The system is very powerful.
Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of Infinite Backpack is already incredibly overpowered.
Everything he touches can be put into his backpack, meaning that if Ling Yi wanted, he could hold the entire planet by simply touching the ground.
Moreover, the system cannot accept living things, not that it cannot accept living things into the backpack, but that living things will die instantly and their souls will be scattered once they enter the backpack.
This means that, if Ling Yi wanted to, the life or death of anyone he touched would be entirely in Ling Yi hands.
That's absolutely incredible!
Of course, Ling Yi wouldn't be that reckless. On one hand, even if he took over the planet he was on, he wouldn't survive. On the other hand, Ling Yi at least had his own bottom line; he wasn't exactly righteous, but he was never corrupt either.
But... putting aside how to solve the case, how exactly can one gain access to it?
If you can't even get in touch with the cases, then there's no way you can solve them.
Are we just going to wander around the streets hoping to get lucky?
Ling Yi frowned as he ate wontons at a breakfast stall.
He's already sixty; there's no chance he'll become an inspector.
Perhaps I could open a private detective agency, build a reputation, and have cases come to me?
Just then, Ling Yi felt a sharp pain in his stomach, the intense pain turning his face deathly pale.
It took a full three minutes before the symptoms finally subsided somewhat.
Looking at the wontons he had only eaten two bites of, Ling Yi couldn't help but smile wryly.
Since the day before yesterday, this excruciating pain has been occurring more and more frequently.
His late-stage stomach cancer symptoms had begun to manifest.
Right now, he urgently needs to solve the case; to be precise, he urgently needs 50 points. With just 50 points, he can buy a Healing Pill from the shop, at which point all his ailments will be eliminated.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi took out his phone.
" Old Liu, I need your help with something..."
Liu Qiang was the first employee Ling Yi recruited at the beginning of his business; to be precise, he was his Siji.
At that time, Ling Yi was underage and therefore unable to obtain a driver's license. To make things easier, he posted a Siji recruitment ad online.
Liu Qiang was the first person to be interviewed. He was a veteran with ten years of taxi experience, and Ling Yi hired him on the spot.
He then followed Ling Yi until he retired six years ago.
He had been Ling Yi's Siji for decades, working hard and conscientiously, always steady and never asking too many questions.
After decades of working together, the two had long since transformed from a superior-subordinate relationship into that of friends and brothers.
If there's anyone in the world who understands Ling Yi best, besides Ling Yi wife, it's his old friend Old Liu.
Ling Yi didn't treat him unfairly either; after Old Liu retired, Ling Yi gave him 1% of the company's shares.
Don't underestimate this 1% stake; it can bring Old Liu at least several million yuan in revenue every year. And with his eldest son, Ling Zhan, operating the projects on " The Wealth Code," the company's future is bound to be limitless.
Ling Yi didn't want Ling Zhan and the others to know about the establishment of the detective agency too early, so the first person he thought of was Old Liu.
Twenty minutes later, Old Liu found Ling Yi.
Although Old Liu is 76 years old and his hair is all white, he still looks very energetic.
Standing together, Ling Yi actually looked older than Old Liu.
" Little Yi, something's not right with you." Old Liu frowned. Ling Yi's face was sallow, not like a normal person's.
"Late-stage stomach cancer, only three months left!" Ling Yi didn't hide anything from Old Liu.
"Now, even drinking water is torture for me."
Old Liu's eyes instantly reddened. He swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he asked, "Do Little Qi and the others know?"
Ling Yi shook his head. "We'll talk about that later. Let's talk about the detective agency first."
"Are you really going to open a detective agency?" Old Liu was very puzzled by this.
At his age, and with this illness, opening a detective agency is practically a joke.
Ling Yi looked at Old Liu seriously, "This is very important to me."
"Okay, I'll go find a place and get the paperwork done right away," Old Liu replied readily.
This is also why Ling Yi admires Old Liu.
"Don't tell the children about this!"
"We have to tell them eventually."
"Now is not the time."
Old Liu sighed. Over the years, he had come to know Ling Yi very well. Once Ling Yi made up his mind, no one else could stop him or persuade him.
Old Liu left, and Ling Yi began to wander aimlessly through the streets.
Thanks to the Ling Group, Baihai City has developed extremely rapidly in recent years.
It can be said that most of the landmark buildings in Baihai City were built by the Ling Group.
Amusement park, Baihai Park, Baihai Zoo, Baihai Business Street, Baihai Cinema...
In the process of building his Ling Yi naturally had to get involved in real estate.
Baihai City is Ling Yi 'Ling Yi hometown and the place where he started his career.
Walking on the familiar streets, Ling Yi felt a lot of emotion and sadness in his heart, as well as a sense of glory.
As Ling Yi passed by the entrance of a restaurant, he glanced inside unintentionally.
The next moment, six people marked with red exclamation marks appeared in front of Ling Yi.
A series of information prompts appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.
"Warning: Zhang Yi, a Level 4 criminal and leader of a robbery gang, has been spotted. He is armed and extremely dangerous."
