Hidden Corners

Back at the office, Dunis was already sitting on the sofa, panting and drinking water. Apparently everything had been taken care of.

Seeing Li Chengyi enter the door, he suddenly showed a helpless look.

"Boss, what happened just now."

"As long as it's over, it's okay. If people come again in the future, I will solve it together." Li Chengyi said with a smile.

Dunis was speechless and could only stare at him with sad eyes. The sad eyes of a grown man made Li Chengyi's heart skip a beat.

"Okay, okay, I have a task for you to do. Collect all the large-scale abortion incidents that have occurred around this neighborhood in the past five years." Li Chengyi knew that it would be too inefficient to ask questions one by one, so he still had to It’s best to have local people you know well.

"No problem. But..." Dunis was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"The fee will be deducted from the firm's account. It can be within one million." Li Chengyi brought a lot of gold bars. Gold is a hard currency everywhere and is very useful.

Compared with diamonds, which can be synthesized artificially, gold and silver are non-renewable resources and are used as precious metals in many places.

"I know." Dunis said helplessly.

Listening to the two people talking, Nilan, who was following behind, puffed her cheeks and looked dissatisfied.

After Li Chengyi gave instructions and left, she pulled her father and ran to the corner.

"Dad, can you look after people? I feel like this boss is really not good at it. I just asked him to come back to save the scene, but he stopped moving halfway. It was my best friend who made a temporary rescue to drive away the two of them."

"No, Mr. Li doesn't seem to be that kind of person. After all, with so much money, there is no need to wade into this muddy water. You probably just misunderstood." Dunis was not so simple, but he saw a little bit of the truth.

"You have never thought that they want to take advantage and not do anything?" Nilan asked back.

"Isn't that possible? He already kept me as an employee, so there's no need." Dunis hesitated.

"Knowing people but not their hearts, people's hearts are unpredictable." Nilan started educating her father at a young age. "I think it's better for us to prepare in advance to remove them and run away. If they don't plan to contribute in the first place and can't contribute, they won't have anywhere to run when something happens."

"Don't worry, I believe Mr. Li is not such a person." Dunis shook his head.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason why Li Chengyi would do this. If he didn't want to cause trouble, wouldn't it be the end if he didn't hire him as an employee in the first place?

Seeing that her father couldn't do his job, Nilan could only pouted slightly helplessly and stared in the direction of the office study, as if she wanted to see through the door and stare at Li Chengyi sitting inside.

But she didn't know that the study and office were already empty at this time, with no one at all.

Ludian city center, municipal office.

In the empty office, political officer Wenlin Salton was rubbing his temples tiredly and sitting at his desk.

The black phone was put down, and the documents on the table still had the heat of being printed out.

In the coffee cup in the empty space on the right, the steam of hot milk has already cooled down.

He was so busy signing the documents that had just arrived that he even forgot to drink the milk for breakfast.

Boom, boom, boom.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. The rhythmic knocking sound, neither fast nor slow, shows the steady patience of outsiders.

"Please come in." Wen Lin said in a low voice.

Not everyone can come in here. Ordinary people will be stopped by the security guards, hunter inspectors, and secretary Barty outside.

So those who can come to the door here are the ones he can meet.

Click.

The door was gently pushed open, and a man with long silver-white hair in a black slim-fitting trench coat slowly walked in and closed the door behind his back.

The man naturally walked to the guest chair in front of the desk and sat down. His black eyes with a hint of gold looked at Wen Lin.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Chengyi. I am currently the owner of a detective agency."

"I don't remember this appointment." Wen Lin frowned and looked at the other party. He was just the owner of a detective agency, not a large agency, and he was not qualified to come to this office.

It should be a small person who found other ways to sneak in.

He immediately reached for the phone receiver, preparing to ask his secretary to kick the person out.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this." Li Chengyi said calmly. "A stranger can freely enter your office at any time and avoid all other protections. What you should do now is not to anger him, but try to listen and understand his appeal."

Wen Lin's hand holding the microphone paused, he was frightened.

Before, my mind was just too tired and I couldn't react for a while. Now that I came back to my senses, I immediately understood what it meant for the person in front of me to be able to sit here.

"Okay, then Mr. Li Chengyi, can you tell me what makes you willing to take such a big risk and sneak in here just to meet me?" He let go of his hand and looked at the other party seriously.

The name Li Chengyi has a very foreign style, and he is obviously not a native of Ludian.

"Of course not." Li Chengyi picked up the documents on the table and looked through them.

"I just came here to try out the security force. I was originally planning to go to the hunter branch in this city, but I need to do something here, so I went here first."

During the days since Li Chengyi came here, he naturally did not always guard the remaining spots of Hua Yuzhu's aura in the office, but quickly became familiar with the hidden situation in the entire city.

Ludian belongs to the Venus Federation of Anze and is one of the hundreds of prefecture-level cities.

All security forces in the urban area are mainly controlled by the hunter branch. The army here is not mainly based on artillery and firearms like Diyue, but mainly hunters and supplemented by soldiers.

What they need to face are not ordinary thermal weapons, but all kinds of weird and bizarre opponents of the Theocracy.

The human sea tactic is meaningless here. Only elites are the key to ensuring everything is stable.

