Chapter 229

No, wait, hold on, damn, oh damn, wait a sec, is something off here, did something go wrong somewhere along the way?

Everyone looked at each other.

Li Tian stared at the footprints and said, "How much of a margin of error?"

"Can't tell much of a difference. The fingerprint completion technique Shouzi taught me actually relies on big data—building completion on top of big data. In this world, the general direction of fingerprints doesn't really differ that much, and feet are the same. People with that kind of rare variation are common, but feet being that small is rare."

Li Tian was speechless and said, "You better get this calculation right for me this time."

"What, did you grab the wrong person?"

Li Tian didn't speak up, then said, "The other party confessed on their own and laid out every detail. What do you think we can do? Besides, the other party has no kids—on the household register there are only two people."

Chen Fan rose on his tiptoes, thought for a moment, and gave a swing.

"Mm, roughly swung like this."

Li Tian watched Chen Fan's motion and said, "Uh, this move... damn it, I know who it is. No wonder, no wonder the killer knew the details so well—the other party practices martial arts."

Practices martial arts?

It seemed that among Li Tian's original list of suspects, one person had appeared.

At this point, Li Tian said, "I've already contacted people to reprocess this case. The thing is, this case is probably going to cost money—how much compensation, that's unknown. This case has actually been going on for quite a while now. I don't know whether the person who went in is dead or not."

The call went through, and the other party gave an answer. This person performed fairly well, so the time was extended.

Then there's something to be said about this matter.

Soon, Li Tian had people start making arrests.

Actually, there are people who substitute for others and impersonate the killer, but what they need to face is high-intensity interrogation.

But the police aren't all-powerful. The details of interrogation—anyone with the right mindset can prepare for them in advance.

With sufficient evidence and an active surrender, the circumstances are mitigated, and indeed they won't die.

Li Tian looked at Chen Fan and said, "How did you judge it was a young person?"

"Jumped in. I told you—look at the depth. If you didn't jump in, how could it be that deep? Stand on your tiptoes and try—how long can you hold it?"

Li Tian understood the answer and said, "Mm, then indeed a man of that age couldn't hold out too long, and it requires pushing off from the tiptoes. Only by deliberately doing so could it be done."

Li Tian looked at the crowd below and said, "Do you think it's funny?"

The students one after another didn't dare speak.

In the observation room, Qin Ming said, "Do you guys feel like this is a slap in the face?"

Everyone didn't speak up.

Actually, in their hearts they did have a bit of that thought. After all, what Li Tian had been thinking was to make things a little hard for Chen Fan, to test where Chen Fan's limits were. But it clearly felt like this time, something seemed to have gone wrong.

Li Tian failed, because Chen Fan won.

Teacher He said, "Seems like, Teacher Qin Ming, don't you think Li Tian failed?"

Qin Ming said, "A person needs the courage to speak out. Li Tian wasn't born a detective. Every single time he speaks out his own thoughts—if he's wrong, it's fine. If you're wrong, others will correct you. When working cases at the police station, no one worries at all about you making mistakes, because if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter—it's still a line of thinking. After everyone shoots it down, you just keep going and say something new, and that's it."

"We are never afraid of failure, nor afraid of making mistakes. Every failure, every mistake, represents that we are one step closer to the truth."

"A bunch of big shots getting together for a meeting—you guys haven't seen it. That scene is the real lively one. All kinds of people are laying out their own directions of inference—some wrong, some right. If you're right, you get a cigarette. If you're wrong, well, you're wrong—digest it, summarize it, and that's enough."

Everyone fell silent.

Li Tian said, "You guys laughing at me is normal, I don't care, and I don't need to use my position to pressure you. I only hope that in the future, if your leader asks you and wants you to speak your own line of thinking, remember—dare to guess boldly, it's fine. Wrong is wrong, no one will care. Just go ahead and speak. What I'm afraid of is you guys saying nothing at all. Then you'll spend your whole life only following behind others to catch people."

Li Tian stared at the footprints and said, "Mm, these footprints—the method's still off. Shouldn't be holding that kind of knife, should be holding something sharper. How could a knife like that easily chop off a head?"

Li Tian was silent for a long while, then said, "How about you come have tea with me. Really, let me take you for tea. Kid, did you go to the scene? I'm starting to suspect now."

Chen Fan couldn't be bothered to respond and said, 'I just feel this guy's technique is crude, and he's being clever with himself, thinking his preparations are very thorough. Boring, no challenge. Got any new cases?'

"Nope."

At this point, Li Tian and Chen Fan's class was over. Surrounded by the students, the two walked toward the outside of the school.

"No need to see me off."

Li Tian began speaking very proudly.

The students gathered around Chen Fan and said, "Chen Fan, give us an autograph, will you?"

Damn,.

Li Tian was completely speechless.

At this moment Chen Fan pointed at the person in the corner and said, "That person—is he from your police academy?"

Everyone looked over and saw a man who had just landed.

Even Li Tian laughed.

Several students instantly perked up, and then a whole crowd surged over in a dark mass.

Big bro, you're really something else. Climbing the wall to get into a police academy—what were you thinking?

Li Tian leaned close to Chen Fan's ear and said, "Do me a favor, personal request."

"What can you give me?"

"Two packs of cigarettes, enough?"

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "I only have one request. I help you out, and I get to write on your bald head."

"What do you want to write?"

"Hit me?"
