"Um?"

While the group of geniuses were incredulous.

A murder occurred in the training room of the talent center, involving a major general, so it was naturally reported to the law enforcement bureau immediately.

"The prodigy of the Void Thieves recruited by the Second Sanctuary was killed by Honorary Major General Cao Fengqi after he attacked him?"

"Cao Fengqi?"

Xu Fenghua, the deputy director of the law enforcement bureau, looked at the information that had been transmitted and his face showed astonishment: "That bastard killed someone?"

She frowned slightly and immediately got up and headed towards the talent housing area.

"Feng Hua, you saw the message too?"

As she arrived at the door, five or six people walked towards her, and the old man at the head of the group looked at her and said...

"Yes, Uncle Hu."

Xu Fenghua saw him and nodded.

"Yes, I heard..."

The old man, a lieutenant general and the current director of the Tianbei Base City Law Enforcement Bureau, who wielded considerable power, looked at Xu Fenghua, pursed his lips, and continued, "Fenghua, do you know this Major General Cao Fengqi?"

The law enforcement bureau of Tianbei Base City is responsible for maintaining order and night watch.

As the head of the law enforcement bureau, he was aware of what happened last night.

When he learned that the hot-tempered General Xu had arrived on his horse Chengchong and given this "Major General Cao" a sound beating, he was quite dumbfounded.

There's a lot of gossip involved here.

"know."

Xu Fenghua nodded.

"Major General Cao is a genius. He has such abilities at such a young age. He is truly remarkable."

Director Hu said with a smile, "If you ask me, today's matter is just a minor one. With Major General Cao's talent and ability, even if he really did kill someone, his achievements would be enough to make up for it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fenghua remained silent for a moment without replying.

"Their relationship is definitely not ordinary."

Director Hu noticed her silence and his gaze flickered slightly.

Who in the entire law enforcement bureau doesn't know about Deputy Director Xu's extraordinary profession?

The ruling establishes the sequence.

Verdict, verdict, a just verdict!

This person has an extremely strong sense of justice; many of the iron-fisted regulations of Tianbei Base City were proposed by him.

"Hehe, let's go check on Major General Cao, make sure he's not injured."

"..."

"Director Hu, Deputy Director Xu!"

When Director Hu and his entourage arrived in front of the training room.

There, the main person in charge of the talent center, along with a group of teachers, were already waiting.

Upon seeing Director Hu and his group arrive, they immediately went to greet them.

"Um."

Director Hu nodded slightly to them: "Take us to have a look."

"Yes, yes!"

The group nodded and immediately entered the training room.

"Um?"

At that moment, Cao Fengqi, who was waiting in the training room, saw Xu Fenghua and raised an eyebrow: "Sister Fenghua, you're here. I almost died just now."

"..."

"..."

Inside the training room, the teachers and the group of prodigies all opened their mouths slightly upon hearing his words.

Oh? You almost died?

However, while they remained silent, they were also shaken. This... this Major General Cao seemed to know that Deputy Director Xu?

Upon hearing his words, Xu Fenghua's face darkened, and she looked him up and down.

"Hehe, Major General Cao, are you alright?"

Director Hu looked at him and asked with a smile.

"It's alright, I'm fine, but the guy who attacked me seems to be dead. I wonder if he can be brought back to life to prove my innocence."

Cao Fengqi looked at the unfamiliar old man and gestured.

"..."

Director Hu glanced at the group of chunks of flesh, paused slightly, and continued with a smile, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

"I'm fine, but the people here won't let me leave, saying that a promising young man has died."

Cao Fengqi said with a smile.

"Heh, what does being a chosen one of heaven mean to Major General Cao?"

Director Hu chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

Murder is no small matter.

In order to maintain the current peace and stability, the Tianbei Base City has established iron-fisted regulations.

Even those with the highest military ranks cannot be exempted from this rule.

In particular, this time the one who died was a genius recruited by another sanctuary.

However, there are always exceptions. This 18-year-old major general, the youngest in the Great Xia Dynasty, solved three important projects for Tianbei Base City in just a few days.

The last one, in particular, could save hundreds of thousands of lives.

In addition, given his terrifying talent in weapon crafting, even if Cao Fengqi deliberately killed a prodigy, at most he would only have his military rank lowered, but he would not have to pay with his life.

This is reality, and this is strength.

