The bandit leader gritted his teeth; he was unwilling, yet utterly helpless.
He now only has two choices: either surrender directly and be captured, which might delay his death by a few days, since sentencing also involves procedures.
Either die now.
To die now, or to die a few days later, is a fairly simple choice.
As for morality, they're a bunch of reckless thugs; what morality do they have to speak of?
" Guan Qiang!" The bandit leader removed his hood and uttered a name that was familiar to everyone.
"I see!" Ling Yi suddenly realized.
Guan Qiang, the second-in-command of North Leaf Province, has always been at odds with his son, Ling Feng.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a parasite.
"It seems many people in North Leaf Province are in for trouble," Ling Yi said in a low voice, a cold glint in his eyes.
When it came to his son Ling Feng, Ling Yi felt a surge of murderous intent.
The gang leader very consciously squatted down on the ground, then disassembled his pistol and placed it at his feet.
This clearly indicates a desire to no longer resist.
The other robbers followed suit and squatted down in a row.
"So, this B14 was also provided to you by Guan Qiang?"
"Yes, he also provided us with the internal communication codes for the armored vehicles and the police."
"What were the goods and people you mentioned earlier?"
"The goods are heroin, a thousand kilograms, all high-quality stuff transported from the south, worth hundreds of millions. As for the person, it's our accountant. He has too much information about us. We either need to rescue him, or..."
He didn't say it aloud, but everyone understood what he meant: death.
"Who exactly are you?" the bandit leader asked again.
"Private investigator, Old Ling Detective Agency, is located at..." Ling Yi paused, seemingly unaware of where his detective agency was.
So he took out his phone and called Old Liu.
"Hey, Old Liu, where's my detective agency located?"
The bandit leader gave Ling Yi a resentful look. " Big Shot, can we stop trying to fool us like this? We've already given in, what's the point of this?"
" Old Liu, are you sure this is the top floor of the White Tower? Isn't this place a bit... wasteful? Also, are you sure ordinary people can get up here? The 100,000 yuan membership fee is a total hurdle for ordinary people, okay? Let's find another place."
"Keep a low profile, just find some secluded corner... What's with all this talk about status? Do I need all that fancy stuff? Or is it that my influence in Baihai City has faded?"
After hanging up the phone, Ling Yi looked somewhat annoyed. He glanced at everyone and said, "I am indeed opening a detective agency. If you need any help in the future, you can contact me. The first time is free."
Ling Yi is advertising again.
He wasn't saying this to the people in front of him, but to people in the future.
Because the bank's cameras are always operational, investigators will inevitably review the videos, which could then very likely end up in the hands of certain individuals.
Perhaps this video will be leaked to ordinary people, perhaps not, but in any case, this advertisement will definitely attract some people, and that's enough.
The group exchanged bewildered glances. They were really going to open a detective agency.
At this moment, the bank manager raised his hand and asked, " Old Ling, do you have his contact information?"
Ling Yi nodded and gave out his phone number.
At this moment, Ling Yi checked his watch again. Unbeknownst to him, half an hour had passed, but the inspectors still hadn't arrived.
"This Guan Qiang has a very powerful network; he managed to control the local inspection for so long."
Ling Yi smiled slightly, his tone calm, but people still detected a hint of Taunt in his voice.
Ling Yi glanced at one of the security guards and said, "Go and fetch the hard drive from the surveillance room for me."
The security guard didn't dare say a word and obediently ran out. A few minutes later, he returned with two hard drives and gave them to Ling Yi.
"Sir, this is a backup, a backup of the main hard drive," the security guard explained.
Ling Yi nodded, waved his hand, and the two hard drives disappeared, leaving everyone stunned.
Now that the surveillance system is ineffective, Ling Yi can no longer be bothered with these people.
Ling Yi received a system notification the moment the bandit leader surrendered.
Ling Yi has definitely solved a major case this time.
The system did indeed give Ling Yi a very generous reward.
You were awarded 6 Attribute Points and 90 points.
Ling Yi glanced at his attribute panel...
The Solve Cases and Become Stronger System

Skill: Eye of Intelligence
Backpack:
The system panel is very simple and clear.
To Ling Yi's surprise, his intelligence level reached 11 points.
Ling Yi has had Photographic Memory since childhood. He has always been a top student in school, skipping grades three times in a row. He entered high school at the age of 13 and took the college entrance examination at the age of 14, gaining admission to Imperial City University.
