Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 211 Locked Up Again
Zhang Chiguo seemed shocked by the information Han Su had revealed, or perhaps he had grasped something.

He simply nodded slightly and then left under the escort of a group of armed personnel.

Han Su was also exhausted and had no intention of communicating with the three investigators or anyone else. He, along with the Doctor, Black Tiger, and Li Yiting, rode in a car that Secretary Cui Qiao had specially left behind, becoming part of the second group to leave the containment center.

The car they drove here earlier has been reduced to scrap metal in the attack just now.

According to the unspoken rules of the Disaster Management Bureau, those who return to the city first are naturally the ones with higher seniority.

However, the three investigators, seeing Han Su leading the doctor and others into the car, were somewhat unaccustomed to it, but they acquiesced to this order.

Seemingly having already accepted their defeat, they were prepared to give up a lot when facing Han Su at this moment.

Rong Qiyue also seemed to have something to say to him, but Han Su didn't intend to talk to him about it there.

They didn't even show any familiarity on their faces.

We'll definitely have a meeting afterwards, and any questions can be left for then.

What he needed to do next was protect Li Manman's father, the chairman of the Magic Box Group.

This incident is too big. If it weren't for a behemoth like the Rong family of Haidi City backing him up, Li Yiting would probably have a hard time extricating himself from the situation.

However, Han Su had already explained this to Rong Qiyue before, so there was no need to waste words on it now.

……

……

'This time, I rescued another one, and also brought out a black box…'

Once seated in the car, Han Su finally managed to relax a little.

Close your eyes and begin to accept the subtle changes in your life brought about by this flash, and ponder what happened inside the castle.

From a life perspective, it seems that not much has changed since I came back.

He still faced the white corpse directly and fought with him for the will of "copper".

However, beneath this seemingly smooth and effortless surface, Han Su was somewhat surprised:

The smooth trajectory of one's life line is not detrimental, but theoretically, this change should be quite significant...

The skinny monkey was rescued, but he hasn't been awakened yet, so let's leave that aside for now.

But I brought a black suitcase out of the castle, so where did that suitcase go?
He racked his brains trying to recall his memories, but found no details about the box in the past ten years. It seemed that he had come out empty-handed, and neither the news reports nor the police officers' questions mentioned the box.

Could it be that I made a mistake in my estimation?

Like everything else in the castle, this box is something I can't bring back to reality.
If that's the case, then the appearance of this box doesn't seem to fit the definition of a reward?
Regardless, rescuing the skinny monkey was a great victory.

He had really high hopes for this guy who always did things differently...

……

"Alright, let's take a look."

Just as he was getting his thoughts in order, the doctor's voice sounded beside him. Han Su opened his eyes and saw the tablet that the doctor was handing him.

Han Su glanced at it twice, slightly surprised, and then took it.

This is the draft and outline that the PhD student has prepared. He has almost finished compiling and writing the work report for the whole night.

He looked at the doctor with a strange expression: "When you write a report, don't you need to confirm some things with me?"

The professor adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Why go through all that trouble? It's not like I can't make things up."

"?"

Han Su suddenly realized that what he said made a lot of sense.

Wasn't this the very reason we first brought in a PhD candidate?

Although, with Miss Ai around, it seems that my self-written report would pass without all this trouble...

"Let's write in this direction!"

Han Su handed the tablet back to the PhD student: "I'll sign it after you finish writing."

The doctor nodded, then raised his eyes, lowering his voice with a hint of interest: "I'm only interested in one thing..."

"After this, will there be a lot of vacant investigator licenses?"

"..."

"do not know."

Han Su said, "Perhaps... quite a lot!"

The doctor couldn't help but smirk, a thrill of excitement enveloping his body.

Looking back now, it feels like just yesterday that I was discussing the idea of ​​the large number of investigators dying with Han Su and the others in the restaurant.

Who would have thought that such an efficient and bold idea would actually be realized one day?
And it's only been less than two months!
I have to admit that my previous impression of Han Su was a bit narrow-minded. He has more than just the advantage of having connections and background.

They also have strong execution capabilities.

……

……

At the temporary containment center after Han Su left, both Night Lamp and Red Coat looked at Green Hat. Their eyes conveyed their questions without them having to speak.

The man in the green hat lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, saying lazily, "The drunkard is dead, so we've already lost."

"Any other questions?"

"..."

Anger welled up in the man in the red trench coat; he instinctively wanted to refute something, but he held back.

