168. Caught the traitor! A terrifying blow! 7000 words
In the past two days, as news of Fang Ze's investigation into various congressmen came to light, Fang Ze's intelligence and analysis of related capabilities have been placed on the desks of all congressmen early on.
Although there is no particularly detailed content due to the special nature of Fang Ze's career, just looking at Fang Ze's public information and political achievements in the past few months, the House of Representatives discovered a lot of interesting things.
The most interesting thing here is that Fang Ze captured a group of demigod believers lurking among the municipal committee members in Emerald City. In the past two days, Fang Ze took action again and arrested four council members who were also demigod believers.
The arrest in Emerald City did not attract the attention of various forces in the state at first because Fang Ze's arrest and interrogation were all behind closed doors. No one knew how he did it. Many
People speculate that it may be based on "hard power in interrogation," that is, simple words or interrogation techniques.
However, the arrest of congressmen this time was different. Dozens of congressmen had personal contact with Fang Ze. As soon as everyone communicated with each other, they found that Fang Ze did not use any words or interrogation techniques at all.
In this case, things get interesting: If not for using words and interrogation techniques, how did Fang Ze find these four traitors among dozens of congressmen?
The promise was immediately obvious: extraordinary power.
Fang Ze must have the ability or treasure to break through the protection of demigods, so that he can find the traitor without interrogation!
This is the protection of demigods! It is one of the foundations for the natural superiority of demigods and nobles outside the territory. But now it has been broken through by Fang Ze! There are too many crazy meanings in this! So these two days, the state capital,
Even the entire eastern jurisdiction is really under threat.
Many members of Congress, Awakening families, forces, and nobles are paying attention to Fang Ze, trying to figure out how Fang Ze did it. Can he copy it, and can he use it for his own purposes?
Therefore, today, apart from taking advantage of other legislators, these state legislators who have gone through a round of testing are most concerned about Fang Ze.
As a result, who knew that Fang Ze would not investigate today? Instead, he arranged for a shadow warrior to investigate?
Many congressmen couldn't help but start to think deeply: Could this be a smoke bomb? Could it be that Fang Ze sensed a threat and therefore spread suspicion?
Along with this conjecture, there is another possibility: is the special ability that can penetrate the protection of demigods really the ability of that special shadow warrior?
After all, in addition to Fang Ze who can rely on his own abilities and the effect of his Noble Phantasm to investigate the congressmen he comes into contact with, the shadow warrior can also lurk in Fang Ze's shadow and use his abilities to investigate those congressmen. This seems to perfectly explain the events of the past few days.
Condition.
Thinking this, the congressmen who were particularly concerned about this matter couldn't help but exchange glances.
It's a pity that none of them know which guess is true, let alone others.
Therefore, in the end, they could only see one result from each other's eyes: No matter what, let's take a look at today's situation. Let's see if the shadow warrior can really find the traitor.
At the same time, when the congressmen had different ideas, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, and Xiaopang walked back from the outside alone.
Seeing that Representative Qiu did not come back, many members looked at each other again: they did not think that the first candidate for investigation had won the lottery. Instead, they speculated that Representative Qiu might have been taken to another room in order to avoid the leakage of the investigation content.
,
However, in this case, the MPs will not be able to confirm who has the problem and who has not come back.
While these congressmen were thinking this, Xiaopang looked around the conference room, found Fang Ze's position, and walked over quickly.
When he came to Fang Ze's side, he bent down and whispered, "Sir, are you done? The first congressman has finished and went to the lounge."
Hearing Xiaopang's words, Fang Ze closed his pocket watch and nodded, "Okay. I'll go to the lounge now."
After saying that, he looked at the list in his hand, stood up, turned to the other congressmen and said, "The next one is Councilor Chen."
Hearing his call, a female congresswoman in the middle of the conference room stood up from her seat.
Fang Ze and Xiaopang took her to the reception room. After arriving at the door of the reception room, Fang Ze motioned to Councilor Chen to stop, and then after he told Xiaopang a few words, he walked towards the next room.
In his original plan, he and Xiaopang would divide the work and cooperate: one would call the congressmen to come for investigation, and the other would accompany the congressmen after the investigation in the lounge.
