Intelligence Department One Swarms Out

The agents and trainee inspectors of the Seventh Group of the Intelligence Department One may not know this yet.

Just as they were about to give their new boss a hard time, the second group controlled by the Li family in the same building received a call from Li Yunshou himself, instructing them to fully cooperate with Qing Chen's work during this period.

If there is a conflict between your job duties and Qing Chen's arrangements, you can prioritize handling the tasks assigned by Qing Chen.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqu understood the importance of the matter, so he met with Qing Chen immediately after Qing Chen's report.

Therefore, Qing Chen doesn't necessarily need to win over the masses. If his agents and trainee inspectors don't obey, there will naturally be others who do.

If you really want to get something done, you can bypass Group Seven.

He just didn't want to do that.

By this time, Qing Chen had a general understanding of what kind of place the Intelligence Department One was.

Its existence is a way for conglomerates to legitimately suppress their rivals.

Many members of Congress, when campaigning for votes, often say, "The Union belongs to all its citizens..."

But what the citizens like to say most is that the Federation is a federation of the Lee family, the Kei family, the Chen family, the Kamishiro family, and the Kashima family.

There is only one unified country on this vast land. Although Kamishiro and Kashima were outsiders hundreds of years ago, they also have federal citizenship.

Under that vast, sea-like starry sky, everyone seems to be equal, yet also different.

A scholar who taught at Qinghe University once said that democracy today has become the biggest joke within the federal government.

Most members of Congress need the support of corporations to be elected, but the corporations still maintain the president's position through checks and balances. Those who desperately want to run for president look like pitiful creatures in the long river of history.

Many people thought this scholar would be blacklisted by the corporation, but that wasn't the case.

But he never spoke out about this matter again. It was handled by the PCA (CIA). An agent came to the scholar's house, killed the cat, made some promises on behalf of the consortium, and then swaggered away.

As it turns out, scholars aren't always so principled.

But this also proves that the PCA (Federal Central Intelligence Agency) is not a simple intelligence agency, and the things it does are not all things that an intelligence agency should do.

They masquerade as officials, becoming tools in the hands of conglomerates to kill others.

Qing Chen returned to the third floor. The detectives were surprised that Qing Chen had not gone home after work, and they were also puzzled as to where the young inspector had just gone.

Qing Hua looked at Qing Chen: "Boss, it's getting late, why don't we continue looking at the database tomorrow?"

Qing Chen shook his head. "You guys go back, I'll take another look."

Qing Hua was somewhat surprised. He and the other agents exchanged glances and then left the building of Intelligence Department One.

What he didn't know was that, for them, making the newly appointed superior tediously browse through the database was a way of putting him in a tough spot.

However, for Qing Chen, this was an excellent opportunity to learn about the secrets of the Federation.

When he agreed to become a spy for the Qing family's shadow and report to the PCA CIA, wasn't it precisely to obtain more intelligence?

At this moment, an entire information database was open to him, which was something he couldn't have asked for.

Although the database that the PCA (CIA) possesses is not the true secret of the Federation, it is still important enough, something that ordinary Time Walker would never be able to access.

Most importantly, the PCA (CIA agency) has a very large network. City No. 10 is just the headquarters, and each agent is even connected to PCA branches in various parts of the country.

Therefore, the latest database even records the abduction of a branch of the Mechanical God Cult in City No. 10.

This intelligence is still fresh...

The third floor was completely empty. Outside Qing Chen's supervisory office, all the lights in the large office were off, except for his office, which was still lit.

Extremely lonely.

Qing Chen looked at the data, which showed that the PCA (CIA) had not yet found out the reason for the defection of an entire branch of the Mechanical God Cult. All they knew was that the believers in this branch no longer had faith and had begun to call each other family.

This incident appears to have been deliberately orchestrated, but the perpetrator has not yet been identified, nor is the meaning of "family members" as a reference.

The PCA division stated that new organizations may emerge, and it is necessary to further observe the reaction of the Mechanical God Cult to this matter.

