Orderly tyrant

Lin Qing was slightly stunned. Why did she mention me right away?

"Yes, Inspector Tang, I am Lin Qing," Lin Qing nodded in response.

"Not bad." Inspector 'Tang Wanqiu' smiled and said, "It's good that you were able to deal with Chu Tianyao. My previous intentions weren't wasted."

Previous intentions?

Lin Qing was first puzzled, then immediately realized, and couldn't help but look up at Tang Wanqiu, saying, "So... it was Inspector Tang?"

"It's just a small matter." Tang Wanqiu smiled when she knew he had guessed it.

The surrounding inspectors realized upon hearing this... so Lin Qing and this Inspector Tang had intersected long ago?

"Inspector Tang." City Bureau Chief Zhang Guodong smiled and said, "I am Zhang Guodong, the director of the Lin'an City Inspection Bureau. The city bureau has prepared accommodations for you and the three senior inspectors. Would you like to go to the city bureau first or...?"

"No time to stay."

Tang Wanqiu waved her hand casually, as if swatting a fly, and said with slight impatience, "Don't bother, Director Zhang. After we finish our work, we might go back today. We'll find a place to stay ourselves later."

Director Zhang maintained his smile and simply nodded, "Okay."

He knew that these inspectors, because of their own strength, never liked being restrained by superior leaders who lacked strength.

Everyone has their own position, and he didn't like this atmosphere of disrespecting superiors just because of their strength.

But senior inspectors were already higher in rank than him, not to mention the inspector from headquarters who was considered a high-level official. Besides enduring it, what else could he do?

"Let's not waste time."

Tang Wanqiu didn't say much, glanced at the inspectors, and smiled, "Everyone, get in the car first. Lin Qing, Xu Qiu, you two come with me."

...

Inside the extended inspection vehicle.

Tang Wanqiu leaned back lazily in the back seat, with Xu Qiu sitting beside her.

Lin Qing was sitting across from them.

As for the three senior inspectors—

One was in his twenties, with handsome features and a body that was obviously trained, a 'double-door refrigerator' of a senior inspector, sitting in the passenger seat.

A tall man with a beard sat on the seat next to Lin Qing, silent and expressionless.

Another, a rather thin teenager, with ordinary looks, seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, also didn't say a word, seemed a little shy, and sat next to the bearded man with slight restraint.

"Lin Qing, let me introduce you to these three senior inspectors under my command."

Tang Wanqiu crossed her legs and leaned lazily on the sofa seat, first pointing to the thin teenager and said, "This is the youngest senior inspector under my command, Shu Xinyu. He's only sixteen years old this year."

"Sixteen years old?" Lin Qing couldn't help but be surprised, "At this age, he has the strength of a senior inspector. He can enter the inner hall of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy, right?"

As a behemoth in the metropolitan area, even the Zhi Xing Group had to befriend the Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy. The basic threshold for its outer hall students was excellent aptitude, and they could generally master the Seventh Edition Chaoyang Practice Method.

But in the end, they were only outer hall students.

What is the outer hall?

They weren't qualified to enter the real Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy, and didn't even have access to the metropolitan area, only having an opportunity to learn and be assessed externally, hence the name outer hall student.

If one couldn't enter the inner hall before the age of twenty, they would be advised to withdraw.

Senior inspectors were either gene awakeners who had grown up, or powerful individuals comparable to the former.

This teenager was only sixteen years old, so he should be able to enter the inner hall of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy.

"Inner hall?"

Tang Wanqiu smiled and said, "You're right, Shu Xinyu is an inner hall student."

"Then..." Lin Qing was a little puzzled.

A dignified inner hall student of the Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy was actually in the inspection system?

"You'll understand in the future."

Tang Wanqiu said softly, "In short, remember one sentence... the metropolitan area is indeed far ahead of Earth, but if your strength isn't enough, being in the metropolitan area might not be a good thing. The treatment might not even be as good as our inspection headquarters."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

Tang Wanqiu shook her head and smiled, continuing to introduce the silent bearded man, saying, "This is Gong Ming. Like you, he practices the Free Body Technique, but he has already mastered the original version. He also has several gene abilities and is about to awaken his genes. You can ask him for guidance if you don't understand anything."

Already mastered the original version? Lin Qing immediately nodded slightly.

Finally, Tang Wanqiu glanced at the 'double-door refrigerator' in the front passenger seat and said casually, "That's Ouyang Ze."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Qing and smiled, "There are still a few senior inspectors who haven't come. You can get to know them when you go to headquarters."

The handsome man in the front passenger seat twitched his mouth and couldn't help but turn his head and said, "Director, why is there only a name left for me?"

"Didn't you say you rely on your face to make a living? You don't need anything else." Tang Wanqiu glanced at him, too lazy to say more, and looked at Lin Qing again, saying, "How is your sister?"

