"Come in."

A deep voice came from inside.

As Luo Fei pushed open the door, he saw a tall, well-built man standing with his back to them by the window.

Hearing footsteps, the man's sharp gaze swept over the three of them.

"Captain Xu, I have a favor to ask."

Wan Qiang got straight to the point.

"Luo Fei from our second team needs urgent firearms training. He will take the gun license test in three days."

Xu Ao's gaze fell on Luo Fei, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

"The deputy captain of Criminal Investigation Team Two doesn't know how to use a gun?"

His tone was clearly sarcastic.

"That's really interesting."

Luo Fei met his gaze with an innocent smile on his face.

"Thank you for your help, Captain Xu."

Xu Ao glanced at his watch.

"I have something to do right now, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the office, leaving the three of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

Half an hour later, Xu Ao returned, followed by seven or eight members of Team One.

"Captain Xu, I heard you're going to give a firearms lesson to the Second Team?"

One of the team members asked with a grin.

Can we observe and learn from this?

Xu Ao feigned hesitation.

"this."

"Please, Captain Xu!"

Another teammate egged them on.

"We want to see how the three-time champion Kyoto Police Academy teaches!"

Xu Ao nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, but everyone be quiet and don't disturb the teaching."

Luo Fei's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He was all too familiar with these workplace tricks. Xu Ao had clearly brought people here on purpose to humiliate him, this "gun idiot," in front of everyone.

"Let's go to the shooting range."

Xu Ao led the way to the elevator, with his team members following excitedly behind, occasionally turning back to look at Luo Fei with mocking eyes.

The shooting training center of Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Brigade occupies the entire basement level, covering an area of ​​over 1,000 square meters.

Xu Ao walked into the armory with practiced ease, and a moment later came out with a pistol and several bullet boxes.

"Type 92 9mm pistol."

He brandished the gun in his hand.

"Standard police equipment."

Wan Qiang spoke up.

"Captain Xu, they must pass the test and obtain their gun licenses within two or three days. You know the rules: police rank, legal knowledge, usage and maintenance skills, and live-fire shooting test."

"I'm not worried about Chen Xuanran."

Xu Ao glanced at the policewoman.

"His shooting performance at the police academy was excellent. As for Deputy Captain Luo..."

He deliberately dragged out the tone.

"Three days? That's a bit difficult."

Luo Fei maintained his smile and did not respond.

Xu Ao walked to the firing position, suddenly turned around, pointed the gun down, and handed the pistol to Luo Fei.

"Do you know this?"

Luo Fei shook his head, his expression innocent.

"do not know."

"what!"

Xu Ao raised his eyebrows dramatically and turned to Chen Xuanran.

"What about you?"

"Type 92 9mm pistol".

Chen Xuanran answered quickly.

"very good."

Xu Ao nodded approvingly, then looked meaningfully at Luo Fei.

"Look at them, they have solid professional knowledge. Unlike some people, who don't study and just watch Japanese adult films, right?"

The team members burst into laughter.

Luo Fei noticed that Chen Xuanran's ears were red, but she bit her lip and didn't say anything.

"Alright, class is in session."

Xu Ao put away his joking expression and began to explain.

"The Type 92 pistol is a modern police pistol independently developed in my country, characterized by its large magazine capacity, high power, and good stopping power."

His explanation was professional and detailed, covering everything from the differences between police and military pistols to the development background of the Type 92 replacing the Type 54, and then to the design of the double-stack, double-feed magazine and the characteristics of the front sight. He spoke at length for nearly ten minutes.

"In short, the Type 92 is an excellent representative of the police firearms used in Daxia and is deeply trusted by the people's police."

After Xu Ao finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a few seconds.

The team members immediately applauded, and some even whistled in support.

Luo Fei's face was full of bewilderment.

"Understand?"

Xu Ao raised an eyebrow and asked.

Luo Fei blinked.

"understood?"

"Really?"

Xu Ao looked incredulous.

"Then repeat what I just said."

Chen Xuanran gasped, and the other team members exchanged surprised glances. How could they possibly repeat such a long and professional explanation after only hearing it once?

Luo Fei laughed.

"Okay."

The images and sounds of Xu Ao explaining things flashed through his mind.

Since acquiring the "Super Gun Skill," his memory seems to have also received an incredible boost.

The Type 92 pistol is a modern police pistol independently developed in my country.

Luo Fei opened his eyes and began to repeat Xu Ao's explanation word for word.

The team members were incredulous, while Wan Qiang was astonished and Chen Xuanran covered his mouth.

The person most shocked was Xu Ao himself.

His expression shifted from disdain to surprise, then to disbelief, and finally settled into a complex, frozen state.

"Deeply trusted by the people's police."

Luo Fei finished perfectly, then smiled easily.

