“Of course I know who he is. He’s the celebrity police officer, Qin Feng who’s all the rage right now. He’s known for his ability to solve cases quickly, and he’s garnered much attention. Also, I’ve seen his interview, he seems to be a very capable officer who possesses great analytical skills.”

Qin Xiaohua glanced at Qin Feng and gave him high praise.

“Hahaha, yes, he’s indeed a capable officer. It’s for this reason that I personally called him over this time. Chief Qin, I’ve already told Qin Feng about the serial murder cases on your end. I called you over this time just to let you know that from today onwards, Qin Feng will take over the serial murder cases of the red-dressed victims. You have to cooperate with him fully and catch the murderer as soon as possible.”

“What?”

Qin Xiaohua was slightly stunned when he heard Zhao Nianmin’s words. “Mayor, Qin Feng is indeed a very capable individual who has very unique insights, but our bureau has been investigating this case for over a month, and we’re starting to find some leads. If we were to let Qin Feng take over now, he would need time to get familiar with the case, time that we cannot afford. I don’t think this is an appropriate decision!”

“Bang!”

The moment Qin Xiaohua finished speaking, Zhao Nianmin slammed his desk.

“Inappropriate?! Qin Xiaohua, it has been a month. What do you have to show for the month that you’ve wasted on this case? You dare tell me that it is inappropriate to hand over the case to Qin Feng?! How so? Do you wish to let the murderer to continue running rampant? Are you going to be responsible for any more lives lost due to your incompetency?” Zhao Nianmin roared with rage.

Qin Xiaohua’s forehead was covered in sweat. He lowered his head and dared not speak a word. He was only questioning the mayor’s decision, and he did not expect the mayor to respond this vehemently.

Zhao Nianmin scanned across the room as he sat back down. “Chief Qin, I will not negotiate with you on this matter. Let me repeat my statement one more time, from this day onward, this serial murder case will be taken over by Qin Feng, and your department will provide unconditional cooperation to Qin Feng. Understood?”

“Understood, mayor. We will definitely cooperate with him.”

Qin Xiaohua was scared speechless by the furious Zhao Nianmin.

Upon receiving Qin Xiaohua’s affirmative answer, he turned his head to Qin Feng with satisfaction and said, “Qin Feng, I’ll leave this case to you! If there are any difficulties in solving the case, call me directly. My cell phone always on, 24 hours a day. However, with these massive conveniences at your disposal, the responsibility you have to bear is also equally heavy. Please solve this case as soon as possible, this is my only request.”

“Yes, mayor! I will solve the case as soon as possible,” Qin Feng replied with a serious expression.

Qin Feng looked very calm, but in fact, he was also lamenting the situation mentally. He knew very well that many people would feel uncomfortable when he suddenly “parachuted” into the Magic Capital’s Police Department and snatched up such a big case. However, this was not something that he had control over. Moreover, with the powerful backing of the mayor of the Magic Capital, there was nothing much he should be worried of.

When Chief Qin, who was sweating profusely, heard this, he immediately killed all other thoughts in his mind. The mayor had given Qin Feng his personal phone number. It was clear that Qin Feng was under his protection. Other than giving Qin Feng his full cooperation, he dared not think of anything else.

With that, Qin Feng had “parachuted” his way into the Magic Capital Police Department.

After obtaining the mayor’s permission, Qin Xiaohua brought Qin Feng back to the Magic Capital Police Department to learn about the case.

As for the Ocean City Police Department’s chief, Li Dahe, after being praised by Zhao Nianmin, he too, had returned to his police department happily.

“Get out of the car, we’re here.” Qin Xiaohua informed Qin Feng.

In fact, on the way to the Magic Capital Police Department, Qin Xiaohua had asked plenty of questions about the relationship between Qin Feng and the mayor, Zhao Nianmin. However, in the end, he did not gain anything beyond them having a police-mayor relationship.

Upon stepping out of the car, Qin Feng took a good look around. After all, he was now in the capital’s police station. Be it in size or influence, it was definitely a tier above Ocean City’s.

“Let’s go and take a look at the basic information about the case. The mayor probably hasn’t given you a comprehensive explanation about the situation. At the same time, I’d like you to meet the others who are working on this case as well.”

Upon spotting Qin Feng looking at his police station with admiration, Qin Xiaohua felt a lot better and said in a relaxed tone.

“Sorry to trouble you, Chief Qin.”

Qin Feng stopped looking around, nodded, and walked into the police station together with Qin Xiaohua.

Soon, a lot of people gathered in Qin Xiaohua’s office. These people were all in charge of the case of the serial murder of the red-dressed brides.

“Is this the little policeman who has been making waves recently? If memory serves, his name is Qin Feng, right?”

“Yes, but isn’t he a policeman from Ocean City? What’s he doing here?”

“Yeah, he’s a celebrity now. Perhaps he’s transferred to our department?”

“I remember the Internet saying that he’s the Sherlock Holmes of our country.”

“Forget it. I think it’s just the media’s flattery. He was simply lucky.”

Everyone looked at Qin Feng curiously, secretly guessing his purpose for appearing in their station.

The Bureau Chief, Qin Xiaohua, noticed that almost everyone had arrived, and thus, he announced, “Okay, okay. Everyone, settle down. I have something important to say.”

Silence fell across the room.

Qin Xiaohua pointed at Qin Feng and said, “Do you still need me to introduce the person next to me? All of you should know him.”

“There’s no need to introduce him. Everyone knows him. He’s the most popular person on the Internet.”

“Yeah, everyone knows him. Chief, is Qin Feng transferring here?”

“I hope he does. Qin Feng, Welcome. We’ll be colleagues from now on. We’ll be in your care.”

Everyone smiled and said in a friendly manner.

Qin Feng looked at everyone’s smiling faces and smiled as well, but he was thinking to himself, ‘I wonder whether they’ll still treat me this friendly once they realize why I’m here.’

Qin Xiaohua nodded and continued, “Since everyone here knows him, then I’ll forego the introductions. I’ve just returned from the mayor’s office, and it seems that the mayor places great importance on the red-dressed serial killings. he has specially assigned Qin Feng onto the case. Seeing as all of you here are very familiar with the case, I’d like all of you to share your findings with Qin Feng. This is a tricky case, and I hope that you’ll give Qin Feng your full cooperation so that we can crack this case as soon as possible..”
