Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Lock-Free Isn't Possible
After school that afternoon, he ran off to the Law Enforcement Team as usual.
The training room of the Law Enforcement Team was quite special, equipped with various simulated training devices that could help one concentrate and greatly increase training efficiency.
He also needed to consult Lu Hong about some details. Creating sparks and producing flames were not the same concept.
Lu Hong was not in the office, and without his pass, Xiang Beifei was unable to access the training room, which was exclusively for the guardians. Xiang Beifei, being an outsider, could not enter or exit at will.
He was waiting for Lu Hong to return.
But he didn't have to wait long before Lu Zhiwei leisurely came over.
"How's your arm?" Lu Zhiwei asked.
"Not bad, with Uncle Lu's help, it's recovering well," Xiang Beifei said.
Lu Zhiwei sat in her father's office chair, propped her chin up with her hand and looked at Xiang Beifei, asking, "My dad praised your deductive abilities again today, told me to learn more from you. Are your deduction skills really that good?"
"Just lucky," Xiang Beifei said.
"Nobody's that lucky," Lu Zhiwei said. "Don't be so modest. Let me test you. What did that bald man do to get caught?"
Lu Zhiwei pointed to a bald man sitting outside on a bench waiting for interrogation.
She knew about this bald man since she had just gotten the information when she arrived and saw a law enforcement officer bringing him in.
The law enforcement officer had not yet documented it, so Xiang Beifei definitely didn't know these details.
It was a good opportunity to test him.
"I don't know," Xiang Beifei said.
"You didn't even look!"
Lu Zhiwei snorted and quickly smirked, "I know what you're waiting for my dad to do, you want to go to the training room but don't have a pass, right? My dad just went out on a call, no telling when he'll be back. He called me, told me to take you in. Here's the deal, if you get the deduction right, I'll take you to the training room. How about that?"
"That's boring."
"Right, I am just bored, looking for something to do."
Lu Zhiwei held a door card, tapping on the desk, looking smugly at Xiang Beifei.
With leverage in her hand, she felt more confident.
Xiang Beifei turned his head and looked at the bald man.
The bald man seemed very honest in appearance. He was just slightly over forty years old. Xiang Beifei noted that his little finger nail was sharp and long.
Xiang Beifei glanced at the bald man's system interface:
[Host: Lv He]
[R grade, Lock-Free System]
[Realm: Mid-Qi-Controlling]
In the system's latest task list, a line of completed tasks was displayed:
[You have unlocked Zhu Lai's phone facial recognition lock, lock value +10]
[You have unlocked Zhao Ming's phone password lock, lock value +10]
[You have unlocked Liu Jia's bank password lock, lock value +10]
[You have unlocked Mr. Liu's front door lock, lock value +1]
[You have unlocked Miss Wang's bathroom lock, lock value +1]
...
Xiang Beifei grew more amazed as he read.
This guy's abilities were remarkable!
His system could even crack facial payment security?
Being caught here with a Lock-Free System, he certainly used his system's capabilities for illegal activities.
This man's tasks mostly involved unlocking people's doors, he likely lived as a locksmith normally.
Besides the door lock, he had also unlocked at least a hundred cellphones, and Xiang Beifei even saw that he had managed to open the company's Class B safe as well.
"Do you want to go over and interrogate him a bit? Can you tell anything just by looking like this?"
Seeing Xiang Beifei just staring at the man from a distance, Lu Zhiwei suggested.
"True deduction can be made from analyzing a person's dressing habits to infer their capabilities."
Xiang Beifei replied casually, "As for this person, I was wondering if he was recently involved in some illegal profit-making related to cellphones? Like cracking people's passwords and then transferring money, committing fraud and stuff?"
Lu Zhiwei's eyes widened.
"My gosh! How did you figure that out?"
She looked at Lv He, then back at Xiang Beifei.
She hadn't dropped any hints just now and Xiang Beifei hadn't even approached to ask anything, just sized the man up for a minute, and he figured it out!
Lu Zhiwei couldn't be more astonished!
"Luck," Xiang Beifei turned his head back and said.
"Don't think I can be fooled that easily!"
Lu Zhiwei suddenly stood up and rolled her chair towards Xiang Beifei with a rumble, stopping deftly in front of him.
"If it wasn't for that bald guy being too dumb to know that transfers are done under real names, we wouldn't have caught him. Tell me, how did you confirm it just by one look?"
"Give me the door card," Xiang Beifei said.
"Wait, considering I was the messenger last night, teach me how to discern these things."
Lu Zhiwei's face was full of eagerness.
The 11% deduction accuracy rate had troubled her for a year.
"This requires intuition," Xiang Beifei casually remarked.
"I have great intuition!"
Lu Zhiwei pointed at her forehead.
Xiang Beifei looked at Lu Zhiwei expressionlessly.
She chuckled awkwardly, then said, "My dad says, deductive skills need to be learned from details, but I tend to overlook them easily. Just tell me how to observe the details. In exchange, I'll stand up for you if anyone bullies you in the future?"
Lu Zhiwei rubbed her fists together, which made crunching noises.
"Alright then!"
Xiang Beifei considered for a moment, then made something up: "See his pinky nail? That's a sign of the legendary Lu Ban Axe Gate, adept with various mechanisms. That nail connects to the system, ordinary locks open with just a touch."
Lu Zhiwei immediately pulled out a notebook, and began jotting down notes.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Beifei asked in confusion.
"Taking notes!" Lu Zhiwei said earnestly, "I need to record all knowledge related to deduction in my life to improve my reasoning skills!"
"Oh."
Pretty diligent.
But why so diligent when the deductive abilities are still so poor?
"What else? What else? Tell me, tell me!" Lu Zhiwei urged.
"You see his fingers are incredibly slender, each one excessively long. Only someone who regularly performs precise operations would have such hands. I think his fingerprints must also not be fixed, but capable of freely adjusting to mimic others' fingerprints.
Also, his ears are unusually large, larger than ordinary people, like a hearing aid and sometimes they even move. This type of ear shape helps to block out external sounds, focusing on listening to the sounds of mechanisms within safes.
If you look closer, you would notice that his facial features and skin are not fixed but move slightly within a small range. He adjusts his facial contours and irises based on the principles of facial recognition and iris recognition..."
Xiang Beifei rambled on.
Lu Zhiwei earnestly wrote down every word he said.
One dared to bluff.
The other dared to believe.
