“Occupation?” The policeman continued.
“An office worker, a CEO’s a.s.sistant!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“Hmph! You’re still lying?” The policeman slammed the table and bellowed, “You are a part of a group of cultural relic thieves! Your a.s.sociates Jiang Ziya and Zhao Ritian have been arrested! How much longer are you going to keep this up?”
“Oh? How were they caught?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
The truth is, when Li Xiang said that Jiang Ziya and Zao Ritian went out together, Chen Xiaobei had already had a hunch so he was not surprised to hear that.
“The two of them were caught trying to steal the Sui Generis Dragon artifact!” The officer said, “We couldn’t find any doc.u.ments on them but after looking at the surveillance tape, we found out that your friends used the name Li Organization to sneak into j.a.pan…”
“Wait! I didn’t ask you what you found!” Chen Xiaobei made a face. “I asked you how they were arrested. How could they have been caught? Not with Zhao Ritian’s strength.”
Zhao Ritian’s cultivation was Halfstep True Nirvana cultivation, there was no way the police could have gotten their hands on him.
“Hmph, stop being so self-righteous! That kid is dumb in the head!” said the officer. “My colleagues threw tear gas at them and that idiot Zhao Ritian took it in his hands and turned it over and over to inspect it! When the tear gas exploded, both of them were screwed!”
“Huh? Tear gas?”
Chen Xiaobei had a sudden realization, as if he had just been awakened.
When Li Xiang was about to disclose the Sui Generis Dragon artifact as their first target, Chen Xiaobei had personally driven Jiang Ziya from the room! Zhao Ritian should have understood that Chen Xiaobei did not want Jiang Ziya to know this. Yet, he was told that Jiang Ziya even went out to get it together!
This proved that Zao Ritian had been secretly collaborating with Jiang Ziya.
What’s more, Jiang Ziya did not recognize the tear gas because he came from the heavenly realm and Zhao Ritian also did not recognize the tear gas. Plus the Deity Restricting Rope owned by Zhao Ritian! This could only mean that the both of them came from the same place! They both wanted to do the same thing!
They were both spies for Chanism!
“It looks like the Primordial Lord of Heaven is very cunning! He sent an obvious choice and another one that I did not expect to spy on me! If it weren’t for the unexpected cancelation of our plan, I would have been duped by Zhao Ritian!” Chen Xiaobei let out a sigh of relief. “The merit points is pretty useful! The luck I gained from eliminating the Zhuang Family had certainly affected this incident. That was why our plans were canceled unexpectedly!”
It was definitely an unexpected turn. If not, Chen Xiaobei would not have found out about Zhao Ritian.
“What are you babbling about? Speak j.a.panese!” The officer demanded.
“Oh? I was just saying that I’m grateful for your tear gas! It really helped me!”
Chen Xiaobei flashed him a half smile. He would make sure to punish both Jiang Ziya and Zhao Ritian for double-crossing him!
“Grateful to us?” The officer rolled his eyes and mocked, “Have you lost your mind? You will be prosecuted! You are going to sit in jail for a very long time!”
“Don’t be rude now, or you’ll get a slap in the face!” said Chen Xiaobei with a flippant look on his face.
“What? Are you going to a.s.sault a police officer and escape from here?”
The policeman shot Chen Xiaobei a look.
“It’s not that I don’t dare to but that there is no need for this.” Chen Xiaobei said.
“Hmph! Drop your act!” The police officer barked, “I was the one who cracked this case. Once I close this case, I would get a big raise and a promotion! I’ve been waiting for this day for a good seven years! I won’t let you get out of this!”
“Heh, we’ll just have to wait and see.” Chen Xiaobei smiled. It was as if he had everything under control.
……..
Honk!
Honk!
A luxurious Rolls Royce pulled up in front of the station.
When the two cops smoking and chatting by the door saw the number plate SS8888, they quickly tossed the cigarettes in their hands and hurried to the car. Two men with silvered hair stepped down the car. They were wearing suits with leather shoes, and gold-rimmed gla.s.ses, looking like a pair of old scholars.
“Excuse me, do you need any help?” asked the officers.
“Where is your deputy commissioner? Bring us to him!” The skinnier man said.
“He’s had already gone home earlier.” The officer gulped.
“Call him now!”
“I… I can’t…”
Cold sweat was dripped down the officer’s face.
“It’s late. The commissioner must be asleep…”
“Hmph! Koizumi! Since when did become so high-handed? He needs to be taught a lesson!”
The skinny old man glared at the officer.
The officers were too frightened to talk. Koizumi Hikari was the Deputy Commissioner of the Tokyo department. Even the mayor had to show some courtesy to him. Who would have thought that the old man would be so arrogant and talked as if Koizumi Hikari was a n.o.body.
“Hehe. Alright. I’ll call him. I don’t know if that brat would still give face to me.”
The other old man, the portly one, took out his phone and dialed.
“h.e.l.lo, Koizumi?” The chubby old man laughed. “It’s me! Hehe, what boss? I’ve retired for so many years already! I’m in front of your station! What? You’ll come right away? Alright. I’ll wait for you here!”
Both officers nearly shat their pants when they heard this conversation.
This fat old fart was the preceding Commissioner? He was the father of Tokyo’s mayor! It was also rumored that he was friendly with government officials. He was definitely not some ordinary individual!
The chubby old man put away his phone and glanced at the officers. “Koizumi said that he’ll be here shortly. Go ahead and do what you need to do. We’ll wait here.”
“Right… right…”
The officers were secretly relieved.
But before they had a chance to take a breath, an expensive Maybach with the number plate 6666 pulled up.
Two other old men got down the car.
“My G.o.d… why did these two come?”
The police officers were flabbergasted.
There was no one in j.a.pan who did not know who they were. They were the founders of Sony Electronics and Panasonic Electronics, both worth billions of dollars. Compared to them, the mayor is nothing!
“My… My goodness… Look behind you.” The officers were scared witless.
The street was thronged with expensive, luxury cars.