Qing Chen then picked out another case that he was concerned about: the case of the assassination of the fourth president after he stepped down. The murderer was a B-Class expert named "Gao Liang". This person had served in the First Group Army of the Federation, was not affiliated with any faction, and was not recruited by any conglomerate.

Gao Liang's son has congenital heart disease and has been unable to find a matching heart due to his unusual blood type.

However, just before the assassination attempt, Gao Liang's son received a heart donation.

After the assassination, Gao Liang's body was found on the bank of a small river outside City No. 10, with most of it eaten by fish.

At this point, the matter seems to have truly become an unsolved mystery.

Qing Chen frowned. Was his search for Huan Yu's clues about going to end just like that?

He searched the internal database for keywords such as "Demon Stamp" and "Forbidden Item ACE-017" and found that the Demon Stamp had actually reappeared. 49 years ago, someone actually used it to write a love letter to a celebrity, which scared the celebrity so much that he almost left the entertainment industry.

Qing Chen thought to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this..."

If obsessive fans did this in the Outer World, it would probably scare a lot of people.

However, this celebrity seems to still be alive. Perhaps I could visit him and ask if he could guess who the holder of the Demon Stamp is?

Immediately afterwards, Qing Chen saw that the PCA's Intelligence Department One had even listed the pursuit of fugitive Kamishiro Kono as one of the cases.

According to the case file, the last time Kamishiro Kono appeared in the public eye was in City No. 19 in the north, after which she disappeared without a trace. It seems that someone helped her escape, and it is suspected that the Outer World Time Walker organization was behind Jiuzhou.

Finally, Qing Chen looked at the cases that the detectives were investigating. The supplementary database was huge, and there were even some surveillance videos related to the suspects. Qing Chen watched them all at four times the speed.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the office.

Qing Chen looked up. He knew that no one in the Intelligence Department One would want to assassinate him, and even if they did, they wouldn't do it here.

Therefore, he wasn't worried about anything.

The next second, Qing Zhun, a man in his early thirties, arrived at the office door and said with a smile, "Inspector, you're still here looking at the database, huh? Actually, you don't need to. Just give Qing Hua orders in Mr. Shadow's name, and they wouldn't dare disobey. Why bother with all this trouble?"

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "You might not believe it, but I'm very interested in past case files."

He looked at Qing Zhun, only to find that the other man was carrying two plastic bags.

Qing Zhun took out several disposable biodegradable lunch boxes from inside. "I thought you might be staying here all night, so I went to buy some late-night snacks."

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, "Thank you."

The disposable lunchbox is light yellow and contains several delicate side dishes.

These lunch boxes are made from sugarcane residue. After extracting sugar, the factory crushes and settles the sugarcane residue, then presses it into boxes.

After you finish eating, you only need to bury it underground for a period of time, and it will decompose into soil.

It must be said that the Inner World requires more attention to environmental protection than one might imagine.

Qing Zhun thought for a moment and asked, "Has Mr. Shadow mentioned me to you?"

Qing Chen shook his head. "No."

"It's good that you mentioned it. I'm someone you can trust..." Qing Zhun paused for a moment, "Oh, is that so?"

He had hoped to use Yingzi's words to quickly get closer to each other, but he didn't expect Qing Chen to deny it at all. It seemed that he planned to observe slowly on his own.

Qing Chen lowered his head to eat, but Qing Zhun didn't give up and continued, "By the way, why didn't you go to a prestigious place like the Intelligence Department Three, but instead came to the Intelligence Department One?"

Qing Chen glanced at him. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You may have a good relationship with Shadow, but that's not something you can ask about casually."

Qing Zhun wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Today, Qing Yi, Qing Shi, Qing Yuan, Qing Wu, Qing Wen, and Qing Xing have all joined the Intelligence Department Three. I do know a bit about these Shadow Candidate. For example, Qing Shi's father is a powerful figure under the head of the family, in charge of energy projects. He seems to have decided to personally help his daughter win the Shadow Struggle. Qing Xing is very lucky. Since he was 7 years old, he has found money every day when he goes out. He can always do what he wants to do, and people he hates always stay away from him."