Let alone now, even in peacetime, even if you commit murder, arson, and all sorts of evil deeds, as long as you say you can develop nuclear fusion technology, you can transform from a prisoner into a warden.

"???"

"???"

However, at this moment, the group of outstanding students and the teachers around them showed a look of shock on their faces when they heard Director Hu's words.

Holy crap! What?!

When these high-ranking officials from the law enforcement agency arrived, instead of interrogating him, they actually started showing concern for him?

The implication of these words is clear: even if it was intentional killing, it's fine as it is.

"what?"

Cao Fengqi was slightly taken aback when he heard what Director Hu said.

This scene was somewhat unexpected even to him.

He had been told by Sister Youya that the place was strictly ordered and that killing was forbidden, so he was cooperating fully while waiting for the investigation.

It turned out to be simpler than he had imagined.

"Don't you think this is unfair?"

Director Hu swept his gaze across the crowd and continued without any attempt to conceal his intentions: "If you have Major General Cao's abilities and talents and can make the same contributions as him, you can too."

"..."

"Ahem! Sir, keep it down. I'm a good person. You're making it sound like I don't eat beef."

Cao Fengqi coughed.

He pursed his lips and continued, "Sirs, since you're already here, let's investigate this matter thoroughly, fairly and justly!"

"it is good."

Director Hu smiled and nodded, glancing at Xu Fenghua beside him.

Why did he attack you?

Xu Fenghua looked at Cao Fengqi and asked.

"I didn't know this guy would suddenly attack me."

Although Cao Fengqi had some guesses in his mind, he didn't say much: "The most important thing is that he had murderous intent towards me, otherwise I wouldn't have killed him."

"Alright, then I'll have our 'Soul Listeners' in the bureau collect evidence and verify it."

Xu Fenghua nodded and looked at a middle-aged man: "Captain Guo, thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all!"

The middle-aged man nodded, took out a jet-black crystal ball, and walked to the group of corpse fragments.

"I am the listener of souls, I open the desolate land to gather wandering spirits, I chant the haunting voices in the void; the desolate ruins gather the remnants of souls, the dark realm silently listens to the words of the dead..."

"Gathering wandering souls and embracing remnants of spirits."

"Buzz!"

He chanted a spell in a low voice, and a gray, lifeless soul slowly coalesced under his spell.

Cao Fengqi saw this and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

No wonder the order hasn't collapsed in this apocalyptic world. They directly summon the souls of the dead to judge cases. Who would dare to act recklessly now?

The gray ghost turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the pitch-black crystal ball, which then emitted a blue-green light.

"Indeed, as Major General Cao said, the deceased struck first because of some matters concerning his children."

"He harbored murderous intent. Of course, he didn't dare to kill anyone in this attack; he just wanted to tease Major General Cao. But... he only had himself to blame."

A blue-green light shone in the middle-aged man's pupils as he answered truthfully.

It doesn't matter if a major general doesn't know his exact identity, if someone intends to kill him or play a trick on him.

Just be more careful in your next life.

"Okay, let's seal off the evidence."

Xu Fenghua nodded slightly upon hearing this.

She glanced at the Wang Zhiyan sisters beside her.

Everything is clear now.

"Dispose of the body..."

She glanced at the corpse, then her gaze fell on Cao Fengqi: "Don't cause trouble in Tianbei Base City in the future. This is not your small county town."

"Sister Fenghua, this wasn't my fault."

Cao Fengqi was speechless when he heard his reminder.

He paused, then reminded her, "Sister Fenghua, if you want to help me get revenge, just tell me."

Help you get revenge?

Xu Fenghua's face turned cold upon hearing her words.

She naturally understood what this bastard meant.

"Hey? Wind rises, who offended you? Our law enforcement bureau will help you get revenge."

Director Hu, who was standing to the side, was slightly surprised when he heard his words and asked him a question.

"uncle..."

Cao Fengqi looked at him and asked curiously, "Can our brothers from the law enforcement bureau take down that old bastard Xu Zhenjiang?"

"????"

"????"

His words left Director Hu and several other high-ranking officials in the law enforcement bureau momentarily stunned.

General Gan Xu?

"Hehe, Feng Qi, I have something to attend to, I'll be going now."

Director Hu gave an awkward smile, knowing that this was not something he could get involved in, and turned to leave.

"Hmph, you deserve it!"

Xu Fenghua, his face dark, snorted coldly at Cao Fengqi and turned to leave.
