Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 110 Investigator's License as a Gift
"I already know."

After Han Su submitted his report, outlining his niche within the mysterious circle, a knock sounded at the door. Zhang Chiguo entered with a grim expression, accompanied by Cui Qiao. The atmosphere around them seemed rather tense.
"Someone maliciously infiltrated you and affected the Dead Sea Nail in your possession, almost causing the mission to fail."

“I have already confirmed this with Miss Ai.”

"Because it was outside the city, her monitoring capabilities were limited, and she couldn't give a specific indication, but this kind of thing is very serious."

"..."

Looking at Zhang Chiguo's ashen face, Han Su smiled and asked, "How serious is it?"

Zhang Chiguo said coldly, "It's so serious that even if the other party is an independent investigator, they could be brought down because of this!"

“Before you joined the Disaster Management Bureau, I explained that you would be influenced by some people, or even framed.”

His face grew increasingly grim, and he lowered his voice, saying, "However, I didn't expect them to be so eager, or rather, so blatant."

"I suppose this is also related to your outstanding performance in the Disaster Management Bureau and your rapid promotion."

“But this makes me even more worried. I was actually a little anxious before they didn’t make a move against you, because it was hard to guard against them if they didn’t make a move. But this time they made a move and ignored the rules of the Disaster Management Bureau.”

"Taking action while others are carrying out their missions crosses the line. The Disaster Management Bureau may be chaotic, but interfering with other people's missions is the biggest taboo!"

"If they crossed the line the first time, will they dare to kill people right away next time?"

"Now that you're about to be promoted to investigator, it will certainly be much safer in the city, but will you never leave the city again?"

"Therefore, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

"..."

Looking at Zhang Chiguo's resolute face, Han Su suddenly felt a little worried.

Whether or not to leave the city is still up in the air. In my heart, I'm actually quite looking forward to leaving the city, at least to try summoning the ghost truck.

But at this moment, he thought of the warning Song Chu had given him.

If this invasion came from that monster, then it's the kind of creature that even Song Chu was so wary of.

Is it dangerous for Zhang Chiguo to face him?

Thinking to himself, Han Su said, "Uncle Zhang, what if you find out that the other party is someone you can't afford to offend?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Zhang Chiguo paused for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm just a nobody, there are many people I can't afford to offend, but what does that have to do with whether I continue doing my job?"

Han Su paused for a moment, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Zhang Chiguo waved his hand and said, "I have actually already started investigating, and I have suspects. Don't ask."

"Of course, the person I suspected was indeed unexpected."

"In fact, I didn't think he would be in contact with you at first. The real backbone of the Disaster Management Bureau is only the implementers, investigators, independent investigators, relevant departments, and those legendary investigators who have already left the Disaster Management Bureau with one foot in the door."

"But those who possess mysterious powers include monsters imprisoned by the Disaster Management Bureau, or things that have signed special contracts."

"The object I suspect now belongs to something under a special contract."

"He is currently in a special state. Originally, the special state was supposed to be lifted within two days, but it seems that something unexpected happened, which caused the special state to last longer."

“But I will submit an application as soon as possible so that he can be detained and questioned immediately after his special status is lifted.”

"Another point worth noting is..."

Zhang Chiguo paused for a moment, then said to Han Su, "If it really was it spying on you, then the person who was able to protect you under its surveillance is no ordinary person."

"Although most of these mysterious organizations do maintain neutrality, and some are even tacitly acknowledged by the Disaster Management Bureau, we still need to be careful. Their beliefs and ideologies can influence them and distort their inner selves."

"..."

Han Su understood, and Zhang Chiguo also realized who had helped him during the mission.

While thinking about this question, an image of someone wearing a cat-face mask actually flashed through my mind, but I was still a little puzzled:

'The person who helped me must be Miss Wei Lan, right?'

'Judging by her appearance, she's also someone from the mysterious world, and perhaps even quite powerful!'

'That shadowy figure, trembling in fear and imprisoned on the fifth floor back then, hasn't escaped the mysterious circle even after being released from the kidnapping case?'

'...'

These thoughts flashed through Han Su's mind quickly, but he didn't say them aloud. He simply looked at Zhang Chiguo, smiled, and said:
"Uncle Zhang, the Disaster Management Bureau does need to be rectified, but you need to be careful."

Zhang Chiguo's expression shifted slightly, and he was about to speak when Han Su smiled and said, "I really don't want to encounter this kind of thing, but I'm too busy. I have my own things to do and don't want to waste my time fighting with them, so I really have to ask you for help."

