"But why let us discover this clue?" Huanbo doubted the authenticity of the clue. "There is absolutely no need for these two people to be exposed. Even if we were to send someone to destroy the evidence we have now, sending these two would be too hasty!"
Team Leader Hu speculated, "What if there's an internal conflict among them?"
Huanbo's mind raced: "You mean, the reason they entered the Central Plains to commit crimes and then hastily ended things was because there was a disagreement among the people behind it, and some of them were keeping it from most of the others? Then now, aren't we being led astray by another group of people? Aren't we being used as pawns?"
Fu Heqing said, "If that's the case, how can those who use others to do the dirty work be sure their own interests won't be affected?"
Huanbo boldly speculated: "What if the main force of that wave wasn't on Moon Island?"
“That certainly makes more sense,” said the forensic doctor, Jiang.
Team Leader Hu said, "If we have to eliminate this group, we also have to deal with another group. In any case, Moon Island must be investigated. But right now, we still need to contact Lao Liu and the others to confirm the situation on Moon Island."
At this moment, Huanbo received a message from Ziguiti, and he turned around and went out to answer it.
"Any news?"
The cuckoo cried, "They must have been placed under surveillance by the Ramaha faction on Moon Island. Ramaha is one of the major criminal organizations on Moon Island, and their leader is named Ramaha. The Lower Bay where Changfeng and the others hid yesterday is Ramaha's territory."
I found out that a house in Xiawan Village was sealed off starting yesterday afternoon, presumably because Changfeng and his group were discovered. They've been taken away, but the fact that they were able to quickly pinpoint their location and take them away means they knew Changfeng and his group's identities and intentions. My people have narrowed it down to a few locations, but we're not sure exactly where they'll end up yet.
Huanbo was completely baffled: "What does this Lamaha have to do with the Moon Island government and the Shunli Maritime Trade?"
"In the information I had previously, there was only a record of Lamaha colluding with the government and cooperating with Shunli Maritime Trade. But now that Lamaha is willing to take the lead for them, I had someone investigate more carefully and found that although Lamaha does not have much connection with the two in Moon Island, Lamaha's biggest source of 'goods' is Speymagau."
Huanbo understood: "'Goods' need to enter Tsukishima from Speymago. Although the Tsukishima government is incompetent, it has been keeping an eye on all parties. It is the Tsukishima government that is opening the door for Ramaha. If it goes smoothly, it will help Ramaha transport the 'goods'."
Zigui Ti said with a solemn expression: "Given Changfeng's and the others' status, the people of Lamaha wouldn't dare to harm them, but I'm worried that they might use other means to torture them."
Huanbo's expression changed drastically: "Hot!"
What is Tsukishima's most common method of torturing and controlling people? Drugs.
Especially for those with superpowers, if Changfeng and others were to get even a little bit of their power, the backlash from their superior cultivation would be even more deadly.
Huanbo said, "We must determine their location as soon as possible and move them to a safe place. However, cross-border rescue is extremely restrictive for both the region and us. Infiltrating to rescue them could easily give others ammunition against us, while following the formal procedures would be too time-consuming and could easily alert the enemy. What should we do?"
Zigui pondered for a moment and said, "Although the Tsukishima government has a close relationship with Ramaha, since they are willing to push Ramaha to the front lines this time, then if they themselves are in trouble, they will definitely push Ramaha out."
"You mean, through the Tsukishima government? How do we get them to help us?"
After Huanbo told Captain Hu the news, Captain Hu proposed an idea similar to that of the cuckoo's cry.
"The fact that the Tsukishima government is providing cover for the mutants indicates that the people behind the mutants can control the Tsukishima government to some extent. If the Tsukishima government finds itself a victim of infighting among those behind the scenes, it will naturally seek other ways to survive."
At that moment, someone ran over to tell them that the regional headquarters had issued new instructions after learning about the Heat and the missing agents.
Team Leader Hu opened the file, glanced at it, and smiled.
...
Moon Island Old Bengbu.
An old, interconnected three-story building stands at the entrance of the market.
With its exquisitely decorated exterior and sturdy construction, it is neither eye-catching nor shabby in the old city center of Bengbu; it is quite ordinary.
Above the entrance to the building is an advertising banner with text in the local language, which translates to "small hotel".
On the second floor of the hotel, a rough hand knocked on the door. The door opened a crack, and the hand handed over a straw basket. Dark brown grime clung to the fingernails of the hand. The owner of the hand spoke in a rough voice, and after handing it over, uttered a phrase in the local dialect.
Changfeng, who opened the door, couldn't understand the language, and his communicator was jammed and unusable, but he knew the general meaning was that they were to eat.
Then, the doors to the three neighboring houses were also opened, and the same food was served.
Changfeng, Deputy Captain Liu, Yan Zhongqing, and the others exchanged glances and then closed the door.
Changfeng brought the food back and placed it aside without touching it.
On the table was a meal with solidified oil, and under the table, near the corner, lay a dead rat.
There was no poison in the food, but there was a poison more harmful than poison itself. The rats weren't poisoned to death; rather, they died from their internal organs bursting due to their extreme excitement caused by supernatural abilities.
The food is cooked over a hot fire.
Changfeng sat by the window, his gaze deep.
Early yesterday morning, they disguised themselves as illegal immigrants and successfully entered Xiawan Village. In the morning, he, Yan Zhongqing, and another detective went to the pier to look for the Shunli Company's ship. They pretended to be looking for work at the pier, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but they returned empty-handed without finding the ship.
They went out to look for it again in the afternoon but couldn't find it. The group felt that something might be wrong. When they came back to discuss it in more detail, they found that a group of people had suddenly checked into the small hotel. Judging from the owner's reaction, they were people from the local power structure.
