Qu Jianlei really didn't want to get into trouble, but he didn't want anything to happen to him.
So in the next two days, he carefully studied the relevant laws and regulations of Central City.
At noon on the third day, Qu Jianlei was cooking when the door of the small courtyard was banged loudly.
He opened the door and took a look and found two arrogant men, but they were not the ones who smashed the camera.
Not far behind the two men, there were three more people standing.
The one in the middle was very thick, holding his arms and chatting casually with the other two, glancing over from time to time.
The person who knocked on the door stretched out his hand and checked twice, "Protection fee!"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "The house has not been rented out yet."
He doesn't mind paying some protection money, even on Blue Star, he has encountered similar things before.
He regards this as "garbage removal freight". As long as the cost is reasonable and it can help with trivial chores, it is worthwhile.
The gangster opposite didn't seem to expect that he was so easy to talk to. He was slightly stunned for a moment before expressing rudely.
"You have to pay the rent even if you haven't received it. You will never be able to rent out the house... So we will never collect it?"
"Then don't accept it," Qu Jianlei replied casually, and then looked at the sturdy man, "Reform warrior?"
"What the hell..." The gangster raised his hand and pushed it towards Qu Jianlei's chest.
Qu Jianlei took a step back and looked at the other party coldly.
If the other party dares to step into this courtyard, he will take action. This is allowed by the laws of Central City.
As soon as he retreated, the three people chatting behind him stopped talking and all looked at him.
The gangster pushed away, and in anger, he stepped into the small courtyard, "Looking for death, right?"
Another gangster grabbed him, pointed to the camera in the yard, and shook his head.
Those who want to make a living in society must know all kinds of laws. Otherwise, how can they wander around the edges of the laws?
The gangster who was dragged down also calmed down, raised his hand and pointed at Qu Jianlei, "You're doing well... we'll see!"
Qu Jianlei looked at him expressionlessly, "Next time you knock on the door, don't knock so loudly!"
Just when he was about to close the door, the man holding his arms came over and said, "Wait a minute!"
Qu Jianlei frowned, "What's the matter?"
"My skills are not bad," the man nodded slightly, and then spoke with interest, "Would you like to follow me?"
Qu Jianlei blinked his eyes and spoke with a little doubt, "What do you do?"
"This area," the man said while holding his arms, "is mine to cover."
Qu Jianlei shook his head without hesitation, "Sorry, not interested."
Then he raised his hand and closed the courtyard door.
The gangster outside was furious and raised his hand to smash the courtyard door again, but was stopped by the strong man, "Okay, we'll talk about it later."
In the next three days, no one came to ask about rent, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
Early that morning, Qu Jianlei was about to cook when he was shocked to find, "There's a power outage?"
He really didn't expect that there would be a power outage in a place so close to a wealthy area.
Thinking of the coming summer, he decided to go out and buy a generator.
As soon as he drove away, a dozen gangsters came and trashed the front room into a mess.
Seven or eight other gangsters broke into the small courtyard and beat them up.
It only took Qu Jianlei an hour to buy the generator. When he drove back, he was dumbfounded.
A dozen gangsters stood staggering around, looking at him with playful smiles, and the sturdy man in the distance was also there.
Qu Jianlei thought about it, then got out of the car, came to the stout man, tilted his hair and asked, "Did you do it?"
The man hugged his arms, looked at him with a half-smile, and didn't answer at all.
However, a man next to him refused, "Who the hell are you talking to? Who can see that we did it?"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, showing his white teeth, "Do you know what you are doing?"
At this moment, an off-road vehicle drove in at the intersection, and the driver waved his hand towards Qu Jianlei, "Jian Lei..."
It was Ma Long who spoke. The next moment, he was stunned, "What the hell...is going on?"
"My home was smashed up," Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "Don't they all say that the security in Central City is very good?"
Ma Long braked, opened the door and got out. Several gangsters saw the silver ring on his hand at a glance.
"I'm going to...the Inspectorate?"
Someone turned around and ran away. Ma Long took out the laser pistol and shouted coldly, "Anyone who dares to run will be shot to death!"
As he said this, almost at the same time, he raised his hand and fired.
A gangster was shot in the back, a transparent hole the size of a teacup appeared from his back to his chest, and he fell to the ground.
This kind of injury basically does not require treatment.
When the other gangsters saw this, they immediately stopped. The sturdy man also lowered his arms and looked at Ma Long warily.
"Inspection Office's address is Ma Long," Ma Long took out his ID and showed it.
Then he clicked the laser gun twice and said expressionlessly, "You are suspected of an important case."
"Now are you going to take the initiative to follow me to the inspectorate, or should I break your legs and drag you away?"
The gangsters didn't dare to say anything, this guy really had a license to kill.
