too polite.

But Captain Zhang stepped forward and took over the responsibility.

Director Li still had to show some sympathy to Captain Zhang. He glanced at Lin Xiaosu's face and waved his hand gently: "The investigation chain has ended. He is no longer needed. Let him go!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled gently: "If the investigation chain has really ended, I can just leave as requested by the leader, but leader, the investigation chain has not ended. It can even be said that you have gone astray!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time.

Captain Zhang stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Su, what did you find?"

Lin Xiaosu said: "The real murderer didn't actually enter the cave."

"Didn't enter the cave?" Captain Zhang frowned...

He Jiang slowly raised his eyes, as if it was only at this moment that he was truly face to face with Lin Xiaosu: "Detective Lin, right? Nice to meet you, I'm He Jiang from the Jiangcheng Detective Agency."

"I know you, known as the number one detective in Jiangcheng!" Lin Xiaosu said.
