Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Evidence in Hand, The Arrest Begins
"Master."
Li Qi looked at Qin Tian, his eyes glinting with wild joy.
The Spiritual Energy had increased by one level, and his bloodline had also evolved to a certain extent.
This was only the effect of the first time; he couldn’t imagine how much stronger he would become if the Blood Pool below was fully absorbed.
"Not bad, not bad."
Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Just now, his {Night Demon} Bloodline had been enhanced, and since Li Qi’s bloodline level was lower, the enhancement effect would be more noticeable.
However, if his Night Demon Bloodline didn’t advance to the next level, then there would still be a limit to how much Li Qi’s bloodline could ascend, stopping at Bronze Level.
Qin Tian glanced at the Blood Pool below. After being absorbed by him, Kazik, and Li Qi, the level of the 20-meter diameter circular Blood Pool had decreased by about 7 centimeters.
And the total depth of the Blood Pool was at least over two meters, enough for them to absorb for a long time.
"That’s it for today, from now on I’ll bring you here when you’re on night duty."
Qin Tian patted Li Qi’s shoulder.
Usually, Li Qi was inseparable from Shang Mingyi and Li Si, always keeping an eye on each other. Only when the three took turns on night duty could they have time alone.
"Thank you, Master."
Li Qi nodded heavily, his heart filled with emotion. Since following his master, he had first obtained a precious bloodline, then broke through to Tier Four, and now another opportunity for rapid advancement was right in front of him.
It’s really important to follow the right person.
If he were still working for the Wen Family now, he would be like other members of the Shadow Division, carrying out various dangerous and secretive missions, and might end up dying miserably on some mission, then disposed of like garbage by the Wen Family.
"Let’s go, remember to send out the materials on the Wen Family’s crimes in three days."
"Yes."
......
Inside the room
"This Wen Family has a lot of issues."
Jiang Chenghai, a Level One Investigator of the Judgement Court, looked at his subordinates with a serious expression:
"As the Chief, it’s understandable for the Wen Family to cultivate power, but they’ve extended their reach too far. Nearly half of the high-ranking officials in the Silver Gray Star’s Military Department are staunch allies of the Wen Family, with allies everywhere in the business and political worlds. Half of the Silver Gray Star is almost becoming theirs."
"Don’t you find it strange?"
Deputy Captain Cui Chuan frowned and said, "Although Wen Zhongli is the Chief, he doesn’t have a great influence on the Military Department. But look, even Deputy Commander Xiahou Yang is willing to listen to the Wen Family’s orders. Need I say more about the other high-ranking officials? The Wen Family’s word carries more weight than the Military Department’s orders."
"How exactly did the Wen Family manage to make these people obey, willing to bear all responsibility rather than betray the Wen Family?"
"It’s hard to say right now."
Jiang Chenghai spoke heavily. During these ten days of investigation, they’d faced more obstacles than anticipated. Many people either stayed silent or spread false information to mislead the investigation.
And as an enforcement agency, the Judgement Court couldn’t use violent means to get information. Fortunately, the Seventh Bureau provided a lot of materials on the Wen Family, ensuring they weren’t left empty-handed.
In short, the investigation is progressing, but they couldn’t yet get conclusive evidence to directly pin the Wen Family’s crimes.
Beep beep beep
Just then, Jiang Chenghai’s smart wristwatch vibrated a few times, and he received a data packet. Upon opening it, his eyes immediately narrowed.
This was a very valuable piece of material, detailing the Wen Family’s unknown subordinate forces and secret agencies. Besides that, it listed what these people had done for the Wen Family.
The time, place, and process were all meticulously detailed, with numerous photos attached.
"Captain, what’s the matter?"
The team members asked one after another.
Jiang Chenghai’s eyes were strange, and he suddenly chuckled softly:
"Seems like the Wen Family isn’t as united as we thought; someone’s delivering evidence right into our hands."
"Really?"
The team members’ eyes lit up, and they quickly gathered around to check out the evidence materials.
The Four Seas Commerce Association, Blood Hand Mercenary Corps, the Odde Armed Escort Company, the Shadow Division...
These forces seemed unrelated to the Wen Family, but they were actually the deepest hidden cards of the Wen Family, committing many secretive acts on their behalf.
"Captain, these pieces of evidence appear to be quite reliable."
Another team member came closer, excitedly suggesting, "Why don’t we start with these few and launch a surprise attack?"
Jiang Chenghai’s lips curved up slightly:
"We could, however, the local police department is no longer trustworthy. We’ll need to gather more personnel. Xiaofeng, report to the higher-ups, we need more manpower."
"Yes!"
...
Five days later
Four Seas Commerce Association
"What are you doing, who are you people!"
At the entrance of the Commerce Association, the guards raised their weapons, aiming at the large crowd approaching menacingly.
Jiang Chenghai stepped forward and showed his badge:
"I’m Jiang Chenghai, a Level One Investigator of the Royal Judgement Court. The Four Seas Commerce Association is suspected of arms trafficking; we’ve been instructed by the higher authorities to investigate."
Royal Judgement Court
The guards were all Spiritualists and naturally had heard of the famous Judgement Court.
They exchanged panicked glances, and one of them said:
"I’ll report to our President now, please wait a moment."
"You can report, but first, make way."
Jiang Chenghai spoke firmly, "Obstructing law enforcement will be severely punished!"
With that, a powerful and overwhelming aura pressed down on them, instantly making them breathless. Their eyes filled with terror, and they instinctively stepped aside.
"Move in!"
Jiang Chenghai led his team into the Four Seas Commerce Association, while the investigators next to him operated joysticks, sending dozens of mechanical hummingbirds inside. Invisible waves extended in all directions, mapping out the layout of the Four Seas Commerce Association on the screen.
"Captain, there’s an underground warehouse here."
The deputy captain pointed at the screen and said.
Jiang Chenghai smirked slightly and said, "A Wei, get to work!"
"Yes!"
The burly investigator stomped heavily, and earth-colored Spiritual Energy delved underground. The concrete floor quickly cracked open, and the rebar and iron plates along the way were also shattered by the investigators.
Soon, the investigators reached the underground warehouse.
As they looked around, they saw mountains of wooden crates.
Upon opening them, they found that they were full of arms, including regular Laser Guns, Rocket Launchers, and Heavy Machine Guns. There were also high-end military weapons strictly prohibited from being circulated, such as Single Soldier Mechas, Rune Spears, and even Bloodline Potions.
"Four Seas Commerce Association."
Jiang Chenghai’s eyes flickered with a cold glint as he waved his hand: "Seal off the Four Seas Commerce Association, arrest everyone inside!"
"Yes!"
The Judgement Court team members moved swiftly, sealing off the site and preventing anyone from entering or leaving.
During this process, the President of the Four Seas Commerce Association attempted to resist with others, but under the violent suppression of the Judgement Court, all resistance was futile.
Soon, the Four Seas Commerce Association was completely defeated.
During the raid and interrogation by the Judgement Court, despite the President remaining tight-lipped, unwilling to divulge anything, the subordinates beneath him clearly weren’t as tough. They ended up spilling all the details they knew in one go.
Simultaneously, other teams from the Judgement Court successfully completed their missions.
The Blood Hand Mercenary Corps, the Odde Armed Escort Company, and even the most mysterious arm of the Wen Family, the Shadow Division, were all raided by the Judgement Court, capturing hundreds of Spiritualists alone.
The evidence found was shocking, enough to prove the guilt of the Wen Family father and son.
