[Alright, time is running out. I hope you find this person soon. Finally, I want to say that a paradise is beautiful, but if the person who owns it has evil intentions, it will only become a new hell. Only in the right hands can it realize its greatest value, making this world a paradise everywhere.]
That's all for today's video, goodbye.
As darkness fell, just like last time, many small screens appeared in front of people.
Some people liked the video, while others were dissatisfied with its short length and vague descriptions, and disliked it.
Those in the know already knew that if they clicked "dislike," they would never be able to see the Sky Screen again, so they all liked and sent flowers.
Inside a conference room, the Sky Screen Research Group immediately projected the two videos, magnifying the key images.
"The key point is this statue. There are currently four statues in this acid-resistant city: one on top of what appears to be a water tower, one at the entrance to the ranch, one in the center of the park, and one at what appears to be the main gate of the administrative building."
One person pointed to four enlarged images on the screen, with the statue portion being particularly magnified. After processing, the images were very clear.
Therefore, it can be seen that the four statues are not quite the same size.
One person said, "These statues are all different heights and builds. The one at the top of the water tower is the shortest and the fattest, but by the time you reach the entrance of the administration building, it's already quite tall and cool. Does that mean each statue represents a different person?"
Another person objected, saying, "Look closely, their postures are all the same. If they were different people, they shouldn't have the same postures. Instead, they should have different poses and shapes to make them easy to distinguish."
"So these are different periods of the same person, just getting thinner and taller?"
"Can you decipher the inscription beneath the statue?"
"No, it's too blurry. You can only vaguely make out a name. It's a three-character Chinese character. The first two characters are relatively simple, but the third character has more strokes."
"There are countless names across the country that meet this criterion."
The meeting room door was suddenly opened, and several leaders walked in.
People stood up.
"Sit down." The leader at the front looked at the screen and asked, "What if we narrow the scope to City A?"
The person presiding over the meeting nodded. "We are also matching the household registration database of City A. All names that meet the preliminary criteria will be blurred and compared."
The leader asked, "What kind of person do you think we're looking for?"
One person said, "On the surface, he should be a very capable person, but I noticed that when Wei Zi mentioned this person, her tone was more dismissive than at other times. This is a negative and indifferent attitude, which means that Wei Zi does not think highly of this person."
"Moreover, when mentioning this person, several words were used: 'not very honorable means,' 'likes to stare at beautiful women,''success comes from the opposite sex,' and 'malicious.' The city was previously called a paradise, but in the end it was described as a 'new hell.'"
"Based on these observations, I believe that, at least in Wei Zi's eyes, he is not a good person, and may even be a villain who will turn the paradise into a 'new hell'."
The leader nodded, then looked at the others and asked, "You all think so too?"
The others hesitated and said, "Our current information is too limited. If we analyze it from Wei Zi's perspective, that's true. But we still don't know who Wei Zi is or where she comes from, so we can't make a very objective judgment."
One person suggested, "I recommend starting with men who have many female friends."
"If we can accumulate enough capital to build a city in just one month, perhaps we can start by targeting wealthy men."
Everyone shared their opinions, except for one person who kept his head down, studying the video repeatedly without saying a word.
When the leader saw him, he asked, "Peng Lan, what do you think?"
The man named Peng Lan raised his head. He had a very handsome face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses that concealed his overly beautiful eyes.
He said, "I suggest we check the buildings within the frame at the beginning of the first video of the sky screen."
Everyone was taken aback. The leader said, "Play it and let's see."
The first video appeared on the screen.
At the time, no one was prepared for the strange phenomenon to suddenly appear in the sky, and no one captured the first few seconds of the video. The most complete video available now starts directly from a close-up shot that zooms in on the distant view.
Where in City A is this?
"It's a commercial area next to Qihe Plaza in the city center. In the picture, the left side of the street is full of newly opened shops, and the right side is office buildings."
The leader asked Peng Lan, "You mean, investigate all these places?"
Peng Lan nodded. "Check who frequents this place, the permanent residents, and who was in these places three days ago, at the moment the sky appeared. Check all of that."
A glint of surprise flashed in the leader's eyes. "Reason?"
Peng Lan succinctly stated, "This is the place where the camera is closest and the pixels are clearest."
After some thought, everyone realized that the image was only clear when it showed the scenery of City A.
However, the image immediately becomes blurry whenever content outside of City A appears.
They assumed it was because the canopy had appeared in City A.
But from this perspective, isn't the clearest part of the image also the most unique?
At this moment, they were unaware that City A was special because the protagonist of this novel world, Shi Feizhai, lived in City A, and the starting point of the Sky Screen Video was indeed the restaurant where Shi Feizhai was at that time.
Even Wei Yuexin herself was unaware of this.
When she was making the video, she just felt that this close-up-to-far shot was perfect for editing as the opening of her video.
In the darkness, the most important clue had already been laid out before them.
