When system cheat becomes rampant!

"This kid."

Lu Hong couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Is cultivation really that urgent?

Qin Yi was mocking you to your face, at least throw back a couple of sarcastic remarks!

What a perfect opportunity, and you don't retort?

"Forget it, this kid's personality doesn't seem to be one that strives to win at all costs."

Lu Hong looked over at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi's face was extremely ugly, probably because Xiang Beifei's sudden arrival had stolen his thunder. His complexion was now like the liver of a pig.

Looking at Qin Yi, Lu Hong suddenly realized—

Beifei not mocking Qin Yi was actually the biggest mockery of him!

After all, Qin Yi is an S-rank elite student at Liangzhou University, a future star of hope, just a moment ago hailed by the law enforcement officials as a super detective with godlike case-solving skills, they had lauded him to the skies.

But this favored son of heaven, when faced with this case, spouted a lot of nonsense, and ended up making a fool of himself without getting anything right.

Then Beifei was reluctantly dragged over by Lu Zhiwei.

With a casual glance, he identified two prisoners trying to escape and directly solved the case.

After that, he left without bothering to explain a word.

He didn't even bother to compete with someone like Qin Yi.

That was already the greatest mockery for an S-rank genius like Qin Yi!

Although Lu Hong himself hadn't solved the case either, he hadn't shown off his reasoning skills. With Beifei shining so brightly, he was more than happy; there was no room for envy, let alone feeling mocked.

But it was different for Qin Yi.

"I knew it, Beifei really is hiding his light under a bushel!"

Lu Zhiwei's eyes were gleaming, and she gripped her notebook even tighter.

Reasoning Talent top-notch, I must learn from him!

—

At this moment, Qin Yi was almost grinding his teeth to dust!

This bastard!

Isn't he an N-rank Awakener? How the hell did he deduce that?

It's unacceptable!

It's too much to bear!

The genius image he had so hardly constructed at the law enforcement brigade in the evening was collapsing like a landslide.

Compared with Beifei, what was he, Qin Yi, but an egg?

He came to solve the case with much fanfare, only to end up with a whimper instead of a bang, while someone reluctantly got dragged over, glanced twice, and closed the case.

How could he compare!

What's most despicable is—

Why, when that guy was leaving, his damn silhouette looked so cool!

He often shone as the favored son of heaven among the freshmen at Liangzhou University, constantly radiating brilliance across the campus, going on stage to receive awards on various occasions until his hands were full of trophies, but—why the heck can't he look as cool as that bastard!

Qin Yi was filled with jealousy!

Jealous to a splintering degree!

No! That cool silhouette must be learned and remembered for the next time!

However, at this moment, Xiao Cao came to his senses and pointed at Qin Yi, loudly exclaiming, "Qin Yi, I thought so highly of you, and you turn out to be a co-conspirator with these two men!"

As soon as Ma Feiguang heard this, he immediately snapped back to his senses and shouted, "I get it now. You went to so much trouble to help us with the case tonight just to gain our trust, so we'd regard you as a super detective. Then, after they escaped, you knew we'd definitely look to you to solve the case. Following that, you'd have the opportunity to get those two out!"

"So that's it, you're so crafty! And to think I believed you had a Reasoning Talent, I was really blind!"

"Exactly, I was wondering why you were so eager to help us with the investigation, turns out you're nothing but a jackal!"

...

The law enforcement officers, who had lost their Reasoning Talent, had been unable to connect logic, but now as their Reasoning Talent gradually returned, they cobbled together a tale of a cunning criminal conspiracy, openly repairing roads while covertly channeling through the Wei, a grand drama of a joint prison break.

And Qin Yi was the key mastermind!

"Tie him up!"

Xiao Cao and Ma Feiguang didn't say another word and pinned Qin Yi down.

Qin Yi was still gritting his teeth at Xiang Beifei when he was suddenly pressed to the ground, completely dumbfounded.

"Hold on, this isn't what you think, listen to me explain, I really had no idea!"

Heaven and earth as his witnesses, he only wanted to put on a show in front of Lu Zhiwei and Xiang Beifei; he truly had no clue what was going on!

However, Xiao Cao and Ma Feiguang didn't care about the details and captured him first to sort things out later.

"Uncle Lu! Uncle Lu! Your wise eyes see the truth. You must know I'm not involved! Uncle Lu! You must discern the truth!"

Although Qin Yi was an S-rank, he was a student of the Liberal Arts College and not skilled in combat, incapable of resisting, now desperately calling out to Lu Hong in panic.

Lu Hong knew that this was very likely unrelated to Qin Yi; this fellow simply liked to show off and, inadvertently, had been used by others.

But he kept a stern face, adopting an all-business demeanor, "Whether you're an accomplice or not isn't for you to decide! Lock him up! Interrogate him thoroughly first!"

——

Qin Yi had to prove his innocence, but Lu Hong knew Qin Yi wasn't involved and didn't want to waste time interrogating him. He intended to interrogate Lv He and Wan Qiu first, so he ignored Qin Yi.

As a result, Qin Yi was thrown directly into the detention room by Xiao Cao.

No matter how much he tried to explain, there was nothing he could do; he was going to spend the night here.

At this time, he was still seething with anger.

Today, at the enforcement office, an N-level high school student had slapped his face thoroughly.

He, a prestigious Liangzhou University student, an S-rank talent, had lost all his dignity! Not to mention, this was his first time ever being thrown in jail.

Humiliation, indeed!

Even though he knew he was innocent, he still felt the disgrace! Being a gifted Reasoning Talent and yet being treated as a suspect!

Tomorrow, his family and the university must be notified. Imagine, a prominent new figure among Liangzhou University's freshmen, not having identified the criminal, yet being treated as the suspect.

This was a stain on his life.

But when he checked his system interface, he was surprised to discover a hint.

[You've clarified how the two suspects escaped from prison, successfully solved the tenth case, and thus completed the task flawlessly.]

"Eh? The system task is completed!"

Qin Yi was overjoyed!

He clearly wasn't the one solving the tenth case tonight, so how did the system still consider it completed by him?

After some thought, Qin Yi came to a conclusion.

In the system's instructions, it hadn't specified that he had to solve the case by himself!

Solving a case inherently involved gathering clues from various sources.

There is no detective who solves cases entirely on their own, they must get help from others. Be it witnesses, or evidence provided by law enforcement officers, all these are within the scope of assistance from others.

Even interrogating suspects counts as solving a case with the help of suspects.

For this task, the system only required solving the case, not who did the solving. This means as long as a case is resolved, the task is considered complete.

And just now, Xiang Beifei had swiftly unraveled the case right before the task's deadline!

That's the same as helping him complete the task!

"Who would've thought, who would've thought! A blessing in disguise, wahahaha!"

Qin Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He was completely agitated, his excitement merging with his agitation.

[Host has completed the task, one amulet awarded. Would you like to claim your reward?]

"Xiang Beifei, oh Xiang Beifei! You've earned fame, but I didn't lose out either!"

Qin Yi smugly selected [Yes]

Then—

Qin Yi's face turned grim.

Qin Yi's forehead darkened.

"Damn it! System, you're playing me! If the task failed, just say it failed, why claim I completed it! Damn it, do you find this amusing!"

Qin Yi completely lost it and started cursing out loud!

He had no idea where his reward had gone, nor did he take the time to think it through, assuming it was just a system error and that he had misunderstood the task rules, instantly becoming utterly enraged.
