Chapter 87: A Detective Can't Afford to Raise Your Few Spiritual Plants [2-in-1]
Chapter 87: A Detective Can't Afford to Raise Your Few Spiritual Plants [Part Two]
When Professor Luo Wan and Detective Hao Ke arrived at the entrance of the Shanpan Garden residential area in their police car with a team of detectives, they startled the security personnel in the guard post.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a large-scale event.
Normally, if there is any disturbance in the community, the security personnel will either handle it themselves or contact the police station.
It's really rare to see a whole combat squad of police officers arrive in the middle of the night like this.
Detective Hao Ke's police car was at the very front of the convoy.
As he approached the entrance of the Shanpan Garden residential complex, he rolled down his car window and waved to the security personnel.
Seeing the security personnel jogging over, he immediately flashed his police ID without saying a word.
"Open the door, get in the car, and lead the way to Villa No. 16."
Upon seeing the police officer's ID and hearing Detective Hao Ke's order, the security personnel did not hesitate at all, immediately pressing the gate opening button and getting into the car.
This security guard was quite knowledgeable; with just a glance, he knew that this group of people were genuine police detectives.
But he didn't forget his responsibilities. After getting in the car, he picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to the community's monitoring room.
Detective Hao Ke scrutinized the security personnel in the rearview mirror but did not stop them.
The roads within the Mountainside Garden residential community are not complicated, and vehicles can drive right up to the front door of each villa.
When Detective Hao and his team arrived at Villa 16, they hadn't even gotten out of the car when they heard two muffled thuds coming from inside the villa.
Is a fight breaking out?
Professor Rowan became extremely anxious upon hearing the noise. He hurriedly opened the car door, intending to rush into the villa.
Detective Hao Ke reacted quickly, grabbing his old friend and shoving him backward.
Professor Rowan stumbled and fell into the arms of a junior detective.
"Why are you rushing around? Just stand back and watch, don't make things worse."
Inspector Hao Ke gave Professor Rowan a disgruntled look and complained without any politeness, while also giving instructions to the junior detective who caught Professor Rowan.
"Xiao Liu, I'm handing the man over to you. Take Professor Luo and stand in the back."
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, Detective Liu swiftly grabbed Professor Rowan's arm and strode towards the back.
Professor Rowan anxiously looked back towards the villa, arguing with Xiao Liu while muttering to himself.
"Alright, alright, we don't need to go that far."
As if he couldn't hear, Xiao Liu dragged Professor Luo Wan to the very back of all the police cars.
Detective Hao Ke didn't rush to break down the door, but kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the villa.
He held the gun at his waist with one hand and raised the other, gesturing to the agents who were rushing over from behind.
He glanced at the agents and saw them all moving before he began to quickly sketch the summoning circle, and the figure of Black Card Beddim solidified above the summoning circle.
North Carolina, a well-trained lightning-type canine pet, has fought alongside Detective Hauke for many years.
The spiritual energy of the summoning array behind them lit up one after another, and the pets of each agent showed extremely high quality after they appeared.
Not only did they remain completely silent, but they also quickly moved to their designated positions under the command of their respective beast tamers.
Among them was a spirit plant expert agent who stood very cautiously at the back of the group, summoning a transcendent demon vine.
As soon as the devil vine appeared, it clung to the ground and walls, extending rapidly forward.
It's clear that this is a well-trained and experienced team of agents.
Detective Chief Hao Ke had been personally leading this team of agents for a long time, and they had tackled many tough challenges, so he was very confident and focused all his energy on the villa.
Apart from those two muffled thuds, no other sounds came out at this moment.
After observing for a few seconds and finding nothing unusual, Chief Inspector Haoke raised his right hand, just about to give the signal to move forward, when he suddenly noticed a change in the spiritual energy around him.
Spatial spiritual energy fluctuations.
North Carolina crouched down, blocking Detective Hauke's path, his eyes fixed on the sky in one direction.
As North Carolina reacted, the agents and their pets, who were originally in a triangular formation, immediately adjusted their positions and formed a circle.
Before long, a spatial distortion rift appeared in mid-air, and the struggling, bloodthirsty hyena fell out of the rift.
The bloodthirsty hyena suppressed the dizziness and struggled to adjust its posture in mid-air, barely managing to land on all fours.
As soon as it landed, it cautiously looked around and found itself in an encirclement. Instantly, its fur stood on end, it bared its teeth, and let out a series of low growls.
Detective Hao Ke stared intently at the bloodthirsty hyena. His intuition told him that this dog was no pushover; the smell of blood on it was too strong.
