Chapter 22: People Who Grasp the Truth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Hello, I’m in charge of the case of Chicago Corporation’s heir, Ian and Ica.

“My name is James.”

“My name is Carly.”

The two of them were nudged slightly by the director.

They quickly received the signal and went forward to introduce themselves.

“Then, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to explain the current situation to me.”

Daniel smiled and acted unusually friendly.

James and Carly instantly heaved a sigh of relief. The people from the FBI seemed to be quite easy to get along with.

Recently, both James and Carly had been tormented by this case every day. Now, someone was finally taking over.


The two of them looked at each other and saw a look of relief in each other’s eyes.

“I want to know if there’s anything strange or abnormal in the process of handling the case.”

Daniel asked.

This question puzzled James and Carly.

Indeed, both James and Carly found the case strange and coincidental but they could not pinpoint where.

It just so happened that something happened to the two members of the Ian Family.

Also, coincidentally, pencil fragments were found at the scene. In addition, the man present at both places of the incidents.

“Man? Tell me more about this man!”

Daniel raised his eyebrows. Someone who was noticed like this must not be as simple as he had seemed to be.

It was very likely that the man was the person Daniel was looking for!

“His name is Lott. This man is very strange. I’ve never seen anyone like that.”

Carly recalled with a headache.

“The surveillance cameras show that he was at the scene every time and there’s a sufficient motive, but there’s no evidence.

“All the evidence pointed to coincidence and accident. There was no way to convict him to the cases.”

Carly felt that the more she spoke, the more ridiculous she sounded. She was afraid that the other party would not understand what she said.

“Perhaps you don’t understand what I said, it’s like…”

“It’s like being able to control the life and death of others, right?”

Daniel answered softly.

“Yes! It’s like controlling the other party and there’s no evidence to prove that he did it.”

Carly looked at the other party in surprise.

At this moment, James had a look of shock on his face. The other party knew about this situation.

“Looks like this isn’t the first time I’ve encountered something like this.”

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Daniel smiled.

There were many people in this world who had unique talents.

Some were proficient in games and some were proficient in computers. Some were good at fate.

Daniel ignored them and went on.

If the world was a game, then the world must have its own set of rules.

Some people, by studying these rules, could come up with a set of logic or formulas. Eventually, they used this knowledge to benefit mankind or to commit crimes.

These people, were called “the people who master the truth.”

As if Daniel were saying something too magical, Carly and James’ eyes looked a little lost.

“You don’t need to understand. You just need to know that the man you’re facing is very likely to be like this. He can deduce the trajectory of this world.”

Carly and James’ faces instantly turned pale.

If Lott was so powerful, then what the police department was waiting for!

Seeing the two of them turning pale from fright, Daniel could not help but laugh out loud.

“Teacher, you still like to tease others like you used to.”

Grey, the intern, could not help but grumble in a low voice from the side.

Daniel was a good teacher in every aspect, but he liked to have some wicked fun. For example, teasing these rookies.

“Actually, it’s not as complicated as you think. It’s just some simple calculations that resulted in predictable results.”

Grey explained.

“It’s like you take out your gun and shoot. If you know the wind speed, temperature, humidity, and angle, you can calculate all of them and dodge the bullets.”

???

Calculate how to dodge bullets?

Was Grey serious about giving this example?

James and Carly looked at Grey, who looked like an underage girl as if they were looking at a monster. They felt that this group elites was sprouting nonsense.

The forensic expert beside them was also stunned.

The knowledge that Daniel and Grey had just said was like a fantasy.

If it was not for the director treating him respectfully, the forensic expert would definitely have thought that they were lying.

Some of the old forensic experts were also unconvinced.

Since it sounded so strange, they might as well use formulas to solve cases in the future! Why did they still need these old bones?

“I’m just afraid that some people will pretend to be mysterious and be treated as masters.”

At this moment, some of the old criminal investigation experts could not help but laugh.

They could not understand these mysterious incidents the most.

The most important thing in solving a case was experience and skills. These people were all experts in various fields. Naturally, they were not convinced.

“Captain Daniel is the head of the FBI Special Task Force. Do you think you have the right to question him?”

Grey’s temper had always been bad and she was the type to speak her mind. She also could not stand the provocation of others.

“Alright, then let’s ask Captain Daniel to give us a demonstration!”

“As long as it’s really like what he said, I’ll be completely convinced!”

The old criminal investigation expert, Bob, immediately spoke.

“Yeah, we’re old and can’t keep up with the times. It’s also good to show us old people.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Quite a few people also agreed.

They were not trying to satisfy their curiosity. They were clearly trying to see Daniel make a fool of himself.

Naturally, Grey also knew but she could not win against them, so she could only get angry by herself.

Seeing that his team member had been bullied, Daniel naturally could not just let it go.

“Since my curiosity is so strong, I can’t hide it.”

At this moment, Daniel stepped forward, exuding a confident aura.

“Do you have that surveillance video of the man called Lott?”

Daniel turned his head slightly and asked James and Carly.

“Yes, it’s in the meeting room upstairs.”

Carly recalled that there was a backup of the previous video in the meeting room.

“Very well, let’s do it together.”

After saying that, Daniel even made an inviting gesture to the group of criminal investigation experts.

This made many experts frown. In their hearts, this young man was too impetuous and did not have the slightest bit of composure. Was he really a member of the FBI Special Task Force?

Everyone looked at each other with confusion.

Bob, who had been in the lead, was now thoroughly enraged.

Not only was Daniel questioning their experience, he even spoke rudely and acted frivolously.


There was also the “man of truth.”

Such words could not even fool his three-year-old granddaughter.

Daniel did not know the immensity of heaven and Earth until he was properly taught a lesson.

Bob ignored the gaze the director gave him. With a walking stick in his hand, Bob followed him angrily.

The director was helpless. It all happened too fast. Although he was the director of the Chicago Police Department, he could not afford to offend either side.

An expert in criminal investigation was the treasure of a department.

Daniel was the treasure of the FBI.

If he had to choose, the director had to help an expert in his own department.

If it was not someone from the task force…
