You Be My Partner!

In that instant, a short message appeared in Fang Li's mind.

"The Magus's blood will be spilled on this land."

"———— Armed Detective Killer".

That text message is still on Fang Li's phone.

At that moment, the vibration of his phone brought Fang Li back to the moment.

Therefore, Fang Li finally found out.

Now I know where that feeling of unease came from.

Fang Li's eyes narrowed as he looked at Aria, who was holding a plastic bomb high in front of him.

"Bang----!"

Gunshots rang out.

A flash of light suddenly appeared in front of Fang Li, and a bullet pierced the air and shot out.

That was a shot that even Aria, an S-Rank Armed Detective, couldn't react to at all.

By the time the flash of gunfire entered Aria's eyes, the bullet that had been hurtling through the air had already landed heavily on the plastic bomb that Aria was holding high.

"Clang—!"

With a clang like metal striking metal, a burst of sparks suddenly appeared.

Immediately, the plastic bomb that Aria had raised high was sent flying.

"Huh?" Aria didn't even realize what was happening.

At that moment, Fang Li rushed forward and arrived at Aria's side, pressing her down.

At that very moment, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred.

"Boom—!"

With a deafening explosion, a burst of flames suddenly erupted in mid-air behind the speeding bus, accompanied by a violent shockwave that instantly swept outwards.

Part of the asphalt road on the ground was covered by the flames.

The rainwater in the air evaporated directly.

A powerful Explosive Wind swept in, surging towards the bus like a tidal wave, nearly lifting the speeding bus off its feet. After swaying and tilting for a moment, it barely managed to regain its balance.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Inside the bus, the girls' screams began to echo.

On the roof of the car, Fang Li held Aria down tightly, managing to maintain his balance.

If Aria still can't figure out what's going on at this point, then she doesn't deserve to be S-Rank Armed Detective.

Without a doubt, the bomb exploded.

The bomb that Aria removed from under the car, which was just a second ago being held high above Aria's head.

What would have happened if Fang Li hadn't knocked the bomb away?

It's not hard to imagine at all.

Thinking of this, Aria couldn't help but raise her head and look at Fang Li beside her.

There, Fang Li remained kneeling on one knee, gazing silently at the explosion behind him.

Looking at Fang Li, Aria's eyes began to flicker, a thoughtful look flashing across them.

With the crisis resolved, the bus was finally able to gradually slow down until it came to a stop.

At this moment, the sound of police sirens finally rang out, signaling that reinforcements had arrived belatedly.

The rain is still falling.

For armed detectives, encountering incidents is like a regular student doing morning exercises; it's not unusual for them to happen at any time.

Therefore, even though such a large-scale bus hijacking incident occurred, because the targets were all armed police officers and not ordinary citizens, the Metropolitan Police Department and the Armed Detective Bureau handled the matter hastily, handing over the follow-up investigation to the Armed Detective High School.

As a result, requests for assistance from the Detective Department and the Forensic Division also appeared on the bulletin board of the Armed Detective High School.

Next, all that's needed is for someone to take on this commission and complete the investigation, and then this incident will be considered closed.

Of course, it's definitely not time for it to truly end yet.

Because the criminal has not yet been caught.

After that, Fang Li and Aria, like armed detectives who had completed their mission, returned to the Assault Department building in the same helicopter they had come from.

"Wait here for me, I have something to discuss with you."

After leaving those words, Aria went into the changing room and changed back into her uniform.

About ten minutes later, Aria changed out of her Counter-Strike- like C-grade gear and reappeared in front of Fang Li wearing the female uniform of the Armed Detective High School.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Aria said decisively. "Let's go."

"Okay." Fang Li nodded and followed Aria out of the Assault Department building, heading towards the school buildings for regular classes.

Walking down the street, Aria asked Fang Li about the sudden explosion of the bomb earlier.

Clearly, Aria didn't know why the bomb had suddenly exploded.

Fang Li then told Aria about the text message from the Armed Detective Killer.

"What?" Aria said in great surprise, "So, you've been threatened by the Armed Detective Killer?"

"I initially thought it was intimidation, but now it seems it really was a crime warning." Fang Li took out his phone, pulled up the previous text message, and handed it to Aria. "The perpetrator clearly wanted to target me, but they planted the bomb on a bus full of armed detectives, which obviously doesn't match the content of the crime warning."

"So, what I've always found odd is that the culprit targeted me, yet they attacked the bus. Why?" Fang Li explained his reasoning to Aria. "The answer is obvious. The culprit probably already knew I would be going to handle the bus hijacking, and the purpose of hijacking the bus was to lure me there."

"I understand." Aria looked at the text message signed by the Armed Detective Killer and said with a sudden realization, "The reason the criminal hijacked the bus was to lure you there, and after confirming that you were on the bus and defusing the bomb, he would detonate the bomb remotely."

"That should be it." Fang Li nodded and said, "With the power of that bomb, it can blow up not only buses, but even tanks. It doesn't matter who goes to defuse the bomb, as long as I get on the bus, I will be affected once the bomb detonates."

In this way, the self-proclaimed Armed Detective Killer could kill Fang Li effortlessly and complete his crime.

This is their plan.

"You noticed that, which is why you suddenly shot at me, right?" Aria continued walking forward, looking up at Fang Li, and said, "At that time, I was really scared. Even though I wasn't far from you, I had no idea when you drew your gun or when you fired. By the time I reacted, the bullet had already hit the bomb and deflected it. That's what they call Invisible Bullet, isn't it?"

"Thanks to this, I can finally be sure of your abilities."

As he said this, Aria suddenly stepped forward, turned around, and faced Fang Li.

Then, Aria spoke.

"Fang Li, you'll be my partner!"
