I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

He said that knowing "where the Mysterious Pearl is" was not just empty talk.

Although he only used his supernatural ability of "hearing the wind" once.

But he also deeply understands that the greatest strength of this supernatural power lies not in "listening", but in the "processing" of so much information after it has been heard!

He bowed to Gao Heyun with his hands clasped in greeting:

"While I was in prison, I overheard the jailer mention a few words about the 'Xuanzhu Case'."

"The incident began when Shen Jiake, a traitor of the Mo Sect, stole the Xuanzhu in the capital. Under the pursuit of the adults, he fled all the way to Qinglong Mountain in Yong'an County, where he was finally killed by the adults."

He had just mentioned to Gao Heyun that he had been "in a coma for three days on Qinglong Mountain" for this very moment.

Although he couldn't find any memories of those three days.

This did not prevent him from misleading Gao Heyun, giving her the illusion that he might also be there.

Only in this way will what he says next be credible.

Moreover, he had calculated the time.

The three days of lost memories coincide with the time when the thief Shen Jiake entered Qinglong Mountain in the "Xuanzhu Case"!

So he said that he wasn't worried about being exposed.

really.

After he finished saying that.

Gao Heyun's eyes grew even deeper as she slowly raised the scabbard in her hand.

His posture appeared relaxed, but in reality, there was not a single flaw in his body, like a hawk locking onto its prey.

He slowly uttered two words:

"continue."

Cheng Laiyun dared not relax, calmly got up, and cleared his throat.

I instinctively reached into my pocket to take out a cigarette and light it.

But they discovered that he not only had no cigarettes, but he also didn't have a single pocket on him...

After a moment of distraction, he spoke calmly:

"Through these few words."

"I noticed a detail."

"Shen Jiake fled from the capital all the way to Qinglong Mountain in Yong'an County in just three days."

"Furthermore, after escaping to Qinglong Mountain, he killed a minor official who was patrolling the mountain named Zhu Kai..."

This is what I heard yesterday using my keen hearing.

[On November 27th, this humble subject received an important mission in the capital: to relentlessly pursue and capture Shen Jiake, the thief who stole the Xuanzhu.]

On November 30th, the trail was traced to the vicinity of Qinglong Mountain in Yong'an County.

[The minor official Zhu Kai, who was patrolling the mountains, was murdered, but his son Zhu Li survived.]

"I can figure that out too."

Xu Jiayin, standing to the side, changed her expression from anticipation to eye roll, and started cracking sunflower seeds faster.

His expression was one of utter disbelief, as if to say, "Is this what you call details?"

Gao Heyun, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought. She looked at Cheng Laiyun and gestured for him to continue.

Cheng Laiyun chuckled and looked at Xu Jiayin as he explained:

"Seeing details is not difficult; the difficulty lies in deducing clues from those details."

Xu Jiayin didn't reply, but instead crossed her arms and gave him an interested look, waiting for him to continue.

Cheng Laiyun walked slowly and deliberately, his voice carrying a certain magnetism.

"The capital city is a thousand miles away from Yong'an County. It would take an ordinary person at least a month to walk that distance, but Shen Jiake only took three days."

"This alone is enough to prove that Shen Jiake's cultivation level is not low."

At this point, Cheng Laiyun looked up at Gao Heyun, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"Moreover, according to the testimony of the survivor Zhu Li, at that time, arrest warrants for Shen Jiake had been posted on the mountain road. The father and son recognized Shen Jiake and decided that the son Zhu Li would go down the mountain to report the case, while the father Zhu Kai would comfort Shen Jiake."

"But as soon as Zhu Li left, Shen Jiake sensed something was wrong, suddenly attacked and killed Zhu Kai, and fled."

At this point, he changed the subject, looking up intently at Gao Heyun and the other woman:

"A superhuman possessing a valuable treasure, who has finally managed to sneak into the deep mountains and has a chance to escape the pursuit, should not, even if discovered, suddenly kill someone, but rather flee at an extremely fast speed."

