156. Late-night investigation into the fading order (7000 words for the moon)
Thinking like this, Fang Ze couldn't help but carefully check Councilor Huang's good or bad situation.
What made Fang Ze relax a little was that there was no change in Councilor Huang's aura of good or bad luck, and he was very calm. This showed that Councilor Huang had no intention of killing him in a short period of time.
And then thinking about the great business of the Huang family and its deep roots in West Dazhou, we must be careful when dealing with it. We must not alert the snake in the first place, and we must leave sufficient processing time for the Security Bureau and relevant departments. So thinking like this, after hesitating for a moment, Fang Ze finally
Or decided to take the risk alone.
Of course, just because he went into danger alone doesn't mean he was joking with his own life.
While he was pretending to think, he did not hesitate to maximize his life-saving ability: he directly borrowed Jiang Cheng's [Rescue] ability.
This ability allows Fang Ze to bind to an extraordinary creature that is completely controlled by him. If he encounters fatal damage, the extraordinary creature will switch places with Fang Ze to block the fatal blow.
And after he moves away, he can also use [Recruit] to pull Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing away and get the three of them out of danger.
After making life-saving arrangements, Fang Ze came to his senses. Then he smiled at Councilor Huang and said, "Since Councilor Huang has extended your invitation, we have to be respectful and obey."
"Tonight's dinner will be disturbed."
Seeing Fang Ze agreeing so happily, Councilor Huang also smiled very happily. He said to Fang Ze, "No trouble, no trouble. Councilor Fang's arrival has made our family shine!" Then he turned to the housekeeper.
He gave the order, "Let the kitchen start cooking now, and do it according to the highest standards. I want to entertain distinguished guests!"
After giving the instructions, he turned around again and signaled to Fang Ze, "Congressman Fang, let's go this way." Then he led Fang Ze and his group to start walking towards the manor.
Seeing his gentle attitude, Fang Ze confirmed once again that he had no intention of attacking him tonight. So Fang Ze felt a little more relaxed.
But even so, Fang Ze still did not relax his vigilance. He was ready to escape at any time, and then led the people around him and followed Congressman Huang into the Huang family manor, talking and laughing.
A group of people strolled through the Huang family manor.
Little Bailing was innocent and didn't notice anything unusual, so she ate a lollipop and skipped beside Fang Ze. She opened her big eyes and curiously looked at this place that was bigger than her home.
Luxurious manor.
But because Bai Zhi had spent a day with Fang Ze and was the only one who knew the secret mission and Fang Ze's next plan, he was keenly aware that something was wrong.
You know, on the way to Huang's house just now, Fang Ze was still frowning, thinking about some excuse to visit more congressmen today.
As a result, after meeting Mr. Huang, he suddenly wasn't in a hurry anymore!
This already shows that something is wrong.
‘Could it be that...Congressman Huang is a believer of Daheigaluo?’
Bai Zhi was shocked when she thought of this. She was a little surprised by the truth, but also a little surprised by Fang Ze's method of investigation.
After all, Fang Ze came into contact with Councilor Huang under the eyes of everyone, without asking any questions or making any special moves. How on earth did he investigate...? It's amazing!
In this way, to Bai Zhi's surprise, the group arrived at the Huang family's mansion.
At this time, Congressman Huang didn't know that he had been exposed. He could hide for so many years because he never regarded himself as a traitor outside. No matter what he did, he always considered the interests of the human Huang family and Congressman Huang.
From the perspective of the Huang family and Councilor Huang: Fang Ze is the only descendant of the Si family and is blessed with great fortune. As soon as he came into contact with him, he also felt that Fang Ze was extraordinary and he looked like a dragon or a phoenix among people. In addition, the Huang family and
The Si family has no grudges and even had a little friendship in the past, so we must make good friends with them!
Therefore, after he invited Fang Ze back to his family's manor, he really entertained him enthusiastically. Not only did he let his son and daughter accompany him, but he also brought out the fine wine he had collected for many years. The dinner standard was also in accordance with the Huang family's
We always maintain the highest standards for entertaining guests.
Fang Ze saw what Congressman Huang was doing. To be honest, if he hadn't used the [Black Panther] ability to confirm Congressman Huang's identity, Fang Ze might have been deceived.
And every time at this time, he would look again at the good or bad situation of Congressman Huang and his family.
