Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 164 Zhang Chiguo's Conspiracy
Han Su had to admit that he was a little scared.

He used to think that Miss Ai was a bit secretive and not straightforward enough, but now he only feels:
Isn't Miss Ai being a little too blatant now?
These are all Grade B...

Previously, Zhang Chiguo had specifically explained to himself the criteria for classifying tasks at different levels because he lacked reverence for these things.

C-level missions are already a meat grinder for executors, while B-level missions are the kind that investigators have to risk their lives for. Being classified as B-level is due to the threat it poses; reaching this level represents its impact on the existing defenses.

But now, it seems even cheaper than cabbage?
Even writing reports requires reaching a certain word count; otherwise, those few lines would be unworthy of this level.

On the first day, I completed four commissions.

On the second day, he broke his own record, completing six commissions in a single day.

By the third day, Han Su had processed a massive backlog of cases, reaching seventeen requests.

He broke the record of a certain freak who had become an independent investigator, severely damaging fourteen anomalies in three days, and became the new record holder in the three years since the establishment of the Disaster Management Bureau. The title of Butcher Investigator has overshadowed the entire Disaster Management Bureau in just three days.

During this process, his mental activity also increased rapidly.

Three days later, it had reached 69%.

Just a few days ago, the realm of gods seemed incredibly distant and mysterious, but now it's only a step away.

This development was somewhat unsettling for Han Su, who had been struggling to survive for so long…

Of course, compared to Han Su's surprise at this moment, the undercurrents within the Disaster Management Bureau were even more turbulent.

"That's fucking insane!"

"It's a shady deal, absolutely a shady deal!"

He was just a newcomer, someone who had only been with the Disaster Management Bureau for less than two months. How did he manage to solve so many tasks in such a short time, when other investigators were showing signs of resistance to the missions?

Not only were there unexpected events, but there were also many backlogged, difficult tasks, and they were all extraordinary crises of a high level, yet he solved them all by himself.

All the attention and spotlight have fallen on one person. What kind of situation is this?

If a newcomer can handle so many things, then what's the point of having so many investigators?
Driven by a subtle psychological urgency, the investigators, who were initially extremely confident in putting pressure on the disaster management bureau, began to sense a crisis. They realized they couldn't delay any longer, or rather, they had a growing sense that they dared not delay any longer...

The united front of the Disaster Management Bureau, which had been reached after countless secret discussions and exchanges of interests, seemed to have collapsed before it even began to exert its strength...

……

……

In Zhang Chiguo's office, who seemed to have grown several more gray hairs in the past three days, his face was gloomy when he received the report from Secretary Cui Qiao.

He was aware that those who didn't welcome him planned to force him to leave through passive resistance, and of course, he was prepared for the various problems and bleak situation that had arisen in Qinggang.

Then, when he opened the report, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Seize the young master?"

Zhang Chiguo almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

He knew that investigators were secretly allied against him and were already prepared to see a report with dismal data.

But in fact, the report submitted by Secretary Cui Qiao... how do you look at this data...?

...It seems a little too high?
Meeting Old Zhang's hesitant gaze, Secretary Cui Qiao said expressionlessly:
"You're not mistaken. When I saw it just now, it looked exactly like yours."

"But in fact, the data in the past few days is just like that. Not only has it not decreased compared to before, but it actually seems to be higher."

"It was your good nephew who did all the work!"

"Yes, don't stare, it's all true. He solved seventeen missions all by himself in just three days... I didn't have time to look closely at how he solved them, but there are indeed seventeen mission reports, all signed by him!"

"Among them, there were eleven B-level tasks, four C-level tasks, one D-level task, and one task that was submitted as a B-level task but was later deemed too valuable. He then resubmitted a report requesting that it be changed to an A-level task and that he be given appropriate compensation!"

"..."

After saying all that in one breath, she looked deeply at Zhang Chiguo and said, "I must congratulate you..."

"We've discovered a star investigator..."

"..."

"How is that possible? How could he possibly have such great abilities?"

Zhang Chiguo didn't even have time to be happy; his first thought was one of sudden worry: 'Has this kid really gone all out, risking his life to do this for me?'

As he carefully flipped through the report, Secretary Cui Qiao said again, "Stop flipping through it, he hasn't shown anything unusual."

"The ability to achieve this miraculous new record is entirely due to the stun gun, the pistol, the enforcer, the intelligence, the special weapons application, and his boldness and meticulousness."

Zhang Chiguo said, "How is that possible?"

