Chapter 32: The Ban of the Extraterrestrial Civilization

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "Relying solely on your word to apply for a search of this level is probably insufficient. Do you have evidence?"

"Team Leader," Teng Feiyu couldn't help but say, "Do you think I would lie to you?"

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "First, you must have a reason worthy of my trust. Just because you wear this patrol uniform, must I trust your empty words?"

Teng Feiyu frowned and said, "Then what will make you believe me?"

"Tell me first, who are you?"

Lin Qing looked at him. "VIP members of the underground boxing ring are either wealthy or noble; how did you manage to befriend them and even get them drunk?"

Teng Feiyu fell silent.

"Not wanting to say is fine," Lin Qing said casually. "As long as you can produce solid evidence, you can still apply for a search."

Teng Feiyu fell silent again for a moment before saying, "My father is the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

"You surnamed Teng," Lin Qing said.

He had specifically checked; the Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau surnamed Chu.

"I take my mother's surname."

Teng Feiyu unlocked his phone and said in a low voice, "This is a family photo of us. If you think it's a composite, this is a video of me and my father taken on my birthday, or I can video call my father right now; you can watch from the side."

"Alright," Lin Qing nodded slightly. "I will tentatively believe you."

He had long guessed Teng Feiyu was a second-generation heir here to polish his resume; the reaction of the branch chief confirmed this.

Now that he said so, it was merely to confirm exactly what background the other party had.

"Your father is the Municipal Bureau Director, yet you came to the branch as a patrol officer?" Lin Qing asked. "Do you want to earn merit and polish your resume?"

"Earn merit and polish my resume?"

Teng Feiyu was already used to this team leader's bluntness; he frowned slightly and said, "I never thought of such things; I just wanted to investigate the underground boxing ring case."

"How did you get to know these VIP members? And they all got drunk because of you?" Lin Qing asked.

"I had a few friends disguise my identity; I pretended to be a rich second-generation heir," Teng Feiyu said. "I spent a lot of money and staged some scenes; only after they got drunk did they speak out."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Outsiders cannot enter the boxing ring; as long as there is no evidence, speaking out indeed means nothing."

"Does the Team Leader believe me now? Can we apply for a search?" Teng Feiyu asked.

"Look, you're impatient again."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Even if we can actually obtain a search warrant, without evidence, we can only force our way in and conduct a forced search. Once confirmed, such a serious crime often carries the death penalty; the underground force you mentioned, the 'Yan Hong Society', will inevitably erupt in resistance."

Once discovered, it means death; it is better to silence witnesses, destroy evidence, and withdraw.

Even fugitives dare to kill official patrol officers to escape with their lives; how could such a dark underground force not dare?

The areas outside the urban circle are relatively chaotic; surveillance systems in many regions have been destroyed, and places suspected of underground forces certainly still have large-scale signal jamming.

Therefore, promotions in the current public security system have strict combat power requirements.

"Tell me first, what is the armed strength of the Yan Hong Society's underground boxing ring?" Lin Qing said. "Did you investigate this?"

Teng Feiyu nodded. "I asked about it indirectly."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Judging from the descriptions of those VIP members, the armed strength of the underground boxing ring mainly lies in the security personnel using 'Super-Hunting Compound Bows'; there are at least dozens of them."

"Super-Hunting Compound Bows?" Lin Qing pondered thoughtfully.

In some aspects, if trained personnel use such high-performance compound bows, the threat might be even greater than ordinary firearms.

"Then there are those boxers," Teng Feiyu said. "Ordinary boxers aside, the main threats are the senior boxers and the Boxing Kings."

"Senior boxers? Boxing Kings?" Lin Qing looked at Teng Feiyu.

"These boxers all have criminal records and are exploited by the boxing ring; they almost cannot learn combat techniques."

