Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

If the criminal is truly skilled at manipulating water and can move freely in it to harm innocent people, then...

So how exactly should He Li resolve this?

Yu Ji couldn't think of any way He Li could do anything.

The same applies to Zhao Hu and Zhou Xin.

Although He Li's supernatural powers are indeed heaven-defying...

He might be able to find a monster skilled in water magic, devour it, and then gain control of its abilities, but finding such a monster isn't something that can be done easily.

"Don't mention your solutions yet."

"Given the current situation, we might only encounter the criminal at night."

Coming to his senses, Yu Ji spoke.

He Li nodded slightly: "Then let's go!"

"Let's find a place to wait and see."

Having said that, he quickly left.

The others immediately followed, and at the same time, Deng Changfeng also received a message from the Sky Eye Department, and they hurriedly rushed to He Li's vicinity...

"Hehe, Brother Deng is really smart."

"Even if Chang Wei can't get any questions out of them, he can keep an eye on He Li and the others' movements!"

"This Chengdu is, after all, our territory."

"Keeping an eye on them is easy."

"That's right. As long as we follow them... when new leads or criminals emerge, it will be a test of everyone's true abilities and who can move the fastest."

"Then why does He Li want to steal our mission?"

"Hmph, let's see who steals from whom!"

Where He Li and his group were resting and waiting, Deng Changfeng and his group, who had also arrived, were sitting in a corner, staring at He Li in the distance and discussing him with ill intent.

Meanwhile, at the Chengdu Special Bureau...

"What?! You messed up again?!?!"

"How exactly are the classical texts arranged?"

"Go apologize...go give gifts, how could you possibly mess this up?"

"Is he a complete waste?!"

All that could be heard was Hong Tian's extremely annoyed voice.

Upon hearing this, the Skynet investigator in charge of the report stammered, "At that time... what was the reason for... having no law enforcement authority yet insisting on enforcing the law..."

"And then...and that's when things got sour..."

"Who knew that Kyoto had already noticed he'd been granted nationwide law enforcement authority?"

"He became even more arrogant after getting that authority."

"Minister Dian and the others are just giving in..."

"He won't accept it no matter what!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed in Hong Tian's eyes.

He Li's law enforcement authority... actually... when Li Qing recommended He Li to participate in the competition, he mentioned giving him temporary law enforcement authority so that he could come over and investigate some cases.

Hong Tian forgot about the matter after receiving news from Lin Fan.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

If he had granted temporary enforcement authority earlier...

That's probably not true anymore.

Thinking of this, Hong Tian felt both angry and helpless.

"And what about them now? Everyone else is back, so what are Dian Shuda and Deng Changfeng doing? They caused such a big mess and they're still making things worse for me outside?"

After trying to calm himself down, Hong Tian pressed for more information.

The investigators from the Sky Eye Department dared not conceal anything.

He explained in detail the idea that Dian Shuda and the others wanted to atone for their crimes with good deeds.

Including later, Deng Changfeng contacted the Skynet (Skynet) and asked them to track and monitor He Li...

"Good, good, that's really impressive."

"I don't have the ability to investigate cases myself."

"Just following behind others, trying to steal their credit?"

"They have absolutely no shame!"

"If word gets out, who won't laugh at us?"

Hong Tian was so angry he laughed.

He was suddenly shocked to realize that there were so many problematic members in his Rongcheng Special Bureau. He hadn't noticed them before, as they hadn't caused any major trouble.

Now, for whatever reason, good heavens, they've sprung up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Then look at the Special Bureau of Bacheng...

This is truly dazzling!

The more Hong Tian thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Upon seeing this, the Sky Eye investigator hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking...

"Chief, actually..."

"You don't need to be too angry."

"Although Deng Changfeng and his group acted improperly, they did indeed find clues. It was He Li who suddenly intervened and stole the information that should have been theirs."

"Now that Deng Changfeng and his group are taking it, well... that's just a matter of reciprocity."

"Besides..."

He paused, subtly glancing at Hong Tian's face, noticing that he only frowned and didn't erupt in anger...

He continued, "Besides, the competition among Special Bureau investigators is all about individual ability. The process isn't important; what matters most is who solves the case in the end."

"If Deng Changfeng and his team... really manage to snatch new clues from He Li and solve the case..."

