A week after the end of the war, the police continued to clean up the war zone.

Today, the cleaning and collection work has been basically completed, and the last remaining problems have been presented in front of everyone's eyes.

Early that morning, at the site of the battle between the Night Hunter and Zhang Dabiao, a group of police officers of the action team and several officers of the armed garrison stood there! This is the only point of difficulty that the police can't solve.

Next to a patch of dry grass, two police officers are reconstructing the scene for evidence.

A squad policeman said to the armed garrison police: "Sergeant"

The police of the armed garrison are watching the electronic devices intently.

The squad cop shouted again: "Hi, Sergeant Xinyuan, did you hear that?" ”

The policeman named Xinyuan raised his eyes and replied flatly: "Hmm! I heard that. ”

"Look here, there seem to be traces of reaction! However, after the restoration, it is still the same on the simulation drawing."

"yes!" Xinyuan shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know the situation either."

"How can you not know?"

"Please, you're a criminal policeman, you're a criminal policeman! You don't know, that's the biggest headache."

If there is more difficulty in a large area, there are problems everywhere!

The fiery red sun shone on this area of fierce battles in the early morning, and under the sun, the earth was fiery red everywhere, as if the smoke of gunfire had not yet dissipated.

Suddenly, a police car whizzed from a distance and finally stopped on the perimeter of the cordon.

"Guys, your Captain Qin is here"

"Hey, it's the captain here—" The squad officers looked relaxed with joy on their faces.

Sure enough, when the police car stopped, Qin Lina, who was dressed in a regular uniform, stepped out of the car. Under the severe cold, a breath as warm as smoke exhaled from Qin Lina's mouth and nose, put her cold hands to her mouth, and walked straight towards everyone.

Qin Lina came over specially after receiving everyone's suspicious calls for help. She's not a crime scene expert, but she has the agility of a commander.

A group of policemen immediately greeted him, "Captain Qin, good morning!" Ye Lixin greeted cordially from afar. During the operation, Ye Lixin was shot in many places, and at this time, he still maintained a vigorous posture, as if he was not injured.

Qin Lina also replied kindly: "Good morning, Captain Officer!" ”

Several police officers from the squad also greeted: "Captain, good morning. ”

Qin Lina nodded, "Good morning, boys!" ”

After a short greeting, everyone talked within the cordon.

As soon as Qin Lina opened her mouth, she asked directly: "What step has the investigation carried out?" ”

Everyone was embarrassed and silent.

Ye Lixin shook his head and sighed: "This is just the beginning, we were stumped" As he said, he pointed to the circle around him surrounded by a golden cordon, and continued: "Captain Qin, the area you are seeing right now makes me have to stop my progress. This place seems to be empty, but there are faint traces of the aftermath of the Great War! Here, I would like to make sure again, did your men come into contact with the enemy in this place? ”

"Nope." Qin Lina shook her head solemnly with a serious expression. Then, she asked, "What did my people say?" ”

"Hmm!" Ye Lixin shook his head and nodded again in a complicated mood, "I have asked the two police officers, Xia Tian and Chang Wei, before, and they said that this is not a place of battle!" ”

At this time, Xia Tian, who was standing next to him, said with certainty: "Yes, captain, we really haven't had any contact with the enemy here. ”

Qin Lina didn't speak, she looked at Xia Tian, and finally shifted her questioning gaze to Ye Lixin again.

"Captain Qin, please see" Ye Lixin took a bag of evidence and handed it to Qin Lina.

Qin Lina stretched out her right hand and ran her slender fingers through the evidence bag.

The transparent evidence bag contained not a murder weapon, nor a strong piece of evidence collected, but a straw. Qin Lina glanced at it cursoryly and asked casually, "What's the difference?" ”

Ye Lixin reminded: "Look at the difference at the fracture!" ”

Qin Lina tore open the evidence bag and took out the straw and put it in front of her eyes. I saw that the fracture of the straw was very neat, as if it had been swept by a sharp blade. Seeing this situation, Qin Lina was speechless in shock, "How is this possible?" ”

Ye Lixin spread his hands helplessly, "This is the truth, this is the suspicion left by the enemy!" ”

Qin Lina frowned slightly. In an instant, a possibility rose in his heart, and on the premise of retaining the existence of the possibility, he said to Ye Lixin in a flat tone: "Although its appearance is out of place, it doesn't prove anything. With that, she casually dropped the straw.

"It really doesn't prove anything!" Ye Lixin watched as the straw fell to the ground. "But there is not only one suspicion here," he continued, pointing to the surrounding land, "and there is a reason for suspicion of every grass, tree, or even a piece of soil. Take this severed straw as an example, it is not the only one, but there are many traces of being cut like it. There is also the possibility that the dirt and grass will be deliberately restored, and I still have a more doubtful evidence" After speaking, after a slight pause, Ye Lixin took out another evidence bag and handed it to Qin Lina.

"What is this?"

"I don't know!"

"Okay, let me see what the hell it is." Qin Lina took out the evidence from the evidence bag and looked closer. The so-called evidence is a small dot-shaped item, which is smaller than a mobile phone chip! In sunlight, the object itself also emits a faint blue reflection. "Have you done that?" She asked.

Ye Lixin said: "It's been identified! According to the computer's analysis of its material composition, this little thing belongs to the acid-resistant metal. ”

Qin Lina's tone was slightly angry: "Then you say you don't know!" ”

"I'm sorry, I thought you meant what it did"

After carefully observing it for a while, Qin Lina suddenly said, "I already know its origin."

Immediately, the crowd looked at her expectantly.

