Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Case Solved in a Cup of Tea’s Time

Inside the command hall were the twelve most powerful officials in all of Jinling City.

With the Governor and other officers present, the heads of every department in Jinling were all gathered.

But the only one who likely knew Qin Tianxuan’s true identity was Governor Gandong Mountain.

Everyone else was curiously sizing up this ”little bodyguard.”

This Mr. Qin had indeed saved an entire street of people, but he didn’t look like anything special.

In the hall, the person in the worst mood was the chief officer of the Police Department, an old man in his fifties.

The Police Department had done a terrible job handling the bombing case.

That much had to be admitted!

But to just dismiss Song Yunsheng like that, without giving the Police Department any chance to explain?

The chief officer refused to accept it.

He stared at Qin Tianxuan, then abruptly stood up. ”Governor Guan, I have something to say!”

Gandong Mountain’s eyes glinted. ”Elder Chang, you are the highest-ranking officer of the Police Department and a respected senior in Jinling. Please, speak your mind!”

The Police Department chief’s eyelids drooped. ”I just received a report. This Mr. Qin used violence in the streets and injured my men. What is that supposed to mean? I, Old Chang, will not accept this! He may have found the bomb and saved many people, but what gives him the right to be invited here as a consultant?”

The more Elder Chang spoke, the angrier he became.

He had to save some face for the Police Department!

’Questioning Lord Night Emperor to his face?’ Gandong Mountain didn’t care if the man was a senior veteran; he was about to erupt in anger!

Qin Tianxuan waved his hand dismissively and smiled at Elder Chang. ”Feeling like you’ve lost face? That the elites trained by the Police Department couldn’t even stop me alone?”

Elder Chang’s face flushed red. ”I’m warning you, don’t take it too far!”

But the other officers just lowered their heads and said nothing. They had all seen the report too.

The scene described was just too humiliating.

The police force’s most powerful special guards, an entire squad, were not only taken down on the spot by this young man, but they hadn’t even managed to touch his shadow!

It was a bit too ridiculous.

They were all starting to suspect there were problems with the Police Department’s training over the past few years.

Qin Tianxuan surveyed his surroundings, his tone becoming calm. ”Elder Chang, I have no intention of humiliating the Police Department. In fact, to be defeated by my hand is your honor!”

’What the fuck...’

Elder Chang nearly exploded with rage.

’Give him an inch and he takes a mile, does he?’

”An honor?”

The old man’s eyes widened in fury. ”Oh, really? So it’s an honor for us to get beaten? Let me tell you, that was only because they didn’t want to hurt you, so they didn’t use their weapons! If our Police Department men had drawn their weapons...”

Qin Tianxuan cut him off directly. ”They would still lose! I wouldn’t give them the chance to use their weapons!”

Elder Chang’s finger began to tremble. ”You... You’re making me furious! Governor Guan, I demand you uphold justice for the Police Department!”

Gandong Mountain laughed inwardly.

’This Elder Chang... he’s actually a very responsible officer. It’s just that he likes to pull rank, which is why he never gets along with the other officials.’

’It would be good to take him down a peg this time.’

’Heh, Lord Night Emperor’s words were actually quite polite, all things considered.’

Seeing Governor Guan remain silent, Elder Chang’s beard practically bristled with rage. He could no longer control his temper. Ripping open his uniform, he roared, ”I once fought under the Night Emperor’s command, and now I have to suffer this kind of humiliation! Say no more! I’ll resign right now!”

Hm?

Gandong Mountain’s eyes went wide. ’He fought under the Night Emperor? Then how could he not recognize Mr. Qin?’

Qin Tianxuan’s expression, however, suddenly turned serious. ”The Five Palaces and Nine Armies. Which division were you in?”

Elder Chang’s gaze was sharp. ”The Hu Ben of the Ninth Army, Sixth Battalion Reserves! I admit, I never saw the great Lord Night Emperor with my own eyes, but War Venerable Wutian trained us personally!”

Qin Tianxuan looked at him intently and nodded in admiration. ”Your backbone is still intact. The soldiers Wutian trains are truly different. A pity you grew too old and had no chance for promotion, so you retired, is that it?”

Elder Chang became livid. ”Who the hell do you think you are, daring to speak Lord Wutian’s name so casually?”

He rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was about to start a fight.

Gandong Mountain stepped in, his voice stern. ”Elder Chang, the case is what’s important!”

Elder Chang stood there fuming, not saying another word.

The other officers coughed awkwardly. To be honest, they also had a problem with Qin Tianxuan just standing there.

And yet, Governor Gandong Mountain was still consulting Qin Tianxuan with the utmost respect.

Qin Tianxuan calmly sat down, taking the main seat at the head of the table. ”Make me a cup of tea!”

Gandong Mountain hurriedly ordered for tea to be served.

The tea was brought over. Qin Tianxuan took a sip, his tone growing even calmer. ”By the time I finish this cup of tea, I guarantee this case will be solved!”

What!

The entire room was shaken.

Then, everyone’s eyes filled with suspicion.

Elder Chang couldn’t hold it in any longer. ”Bullshit! Not even an Immortal could do that! This is a massive case, how is that possible!”

Qin Tianxuan took out his phone and opened a report from Taichu of the Ten Thousand Realms Hall.

”Sir, we’ve tracked down the assassin, codenamed Madam Butterfly. She’s hiding in the International Hall right now. Should we move in?”

”Capture her. Bring her to the command hall at the Police Headquarters Mansion!”

After sending the order via text, he put down his phone and continued to sip his tea leisurely.

The department heads in the room grew even more suspicious.

They began discussing in low voices.

Gandong Mountain rapped his knuckles on the table. ”What are you all doing? Didn’t you hear him? The case is about to be solved! We need to be thinking about the aftermath! How to reassure the nearby residents and businesses, how to prevent an incident like this from ever happening again!”

The faces of the twelve department heads turned grim.

They were all starting to wonder if Governor Guan had lost his mind.

Putting so much faith in a little bodyguard?

Just as a heavy silence fell, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside. An officer from the Police Department, too excited to even remember to knock, burst right into the room!

”The case is solved! Sirs, the case is solved! The bomber, the killer, she’s... she’s been caught! And, and she’s been delivered right to our front door!”

What?!

The entire room was dumbfounded.

Qin Tianxuan set down his teacup. Exactly enough time to drink a cup of tea had passed.
