Dude, something's really wrong with your abilities.

Chapter 62 Something's Wrong With You

Imagine you're walking down the street, and someone comes up to you and kicks you to the ground without saying a word. Before you can even get angry, the person says, "You're welcome." How would you react?

Anyone in this situation would have reacted with fury and a torrent of abuse. This young woman was no exception; her anger flared instantly, and she opened her mouth to unleash her fury.

But the moment she looked up and saw Chen Shi's face clearly, all the curses that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.

The anger on her face quickly faded, replaced by astonishment. The girl stared intently at Chen Shi's face, her eyes focused and puzzled, as if she had discovered something unbelievable.

Chen Shi felt uncomfortable under her gaze. He believed that doing good deeds was the right thing to do, and it wasn't for her gratitude, but the girl's rude stare made him somewhat annoyed.

He was too lazy to argue, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" the girl called out quickly, her voice slightly hoarse. "I've hurt my leg, could you help me up?"

Chen Shi stopped when he heard the sound. Just as he bent down to reach out, a figure suddenly rushed up from behind and grabbed his shoulder.

The fat man, his mouth greasy, rushed out of the store, his eyes warily fixed on the girl on the ground. He muttered in a low voice, "Is this a staged accident?"

It's no wonder the fat man was suspicious. Early in the morning, a young girl on the street asked someone to help her up. The fat man immediately suspected it was a staged accident or a honey trap.

Chen Shi reluctantly got up and briefly recounted the thrilling scene that had just unfolded.

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, waved to the girl, and said sincerely but cautiously, "Girl, you have to be reasonable. He genuinely saved your life. There are surveillance cameras everywhere on this street, so you can't just blame someone. The car drove away, but if you want to hold it responsible, we can help you call the police."

In other words, the girl was thinking about something else at that moment. If we really investigate, according to the surveillance footage, Chen Shi rushed over and kicked her for no reason, and there's no way to clear her name.

The girl's face remained expressionless; she simply repeated her request, "No need, thank you for saving me. Could you please help me up?"

Seeing this, the two stopped suspecting anything and reached out to help her up. The girl's knee wound was still bleeding slightly, making her look particularly disheveled.

The fat man kindly suggested, "The wound looks quite deep. Should we go to a nearby clinic to get it treated to avoid infection?"

The girl gently shook her head, resolutely refusing.

At this moment, Chen Shi took out a few band-aids from his pocket, which he always carried with him.

Fatty: "................"

The girl didn't take the band-aid; she just kept staring at Chen Shi's face. Chen Shi felt embarrassed by her gaze and waved his hand, saying, "Be careful when crossing the street next time. And don't look at me anymore. I never leave my name when I do good deeds."

With that, Chen Shi pulled the fat man away. The girl watched Chen Shi from behind, a deep question appearing on her previously calm face. Why?

At noon, the five groups returned to the office and waited for the intelligence department to provide feedback on their leads.

Su Xiaohe went to the campsite to verify the information that morning, and as Sun Tiemei had expected: the identity information registered for the public tent that the murderer had rented was all fake, and no such person could be found in the system. The other party had a strong sense of counter-surveillance.

On the other side, to prevent Sun Du from procrastinating and slacking off, Chang Biao spent the entire morning stationed at the entrance of the intelligence department. He didn't make a fuss, didn't urge him, and didn't talk to him. He just stood quietly pacing back and forth in the corridor, his eyes fixed on the intelligence department office.

This silent oppression is more torturous than debt collectors coming to your door, especially when paired with Biaozi's face.

Sun Du was already feeling resentful because of Director Liu's criticism that morning, and now, with Chang Biao staring at him intently, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and his resentment towards Group Five deepened even further. He truly didn't want to have anything to do with Group Five anymore; he just wanted to hand over the clues as soon as possible and put an end to this matter once and for all.

To escape this torment, Sun Du urged all his staff to work overtime, even forbidding them from having lunch, and burying themselves in reviewing surveillance footage and analyzing gait data.

The staff were miserable. They worked at breakneck speed while cursing Sun Du, and managed to pack and organize all the video materials, gait analysis, and trajectory points before the afternoon work started, and sent them to Chang Biao.

Having obtained the complete information, Biaozi happily strode back home.

Everyone immediately gathered around to check the data, and the surveillance footage clearly showed the killer's complete trajectory after he left.

In the video, after leaving the Tianpingshan camping base with the crowd of tourists, the woman in white did not take any private cars or ride-hailing services. She walked to the bus stop, changed buses twice, and traveled all the way to the northern part of the city.

After getting off the bus, she turned straight into an old shantytown. The intricate alleys were crisscrossed, and the surveillance equipment was severely lacking. After turning a few corners, her figure completely disappeared from the screen.

The accompanying gait analysis report was also very detailed: the suspect walked at a steady to moderate pace, walked with a slight inward turn of his toes, habitually walked with his head down, and deliberately concealed his figure and reduced his presence throughout the entire process.

Chen Shi stared at the familiar walking posture on the screen. It looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

"The old shantytown in the north of the city has many blind spots in surveillance, a mixed population, and a high turnover of renters." After reviewing the information, Sun Tiemei quickly finalized the case-handling plan. "We can only use the most basic, outdated methods now."

She immediately contacted the patrol team for coordination, arranging for all officers to be mobilized and using a large-scale manpower approach to conduct area-by-area investigations, focusing on visiting residential houses, rental houses, and small hotels in the area, registering them one by one, and investigating newly arrived unfamiliar tenants.

The shantytown in the north of the city was a bit stuffy in the evening, mainly because the narrow alleys were not well ventilated. The residents in this area were mixed and the environment was complicated.

Chen Shi and Fatty teamed up to take charge of an area, visiting each household one by one and patiently registering information. By this time, the two had checked over a hundred households, and were exhausted, sweating profusely. Chen Shi, who had very poor physical strength, was already panting heavily.

The two were focused on the investigation the whole time and did not notice that a slender figure was following them at a distance.

The girl wore a mask, covering most of her face, her eyes fixed on Chen Shi in front of her, her doubts growing stronger.

She was very confident in her abilities. Anyone she locked onto would unconsciously fall into a daze. But this morning, when she faced Chen Shi at close range, he not only showed no abnormality, but also no awareness whatsoever.

This was a situation she had never encountered before. She couldn't understand why an ordinary member of the Special Abilities Bureau could completely ignore her unique ability.

Although she knew the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities had tracked her to this area, her intense curiosity and vigilance compelled her to try again.

The girl suppressed all her emotions, quietly quickened her pace, intending to close the distance and test the waters again.

But just as she took a step, a large hand suddenly reached out from the dark alleyway beside her, grabbed her arm, and dragged her into the shadows.

The incident happened so suddenly that the girl panicked instantly, her body tensed up abruptly, and she opened her mouth to call for help.

A rough, strong hand immediately covered her mouth, and a low male voice sounded in her ear, carrying an urgent warning: "Don't make a sound!"

As he spoke, the man slowly removed his mask, revealing his true face.

The girl recognized the man's face, her eyes wide with shock, and she exclaimed softly, "Brother Li?"
