Dragon Gate Swordsman

"What do you want to say?"

"I don't know why you want me to catch her, but she's really not a bad person. When I visited the outer ring, I could feel that the civilians were willing to cover up Xingxiong's racing gang."

Chongxiao is not stupid. Judging from the reactions of those who were asked at that time, Xingxiong and the gangsters he met along the way are completely different.

Moreover, Wei Yanwu did not mention what specific crimes Xingxiong had committed... If she was just driving a motorcycle on the outer ring road at night, at most she would be fined and deducted points, but there would be no need to send someone to bring her back.

As the saying goes, sincerity is the most powerful weapon, so Wei Yanwu didn't know what to say for a moment, while Xingxiong looked at Chongxiao's back in some surprise, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

It seems... this guy is a pretty good person.

But unfortunately, he has a broken mouth...

"And she gave up immediately after she got a few scrapes during the fight with me. She can't be a criminal if she's so cowardly, right?"

I...

Xingxiong could swear to heaven that if they weren't in Wei Yanwu's office, he would have pinned this beast down and beaten him to death!

Seeing that the black air was about to emanate from Xing Xiong's body with a ferocious expression, Wei Yanwu coughed a few times quickly, and then he suppressed the urge to laugh.

"Ahem... I didn't say I was going to punish her, why are you so worried, brat!?"

"That's fine. I'll go clean up the dorm."

After getting the guarantee, Chongxiao decisively turned around and walked out of the office. During the period, he seemed not to notice Xingxiong's anger and even gave her an encouraging look.

"I've changed my mind, Governor Wei."

"Hmm? Why? I remember you said it yourself, as long as anyone in the Guards Bureau other than me can defeat you in one move or two..."

"No, you misunderstood."

Xingxiong smiled, which made her look even more charming. However, there was a kind of heart-pounding chill hidden in this smile. "I can join the Imperial Guard Bureau, but I hope Governor Wei can give me a position."

……

When the Imperial Guard Bureau was first established, due to the shortage of personnel and hardware, the residence was even somewhat empty.

But today, ten years later, with the continuous upgrading of scale and expansion of staff, there is already a sense of overcrowding.

The dormitory is okay, after all, most of the local police officers in Longmen will go home after get off work, so even if they want a single room, it is possible, but the cafeteria and office are not so comfortable.

Due to its somewhat remote location, there are no suitable stalls or small restaurants near the Guard Bureau for lunch, resulting in the police officers having to rely on the canteen in addition to bringing their own lunch boxes. However, the limited office space is a bit stretched for doing their work, let alone eating.

Therefore, when the weather is not so bad, many police officers choose to eat outside.

Chongxiao, who was going to the logistics department to pick up something, happened to see this scene...

"Hey, hey! Look, it's the newcomer that Governor Wei brought personally."

"My goodness, he seems to have not received any induction training and testing?"

"Who said that? Someone knocked down the mechanical wooden man used for testing!"

The monstrous newcomer always attracts a lot of attention, but Chongxiao has no objection to this.

He could feel that these colleagues were simply curious, and perhaps a little bit admiring and jealous, that was all.

That’s right, Chongxiao can sense other people’s emotions and thoughts to a certain extent.

There are magical Originium skills in this land. Talented people... or patients with certain mineral diseases can demonstrate abilities that violate the laws of physics, so Chongxiao does not think he is so special.

On the contrary, he was more concerned about the invisible sword energy that was released in a very natural way during the battle with Xingxiong the night before, as if he had used it countless times before. However, when he recalled it afterwards, he had no clue, so he could only put it aside for the time being.

The logistics department of the Guard Bureau is an independent courtyard, next to which is the material warehouse.

Every police officer who officially joins the force will receive a complete set of daily necessities here, regardless of whether he or she lives in the dormitory.

It includes bedding, pillows, meal cards, toiletries... If you buy Film or Volper, you can also get a few fluff balls...

Okay, the latter part is actually a joke, but the reason why the Logistics Department is the favorite department of the police officers in the Guard Bureau is that they will try their best to get what the police officers want.

Of course, it is limited to ordinary daily necessities. If you go to the logistics department and say that you want a Victoria high-speed landspeeder, you will only be slapped in the face.

