"Yes, he is our bureau's scientific advisor."

Wu Guodong could only react to each move as it came and deal with the situation, mainly because he really didn't expect these people to arrive so quickly!

This has attracted attention far too quickly.

But then I thought about it again...

That doesn't seem wrong. What era are we living in? It's the 21st century, and especially with the rapid development of mobile internet, the speed of information transmission is terrifyingly fast!

"He kept saying he believed in science, then turned around and jumped off a cliff and flew away..."

The speed at which this news spreads is like a super virus!

In addition, there were all sorts of revealing videos of that kid before...

Is it possible to prevent those in higher positions from quickly taking notice and reacting?

"Very good."

Liu Gang smiled and said, "Let's talk."

"OK!"

Wu Guodong had no idea which department these people came from, but it certainly wasn't the "Resident Happiness Living Department" they were talking about.

Do these people seem like they're in charge of managing a happy life?

A moment later, in the conference room, Liu Gang rested his chin on his hands, fingers interlaced. "First of all, what is the reason for inviting Lin Fan to be your police station's scientific advisor?"

"You and I both know that he himself is the biggest unscientific person, at least in terms of the current level of science."

"You don't need to say that he was recruited by you because of his superb hacking skills. I don't believe it."

"..."

Wu Guodong's expression remained unchanged as he countered, "Don't you want to learn about his life and some related information first?"

"These things..."

Liu Gang chuckled softly, "We know better than you do, you should understand that, right?"

"Has an investigation been conducted?"

Wu Guodong wasn't too surprised; in fact, he was testing the waters. "Alright, I'll just say it directly."

"The reason we asked him to be our scientific advisor is because he can tell fortunes."

Wu Guodong stopped trying to hide it. Clearly, the other party had come prepared and had investigated almost everything that should and shouldn't have been investigated. Under these circumstances, why would he still try to hide it?

That would be asking for trouble, and might even cause Lin Fan some problems.

"Can you tell fortunes?"

Liu Gang frowned, but quickly relaxed. "For example?"

Then, Wu Guodong recounted in detail all the cases that Lin Fan had solved by 'fortune telling', and the specific details of each case.

This conversation lasted for more than two hours...

His mouth was dry from talking, so Wu Guodong drank several large glasses of water before he could barely finish speaking...

Are you telling me a story?

"No, I'm telling the truth!"

"..."

Liu Gang began to question the meaning of life.

Who exactly is Lin Fan? Nobody knows! But one thing is certain: he's definitely not a 'normal human being'!

So here's the question.

What methods does this 'abnormal human' possess?

Based on the information we had previously gathered, it can fly!

Immense strength!

The speed is frighteningly fast.

In addition, there are ' Divine Medicine ' that can make people rejuvenate and become stronger!

Now, there's another one: they can predict the future and know the Karma just by looking at the skeletons or even the grave.

This is outrageous!

It's truly unbelievable.

Of course, Liu Gang is only skeptical about the last point, since he has only heard about it and has never seen it with his own eyes!

Therefore, what he needs to do now is...

"You said Zhou Xiaoran has recovered, right?"

"Right!"

"Take me to her house."

Liu Gang spoke softly, his voice not loud, but it carried an air of undeniable authority.

Wu Guodong nodded in agreement. "Okay!"

"Also... I prepared a report, which I was actually going to submit, but now that you're here, should I give it to you or to my superiors?"

What do you think?

As Liu Gang spoke, he reached out his hand...

Wu Guodong: "..."

"I think it would be more appropriate to give to both sides."

A few minutes later, Liu Gang finished reading the report and looked at Wu Guodong with some curiosity, "You've been around for a long time, and this report isn't very good."

Are you instructing your superiors on how to do things?

"I wouldn't dare. It's just my analysis. Lin Fan certainly doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do bad things and harm society and the country."

"Otherwise, given his abilities, you understand."

"This is just your guess, it can't be taken seriously. The specifics will depend on what the higher-ups say. We're just errand runners."

"Clear."

Wu Guodong calmly indicated that he knew.

But so what?

Even if it's just running errands, I still have to say a few words, not for any other reason than that we're friends!

"Alright."

Liu Gang put away the report, "I will forward this report verbatim. As for now... go and see Zhou Xiaoran's family!"

Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.

You can only confirm it by seeing it with your own eyes!

Wu Guodong didn't say much, but drove a police car and took Liu Gang there.

Meanwhile, Liu Gang's own men followed behind in a line of domestically produced cars.

Upon arriving at the location, Wu Guodong was about to lead his men inside when someone handed Liu Gang a cell phone...

"Captain, here's the information on Zhou Xiaoran's family."

"..."

Wu Guodong was a little curious, so he went over to investigate.

Liu Gang didn't stop him from looking at the information, and then... the two of them saw Zhou Xiaoran's biography!

The book is rich in pictures and text, and many details are even clearer than those recorded in the police station's case files. It even includes photos and descriptions of Zhou Xiaoran at different stages of her life...