It's just that he just wanted to see the hostility of the MPs towards him, so he asked Xiaopang to help him with the task. Now that he has seen the hostility, of course he has to continue working.
With this thought in mind, Fang Ze stepped to the next room.
When we arrived at the next room, there was a lounge that could accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, there was already a person standing in the lounge, and it turned out to be Councilor Qiu who had just been invited to investigate.
Seeing Congressman Qiu, Fang Ze smiled at him, and then said, "Congratulations to Congressman Qiu for passing the review. You can take a short break and wait until other members of Congress finish their investigation before leaving."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Qiu's eyes lingered on Fang Ze for a moment, and then nodded.
He sat casually on a chair, took out the communicator, and opened it to check. He originally wanted to see if anyone was looking for him, but when he turned on the communicator, he found that there was no signal. Obviously, this was the same.
This is a measure taken to prevent leakage of investigation contents.
However, after recalling the investigation process just now, Councilor Qiu's eyes were full of doubts.
Because he found that there was nothing worthy of confidentiality in the entire investigation process: he simply asked about his work situation, his contacts with demigods, and his family situation.
Among them, the female director asked more questions, and occasionally the shadow warrior would follow up and ask. But there were no sensitive questions.
Is there anything in this that deserves to be kept secret?
While thinking this, Councilor Qiu glanced at Fang Ze in confusion. At this time, Fang Ze ignored him. He kept opening and closing the pocket watch in his hand, but he was recalling just now in his mind.
Picture seen in the conference room.
Fang Ze actually knew that he was very unpopular with the congressmen, but he really didn't expect to be so unpopular: when he opened his pocket watch, the dial of his pocket watch was filled with dense red light spots, with only a few sporadic ones.
There are green light spots dotted among them. If you don't pay attention, you can't even distinguish them.
This means that most of the 62 members in the conference room (excluding the female director, 59 members + 3 executive members) are hostile to Fang Ze.
‘What the fuck! I’m a good person!’, Fang Ze cursed silently in his heart, and then recalled the goal he had set when he came to the state capital: to be kind to others and leave a good impression on each member of Congress.
Well...the mission goal is completed -95%. If you work harder, you can achieve the sub-goal...
With this in mind, Fang Ze opened his pocket watch again and took a look at Congressman Qiu's attitude towards him: Congressman Qiu was the first person to be investigated. He was not in the conference room when Fang Ze checked his pocket watch, so he could not see him.
Because this room has been specially arranged and isolated from the outside world, extraordinary items can only affect this room. Therefore, a solitary light spot suddenly appeared on the dial: green.
"Huh?", Fang Ze was stunned for a moment. The progress of his sub-goal has actually decreased a little?
Thinking like this, Fang Ze silently wrote down Councilor Qiu's name: The reason why he came to the lounge today was actually to judge the council members' attitude towards him.
By electing congressmen who are neutral or friendly to him and then winning over them, he can open up the situation in the state capital faster and avoid being isolated and helpless.
And now the first person who can win over and get close has appeared...
........
At the same time, while Fang Ze was looking for someone to win over among the members, in the reception room, the female director Lan Bing and the black shadow were investigating the members one by one.
One, two, three....
Before they knew it, the two of them had investigated twenty congressmen.
However, it was precisely because of investigating so many congressmen that Lan Bing became more and more confused. Although she never believed that Heiying had that special ability to spy on private life from the beginning,... Heiying could not even pretend to be a person.
Isn’t it too weird to not pretend?
After the congressmen arrived, Heiying almost didn't speak the whole time and just stayed there silently. If Lan Bing hadn't opened his mouth to ask a few questions, every congressman would probably have been in a long silence.
Lan Bing felt: With such a move, the congressmen are not fools. They will probably soon suspect that the black shadow does not have that special ability. The special ability still belongs to Fang Ze.
In this way, he can't help Fang Ze as a shield?
Thinking of this, Lan Bing was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly: Huh? Even he felt that something was wrong about this matter, so would other congressmen think so too? Would they also suspect that the shadow soldier was not a knife blocker?
Thinking like this, Lan Bing couldn't help but think counter-intuitively: the person who was supposed to block the knife was protected, but Fang Ze, the first suspect, was thrown out to block the knife. What is true is false, and what is true is false.
