NOVPUBChapter 759: 183. The Si Family’s Expert’s Jaw Drops (7000 words)_2
“That organization really did emerge suddenly about half a year ago. Although the exact time of its establishment is unknown, it roughly coincides with the time when Fang Ze was discovered.”
“Moreover, the place where this organization was founded is precisely the poor district where Fang Ze was born and raised.”
At this point, Gu Qing paused, then handed the document he was holding to the man in the suit.
The man in the suit took the document and continued to listen while reading, “Additionally, we visited and investigated many citizens of Qingshan City and can now confirm that the current head of the Devil Sect is a girl named Miaomiao.”
“That girl is well known by the commissioners at the Qingshan City Security Bureau; they had met her a few months ago following Bai Zhi’s orders to protect her and Fang Ze, who was still a suspect at the time.”
“Therefore, we went back and thoroughly reviewed the data left from the villa extermination case. According to the records, that girl and Fang Ze are childhood friends who always obediently followed Fang Ze’s lead.”
“Thus, we have reasons to suspect that this sect is related to Fang Ze.”
Having finished, Gu Qing looked towards Xun Yi, who was sitting beside him. Xun Yi adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and continued coldly, “Moreover, because this sect’s information is scarce and its growth too rapid, Gu Qing and I initially suspected that Qingshan City Security Bureau might be covering for them. Therefore, we also secretly launched an internal investigation of the Qingshan City Security Bureau.”
“However, we discovered that Qingshan City Security Bureau had actually been trying to control the development of the Devil Sect but couldn’t due to a shortage of personnel. In desperation, they also applied to the Emerald City Security Bureau to request additional forces to deal with the sect, but their application sank like a stone.”
At this, Xun Yi glanced at the man in the suit and said emphatically, “And at that time, the person in charge of the entire Security Bureau was Fang Ze.”
Having heard the report from both, the man in the suit, who had just finished reviewing the information, closed the document and pondered for a moment before speaking, “Then the rapidly growing Devil Sect branch in Miaohua City…”
Gu Qing said, “Is also managed by the same girl named Miaomiao.”
The man in the suit nodded slightly then said with a deep gaze, “When teacher sent me to Emerald City, he had said that he had conducted a thorough investigation and planning against the Si Family back in the day, and he knew about the descendants of the Si Family like the back of his hand, none of whom could be linked to Fang Ze. Thus, Fang Ze’s identity is indeed questionable.”
“Now, seeing his connections with such a sect, the credibility of his identity has further diminished.”
The man in the suit’s reason for saying this was grounded: Divinities from the Outer Realm often need a medium to descend into the Real World, and among them, faith is a common medium; thus, most sects are connected with divinities from the Outer Realm. This has led to the federal government openly banning all sects.”
Although in actual law enforcement, the government tends to turn a blind eye to some sects that are even older than its history, it still closely monitors and strikes against the smaller sects.”
So, hearing the man in the suit’s words, Gu Qing and Xun Yi silently nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two agreed with his view, the man in the suit leaned back in the sofa and thought for a while, then he asked, “How is the situation in the Security Bureau now?”
Gu Qing slowly said, “After Fang Ze left, Bai Zhi took over as the director, but her heart is still with Fang Ze. So, aside from promoting some of the old followers of Fang Ze as per his arrangements, she hasn’t handled any official duties.”
“Now the Security Bureau has reverted back to the state it was in before Fang Ze’s arrival. Although there are some nobility faction people in various departments, most are still in our hands.”
The man in the suit nodded, then said, “Let’s take action then.”
“Dispatch a team to take down the Devil Sect in one swoop and see Fang Ze’s reaction.”
At this, he thought for a moment and asked, “The Devil Sect has probably grown to about two to three thousand members by now, with three to four hundred Awakeners. Does your Security Bureau have the capacity to handle it?”
Xun Yi nodded and said, “The Execution Department has over a hundred Fusion stage masters and four to five hundred ordinary Awakeners; mobilizing them all should be sufficient.”
The man in the suit thought for a moment and shook his head, “No, that’s too risky with almost a 1:1 ratio. Now with Jiang Cheng absent, I will sign an order as a specialized commissioner and call in a few teams from the federal Defense Team to assist you.”
Pausing, he decisively added, “Regardless of whether this sect is related to Fang Ze, they might be involved in the worship of divinities from the Outer Realm. Such an organization cannot be allowed to exist.”
“Yes!” Gu Qing and Xun Yi responded in unison.
Having settled the matter, the man in the suit stood up to escort them out but just as he was about to turn back to his office after seeing them to the door, he suddenly stopped and called out to Gu Qing and Xun Yi, “Remember, the order to arrest the members of the Devil Sect should follow the procedure thoroughly, especially requiring Bai Zhi’s signature.”
Hearing the man in the suit’s words, Gu Qing and Xun Yi were momentarily stunned but then quickly understood his intentions.
Xun Yi opened her mouth as if to say something, but Gu Qing promptly grabbed her arm.
Xun Yi looked at Gu Qing, and he slightly frowned and imperceptibly shook his head. Then, nodding towards the man in the suit, he took the initiative and said, “Yes, Teacher Jing Tai. We understand.”
