I just became Superman, and the American evil god's experiment was exposed.

Chen Ze didn't rush back to school. He left the commercial street and then turned back.

Sure enough, someone called the police, and the police have successfully located the unconscious people.

After the commanding officer put the people into the ambulance, he led his men to search the scene.

The alley was packed with people, mostly there to see what was going on.

"Everyone, disperse, there's nothing to see here." One of the police officers began to disperse the onlookers to prevent them from disturbing the scene.

People stepped back, and the police officers took the opportunity to pull up the cordon to protect the scene.

Chen Ze stood at the back of the crowd, quietly watching the police officers investigate the scene.

When people saw so many police officers arrive, they didn't leave. Instead, they gathered around the cordon and whispered among themselves.

"What happened?"

"It looks like there was a fight going on here just now."

"Was anyone killed?"

"no."

"Those people who were put into the ambulance don't seem like good people."

"That's right, they found a lot of cell phones on them, all of them stolen."

"So, someone did a heroic act and took down these thieves?"

"Yes."

"Wow, who's so powerful?"

Chen Ze hid in the crowd, observing the police officers' every move through the gaps in the people.

His return was certainly not because criminal suspects always return to the scene.

The main objectives are twofold: first, to ensure that the police cannot find any trace of themselves; and second, to be aware of any clues they might find so that they can take appropriate action.

To his surprise, the officer in the lead also had a pink tag above his head.

Looking at the [Reconnaissance] device hovering above the other party's head, Chen Ze felt a slight pang of discomfort.

Such an enticing attribute is right in front of you, granting you four enhancement points, yet reason tells you that this attribute is currently unobtainable. How can this not be frustrating?

"Xiao Li, how's the fingerprint collection going?"

The lead officer approached a police officer who was holding half a steel bar, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Captain Wang, I've examined all these instruments. There are signs of deliberate erasure on them, probably because they didn't want us to trace it back to him."

"What kind of person do you think would do something like this?"

There are two possibilities.

The officer surnamed Wang asked, "Which two?"

"The first possibility is retaliation from competitors. I checked the itinerary of this group. They just arrived in Xinjiang City not long ago. They are considered outsiders. Their crimes here will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some local criminal gangs."

The officer surnamed Wang pondered for a moment, then nodded. "That's certainly one possibility. What about the second one?"

The officer carefully picked up the half brick from the ground, which still had a trace of blood on it.

"Judging from the injuries of the group, there are many suspicious points, especially the leader. His shinbone was broken by a brick, which means that he was abused before he lost consciousness. The other party may have wanted to get something out of him."

The officer surnamed Wang narrowed his eyes. "You mean... this case isn't as simple as it seems, and it could very well lead to a much larger case?"

"That's right. And the fact that the other party erased his traces so thoroughly means that either he is involved in a bigger crime, or he has a secret he can't reveal, so he can't expose himself."

"Yes, that's what I think too." The officer surnamed Wang nodded, fully agreeing with the analysis.

Because if it were just competition among peers, the traces left behind wouldn't be so clean. Based on the information they currently have about several theft gangs, they wouldn't be able to achieve such professional trace removal.

Moreover, if it were truly competition among peers, there would be no need to hand these people over to the police. Once they wake up and tell the truth, they won't be able to escape either.

This does not conform to the operating logic of competitors.

Despite the noisy crowd, Chen Ze could still clearly hear their conversation, which made him shudder.

Sure enough, those who have pink tags are no pushovers.

Even though I've erased all traces so thoroughly, the other party still guessed pretty accurately. It seems I need to be more careful in the future.

At that moment, a policewoman walked up to Officer Wang with a document in her hand.

"Captain Wang, the injury assessment results are in."

"Let me see." The officer surnamed Wang took the documents and began to examine them carefully.

A police officer named Xiao Li also joined in.

One minute later.

"Xiao Li, what do you think?"

Xiao Li's expression was somewhat solemn, and there was even a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Based on these initial assessments of the injuries, it appears that all of these people were injured by one person, and with their bare hands at that. As far as I know, even the best fighter in our station wouldn't dare claim to have subdued six armed assailants with his bare hands, would they?"

The officer surnamed Wang nodded slightly. "If these people aren't completely stupid, it's not something an ordinary person can do to subdue them all with their bare hands. This person is no ordinary individual."

Xiao Li couldn't help but ask, "Captain Wang, the theft case is basically settled now. As for who injured them, should we continue investigating?"

The policewoman chuckled. "You're new here, haven't heard of our Captain Wang's nickname yet?"

"Captain Wang has a nickname?" Officer Li couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The investigation continues."

"Okay, I understand."

"Have you found the surveillance footage yet?"

"I've already had my colleagues in the technical department send it over."

Listening to their conversation, Chen Ze felt quite helpless. Is the efficiency of handling cases really this high now?

A short while later.

The officer surnamed Wang took out his phone and watched the surveillance video he had just received.

By reviewing surveillance footage, the technical department successfully identified the suspects entering and exiting the alley. After eliminating some elderly people who were out buying groceries, and combining this with the entry times of the victims, they successfully identified a person wearing an Iron Man mask.

"Did they get a clear shot of her face?"

"No, he has a strong sense of counter-surveillance. He wore a mask the entire time he appeared on camera."

"Wait, the technical department has already sent over the preliminary information on the suspect."

The officer surnamed Wang opened an electronic document sent to him in the group chat.

At 10:00 AM on April 24, 2026, a brawl occurred in Qinghe Lane:

Analysis of physical characteristics of the suspect in the video:

1. The man is an adult male, approximately 170cm-173cm tall, of medium build, with short hair. He wore an Iron Man mask during the crime to deliberately cover his face, demonstrating a strong awareness of counter-surveillance.

He wore a dark, loose-fitting jacket on top, dark trousers on the bottom, and black sneakers on his feet.

2. Behavioral and physical characteristics: walking frequency is relatively fast, gait is regular, and turning and stepping movements are clean and neat, indicating professional training.

He was very cautious in observing his surroundings, frequently glancing around at people and surveillance cameras, suggesting he might have some experience in committing crimes.

3. The perpetrator followed the six victims alone, and after confirming that no one was around and that they were not paying attention, quickly followed them to a dark alley in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras to commit the crime.

After reviewing the documents, especially considering the other party's attire, Officer Wang subconsciously glanced at the crowd of onlookers.
