Chapter Seventy-One
"There's a limit to nonsense!" Liu Zheyu retorted angrily. "Do you think the police will believe you if you just make false accusations and go to the station?"
Yun Xin wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, she was very curious. "Don't you know that people with spiritual attributes can awaken 'lie detection' superpowers? When you go to the police station, they'll ask you questions, and if your answer doesn't match the facts you've come to, you're considered 'lying'."
As she finished speaking, she tightened her grip, pinning him down firmly, "You can't escape."
Liu Zheyu was filled with shock and anger.
He knew, of course, that there were people in the police department with superpowers who could tell if someone was lying, with an accuracy even higher than that of a lie detector.
But with so many people in the Federation, it's impossible for superpowered individuals to ask each one individually.
He has a clean record, a normal schedule, and remains completely hidden behind the scenes. In theory, he should be very safe.
Who knew that after hiring a nasty bodyguard, the first time he brought her to the mutual aid association, she called the police and arrested the traveler on the spot.
Liu Zheyu was furious, but didn't want to keep a ticking time bomb around, so he decided to fire the person.
But something went wrong halfway through, and the other party stopped him from leaving, even questioning him about whether he was with the time travelers.
Liu Zheyu, of course, would not admit it.
He was determined to gloss over the matter, but the other party seemed to be able to see through his lies and discern them precisely.
Could it be...?
Do you have a 'lie detection' superpower?
"Yes," Yun Xin admitted frankly.
Liu Zheyu nearly vomited blood.
If he had known earlier that Yunxin had the superpower to detect lies, he would never have answered directly.
Unfortunately, knowing it earlier is priceless.
Yun Xin, who outwardly possesses "superhuman perception," secretly possesses a second spiritual attribute superpower. And it's none other than "lie detection"! Who would have thought?
Liu Zheyu struggled even more fiercely.
He knew all too well what he would face once his lie was exposed. Therefore, he was filled with immense fear and wanted to escape even more.
"I was only being polite to you because I didn't have any evidence before. Did you really think I wouldn't dare to make a move?" Yun Xin said, knocking the man unconscious with a karate chop.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Song, who had been lying on the ground like a corpse after being knocked down, dusted himself off and quickly stood up. "Are you sure the fraud case is related to the boss? If you're wrong, it will be very troublesome later."
"It's him, there's no mistake," Yun Xin replied confidently.
During their conversation, police sirens blared. A moment later, several police officers and individuals with superpowers rushed in.
"I called the police. The suspect is here; he's already unconscious." Yun Xin gestured for the police to take the person away.
To everyone's surprise, the police not only handcuffed Liu Zheyu and took him away, but also surrounded Brother Song and Sister Qing.
"The suspect is a rich second-generation heir, always accompanied by bodyguards, and may have accomplices. Please cooperate with the police investigation."
What else could Song Ge say? Of course, he gave up resistance.
Sister Qing was utterly speechless. "I've been fired! I'm no longer his bodyguard, so why do I have to be investigated along with him? I knew nothing about the fraud!"
"Whether you're genuinely unaware or pretending, come with us," the superpowered individual urged. "If you're truly innocent, a lie detector test will clear your name."
Sister Qing, "..."
You really need to find a good boss.
If you encounter an unreliable person, you can end up being dragged to the police station for questioning while you're at work.
What's even more outrageous is that even leaving the company doesn't absolve them of responsibility.
"The person who called the police also has to give a statement." The police were much more polite when dealing with Yun Xin.
It's all over the big circles that there's this guy who calls the police as soon as he senses something's wrong, sending people to prison like he's delivering goods in bulk, and he's even saved a lot of innocent people.
The so-called "light of the righteous path" is nothing more than this.
"Okay." Yun Xin agreed without hesitation.
In the interrogation room.
The police officer and the superhuman sat side by side opposite Yun Xin.
The police asked, "Why do you suspect Liu Zheyu of having a problem?"
Yunxin replied, "He was my boss. He fired me for no reason. My lie detector indicated that he was lying. So I started to wonder why he was so angry. Could it be related to the fraud case? Later, I asked him and it turned out to be related. I immediately called the police."
In fact, Liu Zheyu was just unlucky.
He said, "If you neglect your work, I can't keep you here."
The claim that the person possessed superpowers is a lie.
But what if he said, "I never want to see you again"?
If you have superpowers, you'll be able to tell that it's the truth, and nothing will happen afterward.
Therefore, language is a very important art.
The police officer then asked, "Have you considered what would happen if you made a mistake?"
Yun Xin looked completely innocent. "I sincerely apologize to the boss and hope he can forgive my unintentional mistake. If necessary, I'm willing to forgo my salary."
Police officer: ...With you, my boss is truly impressed.
They then inquired about the details of the fraud case, and chatted for a long time, asking and answering questions.
"May I ask a question?" Yun Xin suddenly asked as the interrogation was about to end.
"I suddenly have a craving for coffee," the police officer muttered to himself as he walked out of the interrogation room. Before the superhuman accompanying him could emerge, he closed the interrogation room door.
Only the lie detector expert and Yun Xin remained in the interrogation room.
"They have received specialized training and have a high level of professionalism," the lie detector expert said seriously. "I'm different. I can't keep a secret and I'll say anything."
Yun Xin was slightly embarrassed. "Are you... alright?"
"The situation is special, so it's normal for the quality of the people we urgently recruit to vary." The lie detector superpower user said indifferently, "Although we are also public officials, we are not subject to many restrictions. As long as we can do the job, that's enough."
