Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 518 - 116. Solved a decade-long cold case in ten hours! (10,000 words for monthly ticket!)_3

Fang Ze was not surprised by Gu Qing's assessment, but he was curious how Gu Qing guessed that Mr. Wang had passed the lie detection.

Perhaps sensing the point of Fang Ze's interest, Gu Qing slowly said, "As for how he circumvented the lie detection, or rather... how he deceived the lie detection."

"I think there are two possibilities."

"One is that he actually has two souls."

Fang Ze nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Qing explained, "Although mind powers can detect lies or uncover information hidden deep within a person's psyche, they only work on the premise that the user themselves is aware of it."

"If a person has two souls, with no shared memories between them, the soul that is unaware of the case details during interrogation will be the one questioned, thus deceiving the mind-category abilities."

While nodding, Fang Ze said, "This explanation is reasonable. However, it cannot be applied to this case."

He continued, "According to what you've just said, and what's recorded in the dossier."

"This Mr. Wang is clearly aware that he has committed a crime, and you are unable to do anything about him, which is why he is so arrogant and brazen."

"If he were unaware of his own crime, he should be feeling confused, ashamed, and furious."

Gu Qing nodded in agreement, saying, "Right. That's what I also think."

"Therefore, I propose a second possibility."

"He..."

"Very likely possesses a very rare anti-psychic ability."

Fang Ze was startled, "Anti-psychic ability?"

Gu Qing replied, "Yes."

He said, "Although this ability is not officially recorded, and I haven't heard of anyone possessing it."

"But... after eliminating all other options, this is the most likely one left."

He explained, "Moreover, this isn't a groundless guess."

He glanced at Bai Zhi sitting opposite him and then said, "The nobility actually possesses this kind of passive ability."

"Over the past two years, I have researched various materials. The reason why the use of mind-category powers on nobility is forbidden is not only because the nobility has many secrets that cannot be easily disclosed, but also because... they are protected by the World's Laws, which make mind-category powers ineffective."

"So, considering the existence of anti-psychic situations in the world, wouldn't it be reasonable for a person to possess an anti-psychic ability?"

After hearing Gu Qing's words, Fang Ze was lost in thought.

And as Fang Ze was deep in thought, the few steadfast supporters of Gu Qing began to feel somewhat helpless and despairing.

The fact that Fang Ze possessed a mind-category Awakening Ability or an Extraordinary Artifact had long ceased to be a secret.

That's why they had planned to use this Mr. Wang, who had the anti-psychic ability, to deal a blow to Fang Ze's momentum and serve Fang Ze a dose of humility.

A failure on the new Director's first assignment and a loss of face would make it very difficult to take control of the Security Bureau or to use the Director's authority to turn the situation around.

This would grant the Commoner Faction much-needed breathing space and opportunities.

Now, with Gu Qing laying everything out in the open, their plan was almost entirely thwarted.

They believed that Fang Ze would not touch the case again unless he was a fool.

Thinking this, although Gu Qing was the leader of the Commoner Faction within the Security Bureau, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of resentment, believing that a great opportunity had been spoiled by Gu Qing.

At this moment, Fang Ze was unaware of their thoughts.

After pondering for a moment, he placed the dossier on the table, pressed his hand on it, and said, "I understand the case. Since you all can't solve it, and you trust me so much, I'll give it a try."

"I'll aim to crack this case within the next few days."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, those in the conference room who had been disappointed, distracted, watching the spectacle, and eating popcorn all looked at Fang Ze in surprise.

Even Bearded Liu, who had been sitting in his spot with his eyes closed, disengaged and silent, as if asleep since the meeting began, couldn't help but open his eyes and cast a sharp glance at Fang Ze.

Bai Zhi was the first to become agitated.

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Fang Ze as she cautioned, "Fang Ze, this case simply can't be solved. You don't need to take on this case just because of their heckling."

Then, even Gu Qing nodded and advised, "Indeed. This case is too special. The powers involved are special, the suspect's identity is special, the method of the crime is special."

"Rushing in to solve the case is not a good idea."

He said, "I've also thought about whether there is a way to interrogate him by circumventing his ability, but I found that there is no way."

"He knows his own ability, is self-assured, and therefore won't reveal anything about the case."

"Because he has anti-psychic ability, mind-category powers are ineffective."

"And if he holds a Law Prohibition decree that forbids his ability, mind-category powers would be equally prohibited."

"It's a deadlock."

Listening to his words, Fang Ze just smiled and said, "Let me try first."

"After all... as Director Chen said, I am the new Director, and with new leadership should come new initiatives. I have to do something new."

With that, he picked up the dossier and said, "Well, if there's nothing else, let's conclude the meeting. I'm going to look over this case again."
