Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Judging People
Qin Yi looked at Lu Zhiwei, who had been following him and taking notes seriously, feeling quite proud.
He knew that Lu Zhiwei wanted to learn reasoning abilities, and with his own performance today at the enforcement squad, he should have impressed her, right?
"Xiao Wei, what do you think? Has my reasoning ability inspired you?"
Qin Yi walked over to Lu Zhiwei, asked with a proud smile.
But he quickly realized that Lu Zhiwei did not seem to admire him as he had imagined; instead, she was pondering something.
"What\'s the matter? Xiao Wei, you seem preoccupied?" Qin Yi asked.
"No, I\'m just thinking about something."
Lu Zhiwei was biting her pen, and although Qin Yi had shown off his skills tonight and convinced many people, she felt that many of Qin Yi\'s deductions weren\'t that difficult, as they all came from existing evidence.
They didn\'t leave as deep an impression as Xiang Beifei had.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I\'m thinking about Beifei," Lu Zhiwei said.
"Thinking about him?"
Qin Yi\'s expression darkened for a moment before he squeezed out a smile, "Xiao Wei, you don\'t still think that high school student named Xiang Beifei has any reasoning ability, do you? He ran away the moment he heard he was going to compete with me in reasoning. I\'ve said it before, an N-level nobody, pretending to be something he\'s not. The moment I take action, he\'s exposed.
How can he compare to us at S-level?"
Lu Zhiwei furrowed her brows, thought for a moment, and pointing at the bald man in the interrogation room, said, "Then can you tell me, what did that bald man do wrong?"
"The bald man?"
Qin Yi looked towards the man named Lv He, thought for a while, and began walking towards him.
"Where are you going?" Lu Zhiwei called from behind.
"To inquire, of course! Without asking, how can the case be solved?" Qin Yi replied.
However, Lu Zhiwei said, "Aren\'t you able to find clues from various traces? Then just look at him from a distance and tell me what characteristics this bald man has, and what crime he is most likely to have committed."
"That\'s a bit difficult," Qin Yi said.
"Just now, when Beifei looked at him, he identified this bald man\'s occupation and crime almost perfectly with a single glance," Lu Zhiwei said.
Hearing this, Qin Yi knew he had to prove himself.
If an N-level nobody could identify the traits of this bald man, could he, an S-level genius who had gathered so many peoples\' Reasoning Talents, possibly fail?
Qin Yi stood outside the interrogation room, staring at the bald man, observing him for quite some time.
Hmm, his fingernails were very long, looking as if they hadn\'t been trimmed for a while.
What are long nails good for?
Fighting?
Considering his slender fingers, suitable for mutating into various types of claws, and also being bald, perhaps it was due to mutation-caused hair loss.
The skin on his face was slack, but his eyes were still lively, combining the abnormal fingers and nails, these characteristics seemed to be the lingering effects left behind to fit the physical mutation of anthropomorphism.
That is to say, this guy might have awakened some sort of Mutation System that could mutate his body into a beast?
Without the ability to inquire and not allowed to approach, Qin Yi couldn\'t learn more details, and could only make a rough analysis based solely on the appearance, clothing, and physical features of the other party.
This speculation should be pretty accurate!
He coughed and said, "Xiao Wei, if I\'m not wrong, this person has the ability to transform into a beast, and he must have been brought in for fighting and disturbing public order, right?"
Qin Yi waited somewhat smugly for Lu Zhiwei\'s affirmative response.
He expected Lu Zhiwei to ask in amazement how he figured it out, after which he could grandly analyze everything, certainly more thoroughly than that N-level high school student!
Wouldn\'t it then be clear who was superior and who was inferior?
However, Lu Zhiwei looked at Qin Yi with a strange expression and shook her head, "No."
"How could it not be?"
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback.
"His ability has nothing to do with transformation into a beast," said Lu Zhiwei.
Qin Yi\'s face struggled to maintain composure.
His system worked by drawing on the collective wisdom, meaning he had absorbed the reasoning talents of the seventeen people present; it was as if those seventeen people had come to a conclusion together, and he had then claimed their conclusion as his own work.
But if none of those seventeen people could figure it out, then he definitely couldn\'t either!
And this bald man before him obviously fell into the category where if one didn\'t know the opponent\'s system, it was easy to be misled.
"Then what\'s the deal?" Qin Yi asked.
"Beifei has already figured it out," Lu Zhiwei didn\'t immediately answer, but instead looked doubtfully at Qin Yi, "How could you get it wrong?"
Qin Yi\'s face twitched.
"Real deduction is not about watching from a distance, but through conversation, picking out the flaws in the other person\'s words, so this doesn\'t prove anything," Qin Yi quickly said.
"But in many cases, you don\'t have the opportunity to talk to the criminal, at most you have surveillance footage, and if you can\'t identify the criminal\'s features from the footage, then how can you solve the cases?"
Lu Zhiwei, having awakened the Super Police System, understood various types of case analyses and generalizations, even if her deductive abilities were quite poor.
Qin Yi was left speechless for a moment, internally cursing before defending himself, "I admit that my people-reading skills aren\'t very accurate, because my specialty is reasoning through various types of cases, not observing people from afar."
After a while, he added defensively, "Moreover, you said he figured out what kind of person this bald man is, maybe that guy was just bluffing you? Perhaps he already knew this bald man, knew what he did in the past, so of course, he came up with an answer when you asked him."
Though Lu Zhiwei hadn\'t considered this point and thought it was unlikely, she couldn\'t be certain, so she didn\'t argue.
Qin Yi glanced at his own system.
After he chose the [Reasoning Talent], the system set a task for him to solve ten cases.
He had already solved eight, and now needed to solve two more to complete the task.
He had to crack two simple cases himself.
"Let\'s go, I\'ll show you a thing or two more, and then you\'ll see how good I am," Qin Yi said.
What the two didn\'t notice was that, after they left, the bald man who had been keeping his head down in the interrogation room suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Think these handcuffs can hold me? How naive."
The bald man looked at his handcuffs. These were specially made by the law enforcement team and possessed very strong binding power. Generally, even cultivators at the early stages of Meridian Opening would find it difficult to break free.
But these people didn\'t know one thing.
He was an Awakener with the [R-level Lock-Free System]!
