Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 210: The second detective

"This is the director of the Dachang City Police Department," Sun Yi brought Yang Jian to another office.

The room was filled with important personnel from various departments in Dachang City.

A middle-aged man in a shirt smiled and nodded at Yang Jian, "In the future, I hope Detective Yang can contribute to the public security of Dachang City. Our departments will cooperate and assist each other in work matters."

"This is the district mayor of Dongcheng District... and those are the detectives from various police stations."

"In addition, the mayor has official business today and cannot attend this meeting. However, it doesn't have much impact. By the way, Zhao Kaiming, the international detective from Dachang City, you should have met him before."

Sun Yi introduced everyone present one by one, and finally introduced Zhao Kaiming.

From today onwards, their positions and powers are the same.

"Zhao Kaiming?" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and focused on him.

Zhao Kaiming sat there, looking at Yang Jian with a cold expression. He never expected that Yang Jian, who was once assassinated by the Xiaoqiang Club and miraculously survived, would become the second international detective in Dachang City. This was unprecedented in the country.

It should be noted that there are not many detectives in the Asian branch, and some cities don't even have international detectives stationed there.

Yang Jian's appearance undoubtedly revealed a bad signal to him.

"Congratulations, Detective Yang. I hope you can give more assistance to the public security of Dachang City in the future," Zhao Kaiming said with a smile. However, this smile appeared particularly cold.

"I should be the one saying that to Detective Zhao," Yang Jian replied.

If it weren't for this occasion, he might have fought Zhao Kaiming right then and there.

Zhao Kaiming said, "Detective Yang is too polite. Recently, there have been frequent supernatural incidents in Dachang City. With a young and talented international detective like you assisting, I believe the upcoming work will be much easier."

"I hope so," Yang Jian didn't continue the conversation.

At this time, Zhao Kaiming dared to show up, indicating that he was confident that nothing would happen to him in this situation.

Sun Yi continued, "According to the regulations, when an international detective takes over, each department in Dachang City will dispatch a person to form a special task force responsible for your logistics, information support, and department coordination. Yang Jian, you will be the leader of this special task force."

"I think we can temporarily put this matter aside. Dachang City already has a special task force, and adding another one will definitely cause conflicts in work," Yang Jian immediately said.

Sun Yi was puzzled.

He didn't understand Yang Jian's intentions.

The purpose of the special task force was to establish a special department and fully exert the rights of an international detective.

But if Yang Jian didn't form one, it meant giving up most of the rights of an international detective.

"Moreover, before that, there is another very important matter to handle. I believe everyone is already aware of the case that happened in Guanjiang District yesterday," Yang Jian said.

"Indeed, a major shooting case occurred yesterday, specifically targeting an international detective. It had a significant impact. Most of the culprits have been killed, but there are still two main criminals on the run. One is Wang Xiaoqiang from the Xiaoqiang Club, and the other is a member of the club named Ye Feng."

A person in charge of the police station took out a file and projected it for everyone to see.

The others present had a clear understanding, as they received instructions from above last night to handle the matter seriously.

"I am not familiar with the situation of each department present, and I will not interfere with their work. But I have only one goal now, which is to find these two individuals, locate them, and lead the operation to kill them, not giving them a chance to escape," Yang Jian said, looking at Zhao Kaiming beside him.

Zhao Kaiming narrowed his eyes. He knew that Yang Jian was using this opportunity to warn him.

"The Xiaoqiang Club is in Dongcheng District, so I will be in charge of this operation," a middle-aged man in uniform said in a deep voice. "Such criminals cannot be left alone. I will personally command the operation and hope that all colleagues will cooperate to solve the case and capture the culprits within three days."

"Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng are Ghost Manipulators and cannot be captured, only killed," Yang Jian said.

The others felt a chill in their hearts, their expressions becoming serious.

It seemed that the term "Ghost Manipulator" carried some kind of taboo.

"I will take responsibility for the consequences. It won't be chaotic. I just don't know when we can start the operation," Yang Jian asked.

"The operation can start as early as this afternoon," the middle-aged man in uniform said.

"Alright, then let's start this afternoon.""This guy is really ruthless. I used to think that he was just an ignorant student, but now it seems that I have underestimated him. The more he acts like this, the more it proves that my previous speculation is correct. In the future, there will be either him or me in Dachang City. It's a pity that Wang Yue encountered a problem, otherwise we would have been able to get rid of him yesterday." Zhao Kaiming's face was particularly gloomy.

If it wasn't for bad luck, he happened to encounter the "Ghost Knocking on the Door" incident, and Wang Yue died in the Ghost Domain. How did things evolve into this?

This Yang Jian is really lucky. Man proposes, God disposes. He escaped from this deadly situation.

It would be quite difficult to plan the next move against him.

If Yang Jian knew Zhao Kaiming's thoughts, he would find it very laughable.

Luck?

He has never relied on luck to survive. Since the first supernatural incident, he has relied on his own abilities. The outbreak of the Ghost Knocking on the Door incident was also because Yang Jian had made early arrangements.

Zhao Kaiming thought to himself, "I wonder if Wang Xiaoqiang heard the news and ran away. If not, Wang Xiaoqiang is probably going to die here today."

He still hoped that Wang Xiaoqiang could escape.

This way, Yang Jian's attention would temporarily not be focused on him.

But this was too difficult.

Because this time it was not an individual action, but the entire security forces of Dachang City acting together. Wang Xiaoqiang became the number one wanted criminal.

