Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 191: Chapter 167: Irregular Three-Dimensional Seismic Waveform Diagram

"Auntie, were you the one who caught the criminal... Zeng Wenjun?"

At the police station.

After Zhao Yi came to prove that he knew Zeng Wenjun, he sat with Zhao Hongjuan and chatted. He heard an officer say that Zhao Hongjuan had subdued Zeng Wenjun, so he was very curious.

"Not really..."

Zhao Hongjuan denied but seemed a bit uncertain. She even glared fiercely at the corridor that Lin Xudong had just walked past. Finally, she simply said, "Well, I was a little panicked that time. Suddenly there was an extra person in the house, so I went to the kitchen, grabbed a pot, and hit him on the head when he wasn’t paying attention."

Zeng Wenjun was taken away for detention.

Zhao Yi had seen it clearly; the gauze wrapped around his head and his whole body looking like he had just been beaten up couldn’t be explained by just one pot.

He was secretly amazed.

Zhao Hongjuan appeared to be gentle and refined, but she was still very capable. It was hard to say about her combat capabilities, but her moves were indeed quite heavy.

He had always thought that Lin Xiaoqing liked martial arts like free fighting and taekwondo because she had a police officer father, and her strength was even better than most boys.

Now it seemed that was not the case.

Zhao Hongjuan saw the look on Zhao Yi’s face and felt even more enraged. She cursed Lin Xudong for being a blockhead. Even in the police station, he told the truth. Might as well say that he had beaten Zeng Wenjun himself.

That could only be a thought.

Actually, it was Zeng Wenjun who told everything. He already had a psychological shadow about Zhao Hongjuan. During the questioning, he steadfastly stayed away from Zhao Hongjuan, as if she were some kind of flood monster.

The treatment at the police station was not bad.

Zhao Yi came at noon. It would be too late to cycle back, so he had a working meal with Lin Xudong and Zhao Hongjuan. After eating, he prepared to go back to school.

At this point, the time was just right. If he cycled back, he would make it just in time for the afternoon classes.

Lin Xudong stopped him, "Zhao Yi, don’t leave yet, we have a case, can you help take a look?"

"Me?"

"Well..."

Lin Xudong said somewhat embarrassedly, "There are three people whose statements from the interrogation differ, and we can’t determine who is telling the truth and who is telling lies. You’re good at this!"

A young police officer beside them exclaimed, "Captain Lin, is Zhao Yi the one you mentioned, the one who is very proficient in psychology?"

Lin Xudong nodded slightly.

Several officers looked over with interest.

Zhao Yi suddenly became the focus, but he didn’t enjoy any of it. Instead, he checked the time and said with some difficulty, "Uncle Lin, about that... I can help you have a look, but I don’t have much time. I have to go back to class, and this kind of thing, how should I put it? It also takes energy and a lot of thought. Sometimes I do work-study too..."

Lin Xudong immediately understood and looked at him with intrigue, "You want compensation?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Of course not."

How could he talk about money when helping the police solve a case in the service of the people?

Zhao Yi was suddenly saint-like, speaking seriously, "There’s no need for money, it’s just the time. I’m in my senior year of high school, and the College Entrance Examination is coming up. If I miss the afternoon class, my grades will be affected. What if that affects the College Entrance Examination..."

The other officers who didn’t know the situation nodded along, thinking that a student worried about missing class meant they took their studies seriously.

Lin Xudong listened and pursed his lips.

Grades?

Could this guy just go to any school? There was no difference if his exam scores were off by ten points or a hundred points!

Zhao Yi continued, "...Especially in Chinese, which I’ve always been weak in, and there happens to be a Chinese class this afternoon. Here’s the deal: Xiaoqing does well in Chinese, so let her tutor me for an hour after school tonight. Is that okay?"

"Why don’t you ask her?"

Lin Xudong looked puzzled.

Zhao Yi smiled, "Alright, I’ll ask her later. Let’s settle on that then!"

It was only after agreeing that Lin Xudong realized what had just transpired.

Tutoring at night?

One hour?

Just a while ago, his own daughter had gone to Zhao Yi for math tutoring, and it seemed that her math grades had improved. She had simply signed up for a physics cram class after that, and it was 10:30 pm when she got home from the cram class.

10:30 pm...

This was not appropriate!

Lin Xudong regretted agreeing and twisted his left cheek. How could he have agreed without thinking?

What if something happened...

It was too late for Lin Xudong to regret. He took Zhao Yi to the interrogation area where they watched the surveillance, trying to determine who among the three was lying.

Zhao Yi was very serious.

After listening to each person’s statements, he first used the Causality Law to find out who was lying. Then he used the Supervision Law to find the problems in their statements.

Finally, it was the Connection Law.

The specific process of the three people beating the victim to death appeared coherently in his mind.

He did not say everything, only writing down who was lying and pointing out the problems found by the Supervision Law as feedback.

That was already enough.

"This guy with glasses must have a problem. As for the bald one, his narrative logic is unclear and contradictory. Look, the difference between what the guy with glasses and the bald one said is significant. The only similarity is..."

"So the bald guy is trying to clear himself of blame, and the other two..."

"As for the other one, he always says he can’t remember the details, which should be true. Normally when several people beat up one person for more than ten minutes, there would be many details..."

As Zhao Yi analyzed the process, he explained several key issues.

Several officers were standing around him.

These officers were just there to join the excitement, but after hearing Zhao Yi’s detailed analysis, they were all taken aback.