"Why kill someone and expose yourself?"

"What's in it for him?"

Xu Jiayin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

I noticed her little gesture.

Cheng Laiyun's lips curled into a smile.

He cleared his throat and slowly extended two fingers:

"So from this, I can deduce two clues."

"Which two?" Xu Jiayin subconsciously stretched her neck, placing the sunflower seeds in her hand on the table.

Cheng Laiyun glanced at Xu Dalei discreetly, then bowed respectfully to Gao Heyun with a serious expression, saying:

"Firstly, Lord Gao must have extraordinary methods to have been able to chase Shen Jiake all the way from the capital to here."

There was a hint of probing in his words.

Gao Heyun tapped the scabbard in her bosom twice, neither confirming nor denying.

Seeing Gao Heyun's subtle actions, Xu Jiayin finally couldn't help but speak up:

"Spirit Tracking Disc".

"This is a unique magical artifact created by my Mo family. Once it locks onto you, you can find it even if you escape to the ends of the earth."

"Anyone who commits murder will be stained with the aura of bloodlust. If they approach the Spirit Tracking Disc, it will automatically issue a warning."

This statement came out.

Cheng Laiyun thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

Exactly as I expected!

He nodded with a faint smile on his face:

"Presumably, the reason why Lord Gao was able to keep up with the pursuit all the way from the capital to Yong'an County was because the Spirit Tracking Compass locked onto the Mysterious Pearl in Shen Jiake's hand."

"But when this Spirit Tracking Disc encounters someone possessing bloodthirsty aura, it will detach from its original target and automatically lock onto the murderer tainted with bloodthirsty aura?"

Although his tone was questioning, it conveyed a sense of certainty.

"That's true." Gao Heyun nodded and spoke calmly.

Having received the answer, Cheng Laiyun immediately looked up and stared directly at Gao Heyun:

"Therefore, my second deduction is that Shen Jiake's sudden attack on the patrolling official at Qinglong Mountain was not accidental, but deliberate! He deliberately exposed himself!"

"The purpose of doing this is singular: to taint myself with the aura of bloodlust, thus temporarily halting the Spirit Tracking Disc's command to 'lock onto the Mystic Pearl'!"

Gao Heyun's eyes narrowed suddenly!

Her fair hand instantly gripped the scabbard, and a strand of hair that wasn't tied up at the side of her neck swayed almost imperceptibly.

Clearly, Cheng Laiyun's deduction was correct!

"Only in this way can he secretly and discreetly move the Xuanzhu elsewhere, right under everyone's noses!"

Cheng Laiyun's speech gradually quickened; though he wore prison clothes, his demeanor was that of a wise man.

"Shen Jiake has committed murder and is stained with blood. My lord, please use the Spirit Chasing Disc to intercept him in the perilous Eagle Sorrow Gorge."

"He threw the Xuanzhu into the ravine in front of everyone, shouting, 'I would rather destroy this than give it to the court,' and then fought to the death and was executed."

At this point, his expression turned serious, but his voice remained steady:

"How could a ruthless villain risk his life to steal the Mystic Pearl?"

"I'm certain that what he threw into the ravine right now wasn't the Mystic Pearl!"

"And he did this for only one purpose: to use his own life to conceal the true location of the Mystic Pearl!"

Now that we've come to this point...

An eerie silence permeated the entire room.

The two women's gazes seemed to be welded to Cheng Laiyun, unblinking for a moment.

In fact, Gao Heyun had already thought of what Cheng Laiyun just said three days ago.

After all, she was a direct participant in the Shen Jiake case, so it's not surprising that she could think of this.

But this kid in prison clothes...

How could he deduce this from just a few words he overheard in prison?

Cheng Laiyun was unaware of Gao Heyun's thoughts. He cleared his throat and broke the silence of the room by bowing to Gao Heyun, saying:

"Lord Gao must have thought of this as well."

