Jiang Yue was lying on the bed, thinking about the case in Yunshan Times Square.
This complicated and confusing situation involves so many forces and such high-level figures.
The cause of everything was Mr. Yi's words?
Among the people in Yunshan Times Square, does anyone have special blood?
Who could it be?
elder sister? Sister-in-law?
Or someone else?
Jiang Yue has no way of knowing now.
Things like bloodline are inherently mysterious. Jiang Yue lived to be eighteen years old. If the strange world hadn't begun, he wouldn't have even known that the blood of his old Jiang family was extraordinary.
It is probably even less likely for other ordinary people to know this kind of thing.
So, how did Mr. Yi know? What secret method does he have for detecting blood? Or is there special equipment?
It's a pity that Jiang Yue felt that Mr. Yi was very unpleasant to look at at that time, and it reminded him of people like Zhao Shouyin and Master Liu inexplicably.
These people are basically old yin coins. As long as they are given a chance, they will definitely make trouble.
Jiang Yue was alone at the time and didn't want to cause trouble.
It happened that Mr. Yi was sneaky and looked like he was going to do some tricks at any time, so Jiang Yue simply gave him a try.
This shuttle basically killed the only person in the opponent's team who had a clue.
The remaining militants are actually errand boys with well-developed limbs and simple minds. I'm afraid I won't be able to pry out much useful information from them.
However, Jiang Yue believed in the idea of special bloodline.
With the brains of those militants, it is obviously difficult to fabricate such lies. Besides, given the situation at that time, the other party did not seem to have any motive to lie.
So what kind of force is behind the other party? What is their motive for searching for special bloodlines?
Anyway, Jiang Yue absolutely does not believe that he is a corporal of courtesy and talent, and he is looking for talents.
If you really want to tap talents, there are too many reasonable channels.
Kidnapping and kidnapping is definitely a shameful act.
…
Star City Paranormal Operations Bureau, but it was a sleepless night.
All members of the three operations departments have returned to study, which is equivalent to being completely banned.
Operations Division One and Two are actively avoiding the case, and Operations Division Four is currently not active in Star City.
Only five are still active on the front line.
As for Chief Yan, the first deputy director, he sits at the Star City headquarters and coordinates the overall situation.
Investigation materials about the three offices were continuously sent to Chief Yan.
A lot of evidence shows that the three offices have little to do with the death of Director Gao. The four people who entered the mall at that time were obviously not replicators.
This is completely different from what Master Liu complained about.
Since the four people in the three places are not replicators, Master Liu's accusation is impossible to make.
It is naturally difficult to continue the investigation of Luo Teng.
After all, any department must pay attention to procedures and legal principles when handling affairs. As a leader, you cannot cover the sky with one hand and insist on describing white things as black.
"Hmph! Even if the death of Director Gao has nothing to do with them, the problems of the rough work style and arrogant attitude of the third branch will still exist. We must strengthen ideological study. Luo Teng has a lot of ideological and understanding problems. Question, it is necessary to send him to the capital for further study."
It can be seen that Chief Yan obviously dislikes Luo Teng very much, and has even reached the point of being intolerable.
Everyone hopes to have someone who can get things done, but no one wants to have a thorn in their side. Moreover, this thorn is not one of his people and is always working against him.
Chief Yan was just thinking about how to remove Luo Teng's stumbling block when the phone on the table rang.
Looking at the time, why is the phone ringing at this point in the night?
Looking at the number again, Officer Yan shook his arm. The cigarette in his hand broke off due to excessive burning and fell on his thigh.
It was so hot that Commander Yan slapped his thigh repeatedly.
But he didn't dare not answer the call.
"Hello? Bureau Zhou? You're actually here in person at this late hour?"
On the other end of the phone was the head of the Operations Bureau, Director Yi Hao: "Old Yan, come to my office."
The extremely formulaic and cold words made Chief Yan murmur in his heart.
He has always gotten along well with Director Zhou Da, the top leader of the Star City Operations Bureau, and they have maintained a tacit understanding and politeness in the officialdom.
And he, Yan, is famous for his strength in the bureau. As the top leader, Zhou bureau has never even beaten him, either overtly or secretly.