Teng Feiyu explained, "Senior boxers are those who have mastered the 46-version combat technique. The fugitive brothers you caught a few days ago, Team Leader, were likely senior boxers. The Boxing Kings are those who have mastered the 77-version combat technique, but the number of Boxing Kings is very small."

Lin Qing nodded slightly. However, he didn't care much in his heart; after cultivating combat techniques, combat power is completely different.

"Additionally, I heard the underground boxing ring also has a 'Boss' who holds the place together."

Teng Feiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is said that a Boxing King once tried to resist but was knocked down by a single strike from a Boss, so it is possible that... he has cultivated combat techniques."

Lin Qing was not surprised at all.

Although only those within the law can learn combat techniques, there are countless lawbreakers and criminals.

Those outside the regulations cannot learn combat techniques mainly because of the restrictions on visualization diagrams; it is difficult to spread them, otherwise they would be everywhere long ago.

"Does the underground boxing ring have firearms?" Lin Qing asked.

"That's impossible," Teng Feiyu stated confidently.

"So certain?" Lin Qing looked at him.

"It seems the Team Leader doesn't know?" Teng Feiyu shook his head and said, "Firearm control is not a regulation of the World Government, but a ban of the Urban Circle."

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "A ban of the Urban Circle?"

"The Urban Circle was invested in and constructed by the Wisdom Star Group, an extraterrestrial civilization."

Teng Feiyu said softly, "It is said that the Wisdom Star Group possesses super-technology capable of monitoring illegal firearms across the entire Earth. Once they discover an Earthling violating the ban, they will inevitably be captured by the Wisdom Star Group; even the World Government has no authority to intervene."

"The Wisdom Star Group, why ban firearms?" Lin Qing didn't quite understand.

If it were because they feared firearms, that would be purely a joke.

Even the Qinghu Island fugitives don't fear firearms, but the Qinghu Island fugitives are no different from ants in front of the Wisdom Star Group.

Banning technological development?

But after the apocalypse, Earth was able to rebuild, and technological development became even more brilliant; the Wisdom Star Group never interfered, maintaining a completely laissez-faire attitude.

"I don't know either."

Teng Feiyu shook his head and hesitated before saying, "But actually, the Wisdom Star Group also bans crossbows; they pay little attention to powerful bows and arrows. It seems they don't care about the threat level of weapons, but only control the types of weapons."

"Only controlling weapon types?" Lin Qing understood even less.

After all, he was just a commoner; he had never even been to the Urban Circle, so naturally, he didn't know these things.

Even in the eyes of the Wisdom Star Group, even the officials counted for nothing; only true elites were qualified to reside in the metropolitan circle.

"So it seems the Kite Red Society indeed has no firearms..."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, lost in thought.

"Definitely not," Teng Feiyu said. "No matter how vast an underground power, it is as insignificant as floating dust before the Wisdom Star Group; how could they dare to court death?"

He paused, then added, "Although they lack firearms, if they have groups of archers, the threat is actually not much less than that of guns."

"I understand," Lin Qing nodded.

Bullets fire faster, but modern compound bows boast higher technological content; even super-hunting compound bows used by ordinary people can reach speeds above 600 fps, approaching two hundred meters per second.

With special arrows, the kinetic energy is likely greater than that of some handgun bullets.

It is just that, compared to firearms, bows and arrows require more personal skill and physical fitness to wield effectively.

"Team Leader, apply for a search warrant."

Teng Feiyu looked seriously at Lin Qing. "The armed forces of the Kite Red Society's underground boxing ring are indeed not to be underestimated, but as long as we prepare well, with the Acting Captain leading and the team leaders using firearms, we can absolutely suppress them."

As an inspector and a member of Team Seven, he could not overstep his authority; he must first apply to Lin Qing, the Team Leader.

Lin Qing pondered in silence.

After a while, he finally spoke: "The Kite Red Society's underground boxing ring has existed for quite some time, hasn't it? Why do you think it hasn't been shut down until now?"