"You can find money every day?" Qing Chen looked up.

"That's right," Qing Zhun laughed, "But finding money is a small matter; there are other things to do."

"He was always second in the class at Qingshi Academy. Qing Wen's grades were always better than his. Qing Xing, when he was 12 years old, his father promised him a sniper rifle as a reward if he got first place. But... Qing Wen happened to be sick that time and missed the exam."

Qing Chen fell into deep thought.

Qing Zhun continued, "There are many, many similar stories. For example, he liked a girl at Qinghe University, but she already had someone she liked. As you know, the students at Qinghe University come from all over the Federation and go home for holidays. So, his rival happened to be in a car accident on his way home. The dashcam footage showed that while he was driving, a goat ran out from the side of the road, and he made a mistake and swerved, causing the car to overturn."

"He's not the only one who died because of Qing Xing 'lucky aura.' At Qinghe University, a professor gave him a failing grade and made him repeat a year. On his way home, two club members got into a fight and started wielding knives. He accidentally slashed a young man who was watching the commotion. The young man stumbled and broke a glass window. The shards of glass fell and cut the professor's neck."

Qing Chen frowned more and more as he listened.

Qing Zhun asked with a smile, "Don't you find it amazing that there is such a lucky person in this world? So everyone else thinks that Qing Wen can become the shadow, but I think Qing Wen can't compete with this person's luck. After all, Qing Wen was already defeated by luck once when he was 12 years old."

Qing Chen looked at Qing Zhun.

Perhaps the other party really is Mr. Shadow's confidant, otherwise why would the other party suddenly talk to me about the Shadow Struggle?

Of course, it could also be a test; Qing Zhun might suspect that he is also one of the Shadow Candidate.

Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun, but said nothing.

Qing Zhun left.

Qing Chen did not leave. He sat in his office, carefully studying the documents, relying entirely on his brain to memorize all the federal secrets.

Qing Hua thought it would take him several months to read, but in fact Qing Chen only took 9 hours to read it all.

After reading all this, Qing Chen also discovered that the PCA (CIA agency) had the authority to access federal household registration information. So he memorized all 931 search results for familiar names such as "He Xiaoxiao".

During this time, he didn't feel bored at all; on the contrary, he felt a surge of excitement.

Early in the morning, the agents arrived at the office one after another.

When they found Qing Chen still there, and that he seemed to have not slept all night, they were all inexplicably surprised.

I never expected this new boss to be so dedicated!

Qing Hua arrived, and he silently looked through the window at Qing Chen in the office.

One of the agents remarked, "This new boss is ruthless. Could he be holding back a grudge, preparing to punish us?"

Another detective said, "Won't he discover that many of the case files we've written have omissions? After all, sometimes we arrest people secretly even when we lack evidence."

The reason why the Intelligence Department One was called the "Living Yama" was precisely because they acted ruthlessly and without restraint.

This is a weapon of the conglomerate; naturally, it needs to be sharp to be valued by the conglomerate.

The detectives looked at Qing Hua: "Deputy Captain, what's your opinion on this?"

Qing Hua glanced at everyone. "What I feared most was that he couldn't do anything to us, and since he wasn't willing to seriously review the case files, he would eventually use the name of 'Mr. Shadow' to intimidate us. Now, regardless of whether he's actually reviewing the case files or not, at least he's not an idiot. Everyone, we still have to work for the Qing family after all. The other party has put on a humble posture, so this show of force can probably end now."

"Is that all?"

Qing Hua glanced at them. "That database is so vast that even an ordinary person might not be able to finish reading it in months. You don't really think this new boss will have the patience to do so, do you? He's made his stance clear; you need to back down gracefully, understand? Otherwise, do you think he can't just deal with us directly?"

At this moment, Qing Zhun walked in from outside, carrying a breakfast in his hand. He swaggered into Qing Chen's office and placed the breakfast on the table.

