The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 97: Poverty Is Also a Trait


"Keren, you're here. We're fine," Mu Shihan greeted with a smile.

Xiao Feng went straight to the point: "Have you found the person controlling the drone?"

"No!" Song Keren shook her head. "It has a signal amplifier on it, which can receive signals from up to five kilometers away, making the investigation even more difficult."

After saying this, Song Keren prepared herself for Xiao Feng's sarcasm, but she truly had no desire to argue with Xiao Feng right now.

The impact of this incident was significant.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Feng didn't resort to taunts. Instead, he nodded and said, "The other party came prepared; we can't expect to find them easily."

After speaking, he patted Song Keren on the shoulder: "You've worked hard. Without me, this wouldn't have happened."

Song Keren felt a lot better instantly, and her face reddened quickly because Xiao Feng's hand was still resting on her shoulder and hadn't moved.

"Who do you think did it?" Song Keren quickly changed the subject, simultaneously removing Xiao Feng's hand from her shoulder, as it wasn't appropriate with so many people watching.

"I don't know," Xiao Feng shook his head.

"Furthermore, from this information, it's not hard to reach a conclusion, or rather, a characteristic..."

Song Keren asked, "What characteristic?"

"Poverty!" Xiao Feng confidently answered.

"Pov... poverty?" Song Keren was flabbergasted, and the others around were equally incredulous. Can that even be considered a characteristic?

Xiao Feng retorted, "Why are you so surprised by something so obvious? If the other party had money, they would have used TNT directly, instead of ammonium nitrate."

"But what if the other party deliberately used ammonium nitrate, which is not conducive to us finding clues?" a police officer raised a doubt.

Song Keren also said, "Or maybe the other party couldn't get TNT for the time being."

"Impossible!" Xiao Feng laughed. "For international crime, having their own research team is essential. If they can't get the finished product, they'll get the materials and make it themselves."

"How can you be sure it's international crime?" The surrounding officers were even more puzzled, and now even the criminal investigation team gathered around.

Xiao Feng's gaze swept over everyone as his lips curled into a mischievous smile: "Do you really want to know?"

Song Keren urged, "Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us."

She was genuinely afraid Xiao Feng would ask these people for money, which would embarrass her, considering Xiao Feng was technically a consultant for Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau and thus her responsibility.

Xiao Feng thought it over and decided not to bring up money. They had already worked hard in rescuing people, and since this issue started because of him, asking for money would be too unkind.

Nevertheless, Xiao Feng considered this loss to be Song Keren's responsibility, planning to find a way to make it up later.

"Do you remember I mentioned before that they used at least twenty kilograms?" Xiao Feng asked.

A police officer nodded: "Your statement is roughly consistent with our investigation results. But what's that got to do with confirming it's international crime?"

"Why are you in a hurry." Xiao Feng said irritably: "What's the payload capacity of small drones?"

Someone answered, "Between 10 and 20 kilograms for civilian use, generally for spraying crops."

"Exactly, at least twenty kilograms, plus a detonator and signal amplifier, meaning the drone they used far exceeded the payload limit of small drones," Xiao Feng said. "And it can maintain a speed of nearly forty kilometers per hour, which is beyond the capabilities of civilian drones."

To prevent meaningless questions, Xiao Feng addressed it in advance: "No need to ask how I know the speed, because I was chased by it for three kilometers."

Everyone gasped and began to discuss among themselves; who exactly is this young man?

"If it's not a civilian drone, could it be military?" Song Keren questioned, which silenced everyone, making them strangely tense as it was a sensitive topic.

Xiao Feng smiled: "No need to be so tense. Does our country need me to explain the strict management on military manufacturing products?"

Those who had served in the military nodded: "Indeed, even an expired bullet cannot be disposed of; it's a strict rule."

"Since it's neither civilian nor military, could it be privately modified?" Song Keren asked again.

"Modified?" Xiao Feng laughed out loud. "You think it's like modifying a car, just modify it as you wish? Drones, although small, don't have parameters that can be easily adjusted."

"For instance, to increase payload, you have to increase the size, which means the wings and propellers also need to be adjusted. If you want to maintain flight speed while increasing payload, you need to modify the motor as well."

Xiao Feng concluded: "In short, if it's privately modified, the difficulty is no less than developing it from scratch."

This long explanation left everyone dumbfounded. While they marveled at Xiao Feng's vast knowledge, they couldn't help but wonder, where did the other side get these drones?

"Therefore, the opponent's drone was actually purchased," Xiao Feng said. "To my knowledge, currently, the only company capable of producing a drone like this is 'Dragonfly' Company in Southeast Asia, with primary clients being international criminals."

"If I remember correctly, there was a similar case in our country two years ago, where the criminal group used drones manufactured by Dragonfly Company."

Xiao Feng paused, then continued, "Within less than twelve hours after the incident, three factories of Dragonfly Company suffered devastating blows, and the headquarters was directly cleaned out; Dragonfly Company was seriously hurt and announced they were cutting all ties with Chinese enterprises and organizations, and would no longer provide any products to individuals or forces in China."

Everyone was lost in thought, as they knew about the attack two years ago, but didn't know the hidden details Xiao Feng mentioned.

Originally, they thought it was diplomatic pressure that forced Dragonfly Company to make a statement, but now it was clear that wasn't the case.

And hearing this, everyone understood why Xiao Feng said it was international, because Dragonfly Company simply dared not sell anything to domestic parties anymore.

"How do you know all this?" Song Keren asked, her brows furrowed, and everyone around perked up their ears as this was the same question they wanted answered.

Xiao Feng hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Two years ago, I happened to be in Southeast Asia."
