"Behave yourself. What, you want revenge?"
It turned out that Gao Feng was one of the two pickpockets. From their conversation, they learned that Gao Feng was the one who reported them. He wanted to attack and hurt people, but Officer Zhang stopped him.
Officer Zhang quickly called his colleagues to put the two bastards into the police car, and said that other follow-up matters would be dealt with after the investigation was completed.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you. I thought you wouldn't be there."
Officer Zhang apologized profusely to Gao Feng, acknowledging that it was indeed his carelessness and that his improper actions could have put Gao Feng's life in danger.
These habitual offenders are all tough nut to crack. The things they did weren't serious, just trivial small-scale cases that didn't warrant a prison sentence. At most, they'd be released after six months in jail. But these people are ruthless. If they found out that Gao Feng reported them, throwing paint on them would be the least of their worries. They might stab him in the back and ruin him.
"It's alright. As a legal professional, I am upright and fearless!" He waved his hand confidently, dispelling Officer Zhang's doubts.
"Hey, what's up? One of us?"
"I guess so. I graduated from a university of political science and law, and we almost became colleagues. My senior colleague is in the criminal investigation team of the municipal bureau." The second half of the sentence is true, and the first half is also true. The middle sentence is a bit exaggerated. He didn't even apply for the civil service exam, so how could he be missing out on something so small?
With this relationship that was neither too close nor too distant, the two got along quite well.
"If you have time in the next couple of days, come to our police station. You'll still get the bonus you're due."
"That's great, it'll make up for my losses."
"What, you got robbed too?" Officer Zhang looked at him with surprise. Could this kid be harboring resentment and that's why he reported those two bastards?
"No, that's not it. There was a slight accident; the car's steering wheel broke."
He spread his hands, expressing his innocence. He claimed that the steering wheel breakage was unintentional and that it was fair to say he was innocent.
"The steering wheel... is broken?" Officer Zhang had seen many strange things, but a car was parked here perfectly fine, and you're telling me the steering wheel is broken?
Unconvinced, he stepped forward and opened the car door. Without even sticking his head in, he could see a bare dashboard. Indeed, where there should have been a steering wheel, there was now a configuration almost identical to the passenger side, except for the addition of an instrument panel.
"You're... quite sharp." After thinking for a long time, Officer Zhang finally came up with this adjective.
Gao Ang awkwardly touched the tip of his nose and said with a little embarrassment, "Who would have thought that imported cars are so flimsy? We can only call a tow truck."
The two added each other on WeChat. Officer Zhang went ahead, as he had to go back to deal with the two pickpockets. Gao Ang waited for the tow truck to arrive, while simultaneously conjuring up one scenario after another in his mind.
"Should we just say it was a car accident? That won't do. Car accidents always leave external injuries. How about we make a few more holes in the front of the car?"
"The manufacturer's quality is not good enough. It breaks with just a little bit of force? That won't do. They've sold so many of these cars and haven't had any problems."
Gao Ang was very worried about how to explain the 'steering wheel breakage accident' to Xia Weiwei. In the end, he could only blame the pickpocket.
"I engaged in a fierce struggle with the two pickpockets inside the car. The weight and explosive power of the three men were beyond the imagination of ordinary people, especially their explosive power in the moment of crisis, which directly broke the steering wheel."
Xia Weiwei listened to Gao Ang's nonsense with a blank expression, revealing no emotion whatsoever. Her sharp gaze made Gao Ang feel uneasy.
"Well, it really was broken during a fight. I'll pay for the repairs, okay?"
How did you know there were two pickpockets in the car?
Xia Weiwei didn't care about the repair cost at all. Instead, she asked Gao Feng a question that surprised him and was difficult to answer.
Saying that the scent you smelled was a huge help? That's bullshit. Do you think you're a police dog?
You claim you tracked her down the whole way before finally calling the police? Why didn't you do that earlier? Wouldn't it have been better to warn the old lady sooner?
"They were talking very loudly. My car—no, your car—was parked right next to them. Based on what they were saying, I figured they were pickpockets." This answer should be irrefutable, since he genuinely heard them talking.
Why wasn't braised pork made for lunch?
Gao Ang felt his brain was a bit slow to work. This woman's thought process seemed different from that of ordinary people. The previous question and this question were completely unrelated and had no connection whatsoever.
"It's my own fault for breaking someone else's steering wheel," he could only honestly reply.
"You're on your period, so you should avoid greasy food..."
"rogue!"
Xia Weiwei was very ashamed and indignant, and even looked at Gao Feng with some disdain. She herself would forget the time of her period because she was too busy with work, so how could this strange man know?
Could it be that he slipped into my bathroom when I wasn't looking?
