Chapter 325 The third mutation
Liyue Port, Detention Center under the General Affairs Department.
This place is located in the south of Liyue Port. It is relatively remote and has little movement of people. However, the defense force is not weak. Qianyan Army is patrolling at all times.
Generally speaking, people who have made mistakes but their faults are not too big will be placed in this place.
In most cases, those imprisoned here are some of the larger gangsters in Liyue Port. Most of them like to form gangs and are the bosses of certain small groups.
But now, there is someone here who is completely different from the others.
He has the Eye of God and is not weak in strength.
——Shi Quan.
According to common sense, as an official, secretly contacting the treasure thief group and almost causing a large-scale mountain collapse was a serious and serious incident, and Shi Quan should have been directly imprisoned.
but...
Considering his own identity, the fact that the disaster has not yet happened, and Ningzhe's hint before leaving...
As a result of various factors, he was temporarily exempted from being sent to jail directly, but was instead locked up in this detention center.
Of course, it's only temporary.
But even so, this was a devastating blow to his reputation.
As a well-known and powerful man in Liyue Port, and one of the top eldest brothers in the warlock force, his majesty and status are not low - but under such circumstances, he was imprisoned in the detention center, and his
The "inmates" are just some gangsters hanging around Liyue Port.
There is no doubt that his majesty will be greatly reduced, although not many people know why he was imprisoned.
After being imprisoned, Shi Quan was very honest. He neither shouted to ask the alchemist family to come forward for him nor threatened the guards to let him out - instead he stayed silent in his room.
As an alchemist, one of his methods of practice is to meditate and recuperate. Perhaps for him, being locked up in this place is another kind of relief.
Having lost his reputation and majesty, he is no longer qualified to compete with the current head of the family, Shi Qi, for the throne, and those with different intentions in the clan will no longer set their sights on him - who would put their chips on a gangster?
What about the people locked together?
Although the news of his arrest has not spread, it is not a secret. At least the Alchemist family knows about it.
But obviously, no one came to help him.
The head of the family, Shi Qi, was undoubtedly the first to receive the news, but so far there has been no news from him, as if he has disappeared.
The clan elders also received the news, but judging from their reactions, it was not an easy task for them to sacrifice their dignity and come to the detention center to fish for the person in person.
The reactions of the above people were still expected, but the actions of a certain group surprised the people at the detention center and the General Affairs Department.
——Shi Quan’s cronies, men who have been loyal to him for decades.
They seemed not to have seen this happen, and had no countermeasures at all, as if they had completely abandoned him.
Very strange, very strange.
Wu Guan, officer of the General Affairs Department, is responsible for managing this matter. His job is not only to monitor Shi Quan in the detention center, but also to pay close attention to the reaction of the alchemist family.
but...
"No one, not a letter, not even a word..."
Wu Guan stood in the lobby of the detention center, looking at the information in his hand and frowning uncontrollably.
After waiting for a while, he sighed and said with emotion: "...It's really a wall that everyone has pushed against. These aristocratic families usually rely on the care of powerful people, but now that something has happened, they can't even say a word
I dare not say anything."
This information was sent by the commissioner of the General Affairs Department, and it recorded the reactions of almost all members of the alchemist family after learning about this incident.
According to the investigation results, the senior management and core personnel of the Alchemist Family remained on the sidelines. They accepted the official announcement on this matter, but remained silent, as if the matter had already passed.
As for the other personnel, whether they were ordinary family members, powerful alchemists, or former trusted confidants of Shi Quan, they all chose to [forget], and it seemed that they had simply forgotten that there was such a person as Shi Quan.
Although Shi Quan himself didn't seem surprised by this, Wu Guan, as the guard, couldn't help but sigh.
"A big family..."
He put down all the information in his hand, then sat down and stroked his forehead with a headache.
In fact, his job is not simply "monitoring" and "paying attention", but trying to find a way to use Shi Quan's clue to find out how many people in the alchemist family have different intentions.
Shi Quan is the backbone, and what he does and does not represent is definitely him alone. The few elders in the core group of alchemists must have his supporters.
even...
Shi Quan himself was a supporter of that elder, so he would not hesitate to cooperate with the treasure stealing group and commit such a heinous act.
——But until there is conclusive evidence, these are just speculations.
What Wu Guan has to do is find evidence.
Originally, he was very confident. After all, he was one of the few agents assigned to the General Affairs Department after the Privy Council reorganization. He was already familiar with investigating clues.
However, the traditions of these aristocratic families still made him feel a little emotional.
Such a powerful tribesman was imprisoned in a detention center, but they actually chose to remain silent because they were concerned about something related to their reputation...
To be fair, Wu Guan felt that their idea was simply stupid.
Reputation is very important, especially for a family with a history of thousands of years.
But the problem is, your family of alchemists doesn't have much honor now. Haven't you already joined the Liyue authorities, and the impact of the initial incident was much worse than being imprisoned in a detention center.
Assassinate the relatives of Liyue Qixing?
Tsk tsk...
If the official really wanted to pursue this matter, your Alchemist Family would not even be able to maintain the composition of the [Family], and would directly break it up and integrate it into the Qianyan Army and various departments.
How difficult can it be to divide just a family, and a family that is already in decline?
"such a pity."
Wu Guan leaned on his seat and sighed again.
If they still choose to remain silent, choose to sever ties with Shi Quan and "give up" on him, then this will be their most tragic ending.
Thinking of this, Wu glanced at the corridor. At the end of this corridor was the room where Shi Quan was imprisoned.
For the holder of the Eye of God, the staff of the General Affairs Department still retain basic respect for him - at least his room is the hardest.
"Hey...it's so tiring to deal with big families here."
He withdrew his eyes and looked towards the hall, only to see someone he didn't expect.
The visitor was a young alchemist. He was wearing a simple and clean alchemist uniform and had neat blue hair.
"Chongyun?"
Wu Guan just remembered something now.
