Bart explained, "It all comes down to this case involving a thousand people."
The higher-ups called a meeting for us candidates.
They asked who was confident they could solve the case.
Those people dared not agree, fearing that they would be unable to solve the case, causing negative consequences and jeopardizing their future promotions.
Only I agreed, saying I could solve the case.
Then, I became the acting supervisor.
Cao Kun's expression turned strange again: "You can solve cases?"
Bart: "I certainly can't solve this case, but I have you, Master."
With your abilities, Master, you can definitely solve this case easily.
As soon as I got back, I tried calling you frantically, but I couldn't get through. I was so worried.
Thankfully, it's connected now.
"If my boss lets me close this case, I can drop the 'deputy' designation and become a real regional manager."
Cao Kun: "Your idea is quite good."
Bart chuckled and said, "That's because I have you, Master, backing me up."
Cao Kun: "So, you're planning to hand me over in exchange for your career advancement?"
Bart was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately.
But just seconds later, his heart began to pound: "Master... it's... it's you..."
Cao Kun: What do you think?
Bart stammered, "I...I...don't know. I'm...I'm sorry, Master..."
Bart's voice was trembling with tears: "Master, have I caused you trouble?"
Cao Kun: "Thank you for thinking of me."
Bart's voice trembled with fear: "Master...Master, please don't talk like that, I'm...scared."
Cao Kun: "So what are you planning to do now?"
Bart said with a long face, "I'm going to confess to my superiors that I can't solve this case, I'm quitting this acting supervisor position, and I'll look for other opportunities."
Cao Kun: "Who said you can't solve cases?"
Bart asked, puzzled, "But... Master, I certainly can't betray you."
Cao Kun: "When did your FBI become so rigid in its investigations? If you can't catch the real killer, can't you catch the fake killer?"
Bart said helplessly, "Master, we will certainly do the same for other cases."
But ordinary people simply can't pull off a case involving more than 1,000 people.
Even if we find a fake killer, there are too many flaws, and we can't hide it at all.
But we can't find, and we dare not seek out, people like you with extraordinary abilities.
Cao Kun cursed, "Idiot, if a human can't do it, then he's not human, so that's fine."
Bart was taken aback.
Is this even possible?
You really can't blame him for being stupid.
He wasn't an exorcist, he had never dealt with those things, and his thinking was limited to the human realm. He never even considered that there were things that weren't human.
But upon closer examination, attributing such a large-scale case involving thousands of people to individuals seems rather unrealistic.
It seems more logical to use something that isn't human as the murderer.
Bart exclaimed excitedly, "Master, this is a great idea! It'll definitely get us the job done. But..."
He added worriedly, "Master, this isn't a human thing. Where are we going to find it? We can't handle it either."
Cao Kun: "You just need to cooperate with me secretly."
"So, collect the files on those bizarre cases and give them to me."
"I'll go right away." Bart was suddenly full of energy.
After hanging up with Bart, Cao Kun received calls from Sofia, Angelina, Winona, Rachel, Jessica, and others.
They both expressed some fear on the phone.
This horrific case, which resulted in the deaths of thousands, took place in Los Angeles.
Being in Los Angeles themselves, they were naturally afraid.
At the same time, it can also be extended from them to the entire Los Angeles community.
Right now, the people in this city are probably all living in fear.
No wonder Bart's competitors backed down and dared not take the case.
If the case can't be solved, not only will the newly promoted supervisor be removed from his position and he be branded as incompetent, but it will also seriously affect his future career.
It's better to wait for a more secure opportunity.
If it were Bart himself, he certainly wouldn't have dared to accept the position of acting manager.
He only dared to take this risk because he had latched onto Cao Kun's coattails.
Bart became the regional acting manager, and his power was far greater than before.
That evening, Bart handed a hard drive to Cao Kun.
Inside are all the mysterious cases in the FbI archives.
Cao Kun put it away and asked Bart, "How long would be the best time to solve this case?"
Bart thought for a moment: "It can't be too fast, otherwise it will seem like I know about it."
But it can't be too slow either, or people's patience will wear thin.
Those people will gradually stop obeying my commands.
I think about a month is best.
This is a perfect opportunity for me to put on a more compelling performance and create a few memorable moments.
Cao Kun almost kicked this guy to death, yet he still managed to create a highlight moment for himself.
They're really good at causing trouble.
However, it must be admitted that this guy is quite suited to navigating the officialdom.
Not only can they see the situation clearly, but they also know how to leverage it.
Cao Kun: "Wait for my notification. I will tell you how to subdue that ghost then."
Upon hearing the word "ghost," Bart shuddered: "Master, isn't this too dangerous? Will people die?"
Cao Kun: "Wouldn't it make things more real if a few people died? Wouldn't you FBI be better at creating heroic spirit?"
At that time, the public will definitely be even more supportive of you.
Bart's eyes lit up: "Yes, it would be best if I could get injured during the arrest, be reported by the media, and become a hero."
That way, I can sit in this position more securely.
Moreover, with such qualifications, I can go further in the future.
Cao Kun slapped him on the head: "You should focus on what's in front of you first. You're thinking way ahead."
"Yes, Master." Bart lowered his head and looked down, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
After returning home, Cao Kun connected the hard drive to his computer and looked at the files on the bizarre cases inside.
They turned out to be some truly unbelievable cases.
There are two types of these cases.
One type is cases that haven't been solved yet.
One type is cases that have been solved, but which, from an internal perspective, still have unresolved issues.
In other words, the murderer they caught may not necessarily be the murderer.
They were well aware of this, but no one went out and talked about it; they just made a note of it in secret.
These kinds of cases usually occur because of some reason that creates too much pressure, and the case must be solved as soon as possible.
Then, after some effort, they caught the "murderer".
Cao Kun picked out some of them and looked at them, and felt that some of the cases might actually be related to ghosts and monsters.
However, most of these cases are old cases, located in other places, and it would be both time-consuming and labor-intensive to investigate them.
Cao Kun's arrival was only put on hold for now; there were no immediate plans to take action.
As for the murderer Bart wants, it's quite simple.
