Of course he knew what Yin Lian meant by superpowers. In fact, Yin Lian herself is what she calls a "superpower", and Li Yinghai himself also has a "new world training and further education" schedule before the end of the year. Since the discovery of the new world, the military system has rotated several batches of elite soldiers into the new world for training. The police system is slightly behind, but there are also a large number of elite police officers who have been rotated into the training schedule.
The "further training" here, to put it bluntly, means going to the new world for intensive training. The highest goal is to become a legendary "superpower".
However, the proportion of people who have truly evolved into superpowers is actually very small, and a large part of them are always restricted to the new world and cannot return to Earth at will. People who can travel freely are often very important in their own right. To participate in the murder of such a junior high school girl is overkill, no matter how you think about it.
But if Yin Lian dares to say this, it will certainly not be without purpose.
Shan Xiaolan's death may seem like a coincidence, but it is actually extremely abnormal. The wound on her head was not fatal, but the force of the impact caused a broken neck bone. Although it could be attributed to coincidence, it was more like an unusual murder.
Yin Lian thought about it using his own abilities, and easily judged the method that could achieve this effect. If the moment Shan Xiaolan's head hit the ground, he cleverly and quickly applied force on her neck to break it, then everything would make sense.
But this is not something ordinary people can do.
To do this kind of action without leaving any traces on Shan Xiaolan's body, the person doing it needs strength, speed, and very sophisticated and skillful force techniques that are different from ordinary people.
Forget about the latter, the first two are not achievable through normal training.
The perpetrator is most likely a person with super powers, and a person with super powers who has received professional killing training.
Yin Lian briefly explained his judgment and did not hide the fact that he had this ability. Her attitude was very calm, which made Li Yinghai's suspicion of her fade a little, but he also silently kept the relevant information in his heart.
He instinctively felt that this girl was dangerous. As an adult and a highly experienced criminal police officer, it stands to reason that Li Yinghai has never seen such a dangerous person, so he shouldn't make such a fuss.
But he just felt something was wrong with this girl.
If anything, Yin Lian exudes the aura of a dangerous person. The so-called treacherous and evil person must have great wisdom and courage. In Li Yinghai's opinion, this girl has such potential. If a person can be praised by everyone, he is either a true saint or a villain with a big agenda - reality is not a novel or a comic, so many times the latter is the truth.
Without any ambition or paranoia, how can a person decorate himself to be perfect and flawless?
Such thoughts silently floated through Li Yinghai's mind, but he remained calm on the surface. He listened carefully to Yin Lian's judgment and asked, "But if it was really done by a person with superpowers, what was their purpose in killing Shan Xiaolan?"
After hearing this, Yin Lian thought for a moment before replying: "Generally speaking, there are only a few purposes for killing people. Excluding murderers who have no purpose, killing people is either for the purpose of killing people for profit, or for personal grudges. Otherwise...it's just to silence them. Mr. police, who do you think they are for?"
Li Yinghai frowned.
Then he suddenly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked his colleagues about surveillance.
Yin Lian's school actually has surveillance cameras installed, but the main surveillance areas are key entrances and exits and densely populated areas such as corridors, classrooms, and the front and back doors of the school. The stairs themselves are a blind spot, and if you want to go to the classroom, you have to pass through the corridor, so the school can save this part of the surveillance.
This adds some inconvenience to the investigation, but if you really want to search for clues, you can still find some clues by checking the surveillance records before and after.
As a result, during the questioning process, I didn't know what the other person said. Li Yinghai's expression tensed up a bit and asked: "Upstairs? Are you sure you are going upstairs, not downstairs?"
"Confirmed. There are only images of Shan Xiaolan going from the third floor to the fourth floor in the surveillance, but there is no image of her entering the corridor on the fourth floor. It is possible that something happened to her at the entrance of the stairs and she fell directly down the stairs."
"But according to our investigation based on whereabouts, she should have had an accident on the way downstairs."
"This is strange." The other person said, "Not only that, we didn't see anyone else. We guessed several possibilities. One is that the other party has been lurking at the stairs, and suddenly when Shan Xiaolan appeared, Start, then wait until others appear, then blend in with the crowd and leave. One is that the other party directly climbs up from outside the teaching building with the help of tools, and then leaves from the outside."
After hearing this, Li Yinghai was silent for a moment, then realized the flaws in these two speculations, and said: "Unless you are the first discoverer, staying at the scene will definitely be very conspicuous. Especially on the stairs, there are almost no bunkers, and you can't hide. It’s easy to hide. Climbing in from outside the floor is an interesting idea, but it’s not reliable either.”
"The teaching building is brightly lit, and thousands of students are gathered on the playground. They are in a good position to clearly see the situation in the teaching building. If there are just people walking around, the students probably won't pay too much attention. If they see If someone climbs the teaching building, as long as one student discovers it, everyone will be alarmed."
