Chapter 73

(The whole city has been without power since the early hours of last night, and the internet cafes have no electricity. It's said that the smart meters will be installed over the next two months, and there will be frequent power outages. It's really frustrating to have no power on such a hot day. I quickly wrote a chapter and uploaded it. I can only update once today, sorry!)

Over thirty pounds of different types of liquor, and the taste was quite poor, completely a result of experimental failures.

An average person couldn't drink even a pound, but Yang Jie drank the substandard liquor marked as defective as if it were nectar, taking large gulps.

The numbers on the crystal energy column kept increasing, and even after reaching 0050, Yang Jie did not stop drinking.

From the storage and recycling room, he took out all the substandard liquor from this year's new alcohol experiments that had failed.

Each large bottle contained liquor with a poor taste.

These liquors were so bad that no one would even accept them as gifts, but Yang Jie did not picky. As long as it was liquor, he picked it up and drank it.

As he drank bottle after bottle, the system's energy rapidly increased. When the energy value on the crystal column reached 0083, Yang Jie finally put down the water scoop.

From birth to now, even when drinking with Jimmy, Yang Jie had never been so crazy. In less than an hour, he drank over eighty pounds of liquor with a strength of over fifty degrees. The system's energy, which was initially at three percent, rose to 8.3 percent, a significant breakthrough.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's charming little face turned a deep shade of excitement, looking both sexy and alluring.

"Brother Jie, you're so awesome and fierce! After following you for so long, this is the first time I've felt so satisfied and excited!" If others heard Xiao Wu's words, they would surely have wild thoughts.

Seeing Xiao Wu still trying to tempt him at this moment, Yang Jie had no energy to argue with her.

After drinking dozens of pounds of liquor, although it was quickly absorbed by Xiao Wu, the liquor still entered his mouth. The poor taste made Yang Jie's mouth numb.

He quickly found a bottle of mountain spring water, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp. After the sweetness of the spring water diluted the bitterness and spiciness in his mouth, Yang Jie felt a bit better.

"Beep~!"

A light sound in his mind, and everything in front of him turned black. Before Yang Jie could call out to Xiao Wu, he heard a series of special sounds.

"Detective Assistant System activated, loading skills..."

"Skills loaded, loading professional knowledge database..."

...

The darkness continued, and Yang Jie didn't know how long it lasted. When light gradually appeared before his eyes, Xiao Wu's sexy and alluring body appeared in his line of sight.

"Xiao Wu, is the Detective Assistant System activated?" After seeing Xiao Wu clearly, Yang Jie immediately got to the point.

The energy value on the crystal column had returned to 0033, meaning that the system's energy had decreased by five percent in just that moment, more than the energy lost when separating Xiao Liux.

"Brother Jie, don't you feel that your vision is a bit different?" Xiao Wu, hearing Yang Jie's question, covered her mouth and laughed lightly, her eyes full of charm, making Yang Jie's heart race.

"This little vixen, she's so good at seducing!" Yang Jie thought to himself, but then realized that Xiao Wu could know his thoughts, and his face turned red. Looking at Xiao Wu again, she indeed had a satisfied smile, clearly knowing his thoughts.

Without thinking about Xiao Wu anymore, Yang Jie got up and looked around the technical room, wanting to see what differences the activation of the Detective Assistant System would bring.

The technical room was still the same, but when Yang Jie looked around, he found that his eyes were like a super scanner. His vision swept over the room, and everything was copied into his brain, without missing a single detail.

Just a quick glance, and it felt like everything was deeply etched in his mind.

Closing his eyes to recall, and then opening them to compare, he found that with the Detective Assistant System activated, anything he saw once was deeply remembered, and he wouldn't forget it.

What was even more incredible was that he could quickly discern the habits and preferences of the users of items in the technical room, such as the things on Old Zhao's desk and the instruments used in the laboratory. It was as if he had known Old Zhao and the others for a long time and knew them very well.

"Too incredible, my eyes seem to have turned into a copier, recording everything I see in my brain, even the tiniest details. And I can analyze and judge their personalities and habits based on the long-term traces left in the room." Yang Jie looked at Xiao Wu in surprise, feeling very shocked by the abilities he now possessed.

Xiao Wu seemed to have anticipated Yang Jie's shock and smiled at him, saying, "You're only using a part of the Detective Assistant System's functions. When you're at a crime scene or analyzing intelligence to solve a case, you'll realize how powerful this system is."

Yang Jie nodded excitedly. Although he was no longer a child, he felt like he had just received a new and exciting toy. He eagerly handled the bottles in the technical room and then hurried out, eager to see what surprises the system could bring.

Walking through the factory, Yang Jie, like Sherlock Holmes, carefully observed every blade of grass and tree, as if trying to discover something from them.

"Hmm, someone is stealing liquor in the bottling workshop. Near the workshop, there's a faint smell of Luhe Liquor." As Yang Jie passed the bottling workshop, he smelled the faint alcohol scent and quickly deduced that someone was stealing liquor.

Apart from the technical room, only the bottling workshop had finished liquor.

Yang Xin Hua, a former soldier, managed the factory strictly. Each workshop had its own access card, and people from different workshops could not enter each other's areas. Therefore, although other workshops might also have access to liquor, only the bottling workshop had the genuine Luhe Liquor.

Thinking of this, Yang Jie glanced at the security guard Yang Xi He standing outside the bottling workshop and frowned.

"Brother Xi He, are you craving liquor again! The liquor sent to the bottling workshop is counted, and too much loss will eventually draw the attention of the workshop manager. As a security guard, you should protect the factory's interests. I hope you won't steal liquor anymore."

Yang Jie walked up to Yang Xi He, and his sensitive nose quickly detected a strong alcohol scent on him, a familiar smell of the factory's Luhe Liquor.

Yang Xi He was from Yang Village and was of the same generation as Yang Jie. He was known in the village for his tendency to take small advantages.

Because he was older and a long-time employee of the factory, Yang Xin Hua, after taking over the factory, transferred him to the security department, where he mainly guarded the gate. However, after Wang Gui Xi's murder, Yang Li went to the gatehouse, and Yang Xi He sneaked into the bottling workshop.

Seeing Yang Jie's piercing gaze, Yang Xi He knew his secret was out and his face turned red.

Yang Jie was the first college student from Yang Village and the only child of Yang Xin Hua, with high prestige in the village. With the factory now privately owned by Yang Xin Hua, if Yang Jie wanted to fire him for stealing liquor, no one could argue.

Yang Xi He nodded nervously, not daring to argue, and promised not to steal liquor again before fleeing from the bottling workshop.

In the past, when walking through the factory, the smell of liquor wouldn't have made him think deeply. But now, with the Detective Assistant System, he could detect subtle differences and deduce that Yang Xi He had stolen liquor from the bottling workshop.

Yang Jie, having won his first battle, was full of confidence in the Detective Assistant System. He believed that with its help, he could quickly find the murderer of Wang Gui Xi.

Walking from the bottling workshop to the main road leading out of the factory, he saw the chief of the criminal investigation team, Deng Xian Cheng, leading several detectives into the factory, guided by Yang Li, heading toward the factory office.

Yang Jie knew that they had completed the on-site investigation and were now conducting interviews. Taking advantage of the crime scene being isolated by the police, with no outsiders allowed in, and the time since the incident not being too long, the relevant clues had not been completely destroyed.

There would definitely be traces and clues left by the murderer near the crime scene. With the Detective Assistant System, Yang Jie believed he could find key clues that the police had not noticed or discovered.

Therefore, he did not follow them to the factory office but hurriedly quickened his pace, heading toward the place where Wang Gui Xi was murdered.
