Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“My friend in Japan just got back to me!” Li Jing explained to a puzzled Zhao Yu after she hung up the phone. “He has reliable information that says the treasure does exist. After Japan was defeated, they have indeed come to China looking for it!”

“Ah?” Zhao Yu was in a daze. “What does that mean? The Japanese are looking for it too? But why? Weren’t they the ones who buried the treasure? If so, then why would they have to look for it?”

“There isn’t concrete evidence...” Li Jing began, “But according to some professional analysis, there may have been some unforeseen circumstances the year when the Japanese Kwantung Army buried the treasure that resulted in the loss of the information. They were too strict about confidentiality and ended up losing the clues to find the treasure!”

“Unforeseen circumstances?” Zhao Yu asked, frowning. “That can’t be! This is such a big thing. How could they simply lose the treasure like it’s a toy?”

“It’s actually very possible!” Li Jing said. “At that time, when Japan was facing defeat, the Soviets were bombing the Kwantung Army and relentlessly pursuing them day and night. Accidents were inevitable!”

“Oh. That means that the Japanese don’t know where the treasure is buried either,” Zhao Yu said, shaking his head. “This has really... this has gotten more and more interesting! Leader Li, how did your friend do it? How did he find this information?”

“Hehe, that’s a secret!” Li Jing said, smiling slightly.

“So... have the Japanese found it yet?” Zhao Yu asked.

“Well, that’s a mystery!” Li Jing replied. “I personally feel that either it hasn’t been found, or if they have found it, they can’t remove it, so they haven’t bothered to continue looking.”

“Or perhaps...” Zhao Yu said. “The case we’re investigating is related to Little Japan!”

“Leader Zhao!” Li Jing said, solemnly nodding her head. “This case involves a national treasure. In order to safeguard our nation’s interests, please crack this case no matter what it takes and make sure the truth comes to light! Just like... just like the Headless Female Corpse Case or the Demonic Case!”

“Heh, that’s a given!” Zhao Yu said, scratching his head. He wasn’t susceptible to coercion but flattery often worked, so Li Jing’s praises made him feel smug with glee.

“I’ve already enlisted all my friends,” Li Jing continued. “I’ve got them keeping an eye on the movements of the Japanese and they’re also checking to see if the murders of the scholars had anything to do with them.” Zhao Yu nodded silently as Li Jing finished. He had come to a new understanding concerning the pretty leader. Even though she was soft-spoken, every sentence she said was spot on.

“D*mn it! What kind of situation is this?” Just as Zhao Yu and Li Jing finished talking, Zhang Jingfeng sprang from his seat and rushed towards Zhao Yu while shouting. “Leader, leader! Hurry up and take a look! It’s like I’ve seen a living ghost!”

“What’s wrong? What is it?” Zhao Yu asked, walking steadily towards Zhang Jingfeng to demonstrate that he had ample experience with staying calm in intense situations. “What’s the fuss about? Remember, you’re a special investigator now, you have to be calm. C. A. L. M. Understand? I’ve told you before! Now tell me, what happened?”

“Yes, uhm, no...” Zhang Jingfeng’s forehead was sweaty and his face was pale. He pointed to the windows he had open on his monitor while frantically shouting, “I... I was tracking the escape route of the van, but as I continued to track it, I actually... I actually tracked it... uhm... you better take a look outside the window...”

“What?” Zhao Yu asked. Only then did he realize how big of a deal the situation that was unfolding actually was. He took long strides towards the window and looked down. In the parking lot outside the window, a silver-grey van was parked. The exact same silver-gray van that had taken Cui Lizhu!

‘The f*ck?!’ Zhao Yu immediately took his pistol out and rushed through the office door. Before he could even take two steps outside, the door of the office was pushed open and a young man wearing a gray cap strode in.

“What the f*ck?!” This time it was Cui Lizhu, sitting near the door, who exclaimed. She pointed to the young man as she shouted. “That’s him, that’s the guy who grabbed me!” Xu Hai was standing the closest to Cui Lizhu. He quickly took out his pistol and stood in front of her. As the young man entered the office, several people followed him in. Although they were dressed casually, they all had a menacing aura around them.

“Haha!” The young man took the lead. Removing his cap, he shouted at Zhao Yu. “Leader Zhao Yu, we meet again!” The face beneath the cap was handsome and angular. He was not exceptionally tall, but his eyes were sparkling and full of energy.

“Wow, so handsome...” Cui Lizhu sighed, smitten, before quietly continuing to mumble, “it’s a pity your cap is so low and you’re a little short...” Zhao Yu looked the man over. He was definitely the suspect the sketch artist had drawn, but Zhao Yu had never met this man before.

“Hahaha!” The man smiled and approached Zhao Yu, taking the chance to introduce himself. “Everyone, don’t misunderstand me! Leader Zhao, I am Xiao Hang from the Special Service. You may not know me, but we have crossed paths several times!”

Zhao Yu was holding his gun but wasn’t aiming it at anyone. Although the whole incident had happened in the blink of an eye, it was obvious to him that the people standing here were definitely part of the Special Service. If not, they would not have been able to enter so easily. “Oh?” Zhao Yu crossed his arms and looked Xiao Hang over from head to toe. “What is this Special Service you speak of?”

“Huh?” Xiao Hang smiled slightly. “You, the famous, godly detective Zhao Yu, have never heard of the Special Service?”

Special Service? Zhao Yu thought. He vaguely remembered the year he had met his father-in-law Miao Kun at a small restaurant, He, too, had said he was part of the Special Service. Were these two groups and the same?

“I’m sorry...” At this point, Li Jing came forth and spoke directly to Xiao Hang, her face straight. “This is a police station! I’d like to see some identification please!”

“Oh? And this is...” Xiao Hang looked Li Jing over and snapped his fingers at the subordinates behind him. One of them handed a stack of documents to Li Jing.

“Leader Zhao, everything seems to be in order!” Li Jing whispered to Zhao Yu after looking through the documents.

“D*mn it!” Zhao Yu cursed. In the past, he would not have cared less who the other party was, he would simply have kicked them straight to h*ll. But he was a changed man. He knew that as the leader of the special team, he shouldn’t get distracted or act out. So, he chose not to react violently and simply smirked instead. “Hahaha! You’re actually my fellow f*cking colleagues! You guys are way too rude! How can you just kidnap someone like that right from the get-go? Do you think you’re some big shots?”

Cui Lizhu silently gave Zhao Yu a big thumbs up while she almost lost her breath from laughing.

“You...” Xiao Hang’s men glared at Zhao Yu intently.

“Hahaha! Leader Zhao! Your reputation precedes you. Truly well-deserved!” Xiao Hang said. He could not care less and actually followed Cui Lizhu in praising Zhao Yu. “But please don’t misunderstand, godly Detective Zhao. I’m not here today to cause problems. Although I’m higher in rank than you, I can’t afford to offend you. I mean, you’re so violent you were able to knock out the world champion fighter Sangrov!”
