Ever since they privately reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Blacksmith Guild, the elite team led by Li Mu has not rested for a moment.
The five people were scattered in the huge Metallurgical City, and with the help of the Blacksmith Guild's ubiquitous channel network, they continued to collect relevant information about Dong Penglai and the "Blood" organization.
"The above is a summary of the intelligence we collected today. Most of them are insignificant clues. Mapo Trading Company in Dongcheng District can continue to pay attention tomorrow. The store owner's nephew is a captain in Dong Penglai, and there may be some breakthroughs."
In the hotel room, five people sat together and each summarized the day's gains. Although Luo Wen, the master craftsman, kept his word and even assigned a vice president to assist Li Mu and the others, the investigation over the past few days still failed.
With little success.
"Continuing like this is not an option. A large-scale battle on the front line will start at any time, but we are still trapped in Metallurgical City and have nothing to gain. How about we stop wasting time here and go straight behind the enemy lines. We can always find out something."
Jin Ding still had the same irritable look, scratching his head and put forward his opinion, but after he said it, he also realized that something was wrong, so he could only laugh a few times to relieve the embarrassment.
"Junior Brother Jin has a certain truth to what he said. Let's do this. Tomorrow we will consult Vice President Mo to see if he has any new information channels. If it doesn't work, we will have to forcibly venture into the hinterland of Dong Penglai.
"
Li Mu is well aware of everyone's anxiety. Any loss of time may cause the soldiers on the frontline battlefield to face catastrophe. The small team not only has to fight the enemy, but also has to race against time.
"Well, I understand what you mean. I have been thinking about where to get more valuable information these days, and a place really came to mind for me."
The next day, the team met with Mo Tianyi in an inconspicuous teahouse. The newly promoted vice president of the Blacksmiths Guild did not shirk. Instead, he took out his achievements in the past few days to discuss with Li Mu and the others.
share.
"So my suggestion is this: take a broader view and pay attention to the unusual events in the city. Maybe you can find connections and clues."
Mo Tianyi proposed a new method that impressed Li Mu and others. He expanded the scope of intelligence to not only limited keywords such as Dong Penglai, battle, and black-robed men, but also focused on mining metallurgy.
All kinds of abnormal events in the city. And if you want to do this, the city's judicial office is the best place to go. This is a judicial organization authorized by the Blacksmith Guild and hired professionals from all over the fairy world to jointly organize it.
Malignant cases, large and small, as well as extraordinary things in the city will be concentrated here, and then classified into categories and handed over to agencies such as the City Defense Warriors to handle them. Therefore, if you want to know what weird things are happening in Metallurgical City, the Judicial Office is the most efficient choice.
Under the leadership of Mo Tianyi, the team entered the office of the Siyan Yamen unimpeded. This two-story building resembled a Buddhist temple. The semicircular dome was all carved from white jade, which admired the metal texture.
The metallurgical city is extremely rare.
Stepping into the hall, Li Mu felt a cool breath. The marble floor under his feet reflected a faint luster. The huge columns were also carved with various complicated patterns. For a moment, he felt like he was back.
Arriving at the famous religious palace in the previous life.
"President Mo, I'm sorry. The president is involved in an important case, so I can't greet him in person. I've been specially sent to coordinate with you. Please don't take it personally."
The visitor is about forty years old, with gorgeous red lips and high-twisted black hair. At first glance, she seems out of place in this hall, but after careful reflection, she finds that they complement each other. She is definitely a beauty who still has charm.
"Haha, Deacon Jin is serious. The Office of the Case Manager has to deal with difficult cases in the entire Metallurgical City. He is the most powerful right-hand man of our Blacksmith Guild. President Luo told me today that I must come to convey his greetings.
"
Both of them are veterans, and Xiao Momomaru couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes during the business exchange. However, Li Mu had long been used to this kind of scene, smiling and nodding frequently at the charming Butler Jin.
.
"So the situation is like this. Deacon Jin would like to trouble you to sort out the recent suspicious case files in the city, and then try your best to cooperate with these special commissioners sent by President Luo to investigate."
"President Luo will go and say hello personally. The Blacksmith Guild continues to hope that the security of Metallurgical City will get better and better, even during this special period."
After the greetings, Mo Tianyi got straight to the point. While introducing Li Mu and others to Deacon Jin, he also emphasized that this joint mission was personally assigned by Master Luo Wen. Of course, his words showed the respect of the case officer.
The high-sounding reasons made the other party completely unable to refuse.
With the endorsement of the Blacksmiths Guild, the team's identity became justifiable. After bidding farewell to Mo Tianyi, they followed Deacon Jin's footsteps and arrived at the fifth underground floor of the Siyan Yamen.
"This is where our case office keeps all the mystery case files. You said they are unsolved cases within the past month, right? They are on this row of shelves. Please feel free to read them. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."
After pointing out the location of Li Mu's file, Deacon Jin did not leave. Instead, he directly pulled up a chair and sat at a table not far from the team, apparently as if he wanted to participate in the entire investigation.
"In the past, those agents in the TV series could read the entire library's information by themselves. They were all lies. I watched this for five hours."
Rubbing his buzzing head, Li Mu leaned back on the chair and planned to rest for a while. As a strong man in the bone refining realm who has opened up the boundless sea, the physical exertion is naturally nothing, but the high-intensity use
His brain was still making him exhausted.
Looking at the other companions around him, they all continued to read the files, but Deacon Jin had been sitting far away. When he saw the look Li Mu cast, he showed a breathtaking smile.
"Oh, let's go on. This intelligence work is not easy to do. God knows how Lao Fang and Brother Hao persisted in the ANBU. Sure enough, people's joys and sorrows are not the same."
Complaints are complaints, but the task is still urgent. Li Mu, who quickly re-invested in the endless files, finally made a discovery.
"Well? This case is a bit weird. Miss Tao, Elder Li, please come over and take a look."
Following Li Mu's call, members of the team including Deacon Jin gathered over, and a file that was not thick was spread out in front of everyone.
