Chapter 259: [258] Your Prestige, Black Cat's Investigation Report

All along,

In Cheng Han's heart, there has always been a deep hidden worry.

When he took office as the Chief of the Inspection Bureau in Anhua City, he discovered that in the past six months, nearly eight hundred civilians had gone missing in the city.

This is a shocking number.

And in Qinglin City,

Under the leadership of the Black Cat, the army of the Cat Tribe has almost turned the entire city upside down, also discovering a large number of missing civilians.

The third city in the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm, Beitian City, has also experienced the same situation.

Later,

On that night of the Divine Language, Cheng Han personally sat in the Winter Garden and was attacked by a large number of flying monsters, known as the "Sinful Bat-Snakes".

He immediately realized that the enemy was likely using a group of bat-snakes to transport the missing people to secluded areas far from the city under the cover of night.

The deduction confirmed this speculation.

The illusion showed that the bat-snakes were carrying some figures flying towards the darkness in the distance.

Cheng Han once speculated that Dreamscape might be planning to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice to help Lady Snake fully awaken.

However,

Recently, a group of ghosts plus the Black Cat have been persistently searching in the wilderness, but they have not found any clues.

It's as if they have completely disappeared from the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm.

From this, it can be seen that the enemy's plot is not trivial, which is why they are behaving so cautiously.

At this moment,

Cheng Han looked at the black ripples in the halo screen and inexplicably thought of those missing people.

He muttered to himself, "Could this big fish be related to the missing people?"

From a logical analysis, it seems unlikely.

Because there is no place in the city where hundreds of people can be hidden without being discovered, and the deduction results show that the bat-snakes do indeed come from somewhere outside the city.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Han immediately made up his mind, "Since trying it won't cost me anything, let's make a deduction!"

With a thought,

Hundreds of dim stars shot into the halo and collided directly with it.

They represent the connections of the missing people.

A group of ghosts and the Black Cat had secretly come into contact with many personal belongings left by the missing people, and only then did they capture these connections.

Due to the weak scent left on the items, the connections were relatively weak, so the stars appeared quite dim.

In an instant,

The halo expanded slightly.

A part of the black ripples suddenly dissipated, and some fragmented pieces flashed in the screen.

These were obviously the connections of those missing people, slightly breaking through the concealment power and revealing a bit of hidden truth.

Cheng Han was greatly surprised, "The big fish is actually related to the missing people!"

His thought moved again.

Dozens of stars lit up and then entered the center of the halo.

These were the connections intercepted from the last time they killed the group of bat-snakes.

This time,

The screen did not change at all.

Cheng Han was a bit confused, "Why is there no connection between the bat-snakes and the big fish?"

According to reason,

The bat snake group is responsible for transporting the missing persons, and the missing persons are also related to the big fish, so the bat snake should also have a relationship with the big fish.

This is really contrary to common sense!

He suppressed his doubts and began to observe the fragmented images in the halo.

After a while.

Cheng Han murmured in a very low voice, "A door?"

He recalled some of his experiences as an inspector, and his eyes became deeper: "If that's the case, it would be very interesting!"

*

The next day.

The New Year atmosphere in the council hall suddenly became intense.

Every door in the council building was adorned with exquisite celebration paintings, and the central theme of the paintings was related to Wan Hao Shen Rong.

Without exception.

The two metal doors of this building, each four meters high, were adorned with two exquisitely carved relief paintings.

When Cheng Han came "to work" in the morning, he stood in front of the door for a while, looking up at the huge paintings with great interest.

And the honorable Chief Executive, standing here like this, all the employees who were coming and going suddenly dared not approach.

The originally bustling entrance of the door seemed to have been "cleared" away.

There's no way.

The prestige of this Chief Executive is really too great.

Even the two Deputy Chief Executives would unconsciously tremble their legs when they saw the Chief Executive, let alone ordinary employees?

Cheng Han noticed this scene from the corner of his eye and made a gesture to the female secretary.

Xie You immediately gestured to the employees and urged in a low voice, "Those who should go in, go in. Those who should go out, go out. What are you all standing here for?"

The group of people dared not disobey and quickly moved.

Interestingly, everyone unanimously chose to enter the hall by sticking to the right door frame, and when they came out of the hall, they stuck to the left door frame.

No one dared to step into the thunder pool within two meters of Cheng Han.

As if this place was a terrifying dragon's den.

This fact made the corner of his mouth twitch involuntarily.

Am I going to eat people?

Is it necessary?

Cheng Han shook his head slightly and continued to observe the relief paintings.

The themes of the two paintings are also Shen Rong, and because the size is very large, there are many details presented.

For example.

Each painting has hundreds of large and small leaves, and on each larger leaf, you can see the outline of the city.

This is obviously a small spiritual realm.

And also.

Some very thick Shen Rong spiritual branches are hanging with slightly raised round cakes, with strange patterns carved on the surface, looking like fruits.

Cheng Han looked at the female secretary and asked a strange question in a low voice, "Does Shen Rong bear fruit?"

Xie You was stunned for a moment and shook her head blankly, "I haven't heard of it."

And also.

At the very top of the Shen Rong, there is a particularly large sphere hanging, connected to the Shen Rong by several slender lines.

Cheng Han stared at it for several seconds.

