Chapter 489: Detective Lin Wen
the next day.
As soon as Lin Wen went out, he met the little princess. She was wearing a pure white long skirt and a wide-sleeved top with flowers, and handed him a lollipop.
"Big brother, here!"
Lin Wen took it and ate it in one bite.
"Thanks."
As he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he was still a little short of bad karma, so he snatched the remaining lollipop from her hand and said viciously, "Nice lollipop, all of them are mine."
The little princess blinked her clear big eyes and looked at Lin Wen, but she didn't look like she was about to cry.
“I ate it.”
Lin Wen swallowed the lollipop in one bite and put the bare stick in her hand.
"Wahahaha, your lollipop was eaten up by big brother!"
"...Oh." The little princess blinked. "If big brother likes to eat it, I have a few boxes in my room..."
Lin Wen scratched his head, feeling that his evil action had failed again.
Why.
It is very difficult to do it without any side effects and without intentionally causing any bad karma.
never mind.
He handed her the other stick, put on his coat, walked out the door, and waved.
"Thank you. Goodbye."
The little princess's jade-like hands dragged two lollipop sticks as she looked at the background where Lin Wen left and whispered, "Big brother is so silly... so cute."
——
The Imperial Military Police was waiting for him outside the door. The former captain had returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Lin Wen was the new captain.
The Imperial Military Police is a powerful law enforcement agency that specializes in handling military violations of law and discipline. It is a team directly under the highest military headquarters, but is also under the jurisdiction of the Council of Justice.
However, since the disastrous failure of the last attack, Yu Zhongxian has kept a low profile and has not come to annoy Lin Wen.
The three squad leaders stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Squadron Leader! All 156 members of the Military Police Squadron report in!"
Lin Wen nodded, "Very good, now let's start enforcing the law."
The squadron's military police answered in unison: "Yes! We will follow the squadron leader's orders."
"Very good." Lin Wen changed the subject, "However, the iron must be strong before it can be forged. First, we must eliminate the termites in the team."
Everyone was shocked. Is this going to be a self-examination?
The team leaders were a little anxious. Lin Wen's rumored deeds and his behavior a few days ago made them place great hopes on this squadron leader, but it would be very disadvantageous for him to do such a sensitive thing right after taking office.
If any mistake occurs, it will greatly undermine the prestige of the new official.
But he couldn't openly refute it, so the team leader could only signal with his eyes.
But Lin Wen didn't pay any attention to it. His eyes flashed and he glanced around briefly.
The situation in the gendarmerie is relatively good, with about one-fifteenth being completely black and about one-tenth being more than half black.
The three team leaders are rarely criticized, and their standards are pretty good.
"You, you, you, all come out."
Soon, the twenty-six gendarmes formed another team and stood up.
"This is a routine review."
Lin Wen casually said, "Please report your duties, the matters you handle most frequently, the locations you frequently visit, and the length of time you have served."
"yes!"
The twenty-six people did not suspect anything and quickly confessed this seemingly harmless basic information.
The team leaders felt a little relieved, thinking that if it was just such a simple query, it could probably be handled within a day.
After Lin Wen finished collecting the information, he suddenly said, "I need to go to the bathroom."
This toilet session lasted more than three hours, and the gendarmes thought their new captain had fallen into the pit.
After waiting for a long time, the captain finally came back, only to see that he was holding a camera in one hand and a large bag of videotapes in the other.
It’s not that the Empire lacks digital technology; it’s just that it hasn’t been widely adopted for civilian use.
The Empire's cutting-edge technology is actually very powerful, but most of it is in the military or laboratories and is spreading very slowly.
Lin Wen could only find these antique videotapes and cameras.
After obtaining their information, Lin Wen went to get evidence of their crimes.
This was not in line with Lin Wen's usual style, but in order to protect the imperial faction from being hit, he still did as Li Linyue said.
The original garrison of this gendarmerie happened to be the capital of Zezhou.
Most of their crimes were committed there.
【Luan Zhao Shui】can only recall the scene of one place.
Therefore, Lin Wen had to go to the place where they committed the crime - the capital of Zezhou, to obtain evidence of their crimes.
Lin Wen activated [Ride the Clouds] and flew over.
The capital of Zezhou has become much more desolate after experiencing wars and massacres. There are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and only patrolling soldiers are on the streets.
When Lin Wen was walking on the street, all the soldiers stopped and saluted him when they saw the gendarmerie uniform on him, not daring to stop him.
Lin Wen quickly found a suitable place and filled a basin with water.
The scope of the "one place" in [Luan Zhao Shui] is very broad, almost meaning a city with Lin Wen as the center.
So he just had to choose a center point to take the photo.
According to the information they gave him, Lin Wen began to use the enhanced [Luan Zhao Shui] to recall the scene.
The smoke and clouds of the past reappear before our eyes, the fog of history is dispelled by invisible hands, and the scenes of the past appear in the clear water.
Although Lin Wen is not a professional detective like Sherlock Holmes, Conan, or Geralt, he has a whole world of knowledge compared to the people in this world.
The things they thought were novel had already been played out in another world.
The seemingly harmless information they confessed was actually a deadly noose.
As soon as Lin Wen saw their positions, the matters they were responsible for, and the extent of their evil deeds, he knew what they would do.
The time, place, characters and plot are all there.
How to shoot the rest depends on Director Lin’s skills, right?
