.

"Yes."

Hua Xin nodded.

"Xiao Hua, what are you saying?!"

Liang Zhongping slapped his forehead. This girl was pretty and hardworking, but why was she so blunt? He quickly added, "Actually, what Xiaohua meant was that the authorities just don't know you well enough and hope that both sides can get to know each other better so that they can better promote the relationship."

"Captain Liang, stop lying through your teeth. Playing the game of personal relationships now is unwise. Just tell me directly, what does the official position suggest for resolving this issue?"

Rowe interrupted him.

"Okay, Xiaohua, you're the professional, you explain."

Liang Zhongping looked at Xiao Hua, and this action also made Luo Wei notice a detail: Hua Xin might not be a simple criminal investigation team member. After all, which criminal investigation team member has a private office and has a much better treatment than his own captain?

"Ah."

Hua Xin nodded, took out a document from under the tea table, placed it on the table, and said, "Submit your real identity file to the authorities and join the government. This is a swearing-in agreement."

"Oh shit."

Luo Wei, who is usually very polite, couldn't help but swear at this moment, because all his previous words had been wasted.

"Superman, I know what you're thinking, but..."

Hua Xin looked at Luo Wei with her black gem-like eyes and said firmly, "The strength of one person can never compare to that of a group. The government can provide you with a lot of help. To be honest, a Self-Improvement Department has been established in Kyoto. This department will gather powerful individuals with extraordinary abilities from all over the country to form a superhero alliance."

"Self-Improvement Department? Superhero Alliance?"

Luo Wei looked up slightly, somewhat surprised: "You're one of the members in charge of recruiting superheroes for the Self-Improvement Department?"

"I am a reserve member of the Self-Improvement Department, but I haven't joined yet. I was sent to Green Vine City to recruit some superheroes from the south to join the Self-Improvement Department."

Hua Xin thought he was interested, so she told him more information. Anyway, this wasn't a secret, and the Self-Strengthening Department would be promoting it within China in the future.

She continued, "The world is not as simple as you think. The vast universe is not only home to humans, but also to other civilizations. And those civilizations will come after us sooner or later. No one knows what we will face then; it could be peace, or it could be a brutal war."

"Extraterrestrial civilization. I know there were reports about this in the United States some time ago."

Luo Wei coughed a few times, touched his nose, and said.

"So you should think carefully about what we just said. Joining the Self-Improvement Department will give you more help and timely support when you encounter strong enemies. Moreover, with your strength, you won't be restricted. Just come to support us when we need you."

As Hua Xin spoke, she pushed the document agreement on the table, "Don't rush to sign it, I'll give you one night to think about it."

"Um, Miss Hua Xin, what's the pendant on your keychain for?"

Luo Wei didn't take the agreement, but pointed to the keychain and asked.

"The pendant is just for decoration and has no other use."

Hua Xin was confused and didn't understand what the superhero in front of her was trying to say.

Liang Zhongping, who was standing next to him, covered his face, as if he had guessed it.

"Decoration. It has no other use, so Miss Huaxin, I don't need any pendants, because I don't need decorations."

Luo Wei nodded in approval and pushed the document agreement back.

"What's the meaning?!"

Hua Xin's expression turned colder. She bit her red lips slightly with her white teeth. Under the light, her high nose bridge and well-defined features made her look even more aloof and beautiful.

"Have you heard of Superman and his five henchmen? Never mind, let me be clear: I won't join any organization. My methods may be a bit rough, but I would never harm the innocent or cross any lines. You don't need to worry. Also, if the Self-Improvement Department encounters difficulties or problems they can't solve, they can come to me. If I happen to have time, I might lend a hand. As for alien civilizations... that depends on who they are."

Because I'm an alien too!

Luo Wei kept the last sentence to himself and didn't say it aloud.

"call"

Hua Xin took a deep breath to calm herself before looking at him again, asking reluctantly, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"No need, I'm used to doing things alone."

Luo Wei shook his head.

"Alright, as long as you maintain a righteous heart, the authorities won't interfere too much. We'll include everything you said tonight in the report, and we won't cause you any trouble. You can rest assured."

Seeing this, Liang Zhongping put away the agreement for Hua Xin and poured tea as he spoke. The boiling tea was poured into the teacup, and a fragrant white mist spread out.

"The tea is good."

Luo Wei took a sip.

"That's right. Xiaohua's family is a scholarly family, so they must have studied tea. This tea smells wonderful."

Liang Zhongping also took a sip.

Hua Xin rolled up the agreement indignantly, feeling depressed. When she saw Liang Zhongping pouring tea for Luo Wei, she said quietly, "This tea was given to me by the cleaning lady. It costs a dozen yuan on the roadside. It's not the famous tea my dad gave me."

Luo Wei: You're making me seem tasteless.

Liang Zhongping: I knew I wasn't suited to drinking tea.

boom--

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Xiao Wang rushed in, panting heavily, clearly having run up there.

"Don't you know how to knock?!"

Liang Zhongping was so frightened that he spilled tea all over his pocket. He stood up angrily and questioned the situation.

"Boss, it's urgent! There's a murder case. Someone just reported that several people have died!"

Xiao Wang said hurriedly.

"what?"

Liang Zhongping's expression suddenly turned serious, and he no longer cared about his wet trousers.

In the office, Luo Wei and Hua Xin both frowned. How long had it been since Green Vine City had been at peace after Liu Beisan was arrested? They never expected another murder to occur!

