Standing at the doorway, Luo Fei glanced into the room, noticing that the environment inside had undergone a significant change.

Although the place was a mess, Luo Fei's profiling domain completely covered the area, allowing him to discern clues from the current state of the scene layout.

The corridor and the counter at the front had been smashed to bits.

However, the indentation in the smashed area suggested that someone had entered from the front and then began to destroy things on both sides together.

The edge fragments and the tempered strips on the counter were perfectly avoided, directly breaking the center to take the goods.

Methodical and clear in sequence, even an outsider couldn't have explored this area so thoroughly without being familiar with it.

This indicates that the intruders were likely brought in by someone.

The damage at the doorway was obviously deliberate; the noise made was to cover up something else.

Under normal circumstances, the glass used in such thick street shops is quite sturdy. Moreover, this being a jewelry store, the deliberate dispersive destruction was just a distraction.

"Luo Fei!"

Liao Xingyu, who had already walked ahead, called back to him, pulling Luo Fei out of his thoughts.

Had he just been zoning out?

"Coming."

Luo Fei then walked inside.

Since it was early in the morning, only the owner had arrived. Last night's on-duty employee was standing shivering nearby, looking quite frightened.

Who wouldn't be scared in such a predicament? A slight misstep could cost their life...

The store also had a sales assistant and a stock clerk who hadn't arrived yet, but the owner had already messaged them to come back immediately.

Luo Fei leaned against the wall, calming himself first.

Realizing he had been somewhat engrossed earlier, Luo Fei understood that with the profiling domain's limits not entirely unlocked, the scope he could explore was limited.

His consciousness would be drawn in this localized field.

Meaning that only by standing still could he fully expand the field.

This would lead to some loss of external response, only being called or stimulated by something could bring him back to awareness.

However, it didn't affect much, given his identity and the position he took each time, there was no other impact for now.

He just needed to solve the case quickly and unlock the full potential of his profiling domain.

"Officer, this is too much!"

"It's utterly heinous! I've seen TV shows about robberies and high-intelligence crimes, but this demolition-like robbery is the first I've seen. You understand my situation, right?"

The owner lamented heavily about the crime, and from his accent, it seemed he wasn't a local.

Wang Lei and Zhao Hai promptly assisted in calming the owner's anger, as it appeared the owner was on the verge of losing his temper.

After all, the scene inside the store was even more tragic than at the entrance.

The counter at the front and the surrounding display cases had been pried apart, leaving them in shambles, with not only the contents stolen.

Even some items on the walls, including fake ones, had been taken.

This robbery was too thorough!

"Team Leader Luo, what do you think?"

After glancing around, Liao Xingyu furrowed his brows, at a loss without leads or a direction for investigation, feeling somewhat awkward if they had to keep waiting.

Luo Fei raised his hand to stroke the counter before him; there wasn't much left at the crime scene to retrieve.

The shattered edges and broken glass shards instantly sparked Luo Fei's inspiration.

He observed the hammering marks in front of him...

"Team Leader Liao, if a blunt object were used to hit this tempered glass, how would it break?"

"It should crack from the center, with local cracks following around, then shattering as a whole without breaking into pieces. Of course, this applies to tempered glass with strong adhesion."

"But look at the state here..."

Luo Fei pointed.

Despite the severe damage, it didn't hinder his detailed observation.

"First, it broke from the center, then split from the sides, with a neat cut in the middle and jagged around, indicating it wasn't a blunt object but a professional demolition tool, exceptionally sharp and forceful."

"What?"

Liao Xingyu was taken aback.

"Could it be a firefighter's axe? But even a firefighter's axe wouldn't create such a cut break state."

"No, it's even more formidable than a firefighter's axe."

"Let's not guess what it is; reasoning backward, could a woman achieve this?"

Liao Xingyu pondered.

Wang Lei, who was taking photos nearby, came over.

"Team Leader Liao, no need to think further, it's nearly impossible."

"How do you know?"

Liao Xingyu was puzzled. At a crime scene, anything was possible; he didn't understand why Wang Lei was so confident in his statement. Did he have a new discovery?

"Look over there; it almost looks like the whole row of glass was hacked into segments. Even though it's tempered glass, to smash it open requires significant arm strength. Plus, if there really was enough force, precise control is needed..."

"I'm saying it's almost impossible because if it were a woman, skillfully smashing this open to take what's needed would require practice, at least a few years of moving bricks on a construction site."

"To develop such strength as if cleaving a mountain with an axe!"

Wang Lei demonstrated a downward smashing motion with both hands as he spoke.
