Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

"This... is probably due to their carelessness."

Zhang Yun met Tian Gang's gaze, scratched his head, and smiled shyly, "They probably think I'm just a high school student, they didn't expect that I was hiding a Silver Naga."

Tian Gang said with a straight face, "I remember that Fei San also has a Silver Naga Card, and it's at least Tier 2."

"I don't know about that..." Zhang Yun shrugged and replied, "Anyway, he didn't summon any cards; he just jumped off the seventh floor..."

Tian Gang nodded again, closed his notebook, and said, "Judging from your answer, you should have acted in legitimate self-defense."

"However, two lives have been lost, and the community has been thrown into a state of panic. According to procedure, you will need to come with me to the police station to assist with further investigation."

Zhang Yun frowned and said, "Officer, can I not go?"

"The school has a placement test tomorrow, which is very important to me."

"Whether I can get promoted from the inferior class to the superior class depends on this opportunity."

Tian Gang put away his notebook, stood up, and said, "I'll have the guys in the station take your statement as soon as possible."

"I'll try to get you home before 2 PM."

"Of course...provided that you cooperate fully and truthfully recount everything that happened tonight."

"The students will definitely cooperate!" Zhang Yun stood up and patted his chest to assure them.

"Sit down and eat some noodles first. After you're done, come back to the station with me."

"good!"

Zhang Yun sat down and buried his head in his noodles.

Tian Gang left the sofa and walked straight to the damaged balcony, looking down at the flowerbed below.

Beside a huge crater in the flowerbed, Su Qing and other police officers were investigating and collecting the remains of the body.

Tian Gang's gaze fell on the crater, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He secretly made an estimate in his mind...

The damage it caused was far beyond what a first-tier magical beast could accomplish.

Let alone a Tier 1, Stage 5 Silver Naga, even a Tier 1, Stage 5 Four-Armed Golden Naga General might not be able to achieve this effect...

The boy was clearly lying.

However, Tian Gang did not want to delve into it further.

He knew... the Hyena Squad members were there to kill this boy, and being killed in return was his just deserts.

However, he wanted to find out the hyena squad's motives.

Was it a simple case of burglary and murder, or was it carried out under someone else's orders?

These two are very different.

If it were just a simple case of burglary and murder, the case could be closed once the police department apprehended Scarface and his accomplice.

But if someone hires a hitman to commit murder, that's a different story.

We need to dig deeper and find the mastermind behind this in order to protect the boy.

Thinking of this, Tian Gang returned to the living room. At this time, Zhang Yun had finished his bowl of noodles and stood up holding the law book.

"Officer, I've finished eating. I can go with you now."

"Let's go."

Tian Gang did not put electronic shackles on Zhang Yun, but turned around and walked towards the door. Zhang Yun, wearing the cast iron codex, followed closely behind.

...

After going downstairs, Deputy Captain Han Li and veteran driver He Dong immediately came over.

Han Li glanced at Zhang Yun behind Tian Gang and asked with a smile:

"Boss, what's going on?"

Tian Gang calmly stated, "It was a case of burglary, murder, and robbery; the homeowner acted in self-defense."

Han Li glanced at the cast-iron codex in Zhang Yun's arms and asked with a smile, "Was it this young man who turned the tables?"

Tian Gang nodded and said:

"I'm taking him back to the station to give a statement now. You guys check the scene again. Also... notify the remaining two members of the Hyena Squad to come to the station as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigation."

"Issu an arrest warrant before noon tomorrow."

"Yes, boss!"

"Yes, sir!"

Watching the two leave, Han Li revealed a meaningful smile: "Hey, Fatty Dong, do you believe that kid killed Fatty Three and Ghost Hand from the Hyena Squad?"

Even a dog wouldn't believe that.

He Dong smiled and said, "Fatty San and Ghost Hand used to hang out in underground arenas, so they have extremely strong combat skills."

"Even without summoning card beasts, they are far beyond the reach of ordinary iron-casting beast masters."

"That kid definitely lied to the boss."

He Dong turned to look at the apartment building and guessed, "I bet there's another summoner hiding in this building. They must be quite strong, maybe a third-tier silver-level one."

"That kid said he killed the person, perhaps to take responsibility and protect that summoner."

"Brother Li, should we go upstairs and continue the investigation?"

"There's no need."

Han Li put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "Killing the hyena squad's beasts is doing a service to the people, we don't need to investigate further."

"It would be best if that summoner could secretly take care of the remaining Scarface and Bat, so that we, the police inspector, wouldn't have to make the arrests."

"Hehe, that's true."

He Dong looked at Su Qing, who was inspecting the scene not far away, and said, "Let's go call Qing, let's go get some late-night snacks, and then go home to rest."

"good!"

With the two thugs killed, Han Li and He Dong were in high spirits and went to call their teammates...

...

A moment later, the police car slowly came to a stop in front of the police station.

As soon as Zhang Yun got out of the car, he saw Lin Yan standing prettily at the entrance of the police station.

Beside her stood a bespectacled man in a suit and tie, clearly a shrewd lawyer.

"Sister Lin, I'm here!" Zhang Yun waved to her immediately.

Lin Yan looked in his direction, a bright smile on her face, and walked briskly towards him in her high heels.

The man in the suit behind him, carrying a briefcase, hurried after him...