"Based on a few thousand people, the possibility of such behavior not being discovered is basically extremely small, almost to the point of being negligible."
Hearing what Li Yinghai said, the other person fell silent for a moment, and then said: "...What else can we do? It can't be that Shan Xiaolan broke his neck on his own, or that the murderer actually appeared and disappeared out of thin air, right?"
Li Yinghai was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know yet. I'll call you later."
Then he turned off the intercom and said to Yin Lian: "Can a person with superpowers... be able to move through thin air?"
Yin Lian said: "As far as I know now, the superpowers in the new world probably can't do this. Although superpowers can do many things that ordinary people can't do, their abilities are generally limited by nature. Due to the constraints of physical rules, there is no way to perform super-supernatural actions.”
Li Yinghai fell into deep thought and said to himself: "In this case, how did the other party disappear without a trace under surveillance?"
Yin Lian guessed that the other party may have been temporarily restricted by the impact of the supernatural power, and forgot about another possibility. She thought for a while and reminded tactfully: "Mr. Police, in fact, ordinary people can also disappear without a trace under the surveillance camera. They just need some small means."
Li Yinghai was stunned for a moment, and then he hit his head as if he suddenly realized something. He was obviously annoyed that he had not thought of this.
Afterwards, the police officers quickly checked the surveillance footage and video archives in the monitoring room, and sure enough they made important discoveries.
During the school anniversary, the video in the corridor on the fourth floor of the teaching building was completely deleted. The method of deletion was relatively simple and crude. It was directly replaced with a video from a previous rehearsal time. It may not be obvious at first glance, but it cannot withstand careful comparison and scrutiny.
After all, there are so many classes on one floor, and the appearance of the classroom will be slightly different every day - the words on the blackboard, the backpacks carried by students, and even the placement of tables and chairs.
The differences in these details cannot be concealed through simple data methods.
Although the other party carefully modified the time and data, the police quickly found the clues they needed. In terms of modification methods, the other party's computer technology is very advanced, with the technical level of a professional hacker, and all traces have been cleaned up. But some traces cannot be cleaned up, such as... the process of how things happened objectively.
Although the female police officer responsible for checking the surveillance video could not restore the original video from the surveillance video, nor could she find out the specific modification time, she was able to deduce the specific details of the murderer through the starting point and end point of the modified video. Activity time.
No matter how brilliant the technology or the mysterious superpowers are, they cannot change the objective laws of things. For example, since the murderer wanted to deliberately modify the surveillance on the fourth floor during that period, he must have done something on the fourth floor of the teaching building before and after the incident occurred. And since he modified the surveillance video, it shows that he approached and came into contact with the equipment in the surveillance room before and after that time.
The control room is different from the teaching building. Even during the school anniversary, the control room is always guarded by security guards. If the other party approaches the control room, the security guard should be aware of it or be involved in the matter.
Upon discovering this, the questioning of Yin Lian was temporarily suspended. The police officers began to investigate the security guards stationed in the control room and the people who had approached the security room at that time.
Li Yinghai asked someone to find the security guard. As a result, other security guards came, but the security guard on duty at that time was nowhere to be seen. He asked and found that no one had seen him before when the school celebration was interrupted.
When the police arrived, they had already cordoned off the school immediately, but unfortunately there were too many people in the school and the situation was too chaotic. For a while, the school couldn't even provide a list of all the people on campus, let alone control everyone.
There must be a list of school administrators, but there is generally no way to confirm who is where among the complicated crowd. Even if the security guard wasn't there for a while, his colleagues would just think that the other person had gone to the toilet or was hiding somewhere, and wouldn't have much thought.
This time too.
No one could find it, and no one paid much attention to it. A teacher called to call someone, but no one answered the phone. The school didn't panic. It turned on the radio and broadcast it several times. It was obvious that it was used to this kind of situation where no one could be found for a while.
In the process of looking for people, Li Yinghai also asked the remaining people and found out who had approached the monitoring room in the afternoon and evening. The security guards in the control room are on a shift basis and the personnel are fixed, but the hours are not necessarily completely fixed. It is understood that Wang Baoan was not originally on duty on the night of the school anniversary, but his colleagues changed shifts with him because they wanted to watch the performance, so Wang Baoan was on duty.
As a result, during this process, the police received a report that a body was found in a garbage dump near the school. After hurriedly rushing to investigate, they found that the deceased was Wang Baoan himself. The cause of death was a fatal blow. Judging from the killing method, I am afraid that as Yin Lian said... the other party was indeed a person with supernatural powers.
But at the same time, Yin Lian was basically cleared of suspicion.
Judging from the wound condition of the deceased, the murderer was at least 1.75 meters tall. Judging from the condition of his muscles when the blade penetrated, Wang Baoan should have been relatively relaxed before being stabbed. But judging from his last expression, he should be extremely surprised, indicating that he did not realize that the other party would attack him.
The death of the second person made everything start to look more complicated and confusing.
