Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Unexpected Place
Qin Yi, though he couldn't reason it out himself, seeing someone else's support, felt more confident and said, "Uncle Lu, even an S-class like me and you are at a loss with this case, what can he possibly do? Can an N-class really be better than the two of us?"
Lu Hong was also an S-class Awakener; Qin Yi intended to align himself with Lu Hong.
However, Lu Hong paid no attention to this fellow but repeated to Lu Zhiwei, "Xiao Wei, go call him over."
"Okay, Dad."
Lu Zhiwei put away her notebook and ran outside.
About two minutes later, Xiang Beifei was dragged here by Lu Zhiwei, who had pulled and tugged him along.
"What's the meaning of this! I need to cultivate!"
Xiang Beifei was training well in the training room when Lu Zhiwei came over, and without saying anything else, she dragged him here.
The problem was, he was no match for Lu Zhiwei now and had no chance to resist.
"There's a case here; since your reasoning ability is top-notch, come and take a look for us."
Lu Zhiwei had wanted to see who between Xiang Beifei and Qin Yi had better reasoning ability, but Xiang Beifei didn't want to get involved.
Now she had a good excuse, and she suddenly got excited.
Seeing Xiang Beifei, Qin Yi's eyes darkened, and he said with a cold sneer, "What can an N-class like him figure out? Xiao Wei, you still hold hope for him, but he's probably just talking nonsense."
"You were mostly wrong in your reasoning just now, too!" Lu Zhiwei kindly reminded him.
"I..."
Qin Yi's face turned various shades of red and pale but he then said, "You should think of it this way, both Uncle Lu and I are S-class, and if we can't figure it out, then he has even less of a chance!"
"Who knows."
Lu Zhiwei thought of Lai Wuying's matter.
Qin Yi snorted lightly.
Then let's go.
Let me see what you're capable of!
I bet the moment you open your mouth, it'll be about passing through walls, invisibility, right?
Qin Yi inwardly hoped Xiang Beifei would make similar claims, so his previous reasoning wouldn't seem too foolish.
Xiang Beifei, unaware of what had happened, asked in confusion, "Could someone explain to me what exactly happened here?"
"Haha, do you think we are all gathered here for a party?" Qin Yi said in a sarcastic tone.
Lu Hong ignored Qin Yi, but watched Xiang Beifei with great expectation and explained, "The convict Wan Qiu we captured yesterday has escaped from prison."
"Escaped from prison?"
Xiang Beifei walked to the entrance of Detention Cell No.5, poked his head inside for a look but retracted it just two seconds later.
Seeing that he didn't even enter the cell, Qin Yi sneered to himself.
This guy doesn't understand anything. Does he really think he can infer anything by doing this?
Daydreaming!
Xiang Beifei scanned the corridor with a glance and then said, "Uncle Lu, you didn't check beneath your feet."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yi immediately seized the opportunity to mock, "Is this your reasoning ability? Checking beneath your feet? Are you suggesting looking at the floor tiles? Don't you know that no convict can pass through walls to leave? Checking the floor tiles, that's hilarious."
He completely forgot that he had just speculated Wan Qiu had escaped through the walls.
Lu Hong said, "I have checked already, whether inside the cells or the corridor, I have checked all the floor tiles, even scanned them."
"I'm not talking about floor tiles."
Xiang Beifei walked a few steps along the corridor, "The floor tiles of the corridor, Uncle Lu has checked, that I'm certain of. But—"
He glanced among the crowd and then laid eyes on Qin Yi, casually pointing at Qin Yi and saying, "You didn't check his shoe soles."
With Xiang Beifei pointing like that, Qin Yi instantly grew angry, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm their accomplice? I came here to solve the case; do you dare to doubt me?"
"The convict is under your shoe sole."
Xiang Beifei looked at Qin Yi.
Lu Hong realized something and was slightly taken aback!
