"ah?"

"Crystal beads?"

“It’s amethyst, and it’s a barrel bead, also 8x9 in size.

Isn't this an elegant amethyst bead?"

"Only two were found on Anyan Road. I didn't expect to find two more at this construction site."

"Doesn't that mean Gao Ya and Yin Tingxue have most likely been here?

Or, right here?"

The police officers standing in the center of the abandoned construction site looked at the handful of snow in Xu Xinyi's hand.

Especially the purple crystal beads in the snow, all of them looked incredible.

Then, many people turned their heads and looked in shock at Shen Ting, who was wearing a Taoist robe, frowning and fiddling with a compass, muttering something to himself.

Ever since Chen Ting proposed to use magical instruments such as the compass and the Bagua mirror to find the murderer's trace, everyone was actually very resistant.

This resistance does not come from logical thinking, but more of an instinct and intuition.

For police officers who have received modern criminal investigation training, solving cases depends on solid evidence and rigorous logical thinking.

That is the chain of evidence and the chain of logic!

However, Shen Ting’s metaphysical approach is exactly the opposite. It is too anti-intellectual, even anti-scientific.

That is, it was only after Shen Ting created a miracle in his last case that everyone could accept his "nonsense".

If it were an uninformed expert, he would definitely curse the moment he heard that he wanted to solve the case through metaphysics.

But the problem is!

Shen Ting actually did it!

The amethyst in Xu Xinyi's hand is the best proof.

What’s more important is!

This abandoned construction site is different from that intersection.

At the intersection, the criminals were just passing through there.

This abandoned construction site is likely to be the criminals' residence.

The criminal is here, most likely to dispose of a body or hide someone!

This place is obviously crucial for solving the case.

But the police officers believed that if they were asked to search for a month, they would probably find nothing.

As a result, Chen Ting relied on metaphysics to find it so easily?

"It's over. I feel like my cognition has been overturned."

"Me too!

My eyes saw the amethyst, and my brain analyzed what it meant.

But I feel like, deep down, I'm resisting this outcome."

"This is so fucking ridiculous! I saw it with my own eyes, but I still can't believe it!"

“It’s because I saw with my own eyes how Shen Ting found this place that it’s even harder to accept.”

Not only ordinary police officers, but also Zheng Yuanqiao and Qin Shan, two knowledgeable captains, felt that their knowledge system had been overturned.

They have been criminal police for so many years, and the shock they have received in the past is more about the cruel methods used by the murderers and the inhumane cases.

However, this is the first time in decades that the established criminal investigation knowledge system has suffered such a huge impact.

The two looked at each other and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

They wanted to say something, but when they saw Shen Ting adjusted the compass and started walking in one direction, they didn't dare to disturb him and followed him closely.

Other police officers also consciously divided themselves into several teams.

There are many lines here, and each team chose a line to survey.

And Shen Ting and his party, following the compass, soon arrived at the entrance of an underground garage.

"Could the criminal be in here?"

Chen Ting looked at the pointer pointing straight to the entrance, then looked up at the dark, huge entrance, as if it was the huge mouth of a monster, opening wide, to swallow him.

Inexplicably, a trace of resistance and even fear arose in his heart.

He doesn't want to go into this garage!

I'm afraid of seeing Gaoya's corpse!

I am even more afraid of not being able to find her and confirming that she is the murderer!

But at the same time!

Shen Ting also felt a little anxious.

The investigation is progressing too slowly.

It has been nearly thirty hours since yesterday noon.

But all they found were some small clues, such as a gang-related organization, scraps of paper, amethyst beads, the murderer Xixuan, etc.

There has never been a major breakthrough!

This made Shen Ting very impatient, fearing that Gao Ya was still alive and delayed saving her.

"I'll go ahead."

Xiong Beibei turned on the flashlight and walked into the underground garage first.

The downward sloping cement road ahead was suddenly illuminated.

Beside him, there were two careful trace investigators!

When entering a crime scene, or a suspected crime scene, it is required that a trace inspection officer must be present.

Because there was an accident.

A criminal had planted a bomb at the crime scene.

The forensic doctor and police officers were caught off guard and rushed in directly.

The result was heavy casualties!

Trace inspection can determine whether it is safe based on traces at the scene.

Usually they are the most advanced on site!

"Safe, but no special traces!"

"The ground was very dusty. Normally, if someone entered the garage, there would be footprints, but there were no footprints on the ground."

The entrance passage was not long and the group entered quickly.

This garage has not been fully built yet.

Most of the area is covered with dirt.

Only the supporting column parts have been hardened.

The key point is that this place is very open and you can see everything with a strong flashlight.

Not to mention criminals and the dead, there wasn't even a single living creature.

After a quick inspection, the two trace detectives both shook their heads.

"The criminal isn't here."

"The dust layer on the ground is intact. Unless the criminal can climb walls and fly over rooftops, he definitely hasn't been here."

Not here?

Chen Ting looked at the compass. The needle was no longer vibrating violently, and the amplitude of the vibration had become very, very small.