These 11 points of intelligence didn't make Ling Yi a prodigy, but they definitely made him one of the best among ordinary people.
Ling Yi thought for a moment and added 4 points to Strength and 2 points to Constitution.
In this way, Strength became 6 and Constitution became 5, both reaching the normal values.
The moment the Attribute Points were added, Ling Yi's face looked much healthier; his originally sallow complexion became rosy.
But Ling Yi knew that if he didn't address his illness, these attributes would continue to decrease as the condition progressed.
Ling Yi excitedly opened the System Shop and quickly found the Healing Pill he had his eye on before.
Healing Pill: Mortal Pin Third Tier, possesses extremely powerful healing effects, capable of clearing away all negative states of the body's functions, and can cure most common diseases, including cancer. Value: 50 points.
Ling Yi took a deep breath and, with excitement, made the purchase.
The next moment, the Healing Pill appeared in his backpack. Ling Yi flipped his hand, and the Healing Pill appeared in his hand.
This is a white, glutinous rice pill that exudes a rich medicinal aroma.
Upon smelling the medicinal fragrance, everyone in the bank couldn't help but look at Ling Yi.
Many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva; the aroma of the medicine was simply too enticing.
Ling Yi didn't have time to pay attention to anything else at the moment, and without thinking, he stuffed it into his mouth.
Once I swallow Golden Core pill, my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven.
Although it wasn't quite that exaggerated, Ling Yi himself seemed to have a genuine illusion of ascending to immortality at that moment.
This feeling of complete relaxation and regained strength is just so wonderful.
A body that had aged to the point of near collapse suddenly regained its youthful state...
It's indescribable, yet incredibly beautiful.
Everyone else in the bank was dumbfounded.
In that short span of time, Ling Yi's hair turned black, his cloudy eyes became bright, his age spots faded rapidly, and his wrinkles gradually disappeared...
It gave everyone the feeling that it was like a magical transformation.
Although Ling Yi's appearance hasn't changed, he looks so young that no one would doubt he's 30.
Ling Yi stood up with great satisfaction, adjusting to his regained power while looking at his attribute panel.
"Huh? What's going on with this Attribute Points?"
The Solve Cases and Become Stronger System
Host: Ling Yi
Strength: 11
Physical condition: 8
Agility: 7
Intelligence: 11
Attribute Points: 0
Points: 40
System Shop: Click to view
(Note: A score of 5 or above is considered normal for the average person; the maximum score is 10.)
Skill: Eye of Intelligence
Backpack:
This attribute has increased significantly, especially strength, which has already surpassed the maximum value for an ordinary person.
"No, it didn't increase, it should be said that it recovered."
All negative states within myself were eliminated, the cancer disappeared, and my body returned to its optimal state...
The previous values were clearly attributes under a weakened state.
Combined with the points he had previously allocated, this resulted in a significant improvement in all aspects of his attributes.
At this moment, Ling Yi finally noticed that the way the other people in the bank were looking at him seemed a little strange.
He suddenly had a bad feeling, took out his phone, and turned on the camera...
"This..."
"Holy crap, this Changes is too drastic!" Ling Yi roared inwardly.
How do you explain this?
At this moment, a Xiao Qing cautiously asked, " Old Ling... Senior Ling, you're not a cultivator, are you? Was that an elixir just now?"
"..." Ling Yi couldn't explain, so he remained silent.
But Ling Yi's silence was interpreted by the others as tacit agreement.
Given Ling Yi's various special circumstances, this is practically irrefutable evidence, especially among the young people, who are even more excited than Ling Yi at this moment.
Fortunately, the camera has stopped working now, otherwise it would have been a real problem.
Even if he told the people in front of him about this, no one would believe him because there was no evidence. Thinking of this, Ling Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems my mindset wasn't right; I was a bit careless.
At this moment, Ling Yi frowned again. Almost forty minutes had passed, and still no inspectors had appeared.
It seems we can't wait any longer.
The case has been solved; there's no point in Ling Yi staying here any longer.
"Go, open the roller shutter," Ling Yi said to the security guard who had given him the hard drive earlier.
The security guard nodded, his steps unsteady as he approached the bank entrance and pulled up the roller shutter that Ling Yi had closed earlier.
It's a little past two in the afternoon, and the streets are bustling with people, looking no different from usual.
But Ling Yi saw three exclamation marks, and the Eye of Intelligence's notification followed...
