How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 90 Graceful and Transcendent Ding Ruoshui

Outside the Detective Agency, the door of a beautiful small car opened.

A beautiful woman got out of the car.

How should I describe this beauty?

It seems most appropriate to describe her using the rosy clouds on the horizon.

She possessed an elegance that seemed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even her car reflected the same characteristics as its owner; an unknown brand, yet it exuded elegance and uniqueness.

For the first time in his life, Lin Xiaosu felt that cars did not necessarily have to be from renowned brands to be high-end. Like this small car, he had never even heard of the brand name. It wasn’t one of the internationally recognized brands, but parked next to a "Flying" car, its elegant design instantly made the well-known luxury car look dull in comparison.

The car was not his focal point.

It was the person who mattered.

The visitor was the same woman he had seen a few times in the library, who, although they barely knew each other, had given him a painting when she left.

When this woman left, her final glance was very peculiar, Ruolan noticed.

He traced back through Reverse Time and saw something unbelievable happen to her— one of her hairs lifted and accurately struck a mosquito, turning it into a mist of blood.

In Miao Ruolan’s dictionary, this was an act of an immortal.

For his own safety, Lin Xiaosu had Chang Ye check her background with Dragon Eye, and he knew this woman was named Ding Ruoshui.

"The person who gave the painting has come!" Miao Ruolan smiled lightly: "I knew there would be a follow-up."

Lin Xiaosu nodded gently...

Ding Ruoshui pushed open the door of the Detective Agency and walked elegantly to Lin Xiaosu: "Do you remember me?"

"I do! I received the painting you gave me!" Lin Xiaosu smiled.

"I have come today with a case I would like to entrust you with," said Ding Ruoshui.

"Please have a seat!" Miao Ruolan came over with a teacup...

"Thank you!" Ding Ruoshui took the teacup, placed it on the coffee table in front of her, and began to discuss the case...

Her name is Ding Ruoshui, from Jiangcheng.

Her father, Ding Lizhong, is a shareholder and the technical director of Changsheng Group.

Sitting behind the computer, Miao Ruolan had just completed a "Thousand Degrees Search," her mind reeling with shock...

Ding Lizhong, one of the three founders of Changsheng Group, my goodness, can the Fengcheng Detective Agency even handle such a huge case?

Jiangcheng is the provincial capital, and there are Detective Agencies there too.

Being highly influential, why would she seek help far from home?

Lin Xiaosu also felt a slight stir in his mind. He knew her background, but he just couldn’t speak out first. However, Ding Ruoshui explained everything openly without any concealment...

Ding Ruoshui continued to speak...

She came to Fengcheng specifically to ask Lin Xiaosu to handle a case for her.

The case was special and related to her father.

Her father, the director of Changsheng Group, aside from this title, was a genuine researcher. His research focus was on Biological Chips, and after many years, he had successfully bred three Alien Species Spiders which he could remotely control to do anything.

However, two months ago, something big happened.

A bizarre murder occurred in Jiangcheng.

A famously successful shopping mall tycoon was killed at the Nanhu Villa, and the death was extremely strange.

The tycoon’s family hired He Jiang, the top detective of Jiangcheng Detective Agency, to investigate the case.

He Jiang quickly focused his attention on the Alien Species Spiders. With the cooperation of the police, he found the spider involved in the crime—precisely one of the spiders her father could control. Underneath the claws of this spider, they found the victim’s human genetic tissue.

The Alien Species Spider was the murderer, the evidence was conclusive.

Her father was a major suspect.

For two reasons, one, the tycoon had a competitive business relationship with Changsheng Group, which provided a motive for murder.

Second, the Alien Species Spider was still a prototype, and only her father could remotely control it.

But her father cried innocence; her, her mother, or her brother had questioned her father many times, and he firmly stated that he did not commit the crime!

With her understanding of her father, he wasn’t that sort of person!

When her father initially researched this controlling technology, he told her that even if he didn’t research it, someone else would, and rather than letting this dangerous tool fall into the wrong hands, he preferred to control it himself. Only by mastering the pinnacle of this technology, he could minimize the risks.

So, her father would never become the type of person he most detested.

Lin Xiaosu had already figured out all the chain of events in his mind: "Was your father detained?"

"No! My dad, after all, is someone influential and well-known. The police didn’t have solid evidence to prove that my dad remotely controlled the Alien Species Spider to commit murder, so there was no detention, just several interrogations. But his research team was disbanded, and he himself could only stay at home. Outrageously, all signals to our home are cut off, turning it into an isolated island in Jiangcheng."

"Was the cutting off of signals done by the police?"

"Unknown!" Ding Ruoshui said: "It could be the police, or it could be Changsheng Group." ƒreewebɳovel.com

Lin Xiaosu and Miao Ruolan exchanged glances, each clearly understanding.

A person suspected of murder, yet also a man of high social status, cannot be directly detained without solid evidence, but there must be some method of control.

Controlling ordinary people is easy, just keep an eye on the person.

But Ding Lizhong was no ordinary person, with his special ability to remotely control Alien Species.

Nobody knew if the mutant spiders he cultivated were limited to just three.

