All Gods: I am a master of all professions, who dares to oppose me?
Chapter 42 Departure! North of the New Territories!
"This case is really difficult..." Fang Chang sighed, then slumped onto the table, exuding an aura of utter dejection.
"Do you have any leads?" Xu Xi smiled and asked unhurriedly.
Although it's highly improbable that a single phone call would immediately yield a clue, it would seem perfectly acceptable for Fang Chang, after all, he's known as "Officer Fang, who calculates three steps in one go"!
Just like before, when Fang Chang suddenly told the two of them that he had discovered the location of 701's underground base, Xu Xi and Detective Shi were surprised, but they didn't pry. Everyone has their own secrets, and it's better for everyone to keep some distance from each other.
Xu Xi's Rules of Human Relationships
“We do have a clue, but I’m a little worried we can’t handle it…” Fang Chang shook his head, looking utterly dejected.
"Why don't you just go on your honeymoon? This situation seems pretty dangerous..."
Xu Xi smiled gently and did not reply.
“This case really needs to be considered carefully.” Seeing that Xu Xi did not respond, Fang Chang stopped trying to persuade her. There was no point in saying more; this was the tacit understanding between men.
"Do you want me to come along?" Detective Shi was intrigued by Fang Chang's difficult words. What kind of case could make Fang Chang, who had always been in control and always said "I have a plan," look so worried?
Although he didn't say it, Detective Shi admired Fang Chang in his heart. Who wouldn't like a teammate who was both smart and good at fighting?
"Forget it, you're really not suited to participate this time..." Fang Chang refused, "Just enjoy your vacation, and I reckon the next time we meet I'll be the deputy director!"
"If you don't salute me when we meet, I'll dock your pay!"
"Tch! Waiting for you to come and confiscate it, you bastard!" Detective Shi rolled his eyes.
Since there was no need to see Xu Xi off, the group didn't linger and left the dock after tidying up.
No one knew what method Xu Xi had used, but he managed to make Tracy not only not angry after learning about the changed honeymoon plans, but also extremely considerate towards him, allowing Xu Xi to focus on the case without worrying about holding him back. This scene left Fang Chang and Detective Shi speechless with amazement, marveling at the astounding skill of this scumbag Xu Xi possessed!

In the afternoon, at the New Territories North Regional Police Station.
"Superintendent Fang! You've finally arrived! You must help us!" A middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a worried face hurried forward, grasped Fang Chang's hand, and shook it vigorously.
Behind him was a group of police officers in plainclothes.
"I am Qin Pei, the director of the New Territories North Regional Headquarters. You can just call me Lao Qin." Director Qin introduced himself with a smile, then pulled over a tall, resolute-looking man in a dark gray trench coat.
"This is Officer Liu Qiwen, who is in charge of this case!"
Fang Chang nodded to Liu Qiwen as a greeting, and then addressed the crowd: "I am Fang Chang, a senior superintendent from the General Police Department. This is my personal advisor and friend, Xu Xi."
Only then did everyone notice that there was another person following behind Fang Chang. When Xu Xi saw everyone looking over, she smiled shyly and greeted them.
"Shall we go to the conference room?"
Fang Chang smiled and glanced at the haggard-looking Director Qin. The reason why the other party was picking him up in such an almost distraught state was simply because he was his lifeline.
This Chief Qin was the New Territories North Regional Chief who watched helplessly as the invisible man wrote a note and then casually left the police station; he was also the "undercover agent" that Detective Shih was referring to.
The contents of the note were even more devastating for Director Qin. The invisible man specifically named his newborn son as the next target to be stolen!
Fang Chang expressed his utter incomprehension regarding the invisible man's actions. Throughout the entire film, this maneuver, aside from creating suspense in the early stages, had virtually no bearing on the plot development.
This behavior led to a series of consequences:
It exposed the existence of the invisible man, leading to a greater police investigation and drawing the attention of "Female Flying Hero," among other things. It completely thwarted the plans of the mastermind, Eunuch Li, but otherwise served no purpose whatsoever—a truly ineffective and divinely inspired maneuver.
If we had to draw an analogy, it would be like the late game, when we know the enemy is taking Baron Nashor, and our jungler goes in alone, unleashing a barrage of QWER attacks on Baron, helping the enemy secure it faster and giving up his own kill in the process...
Generally speaking, the family tree of such contestants will be cleared with a single click.
Of course, this excludes one of our main characters, the invisible Ren Jing, since she's part of the main cast.
In the conference room, the bureau chief led everyone to their seats.
"Bring tea, hurry up and bring tea! Don't you have any manners?" Director Qin shouted, pointing at a bewildered young man. Then he turned to Chief Fang and smiled, "Oh, I forgot to ask! What kind of drink does Superintendent Fang like?"
He was acting like a sycophant.
"Cough cough!"
Officer Liu Qiwen, sitting to Director Qin's right, sighed inwardly and then coughed lightly, signaling to his superior to be mindful of his image.
"Plain water is fine, thank you," Fang Chang replied politely.
Judging from the film, Director Qin has no other flaws besides being cowardly, timid, incompetent, and corrupt; he is a "good person."
When this guy encounters bad guys, he can't even hold a gun steady, but to save his son, he can pull out a gold worth tens of thousands of dollars without batting an eye.
In summary, although he didn't make any major contributions, he didn't hold the main characters back either.
The saying "too good to accomplish anything, and utterly incapable of causing trouble" perfectly describes this kind of person.
If the situation weren't urgent, Fang Chang would be willing to have a good chat with him about how to "make extra money," but right now, the case is more important!
"Hehe~" Director Qin forced himself to suppress his anxiety and chuckled awkwardly, "Come, come, Lao Liu, tell Superintendent Fang about this case!"
Liu Qiwen nodded, then stood up and went to the whiteboard in the conference room. He turned on the projector and began to briefly describe the case:
"The first baby theft occurred three months ago, at that time..."
"After the third case occurred, we realized that things might not be so simple, so we immediately set up a special task force to conduct a systematic investigation into the case..."
“Each time the crime occurred, there were no witnesses, and the perpetrator could not be seen through the surveillance footage. The babies seemed to have vanished into thin air, and our investigation was at a standstill…”
"Until yesterday..."
"Until yesterday, an invisible man brazenly barged into the police station! He left a message right in front of us, saying he wanted to kidnap my son!" Chief Qin finally couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly interjected, "Superintendent Fang, you don't know, there was nothing in front of me at the time, I just saw words appearing on a piece of white paper!"
Liu Qiwen stopped somewhat helplessly, watching his old boss lose his composure once again.
"Tap—tap—tap—"
A confident smile played on Fang Chang's lips as one long, slender, pale finger tapped rhythmically on the table. He waited until Director Qin finished speaking before speaking:
“I have already learned about the case on my way here. Based on the information that Officer Liu just gave me, I have a small question I would like to ask you all.”
"Tell us, tell us, we'll definitely give you an answer!" Director Qin loosened his tie and said quickly.
