Chapter 71 is a talented person
The lockdown order on the auditorium has been lifted, but most people remain seated.
Field staff may not have a strong sense of the scene today, but those in the office and clerical positions have only ever seen the danger of shootings and arrests in case files. After all, there is always a distance between videos and text.
But tonight, witnessing Xiao Yuan draw his gun and shoot the bureau chief up close, only to be subdued in an instant, was a very impactful scene. Many people's faces went blank, and they couldn't recover for a long time.
Liu Bohang, the head of the administrative section, was stunned for a long time before he cautiously walked to Director Liu's side. Sister Zhou's mouth was agape, her face full of disbelief.
She was the bureau’s well-known gossip leader, best at piecing together trivial matters from other departments and then weaving all sorts of rumors. But she never expected that today she would be gossiping about her own department.
She and Xiao Yuan had worked together for five years. Although they saw each other every day, their relationship was just so-so. But no matter what, they were colleagues in the same office, so she had mixed feelings at the moment.
Xiao Yuan was forcibly lifted from the ground, his face still showing ferocity. At this moment, Chang Biao strode forward, raised his hand and slapped him twice. Before anyone could react, he grabbed Xiao Yuan's chin and twisted it downwards.
Director Liu frowned, about to reprimand Xiao Yuan, when the next second, several blood-tinged molars emerged from Xiao Yuan's gaping mouth, one of which had a small black capsule embedded in it.
Director Liu was also stunned. Chang Biao released his grip and looked at Director Liu apologetically.
"Chief, I'm sorry, but Xiao Shi told me earlier that these undercover agents might commit suicide, so I just wanted to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Director Liu looked at Chen Shi. Chen Shi chuckled awkwardly, but in his heart he was thinking: If Director Liu asks me what the basis of my judgment is, should I tell him that I've been reading the online novel "Undercover Storm" recently?
Fortunately, Director Liu did not press the matter, but instead gestured to Chang Biao with his eyes. Biaozi immediately understood, walked up to Xiao Yuan, who was glaring at him fiercely.
Biaozi was a little shy and said, "Sorry," then raised his hand to hold Xiao Yuan's jaw. The bones rubbed together and made two clicking sounds. Xiao Yuan's mouth was still open, and Biaozi couldn't put it on.
The fat guy next to him almost burst out laughing. He walked up to Chang Biao and said innocently, "That's strange. That's what it says in the book. Why doesn't it work?"
"Your skills aren't up to par, let me try." The fat man looked very professional, cracking and fiddling with Xiao Yuan's bones, but the result was the same as Chang Biao's. However, Xiao Yuan was already convulsing in pain. Everyone present had the same thought: these guys from Group Five are really ruthless, especially that Chang Biao, he looks like a monster.
An elderly forensic doctor nearby couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he went over, felt the joint, and gently pressed it inward, and the chin was reattached.
After several rounds of struggle, Xiao Yuan's previous fierceness completely dissipated. He was covered in sweat, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and he had lost all his previous toughness.
Before Xiao Yuan was even taken to the interrogation room, his file was already in Director Liu's hands.
Xiao Yuan, 29 years old, has been working at the Municipal Bureau of Supernatural Abilities for five years, and his registered supernatural ability is Super Smell. This ability allows him to trace the source of scents and construct a complete scent map in his mind, which is applicable to tracking, evidence collection, and other fields. It can be said to be a top-notch auxiliary supernatural ability that is extremely popular in field operations.
Logically speaking, a newcomer with such a special ability should be highly sought after by all the field teams after joining the company. However, when Xiao Yuan joined the company five years ago and was assigned to his post, he was assigned to the administrative department to do clerical work.
For the past five years, his daily work has mostly involved document filing and handling various trivial tasks assigned by his superiors.
For example, this city-wide arts and culture performance was entirely coordinated by the administrative department. Xiao Yuan was in charge of all the program review and stage setup. No wonder he was so familiar with the whole show, including when the performance was over and when it was safest to hide a body. These had all been planned and rehearsed countless times in Xiao Yuan's original plan. If Chen Shi hadn't found that passage, everyone would have had to search for a while longer.
Director Liu flipped through the file in his hand, his gaze occasionally drifting to Chen Shi not far away. This scheme to catch the mole had almost backfired due to flawed intelligence from above, misleading everyone and nearly causing Zhao Lei to take the blame while the real mole escaped unscathed. It was this young man, Chen Shi, who withstood the pressure, not only finding Zhao Lei's body but also turning the tide by identifying the murderer.
Putting aside his somewhat nonsensical superpowers, this kid's observation skills and logical reasoning abilities are top-notch in the bureau, making him a highly promising and malleable talent.
In the fifth field team, Sun Tiemei, due to her strong abilities, mostly disdained to think too much. The other three, including Pang Daqiang, seemed rather dim-witted. The real brain of the team was Chen Shi. Director Liu thought to himself, what was originally a ragtag team had become the bureau's ace team thanks to Chen Shi's addition; this young man's future was limitless.
The position of deputy group leader of Group Five has been vacant for a long time. We need to promote this kid to the position, firstly to recognize his achievements, and secondly to show that the bureau values him.
However, the investigation is the priority at present, and the promotion must be put on hold for the time being.
Soon, Xiao Yuan was taken into the interrogation room, where Chen Shi and Sun Tiemei were again the interrogators.
The stark white light fell on Xiao Yuan, whose face was filled with desolation. His once proud intelligence had been crushed tonight. He was a proud man and naturally did not want to be arrested and interrogated. His original plan was to end his own life the moment he was pulled up from the ground, but Chang Biao beat him to it.
Sun Tiemei's voice was stern: "What's wrong with your superpower? Tell me the truth."
Xiao Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, appearing completely deaf to the commotion. Clearly, conventional interrogation methods were ineffective against this seasoned undercover agent.
Chen Shi wasn't surprised. He just stared at Xiao Yuan and said, "When you get inside, if you have the chance, you can ask the fellow inmates I've interrogated. I never beat or verbally abuse prisoners." Sun Tiemei and Xiao Yuan were taken aback, both thinking, "Is this your opening line?"
Chen Shi never followed the conventional interrogation procedures because he had never learned them and no one had ever thought to teach him.
"Actually, there's something I'm quite curious about. Your name and ID information are real, right? So, you're receiving a regular salary from the Superpower Bureau while also working for the other party. Does that mean they're also paying your social security? Logically speaking, the same person shouldn't be paying social security for two different people at the same time. I'm really curious about that."
Xiao Yuan did not react and remained completely still.
Chen Shi asked himself and answered, "I understand now, it must be because they paid more money for you, that's why you don't care about that little bit of social security money."
"Let's talk about your special ability, your super sense of smell, a surefire field ace skill, so many people would be vying for you. Why are you stuck in the administrative department? Do you enjoy writing reports?"
