Orderly tyrant

The instant that scarlet notification appeared, Lin Qing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, instantly sobering up.

Order level decreased by 0.6 levels??

Moreover, it was blood-red, indicating that this was a danger targeting him!

The amount of the order level decrease depended on the magnitude of the danger he encountered.

For example, when he caught the fugitive in the bar before, and when the tower-like, burly man next to Camel harbored killing intent towards him, the order level only decreased by 0.2 levels.

But now it had decreased by 0.6 levels!

Could it be that…

Someone had been secretly monitoring the patrol's situation, and when they discovered he was about to move the closet, they developed killing intent towards him?

Judging by this, there probably really was a secret hidden behind this row of closets!

A mechanism? A hidden door?

This Red Oak Boxing Gym really had problems.

Perhaps, there really was a great achievement waiting…

But—

“With my current strength, can I handle a 0.6-level danger?”

In that instant, this thought flashed through Lin Qing's mind.

After a slight hesitation, he released his hand that was about to move the row of closets, muttering, “Looking at the size of these closets, they can’t even fit a person…”

Subsequently, Lin Qing remained calm and looked at the other corners of the locker room before turning around and leaving.

[Current order level increased by 0.6 levels]

The next moment, a line of small green characters appeared before his eyes.

Lin Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As expected, someone was secretly observing him, and when they discovered that he had no intention of moving the row of closets, they withdrew their killing intent.

Although his current strength was passable, he didn't know what a 0.6-level danger actually entailed.

Even with a gun, he wasn't confident.

He couldn't risk something he wasn't confident in, and without knowing how much he would gain.

“There's a great achievement, but also a great danger. My current self may not be able to handle it. I need sufficient strength…”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, glanced at Teng Feiyu, who was still carefully searching not far away, and felt secretly helpless: “Aren't you thinking too highly of me? You dare to let me participate in such a dangerous achievement? Or perhaps… he doesn't really understand either?”

“Team Leader.”

At this moment, Zhao Jiayi walked over, looking slightly timid, and asked, “Have you found anything?”

“No.” Lin Qing shook his head.

“Oh, I only have the locker room behind you left to search.” Zhao Jiayi said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Lin Qing watched her walk towards the problematic locker room, frowned slightly, and immediately reached out to hold her shoulder, shaking his head, “No need to look, I've already checked, there's no problem.”

Zhao Jiayi turned her head to look at him, opening her mouth as if wanting to say something, but still nodded, “Okay.”

“The search is almost done, it's time to withdraw.”

Lin Qing immediately picked up his work phone and issued the order to retreat.

Although he didn't think that Zhao Jiayi's small frame could move that row of large closets, it was better to be safe.

If he really provoked the enemy hiding in the dark, then it would be hard to say.

Now that he knew the achievement was hidden in this Red Oak Boxing Gym, it wouldn't be too late to come back and take it when he had enough strength in the future.

He still had considerable room for improvement.

Before long, Team Two and Team Seven had gathered.

“Team Leader, aren’t we going to continue searching?” Teng Feiyu couldn't help but ask.

“Just an ordinary boxing gym, haven't we already searched it?”

Lin Qing said calmly, “There's no need to waste time. There's still enough time tonight to search the vicinity of Zhao Jiayi's residence.”

Without waiting for Teng Feiyu to say anything else, he led the people towards the outside of the boxing gym.

The person in charge politely smiled and said, “Take care, everyone.”

After the group of inspectors left, the person in charge turned around and quickly walked into a lounge. After closing the door, he immediately tapped a few times on one of the walls in a rhythmic manner.

The wall slowly caved in, revealing a delicate and compact display screen. On the screen was a middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament.

“Mr. Qi, how is it down there? I heard that the entrance at Qingtai Hotel was also searched.” The person in charge asked nervously.

“It's fine.”

The middle-aged man with a gloomy temperament said, “We received the news in advance and had already made preparations. However… just now I thought that young inspector had discovered the entrance and was almost ready to silence him.”

“The entrance is so hidden, the soundproofing and camouflage are perfect, how could he have discovered it?” The person in charge shook his head.

“That is to say… it was probably just a coincidence.”

……

……

Zhao Jiayi lived in Times Square on Xin'an Road, which wasn't far away.

Before long, two patrol cars drove to the vicinity of Times Square and stopped by the roadside.

“Where should we start searching?”

Lin Qing looked at Zhao Jiayi and asked, “I looked at the information in the bureau. There's nothing suspicious near your home. Where do you want to search?”

Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment and said, “Isn't there any place where illegal activities might be happening?”

“There are some, but there's no need to search them.” Lin Qing shook his head.

“Where?” Zhao Jiayi asked in confusion.

“A bathhouse.” Lin Qing said, “The rest are either shopping malls or kindergartens. The only thing open at night is the bathhouse.”

“Uh…”

Zhao Jiayi hesitated and said, “Then let’s just casually check the bathhouse.”

The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Han Ying, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but chuckle, “Jiayi, you're really adorably silly.”

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, sent a message to Team Leader Han, and entered the address into the patrol car, driving towards the bathhouse.

……

Soon, the group of inspectors arrived near the bathhouse.

A colleague from Team Two, who was familiar with Lin Qing, couldn't help but joke, “Is Team Leader Lin planning to treat us to a foot massage to reward us?”

Lin Qing stood at the entrance of this bathhouse called Junlan, sized it up, and asked, “Is this place legitimate?”

A male colleague from Team Two shook his head and said, “I've been here before, it's too legitimate.”

“It's good that it's legitimate.”

Lin Qing said casually, “Everyone work harder and do an identification verification of the guests and employees of this bathhouse, and then we can call it a day.”

“Tsk… I thought you were going to treat us to a foot massage…”

“How boring…”

“Let's find a place to eat supper later.”

After chatting for a few sentences, the group of inspectors walked towards the bathhouse.

This search task was too simple, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Just then—

“Hmm?”

For some reason, Lin Qing suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable palpitation. He instinctively felt a trace of unease in his heart. At this moment, this seemingly ordinary bathhouse gave him the feeling of a cave where ferocious beasts were lurking.

This feeling seemed to come from his subconscious, just like when he inexplicably suspected that there was a problem with the row of closets at the Red Oak Boxing Gym.

Danger?

Lin Qing felt a little strange, but he couldn't care about thinking so much. He immediately said in a deep voice, “Everyone be careful, don't let your guard down.”

……

This bathhouse wasn't big. After asking the front desk and the manager, the group of inspectors routinely divided into groups of two and began to check the rooms one by one.

Since they were checking Zhao Jiayi's residence, Lin Qing led Zhao Jiayi and formed a group with her to start identifying and verifying the guests one by one.

Even if they encountered sleeping guests, they had to wake them up to do facial recognition.

“Team Leader, there's another small room over there.”

Zhao Jiayi suddenly pointed to a rather narrow room at the corner.

“Go take a look.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, but the unease in his heart became even more obvious.

Opening the door, he saw that there were indeed two guests lying on the two sofas in this small room.

Both of them had their backs to him and seemed to be asleep.

“Wake up.”

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Inspector, wake up and do facial recognition.”

The next moment—

[Current order level decreased by 0.2 levels]

[Current order level decreased by 0.2 levels]

Two consecutive lines of scarlet notifications appeared before his eyes in succession.
