If we can't catch them, we can't catch them; at most, I'll just get scolded a couple of times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally worried that Li Lei would be targeted by Wu Yihua because of the Green-Faced Ghost affair, but hearing Li Lei say this, he realized he had subconsciously projected his past-life perspective onto the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era where one cannot check surveillance, fingerprints, or DNA, a low case-clearance rate was the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then if this person continues to commit crimes, and you still can't catch them, is that also fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei’s smile faded: \"If the matter blows up, we will request the intervention of the Stop-Conflict Academy, and might even have the mages from the Justice Academy come to help solve the case. If we still can't catch them even then, it won't be the responsibility of a captain like me alone; everyone will have to take the blame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mages from the Justice Academy can also solve cases?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked with a curious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Justice Academy has some techniques specifically used for tracking and searching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With these techniques, once they take action, they must be able to solve the case, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not necessarily true; these techniques have limitations. You were never interested in these things before, why are you suddenly curious today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, I read a detective novel recently and got a bit curious about real-life case solving, so I wanted to hear you talk about it, Uncle Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei immediately perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Fei and Li Tianyu were young, he loved telling them stories about solving cases. Later, as they grew up, they gradually lost interest in his stories, which had made Li Lei feel a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Fei was suddenly interested in case solving, he was naturally happy to tell Li Fei all about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, along the way, Li Lei told Li Fei about many of the Inspectorate’s methods for solving cases, as well as how the Stop-Conflict Academy and the Justice Academy would intervene and take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Li Lei was still eager to talk, and Li Fei was satisfied with what he had heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for having an uncle in a high-ranking position at the Inspectorate, Li Fei really wouldn't know where to learn about these inside details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green-Faced Ghost walked into the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, gusts of wind were blowing, and the sound of muffled thunder echoed in the sky; it was clearly about to rain heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked up at the sky and strode forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he was led outside a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four or five burly men were guarding the outside; seeing Li Fei appear, they all adopted an obvious defensive posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person leading the way opened the door of the private room for Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei walked in; inside, besides Zhang Mingze, there was also a man standing in the corner holding a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei’s attention was caught by this person at first glance, and he looked him up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hao Yi was teaching him blade techniques, he had once told him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A month for the staff, a year for the blade, ten years for the sword, a hundred years for the spear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff and the blade were the two weapons easiest to get started with; the others, like axes or hammers, were also easy to pick up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sword and the spear were different; these two weapons were very difficult, and many people could practice for over a decade and still be laymen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the pugilistic world, those who dare to use a sword are either idiots or masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the advice Hao Yi had given Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Blade Gang’s Private Secretary wouldn't bring an idiot along, so this swordsman in the corner must be a master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uses a sword, a master, a member of the Tiger Blade Gang—it must be Zong Guang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A name flashed through Li Fei’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Zhang Mingze: \"The Private Secretary has brought many people today; are you planning to double-cross me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze laughed loudly and gestured for Li Fei to come over and sit:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are overthinking it; this is the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold, who would dare to mess around here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything the Tiger Blade Gang doesn't dare to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said as he walked over and sat on the sofa opposite Zhang Mingze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are too many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze shook his head, \"There is still work to be done today, so I brought a few more men; you don't need to worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the thing I wanted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze picked up a small briefcase from the side, placed it on the coffee table between them, then opened the briefcase and turned it around to show Li Fei the contents:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The protective gear you wanted, level three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the briefcase was a dark green leather garment with faint white patterns on it; it looked like it was made from the skin of some kind of python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei very straightforwardly pulled a dagger from his waist, took the protective gear out of the case, and used the dagger to cut it with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a common method for testing protective gear: directly piercing and cutting with a dagger, and judging the level of the gear based on the tactile feedback, the deformation of the garment, the marks left behind, and other factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei had done detailed homework beforehand, so his testing technique was very professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute later, he finished the test, put the protective gear back into the briefcase, closed it, and carried it in his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The transaction is complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he stood up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze hurriedly called out to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze’s posture was a bit more relaxed than before, and he smiled: \"Our cooperation this time was very pleasant; we can discuss further cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei sat back down: \"How do you want to cooperate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill another corrupt official, how about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze looked at Li Fei with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei looked at him with cold eyes: \"A subordinate official just died; if we kill another official, the Stop-Conflict Academy and the Justice Academy might both intervene. I refuse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Li Fei’s refusal, Zhang Mingze actually relaxed a bit more; he nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, no rush then; we can cooperate on other things later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you can afford the price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei pointed to the briefcase, then stood up and walked toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze stood up to symbolically see Li Fei off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Fei reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhang Mingze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one thing I have always wanted, I just don't know if your Tiger Blade Gang can afford it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile of total control appeared on Zhang Mingze’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't afraid of Li Fei asking for too much; only by having desires could he better control Li Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Shua—*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a brilliant blade light lit up inside the private room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dull thunder exploded over the sky of Xingcheng, and hundreds of millions of raindrops fell in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrential rain poured over the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1551,"2026-06-25T10:09:32.527Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3a9d3aff95937d9f4fa0c5e2fb65f788a4fc87abc398dab97d809152d14d5996","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-120","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-118",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