When the sturdy man saw this, he coughed lightly and said, "Master Ma Long, I am following..."
Ma Long's body flashed and he came to him. He raised his hand and gave him a big slap in the face.
The left side of the man's face swelled up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, but he did not dare to say anything.
Ma Long flexed his wrist and snorted disdainfully, "Did I really let you talk? What the hell!"
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "Jian Lei, what is going on?"
"I wanted to put an end to the problem," Qu Jianlei replied helplessly, "They just pushed their limits..."
After Ma Long heard what he said, he slapped the strong man again with his backhand.
Then he asked aloud, "Did you instigate it?"
The sturdy man was silent for a long time before sighing, "This is the rule of the road. I'm blind this time..."
"You're still lame," Ma Long pulled the trigger expressionlessly, directly making a big hole in the opponent's left knee.
The man suddenly couldn't hold on anymore and fell to his knees, rolling on the ground in pain.
But he was also considered a cruel person. He was in such pain that he didn't make a sound.
"What a good man," Ma Long smiled, raised his hand and fired another shot, hitting the opponent's right tibia.
"Ouch," the man suddenly screamed, heartbreakingly.
"Crawl to the inspectorate," Ma Long sneered, "or I'll kill you!"
Then he looked at the other gangsters and said, "Follow me. If you're not afraid of death, just run away."
"Forget it," he thought about it, shook his head, raised his right wrist, and called out.
"Xiao Qin, come here, get in the law enforcement vehicle, and put on twenty pairs of handcuffs."
Not long after, Xiao Qin drove over in a law enforcement vehicle.
It's a medium-sized van with a big logo spray-painted on it and a metal bar welded on the window glass.
Xiao Qin got out of the car, looked at the smashed front house, and then at Qu Jianlei, "Why are you annoying people?"
"Oh, you are a bunch of bastards who collect protection fees," Ma Long snorted disdainfully, "How dare you attack someone from the Inspectorate?"
People from the Inspectorate? A group of gangsters were so frightened when they heard this that some people collapsed on the ground.
The man who was rolling on the ground in pain was also shocked, and the wound didn't hurt so much for a while.
Xiao Qin looked at Qu Jianlei again in surprise.
"Aren't you quite powerful? You dare to kill even the Ultimate Warrior. How did you end up like this with these bastards?"
There was a soft "pop" sound, and then the stench filled the air, but someone was so frightened that he lost control of his bowels.
Qu Jianlei was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "I just want to live a low-key life. Isn't that right?"
Xiao Qin vaguely guessed what he was thinking, and then shook his head.
"Since you are from the Inspectorate, you can't bear this kind of anger. You don't have to care, but the Inspectorate cannot afford to lose this person!"
Qu Jianlei sighed after hearing this, "But I haven't certified the ultimate warrior yet."
Xiao Qin shook his head, "Our inspection office is the most disciplined, but sometimes... the rules are not that important."
Qu Jianlei curled his lips speechlessly, this was what gave him a headache.
He had read a lot of books on the law, but there were some underlying rules involving human relations that were not recorded in the books.
These relevant standards must be fully integrated into society in order to grasp the appropriateness, and he is not only a newcomer, but also a homebody.
As soon as everyone was handcuffed, another two law enforcement vehicles came roaring towards us. After the vehicles stopped, three people in red uniforms got out.
The security guards came over and took a look at the dying gangster, and then at the sturdy man with two legs missing.
Looking again at the smashed store, a security guard looked at Ma Long.
"This should be a public security incident. Your Excellency... the Inspectorate is not responsible, right?"
"It's none of your business," Ma Long rolled his eyes, "This is from my inspectorate."
Xiao Qin also snorted softly when he heard this, "We suspect that they are related to the death of several ultimate warriors!"
"Isn't this impossible?" The security guard who looked like the leader looked stunned, "How do they have such strength?"
He knew that these gangsters were all in this area.
Except for the one lying on the ground who is considered a reformed warrior and has the strength to threaten the Ultimate Warrior, the others are really not even worthy of carrying their shoes.
"Maybe it's impossible. Did you have the final say?" Ma Long's eyes widened.
Xiao Qin acted relatively safely and spoke in a deep voice.
"You have also seen that the homes of the ultimate warriors in our patrol office were smashed up... Do you dare to guarantee that they are innocent?"
Hearing this, the man was immediately speechless, and secretly scolded the gangsters for seeking death: Don't you know how to inquire before taking action?
In addition to being frightened, the gangsters also felt that they had been wronged: for more than 20 days, this man basically did not go out, and he rarely spoke.
Who would have thought that this was actually an ultimate warrior or someone affiliated with the Inspectorate?
The little boss tried to make a last-ditch effort, "Two adults, it seems that this is a public security incident at the moment."
Xiao Qin didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, but turned his head to look at Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei didn't say anything, but stared at a security guard with interest.