The truth and fiction make it impossible to tell the difference between truth and fiction. This is more feasible than simply using an individual as a shield.
Thinking this way, Lan Bing couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but she also felt that there was only one flaw in this plan: that was... Heiying must know the identity of the fifth traitor in advance and find it on the spot.
Otherwise, when the congressman discovers that Heiying did not find the traitor after a round of investigation, and did not catch the traitor until Fang Ze appeared, then everything will be in vain.
Lan Bing did not have this worry without reason: there are 25 out-of-state congressmen in total, and 20 of them have been investigated so far, and Black Shadow has not found any abnormalities. There are only five congressmen left who have not been inspected.
Is the traitor really inside? Is the chance a bit too small?
At the same time, two groups of congressmen in the conference room and the lounge also discovered this.
Perhaps because they were no longer suspected, they felt a lot more relaxed and had more time to analyze the matter.
The congressman in the conference room said, "20 congressmen have gone out now, and the investigation is not over. Things are getting interesting. Do you think the traitor is among the five remaining congressmen, or... the shadow warrior?
Can’t you find the traitor at all?”
The congressman in the lounge said, "We have all passed the investigation. There are 20 people here, which means there are only five congressmen left. This is interesting..."
This situation also attracted the attention of the three executive councilors. They came over for a patrol midway and wanted to ask about the situation. However, because the female director and the shadow soldiers said nothing, they did not ask in the end.
Just like that, the 21st Member, the 22nd Member, the 23rd Member, the 24th Member... the last four of the five members entered the reception room one after another and were investigated. But there was nothing unusual about them.
.
When it was the turn of the 25th congressman, both the congressmen in the conference room and the congressmen in the lounge spontaneously walked out and watched him walk into the reception room.
At this time, the congressman's face turned pale and his hands were clenched tightly.
He entered the drawing room.
The sapphire blue eyes of the female director, Lan Bing, fell on him and she said expressionlessly, "Congressman Hou, please sit down."
The candidate sat down with a gloomy face, his mouth pursed, and his body tense.
Lan Bing glanced at Heiying sitting next to her. Seeing that Heiying had nothing to ask, she slowly said, "How many years has Councilor Hou worked in Tianmai City?"
After hearing Lan Bing's words, Councilor Hou said slowly, "Thirteen years."
Lan Bing nodded and said calmly, "Does it coincide with the time of the Plantagenet incident?"
After hearing Lan Bing's suspicion of being a leader, Councilor Hou's face became even more gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "I think I am worthy of the federation and the state of Cedar! Every promotion I received was due to my hard work and achievements.
, without any help from the power of demigods!"
"Although I have many shortcomings and my public reputation is average. But you can question my morality and my character, but you can't question my ability and my loyalty!"
Hearing Councilor Hou's words, Lan Bing didn't say anything. In more than 20 years of working in the Security Bureau, she has seen many people who still spoke righteously when being tried, and she has also seen people use poison on themselves and their family members.
People who swear an oath. However, it turns out that these are useless. There is no retribution in this world, or people who can do certain things are not afraid of retribution!
Therefore, Lan Bing now only looks at the results of ability and evidence.
Listening to Councilor Hou's words, Lan Bing's expression did not change at all. She glanced at Councilor Hou expressionlessly, and then continued to ask, "I heard that Councilor Huang and Councilor Xu visited Tianmai City not long ago?"
Upon hearing this topic, Councilor Hou's cheeks twitched and he nodded.
Lan Bing asked calmly, "Why are they going to Tianmai City?"
Councilor Hou opened his mouth, intending to hide it, but when he saw Lan Bing's cold eyes, he still made two unpleasant sounds from his throat, "Not long ago, a small one with only a dozen people
The humanoid family fled from Liudong State to Tianmai City."
"They have the bloodline of white jade spiders in the spiritual world. They have long and moonlike faces, slender figures, and enchanting figures. Their skin is as white as jade, and they can emit a soft and faint fluorescence at night."
"Huang Yuan and the others classified that family... as a criminal family that was absconding, and then sent people to arrest them. They humiliated and humiliated them for a day and a night."
