Looking at the awkward expressions on everyone’s faces in the room.
Chen Xiao suddenly realized that while he was focused on verifying his skills, he had forgotten about how others might feel.
He was a detective.
And not just any detective, but one who assisted the police in solving cases.
Soone like him suddenly showing up and asking to confirm sothing with this group of people.
Who wouldn’t think that Chen Xiao might be investigating them for sothing?
At this point, Dai Hong’Er realized the situation too and couldn’t help but chuckle:
"Don’t misunderstand, classmates. Mr. Chen has already explained to that it’s just so personal ideas of his and has nothing to do with any case."
"Really!"
Dai Hong’Er made sure to add, and Chen Xiao followed up with a laugh:
"Yes, please don’t misunderstand. Also, let’s just be friends now that we’ve t, no need for formal titles, just call by my na!"
The crowd nodded slightly, and Shen Shuming asked:
"What do you need us to do?"
"You don’t need to do anything, just move from your spots and wait for a bit."
Chen Xiao actually didn’t want to bother anyone for help.
But he couldn’t just randomly grab a bunch of people off the street and say, ’Let see your feet,’ could he?
If he really did that, those people would surely treat him like a lunatic.
Fortunately, Dai Hong’Er knew so people in Hai City.
So naturally, Chen Xiao didn’t bother to go through more trouble, at least he and Dai Hong’Er were partners.
Upon hearing this, everyone left their spots and waited nearby.
Chen Xiao didn’t bother identifying each person’s physical features carefully, nor did he concern himself with who was who.
Once the group moved away, he began observing the footprints on the ground.
After examining each set of footprints, Chen Xiao would record the data he deduced.
As the number of evaluations increased, Chen Xiao’s assessnt ti also beca faster.
Xiaoji, who had been watching all along, began to look a bit wary halfway through.
He constantly felt that Chen Xiao couldn’t possibly be doing sothing boring.
As their leader, by recording their data, Chen Xiao was clearly indicating that there was a bad guy among the crowd!
Chen Xiao didn’t care what others thought.
After he had written down all the data, he let out a long breath and then handed the recorded data to everyone.
"Everyone, I wonder if the data and physical characteristics I recorded are close to your actual conditions?"
Chen Xiao asked earnestly.
The second-generation kids glanced at the data Chen Xiao had given them, all looking visibly surprised.
"Wow! Mr. Chen really lives up to being a police investigation consultant. Just from our footprints, he can deduce our physical conditions, and in such detail too!"
"Looks like what they show on TV is real. There really are police who can derive height, weight, and other data just from footprints!"
"That’s really impressive! But I still think Mr. Chen’s mory is the most astonishing. We only talked for a bit, and he rembers all of our positions!"
Shen Shuming praised, but Chen Xiao shook his head and said:
"I didn’t actually rember your positions, I ca here because it’s late at night and I didn’t know where to find people. You just happened to be gathered here."
Chen Xiao wasn’t there to show off his abilities.
He spoke with a different purpose in mind!
Sure enough, Shen Shuming seed a bit skeptical after hearing this and said:
"That can’t be right, Mr. Chen. If you hadn’t rembered our positions, how could you deduce our physical characteristics in such a short ti and accurately give each person their data with minimal error?"
Chen Xiao smiled without explanation.
Seeing this, Shen Shuming directly said, "How about Mr. Chen steps aside for a mont? I’ll find another group of people, and you try again?"
This was exactly the effect Chen Xiao wanted, so he agreed without hesitation.
Shen Shuming quickly went off to find people.
Seeing this, Xiaoji whispered, "Brother Chen, what’s going on? How did I not realize you were so well-versed in footprints before!"
"I devised my own thod tonight. I ca here to verify whether my thod is effective!"
"Wow, you ca up with it yourself?" Xiaoji looked completely surprised.
Chen Xiao thought about it and explained, "Actually, this thod was recorded in the past, but it seed to have been lost and rarely seen used by police nowadays. I was bored in the hotel tonight, so I tried it out, and it led to the situation we have now."
Xiaoji gave a thumbs-up, "Though I don’t understand, I still think it’s amazing!"
Dai Hong’Er saw them whispering, glanced at the data in her hand, and leaned closer to ask:
"Mr. Chen, are you sure you’re not here to catch a suspect?"
Dai Hong’Er originally didn’t think so, but seeing Chen Xiao’s actions, she couldn’t help but feel a little uncertain in her heart.
"Oh, does even Miss Dai not believe now?"
"Alright, it seems Mr. Chen is really infatuated with criminal investigation. I thought when you had free ti, you’d spend more of it on our investnt plans in Dongzhou."
Dai Hong’Er laughed wryly.
But soon, Shen Shuming returned, saying with anticipation:
"Mr. Chen, I’ve arranged the people, left the footprints for you, please go ahead!"
Chen Xiao said thanks and proceeded with Shen Shuming to another spot.
Others followed after them.
When everyone arrived, Chen Xiao observed the footprints left behind.
But there were many prints and no one to match them to.
This made Chen Xiao suspect that Shen Shuming was genuinely curious about his Tracking Skill, but also upping the challenge for him.
Though Shen Shuming didn’t know it, Chen Xiao needed this opportunity to verify if he had really mastered the "Tracking Skill".
So, at this mont, both his thoughts and emotions were clearly more vivid and heightened than before!
Once again recording the footprints, Chen Xiao looked at Shen Shuming and said:
"There are a total of 27 footprints, 10 male pairs, and 17 female. The youngest female seems to be around 20-25 years old, the oldest should be over fifty. As for the males, most are around thirty, with an age difference likely not exceeding three years!"
Chen Xiao’s ntioned age discrepancy ans that an individual’s age and the deduced data don’t differ by more than three!
In Shen Shuming’s eyes, there finally appeared a look of deep admiration:
"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! Who would have thought Mr. Chen could be so divine!"
As he said this, Shen Shuming clapped his hands, and imdiately 27 people erged.
Seeing the 27 people, Chen Xiao handed out his records to each of them.
After distributing them, Chen Xiao smiled and asked:
"Everyone, the data I recorded and noted deviations should be accurate, right?"
The 27 people, unaware of what had happened, nodded in agreent after reviewing the data.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps he wouldn’t need to rely on the calendar anymore and could independently develop his forensic skills!
