Gu Shi pointed at the photo and said, "This is the person. Although the person in this photo has changed a little in appearance, the facial features are still basically the same."
"Let me see." Wang Feng moved closer to the screen and glanced at the photo and the information below, "Li Hui, a senior, originally majored in automation.
After arriving in this world, I was diagnosed with a talent for magic. More than two years ago, I chose to study at Congleton School of Magic. My most recent advancement was three months ago, reaching the fourth level, a beginner, majoring in water magic.
Gu Shi sighed, "If he had only entered the academy two years ago, wouldn't he be two grades younger than me? To be able to reach the fourth level of strength, he must be very talented."
Wang Feng waved his hand. "He said he only entered the academy two years ago, but in fact, he and you started training only a few months apart. Besides, who among the students who can enter the Condleton School of Magic is not talented?"
After locking in the suspect, Wang Feng used the mouse to scroll down a page of information, "There's no record of Li Hui returning to the base in the past two months... He clearly came back every month before.
Could it be that he has been controlled since two months ago?"
Gu Shi pondered for a moment and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's September now, which happens to be the day for the college assessment, and Li Hui advanced three months ago.
During the time he was away, he might have been preparing for the college assessment. Based on this information alone, it's unclear when Li Hui's accident occurred.
As students of Xia Country who grew up taking one exam after another, this group of people can be said to attach great importance to exams.
Congleton's annual college assessment is like the final exam every year, and students with plans will start preparing long in advance.
After all, if you fail a normal final exam, you might just get scolded a few times, but it’s different at Congleton College. If you don’t perform well in the annual college assessment, you might be asked to drop out.
Gu Shi felt that Li Hui had not returned for the past two months, perhaps to prepare for the college assessment and consolidate his strength.
Wang Feng took a look at the records and found that Li Hui had never come back since that advancement. Gu Shi’s speculation made sense.
"No matter what, he needs to be put on the priority watch list first. I will send Li Hui's photo to the people who are on guard every day and ask them to report him as soon as they see him."
Wang Feng was editing a message on his phone as he said, "September is only a few days away. If the person controlling Li Hui doesn't want others to notice anything unusual, he should come to the base after his vacation. I have to figure out how to get more information out of him."
Gu Shi suddenly remembered something and said, "That fake Li Hui also gave me his contact information and said he wanted to treat me to a meal. I'll see if I can take advantage of this opportunity to do something."
Wang Feng advised with some concern: "I think it's better for you to stay away from him. It would be bad if he gets involved as well."
"Don't worry, Captain Wang. I'm not an impulsive person. I will definitely make sure my own safety before I contact this faker." Gu Shi patted his chest, signaling Wang Feng not to worry.
Wang Feng thought about Gu Shi's usual behavior. Although he was still a little worried, he did not try to persuade him anymore.
He closed the information displayed on the computer screen, then retrieved a photo from the folder, which showed a map of Congleton.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Where did you just follow the fake Wang Hui to? Tell me the location and I'll send someone to investigate later."
Gu Shi reached out and tapped the screen. "It's right here. It's the house at the end of the street on the right. The gate is brown, and there's a pot of light yellow flowers on the windowsill next to it."
"Here? Okay, I'll note it down." Wang Feng made a red mark on the map.
Seeing that Wang Feng was busy arranging the next task, Gu Shi felt that it was time for him to say goodbye.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. If there's any news later, I'll contact you, Captain Wang, as soon as possible."
Wang Feng nodded. "Okay, please find out more about Congleton College."
Wang Feng actually asked other people to help find out about the situation at Congleton College, but they all came back empty-handed.
He also had some understanding of Teacher Gu Shi's identity. He could be said to be the person from whom they were most likely to obtain intelligence. He hoped that Gu Shi could bring back some good news this time.
Wang Feng had long wanted to ask Gu Shi for help. Even if Gu Shi didn't come to him today, he would visit him in two days.
If it can be confirmed that this incident is targeting Congleton College and they can tell us how to deal with it, then the pressure on Wang Feng will be reduced a lot, and he will only need to cooperate with the college's actions in the future.

Gu Shi left the base and returned to Field's Mage Tower.
Gu Shi had originally planned to find Field as soon as possible to find out the news, but unfortunately the timing was wrong. Field was in the laboratory studying alchemy. He had no choice but to wait patiently for Field to come out.
Fortunately, Field didn't stay there for ten days or half a month. Two days later, Gu Shi saw him again.
Gu Shi knocked on the study door. "Teacher, are you free now? I have something to ask you."
"Come in." Field's voice came from the room.
Gu Shi walked into the study and Field was looking at him with a smile on his face, appearing to be in a good mood.
"What do you want to ask? Are you having trouble learning magic again?"
Gu Shi shook his head. "No, I have something else to ask. Teacher, do you know anything about the spiritual imprint?"
Field was a little surprised. "Spiritual imprint? Why do you suddenly think of asking this? Could it be... you've been back to the academy in two days?"
Hearing Field say this, Gu Shi understood that the academy was indeed aware of this matter, but he didn't know what plans they had behind the scenes.
Seeing that Gu Shi didn't reply, Field frowned immediately and said, "Come here, let me check you."
Gu Shi finally came to his senses and quickly waved his hands, "No, teacher, you misunderstood. I haven't been back to the academy. I'm asking this question for other people."
Although Gu Shi said so, Field was still worried and took his hand to check it carefully. After confirming that there was nothing on Gu Shi that shouldn't be there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Field carefully instructed, "I'm glad you're okay. Don't go to the academy for the time being. It's best to be careful in the city and avoid contact with strangers."
Gu Shi looked at Field's expression and for a moment couldn't help but imagine his own mother. The worried and nagging look was really exactly the same as his mother in a sense.
He smiled and responded, "Yeah, I get it."