This gave Yan the illusion that he might have figured out Zhou Ju's thoughts.
I feel that Zhou Ju may have reached a certain age and lost his enterprising spirit, so he turned a blind eye to his deputy.
So gradually, Yan felt that his wings were getting stronger and his actions were becoming more and more unscrupulous.
It wasn't until this call came that Commander Yan seemed to remember that he had an immediate superior, and that it was really not him, Yan, who had the final say in the Star City Operations Bureau.
Especially Director Zhou's obviously distant tone made Chief Yan slightly uneasy.
"It's so late at night, what's the point of Director Zhou asking me to go? Is it to understand the case?"
In any case, Chief Yan stood in front of the generals, straightened his appearance, calmed down for a moment, and then reached out to knock on the door.
"Come in." A voice came from inside the house.
Chief Yan pushed the door gently.
Director Zhou is the only one in the office, and the secretary has been dismissed.
As if he didn't notice Chief Yan coming in, Director Zhou was immersed in a document, looking serious and focused.
Chief Yan was a little embarrassed and respectfully called out: "Zhou Bureau."
"Oh!" Director Zhou raised his head and glanced, "Sit down."
When Chief Yan finally sat down on the sofa next to him, he found that Director Zhou was attracted by the documents again. He, Yan, was like air.
Chief Yan felt a little unhappy.
Although Mr. Yan is your deputy, half a level below you, he is still a dignified deputy director. At this level, the relationship between them is not just a simple superior-subordinate relationship, they are colleagues who can basically look at each other.
Are you, Mr. Zhou, trying to intimidate me?
Helpless, the official level is the next level, no matter how unhappy I feel, I can't express it.
This is just like Yan, the leader, using the official rank to suppress Luo Teng, the director of the third action division.
After a long time, Director Zhou seemed to have finished reading the documents and took off his glasses.
He looked at the deputy with a strange look.
"Zhou Bureau." Sensing the other party's eyes, Chief Yan felt unhappy, but he still said hello.
"Old Yan, there are many action bureaus across the country, and there should not be many bureau chiefs like me who delegate power to their deputies. At my age, I can actually wait until Kuan retires. It stands to reason that you, Old Yan, are young and strong, and it will be a matter of time before he takes over. At this time, shouldn't you be more cautious and cherish your wings?"
Chief Yan was startled.
Officialdom has always been reserved. Like Zhou Ju's words just now, in official circles, the tone is actually very serious.
Is this to remind him, to warn him, or even to beat him?
"Director Zhou, has someone made a false complaint? You know me, Lao Yan, I have always been conscientious and abide by my duties. The situation is difficult now, and sometimes the methods of doing things may be a little radical, but I am also public-spirited. The bureau You should be able to see it from above and below. My position is really sensitive, so many people stare at me, and over time, I can’t help but gossip..."
"well!"
Zhou Ju shook his head slightly and sighed.
"I don't know how much gossip I've heard over the years. I've always heard it in one ear and out the other. I trust you, Lao Yan, and you won't care about a few gossips."
"Thank you, Bureau Zhou, for your trust." Chief Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, you still betrayed my trust after all!" Zhou Ju's tone changed again.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
"Old Yan, let me ask you, what's going on with Master Liu? What's going on with the 300,000 appearance fee per minute? What's going on with the 30 million reward for killing ghosts?"
Director Zhou didn't use charades and asked straight to the point.
"Director Zhou, regarding Master Liu and the matter regarding Yunshan Times Square, I have asked the secretary to formulate written materials and prepare to report to you tomorrow."
At that moment, Chief Yan explained their rhetoric in advance.
Zhou Ju was noncommittal and stared at Chief Yan, as if he wanted to penetrate his mind with his eyes.
"Ancient magic circle?" Director Zhou knocked on the table, "What evidence do you have to prove this? Is there a sufficient argument? Have you considered the safety of hundreds of missing people?"
"There must be evidence in the materials. Strange times are coming, and strange people like Master Liu are definitely more authoritative in this regard. As for the safety of the masses, we have never given up."
