At the time of the crime, the only person seen on the surveillance footage entering the victim's home was the suspect. No other individuals were spotted.
So, who killed the family of three?
A ghost?
[Ding! Case trigger successful.]
[Detective God case sign-in unlocked.]
[Host, would you like to sign in?]
Tina Shen: ???
Where did this system pop up from?
It's scary when it suddenly appears like that!
We're human, can you show a little respect?
After hesitating for a moment, Tina Shen mentally muttered: Sign in!
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully signing in!]
[System reward: Skill – Firearms Expert!]
[System task issued: Solve the major dismemberment murder case!]
[Time limit to solve the case: Ten days!]
[If the host completes the task within the time limit, additional reward: System skill – King Butterfly's Nose!]
[If the host fails to complete the task within the time limit, the system will retract the given abilities!]
[Task time countdown begins...]
In an instant, a tidal wave of "firearms knowledge" forcibly flooded Tina Shen's brain.
Not only that, but her body was also imprinted with countless "firearms skills"...
The feeling was incredibly strange.
It was as if she inherently knew all about firearms and how to use them.
After her previous experience with the "Combat Expert" skill, she wasn't overly surprised.
But...
What was this "King Butterfly's Nose" skill?
Confused, Tina Shen took out her phone and searched for information about "King Butterfly."
She was taken aback by what she found.
King Butterfly: The creature with the most sensitive sense of smell, male monarch butterflies can detect the scent of female monarch butterflies from over ten kilometers away...
Tina Shen was stunned.
This was a sense of smell more powerful than a dog's?
Thinking back to the rewards she received after solving cases, like the "Hawk's Eye" skill, she now realized that her system wasn't just ordinary—it was incredibly powerful!
It was no longer the basic system she had once dismissed.
It was truly superhuman!
Thwack!
A hand suddenly slapped Tina Shen on the shoulder, almost giving her a heart attack.
It was like being scared out of her wits.
"Tina Shen, you gave me a fright."
She turned to see it was Kevin Guo.
"Don't mess around," Tina Shen said, a little flustered.
Kevin Guo chuckled. "Don't call me 'Master' anymore. I can't handle it!"
"Ha," Tina Shen laughed.
Sometimes, the police force resembled the military.
It was all about seniority, rank, and strength.
A skilled soldier, even if only a sergeant, could have countless officers, colonels, or even generals under their belt. Sometimes, a general had to salute such a sergeant first.
Tina Shen's "skills" were now well-known in the criminal investigation unit.
The higher-ups had mentioned that once the warehouse murder case was solved, there would be a collective third-class merit award and a personal third-class merit award for her.
A time-limited case could be both beneficial and risky.
If you solved it in time, you would be rewarded generously. But if you failed to solve it, the consequences would be severe.
The system's internal warnings were nothing compared to the potential consequences. If things went wrong, it could even lead to "being stripped of your rank."
At worst, Tina Shen could end up no longer being a police officer.
Once the warehouse murder case was cracked, the rewards and bonuses would surely come.
Everyone in the unit knew that the personal third-class merit was reserved for Tina Shen!
Who wouldn't envy that?
Even Kevin Guo, after sixteen years of service and having received a few honorary medals, had never earned a third-class merit.
And third-class merit, while not as prestigious as second or first-class merit, was still highly regarded.
In the police system, second-class and first-class merit were often earned with one's life on the line.
Even third-class merit was something to be proud of.
With such an award, Tina Shen would be automatically promoted to a higher rank once she became a full officer.
Yes, promotions in rank were linked to merit in the police system.
While rank didn't necessarily correlate with position, it definitely affected salary and future opportunities.
With one rank up, she'd earn an extra 300 yuan a month.
But more importantly...
Without the right rank, you couldn't be promoted, even if you were talented!
"How's the case file looking?" Kevin Guo asked, eyeing the documents in front of Tina Shen with a smile.
This girl had real skills. She might even find some clues.
"The suspect doesn't have an alibi, and there are traces of his involvement at the scene. However…" Tina Shen shook her head and said firmly, "It's unlikely he's the murderer."
"What?" Kevin Guo was stunned. "How can you be so sure?"
You haven't even been to the scene, and you're already sure he didn't kill anyone?
"Not sure if it was negligence or oversight on the part of the investigating officers, but they missed something crucial," Tina Shen pointed to the case file. "The time doesn't add up!"
"The time?" Kevin Guo looked puzzled.
Then, his eyes lit up, and with a quick remark, he rushed off. "Wait here!"
Wait for what… Tina Shen was confused.
Soon, she was called into the meeting room.
The leaders, including the captain and vice-captain, were all there, their eyes fixed on Tina Shen.
"Explain. What's going on with the time?" Sam Zhao asked, his voice deep.
The worst thing was dealing with teammates who couldn't think straight... Tina Shen silently sighed in frustration.
If the case file had cleared everything up, I would've been able to solve it faster. Why waste all these brain cells?
Since the leaders had asked, Tina Shen straightened her expression.
"The time of the suspect's crime doesn't add up..."
