Chapter 1260: Cai Heizi's Nefarious Scheme, Triggered Downfall (10k)_2

Using this as a starting point, spread outward, manually in conjunction with AI to filter through, and find a direction to investigate.

That guy is alive, he will have contact with others, using a smartphone, and if he doesn’t only make calls, then this contact will become more extensive.

As long as resources are invested, there will definitely be some clues.

The Gatekeeper, in his younger days, was a hooligan, as they say in local parlance, a loafer.

Later, among the familiar acquaintances, quite a few have ended up running sewing machines inside.

The Scorching Sun Department found out that in the place where this guy resides, someone has been using a phone to contact some of the former loafers.

And among them, one has been incarcerated again this year for breaking and entering, which is an ordinary officer’s case, unrelated to the Scorching Sun Department.

But on this end, the Scorching Sun Department traces it back to where there’s another key target already staying in this prison, speculating that this repeat offender went in deliberately to do certain things or to obtain some information.

The General Director came to take a look in person. It wasn’t necessary for him to direct the capture of ordinary people; his presence was merely to show his stance.

Wen Yan was attacked while sleeping, and it was after he had set the priority for related events. If no stance is expressed, people might think the matter isn’t significant.

Is this a provocation? Is it a test?

If they dare attack Wen Yan today, what might they dare to do tomorrow?

A heavy blow must be dealt, the stance absolutely should not be weak.

Once funding, permissions, and resources are in place, capturing some old hooligans doesn’t require deliberate reasons.

Just digging up some old cases will do, previously unresolved non-suspicious cold cases, just pulling them out for a spin, as long as related evidence is found, directly take the people down first.

For a case that can only get at most a year to three years, grab the people first and let them bite each other; someone will always want to contribute to merit.

In this world of chaos, no matter how much they yell loyalty outside, once inside, brothers and peers are just tools to reduce the sentence, if you don’t sell out others, others will sell you out.

In one day, dozens of people were arrested, causing unease in the underworld, even those who are out of touch have heard about these matters.

Some people started to keep a low profile, and some who clearly weren’t being affected began to quietly flee.

Those more informed, who knew that so many people were arrested and heard there wasn’t even an anti-crime operation, started to get a bit panicky instead.

Those who had nothing to do with it originally, due to being frightened, started to perform silly maneuvers and ended up being caught instead.

There was one guy, who couldn’t resist and went to dig up the murder weapon he had buried on a mountain, but the barren mountain that not even birds visited has now become a developed tourist spot.

This guy ran to a place outside the routes and was discovered by someone, got into a conflict because of it, and exposed the unearthed murder weapon, providing a laughable performance.

The so-called underworld suddenly became quite restless.

The General Director was pondering when the Chief Secretary shuffled over and whispered.

“Wen Yan went to find a Dream Tapir who opened a shop in Yu State. He said this doctor is his friend and is worried about his friend’s safety, so he wants to look into the matter, but he didn’t have the related permissions, so he just applied for them.”

The General Director checked around, then took the Chief Secretary and left.

Back at the office, the General Director looked at the records and didn’t approve the permissions either.

The matter of the Dream Tapir is very important; he wants to ensure the safety of the Dream Tapir tribe, especially this time where the Dream Tapir Tribe has been enlisted, being the only tribe among all different races that specializes entirely in this aspect, and is willing to integrate into society, collaborating with the Scorching Sun Department.

The related permission data does not belong to a single event type permission, but rather to a general type permission level.

Single event type permission can indeed be viewed by the related personnel after obtaining approval.

But the general type permission level, according to regulations, requires the viewer’s own level to be sufficient before they can view after obtaining approval.

This type of top-secret data, even the General Director must follow the regulations to view, with time, place, and people all needing to be meticulously recorded.

Back then, someone made significant contributions from the Dream Tapir Tribe. Nowadays, the place they reside is also near the military district to ensure aerial units appear onsite within five minutes of receiving instruction, and ground personnel can reach the site within fifteen minutes.

The General Director pondered and then made a call to Wen Yan.

“What? Have you discovered something?”

“I entered once today, and saw…”

“Stop!” The General Director immediately interrupted Wen Yan, halting his words.

“Remember, do not casually tell others what you have seen or experienced. Some things should not be told to others. Until you can distinguish what can be said and what cannot, it’s best not to say anything. Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

“Don’t think that what you’ve experienced or seen is ordinary; using normal thinking, it may not seem like something important, but whether it’s important or not truly cannot be judged by your usual cognition. If you speak, it may bring about undesirable changes, and in the most severe cases, your cultivation might be destroyed.”

“Ah?” Wen Yan was shocked, is it really this serious?

“Yes, it is indeed this serious, because there are precedents for this. Previously, there was a Daoist Master whose entire cultivation was destroyed because he spoke about what he saw inside, things he thought were commonplace.”