If it is a coincidence that a person's fortune and misfortune are similar to those of Daheigaluo believers, then it is really unreasonable for a family to be similar...
While thinking this, Fang Ze also began to test Councilor Huang, "Uncle Huang, let me tell you something thoughtful. Today, I met many councilors, but few of them really dared to talk to each other."
"Only you. As soon as I met you, I felt you were trustworthy."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Councilor Huang laughed "haha" twice, and then said, "My dear nephew, you are right to trust me. I tell you, you can go out and ask around. Our Huang family can develop to this day, thanks to
There are two words, one is 'faith' and the other is 'righteousness'."
"What about you in the future? If you need help or if you don't understand something, just come to me and ask me. I will never shirk it!"
Hearing what Councilman Huang said, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile. He offered tea instead of wine and toasted Councilor Huang, "Then I'll thank Uncle Huang in advance."
Councilor Huang smiled and took a cup of tea.
Seeing Councilor Huang finish his tea, Fang Ze took advantage of the situation and asked, "Uncle Huang, you just said that I can ask you if I don't understand anything. I really have a question that I would like to ask you to help me with."
"I was originally only going to visit you and twelve other congressmen today. Later, I saw that I still had plenty of time, so I made appointments with Congressman Zhang and Congressman Wang. But to be honest, apart from you, I didn't feel that I gained much."
"So I would like to ask you to give me some advice. Tomorrow, which congressmen can I meet first so that I can gain more?"
The reason why Fang Ze asked this question was the same as the werewolf's speech in the werewolf killing. According to the inertia of thinking, when encountering this kind of inquiry, the werewolf would usually unconsciously involve one or two of his accomplices.
First, if they are not exposed, it will be easier to gain trust, which will be more beneficial to their organization.
Second, no matter how good their mentality is, the members of this secretive organization are actually extremely vigilant. They may always be worried about the risk of exposure. Therefore, when faced with a choice, in order to avoid being wiped out by the enemy, they usually kill their accomplices
Divide into two parts to spread the risk.
That's why Fang Ze used this question to test Senator Huang.
Sure enough, after hearing Fang Ze's question, Councilor Huang fell into deep thought for a while.
He seemed to be really thinking about how to allocate his accomplices, and he seemed to be really helping Fang Ze think about who it would be better to meet.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, then smiled and said, "My dear nephew, I understand what you mean. In fact, you just want to know which congressmen have a history with the Si family, and which ones are more likely to support you."
When Fang Ze nodded, Councilor Huang said, "But... you also know that councilors are in this position and more or less wear masks to live. So I am not sure how everyone feels about the Si family.
My true attitude toward you.”
When Fang Ze wanted to ask, Councilor Huang raised his hand with a smile and said, "However, although I can't give you a choice, I can give you some ideas."
"Back then, the main sphere of influence of your Si family was the Federal Guard. Go back and find out which of the 60 congressmen served in the Federal Guard more than ten years ago. These congressmen may usually have an old relationship with the Si family."
"In addition, you can also follow this line of inquiry and search for congressmen who served in the Security Bureau and the Investigation Bureau more than ten years ago. These two departments cooperate more with the Federal Guards, and they will also have some friendship."
Hearing Councilor Huang's words, Fang Ze pretended to be surprised and nodded. But in fact, he secretly smiled in his heart: Sure enough, even the old fox is not immune to this kind of problem...
At first glance, there is indeed nothing wrong with Councilor Huang's words, and they are very reasonable. After all, people who have been promoted by the Si family, or have cooperated with and have friendship with the Si family, are of course more likely to support Fang Ze.
Moreover, he did not give a specific list, but only told a range and asked Fang Ze to investigate on his own. This made it easier for people to think that he had no selfish motives and was really thinking about Fang Ze and was trustworthy.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there is a big problem here: the demise of the Si family was a major event with wide implications. Most of the people who collaborated with the Si family in various departments at that time were investigated. And the Si family's
Those vassals and subordinates were beaten to death and arrested. Only people like Hushan and Councilor Jia who had conflicts with the Si family survived.
Therefore, most of the people who can remain in these three departments today are not of the same mind as the Si family!
On the contrary, there were people in other departments who had no interest relationship with the Si family and only had personal friends. Because they were not affected by the demise of the Si family and only saw the misery of the Si family, it was possible that ten years later, because of the personal friendship back then,
, the other party Ze lends a helping hand. Take the best example: Aunt Jin.
