It's another night.
Yan Miao planned to sneak into the deputy mayor's house to investigate the situation.
This deputy mayor is very cunning. Chief Shen tried to find fault with him through various connections, but they couldn't get any evidence against him. They also couldn't just go to his house with a search warrant.
Left with no other choice, Yan Miao decided to go alone to find out what was going on.
Let's see if we can find any clues that will be helpful to them.
As expected, Venom's new stronghold was abandoned once again. Their main force is probably hiding somewhere, plotting some heinous crime.
Due to the limitations of time and space, the Merit Mall was also unable to search for them, so she could only sit there anxiously. She might as well go out and find some useful information.
The deputy mayor's house is a three-story courtyard house, and there are armed police guarding the area from the entrance of the residential area all the way to the road leading to his house.
The entire residential area is the centralized residence of the city's political leaders, so even the guards at the gate are sentries.
Layer upon layer, the guards were extremely tight!
However, Yan Miao still managed to take advantage of the darkness and her nimble movements to perfectly avoid the sentries and climb into the deputy mayor's yard.
Using the same old method, he wrapped his body with vines and slowly crept into the second floor.
As luck would have it, the room she went up to was the deputy mayor's study.
Just a second before she was about to climb through the window into the house, Yan Miao noticed a flash of red light inside—
It's probably something like a surveillance camera!
She dodged to the side, calmly browsed the merit mall, and found the surveillance jammer.
It only requires three merit points!
What's there to hesitate about? Change it!
The moment the jammer was pressed, all signals inside the room were blocked.
The chilling red light suddenly went out!
The armed police on guard didn't notice this, thinking it was just another peaceful night.
They've gotten used to it. Although the entire neighborhood is heavily guarded, no one is so bored or looking for trouble that they'd come here to cause a ruckus.
Therefore, their work is considered relatively easy.
Day after day, year after year, my vigilance decreased considerably, to the point that I didn't even notice when someone opened the study window.
As soon as she climbed over the wall, Yan Miao was stunned by the scene before her eyes—
The sandalwood desk was covered with a whole table of experimental crystals!
The iridescent crystal nuclei shimmered and sparkled under the moonlight.
Those who don't know better might mistake it for a beautiful and expensive ornament, but little do they know, it's a deadly thing that can take a person's life!
It's hard to imagine that such dazzling and beautiful items could be taken from rotting, foul-smelling zombies, which are like viruses that people would avoid at all costs.
Now it's even been openly put on the table by the vice mayor of Beijing!
It's easy to imagine how audacious he was!
Is he not afraid of others knowing his secret, or is he just too confident in his own guards?
Behind the desk are rows of neat and clean solid wood bookshelves. All the books on the shelves are categorized, including political books and history books.
The entire wall of bookshelves was filled with books, each one looking brand new and not at all like it had been read.
These are the things that high-ranking officials like to put on the table.
Yan Miao touched every corner but found no mechanisms. She also searched all the cabinets in the study but found nothing.
They're quite cautious...
However, while you could say he was cautious, he casually placed the crystal core on the table; yet, you could also say he wasn't cautious, as she searched the entire study, even knocking on the floor and walls.
They didn't notice anything amiss.
They hid it quite well!
That makes sense, though, since no one in the book knows anything about experimental crystal nuclei.
Even if the cleaning lady saw it, she would just think it was some jewelry that the deputy mayor usually kept, and wouldn't think much of it.
But despite all his calculations, he overlooked the existence of someone like himself!
The deputy mayor was certainly unaware of the apocalypse; he only knew that Venomous Fang was incredibly powerful and could produce things beyond his comprehension.
It seems that Venomous Fang's relationship with him is not close enough, and he doesn't consider him one of his own.
There are other people with superpowers outside the organization, so Poison Fang should at least inform him and warn him to be careful.
Judging from the current situation, it's clear that neither the Fiery Fang nor the deputy mayor knew anything, and they still thought they were safe and sound, with a powerful figure helping them.
Just to be on the safe side, Yan Miao released hair-thin vines that roamed throughout the house, even exploring the cracks in the walls and the roof.
Still, nothing was found.
It's strange, don't corrupt officials in TV dramas always like to hide cash, gold, and valuable jewelry in walls or secret rooms?
At the very least, there should be an antique in the study!
This guy, apart from that expensive-looking desk, the whole house was incredibly simple and unpretentious, even the sofa was from a cheap, affordable brand.
He doesn't look like a corrupt official at all.
Could it be that I've misunderstood, and he has some unspeakable reason for cooperating with Venom?
The vines even checked the kitchen refrigerator, but there were no precious items like lobster, abalone, or bird's nest.
Inside were mostly common vegetables, and the frozen section also contained local specialties sent from the countryside.
Everything about the deputy mayor—food, clothing, and daily necessities—revealed that his pockets were empty.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like they're cooperating with Venom for profit.
After scouting the way back, and confirming that no one was in the living room, Yan Miao placed her hand on the doorknob, ready to turn it.