"That's why we made two preparations afterward. First, we searched for and captured Shen Jiake at Yingchoujian, where he threw the treasure. Second, we organized a search team to blockade Qinglong Mountain and launch a search operation against him."

"Is that right?"

Gao Heyun shifted her gaze away from Cheng Laiyun's face for the first time.

He stared out the window for a moment, as if quickly checking the case files in his mind.

When I looked at him again, my eyes held less scrutiny and more approval:

"good."

Xu Jiayin's opportunistic opening:

"Sister Gao sealed off Qinglong Mountain in order to find where Shen Jiake hid the Mystic Pearl, but..."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

It is clear.

Can't find it.

Cheng Laiyun, dragging his shackles, reached up and brushed a strand of hair from his forehead to one side, revealing a calm smile on his face:

"The reason we can't find it is because we're approaching it the wrong way."

"Shen Jiake's actions towards Xuanzhu were not one of 'hiding'."

"It's a transfer."

Transfer?

These two words were uttered.

Xu Jiayin's expression froze.

Gao Heyun narrowed her phoenix eyes and stared intently at Cheng Laiyun.

Cheng Laiyun suddenly felt a surge of pressure.

But his gaze remained sharp, no less so than Gao Heyun's.

"Before Shen Jiake entered the mountain, he was locked in by Master Gao's Spirit Tracking Disc, so he had no chance to hide the Mysterious Pearl."

"After Shen Jiake was killed, the evil aura disappeared, and the spirit-tracking disk and the mountain search team did not find any clues."

"Where is that Mystic Pearl? Did it simply vanish into thin air?"

Cheng Laiyun looked at Xu Jiayin and Gao Heyun, who were completely engrossed, and said indifferently:

"Therefore, Shen Jiake was not a lone wolf; the Xuanzhu case was a gang crime!"

"And in such a short time, there is only one person who can perfectly transfer the Mystic Pearl for him!"

"Who?!"

Almost simultaneously, Gao Heyun and Xu Jiayin suddenly stood up.

Unbeknownst to them, Cheng Laiyun's words had already led them forward.

"The deceased was Zhu Li, son of Zhu Kai, a minor official patrolling the mountains!!"

Cheng Laiyun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his voice was filled with certainty:

"And he's the only one who's left Qinglong Mountain in such a short time!!"

……

The room fell silent for a moment.

Gao Heyun's face was serious, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was pondering the mystery revealed by Cheng Laiyun.

Xu Jiayin, however, opened her mouth slightly and frowned as she said:

"Shen Jiake killed Zhu Li's father, Zhu Kai. How could he possibly help Shen Jiake, who avenged his father's death, to move the Xuanzhu?"

This is unreasonable, even somewhat illogical...

"That's the brilliance of Shen Jiake and his accomplices."

Cheng Laiyun's answer had a profound undertone:

"Any perfect crime only appears perfect within the limits of our limited understanding."

"When the viewpoint is high enough, all traces will automatically emerge."

"The most ingenious part of this case is not Qinglong Mountain, nor Yingchoujian, but the subconscious pity we all feel for the pain of losing our fathers."

The room fell into a deathly silence.

After a long while, Gao Heyun's voice finally rang out softly.

His eyes held a complex expression:

"Therefore, Xuanzhu is currently with Zhu Li, who has a blood feud with Shen Jiake for killing his father..."

"Yes! Eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains, however unbelievable, is the truth!"

"Because all of this stems from a single detail." Cheng Laiyun changed the subject, bringing up the old topic again:

"The capital city is a thousand miles away from Yong'an County. It would take an ordinary person at least a month to walk that distance."

"He, Shen Jiake, traversed such a long distance in just three days."

"This proves that he never intended to play hide-and-seek with Master Gao from the beginning, but had a very clear purpose."

"The destination is... Qinglong Mountain!"

"Because his accomplices are on Azure Dragon Mountain! Accomplices who can help him relocate Xuanzhu!"

"So this was not a case of stealing the Mystic Pearl on a whim."

"It was a premeditated and planned transfer of treasure!"