At the same time, his mind was also working, quickly recalling the information he had gathered.
The person who called the police, Ge Bai, was a plant spirit master. The police responded within 20 minutes. Ge Bai provided very clear information: the burglars were two beast tamers. She did not mention that she had any companions.
Professor Luo Wan briefly explained Ge Bai's situation on the way; she has a space-type spiritual plant.
This seemingly unharmed, bloodthirsty hyena was teleported out by spatial abilities.
That makes it quite obvious: this bloodthirsty hyena is the pet of the two beast tamers who broke into the house.
"Control the enemy!"
Having figured this out, Inspector Hao Ke gave the order directly.
Even if they are not the enemy, their sudden appearance at the police station while they are investigating a case still needs to be controlled.
However, when facing the enemy, the methods used can be less restricted.
North Carolina charged forward first, tearing its jaws off the bloodthirsty hyena's throat.
The hyena was no pushover either; it suddenly retreated, its neck fur bristling like steel spikes.
Seeing this, North Carolina had no choice but to stop and retreat quickly.
But it's not a big problem. This combat squad has a full complement of 7 people and has summoned 9 pet beasts, all of which are at the Transcendent Realm.
Although their individual skill levels range from the early to mid-stages of the Transcendent Realm, their strength lies in their numbers and excellent teamwork. After all, they haven't crossed major stages, so dealing with a high-level Transcendent Realm Bloodthirsty Mad Hyena isn't difficult.
The moment North Carolina and the hyena made contact, six or seven skills were mercilessly unleashed upon the hyena, including two combo attacks.
How could a one-on-one fight possibly occur during a police investigation? It would definitely be a group brawl.
The devil vine had been waiting in the shadows all along.
Seeing that this wave of skills had overturned the hyena, the Devil Vine quickly extended forward without hesitation and tied the hyena up tightly.
As expected of a vine-type spiritual plant, this binding technique is much smoother than using willow branches.
From the moment the hyena appeared to the moment the police combat team subdued it, the entire process took no more than 3 minutes.
Ge Bai led Da Liu to the front door. When they opened the door, they saw only a group of uniformed agents, a group of imposing pets, and a devilish vine cocoon on the ground.
One person and one willow stared blankly at the scene, while the agents who had just finished fighting also turned their heads at the same time to look at the suddenly opened villa door.
At that moment, both sides fell silent.
This can't go on. After thinking for a moment, Ge Bai decided to say something.
She simply turned to the side, pushed open the door, stood to one side of it, gave a smile, and said something to the group of agents in front of her.
"Gentlemen, please come in?"
Not a single agent moved, but some had already raised their fists to their mouths, pursed their lips, and made a coughing gesture, as if afraid of bursting out laughing.
Detective Hao Ke remained calm, having been observing her ever since Ge Bai led Da Liu out of the door.
When the girl said "Please come in," Detective Hao Ke almost lost his composure.
He shook his head and stepped forward.
As he walked, he didn't forget to glare at the few detectives who had their heads down.
He's made up his mind that anyone he hears laughing out loud will have to go to extra practice tomorrow.
"Ge Bai? I'm Detective Hao Ke from the Major Crimes Unit of the Beijing-Hong Kong Police Department."
Detective Hao Ke walked up to Ge Bai and extended his right hand to her.
"Hello, Inspector Hao Ke, this is Ge Bai."
Ge Bai took two steps forward, walked down the steps, and quietly grasped Detective Hao Ke's outstretched right hand.
"Gobai! How are you? Are you alright?"
Before the two could exchange more than a few words, Professor Rowan's voice came from afar.
Professor Luo Wan strode towards Ge Bai, with Xiao Liu following closely behind.
Upon seeing Professor Rowan, Ge Bai breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing completely, and a genuine smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Ge Bai had been tense all night, and now that he's relaxed, he suddenly feels very tired.
"Professor Rowan."
Aside from calling out "Professor Rowan," Gobai didn't know what else to say or where to begin.
Professor Rowan, on the other hand, had a lot to say.
"Are you sure you're not injured?"
Ge Bai smiled and shook his head.
"How dare you be so bold! Losing resources is no big deal, why don't you just stay away!"
"Having only been a spirit plant master for a few days, he dares to stake out a high-level transcendent beast tamer?"
"You two fought? Where are they? Did they escape?"
……
Gobe had no idea that Professor Rowan was so fussy and long-winded.
She didn't realize that she had truly frightened Professor Rowan this time.
