In fact, if Xia Xu wanted to maintain the plot, he could still do it, but it would require him to pay and give up a lot.
First of all, the experimental data must be handed over, and secondly, Meng Bochao must continue to help, and then all kinds of plots will no longer be involved. This may allow the super brain plot to develop in the most original direction.
But using these costs to gamble on the inevitability of a protagonist's halo is somewhat not worth the loss.
If it was a normal and friendly protagonist like Grant, it would be fine, at most we could just make friends, but someone like Griffin Jones is not worth it.
Even without talking about various reasons such as patriotism, his attitude of taking other people's kindness for granted or even repaying kindness with grievances is simply a typical lone wolf character, and he is really not suitable for close friendship.
"Bo Chao, please pull up the surveillance cameras nearby on the day of the accident."
After reading the newly added part of Griffin Jones's fate profile, Xia Xu naturally also saw the plot about Meng Bochao. He temporarily suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and turned to give instructions to Meng Bochao.
"Oh, okay."
Hearing this, Meng Bochao immediately started working on the computer and soon opened several surveillance videos: "Boss, they are all here."
He was already investigating the matter, so the surveillance video nearby on the day of the car accident was naturally of paramount importance, and he had already downloaded and backed it up early on.
"Boss, do you have any ideas for investigation?"
Yang Bowen thought that Xia Xu was thinking about investigating the perpetrator after he finished looking at Griffin Jones's attribute board. When he saw him turn around and check the surveillance video, he was suddenly alert and also came over.
"Well, a little bit."
Xia Xu watched the video at high speed himself, and asked Meng Bochao while watching: "Do you know the exact time when your father had the car accident?"
"It was 4:40 in the afternoon, about ten minutes before or after. Someone passing by called 120 for my father. I specifically asked the hospital for the time of the call and the assessment of his injury."
Meng Bochao was particularly "professional" in this regard. After all, he had a four-star talent for information retrieval, and this talent was best at finding and analyzing valuable information.
His father is still in a coma in the hospital, and his mother is exhausted because of this incident and stays by his bedside all day. Therefore, for Meng Bochao, there is absolutely no information more "valuable" than news about the perpetrator.
He had previously hacked into the traffic control system in order to find the perpetrator who had fled the scene, not only for revenge, but also to get medical expenses.
"Yeah, okay."
Xia Xu nodded slightly, then continued to browse the video at high speed in silence.
Of course, you don’t watch all of them, just the scenes before and after the incident.
After checking all the surveillance videos of roads near the crime scene that Meng Bochao had retrieved, he started looking through other surveillance videos and finally paused on a video that was very far away and seemed to have nothing to do with the crime scene.
"If nothing unexpected happened, this van was the one that hit your father. You and Lao Yang should find a way to find the owner of the van."
Xia Xu pointed at a white van that was frozen in the picture.
"ah?"
Meng Bochao was confused by Xia Xu's "casual" identification of the murderer.
"Boss, how can you be sure it's this one?"
Yang Bowen couldn't help but ask.
He thought his boss had made some breakthrough or clues in the investigation, but he just skipped the process and fast-forwarded to identifying the murderer
How do you know
"I calculated it."
Xia Xu spread his hands.
"Calculate... calculate it?"
Yang Bowen couldn't hold it anymore.
Could this be the legendary metaphysical method of solving cases by counting on one's fingers
It seems that the boss really said that he can tell fortunes...
"I'm talking about calculations."
Xia Xu obviously understood Yang Bowen's idea and explained unhappily: "Watch all the surveillance cameras around the section where the incident occurred, memorize the vehicles on each intersecting road, and estimate their speeds with reference objects.
Then all the vehicles and roads are modeled in the mind, and the speed of these vehicles on the screen is used as the basis, and factors such as deceleration, lane changes, road turns, etc. that occur when vehicles intersect and encounter each other are substituted to calculate the error.
This ultimately led to the location of these vehicles at the time of the incident. There were 134 vehicles passing through the surrounding streets at the time, but only this van could be at the location of the incident at the time of the incident.
"… "
Meng Bochao and Yang Bowen looked at each other.
"Boss, I would be more receptive if you said you could tell fortunes. You're getting more and more ridiculous."
Yang Bowen said speechlessly.
"Boss, are these things you said really something that people can do? Don't bully me because I'm not well educated."
Meng Bochao couldn't help but complain: "If you say you calculated it slowly, I would believe it, but it's too fake to say it was calculated in such a short time just now."
"Who says it can't be done? At most, it's just ordinary people who can't do it."
Xia Xu spread his hands: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, this is the vehicle that caused the accident."
He was not talking nonsense. The vehicle that caused the accident was indeed the van he pointed out, and he had actually calculated it.
However, it was not him who figured it out, but Griffin Jones.
As mentioned in the new plot supplement, Griffin Jones took a large dose of SB-13 for efficient learning and used the residual drug effects to help Meng Bochao find the culprit, and by the way, he showed off in a popular way.
If he really wanted to calculate it, he could take SB-13 to do it, but since he already knew the result, there was no need to risk brain damage. He could just find and confirm the vehicle mentioned in the plot and pretend to come up with a 'reasonable' result.
Unfortunately, this plot, which was very reasonable in the original story of Super Brain, is obviously not reasonable at all in the eyes of Meng Bochao and Yang Bowen at this moment.
After all, if one had not experienced the power of the super brain potion, this so-called calculation would be too false and exaggerated.
Compared with this, they actually believe that their boss can tell the truth by counting on his fingers. At least fortune-telling as a unique custom and culture has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the Xia people all believe in it to some extent.
Of course there is a more reasonable possibility...
"It seems that this is another result of the investigation by the boss's other forces. The mysterious source of intelligence is the same as before."
Two brain-filled monsters with the same tacit understanding are online again.
With this in mind, the identification of the perpetrator given by the boss is probably 80% reliable.
Besides, there is no other breakthrough anyway, so it won’t be a waste of time to investigate this car. Anyway, my boss has spoken, so I might as well go and confirm it.
Favorability +1
Favorability +1
Favorability +1
Favorability...
When Meng Bochao thought that he had only joined the "organization" for two days and the boss had already arranged everything he promised, he was really moved and his favorability towards him kept rising.
