"You say Jiang Cheng is innocent? Fine, I accept that!"
"Qianfeng and Qiu Yue were apprehended by our own hands! They even confessed, so why hand them over?"
Qingping looked expressionlessly at Bai Zhi and then asked, "Director Bai, do you still rember the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau?"
Bai Zhi was stunned for a mont.
Qingping answered her own question, "To combat Awakener cris and solve cases involving Extraordinary Power."
After speaking, she gave Bai Zhi a deep look and said, "In this incident..."
"Although all the suspects are Awakeners, they... did not use their abilities to commit cris."
"They are only guilty of misconduct in office."
"And such misconduct falls under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Departnt."
Having said that, Qingping sighed softly, "Transfer the case."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi stood there, dumbfounded.
Qingping was right.
The main responsibility of the Security Bureau indeed is to combat Awakener cris. To solve cases involving Transcendent power. Of course, when a situation might jeopardize the safety of the Federation or State, the Security Bureau also has the priority to handle it.
But... once the level of the incident is determined or if there are no Awakener cris, then the cases no longer fall under the Security Bureau's authority.
Therefore, according to the procedures and nature of the case, transferring it to the Supervisory Departnt is within regulations and the law.
It's just that... she had just caught Jiang Cheng slipping up, and Fang Ze had painstakingly extracted so much information, only to just hand it all over for nothing?
She couldn't accept it!
Perhaps reading her mood, Qingping said, "Of course, the bureau has taken note of your team's contributions in this case."
"Fang Ze will be promoted one level, to First-Class Commissioner."
"The other commissioners involved in the case will also be appropriately rewarded and comnded."
"This way, you also have explanations for them."
Upon hearing Qingping's words, the tight grip of Bai Zhi's hand finally began to relax....
She took a deep breath and just as she was about to reluctantly nod in agreent,
Right then, suddenly, a loud noise ca from the doorway.
"You can't go in!?"
"The officers are in a eting!"
"Who are you? Why are you forcibly barging into the eting?"
"Step aside! I am Fang Ze, the deputy head of the Special Case Team! There's a Special Case Team eting, what's the issue with , the deputy head, going in!?"
Amidst the commotion, the conference room door was pushed open from the outside with force.
Fang Ze, decorated with several commissioner badges, barged in regardless.
Upon hearing the noise and the door opening, the six people in the room all turned to look at the source of the sound.
Seeing this scene, Qingping's face tightened slightly, and she couldn't help but scold, "This is ridiculous! What do you think you're doing? Have you no basic professional deanor of a commissioner?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Bai Zhi and then questioned, "Director Bai! Are these the subordinates you manage? Are they all so reckless to crash a eting like this?"
"Won't you have him removed?!"
Upon hearing her words, Bai Zhi opened her mouth as if to say sothing, but Fang Ze gestured with his hand, silencing Bai Zhi.
Then Fang Ze patted the hands of the commissioners still clinging onto him, signaling for them to let go of him first.
After that, he looked at Qingping, saluted, and said, "Officer. I'm not causing a scene."
"When the Special Case Team was established, Officer Bai Zhi was appointed as the head, and I was made deputy head."
"Officer Bai Zhi is often too busy with bureau affairs, so the majority of the Special Case Team's work is my responsibility."
"Now that the officers are having a eting about this case, how could I, the person in charge of the specific tasks, not be present?"
"If the officers encounter any issues, there wouldn't even be soone available to consult!"
With that, he turned to Bai Zhi and said, "Isn't that right, Officer Bai Zhi?"
At this point, Bai Zhi had almost given in to Qingping's combination of intimidation and inducent.
Seeing Fang Ze now, it was as if she had found her backbone.

It seems as if, as long as they're present, the sky won't collapse, and one feels incredibly assured inside.
With this thought, a smile appeared on Bai Zhi's face. She then looked at Qingping and said seriously, "Deputy Director Qing, Fang Ze is right."
"The Special Case Team, in fact, I'm just a figurehead. The hands-on work has always been done by Fang Ze."
"There are so matters that you may need to seek his opinion on."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Qingping's face turned ashen.
But she still suppressed her emotions, then looked at Fang Ze and scoffed coldly, "Fine. Since the Special Case Team is under your command."
"Then I'll inform you of the situation. Let's see what your opinion is."
With that, she asked, "Commissioner Fang Ze, what is the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau?"
Fang Ze waved dismissively at the commissioners who had tried to stop him earlier, signaling them to leave, and then casually shut the door behind him as he naturally took the seventh seat, before replying, "To combat cris by Awakeners. To solve Awakener cri cases. To protect the internal security of the Federation."
Qingping nodded and then said, "Since you know that, I won't waste more words."
"The state has reviewed and acknowledged your contributions to the case."
"However, it has also determined that there were no Awakener criminal actions in this case; rather, it was official misconduct."
"Therefore, it has been decided to transfer the case to the State Supervision Departnt."
"Do you have any objections?"
Qingping had already used this approach once before. It was logical and according to the regulations. So, everyone in the room thought Fang Ze would be unable to refute.
