Like every night in the past, Xu Zili was still busy at his desk even until late at night. He had been accustomed to this work rhythm since he took the law school entrance exam.
Over the past period of time, under his deliberate manipulation, people's attention has shifted from the stock market crash to the traders behind the crash and to those institutions that made a fortune in the Internet bubble. In a word, investors need an explanation, so give them one.
The special investigation team held press conferences every day, releasing a large amount of information. One company after another was investigated, and even some large financial groups were pointed at. Everything was developing just as Xu Zili had expected.
"Hey, Wells Fargo Investments..."
Suddenly, a piece of information in the report caught Xu Zili's attention. What caught his attention was not only the investment company's bearish view on the market before the stock market crash, nor the amazing returns, but... the company's holders.
“It’s you!”
Staring at the young man in the photo, Xu Zili suddenly had a conflicted urge to laugh. This was what it meant to search high and low for something and yet still find it without any effort.
"I've been searching for it for so long but still couldn't find it. I didn't expect it to be hidden in a place like this..."
After sighing, Xu Zili said again.
"It's really worthy of being called the Investigation Bureau!"
Leaning back on the sofa, Xu Zili raised the corners of his lips and talked to himself.
"I've been curious for so many years, where did you get your secret funds from? After all this time, this is all..."
Now, in Xu Zili's mind, all the clues were connected into one line - the Investigation Bureau discovered in advance through their intelligence investigation that a stock market crash might happen, and then they activated a secret account, sent an agent from New York to activate the account, and then went to Mexico to manipulate the matter, and finally got a generous reward.
"But why does the Bureau of Investigation want to investigate that person as well?"
"It just makes things more obvious!"
Xu Zili sneered.
"It's just to prevent the truth from being exposed in the future, and to make people believe that they know nothing about it. Are these Jinyiwei spies insulting the intelligence of the world?"
After that, he picked up the photo and said to himself,
"I originally thought you were just a nobody, but I didn't expect you to be the key to everything!"
Just here, Li Zhijian walked in.
"President, I just received a call from Si Xinde. They found Zhu..."
Before he could finish, Xu Zili laughed.
"I found him, too,"
After that, he pushed the photos and information forward and said.
"Look, that guy is hiding here!"
"It's him!"
Li Zhijian looked at the photo and the information on it, and then said.
"Actually, Wells Fargo Investment...Investigation Bureau, President, this, this...this is good news!"
At this time, Li Zhijian's tone was even a little excited.
"President, we couldn't find any evidence against the Investigation Bureau before. Now that we have this evidence, we can point the finger at the Bureau and force it to come out of the shadows through public opinion. In this way, President, we are equivalent to, equivalent to..."
When the words came to his lips, Li Zhijian still couldn't say them. After all, that sentence was really outrageous!
Cut off the royal arm!
How can such words be said so easily?
"The Investigation Bureau is the loyal dog of the royal family, and it is also the biggest obstacle to our great cause. It is not clear whether this incident can overturn the Investigation Bureau and pull them out of the shadows and into the sun, but what is certain is that as long as we exert our strength, we will definitely make them temporarily unable to pay attention to us..."
After thinking for a while, Xu Zili stared at the photo on the table and said.
"I originally thought that killing this guy would draw attention to the Bureau of Investigation. Now it seems that this guy might be our most powerful assistant in bringing down the Bureau of Investigation."
"But, President, will he help us?"
Li Zhijian's tone was full of doubt. After all, even though the Investigation Bureau had been staying in the shadows for many years, its reputation for loyalty had long been known throughout the world.
It’s difficult to make them turn against us!
Even if they were people who infiltrated the Investigation Bureau, it was only by chance that they were able to plant some secret lines. Now, it is simply wishful thinking to try to incite them to turn against them.
"Of course he won't help us, but what if he helps himself?"
A cold look flashed across Xu Zili's eyes.
"You say, the Investigation Bureau has done such a big thing, aren't they afraid of being exposed?"
"President?"
"In fact, I have been wondering over the years why the Bureau of Investigation has been able to live in the shadows for hundreds of years. Outsiders know very little about the Bureau of Investigation. If it weren't for some movies, and if the Bureau agents were not characters that often appear in movies, I'm afraid the outside world would not even know the existence of the Bureau of Investigation."
Indeed, compared to the Imperial Security Bureau, the Bureau of Investigation is too mysterious. It is not just covered with a veil of mystery, but is completely hidden in the shadows. The Bureau of Investigation, even though there are movies and literary works to promote its achievements, is still an institution unknown to outsiders.
As the president of the Advisory Council, Xu Zili can enter and exit the Imperial Security Bureau freely, can drink and chat with the director, and can place some people in the Imperial Security Bureau, but the Investigation Bureau... he can't even enter the door.
Not to mention him, even the Prime Minister of the Empire could not enter that door.
That door is always open to only one person - the emperor!
This is the Imperial Bureau of Investigation.
This is an extremely secretive department. Even its budget report is always just a few hundred words. It simply lists the amount of funds needed. The outside world does not even have the right to question other matters.
You know, the most powerful weapon of the Council of State is its supervision of the budget, but it can never supervise the Bureau of Investigation because this agency enjoys privileges that no other department has.
And now, the opportunity has come!
When the opportunity comes, seize it.
"But after all these years, why have the secrets of the Bureau never been known to the outside world? Is it the loyalty of the Bureau agents?"
Xu Zili asked back.
"Maybe, but I believe that human nature is selfish. The Bureau must have done similar things over the years. The reason they were able to keep it secret is not because the people who carried out the mission were so loyal, but because..."
After saying that, Xu Zili pointed his finger at the information and the text below the photo.
"Look, his background is so clean, so clean that no one can do anything about it. Moreover, he is entrusted with such a mission at such a young age. This person is a discarded pawn from the very beginning! The Investigation Bureau will definitely deal with him! Because only the dead can keep secrets!"
