Chapter 138: A Bullet is Enough to End It All

Chapter 138 – Even One Bullet Can Kill

A person awarded three first-class merits and one second-level honor exists.

Can you imagine his case-solving abilities?

You wouldn’t dare to even think about it!

Why?

Do you know what level of cases qualify for a first-class merit?

Major cases!

It’s not that others are incapable of solving such cases.

The problem is that a unit like the Criminal Investigation Team…

has neither the authority to connect with nor participate in major cases.

Even the lowest-level cases must be handled by the City Bureau or the Provincial Department.

Besides, where in the nation are there so many major cases?

Imagine if you were Qian Long – wouldn’t you feel that the world is utterly surreal?

A police officer in a Criminal Investigation Team solving major cases one after another…

But isn’t their city under strict control?

With major cases erupting repeatedly, wouldn’t the military take over the city?

Does that even make sense?

Of course, these aren’t the main points.

The crucial issue is if someone like that gets involved in a case and is forced to investigate…

Is there any hope for him to get justice for his subordinates?

Qian Long’s eyes burned with fierce determination.

“Isn’t it a hassle?”

Xiao Yu shifted his gaze from the corpse to look at Qian Long.

Does this mean he has to play the tool again?

Why do I have to say ‘again’?

He thought to himself, inwardly grumbling while putting on a facade of high spirits.

“Impossible,”

Qian Long quickly shook his head. “Your ability to act is a huge help to us. Thanks – there’s no time for thanks.”

He led Xiao Yu and Guo Qiang back to the Criminal Investigation Team…

Qian Long’s crew reported to the higher-ups about calling upon Bincheng Criminal Investigation Team’s Xiao Yu.

This whole process is rather complicated.

The Sub-Team Captain, upon hearing his subordinate report on Xiao Yu’s ‘work ability’,

felt his brain go numb.

Has a local legend just arrived?

Soon, the Y City Bureau was also alerted.

In their shock, they were also in awe of Xiao Yu’s capabilities…

……

Xiao Yu sat with Guo Qiang in the Criminal Investigation Team lounge, waiting over tea.

A young policewoman stood on the side, occasionally serving them tea and snacks.

It was almost as if every eye was fixed on Xiao Yu.

That’s the power of a good face.

Being handsome is its own kind of story.

Being less so usually spells disaster…

Luckily, Xiao Yu wasn’t that kind of guy – he even had a stunningly beautiful sister.

Ignoring the policewoman’s admiring glances, he kept his distance and said not a single word.

Meanwhile,

Xiao Yu witnessed police officers from the Criminal Investigation Team returning with several arrested individuals caught for soliciting prostitution…

Is the Criminal Investigation Team even handling this?

Certainly – any incident within their jurisdiction must be dealt with.

He watched those men, heads bowed and faces flushed, as they listened to the officers instructing them to inform their families.

Xiao Yu stifled a laugh.

He could easily imagine the awkward moment when, after being caught, a man receives a call from a police officer informing his parents.

It was almost too mortifying to live through!

No wonder men can be such peculiar creatures.

Though Xiao Yu was very smart, when it came to his own sister,

even a man’s lower half sometimes seemed to make decisions before his brain did!

At four in the afternoon,

Xiao Yu received a call.

The Bin City Bureau’s Da Ju Yun Xiangguo was on the line, asking straight away, “What’s going on?”

“What did I mess up now?”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “What are the orders, boss?”

“The big boss from Y City personally called – I was shocked. They said you’re heading over to take charge of their case?” Yun Xiangguo asked irritably.

“I’m only here to assist, not take over,” Xiao Yu corrected his superior’s phrasing.

“Aren’t they practically the same thing?”

Yun Xiangguo laughed sardonically. “What, our city’s case isn’t exciting enough for you? You want to show off your skills elsewhere?”

“It’s like that…”

Xiao Yu reported the details of the slain officer’s case.

Yun Xiangguo fell silent.

After a long pause, his voice turned cold and lethal, “Not one of them should be spared!”

Everyone has their limits and sacred lines.

Even police officers are human!

Soon, Bin City and Y City reached an agreement.

They assigned Bincheng Criminal Investigation Team’s Deputy Leader Xiao Yu and officer Guo Qiang to assist with Y City’s investigation… on a human trafficking case!

……

【Ding! Case Triggered Successfully.】

【Police God Case Check-in Opened.】

【Does the host wish to check in?】

The voice of the system echoed in his mind.

Xiao Yu was not at all surprised.

Nor did he hesitate for even a moment.

Check in!

After all, the point was to crack the case and find the killer.

Xiao Yu’s heart was uneasy!

【Ding! Congratulations, host – case check-in successful!】

【System Reward: Ability – Weapon Expert!】

【System Task Assigned: Solve the Human Trafficking Case!】

【Time Limit: Ten Days!】

【If the task is completed within the time limit, an additional system skill, Salamander Regeneration, will be awarded!】

【If the task fails within the time limit, the system abilities granted will be retracted!】

【Task Countdown Begins…】

Suddenly, countless weapon schematics and control techniques flooded into Xiao Yu’s mind, marking his body.

The so-called ‘Weapon Expert’ ability encompassed mastery over various melee combat tools.

From combat knives and stabs to T-shaped canes and batons, the variety was astonishing.

With this ability, Xiao Yu instantly became an expert in all eighteen types of weapons.

Then there was that ‘Salamander Regeneration’ ability.

It left Xiao Yu utterly baffled for quite some time.

He pulled out his phone to look up information on salamanders.

Instantly, Xiao Yu’s expression changed drastically.

Regenerative power?!

Salamanders can regrow lost limbs, tails, and even internal organs.

Even more astonishing, they can transplant limbs from other animals

and fully restore the functions of organs like eyes!

Damn, isn’t that ability a bit terrifying?

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

Of course, it wouldn’t be as exaggerated as he initially thought.

All the abilities provided by the system were essentially within the limits of what humans and animals could achieve.

They wouldn’t break certain boundaries.

Even so, when these system abilities and skills converge in one person,

does that not make him superhuman?

Abilities: Combat Expert, Gun Expert, Driving Expert, Psychological Expert, Red Hacker Expert, Medical Expert, Bomb Disposal Expert, Weapon Expert…

Skills: Falcon’s Eye, Wangdie’s Nose, Wax Moth’s Ear, Cheetah Speed, Bear Force, Spirit of the Raccoon Cat, Python’s Sense…

And then there’s ‘Salamander Regeneration’ – whether he can truly master it remains to be seen.

If the case isn’t solved, the ‘Weapon Expert’ ability will be rescinded by the system.

No matter what, he truly was superhuman.

But this kind of superhuman was unique.

Even if his head got shot, he’d still die!

……

At five in the afternoon,

Y City established a Special Investigation Team for the human trafficking case involving the murder of a police officer.

Team Leader: Xiao Yu.

Deputy Team Leader: Guo Qiang.

Team Members: Ten major-case police officers.

Y City’s police system was in charge of coordination…

in a conference room that felt endless.

At that moment, Xiao Yu sat at his desk, staring at the computer before him.

He ate takeout while reviewing the case files.

Surrounded by 11 veteran detectives, all eyes were on their leader…