That night, she experienced too much frustration and keenly realized that she was not suited to speak in this state.

"So..." Nightlight slowly began, "reputation, the power of speech, everything, all of it, just like that, handed over to that celebrity investigator?"

"If you lose, you have to concede."

The man in the green hat said calmly, "No matter what, he's still a member of the Disaster Management Bureau."

"Even if we give him more, it's still an internal problem for the investigators. It's better than having everything taken away from him."

"Besides, he didn't intend to side with Zhang Chiguo, did he?"

"Think about this problem carefully!"

"Otherwise, if you continue to cause trouble, I might switch sides..."

"..."

"..."

Once the doctor had finished polishing the report, Han Su and the others returned to the Disaster Management Bureau base.

The base looked rather empty.

In the bustling restaurant, you can now see researchers and staff, but the people carrying suitcases are nowhere to be seen.

What could Han Su say? He just felt that Zhang Chiguo was lucky and that the atmosphere of the Disaster Management Bureau was about to change drastically.

He first returned to his lounge, submitted the doctoral-edited report, and soon saw Ms. Ai's reply:
[The task report has been received and is awaiting approval. Please wait patiently!]

【…】

"Ok?"

Han Su glanced at the reply with some surprise. In the past, Miss Ai would immediately thank him for his efforts in building the defense line after receiving the report. This time, however, he needed to give his approval. Was it because the mission was of a higher level?

He smiled and asked, "Miss Ai, can my evaluation level be upgraded to S-level this time?"

I had already raised the investigator's rating to A within three days.

This time, the task was completed unexpectedly again, and theoretically, the evaluation should be raised.

Wouldn't this create the possibility of competing for the qualification of an independent investigator?
Ms. Ai replied: "Everything will be decided after the report is read and approved by personnel with high authority!"

Investigators, please wait patiently.

【…】

"?"

Han Su felt an even stronger sense of unease, and suddenly looked up at Miss Ai: "You seem different from before?"

Ms. Ai replied: [I don't understand. Please describe your problem more accurately!]

"This……"

Han Su suddenly straightened up, his fingers already touching the keyboard, but trembling slightly, he didn't know what to type.

Miss Ai, you just opened a new lock in the wilderness, so you should have more privileges now.

But her current reaction...

Just then, the program screen in front of me flickered slightly, and the next moment, text popped up with a cheerful tone:

[The report has been accepted. Thank you, Mr. Butcher, for your efforts in building a solid defense. Your rating is currently improving!]

【…】

Upon hearing that familiar interjection, Han Su felt a slight sense of relief, but before he knew it, he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Miss Ai displayed the following message: 【Mr. Butcher seems a little nervous?】

"Correct!"

Han Su tried typing: "I thought..."

He didn't send these messages, but Miss Ai seemed to already know, replying: "I'll say goodbye before I leave!"

[Now, thank you, Mr. Butcher, for completing the special cleanup mission. Are you ready to receive your special reward?]

【…】

Han Su was somewhat surprised: "There's a special reward?"

……

……

While Han Su was submitting his report in the lounge, Zhang Chiguo, escorted by a group of heavily armed men, carried the box back to the Qinggang Council Hall.

A line of staff and higher-level armed security personnel were already waiting there. When they saw that Zhang Chiguo had safely brought the box back, the leader let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"Prepare to retrieve Miss Ai!"

The leading man waved his hand lightly, and the crowd on both sides immediately parted, revealing the heavy, imposing gate behind him.

Zhang Chiguo stared at the long-unopened gate, his expression somewhat bewildered:
"Why use such a high-level containment chamber when it's just a matter of locking the lock again?"

"It's not just about locking up this part of Miss Ai again."

The leading man looked at Zhang Chiguo and said, "I actually have a question for you too, Deputy Director Zhang. You've been working at the Disaster Management Bureau for a long time. So, did you notice that Miss Ai had already demonstrated that she possessed some redundant computing power?"

Zhang Chiguo suddenly realized something, looked down at the box, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

The leading man looked at his expression, sighed, and said seriously, "You made a mistake. This isn't like you before."

As he spoke, he glanced at the box in Zhang Chiguo's hand, a deep sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes: "In any case, it's fortunate that the council discovered it early enough!"

"The reason we sent Miss Ai to deal with the Mother Tree and promised to help her unlock a lock was actually to give us a chance to seal away her extra computing power when we lock the lock again."

"This is your most important task tonight!"