Xie You followed her boss's gaze and saw the sphere, guessing, "This is probably a decoration painted by the artist."

Cheng Han nodded, "Perhaps."

He knew too many secrets that ordinary people didn't know, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Wanhao Shenrong is the land of the human race's survival, and it is also the super divine object that protects the human race. Even if it's just a related portrait, which painter dares to randomly paint it?

There is a specific crime in the law called the crime of blasphemy against Shenrong.

The punishment is also very severe, with a "starting price" of twenty years of hard labor.

Cheng Han felt in his heart that the "fruit" on the huge painting was still a "sphere," which must symbolize some unknown existence.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

(This paragraph is not clear, the following text will reveal the answer)

After the two of them left, the traffic congestion in the hall was relieved by more than half.

And the fact that "His Excellency the Grand Chancellor watched the door painting for a minute" became the "hot headline" of the entire council chamber.

*

Naturally.

The office of the Grand Chancellor has also completely changed its appearance.

And it is a very luxurious new appearance.

The original gray carpet was replaced with a more festive red color; hundreds of ribbons were hung from the ceiling, interspersed with many colored lights; the original green plants were removed and replaced with dozens of potted green banyan trees.

Each green banyan tree had tender green sprouts scattered on its branches.

These green sprouts heralded a new beginning.

Or rather, the new year.

As usual.

Cheng Han walked into the luxurious restaurant attached to the office, and the female secretary quickly called the maid to bring a sumptuous breakfast.

This is one of the benefits of being the Grand Chancellor.

Meals are free!

The female secretary personally served as a maid, serving her boss's meal.

While enjoying the food, Cheng Han also checked the latest news about the young girl.

"The council chamber in Qinglin City sent New Year's greetings in advance, and one of them is a gift for you. The Qian family also received a gift."

"My dad was so happy last night that he had several drinks. He said that he had never received a New Year's gift from the council chamber before..."

Although it was just an inconspicuous daily matter.

Reading it gave a warm feeling.

Cheng Han was still hesitating about how to deal with the "big fish," but now he finally made up his mind: "Since the other party likes to hide and seek, I will startle the snake in the grass."

"In three days, it will be New Year's Day. I might as well send Mr. Big Fish a New Year's gift on the first day of the new year."

The general plan was set, and the details needed careful consideration.

This is his way of doing things.

Striving for perfection in every detail.

Only in this way can the success rate be improved.

*

Half an hour later.

Breakfast was over.

Cheng Han began to officially fulfill the duties of the Grand Chancellor - the daily affairs meeting.

In the past few days.

This matter was attended by the female secretary on his behalf.

Today is Cheng Han's first attendance at the meeting.

As the Grand Chancellor, he naturally made the final appearance.

Just as he stepped into the conference room.

"Hua!"

All the personnel stood up in unison and shouted, "Your Excellency, we salute you!"

Cheng Han's gaze swept over the nervous faces, nodding his head, "Please sit down."

"Hua!"

These officials obediently sat down, behaving even more docile than elementary school students.

In reality.

The daily actions of some of these officials could be described as "overbearing," but the reputation of the Grand Chancellor was too great, causing everyone to be submissive.

Cheng Han's gaze turned to the female secretary, succinctly saying, "You preside, I will listen."

Xie Youmeng responded, "Okay."

Miss You cleared her throat and loudly said, "The main topic of this meeting is how to prepare for the New Year celebration..."

While Cheng Han appeared to be listening, his thoughts were elsewhere.

Because he had received a report from the Black Cat.

That's right!

This was indeed a report.

For a cat, this was truly astonishing.

In the past.

The investigation information sent by the Black Cat was often scattered and disorganized, requiring Cheng Han to sort it out himself.

But last month.

For some reason, the Black Cat suddenly started writing proper investigation reports.

And believe it or not, the format and content were well-organized, with a good logical flow.

Just like this report.

"This cat highly suspects that Liu Wei's father fell into a trap carefully set by the Dream Birth Society. Without his knowledge, the Liu family residence has become the secret base of the Dream Birth Society."

The opening statement gave the conclusion.

Although the use of "this cat" in the report was a bit amusing.

"Based on multiple investigations, Liu Wei's father has a fondness for collecting antiques, especially those with a history of over three thousand years."

"For many years, he has spent no less than four hundred gold coins on purchasing antiques and has set up an antique display room in the basement."

"This is highly consistent with the deduction of the master. The hidden power that interferes with deductions should come from the display room."

The report included a long list.

This was the inventory of antiques in the display room, including the name of each antique, approximate purchase time, purchase amount, and so on.

And within just one day, the Black Cat had compiled this information, showing how much effort it had put in.

Cheng Han silently nodded.

Indeed!

The logic is very rigorous!

"This cat believes that the Dream Birth Society, with the help of antique dealers, disguised a hidden object as an antique and sold it to Liu Wei's father."

"This cat will investigate each person related to the antique list until a suspicious person is found."

To be fair, this was a very good train of thought.

Cheng Han immediately praised, "Detective, you've done a great job!"

Through the soul link, the Black Cat responded, "Meow! Meow meow!"

The meows were filled with joy.

Cheng Han severed the link and his gaze became deep and profound, "Antiques? It seems my judgment was correct. This might really be a door."
