Chapter 788 New Discovery

2024-07-19

After running out of the court, Yu Jin headed for the “crime scene” without looking back. He originally thought it would be difficult to find, but it turned out that he had misjudged the commotion yesterday – everyone on Fontaine Street was discussing this matter!

It is not enough to just discuss it. Some people even called their friends and said in groups of three or five that they wanted to go there and take a look.

After all, the explosion and fire last night were really rare. For the people of Fontaine who love to watch the excitement, it would be a shame not to go and watch.

So Yu Jin didn’t need to look at the map or ask for directions. He just followed a group of people and soon arrived at the ravaged street.

“Wow! Was this blasted out by humans? Could this have been a chemical plant?”

“Humph! What do you think? I heard that this was done by the executive officer. The strength of that kind of person is beyond our imagination.”

“Back off, back off! Don’t destroy the scene!”

The broken streets were full of gravel and cracks, and the melted and re-solidified ground was bumpy and as messy as fur that had been rubbed hard.

Everything here is completely different from the orderly rest of Fontaineland, so it’s no wonder that the onlookers would exclaim in amazement.

The curiosity of the people in nearby Fontaine was fully satisfied, but the security guards in charge of the guard were in a terrible situation.

The makeshift isolation belt could not stop the curious people of Fontaine at all. Those with better manners were still outside commenting, while those with lesser manners had already run directly in and made the glass floor crackle under their feet.

This made the security team members busy and confused. They were either driving away the people who ran in or on their way to drive them away.

“Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Get out now and don’t destroy this place!”

A security guard saw Yu Jin running over the cordon and immediately wanted to expel him.

However, Yu Jin was not at all panicked when he saw this, because he came prepared!

“I have proof!”

As he said this, he took out the certificate given to him by the Law Enforcement Court.

“Tadalia… is he the agent of that executive officer?” The nearby security guards gathered around, and after they confirmed that it was him, they stopped bothering Yu Jin.

But to be on the safe side, someone still followed Yu Jin – mainly because they were afraid that he would destroy the scene.

“Executive…how come even the agent is so strange?” The man couldn’t help but mutter a few words under his breath when he saw Yu Jin’s strange attire.

“Shouldn’t you be concerned about my investigative ability? Why are you always focusing on my appearance?”

Ember raised an eyebrow in response.

“Investigative ability? With all due respect, agents are often just going through the motions.”

“Go through the procedure? How do you say that?”

Yu Jin scratched his head. Could there be some twists and turns here?

Upon hearing this, the security team member squatted down and touched the ground carefully.

“The solidified rock is dark in color, with a smooth surface and seamless interior. It is preliminarily estimated that it solidified as a whole and the time taken was no more than 24 hours.”

After that, he gave Yu Jin a look. Why is the agent system more of a formality? Because many people simply don’t have the ability to handle cases.

After many agents arrived at the scene, they could only watch, and it was the security team that did the hard work.

But this time is different from before, is Yu Jin an ordinary person?

“Hmm… the land mass is trending from south to north, and its thickness is gradually decreasing. The location where the lava erupted… should be here!”

Yu Jin held his chin and stepped on the corner of the street. This was not the end. After the demonstration by the security team just now, he had a clear understanding of the agent’s work.

So he took out a notebook.

“There are spiral tree-like penetration patterns on the rock surface. It should be a move like throwing thunder. The source… is here!”

Yu Jin wrote and drew on the notebook while sticking purple marks on the broken ground.

“There are scratches all around, and they are scattered in a ring shape. Some of the marks have residual lightning elements… Sword Qi? Almost.”

He came to another position and repeated the previous action.

“The condensate rock is tilted, there must have been a big explosion here!”

“There’s a dent here. It’s a sign of heavy pressure. Was someone knocked out?”

“Footprints? In a series? It seems that the young master’s opponent is quite strong.”

……

The embers were running back and forth on the ruined streets, and the security guards who had been squatting on the ground were already stunned.

“Hey! I roughly know what’s going on.” Pulling up the stunned security guard on the ground, Yu Jin patted him on the shoulder and said.

“Do you know this?”

The guards looked incredulous.

