Book 3: Clear River in Tur for People (2/2)
The Secret Task Force’s true authority was still related to assassinations and reporting to the iovernmental officials, that was a responsibility in name only Of course, if evidence fell in someone’s hands and they reported it, the people involved would be punished accordingly, but if there was no evidence, then they were only really blowing hot air
However, Cloud Leopard could still use this as an excuse He didn’t request the interrogation, but if Xing Shabei disregarded procedure and refused to procure the dossier, he could report that
Xing Shabei had only just taken on this position and didn’t want to be accused ijun, bring the evidence over to Knowledge Executor Su”
Very quickly, a dossier was brought before Su Chen
Su Chen flipped through it carefully He sa Duan Feng and the other three got in contact with the pirates, then set up an ambush for the fleet on the outskirts of the river Both human testimonies and material evidence were present
The dossier was quite ih he kneas fake, if he only looked at the dossier and the associatedhad happened
Regardless, no matter how real they made it seem, it was still fake and couldn’t conceal the truth
As he inspected itSir Xing, it says on here that Duan Feng and the others sold the information about the departure of the fleet to the bandits, which resulted in the fleet being exterminated Is that accurate?”
“So what if it is?”
“Nothing really I just wanted to ask how they knew the tiin Bureau isn’t responsible for financial ht out one of the He Clan’s underlings to obtain the inforo and grab……”
“You don’t need to bring the person to me I’m not interested in hu that the He Clan’s underling didn’t sell the information directly to the pirates but to them They took such a roundabout way and let someone else haul in the profits?”
“Perhaps he was too cowardly and didn’t dare to directly interact with the pirates”
“Then I have another question On here, it says that the fleet was sent to West River Forest to buy redients and was robbed en route I want to confirm whether they were robbed on their way there or on their way back”
“Is there a difference?”
“Please answer the question”
“This……” Xing Shabei hesitated for a moment, then said, “It should’ve been when they were on their way there Yes, when they were on their way there”
Su Chen laughed “That’s quite interesting Everyone knows of the reputation of the resources froold can be sold for hundreds of times the price outside However, this market has always been firmly in the control of the Bloodline nobility Clans, and no outsiders can stick their hands in Now, sooods, but they attacked while the caravan was still on its way instead of waiting for theredients…… If that’s the case, then what’s the point of robbing the boats at all? If they wanted pure gold, why not just rob someone’s store for it?”
“I remembered incorrectly It was on the way back, they were robbed on the way back!” Xing Shabei hurriedly corrected
“You’re sure!”
“Extremely so!”
Su Chen’s expression sank “If it’s on the way back, we have an even bigger issue Based on what I know, the West River Forest villagers are still in conflict with the ten Bloodline nobility Clans over prices and shouldn’t have sold theoods in the first place If that’s the case, what redients could the pirates possibly have stolen?”
“What?” Xing Shabei was shocked
How did Su Chen know about that?
Su Chen had already stood up and said, “The Clear River Robbery case has too ate the prisoners to figure out that there’s soate, even ht pop up Of course, you can continue to overlook these discrepancies and continue to keep those people locked up, and we can report this iree to both take a step back”
“Both take a step back?” Xing Shabei’s eyes glinted coldly
“Yes, both take a step back,” Su Chen replied “Perhaps you don’t understand s in a relentless fashi+on until I either succeed or die trying Taking a step back today is a rare occurrence forfrom me for your new position Please be sure to value it!”
The words, though spoken indifferently, carried a weight behind them that was extremely difficult to rebuff
