When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Him?

Xiang Beifei was seriously swinging his fists in the training room, pondering the violent gust he had just grasped.

"Woof woof woof!"

Xiaohei barked cheerfully.

He turned around and saw that Xiaohei was holding an amulet.

"Oh, this thing!"

Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

It was a late-stage Qi-Controlling item, which could be used to light up the stars.

He still needed to find a few more system rewards to gain his third ability.

But he wasn't in a hurry for now; he first needed to reach the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling, and then he could light up the third star.

Xiang Beifei resumed practicing for a while until Xiaohei reminded him that it was already eleven o'clock.

Having returned home so late yesterday, Grandfather was worried and had stayed up waiting for him, probably waiting again today, he decided to go home early. He got up, took a shower in the changing room, and then left the training room.

"Aha!"

He had only taken a few steps when Lu Zhiwei appeared in front of him, lively as ever.

"I didn't interrupt your practice," she quickly said.

"Hmm."

Xiang Beifei responded.

"Then, could you quietly tell me about your reasoning process earlier?"

Lu Zhiwei lowered her voice and waved the notebook in her hand.

Her face full of a thirst for knowledge, she wanted to know how Xiang Beifei had deduced that those two people were hiding in the tiles, but when Xiang Beifei had left earlier, he had asked her not to disturb him.

Desperate to learn deductive skills from Xiang Beifei, she had no choice but to respectfully wait outside, almost dying of anticipation.

Xiang Beifei was somewhat exasperated.

How could he teach this!

Yesterday, when he saw Wan Qiu's Reclamation System, he had already warned Lu Hong to be cautious of this man.

But at that time it was just a caution, he couldn't tell Lu Hong what the man's system was, and he still couldn't say now.

However, Lu Zhiwei kept staring at him intently, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'm your guardian envoy, just teach me a little, just a little bit!"

Lu Zhiwei was earnest in her plea.

Xiang Beifei sighed.

"Alright, it depends on your insight. I'll roughly analyze it for you; how much you can learn depends on your fate," he said.

"Tell me, tell me, I'm taking notes!"

Lu Zhiwei nodded vigorously.

"Wait, let me listen to your analytical process too."

Lu Hong approached from somewhere, smiling as he looked at Xiang Beifei.

Xiang Beifei's performance was all observed by him.

"Uncle Lu, did they confess?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"They confessed, but I still want to know how you deduced it."

Lu Hong himself possessed an S-grade Investigation System, but this type of system relied on clues to track, and the coordination between Wan Qiu and Lv He was so seamless that they left no traces.

Although he had interrogated them about the incident, he still had not grasped Xiang Beifei's thought process in solving the case.

He needed to know what Xiang Beifei's reasoning process was.

"Alright, it's actually not that difficult."

Xiang Beifei prepared his phrasing in his mind, then said:

"First, this case had to be reasoned from Wan Qiu's system. Initially, I also did not know Wan Qiu's system, so I could only conjecture—if he was digging under the bank for the vault, then he might possess a system related to digging. Combining that with him hiding his accomplice under the bridge pier, I thought he might concoct the same method again."

Lu Zhiwei quickly wrote down everything Xiang Beifei said.

"Then why were you so sure they weren't hiding in the detention room? Why didn't you search the detention room?"

Lu Zhiwei never quite figured this out because just after Xiang Beifei had found out what had happened here, he stuck his head into the detention room, pulled it back out after just two seconds, and didn't even bother to go inside.

Xiang Beifei explained,"That's because I trust Uncle Lu's investigative abilities! Uncle Lu's raven is really incredible. In such a small detention room, if they were hiding there, how could they possibly deceive Uncle Lu? After all, he's an S-rank powerhouse! Killing those petty thieves in an instant, with various scanning methods activated, where could those two possibly have escaped to?"

Lu Zhiwei suddenly realized and then turned to her father excitedly,"Dad, is what Beifei said right?"

"It should... it probably is?"

Lu Hong suddenly felt embarrassed by the praise.

"Although Uncle Lu didn't immediately think about how Wan Qiu and Lv He mysteriously disappeared, actually, if Uncle Lu just had some time, he would definitely have searched them, and then he would have figured it out."

Xiang Beifei gave Lu Hong another way out.

"Dad, is that so?" Lu Zhiwei looked at Lu Hong expectantly.

"Uh... roughly... it probably is."

Lu Hong laughed awkwardly and could only take the hint, else he would appear too undignified in front of his daughter.

Actually, Qin Yi hadn't gone to the detention room at all that evening; he was with Lu Zhiwei the whole time and had an alibi. After the incident, Lu Hong was the first one on the scene, by which time, the two were already gone.

Normally, Lu Hong wouldn't have suspected Qin Yi.

If it weren't for Beifei mentioning it, he might have really overlooked it.

"Keep going," Lu Hong said.

"First, I guessed their system. Since they could dig under the ground to rob a bank, couldn't they also dig through tiles? The walls of the enforcement office are very sturdy, but the tiles are just ordinary tiles. There's only one way out, so they must rely on someone else's power, meaning they can only rely on outsiders to escape from prison."

Xiang Beifei explained it all logically.

Lu Zhiwei grew even more impressed and asked again, "Then why did you think of Qin Yi's shoe soles first?"

"If it were me, I would also choose Qin Yi because he isn't a law enforcement officer. If they chose someone like Uncle Lu, who is an S-rank person, that would be like walking into a trap. Choosing other law enforcement officers wouldn't be safe either, as law enforcement officers' systems definitely relate to abilities like handling cases and investigating.

Without being sure of their abilities, risks could easily arise, and thus outsiders are the only option."

"I knew Qin Yi should have been helping you solve the case last night, but those two, detained from the start, definitely didn't know about Qin Yi's deductive abilities and thus regarded him as just an ordinary Awakener, making him the best choice."

Xiang Beifei's explanation was rational and well-founded.

However, Lu Hong grasped the essential point and asked, "It seems you had already ruled out Qin Yi as their accomplice early on?"

Xiang Beifei said incredulously, "Him?"

Lu Hong paused.

Him.

These two words, plain and simple.

Yet, they carried a profound meaning.

So, to this S-rank genius from Liangzhou University, a freshman no less, Qin Yi didn't even qualify to be an accomplice for Wan Qiu and Lv He in Beifei's eyes.

This boy wasn't uncompetitive, he simply disdained to lower his status to argue with someone like Qin Yi!

They simply weren't on the same level.

Lu Hong was deeply moved.

It turned out that Qin Yi had never really been looked at properly by Xiang Beifei from the beginning to the end.

——

For Xiang Beifei, no matter how these people tried to hide, their system interface would always shine brightly.

He looked around and then noticed two system interfaces on the soles of Qin Yi's shoes!

There was no need for reasoning.

And the act of creating a space in chewing gum, that was all written on Wan Qiu's "Reclamation System."

The system was costly when creating a space in small objects, but the chewing gum was something Wan Qiu had created long ago, serving as his last resort escape tool.

The legendary Xianxia black technology—"storage ring" could create a vast space.

So, a "storage chewing gum"—

What's so surprising about that?