"The murder occurred in an old village on the outskirts of the old town. The person who called the police said that someone was chasing them and that three people had been arrested. They also heard screams, but now those three people have disappeared and there is no sound from them."

Xiao Wang explained the situation clearly in one breath.

Which part of the old village?

Luo Wei stood up from the sofa, clenched his fist slightly, and asked calmly.

"The haunted house, the one that's been really popular lately. Young people often go there to have fun, but nothing ever happened until tonight when an accident occurred."

As Xiao Wang was speaking, before he could finish, he felt a gust of wind sweep across his face. The wind swept past him, the papers on the table were rolled up, and the Superman figure that had been standing in front of the opposite sofa had disappeared.

"Damn it, I'm going to get my jobs stolen again! Get the car ready!"

Seeing Luo Wei disappear, Liang Zhongping quickly pulled Xiao Wangchao downstairs and ran.

"Hey"

Hua Xin also plans to find another way to persuade Superman to join the Self-Improvement Department. Of course, he doesn't have to join, but at least the authorities need to know his background. Only in this way can the uncertainty of this potential threat be minimized.

Since a murder has occurred, we can only postpone the matter for now.

Thinking about it, she lifted her leg to follow Liang Zhongping, but she inadvertently saw the cup of tea that Superman had drunk from earlier. After thinking for a moment, she took out an evidence bag, put it in, and stored it away before chasing after Liang Zhongping and the other man.

It's been a while since I asked for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Dear friends, please give me some recommendation tickets to support me since I've been updating on time!

Also, recently we've been vying for recommendation slots, and keeping up with readers' reading is crucial. For those of you who have been nurturing your books recently, could you please check the daily chapter updates these next few days? Otherwise, if my reading volume is too low, I won't be able to get recommended. (This is also my first time on Qidian, and I've heard that testing the waters for recommendations is very important; you have to survive the first round to advance to the second. I haven't even made it into the first round yet.) I'd appreciate your support!

Chapter 22: The Power of a Single Punch

On the outskirts of the old town, darkness enveloped the dirt roadside, where dilapidated houses stretched as far as the eye could see. There used to be a small village here, but in recent years, with the rapid development of the city, the villagers moved away one after another, leaving only empty houses. After long periods of exposure to the wind and sun, weeds had long since grown in front of the houses, roof tiles had fallen to the ground, and the mud walls looked riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse. At the end of the dirt road stood an old restaurant. At this moment, five police cars were parked in front of the restaurant, their warning lights flashing red and blue. People got out of the cars and set up a cordon around the area.

One of the plainclothes officers was shouting into the inner room through a megaphone, "Gentlemen, let's talk this out. Name your conditions, but please don't harm the hostages!"

A moment later, a voice came from deep within the restaurant: "You all get back, or don't blame the bullets for being blind!"

"no problem."

As the plainclothes officer spoke, he immediately turned around and ordered his men to move the cordon back. There was no other way; the other side had hostages in their hands, and the only way to find a breakthrough was to appease them as much as possible. If they chose to use force against a group of desperate criminals, they would only end up with a tragic result.

"A group of young people, having nothing better to do, came to this place late at night, and ended up being kidnapped."

An officer moved the police tape ten meters away and said angrily.

"It's a good thing that young people have a spirit of exploration."

"Someone next to me said."

"What's so good about it? You came here to wander around at night instead of sleeping, and now you've been kidnapped. Is that a good thing?"

The police officer said irritably.

"Have you found the former owner of the restaurant? What's the situation inside now?"

The plainclothes officer interrupted the two men coldly and asked.

"I just called the former owner of the restaurant, and the situation is a bit complicated. There is a large courtyard behind the restaurant, and several houses surround it, making it difficult to get in. The robbers have tied up more than a dozen people in the innermost house. If we want to get in, we have to go through the restaurant first, which is very troublesome because the robbers are right in front of the restaurant, and they will be noticed if there is any movement."

The police officer explained the situation and provided a brief analysis.

"What if we come from behind?"

The plainclothes officer asked again.

"It's even less likely that they'll come back. Judging from the sound, there should be five or six kidnappers. They could easily guard all four sides. If we anger them, we'll only hurt the hostages. Besides, the snipers won't be of any use. It's too dark now, and it's easy to accidentally hurt the hostages if we shoot."

Furthermore, according to reliable sources, these men originally hid some goods in the restaurant, intending to take them away in the next few days. However, these foolish young men happened to run into this group of thugs. The fact that they were willing to take hostages even at the cost of being exposed suggests that there was something illicit inside. Judging from the guns they were carrying, they are a group of desperate criminals and very dangerous.

While listening to his colleague explain the situation, the plainclothes officer instructed the others to monitor the surroundings and prevent the robbers from escaping while the police were not paying attention. After all, it was dark and the surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and a moment's carelessness could allow someone to escape. Especially since the area was remote and there were no streetlights, the current lighting was all provided by the police's own headlights and the headlights of the police cars.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

The police officer questioned the plainclothes officer.

"Hold back for now"

"Don't move. Wait for the robbers to offer new terms. Also, have you notified Liang Zhongping? He's more experienced in these kinds of situations."

The plainclothes officer looked serious. So far, the robbers had only made one demand, but that demand was not enough for them to find a breakthrough. They would have to wait for the robbers to make more demands before they could try to find a breakthrough.

"Don't wait for Liang Zhongping, or the robbers will escape."
