Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 110 Lots of doubts
Xia Qiyuan looked at the car's onboard computer and asked, "Why not?"

“I’ve seen the case files transferred by the criminal investigation team. In that campus murder case, Ai Liang was the first person to discover the body.”

"And Wang Qiang, the victim in the park murder case, also met with him before his death."

"Both cases were committed by Masked Xu Zhihai for revenge, right?"

Gao Bin recalled the situation in his mind, then nodded and said, "That's right."

"Why is Ai Liang involved in both cases when he clearly has no connection to them?"

While asking Gao Bin questions, Xia Qiyuan pulled up a mental wavelength from the mask and compared it with Ai Liang's.

"The first case was when the victim confessed to him, which is why he wanted to find the murderer. His encounter with Wang Qiang was just an accident, and the two had no connection whatsoever."

Gao Bin answered the questions meticulously, following the records in the case file.

"Wang Xun is the one in charge of recording the case files, isn't he?"

Xia Qiyuan looked somewhat helpless.

He knew very well that Wang Xun would focus on describing the important figures related to the case in his records, while those who were irrelevant would be mentioned only briefly.

There is nothing wrong with recording in this way, but Xia Qiyuan is very harsh on the case file records. In the past, he often scolded Wang Xun severely for not recording in enough detail.

It seems that Wang Xun has become lax again after I left. I'll have to get Shi Feng to give him a good workout from now on.

Xia Qiyuan thought to himself.

However, for now, he is still focusing the conversation on Ai Liang.

"In the first murder case, after Gao Jiajia died, Ai Liang immediately provided the police with the suspect, and then waited at the entrance of the suspect's residential area for a whole day and night."

"Even if a normal person has a suspect, they wouldn't go to such lengths for someone who is not a suspect."

More importantly, his vigil led him to discover the crucial murder glove—doesn't that seem like an incredible coincidence?

Gao Bin wanted to refute, but Xia Qiyuan's words were flawless, so he could only nod reluctantly.

"And then there's Wang Qiang's death. Just after you tracked down the traffic police based on the clues and learned that Xu Zhihai might have a motive, he solved the mystery of the poem and the mathematical formula and brought Xu Zhihai over to turn himself in."

"No matter what you do, Ai Liang always manages to get ahead of you and gather key clues and evidence, even though these things are essentially unrelated to him. Isn't that enough to arouse suspicion?"

“You’ve been led by the nose almost from beginning to end without realizing it. Neva City has become more comfortable in recent years, and Shi Feng’s abilities have declined quite a bit.”

"Do you know Captain Shi?" Gao Bin asked.

“An old friend’s apprentice,” Xia Qiyuan replied casually.

As Xia Qiyuan spoke, he narrowed his eyes: "Of course, these two things are not the reason for me to doubt him. After all, there are quite a few people who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

"What really makes me suspicious is the relationship between Ai Liang and Xu Zhihai. Ai Liang brought breakfast for Xu Zhihai for two years. Also, there's Ai Liang's personal knowledge. Do you remember why masks are so popular?"

Gao Bin nodded slightly: "Impart various kinds of knowledge and experience to users, so that they can quickly become all-rounders..."

"That Ai Liang seems to know quite a lot. The mathematical formulas in Xu Zhihai's notebook aren't something you can understand just by casually learning some math. Plus, he knows medicine and is fluent in several foreign languages. How could he possibly be so knowledgeable at only fifteen years old..."

Xia Qiyuan was interrupted by the analyzer's beeping sound halfway through his sentence.

He quickly checked the results.

At this moment, Gao Bin seemed hesitant to speak.

"Hey, Lao He." Gao Bin gently tapped Xia Qiyuan's shoulder with his finger.

"Spit it out," Xia Qiyuan said irritably as he busied himself observing and comparing the results.

"That Ai Liang... he really is a genius."

“A genius? My old friend’s adopted daughter is also a genius with an IQ close to 150, but she didn’t exaggerate to this extent.”

Xia Qiyuan clearly did not believe it.

Gao Bin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately risked being retaliated against and said, "But what you're talking about, Ai Liang learned when she was five years old..."

Xia Qiyuan finally raised his head, frowning as he asked, "What did you say?"

"Well, actually, a lot of people know about this... Do you remember that news about the child prodigy in Nevada fifteen years ago?"

"Fifteen years ago...you mean that child who could read and write at the age of one?"

After a moment's recollection, Xia Qiyuan retrieved this information from his memory.

After all, this matter has caused quite a stir, and there is video evidence, so major media outlets are vying to report on it.

"Isn't that a rumor?"

“That’s true, but later someone put pressure on us and treated it as a rumor.” Gao Bin pulled up the intelligence that Shi Feng had collected and sent it to Xia Qiyuan.

"Captain Shi wanted to take Ai Liang as his apprentice, so he conducted a detailed investigation into his family background."

"..."

"Old He?"

Gao Bin appeared cautious on the surface, but was secretly overjoyed.

This cheap teacher is always making these kinds of inferences, and it's incredibly satisfying to see those pretentious people get their comeuppance.

At this moment, Gao Bin was extremely remorseful for evading taxes.

However, that wasn't enough. Gao Bin then asked, "What were the test results? Were there any problems?"

"……no problem."

"Hey, is there no problem... Could it be that your reasoning is wrong, Lao He? That's impossible."

Gao Bin acted as if there was definitely something wrong with the equipment, which was incredibly annoying.

Xia Qiyuan ignored the smug Gao Bin; he was still pondering the suspicious points in the case.

His intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with Ai Liang.

Who are those people behind the masks? Almost all of them are mentally unstable lunatics.

Ai Liang exposed Xu Zhihai's murder plot but did not suffer any repercussions.

This is the biggest point of contention.

According to Xu Zhihai's autopsy results, he has a constitution that adapts to strange objects. Since he has this constitution, he is definitely not an ordinary mask, but a mask responsible for managing the masks.

The masked individuals possess a strange adaptive constitution and do not become mentally unstable madmen like ordinary masked individuals.

When Xu Zhihai was at his lowest point, Ai Liang brought him breakfast every day and was willing to talk to him. So, out of gratitude, Xu Zhihai is very likely to extend an invitation to Ai Liang.

Moreover, Ai Liang herself is quite intelligent, making her worth inviting.

After all, the masked people are only so lenient with their own people or those they want to invite.

In his original reasoning, Ai Liang was very likely one of the masked men, and that he was the one who took away the half-dead masked man.

Gao Bin beat the masked man half to death, and with his crippled body, it would be difficult for the masked man to run far.

Furthermore, they found the van the masked man used to escape near a construction site, which further convinced him that the masked man must have been taken away by someone.

Xia Qiyuan originally wanted to investigate Ai Liang in depth to see if Ai Liang had an alibi when Gao Bin fought with the mask in the warehouse.

But before they could investigate, an emergency order was issued from above, transferring him and Gao Bin to Qianhua City.

Xia Qiyuan didn't even have time to collect evidence.

So when he met Ai Liang this time, he used some illegal means.

Soon, the results from the analyzer came out.

The data shows that everything is normal.

Anyone who has worn a mask will have some genetic changes, making them very different from ordinary people.

Now, not only are the mental wavelengths normal, but the genetic testing is also fine. Both test results prove that Ai Liang is indeed just an ordinary person.

'Could it be that I guessed wrong?'

Xia Qiyuan bit his lip and began to reflect on his actions.

On the rooftop of the building across the street, Ai Liang looked down at the two people inside the modified car.

After confirming that the test results were correct, he disappeared at the edge of the rooftop.
