Big Data Cultivation

Dan Benxin, alias Yamamoto Shushin, a citizen of Mai Nation originally from Fukushima Prefecture, thirty-six years old.

Feng Jun had already obtained information about this person. Initially, he didn't want to reveal it, but considering how easily this person could enter the Rehabilitation Center, like it was his own home, he realized there must be an internal accomplice — someone very familiar with the center.

So he felt he should ask, just in case Director Ren knew about it.

As expected, Ren Zhiyuan shook his head, "I really don't know this person... Should I ask someone else?"

"Never mind," Feng Jun waved his hand, "The probability that the person gathering information and the one committing the theft are the same is very low."

While talking, he began swiping on his mobile phone again.

Gao Qiang knew that when Elder Feng used his phone at this time, he definitely wasn't browsing social media platforms or shopping apps. He suspected that it might even be a mystical technique.

Using a mobile phone for mystical techniques was quite a challenge to his worldview, but ever since he started Cultivation, his worldview had been mostly shattered — who said that the Cultivation Path couldn't keep up with the times?

While they were talking here, some people outside were listening. Some people had been stationed at the gate of the Rehabilitation Center for several months, installing various listening devices nearby.

Spying on Luohua was not easy. Feng Jun was difficult to deal with, and once discovered, it was challenging to handle the situation. Besides, Luohua was too large; no matter how good the listening equipment was, it couldn't eavesdrop from five or six miles away — even the sound of dew rolling could severely affect the sound quality.

But spying on the Rehabilitation Center was simple. It's not even a hundred acres in size, so the specific eavesdropping methods were not worth mentioning.

"Dan Benxin?" Someone muttered quietly, "Could he be an intelligence spy or a commercial spy?"

"Call the gatekeeper and ask," someone suggested, "See if they need police dogs? We can coordinate."

The gatekeeper knew what these people were doing and didn't want to contact such people from the bottom of his heart. After receiving the call, he said, "Let's forget about it, the boss seems to have some leads."

"We're not negotiating with you; we're informing you," the attitude over here was indeed not very good, "Report to your boss. Many of our people received treatment there previously; the other party may have noticed the Rehabilitation Center because of it."

This reason was indeed plausible. They had the right to intervene in this matter. The gatekeeper found it difficult to refuse and could only say, "I'll report to Director Ren. Whether or not he agrees, it's not my concern."

However, at this moment, someone over here exclaimed, "Oh, Feng Jun has left the Rehabilitation Center... so fast!"

Feng Jun used Time Rewind to determine Yamamoto Shushin's identity. He then locked onto the location Yamamoto Shushin was at the time and successfully captured the "aura of that place then," storing it in the database.

To put it simply, it's not much different from the role of a police dog, except he can capture the aura of the time, while police dogs capture the aura of when they arrive.

Of course, comparing a transcendent person to a dog is a bit disrespectful, and capturing the aura doesn't mean Feng Jun will rely solely on this aura — unsurprisingly, the other party would also guard against being traced by police dogs, right?

He used Time Rewind once more, setting the time to two minutes after the incident, then made the aura a variable and searched for the "X aura nearby," discovering that the aura appeared about four hundred meters away.

Then he used Time Rewind again, the time was three minutes after the incident, and he found the aura eight hundred meters away — while his live search range was one hundred twenty meters, he could search for minerals or auras at a distance of up to one thousand two hundred meters.

When he rewound time to four minutes later and discovered the aura was gone, he just didn't believe that in this pitch-black, uneven place, the other party could have fled beyond one thousand two hundred meters.

So his choice was to... head to eight hundred meters away first, and then repeatedly use Time Rewind.

So Feng Jun opened the window and leaped away directly, leaving a group of people looking at Gao Qiang apprehensively, with Ren Zhiyuan voicing the question, "Brother Qiang, should we follow him?"

"You following would mess things up," Gao Qiang refused bluntly, "You won't be able to keep up with the boss. I'll go..."

As he was speaking, there was a commotion at the door. Ren Zhiyuan went out to check and found the Luohua people and the Imperial Secret Police arguing.

The first person from Luohua to arrive was Gao Qiang; Gazi, Wang Haifeng, Xu Leigang, and Shen Qingyi, who cultivated in the Bamboo Forest with him, didn't pay much attention to his reaction — Luohua had so many events daily, even emergencies; everyone was used to it.

However, Feng Jun's departure immediately alarmed the people cultivating in the backyard, and Zhang Caixin asked what happened.

On the intercom, Gao Qiang stated that something happened at the Rehabilitation Center, but the boss had already arrived, so everyone could continue their cultivation in peace.

Nevertheless, Gazi felt he had to go take a look to see what was going on. Xu Leigang and Wang Haifeng also wanted to come along, but Gazi said, "Lei Gang, your progress has been slow recently; focus on your cultivation. Haifeng and I will go."

Xu Leigang was not convinced, so the three of them moved out together. Shen Qingyi didn't move; she was responsible for the security of the Spirit Plant Garden and the estate, and she truly did not think she could add anything with Feng Jun already on scene.