He had seen this person before. He was one of the three security guards who came to see him last time.

Chapter 152 False report (fourth update)
The security guard who was being stared at by Qu Jianlei had an earthy complexion and his legs were shaking like chaff.
Xiao Qin saw this and asked, "Jian Lei, this person is..."
"Last time he tried to rent my house forcibly," Qu Jianlei replied easily, "there were two security guards accompanying him."
"Big, big, big... sir," the man said tremblingly, "we finally left, didn't we?"
Qu Jianlei didn't talk to him at all, but looked at Ma Long again, "Later, Landers came and drove them away."
The little leader of the security guard slapped his forehead when he heard this, feeling extremely painful inside.
You guys are really willing to commit suicide. You've already met someone from the inspection office once, and you actually dare to come again?
"Come here," Ma Long said, expressionless, wagging his fingers at the security guard.
How dare that security officer walk over? He swooped behind the little boss and said, "Sir, this is a misunderstanding."
"How brave," Ma Long laughed angrily and reached for the laser pistol on his waist.
"Sir!" The little boss raised his hands in the air, fearing that the other party would misunderstand, "Can you allow us to check ourselves first?"
"What the hell..." Ma Long was about to curse, but Xiao Qin interrupted him with a slight cough.
"Jian Lei, please go into the house and check if there are any supplies missing."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei waved to everyone, "Let's come in and take a look."
There is a safe in his house, which is built into the wall. When the heavy door is opened, layers of partitions are revealed.
There are two pieces of gold, a stack of silver notes, several energy blocks, and three boxes inside.
When the three boxes were opened, everyone's eyes suddenly widened. There were actually three mutant crystals.
"You actually have an A-level one," Ma Long's eyes suddenly lit up, "Good guy, you are not ordinary rich."
"There's nothing wrong with the safe," Qu Jianlei closed the box, walked to the corner of the room, and lifted up a piece of floorboard.
Under the floor are two more pieces of gold, a stack of banknotes, and three boxes.
When the box was opened, there were three Class B crystals.
"I'll do it," Ma Long didn't know what to say, and the corners of Xiao Qin's mouth twitched slightly.
Next, there is the bottom of the smashed flower pot. This time there is no gold, but there are two boxes, both of which are B-grade crystals.
Then there was the bottom of the closet, which was empty.
The corner of the security guard's mouth twitched as he followed, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Next is the toilet tank, and the mezzanine inside is also empty.
Then, under the water tank on the roof, I lifted up the wooden board and found another piece of gold and two boxes.
Inside the box is another Grade A crystal and a Grade B crystal.
Finally, there is the lampshade in the small storage room...it is empty inside.
Qu Jianlei stood there with an expressionless face, and it took him a long time to say a word, "I lost eight B-grade ones, three A-grade ones, and three pieces of gold."
When everyone heard this, their expressions all changed.
The little boss's face couldn't be any more miserable. It's really up to you to say this...
Xiao Qin also opened her mouth in astonishment. She wanted Qu Jianlei to report that he had lost something so that he could take the guy away in good faith.
But this result really shocked her. This Jian Lei actually had such a huge net worth?
As for how much was lost, no one can say.
"It's none of my business," the security guard wailed, "I didn't come in at all."
The little boss thought about it and asked, "Sir, why are you hiding things everywhere?"
Of course, the sense of security is not good! Qu Jianlei looked at him expressionlessly, "Is it illegal?"
The little boss was at a loss for words. Don't say that the other party is an ultimate warrior. It's not illegal for ordinary people to do this, right?
"Okay, you come with me," Xiao Qin made a gesture, raised his hand, and a vine directly bound the guy.
When the two security guards saw this, they shut their mouths tightly and did not dare to say a word.
Ma Long looked at the little boss and said calmly, "No one can tamper with the things of my inspection office."
The little boss quickly raised his hands, "This has nothing to do with us. Even if he has a problem, it is his personal behavior."
"I don't care!" Ma Long said coldly, "Without full compensation, none of you can escape."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the little boss retreated step by step out of the courtyard, "I will report this matter to the superiors."
After exiting the courtyard, he turned around and ran away as fast as he could.
Another security guard followed closely behind, so how could he dare to stay?
Qu Jianlei looked at the various resources that were displayed, curled his lips, and said depressedly, "It's all exposed..."
Ma Long smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, others already know your identity, and no one dares to touch your things."
Xiao Qin asked curiously, "Did you really lose so many things?"
Qu Jianlei looked at the security guard who was tied up like a rice dumpling and hesitated to speak.
"Just say it," Ma Long said nonchalantly, "It'll be fine if he hears it."
"As long as we say how much was lost, that's how much was lost... Witnesses are nothing!"