Secretary Cui Qiao said, "That's what the report says anyway." Upon hearing this, Zhang Chiguo calmed down, slowly tapping his knuckles, and said in a low voice, "The report is flawless, but it's still too outrageous."

"So, you figured it out too?"

Secretary Cui lowered her voice and said, "Actually, the solution to these tasks relies on Miss Ai's strong insight, information gathering, and data analysis abilities."

"Only with her powerful computing ability could she do that."

"However, we have applied to the higher-ups countless times. Even this time when you were transferred down, your purpose was to find a reason to persuade the higher-ups to unlock Miss Ai's door, but you have been rejected by them all the time."

"Theoretically, Miss Ai's computing power should be at its saturation point at this moment, but she is showing signs of being completely at ease..."

"Could it be that, without our knowledge, the higher-ups have already..."

"..."

Zhang Chiguo knew what she was referring to and slowly shook his head: "The people above couldn't possibly unlock her."

Secretary Cui's expression also turned serious: "Then..."

Zhang Chiguo spoke in a low voice, a profound look hidden in his eyes: "Then perhaps, Miss Ai was hiding a portion of her computing power?"

"But if that's the case, why did she suddenly and unabashedly unleash this computing power at this time?"

"..."

Secretary Cui Qiao looked at the report, at the signatures of Han Su one after another, and it reminded her of something she had always suspected, but which was outside her scope of work and therefore she had never given much thought to:
"Could it be that she previously allocated some computing power to other things, and only now has she freed up that computing power to use for these tasks?"

"..."

Zhang Chiguo remained silent for a long time; this was also what he was most worried about.

If Miss Ai consistently has some redundant computing power, it means that those people above have been wrong in their judgment of Miss Ai; they have been underestimating her.

If Miss Ai had hidden this truth, it would have been understandable, but she has revealed it directly.

This shows what?
She didn't care at all whether the people above would notice her abnormality.
Thinking deeper, those in power, knowing full well that the Disaster Management Bureau has become distorted and bloated due to its rapid development, resolutely refuse to unlock Miss Ai's body, precisely because they want to control her with absolute means.

But now, Ms. Ai is showing that she already has at least one lock.

So, do those people have any way to lock Miss Ai up again?

The more crucial point is...

Zhang Chiguo's expression was deep and solemn: Miss Ai's computing power is the most mysterious weapon. Why would she use it on Han Su?
Similarly, Secretary Cui Qiao also has something she's unsure whether to mention: during a recent mission, an executor codenamed "Sparrow" accidentally died.

The death of an enforcer is not a big deal, even if that enforcer seemed to have a good chance of getting an investigator's license.

But she knew in her heart that she had just inadvertently revealed that the executor codenamed Sparrow was the contact person in the D7 attack incident, and coincidentally, she died silently, and even the reports she received were of her sacrificing her life in the mission.

Is it possible that the lady in the red trench coat is no longer able to protect her assistant during a C-level mission?

There were countless doubts, but she was even a little afraid to think about it.

If my guess is true, then this junior Zhang Tou is probably not the egg that's hitting the rock...

……

……

"Celebrity investigator, hey, what a celebrity investigator..."

In West City, the alcoholic investigator has just bought a bar and is using it as his headquarters.

The reason is simple: after the sparrows died, the owner of the Lilac Mansion became suspicious and no one dared to go there.

Looking at the series of reports confirming task completion, the drunken investigator knew exactly what it meant, and slammed his fist on the table in anger:
"They're not even going to act anymore?"

"..."

Others couldn't understand it; they were simply stunned by the young man who appeared at the crucial moment, instantly stealing all the attention and turning the turbulent situation within the Disaster Management Bureau into a joke.

But he saw it all clearly: it was all Zhang Chiguo's conspiracy!
This stone has finally come to its senses...

They actually used this method to turn the silent resistance of the disaster management bureau investigators into a joke.

It wasn't until this point that he realized what had happened: Zhang Chiguo was transferred down, then he quickly contacted the only survivor of the kidnapping case, brought that person in, and arranged for him to obtain an investigator's license in a very short time.

Step by step, shrewd and ruthless, and hitting his own weak spot!
Whether it's the survivor's unique identity or their current acting style, which completely disregards others' opinions, they all exude an indifferent, bachelor-like attitude...

Even that document—which hadn't appeared earlier or later, but was deliberately unearthed at this particular moment…

Zhang Chiguo is forcing himself down a dead end!
