Chapter 12, final level
Following the terrorist attack, Ocean University of China moved up the relocation date for its Department of Life Sciences and Engineering.
For security reasons, the school has hired a professional security company to ensure that no criminals can sneak into the campus.
The entire department temporarily suspended classes, and most classrooms were empty. Cao Tengfei randomly chose one.
"Sit down, don't be nervous."
After Qi Te took his seat, the young woman with deep red curly hair who had remained silent the whole time next to Cao Tengfei finally spoke.
"Hello, I'm Lin Jun from the counter-terrorism unit."
"You and Ji Chenyu are not only classmates, but also very good friends, right?"
Qi nodded.
Lin Jun then asked, "The data shows that you are not a superhuman."
Zite nodded again.
"On the day of the incident, you were the one who signaled to the drone that you were tracking the signal source."
After receiving another affirmative answer, Lin Jun continued, "Most of your classmates were kidnapped, and as someone without superpowers, how did you manage to avoid the kidnappers?"
Qi Te truthfully replied, "Take the elevator downstairs, then exit through the side door of the empty classroom on the first floor, pass through the three-fold corridor, and circle around the green garden."
Lin Jun frowned slightly: "And then?"
"I climbed through a window into the lab building and encountered a robber in the restroom. It was my squad leader, Cao Yingchong, who saved me. He gave me the gun he had taken from the robber."
Qi Te briefly summarized how he met up with Ji Chenyu and together they took down the two robbers.
"When we escaped through the window, robbers chased after us. Ji Chenyu is a speed-type ability user, and I was afraid of implicating him, so I let him run first."
"Since you're best friends, why would he run away alone? Even if carrying you on his back slows him down, it's still much faster than running by yourself, isn't it?"
Qi Te looked at Lin Jun. This policewoman was obviously not easy to deal with; she was quick-witted and knew how to find flaws.
"We often play CG together. This is a tactic; his escape can act as a decoy. I have a gun, and using the truck as cover, I'll kill whoever I can."
"Moreover, this kind of thing happened suddenly. We are just ordinary college students. We didn't expect so much. We can only try our best."
Cao Tengfei found the kid increasingly interesting and couldn't help but interject, "I didn't realize that Qi Te had such a talent for shooting."
Lin Jun, who was standing nearby, quickly searched on her phone and finally understood that CG referred to a very popular shooting game.
"Did you meet anyone else after that?"
Lin Jun's eyes narrowed slightly as she stared intently at Qi Te, only to see a strange smile on his face.
"The lady serving food at the cafeteria..."
Qi Te briefly recounted how he hid under the car and had a chance encounter with the old lady. Of course, he omitted the part about being chased by Lao Mo.
Cao Tengfei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Your hiding place is truly peculiar!"
Lin Jun didn't understand Cao Tengfei's sense of humor and said expressionlessly, "How did you manage to hide your phone in the truck?"
"Not inside the car, under the car."
"It was because I was hiding under the car that I remembered to put my phone in the slot at the bottom of the rear of the car," Zit explained.
"Why do you do this?"
"During the college's relocation, trucks would come to deliver boxes from time to time. However, boxes that should have been loaded onto trucks that day were still piled up in the labs. I suspect that the thieves may have entered the college via these trucks."
Lin Jun pressed further, "Aren't you afraid you'll guess wrong?"
"Even if I guess wrong, the truck won't leave, and I can get my phone back. If I guess right, there's a possibility of providing the police with a tracking signal."
When Qi Te went to the Investigation Bureau to give his statement, Cao Tengfei personally spoke with him. He had already figured out the details of the matter and shared them with Lin Jun. But the fact that the other party brought up this question again must have its own purpose.
Finally, Lin Jun raised the most important question.
"Ji Chenyu said that on the day of the incident, he overheard the robbers' conversation in the stairwell while delivering food. Is this true?"
Qi Te lowered his head slightly, seemingly unable to meet the other person's eyes. After a few seconds of hesitation, as if making a decision, he shook his head and said, "No."
Lin Jun laughed: "So, the person who discovered the robber was actually you, right?"
After a few more seconds of silence, Qi Te nodded.
"So, how did you find out?"
"I...I've awakened."
Lin Jun and Cao Tengfei exchanged a glance, and the latter asked, "Would you mind revealing what sequence it is?"
In fact, as long as Qi Te goes for testing, the results will be uploaded to the database of the Superpower Management Bureau.
Infrared imaging
Qi Te pointed to his eyes, then looked at Cao Tengfei: "The officer has two pistols on his gun sling, and another one in the holster on his left calf."
He didn't look at Lin Jun; she was a woman, and although he didn't have X-ray vision, it was still somewhat offensive.