These words were said with great arrogance, and Xiao Qin nodded simply, "That's right, no one has dared to be so arrogant with the Inspectorate for a long time."
This organization... is really good, and Qu Jianlei is a little moved.
But in the end, he still suppressed the commotion. The more rights he enjoyed, the greater the responsibilities he assumed.
He is not unwilling to take responsibility. The key point is... he is not free. "I falsely reported twice the amount."
"If we can recover it, the excess will be given to everyone. It will be regarded as hard work."
"How is this possible?" Xiao Qin immediately objected, "I'm just curious to see how much money you have."
"It's not impossible," Ma Long was a little moved, "Tie Hammer died three years ago, and now it's very difficult at home."
"His family is in trouble?" Xiao Qin asked in shock, "His pension... wasn't given?"
The Inspectorate has great power, but it is also highly dangerous. After all, their law enforcement targets are the ultimate warriors.
Even Bentley, who has just entered the C-level, dares to fight against the B-level Jamari. How can the others be worse?
Therefore, the pension from the Inspectorate is very high. When it is time to work hard, it is really hard.
However, Malone said that Hammer's pension was paid in full, but his family members suffered from serious illnesses one after another.
The huge amount of pension was almost exhausted, and now Iron Hammer's mother fell ill again.
Malone has provided some financial support, but it is impossible to provide financial support all the time.
Here in Central City, what he did was already considered very humane.
Xiao Qin pondered for a moment and said, "I have to talk to the boss about this matter."
"I have to tell him." Although Ma Long has a straight temper, his IQ is not low.
"Without a leader, it's not easy to get such a large sum of money from the security team."
When the security guard who was tied on the ground heard this, his face turned livid, and his eyes were full of despair.
Security guards have a lot of gray income, but not much large amounts. It is precisely because of this that Qu Jianlei is regarded as a fat sheep.
Thinking about the supplies reported missing by the other party, this person wanted to die.
What's even more annoying is that the other party actually admitted that they had falsely reported some quantities.
However, what made him despair the most was this. If anyone dared to say it, they were determined to get it!
How could I be so blind as to want to deal with this person?
A group of people were taken to the inspection office, and three more reform warriors from Dizifang cooperated and began to interrogate them one by one.
Qu Jianlei also came with him, and brought his boss a backpack. He had no choice but to carry it on his back as his wealth was all exposed.
He planned to stay in a hotel at night and would definitely stay at the inspection office during the day.
Others came forward for his matter, and there is still an investigation into the matter. If he goes directly to the hotel, what will happen?
But he didn't ask, he just stayed in a room with not many people and read a book casually.
This was the office of a reformed warrior. There were two people working on papers. They glanced at him secretly from time to time and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
They heard that there was a consultant in the room recently, but even though he was in name, he was actually the ultimate warrior.
After reading for a while, Jamali appeared and asked curiously, "Why don't you ask me?"
Qu Jianlei answered honestly, "It's my own son... I should pay attention to avoid it, right?"
"Avoid..." The inspector looked at him thoughtfully, then nodded slightly, "Okay, you continue reading."
He was not at peace in his heart. Central City did not like to talk about "avoidance", but in some places, there was such a saying.
Therefore, the origin of this simple fortress is definitely not simple, which can be regarded as confirming his guess.
Xiao Qin's domineering display just now was actually due to his instruction, and he wanted Jian Lei to be moved and actively integrate into the inspection office.
The results of this move were not particularly effective, and now the Inspector General is not in a hurry to recruit the other party.
Not long after, news came from Ma Long: these gangsters were really colluding with the security guards.
This is actually not surprising, and Qu Jianlei was not surprised. The same is true for most places on Blue Star.
He once heard a friend who was a house hunter mention something at the dinner table, to the effect that it was a gray area that was difficult to eradicate.
The existence of the underground world has its own logic and laws.
Once all the suspected persons are dealt with, it will be equivalent to a vacuum, and another group of people will emerge to fill the gap.
Cooking is worse than cooking, so it is normal for the two to be connected.
What Qu Jianlei values is, "Is it because of them that there was a power outage in my house?"
The gangsters were caught and knew that they had hit a big deal this time, so of course they tried their best to get away with it.
Some people said that the reason why we dealt with Jianba was because of the instructions of the security guards!
They said that Jian Lei had just obtained the status of Central City, and he was easy to bully because of his money, so we took action.
If they hadn't hinted, how would we have known this person was new?
Well, if this is not enough evidence... the security guard informed us yesterday that there will be a power outage in the area early this morning.
In the central city, dynamic social groups have a wide reach, but they really cannot affect the power supply group.
The group's background is very deep, and it can send out five or six ultimate warriors at will, but how many ultimate warriors are there in total in a mixed society?
Only the official security team can use certain pretexts to temporarily shut down power supply groups.