She couldn't find any other reason besides this answer.
"No, what's with that look?" Gao Feng asked warily. He sensed something was off in Xia Weiwei's eyes; it was a questioning of his character.
“I told you, you are not allowed to enter areas above the second floor…”
"I never went up there!" Gao Ang shouted, trying to defend himself.
"Then how did you know...?" Although she was ashamed and indignant, she remained exceptionally cold and aloof.
So that's what it was about. Gao Ang finally understood why she suddenly looked at him with such contempt, and combined with her suspicion that he had gone upstairs... Good heavens, did she think he had seen something he shouldn't have?
Holy crap, I'm so wronged!
"Here's the thing, you've been acting strangely these past few days. It's either menopause or your period. Also, yesterday I noticed you looked pale and your lips were colorless. Although you still walked with a very upright posture, I could see that you were extremely weak. Based on all of this, I've concluded that you've started your period. Landlord, is this explanation satisfactory?"
What Gao Ang said was indeed true, but it was a reverse deduction that occurred after he deduced that Xia Weiwei had her period.
"Really?" Xia Weiwei was skeptical.
"It's real, even more real than a diamond."
Xia Weiwei tilted her head and thought about it for a while. She couldn't find any major faults in his words, so she could only call the 4S store with some doubt and ask them to deal with the MINI grocery-getter with the broken steering wheel.
After dealing with Xia Weiwei's questions, Gao Ang quickly returned to his bedroom. He didn't want to stay with this policewoman any longer, lest he accidentally let something slip because of her beauty.
Sitting in front of the computer, Gao Ang opened his diary and began to record the incident of fainting today.
June 25th, cloudy.
The second side effect after the mutation appeared: when I went to buy groceries in the morning, I fainted for nearly half an hour for unknown reasons.
The cause is tentatively determined to be a 'system crash'.
Inference: The heightened senses of smell and hearing result in an abnormally large amount of information received, exceeding the current capacity of the brain.
Solutions: 1. Reduce the input of external information and data; 2. Improve the brain's computing power;
At this point, Gao Ang began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these two solutions.
The first option is the simplest: simply block out the vast majority of information, or avoid trying to explore other information and data in a wider range. But wouldn't that be throwing the baby out with the bathwater?
Having finally obtained the ability to mutate, not only do you not use it, but you also seal it away, not giving it a chance to show its talent. It's a complete waste.
So the first plan was immediately rejected, and he decided to improve his brain's computing power.
How to improve computing power is a question.
If it's a computer, then it's easy to fix: change the operating system, expand the hard drive, and upgrade the hardware configuration.
But he is a living person, so why would he need a full-body organ transplant?
Moreover, his physical body is already perfect. If it's not the strongest on Earthly Yellow Star, it should be in the top 10% without any problem, right?
The fainting spell was caused by receiving too much information and being unable to process it all. Currently, the only thing we can do is continue intensive training to gradually adapt the brain to this workload.
Such training methods are definitely risky. If the brain's workload is limited, constantly increasing the burden on the brain could very well lead to brain death and a true vegetative state.
However, the benefits are also obvious: if the brain can adapt to the ever-increasing amount of training, it will eventually evolve into a true super brain.
Imagine if you recorded the smell and sound fluctuation data of most people or objects, and even their shape data, wouldn't you really become a supercomputer?
Aren't the popular cloud computing and big data analytics all based on the collection of sample data, and then selecting information objects that conform to the rules of a script written by a programmer?
At that time, forget about money and beautiful women; those things will be within my grasp. I will become a god looking down upon all living beings on this planet, their every word and action within my calculations, knowing exactly what they want to do and how they want to do it...
Thinking about this, Gao Ang was already excited and got an erection. Although the goal was far away, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, and the more fun it was to play.
To achieve this goal, we must first start by increasing our brain capacity and computing power.
Having learned from the morning's experience, Gao Ang dared not search for sounds and smells with all his might this time, but instead slowly increased the range of his perception.
In his mind, smell and hearing were like a radar, or rather, two radars, radiating a continuous stream of exploration signals from his bedroom, incorporating all the information and data within their range into his sensory database.
Only when his brain felt slightly tired, even a little throbbing, did he stop sensing and begin analyzing the data in his sensory database: what was the smell, what was its composition, what were its chemical components; whether the sound came from a human, an animal, or another object, whether it was a collision between two people, friction between one person, or a tearing or biting between animals...
"Having experienced the fainting spell this morning, it seems like the limits of my exploration have expanded?"
Before he could verify it, Gao Ang blocked out other data and traced the scent, which was a mixture of faint milky and metallic aromas. This scent seemed very peculiar to him and, logically speaking, should not exist in this place.
