Qiufeng District is the most important administrative area in the Second Ring Road of Shiqian City. Considering that the headquarters of most departments of the city government are also in this area, it is not wrong to say that it is the most important district in the entire Shiqian City.

Among the various strange buildings on the famous 111 Office Avenue, the dark giant auditorium-style building is also one of the most eye-catching.

At this time, in a conference hall of the Black Auditorium, a meeting that sounded very boring, but was actually even more boring, had entered the second half. In other words, the leaders had finally finished issuing guiding opinions. According to the process, everyone involved in the case

The person in charge began to report the information and get ready to get down to business.

"I know that you are probably also very upset about the 'Decapitator' case, but in fact, we have made no progress for more than half a year. As the eyes of society continue to focus, every new case is mocking us.

of incompetence”

The one talking non-stop on the stage was the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was still wearing the Order of the White Rooster. He was the nominal head of the task force and was making a concluding speech at this time.

He kept talking up top, but few people below him listened seriously, and he didn't care. As a diplomat, he had long been accustomed to talking to himself.

It is worth mentioning that there are several versions of the white chicken badge. When Shiqian City was built in the past, the cartoon chicken was so naive and had a vaguely roasted color that foreign affairs officers laughed at themselves. In the overall world environment,

The weak Shiqian City really doesn't matter. Don't take yourself and your so-called dignity too seriously and cause trouble.

There was a period when the pure white rookie looked like a dove of peace, with an olive branch in the corner of his mouth. The diplomats at that time would talk about peace outside and talk about peace. Those who didn't know still thought he was the best person in the world.

.

Start a war? You don't dare. Let's talk about everything. At worst, we'll give in to business. You don't dare invade our central city anyway.

Have you been wronged outside and your interests have been harmed? If you can find a brother, go ahead and do it, but others are not open to charity. An exchange of interests is inevitable. If it doesn't work, just hold it in and remember it.

It is said that those diplomats back then had a small notebook filled with names and events. What they were best at was fake smiles and deep breathing.

The current version, with its curved horns, sharp pupils, and provocative eyes, is more like a war eagle than a chicken. It goes without saying much about its specific behavior. In foreign affairs work, according to the current situation

The general situation and their own strength have changed, and the attitudes and methods of diplomats are completely different from before.

But even now, it is quite absurd for a senior foreign affairs official to take charge of criminal cases.

The reason? That’s the Atel guy sitting here.

Skibodar, the deputy ambassador of the Arter mission, is seeking justice for himself and the seven deceased members of the mission.

Just one day ago, on the street outside the embassy, ​​in full view of everyone, he stuffed a huge silver rib into the oath box and set a thirty-day countdown.

This kind of secret treasure box with subspace capacity is specially used to keep diplomatic secrets. Only the sealed person can open the box, and as long as the time set above ends, the items inside will disappear into the subspace.

"Instead of treating it as a useless treasure that is burned by the 'thief', it is better to release it as a bargaining chip to put pressure. If the time limit is up and we still can't solve the case, we will not lose much. It will only be Shiqian City that is sad. This level of god's material

Anything less is a permanent loss.”

Anyone who can be a diplomat is unlikely to be a fool. This sudden action is obviously a coup.

Although not a word was said, the relevant departments undoubtedly felt the pressure, which led to the rapid establishment of the "Decapitation Demon Task Force".

Diplomats take charge? Ha, obviously they are trying to appease the deputy ambassador. The actual handling of the case still depends on the secret police.

From the beginning of the meeting until now, the ambassador has been sitting in his seat without saying a word. His presence itself is exerting pressure. Logically speaking, he should not be allowed to participate in such internal affairs, but he

"There should be more than one rib of God. I was born into a well-known Atel family, and my family has many connections."

At that time, many people were filled with murderous intent, but the oath box before was effective again. If he died, the sacred bone in the city would be gone. This guy had already insured his life.

In diplomacy, the most fearful thing is that one party is controlled by others, while the other party has nothing to ask for.

To make matters worse, Skibodar was a skilled diplomat who was adept at using the conditions at his disposal.

"If the case is successfully solved, I will also fulfill the leader's last wish and sell this material to you."

There is doubt as to whether this is true, but at least now, he has succeeded in getting Shiqian City officials to fully protect him.

When he got there, the local security forces had to keep up. Many people were disgusted and uncomfortable. He must have applied for backup from his own tribe. As long as the large forces arrived, he would be completely safe.

As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is rarely frustrated in this era, it is not unknown to foreigners whether it has planned to torment outsiders with boring government affairs and succeeded, but the participants in other departments have almost become intolerable.

The chatter above was still going on, and another half hour was wasted. When the Foreign Minister finally stopped, not to mention the participants below breathed a sigh of relief, even the Alterian Skibodar also revealed some relief.

"You're a meat man, there's so much water."

The weird whispers made the people below chuckle, and the atmosphere became a bit strange.

The officers left one by one, leaving those who were doing business behind. After wasting a full three or four hours, and when it was almost dark, they could finally get down to business.

As the person directly responsible for this case, Xie Ying turned his head directly and said to his colleagues around him.

"Since Director Wei asked you to come, does it mean that you will represent the Ninth Division in this case? I thought that the one who came would be a more experienced veteran. Is this your Ninth Division's statement of giving up the initiative in the investigation? Forget it, wait for me

Contact your Director Wei to confirm the situation."

Is this saying that he is a noob to his face? Hearing Director Xie’s merciless comments, Toraichi Saki, who was temporarily attending the meeting, immediately became unhappy.

