I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 1242: Chapter 426: Reopening the Old Case, Intelligence Network (5k)_2

Extreme people are unlikely to be placed in Guanzhong County as Minister, such people can’t manage the relationship between the numerous ghosts and humans in Guanzhong County.

“Don’t look at me like that, everyone has some edges, it’s just that mine were smoothed out early.”

Even though I find Cai Qidong quite annoying, I do admire the things he’s done.

He’s dead, if this case could be reopened, I’d certainly hope for it, just to help Cai Heizi resolve his regrets.”

Wen Yan heard this and nodded in respect.

Right then, the water basin lamb was served, Wen Yan took a sip of the soup, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized that the Guanzhong County Minister fears the situation isn’t big enough to be buried in Guanzhong County, with the case landing on his desk.

At that time, he’d be put in a difficult spot. If he wanted to dig deeper, it’s buried in Guanzhong County, definitely making it impossible to investigate. If he doesn’t dig, it’s one thing to have regrets, but another thing to become the scapegoat.

Now that the pleasantries are said and the situation is pushed outwards, if things get bigger, it would be the result that most aligns with the Guanzhong County Minister’s desires.

Wen Yan was speechless, he didn’t say much, indeed, these veterans are all no pushovers.

This matter can’t be suppressed.

The General Director handed over the information to him, and he understood the General Director’s intention.

If there’s no desire to uncover the matter, he wouldn’t be seeing the information.

After finishing his meal, Wen Yan made a call to the General Director.

“General Director, I accidentally found some information.”

Wen Yan didn’t mention the matter of Fan Zeyun, he just truthfully reported the findings, and also informed about the characteristics of the location where the lantern was found.

Recent events are all interconnected; anything potentially related to the local Ghost Wealth God is of high priority.

Wen Yan was attacked at the Nether Path, which was also a priority event, but it wasn’t because the attacked was Wen Yan, but because someone was attacking people at the Nether Path, regardless of how they did it, it changes the nature of the case.

With this case drawn in, the old Ghost Market case is heightened again.

Looking at the current acceleration in Spiritual Qi Resurgence progress, no one can stop it.

Blocking the reopening of the Ghost Market case is equivalent to blocking the investigation of the assault case, blocking the investigation of the local Ghost Wealth God, among other connected matters.

Wen Yan completed his routine report, next it was time for the Scorching Sun Department to exert their power.

At the Scorching Sun Headquarters, the General Director hung up the phone, quietly waiting, and after a few minutes, the call from the Guanzhong County Minister came through.

This wasn’t an official report, just an informal exchange.

The General Director was also a witness back then.

After the Guanzhong County Minister spoke for about ten minutes and hung up, an official document was sent from there, along with a preliminary statement from Fan Zeyun.

The General Director sat in his chair, quietly looking at the document, took a deep breath.

It’s been many years, the Scorching Sun Department was nearly suppressed with this as an excuse, even a waste of five years could happen.

But missing the five-year development period back then, now the Scorching Sun Department would completely lag behind the times.

Rationally he knew they really couldn’t do anything back then, but this matter had always been a thorn in his heart.

Regrets from one’s youthful vigor, some may fade into a vague illusion over time, but some will be remembered more vividly.

The General Director looked at the information sent from Guanzhong County and picked up the phone on the table.

“Come to my office.”

The Chief Secretary came in quickly, the General Director started delegating tasks.

He didn’t rush to reopen the case, since Fan Zeyun was already in Guanzhong County’s Scorching Sun Department, after so long, a day or two wouldn’t make much difference, a compelling reason is needed.

Twenty minutes later, the Northeast Sunburst Sect received the task.

With the information Wen Yan provided, it was easy to pinpoint the location, starting from this point and radiating outwards, names began to appear in the documents.

With access, manpower, priority, and resources, many things become much easier.

Many cases are not neglected out of desire or procrastination, but due to lack of resources, it can only go to cases with high priority.

At this moment, representatives of the Shaman Sect still meeting in the Capital City received the call, the Scorching Sun Department acted, and the Northeast Sunburst Sect moved swiftly.

And the person leading the team was from the same sect, but without Clear Wind Smoke Soul, just Fox, Yellow, White, Willow, and Ash, so they couldn’t truly be unified.

Although coming from the same sect, they were in different branches, thus understanding things better than outsiders.

In less than an hour, a large team appeared outside the Ma Family Ancestral Hall.

A muscular man, accompanied by a lean, bearded old man, entered the Ma Family Ancestral Hall, the lean old man stopped just as they were about to enter the main hall.

“Stop there, don’t go inside.”

He saw the lantern hanging from the main beam of the main hall ceiling, the hair on his body stood on end.

“Hey, I mentioned before, our Ancestor forbids Clear Wind Smoke Soul because they must have suffered big losses or stepped into big traps.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be expressly forbidden, violators removed from the genealogy, wiped from the hall records, locked down, and even the descendants are absolutely not allowed to return.

Those carrying Clear Wind Smoke Soul, how could they possibly be honest.
