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

Upon seeing He Li's arrival, the head of the Tianyan Department of the Lecheng Special Bureau was filled with anxiety, wondering if He Li would come after him and also worried that He Li would take action against him.

He quickly racked his brains for a solution.

He didn't want to end up like those people in Rongcheng...

I heard that this time, the heads of the Heavenly Eye, Wind Foot, and Fierce Fang departments of the Chengdu Special Bureau have all been dealt with.

Even the bureau chief, Hong Tian, ​​was held accountable.

He didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

"Sitting idly by and waiting to die is definitely not a good idea."

"How about... you take the initiative to go see him?"

"Take the initiative to see him, no matter what... make your attitude clear. Even if he knows I didn't take his message to heart, he shouldn't embarrass me too much."

"After all, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you, can you?"

With this thought in mind, the head of Lecheng Tianyan Department could no longer sit still and immediately got up and left.

Meanwhile, at the site where the Buddha statue was broken...

"This large Buddha statue is not a monster."

"It seems... that someone is remotely manipulating and controlling it using some kind of special power?"

He Li looked back at the remains of the Buddha statue and frowned.

Yu Ji also came to her senses at this moment. After listening to He Li's mutterings, she thought for a moment and said, "Someone is controlling it. Doesn't that mean there is indeed a big problem here?"

"Could it be that the ability to revive and manipulate the Buddha originates from some kind of dragon offspring monster?"

"Perhaps the Dragon Lord really will come."

"But... something's not right."

Yu Ji paused for a moment.

She continued, "It seems the person behind this orchestrated such a commotion with the Buddha statue for no particular purpose. It couldn't possibly be... just a display of power or sabotage, could it?"

Indeed, those criminals are not fools.

Take Qin Yuan and his group for example...

They also possessed immense power, and although they had dragon offspring and strange creatures, they dared not act recklessly in a large-scale manner.

At least not until they are driven to the brink.

Because they knew that if they made too much noise and attracted the attention of the top investigators of Great Xia, they would surely die, but... the matter in Lecheng had not even surfaced yet.

The person behind the scenes is not in danger. Why would he create trouble for himself by setting up the Buddha statue at this time?

Yu Ji suspected there was something wrong here.

He Li had, of course, thought of that as well.

After thinking for a couple of seconds...

He squinted and said, "Do you think it's possible that the giant Buddha was deliberately displayed in a high-profile manner to attract our attention and buy time for the Dragon Lord?"

"The Dragon Lord of the Dragon Worship Society is extremely powerful and influential; he must know we're about to find him."

"He needs to eliminate the other dragon offspring to achieve his goal..."

"They'll definitely try to cause us trouble."

"That way he can get down to business."

"Or... he knows I'm powerful and is afraid I'll kill him, so he's trying to mislead me?"

"After all, Song Qinghe, Qin Yuan, and the dragon offspring monsters they possessed all died at my hands. I don't believe he wouldn't be flustered if he knew my strength."

After he finished speaking, Yu Ji nodded.

"That's possible."

Hearing this, Jiang Han pursed her lips.

You might think that people are just stalling for time...

Are you afraid you'll beat me to death?

Why are you deliberately making things so complicated, trying to mislead your investigation just to avoid meeting you?

Does this guy have such a high opinion of himself?

"If the monster in the Dragon Lord's possession is a 'True Dragon,' how could he possibly be afraid of you with his power? A legendary monster like a True Dragon is no joke."

"Even Brother Fan doesn't have the confidence to face and deal with that Dragon Lord and the True Dragon on his own."

"He also contacted other investigators at the prefecture level..."

"That guy is something else."

"You actually think they'd be afraid of you?"

"Why don't you just go to heaven?"

Jiang Han muttered to herself.

In her opinion, the Dragon Lord might find it troublesome and not want to be targeted by the top experts of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is why he acted secretly and chose to avoid He Li and not confront them directly.

But a criminal that powerful could not possibly be truly afraid of a newly emerging genius like He Li.

Why wouldn't people be afraid...?

If things go wrong, they might even consider killing him.

After all, some deranged criminals in this world love to slaughter geniuses.

Just as she was thinking this, He Li suddenly turned to her with a smile and said, "By the way, you can tell Lin Fan about the Buddha statue and ask him to investigate it carefully as well."

Huh? Jiang Han was taken aback when she heard this.