"Fortunately, with Inspector Tang's help back then, my sister just had her prosthetic limb transplant surgery today, and she's in good condition." Lin Qing sincerely thanked.

He could naturally guess that this inspector in front of him was the high-level official from headquarters who helped him modify the contract and get the Hongjun series mechanical prosthetics.

"It was just a small matter for me."

Tang Wanqiu waved her hand, "Introducing these subordinates of mine to you today is also to let you get to know them in advance. In the future, after you become a senior inspector, I can say hello and let you join my branch."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Inspector Tang is so good to me, I'm a little overwhelmed. I wonder if I can ask why?"

"There's no particular reason."

Tang Wanqiu smiled and said, "You're a battle technique genius, and now you've mastered the original version of the Chaoyang Practice Method. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll likely be able to master the original version of the Free Body Technique. If you make some contributions, you should have a chance to be promoted to senior inspector."

She said casually, "Although the various departments of headquarters don't need people now, and most senior inspectors will be sent out, I've always admired people like you who value family. Your potential is also not bad, so giving you an opportunity isn't a big deal."

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

It sounded like even senior inspectors might not be able to stay well at headquarters and would mostly be sent out?

It seems...

Headquarters must have some great benefits, so they are limiting the quota.

"Thank you, Inspector Tang." Lin Qing sincerely thanked.

"Perform well, don't let me down."

Tang Wanqiu smiled, suddenly reached out and hugged the tall Xu Qiu next to her, and said with a smile, "I'm also Xu Qiu's aunt."

Lin Qing was slightly stunned.

So... this inspector is Xu Qiu's background?

However, it seemed coincidental, but on closer thought, it was normal. As an inspector who was a high-level official at the inspection headquarters, she would naturally be primarily responsible for work affairs in her hometown.

The elite training contract he signed was naturally within the scope of this Inspector Tang's authority.

Otherwise, headquarters wouldn't have sent her to Lin'an City this time.

"Aunt." Xu Qiu frowned slightly, "He has a girlfriend, don't matchmake randomly."

"Oh? That's a pity."

Tang Wanqiu shook her head regretfully and said, "I was still saying that this quota could be given to my own family."

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Inspector Tang, what quota are you talking about?"

He prepared to see what valuable quota it was before deciding whether or not he was single.

"Quota, it's an opportunity that might allow you to be a good person in the future."

Tang Wanqiu smiled and glanced at him, "If you hadn't mastered the original version of the Chaoyang Practice Method so quickly, I wouldn't have given you this quota."

"Be a good person?" Lin Qing didn't understand what she meant.

"Confidentiality agreement, I can't say either."

Tang Wanqiu shook her head slightly and exhorted, "In short, cherish this opportunity. If you fail, whether you can live like a person like you are now after five years is hard to say."

"Five years later?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "What will happen five years later?"

"A major event that concerns the fate of everyone in the world."

Tang Wanqiu sighed and said, "At that time, the inspection, public security, and military will probably be completely disbanded. In short... the deadline is May 20, 2126. You have five years left."

She glanced at Xu Qiu again and said, "It's the same for you, Xiao Qiu. I can only bind two quotas. You have to work hard too."

"Yes, I will." Xu Qiu also nodded with a slightly heavy expression.

Lin Qing was silent.

Since this was an opportunity to 'be a good person' after five years, then, conversely, that meant... that maybe in five years, many people wouldn't be able to live like good people?

Various guesses couldn't help but emerge in his heart.

"Don't think too much."

Tang Wanqiu said softly, "I'm only reminding you because I see hope in you. If you don't want to live like livestock, you must seize the opportunity if you have one. Work hard."

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded slowly.

...

After the inspection vehicle arrived at the City Inspection Bureau, Tang Wanqiu asked the inspectors to gather in the conference room first, while she took Lin Qing and the three senior inspectors to see the bodies of Chu Tianyao and Xiao Peidong.

In low-temperature preservation, the bodies of these two people hadn't started to rot yet, and there were two autopsy reports next to them.

"Lin Qing, Xiao Peidong is from the same branch as you, right?"

Tang Wanqiu casually flipped through the autopsy report on the table and said indifferently, "Regarding his death, what are your thoughts?"

Lin Qing had already thought of an explanation for this, and immediately thought and said, "Although I'm not sure, I feel like it's a bit like... eliminating a threat?"

"Oh?" Tang Wanqiu looked at him and said, "How do you say that?"

"Last month, I went to seal up the Yanhong Society's underground boxing arena." Lin Qing said, "Does Inspector Tang know about this?"

"Yes, I know." Tang Wanqiu nodded.

Since she had decided to take him in, she had naturally studied Lin Qing's information on the plane after learning about Chu Tianyao's death.

"Does the inspector know why Captain Xiao was poisoned at that time?" Lin Qing asked.