"But I don't want anything to happen to you. I'm afraid I won't have time to help you."

Zhang Chiguo originally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Han Su about his survival in the Disaster Management Bureau and the risks Han Su had taken in the capture of the ghost truck, but when he saw Han Su's eyes at that moment, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

So tired.

Zhang Chiguo didn't know why he saw such a tired expression on the face of a young man like Han Su.

However, this made him immediately abandon his plan to ask questions. He sighed softly, patted Han Su on the shoulder, and said, "Your investigator's license will be issued to you soon, and your authority and confidentiality level will be upgraded."

"Besides, you may not have martial arts skills, but I do." "I'm not doing this because of you; it's just my job."

Han Su paused for a moment, then nodded, picked up his briefcase, and prepared to leave. But Zhang Chiguo suddenly called out to him, "Xiao Han, take a rest. You've already dealt with the ghost truck."

"That thing..."

"We still have time."

Don't overwork yourself.

"..."

Han Su stopped in surprise, turned around to look at Zhang Chiguo, and nodded: "Understood, Uncle Zhang."

But in my heart I was sighing: the machine keeps ticking away, how can I possibly rest?

He carried the suitcase straight out, but unexpectedly, at the base entrance, he heard someone call his name again:

"Han Su".

Han Su frowned, turned around, and saw an unexpected person: the woman in the red trench coat.

She was still wearing her signature red trench coat, with exquisite makeup and those somewhat exaggerated high heels.

He forced a smile: "Teacher Li, is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman in the red trench coat was known as "Red Trench Coat" in the Disaster Management Bureau, but her real surname was Li. Miss Crow was her niece, but her surname was Dong. Han Su didn't know how this was determined.

Having already made things clear to Miss Crow, he was prepared for her to come looking for him. His attitude didn't need to be overly friendly, but since she had trained him, he should still address her with a polite form of address.

"Perhaps I should congratulate you on solving the ghost truck case and obtaining your investigator's license in a record-breaking manner?"

The woman in the red trench coat slowly walked over, a faint smile on her face: "But then again, I thought you would ask me for help, and I was even prepared to help you."

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't call me unless I was sure I would accept your conditions?"

Han Su smiled politely and said, "I'm not used to agreeing to things in advance, so I didn't make this call."

"Actually, we have no ill intentions towards you."

Sensing the distance in Han Su's attitude, the woman in the red trench coat suddenly said with a serious expression, "We originally intended to do everything we could to help you with the ghost truck issue."

“We’ve already prepared a suitable plan and selected enough people for you before you even have a chance to speak.”

"In the final analysis..."

She paused, looking directly into Han Su's eyes: "Initially, we planned to give you this investigator's license as a gift."

Han Su paused slightly upon hearing this, then looked up at her and asked, "And then?"

The woman in the red trench coat said slowly, "Then, after you become an investigator, I will introduce you to someone."

"He will guide you through the investigator's circle, teach you how to survive in this circle, and even train you personally..."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to agree to that condition."

"..."

Han Su asked, "What are the conditions?"

The woman in the red trench coat slowly began, "After being promoted to investigator, focus on improving yourself and completing the tasks assigned by the Disaster Management Bureau..."

"But don't bring up things that have already been decided!"

Upon hearing this, Han Su's heart skipped a beat. He looked up coldly and his tone became more serious.

"why?"

The woman in the red trench coat sighed, shook her head slightly, and said, "Some things are complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. I need to admit that it was my mistake to force you to agree to this condition before you even faced the ghost truck."

"But even though you've obtained your investigator's license, it's only the first step. There's still so much you need to learn, and what we promised you..."

She seemed to be considering what to say, wanting to propose some appealing conditions, but Han Su suddenly interrupted her: "Can you stop talking nonsense?"

The woman in the red trench coat was slightly taken aback, her expression turning angry: "What did you say?"

"I said, can you stop talking nonsense?"

Han Su looked directly into her eyes and said, "Teacher Li, you are a very busy person, but I also have things to do."

"I appreciate you taking the time to train me in mysterious powers, but that doesn't mean I'm in the mood to play house with you."

"I don't know who you're talking about, nor what he's up to, but if he wants to see me, he should come directly to me!"

"If he wants to make demands of me, he should come to me in person and tell me the reasons for making those demands."

"Don't waste everyone's time, and don't force your niece, who's practically half-mad, to do surveillance tasks that she's not suited for at all!"

He took a step back and said earnestly, "Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the base entrance, leaving the woman in the red trench coat standing there, her expression alternating between pale and red, looking extremely unpleasant.