But Qing Chen didn't eat. Instead, he walked out of his office and calmly asked, "Who is Yang Xuyang?"

An agent hesitated for a moment before standing up. "Inspector, I am Yang Xuyang."

Qing Chen calmly said, "I've looked at the military leak case you have. The evidence against the defense official who was secretly arrested is insufficient, right? Go check the area around No. 36 Xingye Street in the Third District. This official is clearly very wealthy, but he insists on walking home. The surveillance footage recording his whereabouts shows that he passes by No. 36 every day, and nine times out of ten he looks up at the window on the upper right. There might be some kind of signal between spies there. Arrest the owner of the house he was looking at and send him to the secret prison for a surprise interrogation. Li Li and Wang Bo, you two keep an eye on the movements of Kamishiro and Kajima upstairs. If there is any unusual activity, tell me. Prohibit them from contacting the suspect in the secret prison."

The large office was silent, and everyone stared blankly at Qing Chen.

Qing Chen said, "Didn't you hear me?"

"Awooo!" Yang Xuyang quickly stood up and ran outside.

Qing Chen continued, "Who is Xu Wen?"

An agent silently stood up.

Qing Chen said, "Go to a kilometer away and bring back Zhou Chenyi from the Intelligence Department Six Division for investigation. His statements in the 6.12 smuggling case are contradictory. I suspect he is one of the people involved. Bring him back for a surprise interrogation. I need to know what the smuggled goods that haven't been found yet are."

Qing Hua was stunned. The Intelligence Department Six was Kamishiro's territory. This new boss actually launched an attack on Kamishiro's faction on his second day in office?!

He reminded him, "Inspector, Intelligence Department Six is Jindai..."

Qing Chen looked at Qing Hua: "Can't we bring back the people from the Age of Gods?"

Qing Hua lowered her head. "Yes."

After saying that, he looked down and opened his computer to check the case file of the 6.12 smuggling case. Sure enough, Zhou Chenyi's statement was contradictory.

Qing Hua immediately got up, summoned six agents, and personally went to the Intelligence Department Six to arrest the person.

After Qing Hua left, Qing Chen called on more than ten people to bring back 37 suspects for surprise interrogation.

In just over ten minutes, Qing Zhun watched helplessly as the once bustling office fell silent again.

Qing Chen looked at Qing Zhun: "Go help Qing Hua. I'm worried there might be a conflict over there."

Qing Zhun smiled and said, "If Intelligence Department One wants to investigate Intelligence Department Six, as long as there's solid evidence, no one there will dare to cause trouble. Intelligence Department One's nickname of 'Living Yama' isn't for nothing. In fact, one-third of the cases handled by Intelligence Department One involve people from other intelligence divisions. That's how it is to eliminate dissidents."

Qing Zhun thought to himself, "Now Qing Hua and his people should be convinced."

At this very moment, Qing Hua was speeding towards the Intelligence Department Six in his vehicle.

One of the detectives driving hesitated for a long time before suddenly saying, "Deputy Captain, how many case files do you think this new boss looked through in one night?"

Qing Hua sighed, "Even if someone told me now that he had already read through all the case files, I wouldn't be surprised. Did you notice that when he was assigning tasks, he assigned 17 in a row without looking at any materials in between? He clearly pointed out who the detective in charge of the case was and clearly stated what the suspicious points of the case were. I have to hold a script when I give a five-minute speech, but he said so much information in one breath without changing his expression at all."

Qing Hua continued, "And I just confirmed that he wasn't deliberately ordering us around and making us run around blindly. Take that military leak case for example. I watched six surveillance videos from Xingye Street in a row, and that official did indeed glance at the upper right corner every time he passed by."

Everyone in the car fell silent.

Qing Hua said, "This new boss is probably going to throw the PCA (CIA) into a frenzy. Get ready to work overtime; we're likely to be busy for a long time."

Five thousand words in the chapter, ten thousand words have been updated today, and interest is still being paid.