"Captain Xu, did I repeat it word for word?"

The shooting range was completely silent.

"Holy crap, what kind of memory is this?"

One of the team members couldn't help but swear.

Xu Ao's expression shifted between light and dark. He stared at Luo Fei for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"What good is a good memory? Handling firearms relies on manual dexterity, not memorization."

As he spoke, he walked towards the shooting platform, picked up a Type 92 pistol, and disassembled it with fluid movements, the parts neatly arranged on the table.

"Watch closely, now that's real skill."

Xu Ao glanced at Luo Fei provocatively, then picked up a black cloth and blindfolded himself, his hands flitting among the parts like butterflies flitting among flowers.

In less than twenty seconds, a complete pistol reappeared in his hand.

"Clap clap clap."

The team members applauded enthusiastically.

"Captain Xu is awesome!"

"That speed, it's a record-breaking speed, isn't it?"

Xu Ao removed the black cloth and looked at Luo Fei triumphantly.

"Want to give it a try?"

Luo Fei stepped forward and, under Xu Ao's guidance, clumsily disassembled the pistol.

His fingers seemed to have a mind of their own, and he nearly dropped the parts several times. Reassembling them was even more chaotic, taking a full minute to barely complete.

"what!"

Xu Ao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"With this level of skill, you want to be a criminal investigator? I doubt you can even hold a gun properly."

Chen Xuanran couldn't stand it anymore.

"Captain Xu, Luo Fei is a newcomer and needs time to practice."

"Newbie?"

Xu Ao scoffed.

"Didn't the police academy teach basic firearms? Come on, Officer Chen, you give it a try."

Chen Xuanran took the pistol, and although his movements were not as smooth as Xu Ao's, he still managed to disassemble and reassemble it in a respectable manner, taking less than forty seconds.

"not bad."

Xu Ao nodded, then turned to Luo Fei with a mocking expression.

"Look at those policewomen, they're better than you."

Luo Fei pursed his lips, offering no rebuttal.

He is indeed not good at handling firearms, but that doesn't mean he will always be.

Next up is shooting practice.

Xu Ao first explained the basic principles.

"Load, disengage safety, aim, fire. Remember, the gun is an extension of your arm; breathe steadily, and pull the trigger gently."

He personally demonstrated, his posture was textbook perfect, and he hit the bullseye with ten consecutive shots, the bullet holes almost overlapping.

"So accurate!"

"No wonder he's a three-time consecutive shooting champion!"

Xu Ao lowered his gun and looked at Luo Fei.

"It's your turn."

Luo Fei loaded and aimed according to the instructions, but his first shot went astray. Of the next five shots, only three were close to hitting the target, while the rest missed.

"Hahaha!"

Xu Ao and his team burst into laughter.

"With this level of skill, he probably won't get a gun license in three years."

Chen Xuanran frowned.

"Captain Xu, isn't it inappropriate to mock a newcomer like that?"

"I am telling the truth."

Xu Ao shrugged.

"Luo Fei, I suggest you give up your firearm qualification. You won't need it anyway, so it's a waste of resources." Luo Fei clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it.

He said calmly.

"Captain Xu is right, I do lack talent when it comes to firearms."

“It’s good to be self-aware.”

Xu Ao patted his shoulder, but the force was so strong it felt like he was hitting someone.

"That's enough for today. I can't teach you as my apprentice."

He turned to leave, and the rest of the team started to jeer.

"Captain Xu, don't go! Teach us some more!"

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Wan Qiang walked in.

"Wow, it's so lively here? How's the training going?"

Xu Ao stopped in his tracks, looking displeased.

"Captain Wan, I can't teach your apprentice. Not only is he lacking in talent, but he also has a bad temper and is not humble at all."

Chen Xuanran immediately retorted.

"It was clearly Captain Xu who was mocking Luo Fei!"

"laugh at?"

Xu Ao sneered.

"I was just telling the truth. Officer Chen is protecting him so much, could it be..."

"Xu Ao!"

Luo Fei suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xu Ao.

He walked up to Xu Ao, his eyes blazing.

"Since you think I'm so bad, do you dare to have a match with me?"

"Compared to what?"

Xu Ao raised an eyebrow.

"Let's have a shooting contest."

Luo Fei said, emphasizing each word.

"Just like the shooting event we just had, ten bullets, the one with the highest score wins."

The shooting range fell silent instantly; everyone was in disbelief.

Xu Ao was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"You? Try to outshoot me? Do you even know who I am?"

"I know he's a three-time shooting champion."

Luo Fei remained unfazed.

"What, you don't dare?"

Xu Ao's smile froze on his face.

He scrutinized Luo Fei closely, then suddenly realized something.

"Were you pretending to be weak just now?"

Luo Fei did not give a direct answer.

"Bet or not?"

