The data in the report is alarming.
The total number of missing persons that can be counted has exceeded ten million, with nearly a thousand missing last year alone.
Last year, the shocking "human meat shop" incident occurred in the territory of the Meli Federation, with many cases taking place within its borders.
The loose federal government and relatively chaotic legal system in Meli greatly increase the likelihood of criminals committing crimes.
Moreover, the Meli Federation is one of the few major powers in the world that currently lacks authoritative restrictions on gambling and interspecies trade.
Some people are attempting to make up for the damage to the federal economy caused by natural disasters through disorderly business in these areas.
Behind this rampant darkness, there is capital and ambitious individuals fueling the flames.
The people of the Federation, however, were completely unaware of the darkness.
Hua Qingyun said in a heavy tone: "The information provided by Vice President Shen shows that the [God-Making Faction] has appeared in the Meli Federation more than once, but due to the attitude of the federal government, it is impossible to investigate in depth."
"But it is certain that when these batches of goods were transiting through the Meli Federation, some were diverted to Spymagor and some were diverted to the Federation mainland. The final destination is very likely the God-Making Faction."
Hua Changle's brow furrowed in dismay as he listened: "So, how's the investigation going on our side, in the Central Plains?"
"The investigation has confirmed that there are three main illegal industrial chains related to the human trafficking and smuggling cases uncovered in this case."
"They point to the Sun family in District 1, the She family in District 3, and District 7 of the Land of Chaos, respectively."
Hua Qingyun said, "Of these three families, there is currently no evidence that the Sun family directly handled illegal business; the She family has insufficient evidence; and the Seventh District is too chaotic, so the leader of the local criminal group has not yet been identified."
"The reason I detained the goods from Tsukishima is because Tsukishima is one of the three major bases for the trade of plant species. Among the previous illegal goods, two large batches came from Tsukishima."
"And this batch of goods that I intercepted is the first batch of plant species transactions handled by the She family since the Northern War."
Hua Changle naturally thought, "Is there a problem with the goods?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with the goods."
Hua Qingyun said, "The aftermath of the Northern Border War has not yet subsided, so even the Sun family and the She family would not dare to defy the wind and commit crimes."
Hua Changle guessed, "Could it be that there's a problem with the cargo's route and destination?"
Hua Qingyun nodded:
"Yes. This batch of goods, according to regulations, is the same as the other problematic batches; it is to be transited through the Meli Federation. And it is currently being held in District Seven."
Hua Changle pondered, her tone subtle:
"It seems that this batch of goods, which was detained despite having no problems, was a warning signal they were sending to the Meli Federation and Spymagor."
The goods themselves are not important; whether they can ultimately be shipped is the important signal.
Once the goods are shipped, it means the crisis in the Middle Kingdom has been alleviated, and crime can continue;
The inability to ship the goods indicates that the Central Plains will face severe retaliation, prompting them to take precautions.
"That's one of the reasons."
"What are you trying to do, brothers? The goods have been seized, and they are on high alert, ready to fight back. We have missed our best opportunity to make a move."
Hua Qingyun said, "If we strike when they are not prepared, we may create a breakthrough, but it will only alert them and make subsequent attacks extremely difficult."
"What the association needs to do is to take the most prudent approach and uproot and completely destroy this chain of evil on the land of China!"
At this point, Hua Changle had already figured out the whole incident.
A trafficking and smuggling ring, hidden behind the Sun family, the She family, and the Seventh District forces, supplies "goods" to the Meli Federation and the God-Making Faction, and uses it as a transit point to sell the remaining "goods" to the Bloodbath Market for profit.
The laws of the Middle Kingdom spread out like a vast net, covering the entire world, while darkness silently filled every crevice.
Hua Changle recalled that the "Chronicle of Natural Disasters" recorded:
In the early stages of establishing local governments during natural disasters, when order was not yet perfect, human nature was distorted and deformed under the oppression of disasters, giving rise to terrifying and bloody crimes.
At that time, there were countless crimes, and all kinds of evils were committed one after another, making the world a living hell.
Later, led by the Central Plains, the concept of "rule of law during disasters" was proposed, pointing out that we must first purify ourselves, otherwise we will destroy ourselves before natural disasters destroy human civilization.
Many regimes responded, but many others remained on the sidelines.
China took the lead in putting its ideals into practice, with the first priority being to combat inhumane crimes such as human trafficking.
At that time, a Ming Dynasty Interpol agent from China left the following sentence in "Chronicles of Natural Disasters":
“We don’t know when we can eradicate all evil, but we must never stop fighting crime.”
This statement reveals the attitude of the Central Plains.
And this attitude has remained unchanged to this day.
"Big brother, what's your plan?"
Hua Qingyun said, "Because this batch of exotic plants on Moon Island was collected by the local She family company and temporarily stored in District Seven."
Therefore, we want to first use this shipment to find a breakthrough in the most chaotic Zone 7, to confirm which link in the entire chain holds the decisive key evidence, and then make a breakthrough.”
Hua Changle reacted quickly and immediately understood:
"So today's negotiations with She Haoyun are just a delaying tactic. This batch of goods definitely cannot be released; we must wait until there is any movement from District Seven."
"That's right."
Hua Changle thought for a moment and asked, "Then what can I do?"
Hua Qingyun paused for a moment, his deep gaze falling on her face: "Are you still hung up on him?"