However, Lin Jun pointed to her left shoulder.
Since the other party had taken the initiative to request it, Qi Te couldn't very well refuse.
"Is Madam's shoulder bone...some kind of crystal?"
Lin Jun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a "I knew it" smile.
"It seems you really don't understand your own abilities."
Cao Tengfei looked at Lin Jun with a strange expression. Qi Te felt a slight tightness in his heart, but his face showed a blank look.
"It's not infrared, but dynamic imaging of material analysis, which is an extremely rare type of physical sequence perception system."
This female officer had sharp eyes. Although she wasn't as intimidating as Commander Cao, she gave Qi Te a strange feeling that she could see right through him.
Lin Jun stood up: "Thank you for your cooperation."
Qi Te politely shook the other person's outstretched hand: "Of course, I hope we can catch that bandit leader as soon as possible!"
Cao Tengfei's expression turned strange, and Lin Jun couldn't help but frown slightly.
The withdrawal of the arrest warrant from Nanshan means the case of Haida University can only be left unresolved. This matter must not be made public, otherwise it will inevitably cause a media storm and trigger unnecessary panic.
The two nodded solemnly and turned to walk out the door.
Just as Qi Te breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Jun, who had walked to the door, suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, you made a phone call before the academy's signal was cut off."
"Huh?" Zite paused for a moment, then nodded. "Oh, yes."
"Who did you call?"
"A senior student"
"Is there something special?"
"She asked Chenyu to bring me a cup of milk tea, and I just wanted to thank her."
Lin Jun pondered for two seconds, then pulled out a business card, which Qi Te immediately stepped forward to take.
"Go and test your ability level as soon as possible; it's very important for your future development."
After watching the two officers disappear from sight, Zite finally let out a sigh of relief.
"We should have passed the final hurdle by now!"
.....................
After getting into the car, Cao Tengfei started the engine and stepped on the gas: "How's it?"
Lin Jun, sitting in the passenger seat, said expressionlessly, "Every word is true."
The Investigation Bureau's most famous human lie detector, conducted face-to-face in person, how could it possibly make a mistake?
Cao Tengfei nodded in satisfaction: "That's good."
Lin Jun looked doubtful: "However, I always feel that he is hiding something."
Cao Tengfei switched to intelligent driving mode and looked at Lin Jun with a puzzled expression, saying, "The questions you designed have basically reconstructed all his movements and behaviors on the day of the incident. Now that we've confirmed he wasn't lying, is there anything else suspicious?"
"I have reviewed all the statements from the faculty and students of the entire college. Cao Yingchong truthfully reported that he killed two robbers in the experimental building, but did not mention that he had saved Qi Te."
"As for Ji Chenyu, with his speed-type D-level ability, he was indeed able to escape before the robbers discovered he was eavesdropping. His confession seemed reasonable, but unfortunately, he wasn't as calm as Cao, and he gave himself away as soon as he was questioned."
Lin Jun's eyes narrowed slightly as she pondered, "These two are clearly deliberately downplaying Qi Te's role in the whole incident!"
Recalling the obvious jealousy his younger brother displayed when mentioning Qi Te, Cao Tengfei couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.
"Although Yingchong's relationship with that classmate Qi Te is somewhat delicate, given his personality, he wouldn't stoop to steal the limelight."
"That's precisely why it's so strange, isn't it?"
Lin Jun looked at Cao Tengfei: "Cao can't, and Ji Chenyu certainly can't either."
"So, why?"
Cao Tengfei frowned slightly: "It is indeed a bit strange."
"There's something even stranger."
"What?"
Have you ever heard of a superhuman who awakens their abilities after the age of 18?
Cao Tengfei suddenly realized, and then said, "Perhaps it's because he awakened beyond the designated time limit and was afraid of causing trouble, so he deliberately concealed it. As long as his resume is clean and he himself is not suspicious, it's fine."
Lin Jun nodded in agreement and dialed her assistant's number.
"I've sent you the information. Contact the municipal testing department and have this person keep an eye on things. Notify me as soon as the results are available after he goes to get the tests done."
Isn't this blatant poaching?
Cao Tengfei was unhappy; it was clearly him who had taken a liking to that kid first.
"Inspector Lin, if I remember correctly, you're the one I invited to help with the testing."
"If I remember correctly, Inspector Cao claimed to have discovered new clues related to the case."
"Isn't it a clue if Ji Chenyu's testimony is questionable?"
After pondering for two seconds, Lin Jun nodded and said, "Okay."
Looking at this always serious and unsmiling female police inspector, Cao Tengfei couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
"Then let's have a fair competition and see what that kid chooses."
result.
Lin Jun, however, said firmly, "No, you have no chance!"
