Xiang Beifei was currently only in the early stages of Qi-Controlling, and his power was not yet impressive.
However, given the speed of his cultivation, he would definitely reach the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling within two weeks!
The speed of advancement through the realms is related to one's talent.
For R-ranked awakened individuals like the class teacher Yang Hua, even after seven or eight years of awakening, he was still only in the late stage of Qi-Controlling.
Whereas S-ranked Lu Zhiwei, having awakened for only a year, was already in the late stage of Qi-Controlling.
Xiang Beifei had been awakened for less than a month and was not in a hurry.
Time at school passed quickly, and after school, once Xiang Beifei had explained the situation to his grandfather, he went to the law enforcement bureau.
The place they were located in was the western jurisdiction of Jiuzhou, where the City Guard Bureau was a conspicuous department. It was a place many ill-intended people steered clear of, with various powerful defenses.
Xiang Beifei entered the City Guard Bureau and asked a small police officer with an "R-ranked Firearms System" at the front desk, who directed him to the office of Lu Hong. However, he didn't find anyone there.
The affairs department of the guardians was noisy, with many law enforcement officers coming and going, some escorting suspects, others loudly making phone calls, and some carrying large stacks of documents.
Xiang Beifei wondered if he should wait inside, but then he caught sight of another interrogation room on the other side and discovered that Lu Hong was inside, seemingly questioning a criminal.
Through the glass window, Xiang Beifei could see the situation inside.
The criminal appeared calm in the face of Lu Hong's questioning, not opening his mouth at all, and there was a disdainful expression in his eyes, showing no regard for these law enforcement officers.
[Host: Wan Qiu]
[R-ranked, Reclamation System]
[Realm: Mid-stage Qi-Controlling]
It was unclear what crimes Wan Qiu had committed, but the expression on Lu Hong's face looked somewhat gloomy.
Lu Hong questioned for a long time but seemed unable to get anything out of him. He let an officer with an "R-ranked Interrogation System" continue the questioning, then left the interrogation room.
"Uncle Lu," Xiang Beifei greeted.
"You've arrived."
Lu Hong saw Xiang Beifei and showed a gentle smile, saying, "I've been busy this afternoon, was dealing with some matters just now, it's kind of headache-inducing."
"Did I come at a bad time?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"No, you cracked a big case yesterday, How could I not make time for you?"
Lu Hong laughed, but he still looked a bit tired; the matter of Lai Wuying, which involved Chen Gang, hadn't allowed him to recover quickly.
But he had not been knocked down, and was still working today.
Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei in astonishment, "Is this true? Are you sure?"
"I think there's no mistake," said Xiang Beifei.
Lu Hong then turned to look at Wan Qiu. He himself had a powerful Investigation System, but when he looked at the dust on Wan Qiu's clothes, he could only tell that the dust came from beneath the bank.
He wanted to ask Xiang Beifei how he figured it out, but remembering what happened the day before, Lu Hong held back the question.
"Wait a moment."
With a wave of his hand, a delicately crafted black raven appeared in Lu Hong's hand. He patted the raven's head and said, "Search the piers of Qianhe Bridge."
The raven darted into the sky, streaking a flash of light before vanishing.
"This is my reconnaissance tool. It's very effective," Lu Hong explained.
This tool came from his system; in fact, he had used it yesterday, but Chen Gang understood his investigative capabilities too well and knew how to counteract them.
Lu Hong watched his system interface. As the black raven flew out to investigate, he could see everything happening outside through the raven's eyes at any time on his system interface.
The black raven was incredibly fast, and since Qianhe Bridge was not far away, it almost instantly arrived and began scanning each pier built into the river.
Soon, Lu Hong's expression became more and more astonished!
The raven's eyes had echo-locating ability, and the scanning results showed that the inside of the piers were indeed hollow!
Not only that, but the raven's echo-location also detected seven people lurking within one of the piers!
"They really are hidden here!"
Lu Hong was truly shocked and couldn't help but look towards Xiang Beifei, full of amazement!
If it weren't for Xiang Beifei's suggestion, they might never have thought to look for people hiding inside the solid piers!
"Move out! Move out! Raven Squad, prepare to deploy to Qianhe Bridge!"
Lu Hong swiftly summoned his subordinates. At his command, they were on the move immediately!
Xiang Beifei stood still, watching Uncle Lu's retreating figure.
The event from yesterday had dealt Uncle Lu a heavy blow.
If he could help Uncle Lu take care of some things, he was willing to do so.
But then he thought about it.
Something didn't seem quite right.
What had he come here to do again?
