From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 247 - 202 Capture
"I suspect the Spirit Controller is right here in the Academy of Sciences!"
This statement made everyone on edge, for if this assertion was true, there were more secrets to tonight's event.
"How can you be sure that the Spirit Controller is inside the Academy of Sciences? If you have no evidence, do you know the consequences of making such baseless accusations?"
Zhuo Hongjun couldn't fathom what Lu Heng was up to, but he worried that the accusations would eventually be aimed at him, making him even more vigilant.
Captain You ZhanYu furrowed his brows and questioned, "Captain Zhuo is right. Without evidence, such groundless suspicions are of no help to the investigation. I still think that the Iron Blood should handle this case."
Senior Inspector Li Zhaofeng of the Capital Iron Blood Investigation Bureau had been considering this possibility. He concluded that while it could not be ruled out, there was no evidence to support it.
He curiously asked, "Comrade Lu Heng, do you have any basis for your statement, or is it merely a personal conjecture?"
Indeed, this senior inspector from the Iron Blood, Li Zhaofeng, was the one in charge of the investigation tonight.
Gaining his trust would indeed be more beneficial for the investigation.
Lu Heng thought for a moment, then asked, "Inspector Li, can you access all available Skill Crystal Core data?"
Li Zhaofeng nodded, "Yes."
The Iron Blood was responsible for investigating all cases involving Superpower Users and collecting various extraordinary powers data was part of their job.
Thus, they did have Skill Crystal Core data in their database. Any information ever made public would be in the Iron Blood's database.
Lu Heng continued, "Having the Skill Crystal Core data makes things easier. Based on the information, we can analyze what Skill was used to control the victim, Instructor Liu.
"Due to limited time, I won't go into detail about the analysis process now, but Inspector Li, if you are interested, you can review it slowly later.
"After my analysis, I believe the control Skill should be either Level C or Level B. Do you agree, Inspector Li?"
Li Zhaofeng nodded, "It makes sense. Level D is too low, it wouldn't make sense to use such a low Level Skill at the Academy of Sciences.
"Level A Skills are too rare; currently, there are no Level A Spirit Control Skills in the Iron Blood's database that fit the criteria."
In fact, he had already looked up the data on Spirit Control Skills during his investigation, so he could easily join the conversation.
Lu Heng continued, "Then, we can preliminarily determine that the control Skill lies between Level C and B.
"Based on the data I have collected, there are two Skills that match the victim's control characteristics—Level C 'Spirit Control' and Level B 'Commanding Will.'
"I just looked at the list of research personnel present tonight at the Academy of Sciences, and there is a research director whose clearance level is higher than the victim's. Controlling this research director could give access to more technological data.
"Under these circumstances, the Spirit Controller still chose a victim who had not Awakened.
"This indicates that the Spirit Controller's Skill has insufficient Control Power over Power Users; hence, the choice of an ordinary person.
"Based on this, I believe the Spirit Controller's Skill should be Level C 'Spirit Control.'"
Li Zhaofeng, hearing this, finally believed that Lu Heng was not fooling around but was genuinely analyzing the case.
He nodded, "That's possible, the reasoning process can't be 100% certain, but it's indeed highly probable."
Indeed, Lu Heng's deductions involved some steps that were not 100% certain.
For example, the Spirit Controller chose to control an ordinary researcher rather than a research director with a Level 10 in Source Energy.
From this, believing that the Spirit Controller's control Skill has lower Control Power on Power Users.
This deduction might not be 100% correct. If the Spirit Controller chose randomly, then the conclusion would not be 100% accurate.
Of course, analysis and deduction do not need to be 100% accurate, only judicial cases require it.
Deduction is about assuming boldly and verifying carefully.
Therefore, according to Li Zhaofeng's many years of experience in handling cases, there was no problem with the analysis, and the conclusions drawn were reasonable.
The next step was to carefully verify the correctness of these deductions.
Lu Heng continued, "Based on the above deductions, let us assume that the Spirit Controller is using the Level C 'Spirit Control.'
"I don't know if the Iron Blood's database has detailed test data for this Skill.

"From my personal experience, I am sure the effective range of this Skill does not exceed 200 meters. Depending on the Spiritual Attribute level, there could be variations, but not significantly.
"I don't know if the Iron Blood has this data, but if they do, coupled with the lack of any suspicious targets in the vicinity.
"We can then draw a conclusion: the Spirit Controller is right here in the Academy of Sciences."
Li Zhaofeng turned and signaled his subordinate to confirm the Skill data.
A moment later, the assistant came back and whispered something in his ear.
Li Zhaofeng nodded and said, "I agree with Comrade Lu Heng's analysis. Bring in the data of all the guards tonight, including the data of every person present in the Academy of Sciences tonight, even the Junior Officers."
With the senior inspector from the Iron Blood in agreement, Instructor Liu would naturally not object.
Captain You ZhanYu had no choice but to have someone fetch the data.
Subsequently, Lu Heng and Li Zhaofeng each led a team, cross-examining this security data.
The information to be checked was simple: just find all guards who possess Spirit Control Skills.