"Who cares if the clues were stolen?"

Even if someone does mention it...

"We have our own explanation too!"

"They took it first."

After he finished speaking, Hong Tian fell silent.

Seeing this, the investigator added, "Director, you don't need to worry that Deng Changfeng and his group can't compete. As for He Li... according to Bacheng, he's just a newcomer."

"Although I've heard he's very powerful, judging from his supernatural abilities... it seems to be a kind of telekinetic control ability."

"But Deng Changfeng and his team have been in the Special Affairs Bureau for a year now."

"Their strength is definitely above He Li's."

"No problem!"

Hearing this, Hong Tian finally spoke.

He said coldly, "Tell Deng Changfeng and the others that it would be best if they could really solve the Soul Qi case to salvage our reputation, and at the same time show the Kyoto side our capabilities."

"But if they can't solve the case, not only will Dian Shuda lose his position..."

"They can forget about getting promoted again!"

"No, they won't even be able to keep their current ranks!"

"Also, keep a close eye on the Heavenly Eye."

"The matter on He Li's side is very important; we need to prevent any idiots from pulling any more tricks!"

After he finished speaking, the investigator nodded quickly.

Hong Tian sighed as he watched him leave.

He was starting to struggle to keep up with He Li's relentless attacks from the Rongcheng Special Bureau.

If we don't try to salvage our reputation...

If we don't do something to show Kyoto what's going on...

Not only will the Chengdu Special Bureau be discredited, but Kyoto will also reduce its resource supply. Hong Tian had no other choice but to think that perhaps Deng Changfeng and his team could give it a try.

"Deng Changfeng and his team are quite capable."

"In any case, it should be better than He Li."

"This...should be fine!"

Hong Tian pondered to himself.

"Li Qing mentioned his situation before..."

He said He Licai only stayed at the Special Bureau for two or three days.

Previously, He Li seemed to be just an ordinary person.

"No matter how strong his supernatural abilities are, his growth is limited because he has only been in the Special Affairs Bureau for a short time."

"Li Qing's claim of having the strength of a hundred tons and mastering the true essence of martial arts, along with his supposed innate martial arts saintly body, is a gross exaggeration. After all, if he were that powerful, wouldn't he be stronger than Lin Fan?"

"But how many Lin Fans are there in the whole country?"

Hong Tian shook his head at this thought.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Lin Fan didn't come to Chengdu specifically to participate in the Five Cities Conference."

"And what brings him here?"

Thinking of Lin Fan's purpose, Hong Tian stood up and quickly walked towards the private room that had been specially prepared for Lin Fan. He felt that he still had to ask Lin Fan about his purpose in person.

As time passed, night fell.

The vibrant nightlife of Chengdu is just beginning.

On the river flowing through the city, lanterns floated slowly into the distance.

Many tourists gathered by the riverbank, stood on the bridge to look out and take selfies, hoping to catch a glimpse of the legendary "fairy figure." He Li and his companions also began their operation after applying some makeup.

After all, their investigators' attire was too conspicuous.

He Li and Yu Ji disguised themselves as tourists.

They rented a bamboo raft and paddled along the current.

In the distance, Deng Changfeng stared at He Li and sneered, "If someone is willing to risk their life to find clues and suspects for us, then we're saved from doing it ourselves."

As he spoke, he looked at the others.

"You all keep a close eye on your surroundings too!"

"If they discover anything, intercept them immediately!"

"This time, we absolutely cannot let them get there first again."

"The chief has already said that if we can solve the case smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems."

"If we can't break through this barrier, our future is ruined!"

After he finished speaking, the others nodded solemnly.

They then dispersed and took up positions, keeping their eyes fixed on He Li and the surrounding area, waiting for the result.

And what about them...?

Of course, they had already discovered Deng Changfeng and his gang long ago.

However, He Li didn't care.

Trying to steal his credit? Do you think they can compete?

With a single thought, those people would have to kneel down!

In the end, they will still be able to watch helplessly as they bring criminals to justice, gain merit, obtain new clues, and then continue to cause trouble for the mastermind behind the scenes, the Bailong Society...

As he was thinking this, He Li suddenly heard some movement on the water ahead.

Crash!!

With the sound of water, he subconsciously looked up, only to find that fog had risen in front of him...
