CHAPTER 106 - Chapter 106: Moles Hidden Within the Lamplighters
"you say!"
"I am a spy from the Imperial City Department among the Lantern Bearers. You can't move!"
The two people's voices rang out in the house, and Xia Chen shook his head without any hesitation.
"Impossible. My mission this time is to remove all the spies planted among the Lantern Bearers, and your Imperial City Division is naturally among them."
"Then there's nothing to discuss. I can't possibly tell you in person who are the secret agents of the Imperial City Division!"
Su Su shook her head with a firm tone.
"It's getting late, and I don't want to talk too late. How about this, you give me all the information you have about the Inspection Office. I don't need to investigate the people below the 100th household in the Imperial City Bureau. We can each do our own thing. ability!"
Xia Chen looked at Su Su calmly.
Su Su's eyes were hesitant, she knew that the secret agents that the Imperial City Division had arranged among the Lantern Bearers would be in danger.
"This is the final bottom line. I came to see you tonight, which is considered to have given you the news in advance. If you still don't agree, I will close the net in advance and pretend that I have never been here tonight.
I have already identified the general suspects. Even if you don't give me accurate information, I will just spend more time and energy. I won't be able to fight so beautifully this time, but I will still be credited anyway!"
Xia Chen's eyes were calm, this was his bottom line. If it wasn't for the fact that this battle was perfect, he could have closed the net this afternoon.
In the past two months, Xia Chen has asked Xu Xingchen and Yu Shaoqian to participate, especially Xu Xingchen, whose IQ is as high as 99.
The three of them worked through the clues, put their heads together, and pieced together a list.
Even if there are errors when arresting people according to this list, the spies can be completely rooted out through subsequent interrogations and examinations.
It just requires more time and energy, and Xia Chen wants to decide the outcome in one battle.
In the room, Su Su fell into silence. Xia Chen glanced at her and continued.
"And they cheated you last time, don't you want to take revenge?"
Su Su looked at Xia Chen expressionlessly.
"We can tell you the information we have, but we need to show mercy to our people!"
"I said I won't investigate anyone below the 100th household, but for those above the 100th household, you can't blame me. They hold high positions in the Lantern People and have too much influence. They must be eradicated!"
Xia Chen said again, and Su Su looked at him for a long time before speaking.
"Wang Zongze, the director of the Sixth Department, is from the Inspection Institute. He was instigated by the Inspection Institute three years ago. The captain of the Fifth Department is also from the Inspection Institute. He was instigated six years ago. He’s also a centurion!”
As Su Su spoke, she looked at Xia Chen deeply.
This young man was indeed very capable.
He had found out the high-ranking officials of the Inspection Bureau hidden among the Lantern Bearers in less than three months.
The reason why she knew this was because of the secret agents hidden in the capital of Dafeng from the Imperial City Division.
Top secret information learned from the procuratorate.
Xia Chen's gaze remained unchanged when he heard this, as everything was as expected. At that time, they stole the military defense map and misled the former commander Lu Li, and framed the Imperial City Division.
As long as there is a move or activity, traces will be left behind. Such traces can only be covered up but cannot be completely erased.
It took him two months to identify the final suspect. The methods used by the Procuratorate were already very sophisticated.
"There is another person who is hiding very deeply. Although he did not take part in this military defense map activity, he is also a member of the Inspection Institute!"
Su Su looked far away, and suddenly smiled.
"who?"
Xia Chen's eyes focused, this trip was indeed not in vain, and he gained something.
"Director of the Ninth Department, Wang Chunguang!"
When Xia Chen heard the name, his information quickly emerged in his mind.
The Ninth Department of the Lantern Bearer is also known as the Confinement Department. This department is the only department that does not go out for activities, does not have jurisdiction over a certain area, and does not engage in secret activities.
Moreover, the headquarters is also in the capital.
This department has great power. The Confinement Department is in charge of interrogation, detention and a series of subsequent matters. The Lantern Prison is under their control.
The last time Xia Chen rescued the merchants Shen Xueyan, Yu Shaoqian and Zhang Wenliao from prison, he had to go through the procedures of their company.
“Interesting!”
Xia Chen murmured to himself and smiled. There was something special about the Inspection Institute. Two of the nine directors were infiltrated by them.
"Wang Chunguang was instigated to rebel a year ago.
Since five years ago, the Dafeng Inspection Office has been managed by the eldest princess of Dafeng, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Dafeng.
This eldest princess is extremely powerful and can see through people's hearts.
Not only have many of you Lantern Bearers been turned against us, but our Imperial City Division has also suffered heavy losses!"
Su Su looked at Xia Chen and sighed.
Although they had successfully infiltrated the Inspection Institute in Dafeng and obtained such top-secret information, they were also discovered by the Princess of Dafeng.
The entire Imperial City Bureau was in Dafeng.
The spy network in Fengdu City was almost uprooted...
After this painful lesson, this is one of the reasons why she was so cautious in Dawu Capital, not wanting to anger him and willing to cooperate with Xia Chen.
She couldn't die in Dawu, she had to go back, back to Daqing!
Su Su's eyes were blank, and she thought of many things in an instant...
"Anything else? I heard that the Imperial City Division suffered heavy losses in the capital of Dafeng recently. I can help you get revenge!"
Xia Chen smiled and watched Su Su continue to stir people's hearts.
Su Su looked at Xia Chen and naturally knew his intention, but she did want revenge, so she mentioned the names of two thousand households.
Each of these names was found out by their Imperial City Division at great risk.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Xia Chen smiled and stretched out his hand to Su Su. Su Su hesitated for a moment and looked at Xia Chen again. The other party's eyes were clear and it seemed that he was not deliberately trying to take advantage of her. So she also stretched out her hand and gently kissed Xia Chen. Shake it.
The discussion was over and the room fell into silence.
"Turn off the lights, it's getting late, time to go to bed!"
Xia Chen leaned towards the bed consciously, and then spoke slowly.
Su Su gritted her teeth. This b*****d is really rude!
Su Su waved her jade hand, and the candles in the room were extinguished immediately. She lay down carefully beside the bed.
This feeling made her feel quite strange. They were obviously enemies, but they were lying on the same bed. They were obviously wary of each other, but they seemed to trust each other very much...
In the dark!
Su Su turned her head and looked at the profile of Xia Chen lying flat on the bed, her eyes slightly dazed.
This man is very handsome. Some people say he is kind and a gentleman, but she thinks he is a b*****d, thick-skinned and shameless.
"But he is honest and smart!"
Su Su murmured to herself, thinking that this man was full of contradictions.
Suddenly, she saw Xia Chen turn over, and the two looked at each other in the darkness, each clearly seeing the other's lively eyes.
Su Su was panicking, feeling like a thief caught in the act.
She was about to say something to explain, when she suddenly felt a big hot hand reaching out to her waist, and then a force came from the big hand, and her whole body naturally fell into Xia Chen's arms.
