Chapter 55: Isn't it Abnormal for a Comedian to Learn Combat?

"The body puzzle case and the refrigerator body case are somehow connected, and the police have started investigating in that direction. The three Meng brothers are all within the scope of investigation, but compared to Meng Changan, the second brother, Meng Changxi, has a greater suspicion of committing the crimes."



Li Xue looked at the information on her phone and retrieved some data that the police had found.



As Han Fei looked at the detailed information displayed by Li Xue, he realized that he had completely underestimated the capabilities of the police. With the continuous development of technology, aided by advanced technologies, society had become an extremely complex network of interconnectedness.



Anyone who used modern technology left traces on the internet that could be traced.



And these traces would be collected and organized by the smart brain to create unique personality models.



The personality models Li Xue showed Han Fei were those of Meng Changxi and Meng Changan. According to the system's evaluation, Meng Changan was generally considered a good person, but Meng Changxi exhibited severe antisocial tendencies.



"Why is it like this?" Han Fei felt puzzled, as the system's judgment differed from the information Meng Shi had provided earlier.



"The system's judgment is not always 100% accurate; it's just a reference. In fact, even before the search of the New Hu Ecological Forest, another team of police had secretly been monitoring the Meng brothers. The New Hu police force is extremely capable. Once they seize a clue, several departments work together like a precise machine."



"Meng Changshou, the eldest brother, and Meng Changan have their information mostly available, but Meng Changxi disappeared shortly after the body puzzle case. Since then, he hasn't used his identity information, which is highly abnormal. It's as if he's hiding from something," Li Xue said while looking at Meng Changxi's personality model. "This person has been introverted since childhood due to the birthmark on his face. He felt inferior and was often bullied. As he grew up, he was frequently complained about by clients in his work. Apart from his wife and brothers, no one around him thinks he is normal."



"But based on this alone, it doesn't mean he has antisocial tendencies!" Han Fei had discussed this with Meng Shi, who, as Meng Changxi's mother, had the most say in the matter.



"When Meng Changxi disappeared many years ago, the police investigated him at the time. It was his wife who reported the case. She said that Meng Changxi was emotionally unstable before his disappearance and always felt someone would kill him. The police found many notes about the body puzzle case and specimens of insects and small animals under Meng Changxi's bed. It seems like he has been hiding his true self."



"Have you considered another possibility? Could the things in Meng Changxi's house be planted to frame him?" Han Fei presented a different perspective. "Meng Changxi's disappearance might not be to evade police investigation. If he didn't lie, it's highly possible that someone truly wanted to kill him! That person would be the real culprit!"



The person who knew Meng Changxi best in the world wasn't his newlywed wife or his non-blood-related brothers but the deceased Meng Shi.



Through Meng Shi, Han Fei learned the most important information: although Meng Changxi had various character flaws, he was a gentle person compared to Meng Changan. It was Meng Changxi who had a twisted mind and, when scolded by Meng Shi, would vent his frustration by torturing insects and earthworms.



But all of this had been covered up after Meng Shi's death, and Meng Changxi became a good person while Meng Changxi was labelled as abnormal.



"The system's judgment isn't always accurate. Perhaps someone wants to deliberately create a false personality to deceive the Citizen Information System," Han Fei, not very knowledgeable about technology, felt that human nature was more complex and dangerous than cold machinery. "For example, Meng Changan. If he intentionally left false information online for the past ten years and lived behind a mask, is it possible to deceive the Citizen Information System?"



"You seem to be particularly interested in Meng Changan?" Li Xue stared at Han Fei for a while before answering his question. "In theory, such a possibility exists, which is why the personality models given by the Citizen Information System are mostly used as a reference."



"Yes, when you go back, pay close attention to Meng Changan. There is something seriously wrong with that person." Han Fei's tone was extremely certain. Although Li Xue didn't know where Han Fei's confidence came from, she decided to trust him because everything this comedian had said before had come true.



For the police, focusing on a person was not simply about gathering information but also about comprehensive monitoring and detailed investigations. They could even determine what someone did and how long it took, based on the scene. However, such actions required a significant allocation of manpower and resources.



"Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with my professor." Li Xue was about to leave when Han Fei stopped her. "Do you have anything else?"



"After hearing everything you said, I'm starting to feel a bit anxious. That psychopathic killer might find me, so I want to enhance my self-defence abilities as much as possible." Han Fei expressed his thoughts in a roundabout way. "Can you teach me some truly useful combat skills?"



Han Fei wanted to learn these skills not only for self-defence but also to have some self-protection in the game.



"Are you asking a police officer to teach you how to fight?" Li Xue looked surprised by Han Fei's request. "This is the first time I've heard such a strange request."



"Your colleagues say you're good at fighting. Please."



"Alright." Li Xue glanced at the time on her phone, then took Han Fei to the rooftop of the apartment building. "I'll teach you because your current situation is indeed dangerous. And technically, it doesn't violate any regulations, right?"



Li Xue said these words more to convince herself.



"Of course, you're protecting the lives and safety of citizens."



"Then let's not waste time. Before learning basic combat skills, I'll first explain the anatomical principles of the seven major joints in the human body and all the vital parts of the body..."



Li Xue briefly explained, but Han Fei had already memorized everything. His memory was astonishing.



"Most people, when facing a criminal, tend to focus more on defensive actions than offensive ones. Although it's understandable, it can affect your movements. So, the first thing you need to overcome is your own mindset and be willing to attack."



"Don't worry, with my current mental state, I probably won't be afraid of any criminals I encounter."



"Not being afraid is the foundation, but the next step is to maintain rationality. Make the most reasonable judgment based on the scene..."



Li Xue taught Han Fei some grappling and combat techniques on the rooftop. These techniques were different from flashy moves, but they were practical and effective.



After just half an hour of teaching, Li Xue was amazed by Han Fei's learning ability and physical fitness. "Did you used to be an action actor? I've only taught you the basics, but I feel like an average police officer would probably be taken down by you under surprise."



"No, not at all." Han Fei looked at his hands, realizing that his agility and reaction speed had greatly improved. "I just do actor's physical training every day."