So the idea given by Councilor Huang is completely wrong. This shows two things. First, he probably really doesn’t know who has a good impression of the Si family, but he still wants to answer this question. Second, he wants to answer the question so much.
There are his accomplices within the circle...
Thinking of this, Fang Ze also silently planned to verify these people tomorrow to see if he could catch the second mouse. Of course, it would be better if he could get a specific list when he investigates Congressman Huang tonight...
...
With this in mind, Fang Ze also continued to chat with the condescending Senator He Huang.
After chatting like this for more than 40 minutes, the butler came up and reported that the appetizers were ready. Councilor Huang also smiled and led Fang Ze and the others to the table. As for the others, they would have other arrangements.
I followed Senator Huang to the restaurant. There were precious paintings hanging on the walls and gorgeous sets of precious metal tableware on the dining table. Due to the long history of Cedar State, the catering is also very complicated, and a set of tableware has seven or eight pieces.
After sitting down with Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing, Fang Ze looked at the strange tableware on the table and said with a smile, "I grew up in a low-level city. This is the first time I have eaten such a formal meal. These tableware are all
I don’t recognize it completely. If I use it wrong for a while, don’t laugh at me.”
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi stopped laying out the napkin skillfully, then looked at Fang Ze and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll tell you from the side."
I don't know if he overheard the conversation between the two. Councilor Huang who just sat down was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed heartily "haha" twice and said, "It seems that I am not the only one who finds these tableware troublesome."
"My dear nephew, let me tell you. Don't tell me that you grew up in a low-level city. Even I, who have lived in the state capital for decades, can't recognize all these tableware."
"Every time I use these tableware, I need the butler to remind me."
"Every time I go to an official banquet, I have to review it at home a day in advance. Hahaha."
Having said this, he waved his hand towards the butler, and then said, "Except for the basic tableware, all other tableware has been removed. How many times have I told you, I can't remember this."
Hearing Councilor Huang's words, Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with a complicated look.
To be honest, Senator Huang is over 50 years old. He belongs to a big family like the Huang family, and his position is that of a member. He has attended countless formal banquets, large and small. If he says he doesn't understand or can't remember these tableware, that's really wrong.
Insulting everyone's intelligence.
And the reason why he said this was obviously to help Fang Ze out of trouble and resolve the embarrassment in a tactful way.
To be honest, Fang Ze was deeply impressed by the several interactions he had with Councilor Huang today.
When he read the information about the Huang family before, he was actually very curious about whether a dead ancestor could really create such a large family?
After seeing Councilor Huang's emotional intelligence and methods, Fang Ze felt that it was very reasonable.
Mr. Huang indeed gave the Huang family a key starting platform. But the reason why the Huang family has been able to develop to this level is mainly because of Councilor Huang.
To be honest, if he hadn't discovered Councilor Huang's true face, Fang Ze might not have been able to help being impressed by him...
There were no surprises in the dinner that followed. Everything was just like before. Councilor Huang and his family showed the hospitality and enthusiasm of the host to the fullest, making Fang Ze and his party feel at home.
After finishing the meal, after Councilor Huang learned that Fang Ze had other plans, he did not force Fang Ze to stay. Instead, he asked his family to prepare some gifts for Fang Ze and his party, and then sent Fang Ze away from the manor.
.
The gifts are not expensive at all, they are all rare items or specialties that cannot be bought in the state capital. From this, we can see Congressman Huang's attentiveness and meticulousness.
After leaving Congressman Huang's estate, the vehicle continued to drive towards the next Congressman's residence.
This journey can be said to be the happiest time for the dozens of entourage members. In their respective cars, they whispered excitedly about Councilor Huang’s enthusiasm and hospitality, about the Huang family’s situation in the state capital, and about Huang’s family.
The development of MPs in recent years.
Fang Ze's car was very quiet because Fang Ze was here. But even so, the smiles on the faces of the butler and the driver could be seen through the rearview mirror.
In the convoy of dozens of people, perhaps Bai Zhi and Fang Ze were the only two who felt differently from them...
After the car drove out of the Huang family's area, Bai Zhi quietly tilted her head and glanced at Fang Ze. After a moment, she lowered her head and took out her mobile phone, typed a few words, and then handed it over.
