[ Genius Detective, Solving the Mysterious Case of Missing Gold within a Few Short Hours! ]
[ The Sherlock Holmes of our Nation! ]
[ A Criminal’s Worst Nightmare! A Young Hero has Emerged Within the Ocean City Police Department! ]
In an instant, Qin Feng’s face was plastered throughout the headlines of the media, and his fame had soared to unimaginable heights. The video of him explaining his thought process was shared to several websites, and it had attracted a large amount of attention from the netizens, earning him plenty of praise in the process.
“What are these robbers thinking? I can’t believe they have the guts to return for the gold. They’re really tired of living, aren’t they?”
“I originally found the robbers to be quite intelligent, but it seems I’ve overestimated them. Before the gallant Officer Qin Feng, they are but bumbling fools.”
“Great Divine Detective Qin, you’re an inspiration to us all. If you don’t have a girlfriend, please consider me!”
“Officer Qin Feng is the pride of Ocean City!”
“It’s just as I said, the officers from Ocean City are the best!”
“…”
All kinds of flattering praises about Qin Feng had appeared on the internet. Public opinion of the Ocean City police force was overturned in an instant, and it was as if the outrage from earlier was nothing but a dream.
The instigator of Qin Feng’s sudden fame, Captain Liu Chao, was also a little dumbfounded. He was not in his right mind that day, as he was overjoyed by the solving of the case, and had only wanted to emphasize Qin Feng’s contributions. However, he had never expected his words to cause Qin Feng’s fame to erupt in this manner.
“Not bad, kid!”
“Your future is bright, Qin Feng!”
“He has strong analytical abilities. I’m sure he’ll grow into a fearsome cop in the future.”
Not only were the netizens and media praising Qin Feng, countless big shots saw the report and had a great impression of Qin Feng as well.
“Hahaha, good, well done! Not bad!”
A burst of hearty laughter came from Ocean City’s Police Chief, Li Dahe’s office. Li Dahe was watching Qin Feng’s interview video, and he was laughing so hard that he had tears streaming down his eyes. He gave Qin Feng’s shoulder a hearty pat. At long last, he had made a comeback. Li Dahe, who was always reprimanded for the Ocean City Police Department’s poor performance had finally turned the tables. It had been ages since his department had received such praise.
Applause~
“Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the case. The reward that you have received for solving this case is — Mermaid Tears.”
The familiar mechanical voice rang out once more, and at the same time, a lightning-like beam of light entered Qin Feng’s brain.
Upon hearing the term Mermaid Tears, Qin Feng’s curiosity was immediately piqued. He asked the system what was the use of the item and learned that it was a skill that allowed him to breathe freely underwater, just like a fish.
Qin Feng felt that this skill was not bad. If there were any dangerous situations in the future, he would be able escape through waterways.
However, Qin Feng suddenly remembered that he did not receive any rewards for the second case. He snuck a glance at Chief Li and his captain who were busy going over the interview video over and over again. Once he was certain that they were not paying him any attention, he then asked the system, “System, is it just me, or did the previous case not give me any rewards?”
“Yes, not every case will have a reward.”
The system answered Qin Feng.
Qin Feng nodded, enlightened. He thought that he had found a bug within the system. After ensuring that the system was functioning properly, he then turned towards his superiors who were discussing animatedly. The more he observed them, the more he regretted not fleeing from Captain Liu’s grasp the other day.
Within one of the most high-end villas of Ocean City — Shanhai Pavilion!
Mu Qianqian’s father, Mu Hongfa, was reading his newspaper, whereas her mother, Ren Jie, was browsing through the television channels. Suddenly, she spotted Qin Feng’s interview.
“Hongfa, look, that seems to be Qin Feng!” Ren Jie looked at the television and turned towards Mu Hongfa.
“Hmm? It really seems to be Qin Feng.”
Mu Hongfa walked to his wife’s side and plopped down onto the couch.
Ren Jie looked at Mu Hongfa and said with a smile, “Qianqian really has good taste. This young man, Qin Feng, is quite capable. This time, he managed to solve the robbery of Ocean City’s No.1 Bank within a few short hours. It seems that Qin Feng has played a major part in solving the case.”
“I could already tell that this kid has potential since the previous incident. Not bad.”
Mu Hongfa said with a smile. Mu Hongfa had a very good impression of Qin Feng from the case of the Wind Pavilion last time.
“Yeah, we didn’t get to have a proper conversation the last time we met. I need to give Qianqian a call and ask how they are getting along. He’s such a good child, I must force Qianqian to bring him home in the next few days. Let’s talk to him properly and settle matters as soon as possible!”
Ren Jie searched for her phone as she spoke.
“Why are you still in such a hurry? It’s not like there’s a lack of suitors for our dear daughter.”
Mu Hongfa looked at his wife who was looking all over the place for her phone and chuckled. He then took out his phone and handed it to her whilst teasing her.
Ren Jie glared at Mu Hongfa. “What would you know? Our Qianqian is very outstanding, sure, but Qin Feng is also a good child. Recall the last time we met. He was well-mannered, polite, and well-behaved. Our daughter might never be able to find such a good man again. It’s our loss if we don’t take the initiative and secure him.”
“Okay, okay, okay. The wife is always right. Though, I would like to have a heart-to-heart with Qin Feng as well, so let’s call them back for a meal.”
Mu Hongfa looked at his and smiled.
The Ocean City Police Department was bustling with activity.
“Qin Feng, you’re amazing. You’re really a big shot now!”
“Qin Feng, you’ve solved three major cases consecutively! You’re gonna make it big soon, I’m sure of it!”
“Qin Feng, how did you predict their next move? Tell me all about it.”
“Our department is famous now, all because of you, Qin Feng.”
“Yeah, when this case first happened, our department was under fire. If it weren’t for you, we would have been in deep waters right about now.”
“Our nation’s Sherlock Holmes. Qin Feng, you’re really amazing.”
The non-stop praises were starting to frighten Qin Feng a little. In all honesty, he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
However, it was not surprising for everyone to react in this manner. It was a nail-biting case where the department’s reputation was at stake, and thus, everyone had been anxious regarding the results of the case.

Moreover, Qin Feng’s performance was indeed worthy of praise.
In any case, Qin Feng had made a name for himself this time!
In the bureau chief’s office!
Qin Feng felt that the number of times he had come to the bureau chief’s office in the past two days alone had surpassed most of his colleagues’ visits throughout their lifetime.
Bureau Chief Li Dahe looked at Qin Feng. With a smile on his face, he said, “Lil’ Qin, you’ve done very well this time. I have to praise you again. Also, there’s something I wish to tell you.. In view of your contributions to the department’s image as well as your performance in this case, we’ve decided to award you with the First-class Merit Award this time! What do you think?”