If something were to happen to Ge Bai, not only would a promising young talent be lost, but Professor Luo Wan wouldn't know how to explain it to his old friend.
"Professor Luo, please wait a moment. Let Ge Bai explain the situation first."
Detective Hao Ke frowned as he watched Professor Rowan endlessly berate Ge Bai.
Can you grasp the key points?
He now controls one pet beast, but doesn't he also have two high-level beast tamers in the Transcendent Realm?
Ge Bai had recovered by now and quickly responded.
"The two beast tamers and the two pets have all been knocked unconscious and tied up. They're all in the basement right now."
As he spoke, Ge Bai walked into the villa's living room and pointed to the entrance to the basement staircase.
Upon hearing what Gobai said, Detective Haoke grabbed her, pushed her and Professor Rowan towards Xiao Liu, then turned around and made a hand gesture towards the combat team.
The combat team agents, accompanied by their pets, quickly rushed into the basement stairwell entrance.
They had clearly filtered out the information automatically: two beast tamers, two pets, and a basement.
As for what Ge Bai said about knocking them unconscious and tying them up, nobody took it seriously.
A group of people rushed to the basement and were once again shocked by what they saw.
There were indeed four rice dumplings, large and small, tied together with willow branches and scattered throughout the basement.
A cluster of orchids floated in mid-air, tilting its head and looking at them.
"La~"
Xiao Lanhua was startled when she saw a group of uniformed agents rushing in, but she quickly calmed down.
The uniforms these people are wearing are the same as those worn by the respectable people I saw on TV a couple of days ago, so they must be good people.
Ge Bai followed her down and, seeing that Chiyo Ran was still dutifully guarding the basement, gently waved to her.
"Chiyo, come here."
In a flash, Chiyoran rushed into Ge Bai's arms.
Detective Hao Ke scanned the entire basement, his gaze fixed intently on Ge Bai.
Feeling Detective Hao Ke's gaze, Ge Bai, holding Chiyo, casually introduced her to him.
"The person in front of the spirit energy room is Xiong Dong, and the person in the far corner is Xiong Xia."
"The one lying next to Xiong Dong is Xiong Xia's pet Nemanjin beaver. The beaver chewed open the door."
"This one in the corner is Xiong Dong's pet beast, the Spirit-Eating Rat."
In just a few simple sentences, the contents of the four willow-leaf rice dumplings were clearly explained.
At this moment, the devil vine also climbed in, looking at the willow branch rice dumplings on the ground with some curiosity.
The vines crept forward quietly, gently swaying the willow branches twice.
The spirit plant expert agent who had contracted with the Devil Vine did not stop his pet's behavior, but looked up at Inspector Howe.
Detective Hao Ke nodded to him, and the plant expert walked over to the Devil Vine and whispered a few words to it.
The devil vine tied the four willow-leaf rice dumplings together again and dragged them out of the basement.
The other agents also got busy, some taking photos, some measuring, and some recording.
Detective Hao Ke relaxed when he saw that there was no longer any danger at the scene.
Professor Rowan wasn't about to let Ge Bai off so easily. Standing in the basement, looking at the mess, he forced Ge Bai to recount the whole story from beginning to end.
They even paid attention to details like where the golf clubs were picked up.
Ge Bai's mouth was dry from talking.
Detective Hao listened with great interest.
"Ge Bai, would you be interested in interning at our police station for a while?"
He couldn't resist and extended an invitation to Gobain in front of Professor Rowan.
"If you perform exceptionally well, you will not only receive generous rewards, but you can also be directly hired by the Beijing-Hong Kong Police Department without taking any tests after graduation."
Getting into the Metropolitan Police Department is no easy feat; every year, it's a highly competitive process with countless applicants vying for limited spots.
Detective Hao Ke has opened a green channel for talent introduction for Ge Bai.
Earlier in the police car, he was joking with Professor Rowan, but now, after listening to Gobe recount the events of the past half-day in detail, he truly felt a sense of admiration for Gobe's talent.
From Detective Hao Ke's perspective, Ge Bai was a natural-born detective.
Meticulous, cautious, bold, and resourceful—Judging from how Ge Bai handled this matter, she possesses all the qualities an excellent detective should have.
Putting aside the difference in skill level, even a seasoned detective, if faced with such a situation and in this environment alone, could not possibly handle it better than Gobai.
"Have you distributed your bonuses from last quarter? Can any reward be as generous as our Spirit Plant Research Institute's?"
Professor Rowan rolled his eyes and said to Gobai.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. A detective can't afford to support your few spiritual plants."
