Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Who would have thought that such outstanding individuals would stumble on such a simple test question?

As you can imagine, this question is extremely difficult.

The principal then stood up and spoke.

"And this question was posed by Professor Wang Jiancheng, who is standing on the podium right now in front of you,"

After hearing the principal's words, the students had even greater respect for Professor Wang Jiancheng.

No wonder this question was so difficult; it turns out it was set by Professor Wang Jiancheng.

Professor Wang Jiancheng truly deserves his reputation as one of the most senior professors in the field of criminology.

In terms of both qualifications and academic knowledge, Professor Wang Jiancheng can be said to be second to none in this field.

At this moment, one of Xiang Yuxi's roommates asked her roommate next to her,

"So? Do you have any ideas yet?"

The sisters next to her immediately looked at her and said in surprise,

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I have any ideas?"

They then looked at Xiang Yuxi, who was standing to the side, and asked,

"Yu Xi, do you have an idea?"

Xiang Yuxi looked at the whiteboard on the podium, frowned, and shook her head, saying...

"No, this question is too difficult. Every time I establish a truth, there are conditions that can refute it."

The eldest sister then said,

"Sigh, Yuxi is the best student in our dorm. If she can't do it, then we have no chance at all."

And look, Wu Mingcheng is pondering over there too, isn't he? I reckon he's probably the only one in the entire academy who can deduce the answer.”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuxi turned her gaze to Wu Mingcheng, who was staring intently at the question board on the podium.

She always felt that Wu Mingcheng was the best, and she eagerly anticipated that he would be able to solve the problem.

Many students looked at the information on the whiteboard and used the methods taught by the teacher in class to work out the problems several times.

Some students even wrote down many key points in their notebooks, outlining the entire case.

Chapter 18 The Academic Prodigy Makes His Move

They studied it repeatedly, but still couldn't find a clue.

They couldn't help but feel discouraged, thinking to themselves that the question was far too difficult.

Every year, countless elite talents aspire to join the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security.

It seems that achieving that 5% is not such a simple task, as can be seen from the extremely small probability involved.

Just as Wu Mingcheng mentally reviewed the contents of the problem board and was thinking about how to solve it,

Suddenly, his mind went blank; the system's voice rang in his head.

"Ding! The system has issued a beginner's mission: Test your skills!"

The task is to cooperate with Professor Wang Jiancheng to complete a reasoning task within ten minutes and gain his satisfaction and approval.

Upon successful completion of the mission, the host will receive a beginner-level treasure box; failure will reduce the host's IQ to 80.

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng felt as if the system was joking with him.

If this problem could really be solved so quickly, then the probability of passing wouldn't be as alarming as 5%, right?

But since the system has already given the task requirements, failing to complete them would lower one's IQ.

This was something Wu Mingcheng could not tolerate; his intelligence had always been something he was very proud of.

Without intelligence, how can I become a top student at the China People's Public Security University?

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng forced himself to calm down. After rationally analyzing the situation, he still couldn't find a solution.

How the hell is it possible to solve this problem in ten minutes?

To put it bluntly, ten minutes isn't even enough time to analyze the structure and thought process of an event.

Thinking about all this, Wu Mingcheng felt very worried. He felt like the system was playing a trick on him.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng completely underestimated the system's strength and the reasoning ability it had granted him.

Just as Wu Mingcheng turned his attention back to the question board,

He suddenly felt his mind was incredibly clear, and countless pieces of knowledge were churning and surging within him.

But now, facing the problem at hand, his thoughts seemed to become clearer.

My attention is also more focused than before, and the combination of various clues flows more smoothly in my mind, like flowing water.

Wu Mingcheng also consciously or unconsciously practices some case reasoning questions in his spare time to lay a foundation for the future.

However, each reasoning exercise required a significant amount of time and effort, and sometimes the final result was not entirely satisfactory to Wu Mingcheng.

But now it's completely different; the efficiency is many times higher. He can finish it in the blink of an eye.

Wu Mingcheng thought to himself, "Could this be the effect of a master-level plausible reasoning ability?"

As expected of a cheat system, this inhuman thing called a system is just that awesome.

Key details include: victim, suspect, motive, location and time of the crime.

Wu Mingcheng quickly marked and extracted details from various photographs in his mind.

The existing clues quickly formed a mind map of the case in Wu Mingcheng's mind.

Wu Mingcheng felt he had done enough analysis and roughly reached a conclusion.

So he stepped forward, picked up a ballpoint pen, and began writing on the whiteboard.

My mind was incredibly clear; I couldn't stop thinking, and everything was going so smoothly.

Meanwhile, Professor Wang Jiancheng was encouraging everyone to make active speculations and boldly experiment.

Before long, Wang Jiancheng noticed the sound of the ballpoint pen rubbing against the whiteboard as he wrote.

He turned his head and saw that Wu Mingcheng had begun his reasoning, writing the steps of the reasoning on the whiteboard.

He knew that his student would never put pen to paper unless he was absolutely certain.

He then thought of the person who scored the best on that test from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, who took a full forty minutes to think about it.

He glanced at his watch and realized that only five minutes had passed since then.

Professor Wang Jiancheng looked at Wu Mingcheng and couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

He said,

"Mingcheng, don't rush your writing. Try to make the reasoning framework more detailed and easier to understand."

Please write more comprehensively, without omitting any details, so that everyone can understand it and the classmates can discuss it together.”

Upon hearing Professor Wang Jiancheng's words, the students below snapped out of their reverie and noticed that Wu Mingcheng on the stage had begun his reasoning.

They quickly reminded the students around them.

"Look! Look! The God of War has made his move!"

"It seems the mystery will be solved soon,"

"Alright, what else is there to say? Let's wait for the God of War's answer,"

...................................................

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the podium.

No one noticed that a middle-aged man quietly entered the lecture hall through the back door and sat in the last seat.

The man immediately noticed Wu Mingcheng on the stage and began to watch with great interest.

Everyone's eyes lit up; they craned their necks, their eyes following the movement of the pen in Wu Mingcheng's hand, eager to see how he would reason.

The eldest sister in Xiang Yuxi's dormitory also noticed what was happening on stage and said to Xiang Yuxi beside her,

"Yu Xi, look! Handsome Ming Cheng has already started!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuxi immediately looked up at the figure on the podium, writing furiously.

At that moment, Xiang Yuxi's eyes lit up. Her beautiful eyes darted around, revealing a hint of appreciation, liking, and anticipation.

Chapter 19: The Key to Solving the Problem

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes in the lecture hall were focused on Wu Mingcheng.

Wu Mingcheng, however, seemed completely absorbed in his own world, unaffected, and continued writing furiously on the whiteboard.

Professor Wang Jiancheng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his prized student's calm and composed demeanor.

Then he said,

"If everyone really can't solve it, that's understandable."

This question is indeed quite difficult, but it is also very insightful.

Everyone can take a look at Wu Mingcheng's reasoning steps on stage, and we'll discuss them in a bit.”
