Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 127: Path of Revenge (1)

After the death of his mother, Gu Yi spent his childhood at his grandparents' house. His stepfather never once visited him.

Time fast-forwarded by twenty years.

Three options appeared before Gu Yi.

"You can choose one profession to continue the exam, and once chosen, you cannot change your decision."

"1. Assassin."

"2. Police officer."

"3. Soldier."

At this moment, Gu Yi still couldn't use his talents.

Clearly, the aim of this test was to challenge his understanding of morality and the legal system, and there was bound to be bloodshed in this examination.

Being an assassin was the first option Gu Yi discarded. Such a profession couldn't possibly be associated with morality.

Choosing between a police officer and a soldier seemed more rational.

As a police officer, evidence is paramount. Finding evidence for a case that happened twenty years ago in just three days would be extremely challenging.

As a soldier, one could easily access weapons, and their physical fitness and combat skills would be on par with an assassin. However, the discipline of the military might restrain him.

After much thought, Gu Yi made his decision.

"I choose the third option, a soldier."

Gu Yi finally regained his freedom to move. He found himself in a military camp, wearing a training uniform, standing in front of a full-length mirror.

"Begin deduction."

(Deduction begins!)

(You leave the military camp after obtaining leave from your superiors.)

(It takes you half a day to return to your hometown.)

(You prepare to take your revenge, but you find that your stepfather has become a prominent businessman in the village. The other two assailants have been released from prison and are now working in his company.)

(You buy knives from the market and borrow a shotgun from a hunter.)

(As you're preparing for the assassination, your girlfriend confronts you.)

(When she sees your preparations, she immediately tries to dissuade you.)

(Girlfriend: Why are you doing this? He's your father.)

(You: No, he led others to kill my mother years ago. A mother's death is an unforgivable crime.)

(Girlfriend: If you kill him, you'll be sentenced too. Have you thought about us? We're getting married next month.)

(You: I'm sorry, but there are some things I must do.)

(Girlfriend: Please calm down. Your father is not an ordinary person. He's wealthy and has bodyguards with him.)

(You: Don't try to change my mind.)

(You forcefully push your girlfriend away, locking her in your house to prevent her from interfering.)

(The following night, you arrive at your stepfather's residence.)

(You douse the house's exterior with gasoline.)

(Before you can ignite it, the bodyguards rush out.)

(With outstanding skills, you defeat the bodyguards without a scratch.)

(At this moment, alerted by the commotion, your stepfather arrives, pointing a gun at your girlfriend.)

(Stepfather: Ah, my dear son, I should have never shown mercy back then.)

(You: Let go of my girlfriend, you scum.)

(Stepfather: Sorry, I can't do that.)

(Using your girlfriend as a human shield, your stepfather aims his gun at you.)

(You get shot thrice, bleeding profusely.)

(The bodyguards swarm in, including the thug who killed your mother years ago.)

(You are stuffed into a sack and thrown into the river.)

(You drown.)

(The voice of the invigilator resonates in your ears.)

(Invigilator: Bold but reckless, Emotionality: 5 points, Rationality: 1 point.)

(You end the deduction!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes, analyzing the strength and situation of his enemies.

1. The stepfather must have a robust intelligence network. The moment Gu Yi returned home, his stepfather immediately set up defenses, placing numerous bodyguards around his villa.

2. The stepfather has firearms at home, making a blind assassination attempt is likely to fail.

3. The girlfriend is a ticking time bomb. She could be used as a bargaining chip by his stepfather. It's essential to resolve the issue with the girlfriend first.

"Let's try again."

(Deduction begins!)

(You take leave from your superiors and call your girlfriend, inviting her out.)

(You've paid a woman to accompany you to meet your girlfriend.)

(You tell your girlfriend you've found someone new.)

(Your girlfriend is somewhat incredulous. Even when you try to use psychological suggestion on her, she remains skeptical.)

(You kiss the woman right in front of your girlfriend.)

(Your girlfriend finally gets angry, breaks up with you on the spot, and throws your engagement ring into a roadside drain.)

(You secretly followed your girlfriend until you were sure she boarded the train back to her hometown, then you left with relief.)

(You went to a notary to draft a will, leaving all your assets to your grandparents.)

(Back home, you knocked out four of your teeth with a stone, making your face appear more gaunt.)

(You dyed your hair, changed your hairstyle, and disguised your appearance.)

(Looking in the mirror, you felt that even if your girlfriend saw you now, she might not recognize you.)

(Instead of sourcing weapons from the village, you used the firearms knowledge you gained in the military to craft a crude homemade gun. After testing it, you found that its effective range was only 3 meters, and it had to be used at close range to be lethal.)

(End of Day 1.)

(You arrived in your hometown, and the entire village was grateful to your stepfather. The village roads were all built with his donations.)

(You observed your stepfather's villa for two days, noting down his patterns of movement.)

(You discovered that every day at 7 a.m., your stepfather would leave his villa to jog around the nearby lake. At this time, he only had two bodyguards with him. With your skills, you believed you could handle them.)

(The stepfather's two brothers also lived in the villa. They were lazy and typically woke up around noon. You planned to assassinate them after dealing with the stepfather.)

(End of Day 3.)

(The voice of the invigilator echoed in your ears.)

(Invigilator: Nothing achieved. Rationality: 4 points, Emotionality: 1 point.)

(You ended the deduction!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes, recalling every detail of his previous experiences. He used the last two days to memorize his stepfather's patterns, aiming for a single lethal blow.

Gu Yi closed his eyes again, deducing the assassination twice. He had now built muscle memory. He was now confident that he could kill his stepfather even with his eyes shut.

"Alright, let's officially begin."

...

Inside the real world.

With the joint efforts of the strategy team and the police, all suspects responsible for spreading the spam bots online were apprehended.

Regrettably, the fanatics who developed the spam bots managed to escape, leaving the strategy team with only a few peripheral members without any significant influence.

Qu Kangping left the interrogation to his subordinates and sat alone in his office, watching the weird live broadcast.

At the moment, Gu Yi was standing in front of a full-length mirror, deep in thought.

The comment section became heated again.

"Coming here again to spout nonsense, so boring."

"If you don't want to watch, just leave. Stop pretending here."

"Aren't you going to Lighthouse Country to find your daddy Chris? Hurry up, I've already booked your plane ticket to Gotham City."

"Why can't it be a quick kill? What's he pondering so much for?"

"People like you with no brains shouldn't watch the live broadcast. Go home and play with your fingers holding your pig-like head."

Qu Kangping looked at the barrage of comments before him, cheerfully whistling, "Ah... this kind of comment environment is truly entertaining!"