"After they left, the dozen or so women were covered in bruises and dying. There were not many good spots on their bodies. Some of them even had cracks in the valley..."
Listening to Councilor Hou's description, Lan Bing looked at him with cold eyes.
A drop of sweat slowly dripped from Congressman Hou's forehead.
Lan Bing asked, "You covered this up."
What she said was an affirmative sentence. Senator Hou had no way to refute it and could only admit, "Yes... yes."
However, after pleading guilty, he still argued excitedly, "I did help cover it up. But you also know that the Huang family is very powerful. I am just a small municipal committee member. Although I am also a member, I have nothing to do with them.
There is a huge difference. How dare you mess with powerful congressmen like them?"
"So, I just did it because I didn't dare to offend them. I have nothing to do with them!"
After hearing what Councilor Hou said, Lan Bing didn't say much. She turned her head and looked at the black shadow.
The silent figure noticed Lan Bing's gaze. He looked at Lan Bing, shook his head slightly, and whispered, "Sir, he is not the traitor."
At that moment, Lan Bing's brows frowned deeply.
She looked at the black shadow and said expressionlessly, "This is the last congressman. Are you sure?"
The shadow nodded.
Seeing Heiying being so determined and confident, Lan Bing was a little hesitant for a moment: Could it be that...that special ability really belongs to Heiying? Otherwise, why would he dare to be so confident?
But! Now all 60 congressmen have been investigated, and the last traitor has not been found. This is inconsistent with the information given by Fang Ze. This investigation of so many congressmen was in vain, how will the matter end?
While Lan Bing was thinking this, Councilor Hou had already heard the conversation between Lan Bing and Heiying.
His eyes lit up, and then he stood up suddenly and said, "Congressman Lan! Am I no longer suspected? You have discovered my innocence, right?"
Lan Bing also didn't expect that Representative Hou would have such sharp ears. But if things were like this, she couldn't force him to accuse him: even if she did, the Secret Service would come to verify it right away. The secret would still be exposed.
Therefore, she could only nod indifferently, "Congratulations, Senator Hou."
Hearing Lan Bing confirm his guess, Councilor Hou suddenly showed a bright smile on his face. But before he could smile for two more seconds, Lan Bing coldly poured a basin of cold water on his head, "But you
I will conduct relevant investigations into the malfeasance in the White Jade Spider Woman incident. You should be mentally prepared."
After hearing Lan Bing's words, the expression on Councilor Hou's face suddenly froze. The good mood just now was gone...
.....
Two minutes later, the door of the reception room opened, and in the eyes of more than sixty congressmen, Congressman Hou and the female director slowly walked out in black shadow.
When he saw the bright smile on Congressman Hou's face, the congressman almost guessed the result: Congressman Hou is fine too!
For a moment, there was noisy discussion in the corridor,
"Lao Hou is not the same? What's going on?"
"What is the Security Bureau doing? They investigated us all and found out that no one is the right one?"
"That's right. Then what should we cooperate with? Could it be that they haven't set a goal themselves and are just guessing aimlessly?"
"The authority of the Security Bureau is really too great. If this continues, it will become lawless."
The Security Bureau's actions in the past few days have aroused dissatisfaction among many members of Congress. Now, through this work mistake, members of Congress suddenly have a way to vent their anger.
However, this situation is nothing to Lan Bing. She glanced at these congressmen with cold eyes, and then said slowly, "Why does the Security Bureau need to explain to you what it does."
"You should be lucky that nothing wrong with you was found. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be standing here talking to me."
"As for the rest..." When she said this, she said expressionlessly, "If you have any objections, just complain. If you want to reduce the authority, just make a proposal. See if you have enough votes!"
After hearing Lan Bing's words, some low-status congressmen present did not dare to speak. Although some high-status and powerful congressmen did not dare to speak, their eyes began to spit fire.
The brows of the three executive members also frowned slightly.
At this moment, Fang Ze's voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, "My lords, please be patient and don't be impatient."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the congressman who had just been pushed down by Lan Bing immediately looked at Fang Ze.
Under the gaze of dozens of congressmen, Fang Ze showed no signs of stage fright. He smiled and said, "My lords, the investigation is not over yet. Are you a little too anxious to be angry now?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the congressmen looked at each other. One of them said, "The investigation is not over yet? All the congressmen present have been investigated. Don't you mean to say that the 25 congressmen today?
