13: Chapter 13: No real strength...

Fang Yihong used every argument he could to persuade Yang Tian to go back.

Liu Dachui stood up from his seat, walked over with a smile to greet him, and even shook hands with Yang Tian.

"You look very familiar to me!"

For Taiwanese novels, visit Chaozan.

Fang Yihong: "Ahem! A few days ago by the river, I wonder who said the Assistant Police Officer from our station could do great things!"

"Holy crap!"

Liu Dachui slapped his own forehead.

"So you're Yang Tian! I have to say, your hobby of fishing is truly wonderful! To even fish up a corpse is a great achievement; you certainly can do great things!"

The Deputy Captain was shocked.

Captain Liu's face changed faster than a Beijing opera face-changer's.

Fang Yihong immediately pressed, "He fished out a corpse for your Criminal Investigation Detachment, so tell us, how are you going to thank him?"

Liu Dachui said with a chuckle, "How about this? Another day, once I've finished the case, I'll treat you all to drinks!"

Fang Yihong: "I want that bottle of Moutai in your car!"

"You certainly know how to pick 'em..."

"Just tell me if it's a deal or not."

"Fine...!"

The Deputy Captain was dumbfounded.

Even County Magistrate Liao had been eyeing that bottle of Moutai in Captain Liu's car for a long time, yet he hadn't been able to squeeze even a drop out of him.

Now...

For the sake of an Assistant Police Officer.

He was being this generous?

—

"Sit in my seat!"

Inside the Criminal Investigation Detachment's meeting room.

The Criminal Police Officers, who had slept for less than two hours, arrived at the meeting room with bloodshot eyes.

Just as they sat down, they saw Liu Da, with his large belly protruding, and the Deputy Captain escorting a Level 7 Assistant Police Officer inside.

Liu Da even let that Assistant Police Officer sit in his own seat.

He was clearly intended to be the head of their twenty-plus Police Officers.

At this.

All the Police Officers were completely bewildered!

"Did Liu Da drink some fake liquor?"

"Did the Deputy Captain drink some too?"

"This young man looks a bit handsome, but that's no reason for him to sit in the Captain's chair, is it?"

"Didn't Liu Da go to 'invite a god'? Why did he bring back an Assistant Police Officer?"

As soon as Yang Tian sat down.

Liu Dachui straightened his back, sucked in his belly, and shouted with a booming voice, "Everyone shut the hell up!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"Now, standing... no, sitting before you is the Great God Yang Tian, who just solved the homicide case at the Yucheng Police Station!"

"Everyone, let's have a round of applause!"

*Clap clap clap...*

The sparse, rustling applause was accompanied by a dozen pairs of strange looks.

"Impressive. So this Assistant Police Officer is the one who saved our detachment??"

"Holy cow, I've heard the name Yang Tian for a while now, but I never expected him to be an Assistant Police Officer!"

"Wasn't the lead investigator for the homicide case Luo Dichang? What does it have to do with an Assistant Police Officer?"

"An Assistant Police Officer solved a homicide case in a single day?"

Liu Dachui clearly saw the doubt in everyone's eyes.

But he had no time to explain and raised his voice another notch.

"Haven't you all eaten? Your applause sounds like a bout of diarrhea!"

Seeing this and remembering Fang Yihong's advice to provide Yang Tian with enough "emotional value" when they left the Yucheng Police Station, the Deputy Captain followed suit and shouted, "Once again, a warm round of applause!"

*Clap clap clap clap clap!*

Seeing that the applause was significantly louder than before.

Liu Dachui seized the moment to assign tasks.

"Yang Tian is the 'Great God' our detachment has invited to assist us in solving Case 415!"

"From now on, all actions regarding this case will revolve around the Great God!"

"If anyone fucking dares to pull any stunts in front of me, I'll be the first one to deal with them!"

Just then.

One of the Criminal Police Officers asked, "Boss, are you going to listen to him too?"

"Yes! As long as it's related to this case, I will listen to him as well!"

This!!

For real??

Everyone couldn't help but start taking it seriously.

"Alright, everyone get moving, get moving! I brought the Great God here to try and solve the case within today!"

Hmm?

Everyone looked at each other in surprise!

There were less than fourteen hours left.

Was it really possible, relying on an Assistant Police Officer??

No one believed it...

In truth, Liu Dachui wasn't sure either.

But now, he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

He looked at the group.

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen, bring the case files for the Great God to look at."

However, before Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen could even stand up.

"No need!"

Yang Tian called out and stood up from his seat.

"No need?"

Xiao Liu and Xiao Chen were stunned.

"How can you solve the case without looking at the files?"

Yang Tian sneered, "If your case files were useful, you wouldn't have needed to invite me here, would you?"

Uh?

Was he looking down on them?

Such a cold and aloof personality!

Is this the aura of a powerful expert?

But he was clearly just an Assistant Police Officer.

Inside the meeting room, more than a dozen Criminal Police Officers were intimidated by the aura Yang Tian radiated from within.

Not a single one dared to speak up.

At that moment, Liu Dachui shouted.

"Listen to him!"

"Yes...!!!"

Yang Tian: "Take me to see the female corpse..."

Inside the Funeral Parlor.

Two veteran Criminal Police Officers took Yang Tian to the Morgue.

The Funeral Parlor staff pulled the body out of the freezer.

"Wait outside."

Yang Tian said to the two veteran Criminal Police Officers.

"This..."

The two Criminal Police Officers were truly not used to being ordered around by an Assistant Police Officer, and they stood frozen in place.

It wasn't until Yang Tian glanced at them.

That they finally walked out of the Morgue.

Looking at the woman before him, whose decomposition was quite severe...

Yang Tian suppressed his physical discomfort and shouted to the system, "I want to use the skill [The Dead Can Speak]!"

"Please confirm the consumption of 10 salted fish points to use this skill?"

"Confirm!"

A wisp of a soul floated out from the corpse.

The girl's appearance emerged...

Yang Tian looked at her.

She was in her early twenties, with a clear and upright appearance.

"Hello, officer."

It greeted Yang Tian.

In the next second, when she saw her own frozen corpse, she couldn't help but feel terrified and afraid!

"Is... is this me?"

"How did I end up like this!"

*Wuwuwu...*

The voice, ethereal and eerie, vibrated in Yang Tian's ears, instilling a sense of dread.

After a while.

Yang Tian reminded her.

"I have less than an hour."

The wisp of a soul threw itself down and knelt before Yang Tian.

"I beg you, you must find the killer."

"Alright! Tell me everything you know."

She fell into deep thought.

"On the night of April 15th, I was walking home alone after work..."

—

*Creak!*

The Morgue door opened.

The cold air from inside seeped out, making the two veteran Criminal Police Officers shiver as they felt the chill.

They stubbed out their cigarettes with their feet and walked toward Yang Tian.

"How was it, G—Great God?"

They still found the title awkward to say.

As Yang Tian walked toward the door, he replied, "The direction of your main investigation is wrong!"

"What?"

"What's wrong about it?"

Yang Tian paused his steps.

"Is it possible that the victim did not suffer any substantive rape?"

"This—!!"

The two Criminal Police Officers glanced at each other and immediately followed him.

"How is that possible? The direction was set by Captain Liu himself!!"