Then he nodded with a strange expression.

She roughly guessed He Li's little scheme.

There's something strange about the Buddha statue.

It's hard to say whether it has anything to do with the Dragon Lord, and He Li is currently keeping an eye on other cases related to the Dragon Lord, and may travel to other cities to provide support at any time.

He didn't have time to stay and investigate thoroughly.

Lin Fan also wanted to find the Dragon Lord, so he wanted to mislead Lin Fan into investigating the Great Buddha...

So that he can keep an eye on the Dragon Lord?

How could this guy be so mean?

Despite her thoughts, she had no choice but to tell Lin Fan about He Li's handling of the Buddha statue, adding that it might be related to the Dragon Lord. She tried to console herself with guilt...

"It's okay. Anyway, Brother Fan said that we should send him a message if He Li makes any moves."

"I'm just following orders."

"Besides, what I reported was true."

"As for the suspicion that it's related to the Dragon Lord..."

"Why are they so suspicious? I was just reporting the facts honestly. I did nothing wrong..."

She muttered to herself.

But Jiang Han didn't notice the mischievous smile and slyness that flashed in the eyes of He Li and Yu Ji when they looked at each other after she sent the message.

Clearly, their purpose was not what Jiang Han thought, but rather they had other ideas.

However, Jiang Han hadn't expected this.

While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts...

As two cars bearing the logo of the Special Bureau arrived, the head of the Tianyan Department of the Special Bureau of Lecheng, along with several other investigators, got out of the cars with beaming smiles and quickly approached He Li.

"Oh, this must be Mr. He?"

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"The Buddha statue that so many of us couldn't handle, you took care of with ease just by coming here."

"As expected of a talent that Kyoto has recognized."

Hmm? This sounds familiar; it seems like the same line of conversation He Li heard from Hong Tian and his group back in Rongcheng. He couldn't help but look up and glance at the fat man approaching him...

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. I am Wang Xiangyang, the head of the Sky Eye Department of the Lecheng Special Bureau..."

Wang Xiangyang said, extending his hand.

He Li did not shake hands with him.

He simply asked coldly, "My previous notice instructed you to keep a close eye on any clues related to the Bailong Society and to notify me if anything unusual happens..."

"It seems you didn't follow instructions? Even the matter of the Buddha statue was something I found out on my own."

"What? The authority Kyoto gave me isn't working?"

"Or perhaps, they look down on me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangyang and the others immediately broke out in a cold sweat and forgot about the embarrassment of He Li not shaking their hands. They hurriedly explained, "How could we dare to look down on you?"

"We...we also felt that we could handle such a small matter as the Buddha statue ourselves."

"You don't need to trouble yourself."

"After all, you still have other cases to investigate..."

"We wouldn't dare to hold you back..."

As they explained, the other investigators from Lecheng who had previously participated in solving the Buddha's case stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

After all, Wang Xiangyang and other managers were usually treated as superiors by them.

When have they ever been this humble?

That's truly the reason.

Only ruthless, fierce, and powerful people like this can make those powerful and wealthy people bow down.

Of course, it's not just them.

Jiang Han was also somewhat bewildered.

It's true that the local special affairs bureau doesn't dare to offend He Li or national-level geniuses like Lin Fan, but they shouldn't be so humble towards He Li, right?

Jiang Han clearly remembered when she and Lin Fan went on business trips to other places to carry out missions...

The local special affairs bureau simply showed some respect.

But when problems arise, they still argue and refuse to give face.

The ministers and bureau chiefs they encountered...

Unlike Wang Xiangyang and his ilk, who are so humble.

What's going on? Is this preferential treatment?

Are there really such big differences between people?

Is He Li's name really that powerful? More awe-inspiring than Lin Fan's? Lin Fan clearly became famous much earlier than He Li; it shouldn't be like this…

Jiang Han couldn't help but scratch her head.

He Li didn't care about these things. He just guessed that these people didn't take his affairs seriously, so he wanted to teach them a lesson.

Now they've given us a show of force.

It's time to get down to business.

But just as he was about to speak...

Suddenly, an investigator approached Wang Xiangyang with a serious expression and whispered something in his ear.

What reason could there be for someone with supernatural hearing?

He Li also heard what they said.

The content, however, surprised him...

"Minister, something strange has happened in Buddha City!"

"A new anomaly has formed in a special space!!!"