"Warning: Robbery gang member, Level 2 criminal Bai Dajiang, has been spotted. He is armed with a B14 pistol and is extremely dangerous."
"Warning: Zheng Sifang, a Level 2 criminal and member of a robbery gang, has been spotted. He is armed with a B14 pistol and is extremely dangerous."
"Warning: Robbery gang member, Level 2 criminal Zheng Liujia, spotted. Target:..."
"Warning: Robbery gang member, Level 2 criminal Bai Renhai, spotted. Target:..."
"Warning: Robbery gang member, Level 2 criminal Guan Qin, detected. Target:..."
Ling Yi's pupils contracted. This was... the Eye of Intelligence activated?
But the first thing Ling Yi did wasn't to check anything further; instead, he forced himself to turn his head and quickly crossed the restaurant entrance.
For these highly vigilant robbers, staring at their target is an extremely dangerous act.
With the help of the Eye of Intelligence, Ling Yi was almost certain that these people were the same group of robbers that Ling Feng had mentioned yesterday.
Unexpectedly, they appeared in Baihai City.
The B14 pistol is the weapon used for law enforcement in this world. Clearly, these people may have done more than just rob a few banks.
Although Ling Feng talked a lot yesterday, he didn't say too much about some things. After all, these are confidential matters, subject to confidentiality regulations. What he could say were things that the public already knew.
The criminal who could give the top official of North Leaf Province such a headache must have committed heinous crimes, perhaps even reaching the Heavenly Hearing.
If this matter is not handled properly, it could have a significant impact on Ling Feng's future.
Just then, Old Liu called.
" Little Yi, what name do you plan to give the detective agency?"
Ling Yi turned into an alley and, from a shadowy corner, stared at the entrance of the restaurant as he said, "Let's call it Old Ling Detective Agency."
This name is pretty standard!
"I understand!" Old Liu said and hung up the phone.
Ling Yi put his phone in his pocket, pondering how to deal with these people.
Yes, Ling Yi will personally deal with these people.
It's not that Ling Yi arrogant, but rather that it has its own confidence; the "golden finger" title isn't given lightly.
However, Ling Yi needs to conduct a test to determine whether it will work.
After glancing at the restaurant one last time, Ling Yi turned and left the alley. In a supermarket, he bought a toy gun that could shoot plastic marbles.
Ling Yi wasn't trying to fool the robbers with this plastic toy gun.
They're not stupid, and such a professional robbery team is likely to have impressive backgrounds; how could they not distinguish between the real and the fake?
Ling Yi bought the toy gun so he could shoot himself.
That's right, it's hitting yourself.
After buying the toy gun, Ling Yi went straight into the supermarket's restroom, raised the toy gun, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.
Logically speaking, at such close range, even a toy gun with plastic bullets should cause pain.
Ling Yi felt no pain; to be precise, the plastic bullet disappeared the moment it touched him.
The next moment, Ling Yi flipped his hand, and plastic bullets appeared in his palm.
Seeing the plastic bullets in his hand, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Just as he had guessed, under Ling Yi's will, the Infinite Backpack could instantly collect the bullets.
This outcome wasn't due to Ling Yi's quick reaction, but rather because he mentally assigned a setting to the Infinite Backpack...
Anything touched by the bullet will be automatically collected.
This is equivalent to... making Ling Yi completely invincible.
Ling Yi wasn't worried at all about not being able to find the robbers. If his guess was correct, the robbers' target was the Great Agriculture Bank in downtown Baihai City.
Based on the information revealed by Ling Feng yesterday, the robbers' motives were likely not solely for money, or perhaps they had other purposes besides money.
Each of these robbers' previous actions was carried out with great fanfare and Wuji, appearing less like robbery and more like provocation.
Moreover, the banks that were robbed were all the largest in the area, and those with a high concentration of customers.
The Great Agriculture Bank Great Agriculture Bank Baihai City perfectly met their requirements, so Ling Yi prepared to wait for them there.
What if the estimate is wrong? Just look again. Anyway, since these guys are in Baihai City, they're definitely going to cause trouble.
Once you start something, you can't escape.
Of course, Ling Yi had considered following them directly, but he knew his own situation.
He was old, and with his illness, his physical condition, while not terrible, was still difficult to keep up with those strong robbers.
Even if he could keep up, with his Little White- level tracking skills, wouldn't he be discovered very quickly?
Of course, if discovered, the Infinite Backpack bug can be used to protect oneself, and even to fight back if they dare to make contact.
But what if they realize their strangeness and run away? Can an old man catch a group of strong men?
Therefore, tracking them is impossible; we can only wait for them to come to us.
"This tactic is called 'waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump' or 'catching a turtle in a jar.'"
Suddenly, he felt another sharp pain in his stomach, followed by a mouthful of blood spurting from his mouth.
Ling Yi squatted on the ground, pressing his stomach desperately. After ten minutes, he finally felt some relief.
"Looks like I need to hurry, otherwise my body probably won't last three months."
