"The Starvation Ghost Incident is very likely happening again?"
Headquarters.
Cao Yanhua's expression changed at once upon receiving the news, because it had not come from some city official, but from Yang Jian, the Enforcement Captain of Dachang City.
Yang Jian had personally imprisoned the Starvation Ghost before, and given his current status and standing, his words carried absolute weight. There was no way he would have Liu Xiaoyu send out such a message for no reason.
"Immediately verify the situations of Liu San and Wang Chaling. Wait, add Zhou Deng as well." Cao Yanhua gritted his teeth and gave the order.
When the Starvation Ghost had been stolen, Headquarters had not simply done nothing. They had been secretly investigating for a long time.
Although they had not found the true culprit, Headquarters' think tank unanimously believed that whoever stole the Starvation Ghost had to be the person in charge of a certain city, and was very likely one of the twelve captains now. After all the screenings and investigations, Headquarters had finally narrowed the suspect list down to two people.
Liu San and Wang Chaling.
Zhou Deng was less suspicious, but his style of doing things made people unable to help suspecting him.
Originally, the most suspicious person had not been any of them, but Yang Jian. After the incident, through various analyses, Cao Yanhua had been almost ninety percent certain that Yang Jian was the one who stole the Starvation Ghost. Yang Jian had the motive and the ability, and most importantly, the coffin nail had reappeared in his possession afterward.
However, as one incident followed another and Headquarters continued its investigation, Yang Jian's greatest suspicion was cleared.
In the end, Headquarters could only shift its attention elsewhere.
Thus, after the investigation, only Liu San and Wang Chaling