When Fang Ze saw this, he glanced at her and then looked down at the screen of his phone. There were only two simple words written on the screen, [Is it him?]
Fang Ze was silent for a while, then nodded imperceptibly.
Thinking of Congressman Huang's long-sleeved and dancing appearance, and thinking of the Huang family's deep-rooted development in West Texas State, Bai Zhi couldn't help but purse his lips slightly.
After a moment, she handed her cell phone over again, [What is the probability?]
Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, deleted her words, and entered two words, [90%].
Bai Zhi took a slight breath of air, then she took back her phone and turned off the screen.
Seeing that Bai Zhi stopped asking, Fang Ze leaned on his seat, tilted his head and quietly looked out the window at the colorful night scene of the state capital and the hurried pedestrians...
For a moment, he suddenly felt a warm hand gently grasp his hand.
He turned around in surprise and saw Bai Zhi looking at him, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.
Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled, covering Bai Zhi's hand with his other hand, and patted it gently...
The tacit understanding between the two is unspoken...
.....
The next two congressmen he visited did not surprise Fang Ze, and there was not much worth paying attention to. They were just like those congressmen after Congressman Jia, they were all so hypocritical and so impeccable.
They looked extremely enthusiastic, but it was obvious that they were not sincere and were just wearing a false mask.
And of course, there are no followers of Daheigaluo among them...
Just like that, at 9 o'clock in the evening, after Fang Ze visited the last congressman he had made an appointment with, he returned to the [Five Star Hotel] with Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing.
Although the hotel is the entrance to the Security Bureau, it is also open to the outside world, so Fang Ze brought Xiao Bailing to the hotel and opened a room for her. As for the thirty guards of the Hu family, they did not receive such high treatment.
, Fang Ze handed them over to the housekeeper and asked the housekeeper to arrange them according to normal treatment.
After handling these chores, Fang Ze took Bai Zhi and Xiao Bailing upstairs. When they arrived upstairs, Xiao Bailing made a noise and wanted to visit Bai Zhi's room.
Bai Zhi actually wanted to spend more time with Fang Ze tonight, but because he couldn't resist her, he could only look at Fang Ze apologetically in the end.
Fang Ze didn't care. He had too many things to do tonight and needed time and no one to accompany him. So the three of them said good night to each other at the door and went back to their respective rooms.
After returning to the room, Fang Ze simply washed up and started working mode. He sat down at the table, closed his eyes and began to recall the various details of the meeting with Congressman Huang today, and analyzed Congressman Huang's character. In his mind
Build a model of the Huang family estate and prepare for tonight's investigation!
.....
While Fang Ze was working hard to prepare.
At the same time, the Jiang family in the state capital.
The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Cheng’s father, was looking at the kneeling guards below with a gloomy face, and then in a voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, he asked slowly, “Jiang Cheng hasn’t been found yet.
His whereabouts?!"
Several guards said tremblingly, "Report to the Lord, it's not yet."
The head of the Jiang family looked at them with a gloomy expression, and then said in a deep voice, "Such a big living person! He just disappeared after saying that he was gone!? What do you do for food!"
The guards looked at each other and then said, "My lord. The disappearance of the young master this time is indeed a bit strange."
"We investigated the surveillance near the young master's residence, but found no clues. We also checked the space fluctuations in the manor, but still found nothing. As for other early warning, defense, monitoring and other enchantments and noble phantoms, they were also not triggered last night.
"
"In addition, the young master's ability is extremely good at escaping and saving lives. Theoretically, unless someone counter-blocks the invasion, controls the young master immediately, and uses a legal prohibition order against him, there will definitely be no clues at all.
Leave."
"So...we wonder if the young master has something secret to do, so he went out quietly...?"
"After all...his tree of life has always been very healthy, without any withering."
Hearing the guard's words, the head of the Jiang family looked gloomy and uncertain. After a moment, he suddenly slowly asked, "What is Fang Ze doing today?"
This question was obviously not about the guards. Sure enough, a moment later, a gray-haired old man walked out of the shadows. He bowed respectfully to the head of the Jiang family, and then said, "Fang Ze has been meeting with all the members today.
Abnormal. He has been staying at the security bureau’s internal hotel since last night and has never been out publicly.”
