All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 45: Trace the Origin

[Quick Snatch: Holding time reduced to five minutes, then ownership is obtained.]

[Trace the Origin: Gain ownership of another’s item while also obtaining basic identity information of the original owner.]

Su Xin’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately made a choice in his heart: "I choose Trace the Origin!"

As soon as he made his choice, a stream of information automatically appeared in his mind.

Seeing Su Xin’s unusual expression, Fang Mengzhu asked in surprise, "Su Xin, what’s wrong with you?"

Su Xin came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Nothing, I suddenly thought of a breakthrough... By the way, I’m afraid I have to go back on my word. I have a way to find some clues, and I must go out later."

"No way!"

Fang Mengzhu said eagerly, "You promised me not to act recklessly. You can’t investigate on your own. You’re just a high school student. How can you face those vicious criminals? There are many more of them than you, and they have guns. Do you want to die?"

"Mengzhu, listen to me!"

Su Xin extended his hands to grasp her shoulders, looking earnestly at her eyes:

"My parents were murdered. I can’t just sit at home waiting for the police to investigate, nor can I rely on the law to handle it. I can agree with you on many things, but not on this matter. Don’t try to stop me!"

"No! I’ll have my dad help investigate!"

"Mengzhu! Don’t try to persuade me anymore!"

Fang Mengzhu was so anxious that tears started streaming down her face.

But seeing Su Xin’s serious expressions, she knew there was no use in continuing to try to persuade him.

She watched helplessly as the boyfriend she had just fallen in love with insisted on heading down a path of potential death, feeling unable to stop him, causing Fang Mengzhu’s heart to tighten with pain.

Emotions can be a very mysterious thing.

Some people spend a lifetime together without true feelings, while others, although only meeting a few times and not really knowing each other, have extremely strong emotions.

Of course, the main reason is that the two had just gotten together when feelings were most intense, with neither discovering each other’s flaws, seeing only the good in the other, making the emotions appear deeper.

"Su... Su Xin!"

Fang Mengzhu cried, "Then you must promise me, even if you personally investigate, you absolutely must not take risks. If you find any potential danger, you must retreat and tell me the clues. I’ll beg my dad to continue investigating and even find the murderer for you!"

"You must believe in me, and even more in my dad. My dad has significant influence in Lening City and can do a lot. Really, if you encounter difficulties, remember what I said earlier. Don’t draw a clear line with me; your matters are my matters, and I will definitely ask my dad for help, okay?"

Su Xin wiped away the tears from her face.

But soon more tears flowed.

Su Xin had to replace words with kisses, which finally calmed Fang Mengzhu down.

"Don’t worry, I won’t joke about my life. I still have a great youth to enjoy, and such a beautiful and wonderful girlfriend waiting for me. How could I possibly bear to die?"

"Moreover, I’m not just an ordinary person as you imagine. I actually have connections, some quite formidable friends."

Su Xin said half-jokingly, hoping to assure Fang Mengzhu somewhat.

But how would Fang Mengzhu believe that?

Usually naive and seemingly not very clever, she realized that Su Xin didn’t even know what local forces existed and relied on her to obtain basic information, so how could he possibly have connections?

However, faced with the persistent Su Xin, she truly didn’t know how to persuade him anymore. Finally, after repeated assurances from Su Xin, she reluctantly left Su Xin’s house, hurriedly driving home to persuade her father to help Su Xin.

And Su Xin, returning home.

He took out the shell casing picked up at the crime scene from the drawer and tightly held it in his palm.

As Su Xin anxiously waited, time passed minute by minute.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three minutes

...

Ten minutes.

No system prompt.

Only an abrupt stream of information surged into Su Xin’s mind—

"He Zhengqi, male, 33 years old, level-four core member of the Golden Shield Gang, residing in Lening City’s South District Fourth Street Taogu District Building 5, father’s name He Runqiang, mother’s name..."

"Golden Shield Gang..."

Su Xin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with disbelief and agonizing struggle.

Since one of the murderers is a core member of the Golden Shield Gang, then the mastermind is highly likely the Golden Shield Gang. After all, such a large-scale operation can’t be organized by regular leaders; it can only be the highest level of the gang.

This definitely involves the gang leader.

"Why does it have to be them!!!"

Su Xin’s eyes showed pain but quickly firmed up, filled with hatred and murderous intention.

"No matter who it is, those who killed my parents must pay with their lives, even if it’s Mengzhu’s father, you only have one path to death!!"

Su Xin clenched his fists tightly.

Then promptly took out his phone, opened the map software, and began searching for the target’s home address based on the information that had just appeared in his mind.

Although he can basically determine the murderer as the Golden Shield Gang, to avoid wrongful actions, he decided to first find this confirmed murderer and avoid wrongly killing Fang Mengzhu’s father or allowing the real murderer to escape punishment.

[Other-Transformation] ability upgrade obtained [Trace the Origin] feature, it can only obtain basic information of the original owner, unable to know the target’s current location, and Su Xin cannot confirm whether the target is home now, but nevertheless, he can only go to the target’s home address.

Fourth Street.

Taogu District.

Su Xin quickly found the target address.

"They committed such a large crime, causing so much uproar, it’s not suitable to leave at this time. Maintaining normal living patterns is the safest approach."

"Therefore, at this time, He Zhengqi should be at home."

Su Xin showed a hint of coldness.

He fetched various equipment like a black robe and Finger Tiger from the wardrobe, packed them into a backpack, then donned a mask and swiftly headed out to catch a cab.

Half an hour later.

Su Xin arrived near Taogu District.

At this time, night had fully descended, and few figures were seen on the street. Su Xin randomly found a deserted alley, confirmed there were no cameras nearby, and promptly changed into the black robe and usual gear like Finger Tiger.

Before long.

A silhouette cloaked in a black robe, flickering repeatedly, entered the now silent Taogu District.

Taogu District counts as mid-range in the entire Lening City and has security guards on duty 24/7, with fairly comprehensive monitoring set up.

From the moment Su Xin appeared inside the district, the guard in the gatehouse sipping hot tea saw Su Xin’s figure.