"interesting."

Xu Ao seemed to be deep in thought.

"What's the stakes?"

Luo Fei's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Whoever loses has to bark like a dog three times in public."

"what?!"

Xu Ao's expression changed drastically.

The entire shooting range erupted in chaos.

Wan Qiang hurriedly stepped forward.

"Luo Fei! Have you gone mad?"

Chen Xuanran grabbed Luo Fei's arm, his voice trembling with anxiety.

"Luo Fei! Don't be impulsive! Xu Ao is a professional!"

The team members then started to jeer.

"Captain Xu, answer it! What are you afraid of!"

"Is this kid asking for it?"

Xu Ao carefully examined Luo Fei.

Luo Fei's eyes were unusually calm, even expectant.

"Ah."

Xu Ao suddenly laughed.

"Luo Fei, have you been through something traumatic? Should I help you contact a psychologist?"

Luo Fei ignored his sarcasm and simply repeated calmly.

"To gamble, or not to gamble?"

The shooting range fell silent as everyone held their breath, waiting for Xu Ao's answer.

Xu Ao's brain was working at lightning speed.

Luo Fei's performance today was indeed unusual, but no matter how unusual it was, it was impossible for him to jump from a passing level to a professional level in just a few days.

This is definitely a great opportunity to humiliate him!

"it is good!"

Xu Ao suddenly slapped his thigh.

"I'll take it! But..."

He looked around.

"We need witnesses to prevent some people from defaulting on their debts after losing."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Just to my liking."

He suddenly raised his voice.

"Since we're going to gamble, why don't we all join in? I'll set up a betting line, with odds of 6 to 1 for Xu Ao to win."

"what?!"

Wan Qiang was somewhat shocked.
"Luo Fei, you..."

The entire shooting range erupted in uproar once again.

"You've got it backwards, haven't you?"

One of the team members burst out laughing.

"The odds should be 6 to 1 for you to win!"

"Is this kid bad at math?"

"It's a sure thing, you can make money without losing anything!"

Chen Xuanran was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Luo Fei! What are you thinking?"

Luo Fei didn't explain, but simply took out his wallet from his pocket, slapped all the cash inside, about two thousand yuan, on the table.

"This is my initial capital. Those who want to place bets should hurry up."

Xu Ao's teammates looked at each other in bewilderment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, money delivered right to my door!"

"I'll bet five hundred!"

"I'll go 800!"

Soon, the table was piled high with banknotes.

After carefully counting, Luo Fei announced.

"A total of four thousand two."

He turned to Wan Qiang.

"Captain, aren't you going to participate?"

Wan Qiang's face turned ashen.

"Luo Fei, do you need to go to the hospital? I'll take you to see a psychologist after this."

Chen Xuanran sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Luo Fei, it's not too late to back out now."

"Regret it?"

Xu Ao suddenly interrupted, afraid that the duck he had almost gotten his hands on would fly away.

"With so many witnesses, you can't back out now!"

He couldn't wait to get to his shooting position.

"How to compare?"

Luo Fei looked at Wan Qiang.

"Captain, isn't there a gun-carrying qualification test today? Let's follow the test standards: ten bullets at a 100-meter fixed target."

Wan Qiang frowned.

"Are you sure? That's a professional assessment standard."

"Please make the arrangements, Captain."

Luo Fei's tone was resolute.

Wan Qiang sighed and beckoned over Teacher Li, who was in charge of the shooting assessment.

When the gray-haired old instructor heard that Luo Fei was going to take an exam, his glasses almost fell off.

"Luo Fei?"

Teacher Li pushed up his glasses.

"You only scored 62 on the last mock exam. Are you sure you want to take the formal assessment now?"

Luo Fei nodded.

"Please let Teacher Li be the referee."

Teacher Li glanced at the two men who were on the verge of exchanging blows, then at the pile of money on the table, and shook his head helplessly.

"Young man, alright, let's go with the usual assessment rules. Ten bullets each, 100-meter fixed target, 100 points in total. 60 points is the passing mark."

Xu Ao sneered.

"I'll go first."

He strode to the firing position, skillfully put on his earmuffs, and inspected the weapon.

The entire shooting range fell silent, and everyone held their breath and stared intently.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Xu Ao's shooting rhythm was steady and precise, with almost no pauses in firing ten bullets.

After firing the final shot, he casually removed his earmuff, turned to face the crowd, and his face was full of confidence.

Teacher Li pressed the button, and the target slid along the track.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd when the target paper was fully unfolded.

"Ten rings! All ten rings!"

"Perfect score! That's amazing!"

"Captain Xu is awesome!"

On Xu Ao's target paper, ten bullet holes are evenly distributed in the innermost ring, forming a perfect circle.

He looked at Luo Fei smugly. (End of Chapter)
