The Hunter's Path: Starting as a constable, ascend to the Old Ones.

range!

Lu Ming took the director's approval slip, retrieved twelve bullets from the gun room, and entered the shooting range, where the police officer in charge stood guard.

"Officer Lu, these are noise-canceling earmuffs."

Thank you.

Lu Ming put on noise-canceling earmuffs, then drew his gun and aimed at the target ten meters away. With three bangs, he fired six shots in a row, and the bullets hit the target directly.

"7 rings!"

"6 rings!"

"8 rings!"

The supervising police officer immediately reported Lu Ming's scores, all of which were hit.

This shooting accuracy is quite good for the police force.

Lu Ming advanced to the Sequence 9 Hunter path, where he had already learned shooting skills. His training at the police academy further improved his marksmanship.

While not a crack shot, hitting the target was not difficult for him.

"Try out a new skill!"

Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction with his shooting performance. The pistol in his hand was a police .38 revolver, which was only .38 caliber and could only hold six bullets. Its lethality was relatively weak, but its advantage was that it had low recoil and would not jam.

He looked at the target, then quickly raised his hand.

Skill--

Aimbot!

Boom!

With the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body, Lu Ming let the revolver fire two shots without even aiming.

"8 rings."

"9 rings."

"9 rings."

The supervising police officer loudly announced the ring number.

Lu Ming was overjoyed. The auto-aim skill really could greatly improve his shooting accuracy. Even if he didn't aim, he could still get high scores every time he turned on "auto-aim".

So... what if you shoot with your eyes closed?

A thought struck him, and with a gentle tap, he flung out the cylinder, ejected the spent cartridges, filled the cylinder with the quickloader, and then pressed it into the chamber. He gripped the gun again and looked at the now-renewed target.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes under the shocked gaze of the supervising officers.

Skill--

Aimbot!

Lu Ming raised his hand and fired. With a series of gunshots, he emptied his magazine in one go, then opened his eyes to check his shooting score.

"9 rings!"

"8 rings!"

……

"10 rings!"

"Total score: 55 rings!"

The supervising officer announced the results with a look of shock, his gaze toward Lu Ming carrying a strange mix of incomprehension and admiration.

Shooting with eyes closed not only results in every shot hitting the target, but also in remarkable accuracy, achieving better results than aiming with eyes open.

This is incredible.

Lu Ming was also pleasantly surprised to see that the bullet holes from the shots were mostly in the middle of the target. The "auto-aiming" was like having a cheat code; even if he closed his eyes and didn't look at the target, he could hit the target every time.

He put away his gun with satisfaction, ending his target practice session.

……

"Hello, Central Police Station Major Crimes Unit... What? Your cat is missing? This isn't under our jurisdiction, I'll take it to the Lost and Found Unit for you."

Lu Ming hung up the phone and got up to stretch.

The Serious Crimes Unit was deserted; most of its members had been sent out to patrol the streets and search for Ji Zhengxiong, who had sneaked back to Hong Kong Island.

He was the only one who stayed behind in the Major Crimes Unit because he had just returned from vacation, and he was getting back to familiar with his work.

……

Now, plainclothes police officers across the Hong Kong Island Police Force, following orders from their superiors, are patrolling the streets in an attempt to bring Ji Zhengxiong, who has sneaked back to Hong Kong Island, to justice.

The West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit is no exception.

After dismantling the Vietnamese gang, the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit gained a great reputation on Hong Kong Island, and all the officers in the unit were proud of it.

In this context, their enthusiasm for handling cases is at its peak.

"We are from the CID. Sir, could you please show me your ID and take off your hat?"

Waterloo, Mong Kok.

Three plainclothes police officers from the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit were checking all suspicious persons on the street. Their eyes were fixed on a man wearing a baseball cap, a gray sweatshirt, and a crossbody bag.

Little did they know, the person they immediately identified was Ji Zhengxiong, a man who was low-key and cautious and never showed his true face on surveillance footage.

Police!

A fleeting glint of coldness flashed in Ji Zhengxiong's eyes, but he quickly became as cooperative as any ordinary citizen when questioned by the police.

"Officer, this is my ID card."

"Please wait a moment."

After receiving the ID card, the three plainclothes police officers, seeing Ji Zhengxiong's cooperative attitude and honest appearance, lowered their guard considerably. They called the front desk to verify the information on the ID card, while simultaneously glancing at the bulging shoulder bag Ji Zhengxiong was carrying. "Please open your bag, we need to check it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhengxiong's murderous intent surged. His satchel contained the guns he had just purchased from an underground arms dealer; opening it would immediately expose his identity. He feigned cooperation, unzipping the satchel and reaching inside. "Officer, it just contains some ordinary daily necessities..."

boom! boom! boom!

