Although this place was still on the screen, there was still no one there, but according to the morning light, it was indeed early in the morning.
“I don’t need to look at the past second by second. I can just fast forward five seconds to save time and make sure I don’t miss Little Rui,” Su Jing thought, and the screen immediately fast-forwarded. After a few attempts, he became proficient at using the fast-forward function.
Then, he made the bronze mirror’s fast-forward function advance at a very exaggerated speed.
“Stop.” Su Jing’s heart moved and the bronze mirror stopped fast-forwarding. In the picture, Xiao Rui, covered in sweat, was running along the path toward the hotel, obviously having finished exercising.
A van parked next to him suddenly opened, and several masked men ran out. They rushed up from behind Xiao Rui… At that moment, the screen disappeared, Su Jing’s True Qi was exhausted, and the ten seconds had run out.
However, he was not in a hurry. He used the Spring Leaf Secret Art to absorb the Green Wood True Qi of the big tree next to him, allowing him to recover. Then, he used the bronze mirror again. Since he had confirmed the time, he could directly switch to that time point.
In the picture, Su Jing saw a few masked men rushing up to Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui heard the footsteps and turned his head to look, but it was too late. He was grabbed by a cloth and had his mouth covered by someone else, while his hands and feet were restrained.
During the struggle, Xiao Rui touched the nearby tree and rolled on the ground, but the cloth strip covering his mouth was obviously drugged. He quickly lost consciousness and was carried into the car.
In the end, it all happened in just a few seconds, and there were few people walking on this section of the road, so no one noticed.
At this moment, Su Jing finally understood the original process and saw the direction the van left in the end.
However, it was still difficult to track just like this. It was impossible for him to follow the direction of the van and use the bronze mirror to track it all the way, otherwise, he would be exhausted.
He was not an immortal cultivator from The Immortal Gourd Universe with an endless supply of True Qi that he could use casually.
Su Jing pondered for a moment, looked down at the intact undershirt on the ground, and felt moved. He said to the mouse that had brought back the cloth strip first, “Take me to the place where you found the cloth piece.”
At this time, Mao Jingyu, who had been summoned by Su Jing to check the nearby area, also returned. Naturally, he had not found any clues. Su Jing didn’t explain, and this time he didn’t take him along. Instead, he followed the mouse away alone.
“What is he investigating? Or should I just call the police?” Mao Jingyu watched Su Jing’s departing back and felt uncertain. He looked left and right, wondering what Su Jing could really investigate.
Su Jing was known as a god-man, but was that just a false name and exaggeration? After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn’t help it and took out his phone to call the police.
Su Jing followed the mouse to an alley a few kilometers away. The mouse stopped and pointed to the corner of the wall, making a series of squeaks to indicate that the cloth strip was found there.
Su Jing took out the bronze mirror and checked the playback time. This time it was much easier than before because he already knew when Xiao Rui was arrested, and only needed to adjust the time for a short period.
As Su Jing watched, a young man appeared on the screen of the bronze mirror. He took out a piece of sweatshirt from his pocket, threw it in the corner, and then walked away.

Su Jing noticed that the man was not wearing a mask, and realized that he must be going to various locations to leave pieces of his undershirt behind. Wearing a mask would likely draw attention, so he likely felt that it was unnecessary.
Su Jing surmised that the man did not expect anyone to be able to replay the events and see his face, even if he was caught in the act.
“Finally found an important clue.” After discovering the young man on the screen of the bronze mirror, Su Jing took a picture of his face with his mobile phone.
He then made a call to Su Ti and Luo Qilin to inform them of the important clue and ask them to begin their investigation.
…
Everything became much easier after knowing the face of the assailant. With the help of Su Ti, a skilled hacker, and Luo Qilin, a user of the Lightning Stand Ability, the investigation is able to delve deeply into the case.
They have free access to the police station and police system and are able to easily identify the kidnapper.
Su Ti conducts a further investigation and narrows down the search to a specific area, while Luo Qilin uses his lightning stand to search a wide area, including surveillance footage and secret rooms.
They are able to cover many places, even those without power.
Even if the police are able to identify a suspect and have gathered a variety of clues, it still takes time for them to fully investigate and bring the case to a close.
In contrast, Luo Qilin was able to locate the person in question within a day and take action to rescue them, as instructed by Su Jing. It’s clear that the speed at which Luo Qilin is able to operate far surpasses that of the police force in Zhongyun City.
In the basement, Xiao Rui was unconscious and lying on a bed. A group of men were counting and dividing up a large sum of money, their faces showing a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Some of them seemed particularly anxious, despite the overall atmosphere of celebration.
“Wow, we really hit the jackpot this time,” One of the men said.
“Who would have thought that his blood would be worth so much?” Another person said.
“It takes guts to make a fortune like this. Good job, everyone,” A third man spoke.
“We’ve already drawn his blood and sold off all kinds of physical examination materials, but shouldn’t we just forget about it? This Xiao Rui is Su Jing’s college roommate, it could be dangerous for us if he comes looking for him,” Another man said, sounding concerned.