To block his path to murder, the only way was to cut off all signals in his location, making it impossible for him to remotely control anything.

Whether it’s carried out by Changsheng Group or the police, it should be done.

But are the people who are quarantined content with it?

"So, your purpose here, is to ask me to investigate this matter and clear your father’s name?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Yes!" Ding Ruoshui replied.

Lin Xiaosu lifted his teacup, his gaze slowly lifting...

A scene emerged in his mind...

It was inside the Ant Nest on Yuntai Mountain.

When they were eradicating this Ant Nest, the first wave of attacks they encountered was from chip-controlled creatures.

As previously mentioned, controlling creatures with chips is an entirely different track from controlling humans. Controlling humans is easy, you just tug on their ears and tell them: if you disobey, I’ll make the chip explode and kill you.

Controlling creatures isn’t like that; creatures don’t understand human language, and they can’t sense the threat of death, only the direct connection of brainwaves.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Biological Chip technology.

On the victorious return journey, Chang Ye told him that this technology was not yet mature, and among those who had made significant progress was Ding Lizhong, the technical director of Changsheng Group.

She also gave him a suggestion: Why not investigate this case? Qianlong would offer a reward, and what would that reward be?

Ten thousand dollars and a beauty.

The ten thousand dollars was Qianlong’s commission, and the beauty was Ding Ruoshui standing before him because, as Chang Ye had correctly said, getting close to Ding Lizhong by involving his daughter seemed a reasonable option.

He had not yet had the chance to implement this investigation.

The beauty herself came to him, inviting him to come closer...

Ding Ruoshui’s enchanting eyes shifted slightly: "I roughly know the fee structure of the detective agency, Jiangcheng’s First Detective He Jiang charges a starting rate of two hundred thousand. You charge double his rate! I will give you a deposit of one hundred thousand first, and upon successful completion of the case, the balance will be cleared."

Miao Ruolan’s heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Xi, who had just returned, suddenly blushed.

A case worth four hundred thousand!

Lin Xiaosu said, "Upon successful completion... what’s the standard for success?"

"If my dad is innocent, clear the suspicions! If he is guilty, send him to prison! Both are considered success!" Ding Ruoshui said: "I can accept any truth, I don’t like mysteries and unresolved issues."

The truth was all that was necessary; it didn’t necessarily have to clear her dad’s suspicions.

This aligned well with Lin Xiaosu’s original intention in taking the case.

"Accepted!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Ruolan, let’s draw up the agreement!"

"No need for an agreement! Even the receipt is unnecessary!" Ding Ruoshui said: "I’ll give you one hundred thousand first; even if you find nothing, consider this travel expenses for your trip to Jiangcheng. As for the balance, you can trust my integrity!"

She lifted the ring on her finger toward the payment code in front of her, and with a ding sound, one hundred thousand dollars were transferred into the detective agency’s account.

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Your integrity can be discussed separately, but your financial capability is certainly trustworthy! Let’s go..."

Ding Lizhong owns 12.5% of Changsheng Group, with a net worth of billions.

Four hundred thousand dollars, although a fortune for the average person, is merely a trifle for the Ding Family.

This has nothing to do with integrity.

They went out and got into the car that bore no brand marks.

The car started and left Fengcheng.

Zhou Xi’s eyes sparkled: "Sister Lan, who is this? What a grandeur."

"Look!" Miao Ruolan turned the computer screen towards Zhou Xi.

Zhou Xi’s eyes widened: "Oh my God, one of the founders of Changsheng Group, Changsheng Group... Has our detective agency become so famous? High-profile executives from across the country are coming to us."

"It’s not about the fame of the detective agency, but because he is extraordinary! This beauty had already noticed him before, when she met him in the library."

Zhou Xi looked bewildered: "Sister Lan, aren’t you worried?"

"Worried about what?"

"What if this beauty takes your Brother Lin away?"

Miao Ruolan gave her a sidelong glance: "What do you mean by ’your Brother Lin’? "

"Stop pretending, I saw everything yesterday..."

Huh?

Miao Ruolan’s cheeks turned red: "Don’t think nonsense, yesterday... we were practicing."

"I know! Of course, it was practice! It must have been practice!" Zhou Xi chuckled lightly: "Sister Lan, when you martial artists get... excited in the midst of practice, could the bed break?"

Oh my God...

Even practice can get exciting, what kind of practice is that...

The ambiguities continued...

Miao Ruolan wanted to defend herself, she really had the basis to do so, but Zhou Xi, this mischievous girl, hadn’t spelled it out, how could she argue? Wouldn’t arguing make it worse?

Ding Ruoshui’s car had already hit the highway.

The speed reached a hundred and twenty.

However, inside the car, almost no sound could be heard, nor could any jolting be felt. Lin Xiaosu was sitting in the passenger seat, with everything inside the car in clear view.

He felt more and more that this car was extraordinary.

He had even ridden in the international top brand "Lawrence Phantom" before—last time playing a wealthy person, the wedding service company had rented it.

But by his standards, the comfort of this car surpassed the Lawrence Phantom and, of course, all the other cars he had previously ridden.