"Fei Ya, scan his shoes!" Lu Hong commanded sternly.
Swish!
Fei Ya's eyes shone with a red light.
Immediately after, Lu Hong was shocked!
"He's actually hiding here!"
Lu Hong glared at Qin Yi coldly!
Qin Yi, suddenly targeted by Lu Hong, was also startled and asked without understanding, "Uncle Lu, what do you mean?"
"Take the chewing gum off your shoe sole!" Lu Hong said unequivocally.
"Chewing gum on my shoe sole? There's no chewing gum under my shoes!"
Qin Yi, puzzled by the question, instinctively lifted his foot and looked at the sole, only to be shocked a moment later.
Somehow, a piece of chewing gum had really stuck to the bottom of his shoe!
Lu Hong waved his hand, and a swipe of Spiritual Power passed over, lifting the chewing gum into midair.
Then, with a horizontal chop, the sharp edge of the flame sliced the chewing gum in half!
Crack!
The chewing gum burst open, and two figures tumbled out from it, looking very embarrassed.
"What?"
Qin Yi's eyes almost popped out!
"How could they be hiding in there?"
Xiao Cao and the other law enforcement officers also exclaimed in shock, utterly astonished!
How could people be hidden inside chewing gum?
What kind of system's ability was this?
Moreover—how did Xiang Beifei know?
To be clear, just a moment ago, Qin Yi, S-class genius of Liangzhou University, had gone through a series of reasoning, yet he had not found any trace of the two prisoners attempting to escape!
And among them, each law enforcement officer possessed unique skills tailored to dealing with criminals, especially the most experienced S-class Awakener, Lu Hong, who was present.
Yet, even with the combination of three S-class Awakeners and a bunch of R-class law enforcement officers, they had no clue about the jailbreak and were at their wits' end.
But then this N-grade Beifei just arrived, took less than two minutes, and casually found the prisoners!
It was simply too incredible!
How on earth had Beifei reasoned it out?
How had he deduced that the two suspects were hiding under Qin Yi's shoe?
And how had he noticed that there was a piece of chewing gum on the bottom of the shoe?
...
All faces were filled with disbelief!
Even the S-class prodigy, Qin Yi, was stunned!
A series of question marks flew around in their minds.
But no matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't understand the logic.
They quickly realized that only Xiang Beifei could answer this question.
However, by the time they thought to ask Xiang Beifei, they discovered he had already disappeared.
"Where's the person? Where's Beifei?"
"There!"
Everyone looked closely, and Xiang Beifei was walking back the way he came.
"Hey, wait, where are you going?"
Lu Zhiwei called out anxiously from behind.
"Cultivating, do not disturb."
With his hands in his pockets, Xiang Beifei walked along the corridor, his departing footsteps calm and serene.
Like a leaf fluttering with the wind, leisurely and carefree, his slender and skinny silhouette was elongated by the corridor lights, exuding an indescribable stylishness and elegance.
He disappeared at the end of the corridor without turning his head.
Leaving behind a group of people, shocked and staring at one another.
This young man's silhouette...
Could it really be that handsome!
To casually crack a case and leave without a trace?
But then again, after solving the case, at least explain a bit!
At the very least, tell us how you knew they were hiding there, hey!
Is solving such an important case really such a waste of your time?
The law enforcement officers looked at each other without a word, silent.
The doubts in their minds were still not resolved, making them especially uncomfortable.
How exactly did Beifei know that the criminals were hiding under Qin Yi's feet!!!
They needed Xiang Beifei's answer!
But it seemed that Xiang Beifei had no intention of staying longer at all, from being reluctantly dragged there by Lu Zhiwei to leaving after cracking the case, not even staying for two minutes!
It was as if he were just a passerby happening upon this place, solving a case that no one else could resolve, yet offering no further explanation.
Having done the deed, he shook off his sleeves and left, his merits and fame deeply concealed.
Is this what they call a true master?