[Luan Zhao Shui] can fast forward or rewind at an infinite speed. Lin Wen usually takes two to three minutes to see a person's movements clearly, and then quickly jumps through time to lock onto his crime scene and record it.
It usually takes four to five minutes to fully record a person's major crimes.
In order to save time, Lin Wen always plays at about ten times the speed. This is because the camera can only be adjusted to ten times the speed at most, otherwise he would use a hundred or a thousand times the speed.
However, [Luan Zhao Shui] cannot go back infinitely, and the longer the time, the blurrier the picture becomes.
The scene from ten years ago was already covered in smoke and dust.
Twenty years ago, only dust remains.
Obviously, if you want to see scenes from a longer time ago, you need to continue to strengthen your magical powers.
But these crimes were committed over a period of several years, so the footage is in high definition.
Apart from the occasional interference from water ripples, it is flawless and cannot be replicated by any computer technology.
Twenty-six people, it took a total of two hours.
[Luan Zhao Shui] only had one hour of backtracking time, so Lin Wen had to use another golden star to increase the time to two hours.
The strengthening effect of the Destiny Star only lasts for one day, and continuous use is not very cost-effective. Lin Wen only has four golden stars left, which means he must clean up the logistics system within four days.
Otherwise, the spirits possessed by Conan and the others will leave him.
“We have to be more efficient.”
Lin Wen thought about it and flew back to Xindengburg, Zezhou with the evidence.
As soon as he returned to the military police, Lin Wen immediately shouted, "Arrest them!"
The three team leaders were all shocked, "Why, Captain Lin?"
Lin Wen sneered, "While I was taking a shit, I suddenly found evidence of their crimes. Look, this is the crime they committed!"
The gendarmerie temporarily found a playback device.
In the ostentatiously decorated hall, everyone watched the videotape excerpted by Lin Wen with pale faces.
"Catch them! Catch them all!"
The team leader was furious. He pointed at a sweaty guy and cursed, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I was wondering why the informant suddenly disappeared that time. It turns out you poured it into the concrete floor!"
Bang.
The man was knocked to the ground by a heavy punch from his colleague and his hands were immediately handcuffed.
"take away!"
"All members of the Military Police will conduct self-inspection!"
——
Lin Wen brought a total of twelve videotapes, totaling twenty hours of footage, which fully revealed the crimes of these twenty-six people.
After watching the video, the military police felt a chill in their hearts and wondered where the videotape came from.
For such a serious crime, it is impossible for them to bring a camera nearby to leave themselves with evidence.
This is also the most common question raised by criminals - the video is fake.
However, the team leaders had already asked their colleagues from the professional and technical department to verify it, and they promised that there was no sign of forgery, splicing, or alteration.
Each video clip is shot in one take, with high-definition pixels, and not even a blurry frame can be found.
No technology can do this.
Lin Wen's response to this was: "The net of heaven is vast and wide, nothing can escape it. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Although the team leaders believed that Lin Wen was not telling the truth, they deduced a possibility based on Lin Wen's direct arrest behavior:
Captain Lin must have obtained this evidence as early as when he took office.
As soon as the new squadron leader arrived, he directly selected twenty-six people, not one more.
How could it be so accurate if they hadn't known the evidence in advance?
"Maybe it's some kind of the Empire's latest technology that can record images of the past." A team leader put forward his guess.
"It's possible. I heard that the Empire has made a breakthrough in quantum technology. Perhaps it's quantum technology."
"Don't be ridiculous. Perhaps some enthusiastic citizen accidentally filmed it. If the Empire wants to dig deep into a person's crimes, they will definitely be able to uncover them. It's just a matter of how much force they use."
However, speculation is always speculation and does not hinder their investigation.
The video must be real, and the biggest reason they believe this is because it fits perfectly into a missing part of some past cases.
It is impossible to forge to this extent.
Faced with overwhelming evidence, the psychological defenses of the twenty-six people quickly collapsed and they confessed all their crimes.
After they were publicly displayed, they were quickly executed by the military court.
The half-black ones were also shot. The most stringent law of the immortal law cannot reach the point of death as long as there is a slight possibility.
But according to military law, they should have died long ago.
They were shot because of Lin Wen, and Lin Wen had no bad karma. This was the best way to kill a half-black person.
After cleaning up the bad apples, the entire gendarmerie had a deep respect for Lin Wen. They truly experienced the magic of the legendary County Chief Lin.
Afterwards, Lin Wen took this team that barely reached the passing line and began to clean up the logistics.
——
On the front line, Li Longxing captured the border city of Maharis of the Papal States, extending the supply line of the Western Front Army to 200 kilometers.
The Papal States retreated another 100 kilometers to avoid the enemy's attack and reorganize its troops.
The cannon fodder army's war weariness and dissatisfaction have reached an extremely high level. The promises made by the priests before the war have shattered like smoke. The cruel reality has made them suspect that everything is a lie. The governor's army has been suppressing and killing people all day long, but the effect is no longer as before.
Even among the regular army and elite units, some discontent has emerged.
Although the Papal States achieved certain results on the Eastern Front with the help of various countries, this could not cover up the huge failure on the Western Front.
At this time, Yu Zhongxian's special envoy secretly came to the Holy Fire Sacrifice Site and made a suggestion to the first priest Mo Zhai.
The gloom on Mo Zhai's face disappeared instantly.
"good."
