Fu Mengshan said, "Then let Young Chen bring you there. The corpse is in their courtyard."
Chu Li turned his head and fist saluted. "Centurion Chen, thank you."
Chen Donghai looked at him coldly. "I've seen the corpse. There are no clues left. Do you think you can conjure something?"
Chu Li smiled. "Everyone has different eyesight. Centurion Chen, you can't do it, but that doesn't mean I can't either. I'll have to see for myself."
Chen Donghai scoffed. "Alright, then I'd like to see what the famous Head Chief Chu is capable of. Let's go!"
"Both of you!" Fu Mengshan said impatiently. "Enough is enough. Don't forget the house's rules. If you really cause trouble, no one will have it easy!"
Chu Li smiled. "Centurion, don't worry. We'll just argue."
He glanced at Chen Donghai, shook his head, and walked out of the hall.
Chen Donghai was extremely annoyed by his gaze. He scoffed coldly. "Commander, it's better to get rid of such an arrogant fellow!"
"If you have his ability, I'll definitely get rid of him!" Fu Mengshan waved his hand. "In the Secret Guardians Hall, those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted. Don't forget about the three-day limit. If you really can't catch the murderer, you can forget about being a centurion!"
"Yes!" Chen Donghai scoffed and turned to leave in large strides.
He could feel the Commander's favoritism towards Chu Li and knew the reason.
This person with the surname Chu was indeed more capable than others. They were all professionals and knew how difficult the cases that Chu Li had solved were.
However, his position as the leader of Mei Yi Courtyard could not be shaken. He had to risk his life and think of a way to firmly suppress Mei Er Courtyard!
When he came out of the hall, Chu Li was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the surrounding scenery.
He glared at Chu Li, feeling that he was an eyesore.
It was fine to wait for someone, but he still put on such a leisurely look. It was awkward no matter how one looked at it.
"Follow me!" Chen Donghai scoffed.
Chu Li walked beside him and said calmly, "Centurion Chen, are you confident? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to complete the three-day limit?"
"Why not?" Chen Donghai glared at him.
Chu Li said, "Can you catch the murderer?"
"He's a murderer, after all. We can always catch him if we want to," Chen Donghai scoffed.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "You dare to do that?"
Chen Donghai asked, "Why not?"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Something will happen sooner or later."
"Hmph, what happened?" Chen Donghai sneered and said, "You're still very inexperienced. Don't think that you can run amok in the world just because you have some skills. You're so arrogant that you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You'll have to go deeper and slowly learn!"
Chu Li frowned. "You're saying that the Commander actually knew about it, but he pretended not to know."
"Hmph, what do you think?" Chen Donghai casually snapped off a plum branch that had reached the roadside and crushed it into a ball of powder. He opened his hand to let the powder float away as he curled his lips and said, "He only needs to pretend to be confused. If something really happens, he can just push the blame onto me, and I'll push the blame onto my subordinates. It's not a serious crime for a secret guardian to handle a wrong case. At most, he'll be transferred to another place, and he'll be transferred back after a while!"
Chu Li shook his head and said, "What an eye-opener!"
"You should know that it's impossible to solve so many cases." Chen Donghai scoffed and said, "As long as you don't wrongly accuse the innocent. Those scapegoats deserved to die, they didn't die unjustly at all!"
Chu Li shook his head.
Chen Donghai suddenly stopped and glared at him fiercely. "Do you understand now? So what if it's a three-day agreement? Do you really think you can hold me?!"
Chu Li smiled at him and shook his head.
Chen Donghai felt like he had punched a soft spot. He snorted and turned around to continue walking.
The two arrived at Mei Yi Courtyard.
This courtyard was similar in size and layout to Mei Er Courtyard, but there were more people inside.
There were only thirteen or fourteen people in Mei Er Courtyard, but there were more than a hundred people in Mei Yi Courtyard. Every room was occupied, which was completely different from Mei Er Courtyard's emptiness.
"Centurion." A white-haired old man greeted him. "How is it?"
"Here, do you recognize this person?" Chen Donghai pointed at Chu Li. "Centurion Chu, bring him to Imperial Crown Prince Shan's protector!"
"Yes." The old man smiled and said, "Centurion Chu, I'm Zhu Fan. Please follow me."
Chen Donghai turned around and strode away, leaving Chu Li on the spot.
Chu Li already knew that he would do this. He could not be bothered to get angry. He would just get back at him next time. He gave Zhu Fan a fist salute. "Thank you!"
Zhu Fan chuckled. "You flatter me. Centurion Chu, you're young and handsome. I admire you very much. Centurion Chu, please don't mind him."
"Haha, straightforward …" Chu Li shook his head and laughed. "Lead the way."
Chen Donghai's mind was full of twists and turns. It was completely different from his straightforward personality.
Zhu Fan chuckled and led the way.
—
Chu Li stood in front of the middle-aged protector's corpse and frowned.
There was only a wound on his chest. It seemed like a coincidence that he was killed in one hit.
Chu Li closed his eyes and activated the Nature Restoration Manifestation.
The Omniscient Mirror looked at every inch of the corpse. Bones, muscles, internal organs, limbs, head, hair, and skin. Not a single spot was missed.
These laid a solid foundation for the Nature Restoration Manifestation.
The first difficulty of the Nature Restoration Manifestation was eyesight. The lower the level of the Nature Restoration Manifestation, the weaker the ability of the five senses. The ability to collect information from the outside world would be weaker, and the results of analysis would be less accurate.
Chu Li felt that his Nature Restoration Manifestation was a large-scale information analysis and prediction system. To explain it in terms of knowledge from his past life, his brain was like a supercomputer that could analyze and predict the movements of objects.
The Omniscient Mirror was the best information collection system. The more accurate the data, the more accurate the analysis and prediction results.
His newly acknowledged master, Shen Xu, did not have the Omniscient Mirror, so the power of the Nature Restoration Manifestation was very weak. The difference in power between the two was like heaven and earth. It was no wonder that the Nature Restoration Peak was declining. The requirements for cultivators were too high.
"Centurion Chu?" Zhu Fan called out carefully.
Judging from Chu Li's appearance, he seemed to have fallen asleep. He was dozing off beside a corpse. Indeed, geniuses all had unusual behaviors and quirks.
Chu Li opened his eyes. His gaze was bright and threatening, but it slowly faded away.
He furrowed his brows.
"Mm, let's go." Chu Li turned and walked out. "Thank you very much!"
"You flatter me." Zhu Fan hurriedly said, "Centurion Chu, did you see anything?"
Chu Li nodded. "I learned something."
"What?" Zhu Fan asked.
Chu Li turned his head to look at him with a faint smile.
Zhu Fan hurriedly smiled and said embarrassedly, "Look at me, I'm too impatient. I can't wait to catch the murderer!"
Chu Li said, "Go back and thank Centurion Chen for me. There's no need to send me off!"
"I'll send you off," Zhu Fan hurriedly said.
Chu Li did not say anything else and strode out.
—
After Zhu Fan sent Chu Li off, he hurriedly returned to the main hall and fist saluted. "Centurion, he's gone."
Chen Donghai sat in the armchair and put down his teacup. He lazily scoffed. "How was it?"
"He seems to have found some clues," Zhu Fan said.
Chen Donghai frowned. "Can he really find anything?"
Zhu Fan said, "He couldn't see anything from that punch. Is his eyesight that good?"
