Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 241: Chapter 179 What Did He Do?

Anling Police Station.

A bright, round moon hung above the deep blue sky, its light like a ribbon of silver, shining through the glass windows and mingling with the brightness of the reception room inside.

Outside the window, branches swayed gently in the breeze, making a delicate rustling sound.

"Just by looking at photographs to find the murderer, isn't that a bit too miraculous?"

He Zhi, looking at Lin Chuan wearing a clean T-shirt, had a skeptical expression on his face.

Even national influent detectives had to personally investigate the scene and carefully study the case information before they could deduce some clues.

Lin Chuan did have secret tomb-robbing skills, and his criminal investigation experience was credible.

But he was only twenty-four or twenty-five years old!

How could he possibly achieve this?

Such were the doubts of He Zhi, who, as the deputy captain of the Linyi Police Station's Criminal Police Brigade, hadn't climbed to his current position by merely fawning and flattering.

He had relied on genuine talent and knowledge!

That is, criminal investigative ability.

This position was already the end goal for many ordinary officers, but he was only thirty-seven and still had room to advance.

Of course, everything was built on ability and 'other factors'.

Right now, the most important thing was to solve this special 'tomb robbing + murder case'.

It was the foundation for his next step forward and the responsibility on his shoulders.

Lin Chuan had just picked up his teacup to take a sip, but upon hearing Shen Qianqian's words and then looking at He Zhi, he almost spat it out: "Officer He, don't listen to her nonsense. Just by looking at photos to solve a case, wouldn't that make me a miracle detective?"

"Miracle detective, aren't you a miracle detective?"

Shen Qianqian held the photographs and looked at Lin Chuan with a beaming smile.

"I suspect you're mocking me," Lin Chuan said with a darkened face and a snort.

"No, no, Detective Lin the Influent Author," Shen Qianqian laughed heartily.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, if you could help us find some clues, we would be truly grateful," He Zhi said, his face returning to normal.

That was indeed his intention.

He didn't expect Lin Chuan to really help him solve the case; he just hoped Lin Chuan could provide more clues.

That would be enough!

"I'll do my best,"

Lin Chuan replied, then shifted his gaze to the photographs related to the murder case and the Seven Stars Lu King Palace.

While Lin Chuan was looking at the photographs, He Zhi also explained, "The difficulty with this murder case lies in the length of time and the wide range, and currently the identities of the two victims have not been confirmed."

"Indeed,"

Lin Chuan looked at the photographs and nodded, "The long timeframe and the location in the wild make it difficult to find the murder weapon or any clothing that the murderer might have stained with the victims' blood."

He Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, we haven't found any relevant clues."

The Linyi police had nearly combed through the area around the Seven Stars Lu King Palace during this time, but to no avail.

The murder weapon could not be found.

The murderer's clues were also difficult to find.

"On the victims' bodies, did you find any clues related to the murderer?" Lin Chuan inquired.

He Zhi shook his head, "Based on the wounds on the victims and simulations conducted at the scene, if the murderer was one person, then his height should be over 185, and he must have a certain level of combat power."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow.

No wonder the Linyi police hurried to fly to Anling; it turned out he really fit these characteristics.

Lin Chuan, 186 in height, with abundant combat experience.

Barehanded, he could fight ten and remain unscathed, all of them sprawled on the ground.

His combat record could be checked.

"So, that means the investigation has hit a dead end," Shen Qianqian frowned slightly, catching the implication.

"Yes,"

He Zhi nodded, "The only clue we have is Comrade Lin Chuan's novel."

Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "Actually, there's another angle."

"Please enlighten us."

He Zhi's eyebrows rose, and he leaned slightly towards Lin Chuan.

"Didn't the tomb lose a batch of artifacts?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, He Zhi shook his head and sighed lightly, "We've tried following up on that, but first, we don't know exactly what that lost batch of artifacts is; we only know there is a Purple Gold Box. Secondly, we've also investigated in secret. There's no trace of the Purple Gold Box in the market trading records."

"And we're back to a standstill,"

Shen Qianqian also sighed.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, his lips curling up in a smile, "Not necessarily."

"Does Comrade Lin Chuan have a solution?"

He Zhi's heart leapt, looking earnestly at Lin Chuan.

"Truly Detective Lin," Shen Qianqian's face revealed a smile.

Lin Chuan smiled, "I can provide you with an artifact for reference."

Hmm?

Both He Zhi and Shen Qianqian were taken aback, staring blankly at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan, feeling their puzzled gazes, paused, then quickly produced a photograph.

The photograph showed a frontal view of the Seven-Star Stone Coffin.

The surface of each stone coffin was inscribed with the life story of King Lushang.

"Is there something special about this photograph?" Shen Qianqian asked, with a learning attitude, looking at Lin Chuan, her eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

He Zhi was equally perplexed.

Lin Chuan pointed at the photo and said with a smile, "Doesn't the seal script on this say that King Lushang had a Ghost Seal that could command Ghost Soldiers, making him unbeatable in battle, thus he was titled King Lushang by the Duke of the State of Lu?"

"The artifact you're talking about, is it this Ghost Seal?" He Zhi asked thoughtfully, "But does a Ghost Seal that can command Ghost Soldiers really exist?"

Lin Chuan waved his hand, "Whether it can command Ghost Soldiers let's set aside for now, but there has to be a Ghost Seal, right?"