The leader gave the order: "Go investigate."
The incident from three days ago is not difficult to investigate, and the city's surveillance cameras have not been completely destroyed by acid rain, so once the footage is reviewed, everything will be clear.
Soon, a list of residents, employees, and people who had been in the area three days earlier at noon was compiled.
Among them, Shi Feizhai's name attracted people's attention.
After blurring the name, it almost perfectly overlaps with the name of the statue.
The Sky Curtain research team was immediately excited.
Go find this Shi Feizhai immediately.
Then they discovered that the person was in a detention center.
The reason was that he used a sedative with the intention of taking advantage of a woman, but accidentally injured a female security guard!
In terms of relationships with the opposite sex, we've managed to find someone to match with to some extent!
So, Shi Feizhai, who was muttering complaints about the dating system in the detention center, was taken in for questioning.
Shi Feizhai panicked. "System, it's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been arrested! What do I do now? What am I supposed to say when they ask me questions?"
The system said, "Host, just insist that you don't know anything. You don't have any sleeping pills on you. If it weren't for the tense situation and the fact that no one is paying attention to you, you would have been released long ago."
Shi Feizhai was calmed down, but as soon as he saw the stern-faced security guard, his legs trembled and he felt flustered and short of breath.
"Name."
"Shi Feizhai".
"age."
30.
"Three days ago, on the evening of September 21st at 8 PM, in the city park, did you attempt to use illegal drugs on a woman?"
Shi Feizhai cried out in panic, "No, I don't know anything! I have nothing on me, you can check!"
The security guard's face darkened, and he shouted, "Please answer yes or no."
Shi Feizhai hurriedly answered no, but his eyes darted left and right and his fingers fidgeted, clearly indicating that he had something to hide.
In one of the conversation rooms, Jiang Ying was also being questioned.
Knowing that this matter was extremely important, even related to whether or not they could find the mysterious person behind that paradise, she disregarded her shame and clearly recounted her feelings that day.
Peng Lan listened to her silently the whole time, and after she finished, she suddenly asked sharply, "You felt that you fell in love with him at that moment, right?"
Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, looked at the person, and was taken aback by his outstanding appearance. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If that's the case, it seems that's true, but this feeling will disappear after a day."
Peng Lan: "What are your criteria for choosing a partner?"
"ah?"
"What I mean is, would you fall for someone like Shi Feizhai to the point of love at first sight?"
Jiang Ying's face flushed red instantly, and she immediately said, "Of course not! Putting aside his appearance, I first saw him sleazy as he approached a girl. How could I possibly fall in love at first sight under those circumstances!"
Peng Lan nodded. "I apologize for being so forward. The clues you provided were very helpful to us. There are a few more things we need your cooperation with."
Jiang Ying quickly sat up straight. "Okay, what do you need me to do?"
A moment later, Jiang Ying walked out of the room absentmindedly, while Peng Lan remained seated, and another document was delivered to her.
"This is Zhao Pingping's statement, which contains what Shi Feizhai and she said at the time. And this is Shi Feizhai's file."
"He was unemployed for the first half of the year and stayed at home playing video games. About a week ago, he suddenly started frequently trying to chat up girls. After failing every time, he gave all his savings to an agency, asking them to introduce him to a 'beautiful and elegant high-quality woman.' The agency thought he was being delusional, but wanted to make money from it, so they introduced him to Zhao Pingping."
After reviewing all the information, Peng Lan frowned, a cold glint flashing in her glasses. "An unemployed, stingy, and lazy guy suddenly took all his savings to go on a blind date. Moreover, he was very confident in his future success and inexplicably gained the ability to make a well-trained female security guard fall in love with him at first sight."
He pointed to the documents and said, "I think we've found the person we're looking for."
But this person is far too unexpected.
Could such a person really build a paradise like the one in the video?
Yes, the video says his success is entirely due to women. Does this so-called "relying on women" mean making women fall in love with him?
No wonder Wei Zi looked down on him so much.
Peng Lan: "Are you sure Shi Feizhai doesn't know the content of the second video screen?"
"He was detained in a place where he couldn't see or hear the outside world. We tested him during the interrogation just now, and he really didn't know anything."
"Alright, let's proceed according to plan. Remember to protect our female comrades."
So, after undergoing a series of physical examinations to confirm that he had not been exposed to drugs, Shi Feizhai was finally released.
Upon gaining his freedom, Shi Feizhai almost burst into tears.
"System, what should we do next?"
The "picking up girls" system is about finding women to complete tasks and earn materials.
Just as the system finished speaking, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in front of them.
Jiang Ying, dressed in a pretty dress, wearing light makeup, and carrying a delicate little bag, looked at Shi Feizhai apologetically, "Um, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and caused you to be locked up for several days. Let me treat you to a meal."
Shi Feizhai stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, drool practically dripping down his face. "System! System! No need to search anymore, isn't this the one right here!"
