Chapter 55

"The Human Puzzle Case and the Body in the Fridge Case are somehow connected, and the police have already started investigating in this direction. The three Meng brothers are all under suspicion, but compared to Meng Chang'an, the second brother, Meng Changxi, is more likely to be the culprit."

Lixue flipped through the information on her phone, pulling up some of the data the police had gathered.

Looking at the detailed information Lixue displayed, Han Fei realized he had completely underestimated the police's capabilities. With the continuous development of technology, the entire society has been woven into an extremely complex network.

Anyone who uses modern technology leaves traces on the internet that can be traced.

These traces are collected and analyzed by the smart brain to form unique personality models.

What Lixue was showing Han Fei were the personality models of Meng Changxi and Meng Chang'an. According to the system's evaluation, Meng Chang'an was generally a good person, but Meng Changxi had severe antisocial tendencies.

"Why is that?" Han Fei was a bit puzzled. The system's judgment was different from the information Meng Shi initially provided.

"The system's judgment isn't always 100% accurate; it just provides a reference. Actually, before the search of the Xinhu Ecological Forest, another police team had already been secretly monitoring the Meng brothers." The Xinhu police were extremely capable. Once they caught a clue, several departments would operate like a precise machine.

"Most of the information about the eldest brother, Meng Changshou, and the youngest brother, Meng Chang'an, can be found, but the second brother, Meng Changxi, went missing shortly after the Human Puzzle Case. Since then, he hasn't used his identity information, which is extremely abnormal. It's as if he's trying to avoid something." Lixue looked at Meng Changxi's personality model: "This person has always been introverted. Because of the birthmark on his face, he was very insecure and often bullied. After growing up, he was frequently complained about by clients at work. Apart from his wife and brothers, no one around him thought he was normal."

"But just based on this, it doesn't mean he has antisocial tendencies!" Han Fei had communicated with Meng Shi. As Meng Changxi's mother, Meng Shi was the most authoritative person to speak about him.

"When Meng Changxi went missing years ago, the police had already investigated him. His wife reported him missing and said that before he disappeared, Meng Changxi was very emotionally unstable, always feeling that someone was going to kill him. The police found a large number of notes about the Body in the Fridge Case and specimens of insects and small animals under his bed. It seemed he was always hiding his true self."

"Have you considered another possibility? Could someone be trying to frame Meng Changxi with those things in his house?" Han Fei proposed a different view: "Meng Changxi's disappearance might not be to avoid police investigation. If he wasn't lying, it's possible that someone really wanted to kill him! That person might be the real culprit!"

The person who knew Meng Changxi best was not his newly married wife or his blood-related brothers, but the already deceased Meng Shi.

From Meng Shi, Han Fei learned the most important information: although Meng Changxi had various personality flaws, he was much gentler compared to Meng Chang'an.

On the contrary, Meng Chang'an had a twisted mind. Whenever he was scolded by Meng Shi as a child, he would vent by torturing insects and earthworms.

However, all of this was covered up after Meng Shi's death. Meng Chang'an became a good person, while Meng Changxi was labeled as abnormal.

"The system's judgment isn't always accurate. Perhaps someone is deliberately creating a false personality to deceive the citizen information system." Han Fei wasn't very familiar with technology, but he felt that compared to cold machines, human nature was more complex and dangerous: "For example, Meng Chang'an. If he has been deliberately leaving false information on the internet for the past ten years and living a double life, could he have deceived the citizen information system?"

"You seem to be particularly concerned about Meng Chang'an?" Lixue stared at Han Fei for a while before answering his question: "Theoretically, there is a possibility, so the personality models provided by the citizen information system are mostly for reference."

"Yes, you should definitely pay more attention to Meng Chang'an when you get back. There's something seriously wrong with him." Han Fei's tone was very firm. Although Lixue didn't know where Han Fei's confidence came from, she decided to trust him because everything the comedian had said before had come true.

For the police, closely monitoring someone isn't just about checking information; it involves comprehensive surveillance and detailed investigations, even tracking what someone does and how long it takes. Of course, this requires a lot of manpower and resources.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the teacher." Lixue got up to leave, but Han Fei stopped her: "Do you have something else?"

"After hearing so much from you, I'm a bit worried now. The psychopathic killer might find me, so I want to enhance my self-defense capabilities as much as possible." Han Fei tactfully expressed his thoughts: "Can you teach me some truly useful combat techniques?"

Han Fei wanted to learn these not only for self-defense in real life but also to have some self-protection skills in the game.

"Do you want the police to teach you how to fight?" Lixue looked at Han Fei with surprise: "This is the first time I've heard such a strange request."

"My colleagues say you're very good at fighting. Please."

"Alright." Lixue glanced at the time on her phone and then took Han Fei to the rooftop of the apartment building: "I'll teach you because your current situation is indeed very dangerous, and this doesn't violate any rules, right?"

Lixue said this more to convince herself.

"Of course, you're protecting the safety of citizens."

"Then let's not waste time. Before learning basic combat, I'll first explain the seven major joints of the human body and all the vital points..."

Lixue explained it briefly, and Han Fei remembered everything. His memory was astonishing.

"Most people, when encountering a criminal, will focus more on defensive actions than offensive ones. This is natural, but it will affect your movements. The first thing you need to overcome is your own psychology and be brave enough to attack."

"Don't worry, with my current mental strength, I probably won't be afraid of any criminal I see."

"Not being afraid is the foundation, but the next step is to remain rational. Make the most reasonable judgment based on the environment..."

Lixue taught Han Fei some practical combat and grappling techniques on the rooftop. These techniques, unlike those flashy moves, were developed from real-world experience. They might look ordinary, but they were very effective.

After just half an hour, Lixue was amazed by Han Fei's learning ability and physical fitness: "Have you ever been an action actor? I just taught you the basics, and I feel that even a regular police officer might be caught off guard by you."

"No, I haven't?" Han Fei looked at his hands and also noticed that his body's flexibility and reaction speed had greatly improved: "I just do actor's physical training every day."

"Of course, you're protecting the safety of citizens."
