Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Finally Found It

After discovering this, the police also found something in the investigation of the case.

Among the items was a handbag that the victim had with them when they were attacked.

However, when they questioned the gang leader about it, he deliberately responded in a flippant manner using a slang he had learned from movies.

"No way, sir, you know that area is our turf, right? The guys under me just happened to find this thing. When we found it, it was empty, just a handbag. If you like, you can take it and have fun with it."

The gang leader’s contemptuous attitude was infuriating.

But without direct evidence, the police couldn’t arrest him.

Now, documents from above emphasize the integrity and transparency of the interrogation process.

Forced confessions and the like were not allowed, and this is what is called procedural justice.

Otherwise, according to some veteran detectives, this kind of conceited gang leader should be handcuffed and hung from a radiator, and beaten severely with a belt until he became reasonable.

But obviously, that could not be done now, as the defendant would definitely claim they were coerced into confessing and recant at trial.

However, the experienced senior officers all believed that it was the gang leader’s group that did it.

They just didn’t know where the murder weapon and the victim’s head were hidden; if these could be found, the criminals would not possibly escape justice.

Yue Qingqing asked somewhat confusedly, "Can I see who the killer is, and directly identify them?"

This time, Si Xi was the one who answered her question.

The girl shook her head.

"Qingqing, in the case we just discussed, because it happened at least twenty years ago and nearly all the evidence has been lost, the police have nothing to start with. In such cases, the law can’t punish the criminal, and it’s only then that people from Xuanmen can intervene."

"But this case is recent, the evidence is still there, it’s just that the police haven’t found it yet. So, people from Xuanmen absolutely cannot rashly use their methods to determine guilt, we must resolve it through the law."

This is the significance of establishing the specialized department.

The cases they handle are either beyond the reach of ordinary people, like the previous Ghost Cultivator case, where normal investigative methods were insufficient for the police to solve the case or arrest the criminal,

or they are obscured by time or other factors, and Xuanmen methods are necessary to solve them.

After all, with greater ability comes greater regulation, otherwise, if those from Xuanmen harbored ill intentions and randomly attacked ordinary people, wouldn’t the world become chaotic?

The specialized department Si Xi works in not only bears the responsibility of handling special cases but also has a dedicated regulatory body.

Monitoring cultivators so that they do not unjustly attack mortals, and if a life is taken, they will also be pursued by the specialized department, ensuring they do not escape justice.

Given these circumstances, this case must start with conventional methods to establish a complete chain of evidence to determine the killer, not through face reading,

otherwise, wouldn’t the face reading masters of Xuanmen be able to frame and entrap anyone at will, claiming someone’s guilt without any evidence?

Thinking to accuse anyone at their discretion, without needing any evidence.

Yue Qingqing nodded as if she understood but really didn’t, then returned to her previous question.

"Senior brother, why did you say that the person wasn’t decapitated with a knife?"

"Because I am a doctor," Yan Sinian replied convincingly, "In the situation where a motorcycle is speeding, to instantly decapitate someone with a knife requires tremendous arm strength and precision."

"Human bones are much harder than ordinary people might imagine. The probability of cleanly severing a head with a single chop, without dragging, is very slim. Normally, the skin and flesh would still be attached to the neck with one chop unless there has been professional training, it’s simply not possible to sever it directly."

"Just now, the two officers also said that among that group, the gang leader was somewhat intelligent, but the rest were just a mob, and none had that kind of skill."

Yan Sinian, who had once played the role of a forensic investigator at a young age, spoke while searching through a pile of garbage.

He finally found what he was looking for.

"So, the murder weapon is not a knife."

Yan Sinian picked up a roll of steel wire with a glove, its dried and darkened bloodstains apparent in the setting sun.