It was lunch time, and the air in the logistics department was naturally filled with the aroma of food... As the manager of Longmen, Wei Yanwu had always been generous in the treatment of the police officers in the Guard Bureau. The only exception was the cafeteria, which rarely had fried high-calorie foods and high-sugar snacks, because these were things that only satisfied the appetite and were not of much benefit to the police officers who had to train every day.

"Hello, is there something wrong?"

When the Filin police officer in the duty room of the Logistics Department saw Chongxiao come in, he immediately put down the bowl in his hand.

There was another person next to her, who was the Fidelia police officer who registered Chongxiao's file last time... It seemed that the two of them were friends, and they were just eating and chatting.

"I'm here to pick up my stuff. By the way, Lao Wei asked me to ask you where my dormitory is."

"Old Wei? Ah! You mean Commander Wei!?"

The female police officer on duty showed a look of horror, which made Chongxiao realize that his address seemed inappropriate.

"Yes, I am talking about Commander Wei. Commander Wei..."

There are quite a few things to pick up, and although they are not very heavy, it is difficult for one person to carry them to the dormitory because of their size.

So the female police officer from the Fidelia tribe volunteered to help.

Chongxiao had no objection, he had always had an inexplicable fondness for red-haired people...

During the conversation, I learned that the female police officer of the Feidia tribe had a single name, Jiu, and no surname. This was because she had lived in an orphanage since she could remember. After she grew up, she went out to look for a job and accidentally became a police officer of the Guard Bureau, just a few months earlier than Chongxiao.

"Are you working here to look for your parents?"

"No, I don't plan to look for them... Many of us in the Fidelia tribe are like this."

Jiu was not comforting herself. Chongxiao could feel that she really didn't take this matter to heart.

"But you, Chongxiao, I checked after I registered you yesterday, and it seems that there has never been any race called Xel'Naga. Are you sure it's not the Sakota?"

"…sure, this is one of the things I can't remember much."

"Okay then...but there is unverifiable false information in the file, which will affect the promotion review."

Just for this kind reminder, Jiu is a friend worth making friends with.

Chongxiao thought so.

……

The hype surrounding the new monster in the Guards Bureau lasted less than three days, as the emergence of another new detective caused even greater discussion.

The new detective's name is Xingxiong.

I have to say, when Chongxiao first walked into the briefing room and saw Xingxiong in uniform leaning against the side of the briefing board and grinning at him, he had the urge to turn around and leave.

But unfortunately, this meeting will be convened by Wei Yanwu himself. The theme is the improvement of the organizational structure of the Guard Bureau. All police officers who are notified must attend and cannot take leave.

Chongxiao didn't quite understand why he had a part in this kind of meeting, but what he didn't understand even more was why Xingxiong had suddenly become a detective of a higher rank than himself.

Yes, he was sure that Xingxiong was not a bad person, but could a good person take the back door?

"What are you doing, Officer Chongxiao?"

“…trying to focus on one thing and change my perspective on things.”

"Oh? That's commendable, but before that, shouldn't you move aside to let your colleagues in?"

Chongxiao's face was tense, and he walked into the briefing room somewhat stiffly, and found a place to sit down.

Several police officers who were already here cast gloating glances at him...

These guys didn't know Xingxiong's identity, so after seeing a tall and handsome new commander, their first reaction was to try to make themselves look more energetic.

It’s a pity that Xingxiong was not interested in this. After glaring at Chongxiao twice in revenge, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later, Wei Yanwu, as the last person to enter the briefing room, closed the door.

There were a total of 12 police officers present, and if you count Xingxiong, the detective who popped out from a crack in the rock (Chongxiao's words), there were exactly 13 people.

Who knows who will become the traitor after having dinner together...

"First of all, I must emphasize that you are all elite members of my Guards Bureau."

Chongxiao turned around and looked at the others, and found that their demeanor and temperament were indeed far superior to those of ordinary police officers. They must all be experts.

"I have called all of you here to set up a new department. This department will no longer be responsible for routine law and order maintenance, but will be responsible for handling malicious incidents that may lead to serious consequences."

"Uh... May I ask what is a vicious incident that could lead to serious consequences?"

"Asking about everything will only hurt you, Chongxiao."

Wei Yanwu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "If you interrupt me again, your first month's salary will be reduced."