"Because of searching the safe? The poisonous gas came from the device in the safe, right?" Tang Wanqiu looked at him, "Just tell me the conclusion. I will naturally distinguish between right and wrong."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, I think Chu Tianyao may have received an order from the Original Research Institute to eliminate threats for the Yanhong Society in advance, which is why he was so crazy."

"Eliminate threats?"

Tang Wanqiu looked at the autopsy report, "You mean, the Original Research Institute believes that exchanging Chu Tianyao's life for Xiao Peidong's life is worth it?"

"I know this is unreasonable." Lin Qing said, "But Chu Tianyao is dying, and Xiao Peidong can master the original version of the Chaoyang Practice Method?"

"Oh?" Tang Wanqiu looked at him.

She had also read Chu Tianyao's autopsy report and naturally knew that Chu Tianyao was indeed not long for this world.

"Why can Xiao Peidong master the original version of the Chaoyang Practice Method?" Tang Wanqiu asked.

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "For example, if the Original Research Institute suspects... that Xiao Peidong obtained the Super-Sense Elixir, wouldn't that be reasonable?"

"Super-Sense Elixir?" Tang Wanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"The inspector has been kind to me, so let me tell you a secret."

Lin Qing said seriously, "Actually... the reason why I was able to master the original version of the Chaoyang Practice Method so quickly is because I found a Super-Sense Elixir in that underground boxing arena. I was able to succeed so quickly after using it privately."

"You're honest." Tang Wanqiu smiled and said nonchalantly, "I guessed it, continue."

"I suspect... that the Super-Sense Elixir was given to the Yanhong Society by the Original Research Institute."

Lin Qing said, "Maybe because the Yanhong Society heard that Xiao Peidong opened the safe and suspected that Xiao Peidong obtained the Super-Sense Elixir or something else, and worried that he would break through and become a threat, they asked Chu Tianyao to kill him."

He said helplessly, "Looking at it this way, it can be considered that I implicated Captain Xiao."

Anyway, both parties involved are already dead, so isn't he free to fabricate half-truths?

"This speculation is somewhat reasonable."

Tang Wanqiu nodded lightly, "This can also explain why Chu Tianyao had to kill you after killing Xiao Peidong, but..."

She frowned and said, "Thinking about it this way, the Original Research Institute behind the Yanhong Society values the Yanhong Society too much, right? Super-Sense Elixir, Chu Tianyao... is it worth it just for a Yanhong Society in Lin'an City?"

"It's not just these." Lin Qing said, "Today, Captain Xu was also attacked, and she and I suspect it may be the number one person in charge of the Yanhong Society."

Tang Wanqiu was silent for a long time after hearing this and said, "Alright, I understand, you go to the conference room first."

Lin Qing nodded, his purpose had been achieved, and he turned and left.

After Lin Qing left, Tang Wanqiu turned to look at the three senior inspector subordinates and asked, "What do you think?"

The 'double-door refrigerator' 'Ouyang Ze' clicked his tongue and said, "An eighteen-year-old young man can't hide words in his mouth, even the Super-Sense Elixir came out."

"That's called sincerity, unlike you who only know how to talk slickly." Tang Wanqiu glanced at him.

She looked at the other two and asked, "What about you?"

The thin teenager 'Shu Xinyu' was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know, but there must be a problem in Lin'an City."

The bearded man, Gong Ming, pondered and said, "Regardless of the truth, Chu Tianyao killed the people, and Chu Tianyao is already dead. The most important thing now is... to find out why the Original Research Institute values Lin'an City."

"I think so too."

Tang Wanqiu nodded slightly, then suddenly smiled and said, "Hiding is human instinct. Lin Qing will be a member of our branch after all. It's enough to confirm that his character is not a problem. There's no need to dig deeper. Just focus on investigating the Original Research Institute."

She said softly, "A person who values his family and has eliminated so many criminals is enough to explain a lot."

Ouyang Ze couldn't help but say, "No wonder Director, you always discriminate against me. Is it just because I have no relatives?"

"That's not the reason."

Tang Wanqiu glanced at him, "I feel like you have some blood of a fallen race, lest you get ideas about my Xu Qiu and become relatives with me."

Ouyang Ze: "..."

"Alright, let's begin." Tang Wanqiu said, "Don't waste time, finish this quickly and go back. The extraterrestrial stowaways on God Island haven't been investigated yet."

"Immediately apply for a thorough investigation of the entire Lin'an City, including underground, and search every possible corner with all our strength."

"Not a single member of the Original Research Institute can be let go."

I wrote too much yesterday, and my brain was muddled. I slept for half a day today to recover...

Starting tomorrow, I will update on time at twelve o'clock. The first chapter will be updated at twelve o'clock, the second update will be at six o'clock in the evening, and if there is a third update, it will be around midnight. Each chapter will be at least four thousand words, that's it!
