Witch Hunter from Entry to Unemployment

Chapter 90 ‘Justice’ Trial

Li Xun actually doesn't know much about criminal investigation, but after all, he is someone who has watched hundreds of episodes of Death God. After a little comparison, he can see that neither the Public Security Bureau nor Lina, the knight, have any common sense in criminal investigation.

But it's normal if you think about it carefully. In a world where extraordinary powers exist and gods watch over the human world, it is indeed difficult for criminal investigation to develop.

Especially in places like the Star City, the crime rate is very low.

As for a slightly more serious case, once the court takes action, the murderer will definitely have nowhere to escape.

The only reason why the so-called psychedelic drugs have been available for so long and have been difficult to eradicate is that it is nothing more than a trivial matter in the eyes of the inquisitor.

Of course, there are certain reasons for the involvement of nobles behind this chain of interests. Maybe there are also people from the Holy See involved. Li Xun feels it is difficult to say what the specific situation is.

"Officer, I really don't understand what you are talking about. My brother has been working hard and doing serious work."

"So how do you think your brother died? Who would be so cruel as to kill him by decapitation?"

The girl was speechless for a while, while Li Xun continued to speak with a smile.

"They have already killed thirteen people, do you think they will care about killing one more of you?"

Returning to the Public Security Bureau, Lina began to interrogate the girl. At the same time, she also arranged for many guards to search for the other victims' families to find out what kind of people these victims were and to see if the incriminating evidence was there.

All true.

Watching Li Xun walk out of the house, Linna hesitated a little. She had been tracing the medicine for a long time, and now she just wanted to ask the girl more details.

"How's it going? Did you find any clues?"

Soon, the guards who went to the families of other victims also came back one after another, bringing new news.

Luo Erwei also poked her little face out of the window and looked in the direction where Li Xun and others were walking.

"Do you think the records of the thirteen victims and their culpability are all true?"

On the way back, Li Xun spoke with a smile, while Linna on the side asked with a solemn expression.

"The false guilt has turned into real guilt, which is actually more interesting now. But it seems that I am safe?"

"I did find a very important clue. Let's talk about it back to the bureau."

Having obtained the information he wanted, it was obvious that the girl in front of him knew very little, so Li Xun did not continue to ask any more questions.

"You ask me? This has nothing to do with me. I'm here to help for free, and I won't always help you solve cases. Doesn't it depend on what you think?"

The girl did not reveal any information related to the medicine, but she revealed another piece of news, that is, her parents were really killed by her brother.

"Actually, it's not the first time. I've dealt with gangs from outer cities before, and they are very slippery and difficult to deal with."

"It's hard to say. There's no way to draw a conclusion without investigation. I suggest you investigate further. The situation in the outer city is complicated. What can we use as a basis for what the neighbors say? They may change neighbors several times a year.

And some people don’t want to get into trouble, so even if they know there is a problem, they won’t speak out.”

These words put a look of fear on the girl's face. She raised her head and looked helplessly at the two people in the room.

"I...I really don't know anything. My brother is indeed selling medicine, but I don't know who is behind him."

"If the crimes recorded are true and these people are innocent, is it necessary to continue investigating this case?"

Linna comforted the helpless girl and walked out of the house with her.

Seeing Lina fall into silence, Li Xun was not too surprised.

"I don't know. I know that my brother will take that medicine when he is unhappy, and he will beat me after taking it. I really don't know anything else."

"So, do you think all bad guys have to show a ferocious appearance? Real villains are very good at hiding themselves among ordinary people."

"Gang members are a group of guys who will tell other people's stories and ghosts, and they will only believe half of what they say."

"Then why do the neighbors say that you brother and sister get along harmoniously and that your brother loves you very much?"

Linna was speechless for a while, while Li Xun looked at her speechlessly.

"If an individual's will is above the law, then what need is there for the law? What need is there for the Sheriff's Department, the Knights, and the Tribunal?"

"Selling medicine, what kind of medicine is your brother selling?!"

"Officer, officer, you said you wanted to protect me, you can't ignore me, they will definitely kill me, they will definitely kill me!"

Although he said this, Li Xun still patted Linna on the shoulder and spoke seriously.

In this way, all the crimes related to Qiao Luen were correct, and his beheading was really not unjust at all.

Linna, who was still a little confused at first, immediately strengthened her belief because of Li Xun's words, and the two returned to the spacious intersection where the carriage stopped.

"Then... those are all disguised. My brother needs to show a positive and loving family appearance, so that no one will suspect him of selling drugs."

"You are right, no matter what, I will catch this murderer!"

Iris, who was guarding the carriage, spoke curiously, and then looked at the girl who had been crying behind the guard.

It was precisely because they were worried about what happened after their parents were killed that the brother and sister came to the Star City to make a living.

"You should go back to the police station with us first. Don't worry, we will definitely protect you."

"This must be your first time coming to a foreign city to handle a case, right?"

Several victims confessed previously concealed information, and the neighbors also admitted that they did not know the victims in detail. The real images of the victims began to get closer to the crimes written in the records.

"At present, except for five people who are still unsure, the other eight people can basically confirm that they did commit the crimes written on the record cards. Looking at it this way, the crimes committed by these thirteen people may be true.

Perhaps this trial was carried out by some fanatical believers among the people? After all, the blessing ceremony is approaching, and similar things have happened before. Fanatic believers conducted private trials under the guise of purifying the city."

After sorting out all the investigation results, Linna rubbed her slightly swollen head and said to Li Xun.

However, Li Xun didn't quite understand. Just because it was a 'just' trial, it had nothing to do with the witch?

Whether it is a god or a witch, does justice or evil mean anything to them?