"Authority? How come I heard that the Bureau clearly had a second theory, but you acted arbitrarily and only recognized the ancient magic circle's theory and forcibly suppressed the other theory?"
This is a very obvious picture.
Sure enough, someone still complained.
Everyone in Operations Division 3 has been assigned to study, yet they are still so dishonest? Is it Deputy Director Han from the Third Division?
From Chief Yan's point of view, there is no reason for this.
Deputy Director Han of Operations Division 3, as Luo Teng's deputy, shouldn't he secretly rejoice when his official job happened, waiting to be replaced? Will they still force themselves to stand up for their official position?
How can there be such a harmonious relationship between the principal and his deputy in the world?
"What Director Zhou is talking about must be Luo Teng from Operation Three, right? He said that the case in Yunshan Times Square was man-made. Through various peripheral monitoring and analysis, we have completely ruled out this possibility. If it was man-made, those Where did the person go? It’s impossible for him to disappear for no reason, right? He can’t just evaporate on the spot, right?”
"The three agencies requested to search the entire mall, but you refused at that time, right?"
"At that time, Luo Teng of the Third Bureau was at a sensitive stage. Under that situation, I was worried that people from the Third Bureau would damage the scene if they entered, so I rejected the proposal of the Third Bureau. I don't think there was any procedural problem."
Chief Yan is not a vegetarian either.
Every step he takes is actually calculated and he can find the corresponding explanation.
"Later, people from the Fifth Division conducted a thorough search in the mall and found no signs of man-made matters, nor any clues related to the missing persons. Therefore, the theory of man-made things is not valid."
"So, do you think these people disappeared because they were taken away by the ancient magic circle?"
"This is Master Liu's inference. At present, it is the most reliable statement."
Director Zhou's expression was indifferent, and he no longer dwelled on this topic, but said: "Then what's the 30 million reward for killing ghosts?"
"The ancient magic circle disappeared, but the yin energy in the mall was too strong, and before it had time to dissipate, it was discovered by the surrounding ghosts and entered the mall to cause trouble. That is another case. At present, Master Liu has destroyed the ghosts, and A great ritual was performed. He can guarantee that Yunshan Times Square will never be haunted again, otherwise he promised not to take any money from it."
"Then have you ever considered that this is a panic deliberately created by Master Liu?"
Chief Yan was startled and looked at Zhou Ju with some surprise.
"Isn't this possible?"
"In our line of work, before saying it's impossible, there must be sufficient evidence to overturn it. Otherwise, why is it impossible? Just because he is the person you invited?"
Chief Yan said hurriedly: "This is my first time meeting Master Liu. He was invited by Director Gao."
"Director Gao is now dead without any evidence."
Chief Yan was a little panicked.
He noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Director Zhou has never been so sharp.
Just some appearance fees and 30 million for killing ghosts?
Although this amount of money is a large amount, in the Action Bureau, expenditures that are more exaggerated than this are not unprecedented. Director Zhou couldn't be so serious about this little money.
Could it be that he has mastered something?
"Jue Zhou, what do you mean, Master Liu, deliberately killed our team members, created panic, threatened and intimidated us, so that we would be willing to pay to kill ghosts?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Bureau asked.
"It's impossible! At the scene, people from several places were present. Master Liu was with us, and his assistant was also with us. He couldn't have had time to commit the crime."
At this moment, the phone in front of Zhou Bureau's desk rang. After the call was connected, Director Zhou only listened but did not say anything. He responded twice and hung up.
"Lao Yan, your statements may make sense. However, now that the inspectors from the Central South Region have arrived at the bureau, they believe that your behavior needs to be further investigated. So, you and the inspectors from the Central South Region An explanation from the personnel may be more appropriate.”
Inspection team?
Any power needs checks, and the Bureau of Paranormal Operations is no exception.
The inspection department specifically for the Action Bureau can conduct necessary investigations on any personnel of the Action Bureau.
When Lao Yan heard these three words, he immediately panicked.
How could the inspection team be alerted without even noticing it?
The door to the director's office was pushed open, and the supervisors filed in.
