Chapter 92: Xiao Yu = Commander-in-Chief

Xiao Yu put down the files and pondered for a while. As he prepared to attend the meeting, still full of doubts, something unexpected happened.

【Ding, the case has been successfully triggered.】

【Police God Case Check-In is now open.】

【Would the host like to check in?】

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment.

‘Can this kind of case trigger a check-in too?’

He had never heard of any jailbreakers who could evade police capture for long. In the past, maybe someone could run and hide for a couple of years. But now? Dream on.

If someone could run for half a year without being caught, he would just give up.

Was the system offering him a benefit?

‘Check-in,’ Xiao Yu thought silently.

【Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully checking in!】

【System reward, ability: Red Hacker Expert.】

【System task issued: Solve the Prison Escape Murder Case.】

【Time limit to solve the case: fifteen days.】

【If the host completes the task within the time limit, an additional reward system skill: Bear Strength will be awarded.】

【If the host fails the task within the time limit, the system abilities granted to the host will be revoked.】

【Task countdown begins now.】

After listening to the system’s notifications, Xiao Yu felt a chill down his spine, leaving him utterly speechless.

What was the last system task?

Solve a bizarre murder case.

How powerful was the criminal? What was the outcome? What was the time limit for the task given by the system?

Ten days.

Based on Xiao Yu’s recent understanding of the system’s nature… no, his understanding. The length of the time limit represented the difficulty of the case. A fifteen-day time limit.

Could you imagine what kind of case this was? Even more terrifying than a bizarre murder case?

Xiao Yu was a little afraid to think about it.

But here came the main point.

The power of the violent bear?

Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up. It was obvious that this skill should be related to physical fitness and strength.

What was Xiao Yu’s weakness now?

Physical fitness and strength.

The last time he arrested Zhang Shi, he almost ran out of stamina and was overpowered. If he got the power of the violent bear, he would have abundant stamina and immense strength.

Just thinking about it made him excited.

Before he could finish imagining the beautiful future, countless pieces of computer knowledge, operations, and network technology invaded Xiao Yu’s brain like a tide, occupying the high ground and strongly imprinting on his mind.

Xiao Yu was a little confused and a little shocked.

Are you sure it was a red hacker expert? And not… a hacker?

Red hackers were individuals who safeguarded national interests and refrained from using their technical skills to invade their own country’s computers. They were hackers who upheld justice and brought glory to their country.

To put it bluntly, red hackers embodied a spirit. It was a spirit of loving the motherland, upholding justice, and pioneering and enterprising.

They were adept at using their technological expertise to maintain the security of domestic networks and to counter external attacks. 

To put it more plainly, they were a group of hackers with a sense of justice.

At the same time, the world not only had hackers and red hackers but also blue hackers and gray hackers. While these types of hackers all seemed similar and were all computer experts, their fundamental differences were significant.

Xiao Yu felt overwhelmed. The system had forcibly turned him into an expert in the field of computers.

Based on the abilities given by the system in the past, even among experts, he was at the top tier. When he thought about the system’s time limit for the task, the case seemed more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Xiao Yu’s heart began to feel uneasy. He was a bit panicked. This was a challenge for him.

“Xiao Yu, what do you think?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded, waking Xiao Yu from his thoughts. Yun Xiangguo, the head of the bureau, was asking him a question.

Countless pairs of eyes in the conference room turned to Xiao Yu. There were looks of confusion, surprise, curiosity, and bewilderment.

Before the meeting started, Yun Xiangguo had brought Xiao Yu, a junior officer, to attend. This alone puzzled everyone. During the meeting, Yun Xiangguo then specifically asked for this young officer’s opinion, which surprised them even more.

Of course, many people still remembered Xiao Yu. In the last family massacre case, Yun Xiangguo had named Xiao Yu to join the special task force, and he had successfully solved the case.

What do I think?

Xiao Yu stood up with a serious expression, thinking to himself, ‘I watched while sitting, lying down, and rolling on the ground.’

No wonder Xiao Yu was internally complaining. He had only looked at the personal files of the two escaped prisoners and had not touched any case clues. What suggestions and opinions could he give?

“I don’t have any opinions.” Xiao Yu played it safe and said righteously, “I will do whatever the leader arranges.”

“Good, that’s what I wanted to hear.” Yun Xiangguo smiled broadly, ignoring the shocked Xiao Yu. 

He looked at everyone in the conference room and said, “Then this prison break and murder case will be led by the Municipal Bureau, with Comrade Xiao Yu in charge, and all major departments will fully cooperate. Does anyone have any objections?”

Fuck!

Xiao Yu nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt deeply toyed with by Yun Xiangguo.

What was going on?

Not only was Xiao Yu dumbfounded, but the leaders of other case-handling units were also stunned. But Yun Xiangguo had a serious expression, not joking at all.

Why did he dare to do this?

Because he had learned some time ago that Xiao Yu had led national security personnel to solve a major C-level case. Yes, you heard it right. He led and commanded, not just assisted.

When Yun Xiangguo received this news, he was just as shocked as everyone else. He was utterly stunned and found it hard to believe.

How old was Xiao Yu?

How long had he been a police officer?

How high was his rank?

A policeman who had been on the force for at most two or three months, commanding a group of national security personnel to solve a case. Who would dare believe it under normal circumstances?

However, this was the truth, and the source of the information was reliable. Because the old leader would never lie to Yun Xiangguo.

With Xiao Yu’s abilities, commanding national security personnel was a significant task, so would there be any problem with him commanding a city police force?

Absolutely no problem.

What Yun Xiangguo valued most was not whether Xiao Yu could command the national security forces, but Xiao Yu’s ability to solve cases.

It was a major C-level case!

After more than 20 years of police service, Yun Xiangguo, a seasoned old criminal investigator and the head of the city’s police system, didn’t even have the qualifications to be involved in such a case. Yet, young Xiao Yu managed to solve it.

What did it mean?

Talent!

Since he knew there was a dragon hidden in his territory, and there was a sudden prison break and murder case, what would a normal person do?

If you were the leader, wouldn’t you use Xiao Yu?

Yun Xiangguo didn’t become the head of the police system by being a fool. It would be foolish not to use him.

This appointment was miraculously approved despite everyone’s confusion. Xiao Yu became the commander-in-chief of this prison break and murder case.

The entire city’s police force fully cooperated.