“Nonsense, I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to fighting, I’m very experienced!” Yu Jin said confidently.

“Look, at first they should have stood in these two positions.”

“The man on the other side of the lord attacked first, causing a huge explosion, then the lord set off a mine, and then the other side used some unknown means to melt the place, and then the two of them started hand-to-hand combat…”

The security guard was stunned by the reconstruction of the scene of the embers. It took him a long time to recover from the shock.

“Are you interested in being a consultant in our law court?” He shook Yu Jin’s hand with enthusiasm.

“Are there many murders here?”

“Uh… not much.”

“That’s it. I can’t do anything if it’s not an armed conflict. Besides, I can’t analyze the turtle punch.”

Yu Jin spread his hands to show his helplessness. His analysis just now was so smooth, but the two young masters were more disciplined and bold in their moves.

If he was directly covered with a sack and hit with a brick, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“Huh… okay.” The guard had no choice but to give up. He looked up and around, and suddenly felt bored.

“You’ve seen this place thoroughly. I don’t think there’s any useful information left. Whether you want to restore the original situation of the case or defend the bailiff, the next step should be to walk around the area.”

The guard looked up and suggested to Ember, “We finally met a guy who looks like a great detective, so we should make good use of him.”

Apart from anything else, as long as it can reduce my workload, it’s not a loss.

“It seems to be true!” After hearing this, Yu Jin thought for a while, then hurriedly pulled up the cordon and ran out of the scene.

But he soon began to doubt his life – the area around the scene was full of people, and even if he wanted to investigate, he had no idea where to start.

“When do you think the judge will hold the trial? I will definitely go and see it then!”

“Tsk, it’s not certain whether he will be tried or not. After all, he is the executive officer.”

“There must be a trial, so that I don’t have to pay him back the money I owe him! Hahaha!”

……

Yu Jin, who was walking in the crowd, moved his ears. If he heard correctly, did someone know the young master just now?

Pushing through the crowd and walking towards the source of the sound, Yu Jin saw a group of burly men.

What surprised him a little was that the expression on the sturdy man’s face was completely different from that of the others. Most of the others responded with a melon-eating mentality, or at most gloating. But they were different.

This group of people looked like they were drunk, with red faces.

“Do you know the young master?”

“You are……”

“His agent is considered to be acquainted with him.”

“I’m sorry! I just said that nonsense. We are raising money for you!”

After hearing that Yu Jin and Gongzi knew each other, the strong men who were just excited immediately slid to their knees.

Seeing them huddling their heads like ostriches, someone who didn’t know would think they were seeing a monster.

“How many bottles did you drink? Are you so drunk?”

Yu Jin bent down and picked up the bottles and cans on the ground. They were really amazing, drinking out of nothing in broad daylight.

“Wait…, this thing…, isn’t it a bar?”

The empty glass bottle was spinning, and under the sunlight, the remaining liquid inside reflected a blue light.

“What is this?”

Yu Jin shook the bottle in his hand and asked the strong men.

“It’s just wine, but it’s good wine, strong and cheap.” Several people responded without thinking.

It has been a long time since I have come across something so inexpensive and of such high quality. If the wine was not in bulk, they would really like to support the manufacturer and buy more of their products.

“Where did you buy it? Take me to see it.”

Yu Jin rolled his eyes, patted a few people on the shoulders and said, “If we catch this, will it be considered as making amends for the young master?”

“You like wine too? Then you’re right. This wine is excellent. I guarantee you’ll never forget it once you take a sip.”

“I don’t drink. Besides, you have mixed something in your wine.”

Everyone thought Yu Jin’s words were just something he was too embarrassed to admit. They chuckled and led the way.

Away from the scene, Yu Jin followed a few burly men with faces as red as monkeys’ butts and shuttled through the streets.

Soon, they stopped near an old newsstand.

“No, where are the people?” One of them staggered to the newsstand and patted the window covered with stale newspapers in confusion.

But no matter how he flapped, there was no response at all, which suddenly made him feel angry.

“Damn it, I’m going to kick this broken door of yours open!” The man raised his foot and was about to kick it hard.

But just before he kicked, his thigh was firmly grasped by an iron hand.