But remembering that the other party was Tie Ying, a well-known member of the disciplinary inspection team, who had been doing this job since before he was born, and indeed had the qualifications to evaluate himself, Toraichi Saki could only hold his breath and prepare to prove his strength with actions.

Next, respective information was exchanged, and various documents and files, as well as copies of photos and illustrations, were distributed to all participants.

But just by looking at it, Toraichi Saki really doubted whether he was qualified to participate in this case. This case definitely couldn't be solved with fists.

The victims reported last time were not all at all. There were only two returning ironman compatriots in the news. That was because these two had to be reported. The real death toll in one day was nine.

Only four of them were depleted of spiritual energy and met the conditions for the Demon Blade attack. If the other five hadn't suddenly changed the way they committed crimes, then they were simply copycats.

In fact, the police judged that there must be imitators among the four, or even all of them.

After all, the crime locations were too far apart, and it was too late to fly back and forth to commit the crime.

The data also shows that the number of "decapitation demons" has increased significantly, with several cases appearing every day, and several have been captured.

Some are imitators who really admire the decapitator, and some are just taking advantage of the chaos to act recklessly, thinking that since the police can't catch the decapitator, they can't catch him either. Even though these guys are basically arrested on the same day, there are more and more followers.

Even the official media was hesitant to broadcast such cases, and criminal investigation experts finally recommended not to broadcast them to avoid the emergence of more copycat criminals.

"That verbose uncle was right. If we can't catch the real culprit, our prestige and ability to solve crimes will be questioned, which will shake the security and stability of the entire city."

"Bang."

At this time, the only remaining ministerial official, Vice Minister Liu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tapped his tea cup hat on the table, attracting the attention of all participants.

"The case must be solved within twenty days, this is what the above said."

The simple words and calm tone were indeed a huge amount of pressure without discounting. Xie Ying frowned, the task time limit was a bit too much.

"Minister Liu, I'm not discounting the terms, but there were no clues in this case before. Now there are so many copycat criminals and copycat cases. The water is completely mixed, there are too many fake fish, and it will be very difficult within twenty days.

Even if we want to meet the alien race's request, we can discuss with him and delay it for a while, at least for two months."

The person who spoke was another criminal investigation expert. He couldn't handle this military order.

Hearing this, Minister Liu had a wry smile on his face. Didn't he know how pitiful this task was? Didn't he see that other deputy ministers didn't come to the meeting?

"It's not that box, although the things in that box are indeed very important. Every day, the R&D Department sends an inquiry letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and their ministers are almost convinced that we won't leave. Well, the point is that in twenty days, there will be the year-end Sword Master Tournament.

, this year is another triennial competition year. As usual, the outer ring

Yes, high-level officials from other nearby big cities and neutral forces will come here to watch games and look for good prospects. Do you think if a murder occurs at this time, or a high-level official suddenly loses his head, can we bear the consequences? Guys, this is

It is no longer a criminal case but a political incident."

Well, when it comes to diplomacy and politics, things become a hundred times more complicated in an instant.

Xie Ying opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

With so many years of work experience, he also knows that when superiors issue ironclad orders, it is completely useless to argue.

After Minister Liu finished speaking, he recorded the list of members of the task force, then stood up and left with the document bag.

What else is there to say? Just keep your head down and do it. If you can’t do it, just share the responsibility one by one.

Those still present now are all real criminal investigation veterans. After exchanging information with each other with sullen expressions, they started to act separately. As long as the traitor is not found out within a day, large-scale cooperation in handling the case is still unrealistic. It goes without saying that the teams work independently.

Xie Ying was also about to get up and leave, but looking at Tora Isaki who was busy sorting documents beside him, he sighed helplessly.

"This old Wei is so cunning. He must have heard the wind and asked the young man to take the blame."

Xie Ying himself didn't care. He had been deeply involved in it for a long time. Even if he had to be held accountable in the end, as the regional leader, it wouldn't be a big problem for him. At most, he could suspend his duties for half a year and go home to reflect, and it could be treated as an unpaid vacation.

This is Tora Isaki, who was obviously betrayed and tricked by his superiors. He probably won't be able to find anyone to report to when he went back. If he found someone, he would probably just say, "It's up to you. You can just take responsibility for the tasks you take on."

She also has no criminal investigation ability or work experience at all. Maybe the time limit is up and she won't be able to provide any useful information and it won't be of any use.

If you really get zero eggs, you will be judged as being unlucky in doing things and lacking in ability. This will be a devastating blow to the future of young people who are just starting out.

The little tiger had already called his immediate boss, but as expected no one answered. He sat at a loss in his seat and was so aggrieved that he almost cried.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Ying finally said one more thing.

"Girls from the Hu family are all in the same department. Let's get together and exchange information."

Immediately, Tora Isaki was overjoyed. She was not stupid and knew that this was the old man who wanted to help her.

After walking out, as expected, Xie Ying didn't mention any nonsense about information exchange, he just had a clear goal and chatted while walking.

"I entrusted this case to a private criminal investigation expert. Hehe, although he is young, he is recognized as one of the top ten criminal investigation experts in the city. You can follow him and work as a thug, even if it is just to arrest more

A few imitators won't make your grades bad."

Toraichi Saki nodded all the way. This was because he had met a kind-hearted nobleman. No wonder I heard that Director Xie's style is obviously very iron-blooded, and his reputation within the agency is very good.

"He is my junior brother. Although he only has two blades, his personal strength is still good. You don't have to worry about his safety, but you have to be careful about his character. He is now a civilian and does not need credit or credit.