This plan was very effective. After hearing it, the man instantly turned into a good boy, sat up straight and said no more... This was Wei Yanwu's latest discovery: Chongxiao, who was fearless, was afraid of only one thing, and that was a salary deduction.

"Since you are all capable officers of the Imperial Guard, you should assume more important responsibilities than ordinary police officers. Of course, you don't have to worry about your salary and benefits. We will also provide you with significant improvements and upgrades."

The first half of the sentence naturally made the police officers look angry, but the second half effectively calmed their emotions.

Except for Chongxiao and Xingxiong, those who can stand out in the Guard Bureau and be regarded as elites are almost all veterans. Of course, they will not get excited just by a word from Wei Yanwu. It is more practical to increase their treatment.

"Commander Wei, may I ask if this department is responsible for special projects, or simply responding to dangerous situations?"

This is a very well-asked question. The most crucial difference between the two is whether or not one still has to undertake tedious investigation work.

Wei Yanwu subconsciously wanted to say both, but he hesitated after seeing Chongxiao... Judging from his various performances, he really doesn't look like someone who can solve complex cases.

"For now, it's only the latter, but it's only temporary."

"Copy that, sir."

"So...does anyone else have any questions?"

Even if there is, I wouldn't ask too much in this situation... everyone thought.

The current Longmen is no longer as chaotic as it was more than ten years ago, and the public security situation has also improved to a certain extent due to the efforts of the Guard Bureau. Moreover, I have just been given a high hat by my immediate superior. The senior police officers present here will definitely not say things like this department is too dangerous and ask if I can not join it.

Otherwise it would be too embarrassing!

"If there is no problem..."

Wei Yanwu turned to look at Xingxiong and motioned her to come forward. "This is Xingxiong. You should have heard of her name."

Not only have I heard of it, there are many people who have been beaten by Xingxiong...

The police officers' eyes all became a little strange. They actually knew that the biker gangs running rampant in the outer ring had a certain relationship with Chief Wei. After all, Chief Wei's wife loved racing.

As for the one who was beaten, that was very simple. Chongxiao was not the first person who was tricked by Wei Yanwu into capturing Xingxiong.

"Xingxiong will temporarily serve as the senior inspector and will be in charge of the special inspection team... This is also temporary, and the specific position will be determined based on your performance at work."

In fact, Wei Yanwu had no intention of giving Xingxiong any preferential treatment. It would be even more inappropriate for him to hold an important position right after joining the Guard Bureau. However, since the purpose was to "trouble" Chongxiao, it would not be a bad idea to make an exception this time.

With proper targeting and exploitation, this kid's potential should be realized more quickly.

Of course, at this moment, Wei Yanwu would never have thought that Chongxiao's "potential" would exceed his imagination by more than an order of magnitude...

Chapter 4: Hatake Shigeki and Hoshiguma Kai

Chongxiao discovered that one benefit of joining the special inspection team was that he didn't have to do some boring and tedious duty work.

For example, standing on the street to direct traffic, visiting residential areas to investigate cases, promoting anti-pornography and anti-illegal publicity in entertainment districts, etc. For Chongxiao, these are thankless tasks.

However, serious cases that require the dispatch of special inspection teams do not occur every day, so in the past week, Chongxiao mainly did two things.

One was to apply for a computer and read the news online to learn more about Longmen and even Terra. The other was to fight Xingxiong until Wei Yanwu showed up in person...

There was no way. Both of them were in great physical condition and had great energy. The small training ground of the Guards Bureau could not satisfy them at all.

Xingxiong's purpose was simple, which was to teach Chongxiao, who had called him a coward, a profound lesson. The reason why Chongxiao did not refuse was because he felt that Xingxiong was a very good opponent who could help him gradually recall some memories of the battle.

But... this is obviously an extremely long process...

"boom!"

The sudden crash made Chongxiao, who was concentrating on watching the monitor, shrink his neck, and then he raised his head in confusion.

As expected, it was Xingxiong again... She was in high spirits in the uniform of the Imperial Guards, looking like a heroic woman, but she had to stay quiet, especially with Chongxiao...

"Do you know what this is, Chongxiao?"

Xingxiong asked, pointing at something in front of him.

It was a huge triangular object with many scratches and minor damages on the surface reflecting a slight metallic luster. In the middle was an Eastern ghost mask, which was either inlaid or directly pasted on.