As the three passed the villa, Zhang Caixin and Gu Jiahui came out too — Sister Hong and Feng Jing had awkward relationships with Feng Jun; especially Feng Jing, whose mother was still undergoing treatment at the care center, so they stayed behind.

Yu Qingzhu really wants to go out for a bit; she's almost about to fall asleep on the stone table now—lately, she's been in constant body refinement and energy nurturing, also eating a lot of strange herbs. It's really exhausting; however, the improvement in her physical condition is quite evident.

She's sleeping less and less, yet the quality of her sleep is improving—previously, her sleep quality was very poor; the doctor said she had neurasthenia.

It's the middle of the night, and she's still cultivating. This would have been unimaginable before.

However, Zhang Caixin strongly stopped her, saying, "It's been twenty days and you haven't left the mundane state yet. Seriously cultivating is the right path."

The five of them arrived at the gate just as Chen Shengwang was coming out.

Chen Shengwang is actually the closest to the Rehabilitation Center. He also knows that something has happened outside, but it's not in the manor.

The key point is, he's currently with a female companion in a Three Yin Gathering Yang, right at a critical moment, and he can't spare the time.

No matter what, the four men and two women rushed to the Rehabilitation Center and happened to meet the Imperial Secret Police trying to enter the center; they were threatening the guard—"This concerns the Guo family's security. You'd better think it over."

"Who are you talking about?" Gazi directly retorted. He wasn't just blunt; since Brother Jun has been doing well recently, he's also a little arrogant. "How is our Elder Feng threatening the Guo family's security... Are you looking for death?"

The Imperial Secret Police, seeing it was him, frustratedly slapped their foreheads. They've been in Luohua for so long; don't they know the people here? Including Gazi's seven to eight years of epilepsy history—he's just not all there.

If someone else dared to talk like this, they would have been suppressed immediately, without any reason. But they also know this is Master Feng's real childhood friend, someone who's been with the master since they were young, so they can't easily offend.

So they could only say that they were there to help the Rehabilitation Center, which meant helping their Elder Feng. If they're so unclear on who is friend or foe, would it not make the friends grieve and the enemies rejoice?

Gazi doesn't have a very good impression of these people, but he won't hinder anyone from helping Brother Jun, so he glanced at Zhang Caixin—he truly feels that his IQ seems to be lower than Zhang Caixin's.

Zhang Caixin prides herself on being the Second Master of Luohua, so she didn't refuse. She directly asked why did they think they could help Feng Jun?

Over here, they confidently replied that they had researched various crime scene investigations and were willing to help this Rehabilitation Center, so could they take them to have a look... The police dogs have already been contacted.

Zhang Caixin is somewhat reluctant to agree to these people, but the other side mentioned specialization in certain fields, and they also want to solve the case quickly—the key is that these people might not be targeting Luohua but could be after our cancer patients.

So she thought she could bring these people in, but they must accept the security supervision of the Rehabilitation Center.

The two sides agreed, and the security couldn't stop them, so they made a phone call, and a minute later, Ren Zhiyuan came down.

Ren Zhiyuan felt almost the same as Feng Jun; he always feels that these people should be kept at arm's length, but he is not Feng Jun, and if he really wants to hold them off, it seems he would have to pay a price.

Both sides discussed for a while and decided to go to Director Ren's office first to collect some information.

But when they arrived at the office, the Imperial Secret Police were appalled, "You... Who doesn't know to protect the crime scene?"

For ordinary people, the scene didn't seem severely damaged; a few people just came in to check the situation.

But someone in the Imperial Secret Police muttered, "The footprints are badly damaged. With so many people inside, the aura is also heavily disrupted... Even if the police dogs come, they won't be of much use... Don't touch the windowsill!"

The one touching the windowsill was Xu Leigang. Upon hearing this, he turned back and gave a cold smile, "I know better than you what it means to protect the crime scene."

He was born in a military compound, and many soldiers, after demobilization and return to civilian life, go directly to the police station. These tricks, how could they beat him? He's seen pigs run even if he hasn't eaten pork.

In most cases, unless it's a particularly serious case, the clues that can be collected from the scene aren't many—everyone feels they have the awareness to protect the scene, but when something happens to themselves, they always want to go check it out, "Huh, what's going on?"

This unintentional damage causes many valuable clues to vanish.

Of course, when encountering real murder cases and the like, ordinary people tend to stay away, and the evidence at the scene would be better preserved.

Like today's case, the police don't see it as a major case—it's just a thief at home and some things were lost.

Of course, from the perspective of the Imperial Secret Police, it's an enormous case, even bigger than a murder case. There's too much classified stuff involved inside, at least determining where the other party came from to rest assured.

However, what Xu Leigang said wasn't about these matters. He coldly expressed, "I am a soldier, but I'm familiar with police procedures. Protecting the scene is not the point; solving the case relies on investigation."