Father Zhou Mother Zhou naturally more complete, since they are normal people who have needed to work and travel over the years, so they have more information.

This shocked Wu Guodong even more, and also aroused his stronger curiosity about the identities of Liu Gang and his group.

To be able to obtain such detailed, even abnormally detailed, information in such a short time...

How high must that level of access be?!

And at the end of the document, a photo of a G-Wagon appeared...

"This is!"

Wu Guodong's pupils contracted.

Lin Fan's car?!

That 'arrogant' license plate was far too easy to recognize.

Judging from the time shown in the photo below, it must have been today? They came about three hours ago and then left?

"..."

Liu Gang stuffed his phone into his pocket and looked at Wu Guodong: "How is it?"

"... That's quite detailed. Brother, how about we become friends? Maybe I can ask you to help investigate any cases in the future?"

"..."

Liu Gang was taken aback. "Hey? You're pretty good at securing resources!"

"We're used to it. The conditions are tough for us at the grassroots level. If we had the authority and means you have, it would be much more convenient."

"Dream on!"

Liu Gang scoffed, "Let's go take a look."

Just one glance?

"Just one glance!"

Then...

They then saw Father Zhou. and Mother Zhou preparing to leave.

At that glance, neither of them dared to be sure, and they even doubted that they had seen the wrong person!

"Who are they???"

"Father Zhou and Mother Zhou!?"

"It doesn't seem like it. There are photos of them from a few days ago in the files, although they were taken from a distance by surveillance cameras, but this..."

"..."

Liu Gang was stunned, and Wu Guodong was dumbfounded.

After all, Liu Gang had only seen the two in photos, but he had met them in person!

But here's the question: are these two really Zhou Xiaoran's parents?

The difference is huge!

His full head of white hair turned brownish-yellow. Although it didn't completely turn back to black, it was a world of difference from before!

Okay, hair can be dyed, that makes sense.

However, their spirit cannot be faked, as can their skin condition and the sparkle in their eyes.

This doesn't seem like someone around seventy years old with cancer, especially in its late stages!

This person is clearly in their fifties and in good health!

After a brief moment of surprise...

Liu Gang realized. "Just like the Old Celestial Master?"

"However, the changes are not as significant as those of the Old Celestial Master."

"..."

Wu Guodong also seemed to be deep in thought.

Lin Fan had just visited at noon, and by the afternoon, the Two Elders had undergone such a dramatic change... Although astonishing, it wasn't entirely inexplicable when connected to Lin Fan.

"Want to keep watching?"

Wu Guodong whispered.

"Seeing is believing."

Liu Gang still insisted on seeing is believing. "I can only make a decision after seeing Zhou Xiaoran..."

In Liu Gang's view, if Zhou Xiaoran has recovered and is no longer demented, then Wu Guodong's claim that Lin Fan can tell fortunes is most likely true.

After all, it's impossible that Zhou Xiaoran had been pretending to be crazy for over twenty years just to cooperate with Lin Fan's "showing off," right?

Keep in mind that Lin Fan wasn't even born when the crime happened!

Therefore, as long as it is confirmed that Zhou Xiaoran is no longer suffering from dementia, it can be confirmed that Wu Guodong was not lying and that Lin Fan really can 'tell fortunes'.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't give up at this moment.

Immediately, Liu Gang stepped forward and stopped Father Zhou Mother Zhou: "Hello, I'm from the Resident Happiness Living Department. I'm here to conduct an investigation."

"Are you happy?"

Father Zhou frowned slightly. "My surname is Zhou."

"..."

Liu Gang's lips twitched. "Well, we recently had an event, and we learned that you the Two Elders have a daughter, but she's not doing very well, so we wanted to visit her, offer our condolences, and bring you some gifts."

"What's wrong with your condition?!"

"Our daughter is doing very well!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"This child, so young, has no manners at all."

The Two Elders immediately became alert and were quite dissatisfied, pointing at each other.

To them, Zhou Xiaoran had been suffering from dementia for so many years, and now that she had finally recovered, a stranger came along and said that she was not in good condition.

What's wrong?!

Isn't this cursing our daughter?!

Therefore, they were naturally not very happy.

Liu Gang was completely dumbfounded. "No, I misspoke. We just wanted to see her and bring her some condolences from the Party and the people."

"Unnecessary!"

"Anything else? If not, we have things to do!"

As a result, the Two Elders were completely unmoved by his words, leaving Liu Gang at a loss.

Fortunately, Wu Guodong came over at that moment, patted Liu Gang on the shoulder, and said, "Your approach won't work. Let me handle it..."

Previously, Liu Gang used his 'authority' and methods to completely outmaneuver Wu Guodong!

Now, Wu Guodong naturally wants to show off his skills.

Husbands and wives, it's not that we deliberately wrote these strange names, such as "Resident Happiness Living Department" and "Seventh Elder," but we're just afraid of being censored and have to avoid them in advance.

But thinking about it, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Managing the residents' well-being is the top priority!
