"Ah?" When Zhou Yan heard this, he was not happy: "Why do you want to give me a whole difficult exam? I am so good, shouldn't I take the back door or something?"

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xi frowned and looked at Zhou Yan: "We are detectives, how can we talk about going through the back door? Moreover, you have been so popular recently. It has been many years, and no one with the level of Doberman can attract attention.

The attention of the Detective Association. Therefore, your promotion exam must be a little more difficult, otherwise it will be difficult to convince other detective agencies!"

"Emmm——" Zhou Yan groaned: "So, it is because I am too talented that I have to increase the difficulty of the exam?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"Hey, it's really difficult to handle. I actually wanted to keep a low profile, but I didn't pay attention and my strength was exposed."

Lin Xi lowered his head: "That's really hard for you."

"So, when will my exam take place?" Zhou Yan asked.

"have no idea."

"Ah?" Zhou Yan was stunned again: "Didn't you just say that the exam time has been set? Why don't you know this?"

"Well, it's quite complicated to say." Lin Xi explained: "Didn't I just say that your exam needs to be paid attention to, so the Detective Association is going to launch a new exam mode for you."

"Huh? I have such a big card?"

"Yes, it sounds like the cards are really big." Lin Xi said: "But this is also because you are the only one taking part in this exam! In other words, you are the guinea pig for this 'new exam model'. If it works

If it goes well, this kind of examination will be implemented in the future. If the effect is not good, then you will be the only victim."

"Um...why do I suddenly feel that my performance has dropped a lot~ Also, why am I the only one taking this exam? Are there no other Doberman-level people taking the exam?"

"No, the junior detective exams in Asia 12 City are usually held in the spring. Only you, you were notified of promotion just after taking the detective qualifications..."

"Okay~" Zhou Yan shrugged helplessly: "Then what is this new examination model?"

"I asked for information from insiders, and they said it is called the [Practice Examination Model]. There are no test papers or interviews, and the candidates are directly involved in real cases."

"What does that mean?"

"It means... the Detective Association will assign you an examiner. When a case of the appropriate level occurs, you will handle the case with your examiner. Whether you are qualified for promotion depends on your experience.

The performance in front of the examiner."

"This..." Zhou Yan said in a long voice: "It feels much more difficult than answering the test paper."

Indeed, this exam pattern sounds simple, but in fact, it is very complicated.

Because when a case occurs, you simply don’t know to what extent the case will develop, which type it will focus on, and whether it is an area that you are good at.

In addition, all the examination process is under the eyes of the examiner. It is hard to say whether your advantages can be shown, but your shortcomings will definitely be magnified infinitely.

In addition, if you and the examiner don't get along a bit...tsk tsk, then it is estimated that after the whole case, it is possible for you to go home with zero score.

Zhou Yan grimaced: "But... I'm just a Dupin-level detective. Isn't it a bit rash to directly let me get in touch with real cases... Oh, by the way,

What level of cases will be used for the exam?”

Lin Xi sighed slightly: "If nothing else happens, at least it will be at the level of Chuzenji Temple?"

"What!" Zhou Yan was shocked: "Zhongzenji Temple? Aren't those all murder cases? It's a whole two levels higher!"

"Yes, that's why I said, they will make it difficult for you to find a thief~" Lin Xi spread his hands: "There is no way, who told you to solve a headless murder case in the morning, after discussion by the Detective Association

, they think you already have this qualification."

"This...I'm so fucking grateful to these people!" Zhou Yan said politely.

"It's useless to complain. In short, you must work hard to score 12 points in this exam and try to pass it in one try. In this way... you can make other detective agencies shut up and at the same time, everything goes smoothly.

He has become the focus among new detectives."

Zhou Yan frowned: "Hey, why do I feel like you want to use my popularity to increase the reputation of the detective agency?"

"Is there any?" Lin Xi looked like she didn't understand: "How is that possible? Social animals are also human beings. I never take advantage of my employees."

"..."

"Anyway, if the detective agency takes over any cases in the past few days, I can just handle it myself. You can stay here full-time and read the files. Try to read all the murder cases in the past few years between exams, and try not to

He did something ridiculous during the exam."

"Uh... okay." Zhou Yan could only nod in agreement.

In this way, Zhou Yan spent the next few days immersed in the boring "case study", but he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. One afternoon two days later, Zhou Yan had to pack up and leave work.

"Ling~Ling~Ling~"

A series of phone rings rang.

Zhou Yan answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello, Xiyan Detective Agency, Zhou Yan, right?" asked the other end of the phone.

"Yes, who are you?"

"Asia 12 City District, Detective Association Branch, now officially informs you that your promotion exam has begun. Please go to the indicated location immediately. The map has been sent to your mobile phone.

Good luck."

The person on the other end of the phone spoke very eloquently, and hung up the phone immediately after speaking, without even leaving time for Zhou Yan to ask questions.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a few seconds, and then he shouted in surprise: "What, my exam starts now?"

Before he finished speaking, his phone buzzed and a map was sent to him.

Zhou Yan opened it and found that it was not too far from the detective agency.

Well, now that the exam has started, there's no point in complaining.

"Boss, I'm going to take the exam!" Zhou Yan shouted towards the back room, then opened the door and ran out.

A few seconds later, Lin Xi walked out of the back room and looked at the empty detective agency... "Come on," she murmured.

... Without further ado, Zhou Yan took a taxi to the exam location ten minutes later.

Several police cars have been parked here, some police officers are pulling up the cordon, and several passers-by are stretching their necks, trying to get a look at the scene of the crime.

Zhou Yan ran to the cordon.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yan." He said his name without saying much.

"Oh? Are you Zhou Yan?" A police officer looked him up and down and politely raised the cordon: "Go in, your examiner is waiting for you."

"Thanks~" Zhou Yan said and got in.

The sirens around him were a little noisy, and more and more passers-by came closer. Zhou Yan seemed to feel countless pairs of eyes falling on him unscrupulously outside the cordon.

"Is this what it feels like at a crime scene? It's completely different from the time in District 19." Zhou Yan muttered, and even felt a little bit nervous.

Following the police's guidance, Zhou Yan walked into an alley.

There are already a lot of people standing here, most of them from the forensics department, taking pictures.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yan, I'm here to take the promotion exam."

Following these words, the crowd in front of him seemed to be suddenly silent for a second, and then the crowd dispersed.

Zhou Yan saw a person standing in the middle of the crowd...

Eyes facing each other~
