A Painting of Flesh and Blood

With Carly and James leading the way, the group quickly went upstairs to the conference room.

The experts naturally followed suit. They wanted to see what this young man was going to do.

More than a dozen people came to the conference room.

Carly operated the projector. She connected the computer to play the video.

Daniel sat in the front seat and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the criminal investigation experts were sitting in front of him, looking like they were about to start a fight.

The video was quickly projected onto the big screen. More than a dozen videos appeared.

These were all videos taken by different surveillance cameras on the day of the murder.

"Play all the videos."

Daniel said to Carly who was operating the device.

"Play them all at the same time?"

Carly asked.

"This is a timeline. Only by figuring out a timeline can we find the culprit's pattern in committing crimes."

Grey explained.

"Do you treat people like machines? Who can do that!"

The criminal investigation expert scoffed and looked at Daniel's team from the corner of his eyes. It was as if he was watching a child playing a prank.

At this moment, the videos on the screen started to play.

Daniel's relaxed gaze suddenly became serious. It was as if countless fragments flashed past his eyes.

In Daniel's mind, the originally chaotic videos kept rearranging, combining, and streamlined into a complete timeline. At the same time, he was giving orders.

"Move the third video to the seventh video.

"Move the first video to the fifth video.

"Move the thirteenth video to the second video."

...

Carly followed Daniel's instructions and constantly reposition the videos.

"Are you really solving a case as a game? What can you find by doing this?"

Bob immediately criticized. He had never seen such a way of solving a case. Not only was it not scientific, but it seemed immature.

"This isn't the place for you to show off. Don't come here and cause trouble!"

The old criminal investigation expert beside Bob echoed.

Soon, the criminal investigation experts' eyes turned from disdain to shock.

The originally chaotic video on the screen slowly became clear.

Daniel's arrangement also became faster.

Half an hour later, more than 20 videos were displayed in front of the criminal investigation experts.

The explanation that followed greatly exceeded their understanding.

Daniel pointed at the screen and analyzed the video to everyone.

"The sprinkler truck was waiting at the traffic lights.

"Here, a truck full of goods has appeared.

"A young man riding a bicycle and an old man reading a newspaper.

"A minute later, Ian, who was driving a sports car appeared.

"These factors were combined to form this incident."

Daniel said seriously.

"But what does this mean? Are our daily accidents and coincidences all man-made?"

Bob immediately retorted. He felt that this young man was completely out of his mind.

"Here, Lott placed a pencil."

Daniel pointed at Lott in the third video and replied.

"The pencil placed here was sprayed by the sprinkler and fell to the ground, causing this incident.

"It was the placement of the pencil. Such a small action had triggered the chain of events that led to the later coincidences.

"Lott has a very powerful insight and terrifying computational ability. He has summed up all the factors and calculated..."

Daniel continued.

"He only needs to change the rules of this world to trigger a series of chain reactions to achieve his goal."

As Daniel spoke, he held the remote control and circled the important elements in the video.

Not only did Daniel replay the cause and effect of each element, but he also calculated the timeline on events that were not affected by the chain reactions.

Only then did Bob and the other forensic experts react.

This logical reasoning was so meticulous and true! This made them speechless.

...

In the middle of the room.

A dozen forensic experts raised their heads and slowly swept their eyes across the videos.

Their expressions kept changing and their faces were red as if they were sick.

Daniel first deconstructed all the coincidences into a logical chain of event step by step. Then, he reassembled them into a new timeline.

This terrifying analytical ability had conquered these experts in an instant.

Daniel looked at the enthusiastic gazes of the people around him.

"This is nothing at all.

"This is just an open-book exam."

Daniel said humbly.

"The real experts are people like Lott who created the exam questions."

Putting down the remote control in his hand, Daniel said indifferently.

All the experts present looked at the formulas on the screen with complicated expressions.

They sized up this young man once again.

The languid temperament at the beginning was just a disguise. When Daniel became serious, he would explode with confidence. It was a temperament that could only be obtained when he was extremely confident in himself.

Bob thought to himself.

"Such a person must've quite the ability to repeat Lott's coincidence..."

All the experts' hearts were filled with shock and submission like Bob's.

The director sneered at the side.

They had no idea that Daniel had experience and status in the Special Task Force.

It just so happened that the old men were becoming more difficult to manage.

It would be better to let this "god" surprise them.

The director's mind was racing.

James and Carly were equally shocked.

James was keenly aware, though, that Daniel had expressed his approval of Lott's plan.

However, Daniel's "affirmation" was from a higher-level perspective. It was as if Lott's actions were just some interesting "tricks" for him.

James became very interested in Daniel and his two interns.

Why did the FBI have a Special Task Force and what was this department used for...

James felt that these people were full of secrets.

Daniel saw that everyone was silent. His aura returned to the languid state he had when he first met them.

"I know what you're worried about. Lott will appear again soon."

Daniel asked the intern behind him, Gwen, who had been carrying a computer and silent all this time, to take out the computer.

The intern named Gwen immediately connected his computer to the police network.

Within a minute, Daniel had gained access to the police station.

All of this did not trigger the alarm system.

At this moment, all the surveillance cameras in Chicago were displayed on the projected screen.

It was densely packed that it was impossible to see anything.

James looked at the thousands of cameras on the screen. His mind seemed to be a little lacking. He did not know what the other party was trying to do.

"Gwen, line 14, bring up the seventh camera."

Soon, the intern cut the surveillance camera to the big screen.

What came into view was an image made of flesh and blood.