Before he finished speaking, he had already gripped the Black Star pistol in his satchel and decisively fired six shots, instantly killing three plainclothes policemen before fleeing the scene.

Now only the plainclothes police officer lying on the ground and a group of screaming passersby remain.

……

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! This is a blatant provocation against our police force. If we cannot arrest Ji Zhengxiong and bring him to justice on the spot, our police force will lose all face."

"The higher-ups have issued a strict order that we must dig three feet into the ground and find Ji Zhengxiong."

Inside the Major Crimes Unit, the chief stood in front of a blackboard covered with images of criminals, angrily slamming his hand on the table, while all the other officers in the Major Crimes Unit looked serious.

News of the shooting deaths of three plainclothes police officers in Mong Kok has spread throughout Hong Kong Island, with clues pointing directly to the notorious gangster Ji Zhengxiong, whom the police are investigating.

Two days ago, the police received a tip that the notorious thief Ji Zhengxiong had smuggled himself back to Hong Kong Island, preparing to lead his newly formed gang to commit another big crime. Therefore, the police took it very seriously and ordered all police stations to send people to search the streets. However, just as they caught Ji Zhengxiong, three of their colleagues were shot dead.

Tolerable or unbearable!

On the criminal blackboard of the Major Crimes Unit, a sketch of Ji Zhengxiong drawn based on eyewitness descriptions is hung in the center, surrounded by various clues related to robbery cases.

The most striking photo was of three plainclothes police officers lying in pools of blood.

"Officer Dong, this case is in your hands. You must bring Ji Zhengxiong to justice."

Ultimately, the director made the decision to put Uncle Biao in full charge of the case.

"Chief, rest assured, leave it to me. Our police station is mortal with evil."

Uncle Biao had a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face.

"Okay, let me know when you have the results."

The director nodded and left with a heavy heart.

Uncle Biao straightened his tight police uniform and looked seriously at Chen Jiaju, Wen Jianren and others. "Jiaju, the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit's Bullet Damage Identification Division has sent over the bullet damage test results. Your group will be responsible for investigating the origin of the firearms based on the test results. Ji Zhengxiong is always cautious. He smuggled himself in, so it's impossible for him to be carrying firearms. His gang must have purchased the firearms through underground channels in Hong Kong Island. Go and investigate."

"At the same time, we led a team to search all the major entertainment venues in the area, and warned the gangsters and triads on the street to hand over any clues about Ji Zhengxiong, otherwise our police station would raid their places every day."

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Jiaju nodded solemnly, while in his mind he was already thinking about having his informant help him find out the situation and try to expose that bastard Ji Zhengxiong.

"Officer Man, your group is responsible for going out on the streets and checking hotels and guesthouses in the area. You need to carefully question any new faces and pay attention to any suspicious persons."

"receive!"

Uncle Biao looked at Lu Ming and said, "Ming, this incident happened in the jurisdiction of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit. It just so happens that you have some connections with the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, so you will be responsible for acting as the liaison, communicating in a timely manner, assisting the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit in its investigation, and ensuring the smooth progress of the case."

"..."

Lu Ming immediately understood what Uncle Biao meant: to send him to the West Kowloon Major Crime Unit to assist in the investigation. But in reality, the investigation was not important; what was important was to make him stand out and to express the Central Police Station's high regard for the case.

To put it bluntly, it's about showing those in higher positions their attitude towards getting things done.

Uncle Biao, that old fox, is always so shrewd in his dealings.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Ming gave a crisp salute, his gaze falling on the three men shot dead on the blackboard. His mind started racing; with such a close-range shooting, Ji Zhengxiong must have been stained with the blood of these three men.

"The smell of blood... ah."

He already had his own plan in mind.

Ji Zhengxiong, the kingpin of the century, has been added to his hunting list.

"Does anyone else have anything to add?"

Uncle Biao issued the order and then asked everyone if they had anything to add.

However, it is clear that with unclear clues and the case not occurring in their jurisdiction, all they can do is conduct a large-scale investigation.

Like searching for a needle in a haystack, they tried to find Ji Zhengxiong, who was known for his caution, in the vast sea of ​​people, so as to avenge the three dead employees.

"Since everyone agrees, let's proceed with the plan we just discussed."

"Set off!"
