Chapter 146: Supernatural Inspector

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Meng was also stunned.

And then..

She came to her senses.

The little fat fish was talking about her.

Ever since she told Xu Bai once that she could transform into a small and chubby goldfish in the river of fate, Xu Bai had given her the nickname Little Fat Fish.

When Su Meng came back to her senses, she could not help but stomp her feet.

“Master

“Haha.”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng’s angry and frustrated expression and laughed out loud.

However, it had to be said that Xu Bai was a little surprised and happy that his disciple could become a little fat fish in the river of fate.

In a single sentence.

In the past, Xu Bai relied on cheats to solve cases.

Right now…

Another cheat had appeared. Moreover, the efficiency of this cheat was even more powerful than his original cheat.

After all, before this, Xu Bai had relied on whether the other party had a red name to solve the case. However, it was one thing to see a red name, but it was another thing to not be able to find it.

However, Old Fu was different after Su Meng entered the industry. He could even ignore the process of finding a red name. After seeing the corpse, he directly asked Su Meng to make a trip to the River of Fate. When she returned, he would find a profiler and ask Su Meng to describe the criminal suspect’s appearance and characteristics. After drawing Old Fu, he would take it to the system and run around. After the information was out, he would just take the criminal.

This efficiency increased by about 40% in the blink of an eye.

And this time was no exception.

Since Homeland Security was involved in these spontaneous human combustion cases, it meant that this case was not as simple as it seemed. There was a high chance that it involved the transcendent world.

Although Xu Bai could be considered a member of the transcendent world now, he had only joined the thief sect for less than four days after all. Zhu Cong had been very busy these few days, so he did not have the time to find Zhu Cong to spread the knowledge of the transcendent world.

Directly ask Homeland Security?

Xu Bai didn’t even have to think about it. The Homeland Security would definitely not tell him the truth.

He even suspected that Homeland Security took the bodies of other bureaus and didn’t come to him to take them. They were most likely afraid that he would find out that they were involved and that he would know something from Homeland Security.

Thank goodness.

Xu Bai had a cheat. As long as Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen came here, Su Meng could directly run to the river of fate and discover that the two of them knew the situation of this case. He didn’t even have to ask.

Not long after.

An hour after Xu Bai hung up the call with Gu Hongyu, three black SUVs drove over from afar and stopped at the entrance of the 38th Precinct.

Homeland Security agents Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen walked over from the car.

Xu Bai received a call from the guard and waited at the entrance of the building with Su Meng. Seeing the two of them get out of the car, he gave Su Meng a look and smiled.

“Welcome, welcome, welcome.”

“…Thank you.”

Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen looked at each other. They were clearly not used to Xu Bail s sudden enthusiasm this time. After all, Xu Bai had always treated his case like Homeland Security.

How could they not feel uncomfortable with this sudden 180-degree change in attitude?

Xu Bai did not give Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen a chance to think. Instead, he led the two of them straight to the forensics office on basement one and pointed at the five corpses that had already been packed. “The five corpses are all here. Take them away.”

“Okay.”

Gu Hongyu was still thinking about why Xu Bail s attitude had changed, but after seeing the five packed corpses and hearing Xu Bail s words, she waved her hand.

No matter what Xu Bai was planning, it was definitely not wrong to hand over the case first.

A few Homeland agents walked out expressionlessly and began to transport the five packed corpses to the van they had driven over.

“By the way, Detective Hsu.”

Gu Hongyu looked at the unobstructed transportation work and looked at Xu

Bai. “And the case file.’ “Oh,” Xu Bai replied.

Then he shook his head.

“What?”

“I didn’t even file a case. Where did the dossier come from?”

Gu Hongyu frowned.

Xu Bai, on the other hand, looked at Gu Hongyu with a knowing expression. “Yesterday, I knew that this case was a little tricky. I happened to hear that there were similar cases in other branches. I originally wanted to wait for the other branches to file the case so that I could pass the case over. I didn’t expect your Homeland Security to ask for the corpses of other branches and not me. Why? Are you discriminating against our 38th Precinct?” She was discriminatory just because of a disagreement.

“How can that be?”

“It’s just that this case is more complicated. After all, many precincts have similar corpses. Perhaps there were some problems with the agents under them during the docking. I’ll criticize them later.”

Gu Hongyu quickly explained. After placing the blame on the young agent, she asked curiously, “By the way, Agent Xu, don’t you want to handle this case personally?”

Xu Bai told the truth. “I do.”

Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen looked at each other.

The next second.

Xu Bai looked around, lowered his voice, and said to the two of them, “But it’s already the last month. As you know, our police station’s end-of-year assessment has begun. I plan to fight for the position of detective chief this year.”

He was now a detective in the 38th Precinct. From a certain perspective, he could also be considered a detective chief. After all, he was the leader of the Major Crimes Investigation Unit in the 38th Precinct.

‘But…

Detectives were on the same level, and detective chief inspectors were on another level.

Xu Bai said that he was a detective, but he had no real name. He was even paid as a detective.

Every year at the end of the year, the police department would prioritize the rate of solving cases. His rate of solving cases was one of the best, so there was no problem. However, when the police department was promoted, they would still consider another aspect.

For example, do you have any unsolved cases?

“If you were promoted at this time, what would happen to your case? If you got rid of it directly, the police would not be able to explain it to the taxpayers.

From the beginning until now, Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen had been wondering why Xu Bai would give them the case so straightforwardly this time. Now that they heard Xu Bai’s words, they could not help but nod.

This was indeed a reasonable explanation.

In order to pass this month’s assessment, it was indeed very reasonable to think of a way to get rid of the case in his hands. Moreover, this could also be said to be an unspoken rule for promotion.

Before advancing, he had to deal with the matters on his hands first. This was a tacit understanding.

Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen looked at each other. They did not discriminate against Xu Bai because of this. Instead, they said to Xu Bai, “Is that so? That’s great. Then we have to congratulate you in advance, Detective Xu.”

Xu Bai accepted their congratulations and said, “Thank you. When the time comes, I’ll treat the two of you to a meal. I hope the two of you will do me the honor.”

“Definitely. ”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll see the two of you out.”

“Okay.”

Xu Bai smiled as Gu Hongyu and Zheng Sen dispelled the confusion in their hearts and walked back to the entrance of the building. Then, he waved his hand with a smile and sent Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu off with the five corpses.

Not long after.

Three black SUVs from Homeland Security and a van with five bodies drove out of the 38th Precinct.

Xu Bai retracted his right hand and stuffed it into his pocket.

Su Meng, who had been silent at the side, waited for the car to disappear before looking at Xu Bai. “Master, are you really going to be promoted to detective chief?”

Xu Bai hummed. “Something like that.”

He wasn’t lying.

The day before yesterday, Team Leader Zhou had dragged him to the office to talk. After talking about the possibility that he would be promoted to Detective Chief at the end of the year, they also talked about where he would go after he was promoted.

“Where are we going?”

“Nowhere. It’s still the 38th Precinct.”

“Yes?”

Su Meng blinked. “But didn’t you say a few days ago that Detective Zhang would be back at the end of the year after finishing his renovation in the special district? Could it be that you’re transferring him somewhere else?”

The Detective Zhang she was talking about was the real detective chief. He was also the chief of the Major Crimes Investigation Unit of the 38th Precinct in name. However, after Xu Bai became a detective, Detective Zhang went to the special district to study. All along, Xu Bai had been doing the detective chief’s work as a detective.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, “No, he came back to take my place.”

Su Meng shook her head in confusion. “No.”

Xu Bai shook his head. “Next year, the branch might set up a new team. I might bring this new team.”

This was also what Team Leader Zhou had told him. However, after Xu Bai came out of Team Leader Zhou’s office, he called some of his friends at the police station and asked around. It was not fake news.

However, these friends did not know what this newly established team was called or why it was established. A few of them knew. Although they said that this was confidential information, they still hinted that Xu Bai had to fight for this position.

Xu Bai had a guess in his heart.

It was very likely that this newly established team was the Feng City Police Department’s previous preparations for this month’s Two Moons in the Sky phenomenon.

The troops had not moved, but the rations were first?

Su Meng pouted. “Master, if you go to this new group, I want to follow you.”

Xu Bai came back to his senses and looked at Su Meng. “Don’t worry, there’s a place for you.”

Su Meng blinked. “Really?”

Xu Bai shrugged and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can turn into a little fat fish and take a look in the River of Destiny.”

Since this team was prepared for the Federation to popularize transcendents in the future, naturally, the members of this team were definitely all transcendent.

When Su Meng heard Xu Bai call her Little Fat Fish again, she stomped her feet in anger. “Master

Xu Bai laughed out loud.

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop teasing you. How’s the reading going? Any leads?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go back and talk.”

“Okay.”