Qin Lina put the small item back into the evidence bag and said to everyone slowly: "Based on my visual analysis of it, I think it is very likely that this is part of a cold weapon. The only reason why it scattered was because the weapon itself was subjected to a powerful effect from the outside. In other words, it is the final result caused by the collision of two cold weapons" As she spoke, Qin Lina's eyes flashed and she scanned back and forth on everyone's faces. It seems that the whole thing has cleared up.

However, this alone is not enough!

Ye Lixin asked: "In other words, there was once a battle dominated by cold weapons here?" ”

"Hmm!" Qin Lina nodded and said, "But for now, this is just a speculation. ”

"Yes, that's probably the only plausible explanation"

"Unlikely! In this era of hot weapons, who else will fight with cold weapons? A police officer of the armed guard made a questioning voice.

Immediately, two officers from the squad retorted, and one of them asked rhetorically, "Sergeant, what is the purpose of that dagger hanging from your waist?" It can't be used to cut rice! ”

"What does that mean?"

Qin Lina smiled slightly, ignoring their bickering. I chose a relatively clean open space, and then walked over and sat down! "Come and sit, everybody!" Beckoning to everyone, she opened the map and spread it on the ground.

Although everyone had doubts, no one said much. The three police officers, who were arguing, also stopped bickering.

In this way, bathed in the cool morning sun, a group of police officers sat on the ground.

Qin Lina combined with the map from time to time, and talked eloquently: "There are suspicious things everywhere here, it seems that someone wants to deliberately cover up the traces" At this time, a police officer of the action team said: "The other party is a master, and they cover it up very well." If it weren't for more than 10 years of investigation experience as a police officer, we would probably have ignored this place! ”

"Hmm!" Qin Lina nodded and continued her words: "Let's think about it, what is the enemy covering up? ”

Ye Lixin said with certainty: "The other party is covering up the traces of the battle. ”

Qin Lina nodded in approval, "Let's think so for the time being!" As she spoke, she pointed to the terrain on the map and said, "If such a large area is really a place of battle, there must be a possibility that the scale of this battle is not small, could this be the traces left by a battle that has nothing to do with us?" Although I know that the existence of such speculation is very unlikely. ”

Ye Lixin smiled complicatedly and said, "If this is the case, I would have handed this place over to the local police a long time ago." ”

"Huh?" Qin Lina questioned.

Ye Lixin said: "Captain Qin, since you ask so, then I will answer you directly" As he spoke, he handed a straw to Qin Lina's eyes. This straw was the one that was just thrown down by Qin Lina, and at some point, he picked it up again. "Based on the identification of this incision, we have already determined the time of occurrence at the time of our operation."

Qin Lina said: "In this way, at the same time, there were two battles; One is ours and the other is the enemy's. ”

"Yes!"

"But who is the third party? Have we ever had a chance with them? If so, where did our direct opponents go? As she spoke, Qin Lina pointed to the map and kept moving the picture, "On that day, there were our people on the several roads that could come here. How did the third force get in and how did it disappear? We can't be unaware! ”

At this time, one of the officers asked, "Is there another possibility?" ”

"What is possible?"

The officer said, "No, there is no such thing as a third party. The battle that took place here was really just an internal battle of the enemy! ”

After listening, Qin Lina said affirmatively: "This possibility does not exist. ”

"Why?"

"No one would fight an internal war in the face of external pressure, which would be tantamount to self-destruction. It's common sense! ”

"So, Captain Qin, do you think there is a third-party force here?" Ye Lixin asked.

"Yes! During the day's battle, I had already begun to suspect that a third party had joined."

"Does Captain Qin have any evidence?" Ye Lixin is looking forward to it. All the officers also had expectant expressions on their faces.

Qin Lina replied calmly: "There is no conclusive evidence, only suspicion!" The reason why I am so suspicious is because of the special thinking that I have as a commander. ”

Her words were undoubtedly a basin of cold water on the head, which disappointed everyone.

In fact, Qin Lina already had this suspicion when she was attacked by the Night Hunter. As a team leader who has the overall situation, she clearly feels that the fierceness of her opponent's attacks has changed a lot! It's like you're facing two different opponents.

"So we're stuck in a dead knot again!!" Like everyone else, Ye Lixin was also disappointed.

Qin Lina put away the map, stood up and patted the dust on her body, and everyone followed her to stand up. "There are many doubts in this area," she said unhurriedly, "but there is not a single strong evidence to prove anything. What we need is more information to determine the truth of a thing. ”

Ye Lixin said curiously: "Listening to Captain Qin's words, I must have been thinking about it for a long time!" ”

Qin Lina smiled lightly, "It's not possible to talk about being pretentious. When she said this, it made people believe that she already had an idea in her heart.

Ye Lixin chased after him: "Captain Qin is scheming and strategizing, he must have already made a plan!" ”

Qin Lina did not answer this question directly, but shifted the topic to the question itself: "We need more strong evidence to prove speculation, but the evidence will not be sent to the door by itself."

After a short speech, Qin Lina dismissed everyone. With the removal of the cordon, this suspicious fighting site has been out of the police's sight.

This time, Qin Lina came here, although she didn't have any substantial gains, but she made progress in information! She had always suspected that a third party had been involved in the operation, but she had no evidence to prove it. Now, the discovery of this area has added another layer to her speculation.

On the same day, after destroying Zhang Dabiao and his party, the iron-faced instructor ordered all traces of the scene to be removed. However, the clues left behind were still discovered by the police! I'm afraid, even the Night Hunter would not have thought that these policemen would be so careful, so attentive that they would not even let go of an unknown little thing and a straw!

However, the Night Hunters are still an uncertain third party in the eyes of the police, and the police are unaware of their existence.

However, the sad thing is that Qi Yu's plan to fight for the benefit of the fisherman was destroyed by Qin Lina without knowing what to do. When the golden cordon was removed, Qi Yu's strategy had already failed before the slightest progress had been made!