Yunxin seized the opportunity to ask a question, "My first question is, some people I know have shown superpowers and soon after received job offers from the federal government. But I have called the police several times and have never received a similar offer."
This refers to Xiao Wei.
He had only knocked out a lion on the road when he received a call from the federal government.
She prevented multiple incidents and was never contacted.
It's not that I wanted to go, it just felt strange.
“Generally speaking, the process is to identify talent one by one, conduct background checks, political background checks, interviews, Q&A sessions, and only after all of these are completed can they be hired.” The lie detector superpower user had a strange expression. “You are very famous, one of the first batch of superpower users to be discovered, and your superpower is also practical, but unfortunately you were rejected at the background check stage.”
Yunxin seemed to understand something, "Because of work experience?"
The lie detector expert nodded slightly. "Even the smallest possibility becomes a 100% chance under the influence of the Evolution Game. The Federation can't afford to lose, and dares not gamble."
So they simply pretended not to know Yun Xin and let nothing happen.
Yun Xin pondered, it seemed that the Federation had seriously considered her situation in order to avoid accidentally harming friendly forces.
"The second problem is that in the past, I always had to explain a lot of things when I called, but now I only need to explain the situation, and someone will be dispatched immediately."
Although I already had some guesses, I still wanted to get a definite answer from someone in the know.
The person with the lie detector ability said, "Your phone number is specially marked. Knowing you have superpowers and can give warnings, operators will pay extra attention when they receive your call."
"The third question," Yun Xin said gravely, "is that Liu Zheyu is not easy to deal with. If he still refuses to talk, how do you plan to get him to open up?"
The lie detector expert smiled and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. In fact, there are already hundreds of awakened superpowers based on spiritual attributes alone. What 'lie detection' can't handle, 'hypnosis' can."
“One last question,” Yun Xin said. “Liu Zheyu is a true second-generation rich kid, with a net worth of several hundred million. I don’t understand why someone with his wealth would resort to fraud.”
"After the investigation results are released, can I hear the story behind it?"
The person with lie detector abilities thought for a moment, "I'm never good with my mouth. I might accidentally let something slip when I'm talking to a friend."
Yunxin understood and promptly added the other party's contact information, successfully becoming a "friend who will soon be talking to you".
After giving her statement, Yunxin was released and allowed to leave the police station.
However, she didn't leave; instead, she went next door to visit Sister Qing.
The number of prison cells is limited, but this fraud case resulted in the arrest of many people. As a result, each cell was crammed with more than twenty people, creating chaos everywhere.
"How are you? Are you alright?" Yunxin brought a boxed lunch with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes to Sister Qing.
Sister Qing sat in the corner, holding her lunchbox, feeling particularly miserable. Strangely, among the many people who had been brought back, her situation was relatively better.
Two people were the most unlucky, completely unaware of the situation, and were simply hired by the time traveler to handle trivial matters such as registration, receiving payments, transferring funds, and preparing reports.
As a result, the police determined that they were accomplices in the fraud. Even if they were unaware of the fraud, they could not escape imprisonment.
However, since the circumstances are relatively minor, the sentence may be 1 to 3 years.
Those two were practically going crazy. They ended up in jail because they were so desperate to find a job—it's outrageous!
In comparison, Sister Qing is assisting with the investigation and will be released once the investigation is over, which is much better.
"Think about happy things, and time will fly by," Yunxin comforted her.
But Sister Qing said, "I can't remember, and I don't feel like I'm happy about anything."
"How about male models at clubs?" Yun Xin suggested, pointing the way. "Aren't you quite interested in male models at clubs?"
After a moment of silence, Sister Qing said softly, "Actually, it's just so-so... I've been there a few times, and it didn't seem very interesting."
“When men were in power, they always frequented clubs and had young models. Now that I’m in power, I always feel like I’m missing out if I don’t go to those places.”
"But when I went there, I just looked around and saw something unusual. In the end, I found that my own moral standards were too high, and I couldn't be as casual as men."
"I hate that men can do it, but women can't. I think to myself, either all of them can do it, or none of them can do it. As a result, no matter what I do, I'm bound by useless morals."
"Then what if you change your goal and do something you're interested in?" Yun Ting encouraged. "What others do is their business, don't compare yourself to them. As long as you don't break the law, try your best to make yourself happy."
"Nine-to-five job, weekends off, no overtime, resolutely against cutthroat competition. When I have free time, I can go shopping, eat something nice, watch a movie, buy some clothes, have a professional makeup artist do my makeup, style my hair, braid my hair, and have a photoshoot at a studio..."
Sister Qing's eyes were surprisingly bright.
These sound much more interesting than the male models at the club!
The following afternoon, Yunxin received a phone call.
"It's been found out. Liu Zheyu is indeed a second-generation rich kid. His family's finances are fine, and the company is operating normally. However, the men in his family have a history of hereditary diseases and generally don't live past 35."
"Just when he thought he was doomed, someone contacted him. They said that as long as Liu Zheyu was willing to help, they would provide information from time to time to help Liu Zheyu improve his rating and obtain high attribute rewards."
"The so-called help is just setting up a mutual aid association. On the surface, it's a mutual aid organization. But once the members get to know each other, time travelers will make their grand entrance. They claim they can go back in time to make up for people's regrets, and that's how they scam money."
"Liu Zheyu would take the lead in paying when the members hesitated, creating the illusion that there were limited spots and that they had to be scrambled to get them."