Even if Yang Jian spared him today, the country would not spare him.

Soon, the meeting ended.

Yang Jian's appointment as a criminal investigator this time was also over.

Many steps were skipped, and even the special action team belonging to Yang Jian was not formed.

Although Yang Jian is now a criminal investigator, it is equivalent to just having a title.

But this also fits Yang Jian's thoughts.

He only needs a convenient identity for action and the privileges of a criminal investigator. For now, let Zhao Kaiming worry about the supernatural incidents in Dachang City. After dealing with Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng, he will then deal with Zhao Kaiming, and finally consider taking over the security of Dachang City completely.

The road must be taken step by step, without haste.

"Yang Jian, you have an operation this afternoon. Where are you going now?" Just as Yang Jian was about to leave, Sun Yi, who was in charge of the criminal investigator assessment, walked over.

"Going out to have a meal, then prepare and see how to deal with Wang Xiaoqiang." Yang Jian said, "The next steps should not be under your jurisdiction, right?"

"Of course not under my jurisdiction. My task has already been completed. I'm just hungry and want to have a meal together. Is that okay?" Sun Yi said.

"No problem."

"You treat." Sun Yi said.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Yang Jian said.

"How about lobster and steak? It would be great if we could have a bottle of red wine." Sun Yi said.

After a while.

Inside a hotel.

Sun Yi was devouring the steak and lobster as if he hadn't eaten for days, with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Have you been hungry for a long time?" Yang Jian was taken aback.

"No, I had breakfast this morning."

Sun Yi mumbled, "This food is so delicious. I have never eaten it in my life. I just said it casually before, but I didn't expect you to actually be willing to treat me to such an expensive meal. You are a good person. If you don't mind, can you treat me to meals frequently in the future?"

"Waiter, bring three more servings. I'll pack them later."

"... " Yang Jian.

Sun Yi started crying while eating.

"Why are you crying?" Yang Jian asked again.

While crying, Sun Yi said, "I said too little just now. I shouldn't have packed three servings. I want to pack ten servings now. I feel so regretful."

"Then I'll pack twenty servings for you later." Yang Jian felt like he had encountered a foodie.

"Do you mind chatting? You are also a Ghost Tamer."

"Yes, you are too, right? How else could you take on this job?" Sun Yi said.

Yang Jian said, "It's just a simple assessment. Ordinary people can handle it too, right?"

"Ordinary people can't do it. What if they are controlled by a Ghost Tamer? There have been cases like this before." Sun Yi said.

"That makes sense." Yang Jian thought for a moment.

Indeed, it would be a huge disadvantage for an ordinary person to assess a Ghost Tamer. If they encountered some tricky Ghost Tamers, they might even lose their lives.

"You haven't been in this line of work for long, right?" Yang Jian asked.

"How did you know? Indeed, I've only been in this line of work for less than three months." Sun Yi said, "You too, right? You became a Ghost Tamer just over a month ago."

Yang Jian said, "Will you participate in the operation to capture Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng?"

"It depends on the situation. I have to wait for the notification from above." Sun Yi said.

"At this time, they sent you to assess me, which means they have the intention to support. You don't need to wait for the notification anymore. Join me in the operation this afternoon." Yang Jian said.Inviting him for this meal was also a consideration to recruit Sun Yi as a helper.

"I can't make that decision, I can't break the rules," Sun Yi said. "We must follow orders in all actions, don't you know that? What if you die prematurely from misusing the power of the fierce ghosts? I haven't paid off my mortgage yet, I can't just die like that, I have to struggle for at least another year."

"You still have a mortgage to pay?" Yang Jian looked at him with a strange expression.

Sun Yi said, "Of course, is there a problem?"

"No, no problem," Yang Jian said.

Ghost tamers make money quite quickly, so why is Sun Yi still so poor?

In fact, the reason why Sun Yi is so poor is because after he became a ghost tamer, he joined the Asian Criminal Police Division. Through training, he found that he was not suitable to be a criminal police officer, so he turned to be a liaison and assessor.

He leaned more towards a clerical position.

Because he joined early and didn't have much achievement, he could only rely on his salary and subsidies to live.

For ordinary people, this salary and subsidy are already very high. Sun Yi initially thought he had made a fortune, but after handing over his salary card to his mother and buying a house, he realized that he was still a poor man.

So, it's not that Sun Yi can't make money, it's just that he is an honest person who doesn't know how to use his abilities to make money.

"By the way, I forgot to remind you, the previous assessment was not meaningless. The higher-ups will decide how to arrange you based on your assessment answers." During the meal, Sun Yi suddenly blurted out, "The international police system may be changed in the future."

"How will it change?" Yang Jian asked.

"I'm not sure, but some rigid systems will be removed to make it more free and relaxed. The current international police system has flaws. At first, when there were few supernatural events, the existence of international police could cope. Now, with the increase in supernatural events, relying on one police officer in a city is not enough, so changes must be made to fully utilize the power of civilian ghost tamers. I'm not very clear about the specifics."

"But the principle remains the same, there is only one police officer in a city. You will know in the future. Also, I have seen your file, you have solved several supernatural events, you will definitely have a future. Zhao Jianguo pays special attention to you."

Yang Jian said, "Of course he pays attention to me, I saved his position."

If it weren't for him rescuing Tong Qian last time, Zhao Jianguo would probably have resigned.

"I didn't mean that, what I meant was, if you have the chance in the future, please take care of him," Sun Yi said.

"......"
