Chapter 32

At this moment, Peace Avenue was brightly lit.

Several patrol cars arrived at Night Rose nightclub. At the entrance, there were more than ten patrol officers maintaining order.

When Su Meng and Xu Bai arrived at the scene, they saw that the customers who came to the nightclub tonight had left the scene at the command of the patrol officers.

Xu Bai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, looked at the scene outside. A dazed expression flashed across his face.

Xu Bai wanted to laugh. He shook his head and pushed the car door open.

“Let’s go.”

“Wait a minute, Master.”

Xu Bai, who had one foot outside the car, turned his head and saw Su Meng doing something on her phone. He sat back in the car and looked at Su Meng’s phone.

The first thing he saw was…

“Electronic Divination”

The corner of Xu Bai’s mouth twitched. He looked at Su Meng, who was holding her phone with both hands and shaking it rhythmically as if she was asking for a lot in a temple. “What are you doing?”

Su Meng closed her eyes with a sincere expression. “Divination.”

With that, her phone dinged.

Su Meng opened her eyes and looked at her phone screen. Her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Xu Bai. “Good luck, Master.”

Xu Bai felt like a question mark had been squeezed out of his mind.

“What are you asking for? Don’t be so superstitious.”

“It’s not superstition.”

Su Meng looked at Xu Bai with a serious expression. “This isn’t superstition. This is our family’s inherited skill. However, I’m not very good at it, so I can only rely on these things to divine. If it’s my uncle, he can tell if it’s a blessing or a curse by counting his fingers.”

Xu Bai blinked.

“Are you serious?”

He really wanted to say that it was nonsense.

But…

Xu Bai thought about it and laughed. He opened the car door again. “Alright, let’s go.”

Su Meng was stunned. When she saw Xu Bai getting out of the car, she quickly got out of the car and caught up with Xu Bai, who was walking toward the nightclub. “Sir, you don’t believe me?”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng with a smile and said, “I believe in my disciple.”

Su Meng froze.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that Xu Bai had already taken the lead. He showed his identification and walked past the police line into the nightclub.

On the top floor.

[Ding!]

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the long corridor that he found himself in for the second time that night. He walked out of the elevator.

The entire top floor was surrounded by patrol officers.

When Xu Bai brought Su Meng to Sun Qinya’s office, the first thing he saw were the four bodies on the ground. Two of them were a little surprised at who they saw there. They should not be here, but they were familiar faces.

“Agent Hsu.”

Zheng Sen, the Homeland Security agent who had met Xu Bai in the hospital, smiled when he saw Xu Bai enter. He walked toward Xu Bai and extended his right hand. “We meet again.”

Following behind Zheng Sen was the female investigator Gu Hongyu, whom he had met before.

Gu Hongyu stood behind Zheng Sen. When her gaze met Xu Bai’s, she smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Xu Bai retracted his gaze and looked at Zheng Sen’s right hand. He did not slap his face. Instead, he shook hands with Zheng Sen and asked curiously, “Why are the two of you here?”

Zheng Sen smiled.

Gu Hongyu said, “Zheng Sen and I happened to be having supper nearby. We saw someone reporting a case here and were a little curious, so we came over to take a look. Agent Xu shouldn’t mind, right?”

Xu Bai retracted his right hand and shook his head with a smile. “Of course not, as long as you’re not here to steal my case.”

At the very least, he could control the investigation of the case himself.

As for how to close the case? This was a troublesome matter. But luckily, there were many unsolved cases at Feng City Police Station every year. One more or one less was not much.

He was a law enforcement agent, but he didn’t think of himself as a righteous one.

Thoughts flashed through Xu Bai’s mind. He looked at Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu, who exchanged glances right after he finished speaking. Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. “No way. The two of you are really planning to snatch my case?”

Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu looked a little awkward.

Su Meng, who had finally caught up to Xu Bai’s side, happened to hear this. She couldn’t help but look at the two agents from Homeland Security. “You stole our case last time, and now you’re here to take another one of our cases again?”

Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu looked at Su Meng in confusion.

We did steal your case, but didn’t you also steal the credit of your master? Why are you shouting so loudly?

The corner of Zheng Sen’s mouth twitched as he thought to himself. Then, his gaze swept past Su Meng and looked at Xu Bai. “Yes, we were hoping that Agent Xu can hand this case to us. The five people who died this time were all superhuman.”

But…

According to federal law, although the jurisdiction of Homeland Security was the entire Federation, they could only take over when the case involved crossed state lines.

Aside from that, they didn’t have the authority to directly take over this case. They could only ask the Feng City Police Station to transfer it to them. The Police Station would agree to let them handle this case.

Xu Bai had no choice. This was procedure.

Xu Bai smiled brightly when he heard Zheng Sen’s request to transfer jurisdiction. Zheng Sen laughed.

The next second.

Xu Bai put away the smile on his face and looked at Zheng Sen expressionlessly.

“I can’t!”

What kind of joke was this? With just one sentence, I handed this case to you. If my colleagues found out, they would call me a traitor in the police station again

, thought Xu Bai. Moreover, Xu Bai knew better than anyone else who the murderer of this case was.

Zheng Sen was stunned at first, but then he looked at Xu Bai and lowered his voice.

“Agent Xu, this case…”

“That’s enough,” Xu Bai interrupted him.

“If Homeland Security wants this case, please ask your chief to call our chief. The higher-ups have agreed. You can take the case away, and I won’t waste my breath. But for now, you can leave. Our police station is going to handle the case.”

Xu Bai could roughly guess what Zheng Sen wanted to say. Although Zheng Sen would definitely not tell him the truth, he was trying to remind Xu Bai that this case was troublesome. It was far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary police officer from an ordinary police station.

But…

You have something to hide, but I don’t? I’m the real murderer of this case

, Xu Bai thought to himself. He stopped looking at Zheng Sen and looked directly at Su Meng, who was beside him.

“Mengmeng!”

“Master.”

“Get the two Homeland Security agents out of here.”

“Yes!”

Su Meng looked at Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu and replied to Xu Bai loudly.
