You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the unremarkable young auxiliary police officer.

The man kept his head down, his body trembling slightly, looking as if he had been terrified by this earth-shattering event, perfectly blending into the background.

However, within Lin Chen's [God-level Insight] perspective...

The mass of sin above this person's head, almost solidified, was a deep, purplish-red and a glossy black!

[Name: Jack (Jacques de Raphael)]

[Sin Value: 3888!]

[Crimes Details: S-level international fugitive, codenamed "The Magician," suspected of stealing the Louvre's famous painting "Water Lilies," the British Museum's "Koh-i-Noor" diamond...]

found it.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

He ignored Li Mingyu's furious roar, took long strides, and walked step by step toward the young auxiliary police officer.

His footsteps were not heavy.

But in the exhibition hall, where you could hear a pin drop, it felt like the drumbeats of death striking everyone's heart.

All eyes in the room followed his figure and focused on the trembling auxiliary police officer.

Su Qingge and Ye Qingcheng's hearts jumped into their throats instantly.

It's him?

How is that possible?!

The anger on Li Mingyu's face froze for a moment, then transformed into a deep sense of absurdity and mockery.

"Lin Chen! Have you gone crazy because you can't solve the case? Xiao Wang is a new intern at the bureau, an honest and unassuming young man. You suspect him?!"

Lin Chen didn't turn around, nor did he stop walking.

He approached step by step, each step seemingly measuring the psychological defenses of his prey.

"Officer."

Lin Chen's voice was calm, yet it carried a power that could pierce through people's hearts.

"Your shoelaces are tied in a very unique way."

Everyone instinctively looked down at the auxiliary police officer's standard leather shoes.

There was an extremely complex knot on it, yet it possessed a certain aesthetic beauty of regularity.

"This is a 'double-ring cross knot'."

Lin Chen's voice echoed in the silent exhibition hall.

"A special technique invented by magicians to train their fingers to achieve extreme dexterity and precise operation even in the dark."

"There are no more than a hundred people in the whole world who know how to tie their hair this way."

The auxiliary police officer, who had his head down, stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Lin Chen had already walked up to him, less than a meter away.

The air between the two seemed to have been sucked out, solidifying into an invisible piece of amber.

Lin Chen's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the other person's tightly clenched fist, whose knuckles were slightly white.

"Furthermore, since the power went out, your heart rate has been consistently at 120 beats per minute."

"This is the heart rate of a top athlete during a sprint."

"You're extremely excited."

"Even when we were arresting that mute guy and the whole place was cheering 'Case solved,' your heart rate didn't change at all."

"Because you know that it was just a farce you staged."

Lin Chen's voice grew colder and heavier with each sentence!

The auxiliary police officer's body began to tremble slightly.

But this time, it wasn't feigned fear, but an uncontrollable... physiological reaction after being completely seen through!

Li Mingyu was completely dumbfounded.

His mouth was agape, his mind blank, and he couldn't utter a single word of the roar and doubt that were on the tip of his tongue.

Inside the exhibition hall, there was a deathly silence.

Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, a mixture of shock, doubt, and horror.

The auxiliary police officer, who had been keeping his head down, slowly, very slowly raised his head.

All the fear and panic on his otherwise ordinary, even somewhat cowardly face receded like the tide.

Instead, a strange, sinister smile appeared, carrying a hint of mockery and a touch of admiration.

His voice has also undergone a dramatic change.

No longer the timid intern, but someone who has become magnetic and elegant, like the sound of a cello.

"Wonderful."

"What a brilliant deduction!"

"I thought my disguise was flawless. You are the first person to see through my 'blind spot' trick just by looking at a few details."

"Consultant Lin, I'm starting to be interested in you as a person, not in your identity."

boom--!

Li Mingyu was struck dumb, staggering back several steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, his eyes filled with incomprehensible terror.

It's him!

It's really him!

That elusive international thief had been wearing a police uniform and blending in with them from the very beginning!

And yet, I was acting like a fool, swaggering around in front of him!

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

All the special police officers reacted instantly, and dozens of dark gun barrels were pointed at him in unison!

However, despite the overwhelming force that could have riddled him with bullets, "The Magician" Jack showed no fear whatsoever.

He even had the leisure to reach behind his ear, gently pinch and tear it.

hiss-

He casually tore off a human skin mask that was as thin as a cicada's wing and almost indistinguishable from real skin.

Beneath the mask lies a face that could make any woman scream.

It was a mixed-race face, with the soft features of an East Asian and the deep, sculpted features of a Westerner. His deep blue eyes seemed to hold the stars and the sea, and the wicked smile at the corner of his mouth was deadly attractive.

He is none other than Jack, the man on Interpol's S-level Red Notice who has caused headaches for police forces in countless countries!

"Wow……"

Even the female reporter outside the cordon exclaimed in surprise, forgetting to press the shutter button.

That thief... is so cool!

Jack casually tossed the human skin mask on the ground, then bowed to his only opponent in the room, Lin Chen, with his hand on his chest, performing an elegant, medieval-aristocratic gentlemanly bow.

"Nice to meet you, Consultant Lin."

"To show my respect, I'd like to give you a small gift."

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly jerked his wrist!

He smashed a black sphere onto the polished marble floor!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

"Oh no! It's a smoke bomb!"

Su Qingge shouted loudly.

But it was too late!

boom--!

A burst of pink smoke, not pungent but rather carrying a rich rose fragrance, exploded instantly, engulfing the entire exhibition hall in three seconds!

"Cough cough cough!"

The thick smoke obstructed everyone's vision, and the pungent aroma caused everyone to cough violently, plunging the scene into chaos instantly!

Amid the chaos, a very faint "whoosh" sound came from the direction of the ceiling.

That's the sound of the grappling hook being fired!

"Second floor!"

Just as the smoke filled the air, Lin Chen's powerful shout resounded throughout the entire venue!

His god-like hearing had already pinpointed the opponent's location!