You didn’t participate in the investigation, so it doesn’t count?”
Although the other congressmen did not speak, their eyes kept flickering when they looked at Fang Ze, and they seemed to have similar opinions to that congressman.
Seeing such a big reaction from the MPs, Fang Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "My lords, please don't get excited. Of course I believe in the investigation of Director Lan and the masters of the Si family. Therefore, I will not conduct a second investigation.
"
"But, what I mean is...there are 63 members present. But we only investigated 60. There are still 3 people who have not been investigated. In addition to the three present, there are still six members
He has not been investigated."
"If you want to make a fuss, should you wait until these congressmen have finished investigating?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the congressmen present were stunned for a moment, and then looked at him in shock!
It is true that there are 63 members present! But 3 of them are executive members! And the six members who were not investigated are also executive members!
Although the executive members are also members, their status is quite different from that of the members. When a formal parliament is not convened and the speakers do not appear, they are the highest officials of Cedar State.
Investigate them? Is Fang Ze crazy?
Moreover, you must know that the investigation of the members has not yielded results, and the female director, the first person among the members, can still suppress it. If the investigation of the executive members has not yielded results, then only the head of the Bai family or Mr. Bai can come forward to calm the matter.
What's more, among all the people present, the three executive members have the highest status and power. Who can ask for an investigation into them?
And sure enough, after hearing Fang Ze's words, the faces of the three executive members present could not help but darken, and they were obviously in a very unhappy mood. Councilor Wu, one of the three executive members, snorted coldly and scolded, "Nonsense!
You don’t have the right to investigate executive members!”
And before she could finish her words, suddenly, an old voice came out of thin air in everyone's ears, "Let him check. I'll see if he can find out."
Hearing that voice, all the members present were shocked. The expressions of the three executive members also changed slightly.
"speaker?"
"Speaker." "Speaker." For a moment, under the leadership of several members, all members, including executive members, bowed slightly toward the void and saluted.
But after He Weidao left those words, he never spoke again.
Seeing this, although they were unwilling to do so, the three executive members still looked at Fang Ze with burning eyes, "Member Fang, since the speaker has spoken, you can check it if you want."
Fang Ze smiled and said, "You three adults, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just suggesting. I'm not investigating."
With that said, Fang Ze gestured towards Lan Bing and Heiying.
Lan Bing was actually a little surprised that things had changed so many times, but she had seen many storms and heavy rains in recent years, and after getting over the initial surprise, her mood had long since calmed down.
Hearing Fang Ze's words, she looked at Fang Ze deeply with her sapphire blue eyes, and then motioned to the three executive members, "Please."
As the director of the State Security Bureau, she was worthy of being an executive member, so after finishing speaking, she walked into the reception room first.
Upon seeing this, the three congressmen looked at each other and simply walked in together.
And Heiying, Nan Yi, and Xiao You followed closely behind.
After a moment, the door to the reception room was closed from the inside, isolating the inside and outside.
In the corridor, the members of the House of Representatives looked at each other, and then quietly cast their peripheral vision at Fang Ze, wanting to see how Fang Ze felt about setting fire to the executive member.
At this time, Fang Ze pretended to be worried on the surface, but he was actually very relaxed inside.
As early as last night after he took out the last traitor from Councilor Xu's heart and found out that he was an executive councilor, he knew that this would be the result.
But he didn't expect that things would be such a coincidence. The traitor happened to be on duty. This left a lot of time for him.
If it weren't for the full set of acting, he would have asked to skip those 25 members and directly investigate the three executive members!
And when he was thinking this, suddenly the old voice sounded in the void again, "How brave! How dare you get violent and hurt someone!"
"Wu Xiuli, I didn't expect it to be you!"
at the same time.
Obviously they didn't see anything in their sight, but everyone seemed to see a giant hand falling from the sky and slamming into the closed reception room!
There was a loud "Boom!", accompanied by Councilor Wu's scream, and the reception room exploded from the inside. Dust flew into the air, and stones mixed with fragments of laws and regulations flew into the air.
Seeing this terrifying blow, Fang Ze's penis shrank slightly.