After showing his ID, he said to Chief Yan: "We need Chief Yan to cooperate with the investigation regarding Yunshan Times Square. Please come with us."
Chief Yan's eyes were filled with fire. He finally understood that Zhou Bureau's nonsense with him for so long just now was just a delaying tactic.
This was deliberately dragging him down so that he would have no psychological preparation and wait for the inspection team to pick him up.
Zhou Yihao, you old Yin coin!
Chief Yan was filled with resentment and roared at the inspection team: "Don't listen to the wind or rain. Someone is accusing me of trying to frame me!"
"Sir, whether you were framed or not, we will naturally come to a conclusion after the investigation. Our inspection team is also busy and we don't have anything solid. Who is willing to go so far in the middle of the night?"
"Who? Who is accusing me of lying? Is it Luo Teng? He doesn't even have a clean butt. The director of our Operations Branch 5 is probably the one who did the harm."
"Sir, please maintain some dignity. The murderer has already concluded the deaths of Director Gao and those team members. You don't have to worry about this."
"The murderer has been determined? Who is it?" Chief Yan stared, but he still felt a bit lucky in his heart.
"It doesn't hurt to tell you that it's Master Liu who you paid a high price for [Yuyou Reading]."
"By the way, I want to tell you that the hundreds of missing people have been found."
Commander Yan's head buzzed, his feet went weak, and he could no longer stand firm.
There is only one thought in my mind, the secret is revealed, the secret is revealed...
…
In the base of the third branch, Lao Han received the news immediately that Chief Yan was taken away by the inspection team.
"It's a pity that Master Liu escaped!"
Master Liu pretended to perform a ritual, as if it were real.
Then, the mall was no longer haunted.
He legitimately took all the rewards and then disappeared.
Lao Han asked technology to track his account, but it had already been transferred through various means. His true identity can no longer be traced.
Old Han played the recording Jiang Yue gave him again.
The recording is not long, just a few conversations.
"Have these bastards entered the mall?" This was Master Liu's roar.
"Master, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment. You have raised several ghost slaves, why should you be reserved and release them all at once! The shopping mall is so big, I don't believe where can a few of them hide? According to me, you You shouldn't rush to let the ghost slaves attack the two subordinates at the top. Although this can create panic and force them to pay extra rewards. But in this way, the rhythm is disrupted. It feels like the situation is obviously out of control now..." This It was the voice of the female assistant.
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Master Liu asked the female assistant.
"We still have to find those people, and we must not let them get out alive! As long as these people are dead, what happens inside, don't we have the final say? By then the problem will be solved, and there will be one less person to share the money. It seems that Not a loss?" This was Master Liu's voice again.
The recording stopped abruptly here.
But all the key information happens to be included.
Technicians have also analyzed that this recording should be only part of the recording, with traces of manual editing.
However, this is enough to reveal the truth.
As for the cut part of the recording, Lao Han obviously will not pursue it anymore.
Not only did Lao Han not pursue the case, he also had to keep it a secret for Jiang Yue.
…
Early the next morning, Jiang Yue woke up early.
Countless messages popped up on the phone that was silenced.
After reading it, Jiang Yue finally let out a bad breath. Chief Yan, an official, is finally unlucky. The truth has basically been found out.
Just after reading the message, Lao Han called.
"Xiao Jiang, your family is staying at Rufeng Hotel. I'm afraid you can't go to school this morning. You have to pick up your family."
"Old Han, what do you mean? Isn't this another trap?"
Old Han smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, the military is looking for the mysterious master who rescued hundreds of people, but I didn't say that it was you."
"Come on, I don't believe it. If you didn't disclose my situation, would the military be dispatched?"
"Haha, Xiao Jiang, as long as there is no solid evidence on some things, it is one thing to suspect, and another thing to see whether it is true. As long as you deny it, they have no solid evidence and can't pester you, right? "
In this matter, Lao Han is actually somewhat selfish.
Of course, to put it nicely, this can be said to be taking advantage of the situation; to put it worse, it is to use Jiang Yue as a bargaining chip to increase the weight of their Han family.
Of course, no matter which way you say it, establishing a good relationship with Jiang Yue is always the top priority.