The head of the Jiang family pondered for a while, then said "hmm" when he heard this, and then ordered, "Deploy two masters to monitor Fang Ze's every move."
"Investigate whether he may be related to Jiang Cheng's disappearance..."
The old man responded, "Yes." Then he slowly disappeared into the darkness.
The head of the Jiang family seemed not to have seen all this. He looked out the window with deep eyes and murmured softly, "Cheng'er, you must not do anything stupid."
"But don't worry, even if you do something stupid and get killed, dad will help you get revenge!"
........
at the same time.
The Huang family's manor.
Councilor Huang locked himself in the study alone. He did not turn on the light, and the whole person was completely plunged into darkness.
There was no expression on his face in the darkness, and he looked a bit cold and scary. He held a cigarette between his fingers. The cigarette was burning quietly, and the sparks were obscure in the darkness...
Councilor Huang just sat on the chair, slowly recalling the whole process of meeting Fang Ze in his mind. He didn't know how long it took, but after he was sure that he didn't reveal any flaws, he slowly put out the cigarette and rubbed it.
face, and then walked out of the study.
After walking out of the study, his face suddenly changed to that smiling, particularly sincere face, as if the person in the study just now was not him!
...
late at night.
Arriving at the late-night investigation room again, Fang Ze was not idle.
He first went to the Demigod Prison and quietly took a look at Jiang Cheng.
At this time, Jiang Cheng had already woken up and was making trouble in the cell.
Maybe he felt that his soul was imprisoned and he recognized people as his master. He became extremely irritable, kept banging on the wall, and then cursed crazily with his barren national curse!
Fang Ze looked at him quietly for a while and did not go to the prison to see him.
There are only 102 noble families among billions of human beings. Who knows what weird abilities or talents they have.
Therefore, before completely controlling Jiang Cheng or letting Jiang Cheng die twice, Fang Ze will be very careful and will never reveal his identity!
With this in mind, Fang Ze left the Demigod Prison and headed to the late-night investigation room to prepare for today's investigation.
On the way to the late-night investigation room, Fang Ze's figure began to change rapidly. His stature began to decrease, and his face began to age, but his aura began to get stronger and stronger, rising steadily!
Just like this, when he walked into the late-night investigation room, he had completely transformed into Jiang Cheng!
He wants to investigate Congressman Huang tonight, which is an extremely dangerous matter!
After all, according to official information alone, Councilor Huang is a master who has reached the beginning of the mortal world. And no one knows whether he has any hidden strength in private.
Even if he didn't hide it, his apparent strength was not something Fang Ze could handle!
Therefore, when planning to investigate Congressman Huang tonight, Fang Ze made a decision: He will investigate tonight, but he must pay attention to safety. The first rule is not to have contact with Congressman Huang! The further away, the better!
In order to ensure that Councilor Huang noticed something was wrong, or noticed Fang Ze's position, Fang Ze took action. Fang Ze even transformed into Jiang Cheng, the strongest and most capable person in his hands, to save his life and confuse his eyes!
In addition to this, Fang Ze is also covered in chain armor made of hundreds of defensive treasures, and has the [rescue] ability. It can be said that his life-saving ability is fully stretched!
He knows that tonight's investigation will be walking on a tightrope, but in order to solve the case as soon as possible and stop the conspiracy of Daheigaluo as soon as possible, he must take risks!
And he also believes that he will be able to turn danger into luck and turn danger into luck!
With this in mind, Fang Ze, who transformed into Jiang Cheng, came to the table and sat down, and then carefully adjusted the layout of the entire room according to the plan he had made tonight.
Then, he began to try to divide the late-night investigation room into two completely independent spaces.
After that, he hid himself in the smaller of the two spaces, turned himself transparent, and then... started the summoning tonight!
Following Fang Ze's call, five seconds later, Councilor Huang's shadow slowly appeared in the late-night investigation room...
Fang Ze, who had long been accustomed to summoning those under investigation, stared closely at Councilor Huang's figure, and habitually wanted to put a legal injunction on Councilor Huang first to reduce his threat!
As a result, as soon as Fang Ze raised his hand, before he could control the movement of the items, he was surprised to find that when he arrived at the late-night investigation room, Councilor Huang seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly opened his eyes while he was sleeping.
eyes, then turned over and stood up, touching his waist with his hands, watching everything in front of him vigilantly...
