From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Chapter 249 - 203: Deductive Truth

"What do you mean? It's one thing to arrest me, but to take our team leader too, are you crazy? Who do you think you are?" Cui Chengye yelled at Lu Heng with a face full of rage when he was brought into the surveillance room.

The security team leader, You ZhanYu, quickly held him back, trying to soothe him, "Calm down, this is all for the investigation. Once things are explained clearly, we'll naturally be released."

Having calmed his subordinate, he walked up to Lu Heng and asked, "Do you really suspect me? Whether you believe it or not, I have to say that investigating me is a complete waste of time."

Instructor Liu was also puzzled and asked, "Comrade Lu Heng, we really don't have time to waste."

Lu Heng stood up, organized his thoughts, and said, "Then I'll cut to the chase. I do suspect Captain You ZhanYu, and, what's more, I even think the hard drive is on him."

"What!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room showed a shocked expression.

You ZhanYu, especially, widened his eyes in disbelief, retorting, "Have you gone mad? Come on then,

At this point in the reasoning, You ZhanYu's suspicion indeed started to grow.

Cui Chengye frowned with confusion, "Hold on. I was walking with the captain at that time. If he took the hard drive, how could I not know?"

Lu Heng reminded, "You've forgotten something. He has Spirit Control skills; controlling you for a second couldn't be easier."

Cui Chengye immediately retorted, "That's not right; the captain doesn't have Spirit Control skills."

He pointed at the guard's information, continuing to defend his captain, "Didn't you see the guard's information? The captain doesn't have Spirit Control skills. All three Skill Slots are full, didn't you check for yourselves?"

Lu Heng had indeed checked all the guards' information and indeed there didn't seem to be any issues.

Captain You ZhanYu did have three Skill Slots, and none of the three skills were of the Spiritual system.

However, skills could change.

As long as one completed a World Task on the Abyss Battlefield, there was a chance to modify one's skills.

Whether it was to remove a skill, add a Skill Slot, or draw a new Skill to replace an existing one, it could change the original set of skills.

Without further explanation, Lu Heng continued to smile looking towards You ZhanYu, asking, "Do you have one?"

You ZhanYu fell silent.

Continuing, Lu Heng said, "Your denial is useless. Call a higher-level Spirit Interrogator here, and you won't be able to conceal anything."

In the Abyss Era, the emergence of extraordinary abilities provided Superpower Users with more methods to commit crimes, but also gave investigators more means to investigate.

Li Zhaofeng revealed a smiling expression, saying, "No need to call a Spirit Interrogator here, I can do it. Captain You ZhanYu, please answer me, do you have Spirit Control abilities?"

At this juncture,

there was no use in sophistry. You ZhanYu gave a bitter smile, his strength failing as he hung his head and admitted, "It was me."
