Chapter 99: This Time, We're Deploying the Lie Detector

On the screen.

As the camera panned.

The viewers quickly saw four men in prison garb with shaved heads.

Locked up in four separate small rooms.

Then the camera cut back to Reporter Xiao Yang, who continued her introduction:

"Although the four tomb raiders have already been caught."

"The treasures inside Cao Cao's tomb are still missing to this day."

"The goal of the upcoming interrogation is to extract clues from the four criminal suspects."

"Worth mentioning is."

"After learning that the tomb raiders had been arrested."

"Professor Ding Lao, who had been hospitalized for heart disease and high blood pressure… his condition improved rapidly."

"He has now completed his discharge procedures and is rushing over to our location."

"And the person we are about to interview next…"

"Is the person specially dispatched by the provincial central authorities — the head of the Cao Cao Tomb Task Force, Captain Xu Qiong."

As the camera slowly shifted.

A female police officer in her thirties who looked quite capable and efficient.

Slowly appeared on camera.

This was the image of a dashing female police officer.

A neat ponytail, paired with a slender figure and tall stature.

Her looks weren't outstanding, but she won on temperament.

Her entire being exuded a heroine-like aura.

"Friends watching, this is Captain Xu Qiong."

"She has previously led teams in cracking major cases such as the 'November 7 Arson Case' and the 'Cross-Province Serial Murder Case'."

"And the task force established after this theft from Cao Cao's tomb is led by Captain Xu Qiong."

"Captain Xu Qiong, may I ask what you plan to do next?"

Unlike Captain Ding He, who was the type of…

Old-school grassroots detective, honed through years of experience… who knew the ins and outs of every trade.

The old-school detective's method of deduction starts from logic and the weaknesses of human nature.

Handling cases by linking each clue and unraveling them thread by thread.

Xu Qiong, on the other hand, belonged to the cutting-edge technical school.

Belonging to an entirely different case-handling system.

Under this system.

A footprint, a fingerprint, a heartbeat's speed…

Under the new techniques mastered by Xu Qiong, all could be analyzed for important information.

And the reason they were able to capture the four tomb raiders and bring them to justice in just two short days.

The modern techniques Xu Qiong employed were indispensable to that.

Now facing the camera, she explained:

"The higher-ups attach great importance to the Cao Cao Tomb theft case, so they had me bring new techniques to crack it."

"Therefore, for interrogation, we have brand-new technological support."

"First of all, the lie-detection equipment."

"After collecting data on the neural signals of the cerebral cortex, we can, through the relevant frequency bands of the neural signals…"

"Effectively determine whether the criminal suspect's answers are valid."

"With an accuracy rate of over 99.9%."

"Under these circumstances."

"Behaviors such as suspects lying, colluding on their stories, or fabricating facts… are utterly meaningless before us."

As a technician transferred from the technical division to the criminal investigation division.

The fact that Xu Qiong could become someone capable of handling matters on her own naturally meant she had her own strengths.

Before the camera.

She told the viewers in the livestream.

That the lie detector used by their task force this time—

Was a lie detector in the true sense of the word!

Not the crude heart-rate machine invented during World War II.

After all, an opportunity with such extremely high public attention comes once in a blue moon.

Officer Xu Qiong naturally wanted to, in front of the camera.

Give a proper showcase of her criminal investigation team's case-handling techniques.

Now facing the camera, Xu Qiong said calmly:

"We can fully determine, through special techniques, whether a criminal suspect is lying."

"A person's mouth may tell lies, but a person's brain will not."

Before the camera in the livestream.

The viewers listened to Captain Xu Qiong's introduction and were utterly dumbfounded.

Holy cow!

Has the current level of technology already developed to this point?

【Damn! The technology nowadays is just too awesome!】

【For the laymen, Officer Xu Qiong was once a technological researcher for the national team!】

【It is said that this Criminal Investigation Department was... one of the first departments in the country to trial-use polygraphs!?】