This has also led to the entire federation, and even the entire Anze, hunters being like stars in the hearts of people who know the dark world.

A powerful hunter is packaged and promoted as a star. The land around where he lives will rise, and he will gain both fame and fortune.

The federal government has also created a hunter ranking to completely financialize some hunters, and even a single strong hunter can make money by investing in the dark market.

The most contradictory thing is that hunters have no special abilities. At most, they have top qualities and skills that reach the limits of human beings. They are still extremely dangerous when facing various monster opponents.

The negative consequence of stardom is that the hunters who can truly remain active are those who are extremely good at packaging themselves.

A truly practical hunter who dares to do this is because he doesn't want to die quickly enough.

"Then Mr. Li, you can tell me your purpose of coming." Wen Lin straightened his attitude and said seriously.

"I need records of all crowd gatherings that occurred around my office in the past five years." Li Chengyi said.

"A gathering of people? Does it count as a festival?" Wen Lin frowned.

"It counts."

"This is easy to handle. All major matters are recorded." Wen Lin opened the drawer, rummaged inside for a while, and quickly took out a brown plastic-covered document bag.

The thick document bag was filled with documents stacked one after another.

He handed it to Li Chengyi.

The latter took it, quickly opened it, and scanned it quickly.

A document has hundreds of words on a single page, and Li Chengyi can easily understand it just by scanning it.

His strong consciousness allows him to easily master the language of the Federation of Venus. This simple language is much easier than the difficult language of Black Haven.

A document of more than ten pages was like flipping through a book in his hands, and he finished reading it after flipping through it.

While he was flipping through it, Wen Lin sat patiently, waiting for the results.

He was thinking about what kind of force the other party came from.

Li Chengyi, the style of this name is somewhat similar to the pattern of Dongting in the east. Most of the Ascension Theocracy there have this style.

But the Ascension Theocracy is far away from here, and there are many forces in between. Why does such a person suddenly come here?

Look for records of events where crowds gathered, obviously to investigate something.

Is it investigating the people inside, the incident itself, or looking for objects?

If you are looking for someone or something, you will definitely use the power of the municipal government. Just now the other party said that they are going to the hunter branch, which means that the other party is not a hunter, and their camp or strength does not care about hunters.

If you are a member of the Sunlight Council, you can just issue an announcement from above and end the matter. There is no need to go to such trouble.

so.

The identity of the other party is about to be revealed.

A strong foreigner who is not a hostile force, has good strength, and has just come from other places to look for something!

Thinking of this, Wen Lin's heart suddenly became hot.

"Mr. Li wants to find someone?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Li Chengyi nodded. Didn't he deliberately reveal so much information just to get the other party to cooperate according to his wishes?

"If you are looking for someone with a similar name to yours, then four years ago, a vicious conflict occurred near Sesshu Street. People from the Hades Cult clashed with a group of unknown forces, and both sides suffered numerous casualties. There were only a few people, and in the end, before the Hades Cult mobilized bishop-level experts, that group of people mysteriously disappeared." Wen Lin said quickly.

"I still have a vivid memory of that incident. The Hades Order is a member of the Sunlight Council. After giving evidence that the other party has broken the rules, they have the right to deal with the other party according to their own internal canon rules. Therefore, our hunter branch has no right to intervene. .”

He paused and continued: "Unexpectedly, that group of people actually succeeded in repelling the power of the cult and retreated on their own, leaving the city."

"Do you know the identities of those people?" Li Chengyi asked.

"Most of them have yellow skin and black eyes. Some of them are very fast when they move, and their size will increase. Some of them control a very fast metal weapon for offense and defense. But they themselves seem to be very fragile, which is a strong point. A force with obvious weaknesses." Wen Lin replied.

Li Chengyi's heart trembled, isn't this Fei Yi?

Although the flying instrument is fast and accurate, the flying instrument itself is actually very weak. After the basic rules are changed, the strength of the flying instrument will be greatly reduced. It is normal to not make much noise when fighting.

After hearing this, he was basically sure that it was the Mingyuan Group and his party.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, for the specific situation, we all asked around at that time, but we didn't know the origin of that group of people.

If you want to know more, you can only go to the people of the Hades Religion. However, they believe in the gods of the underworld and have some kind of mysterious power. If you are not very sure, I suggest you go to the hunter branch to inquire first. Let’s get the information clear. "Wen Lin's attitude is quite sincere.

After confirming the identity of the other party, he knew that his opportunity had come.

He has always been in an extremely embarrassing position, even though he is the number one city official, he also serves as the number two number one in the hunter branch.

But in fact, the power of hunters and the power of the city government are far inferior to those of the major religious groups.

The reason why the current balance can be maintained is simply because the forces of other religious groups in the Sunlight Council balance and restrict each other.

In fact, there is a huge lack of real masters among hunters.

Although the hunter has used tricks to win over many strong people close to the sect and owe them a lot of favors, these are ultimately not as good as having masters of his own.

"In the urban area, the Hades Order and the Crescent Order are the largest forces. They check and balance each other. If you want to investigate more information, you can go to the Crescent Order to exchange information. Let me tell you a little trick. That group of vampires In fact, they value the spirit of contract very much, and they are just like ordinary people when they are not sucking blood. They call themselves nobles and attach great importance to promises and oaths." Wen Lin finished.
