Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

Behind an extremely shabby auto repair shop, in a narrow alley, there's a small table under a awning, a very basic coffee stall.

Zhou Hong slowly sipped his coffee, sitting opposite Clara, who looked stunning no matter how casually she dressed. She wore a light floral chiffon blouse, snow-white trousers that accentuated her long, beautiful legs, and white flat casual shoes, her exposed white insteps were so alluring.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Clara asked.

Zhou Hong cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing."

I felt a pang of shame. I had actually thought that when I was on vacation, I would stop by Sydney and have someone arrange for Australia's top supermodel to spend a night with me to vent my frustration.

He glared at Clara. Had this girl really managed to seduce him like this?

But I don't know why, I guess I still like being colleagues with her, and I really don't want this relationship to change.

"Clara, have you ever thought about entering the entertainment industry? With your looks and figure, it's a waste for you to be a lawyer."

"Whatever, do you have connections? Or are you going to pay me to promote you?" Clara said with a smile.

Zhou Hong was speechless. If anyone else had spoken to her like that, they would have been blacklisted as "objectifying women" long ago.

"Forget it, you're all lawyers, you were born to do this." Zhou Hong picked up his coffee cup.

I only learned now that Clara has an aunt who is also in the support mission, serving as an international judge.

Clara's internship at the university led her to join the support team as a volunteer, likely partly due to a letter of recommendation from her aunt.

However, his aunt has always worked in the UK and is a Lord Chancellor.

Clara's mother is Australian, and her father immigrated to Australia after meeting her.

This is all information from Xiao Du. Clara's aunt, Judge Shirley, is also one of the four beauties that Xiao Du listed. She is also the one who made Gao Tiejun look helpless, saying that she is already forty years old.

The satellite phone rang. Zhou Hong answered, said a few words, and then stood up. "Let's go!"

……

A dozen minutes later, Zhou Hong and Clara appeared outside the slum not far away.

In this chaotic community of rudimentary wooden shacks, even abandoned metal shipping containers are considered decent places to live.

The living conditions here are probably worse than those in refugee camps. The only difference is that the indigenous people of this community own the land here.

A chubby, dark-skinned man covered in tattoos, with even his bald head adorned with ferocious designs, was now bowing and scraping beside Zhou Hong.

His name is "Lai," which is pronounced in Teton and means "sea."

Lai didn't know why this big boss wanted to come to his house to talk, but it was a golden opportunity. If he did well, he might be able to turn his life around and never have to mingle with poor pigs and dogs again.

Lai works as a mechanic at a nearby auto repair shop. Yesterday, after fixing a car for a visitor, the visitor chatted with him and they hit it off. The visitor then decided to give him a job. The visitor's boss had a batch of diesel fuel that he wanted to sell in Dili. Lai works at the auto repair shop, so he's considered an insider and has connections.

Actually, these were just things "Lai" casually boasted about during a chat, but they unexpectedly came in very useful.

"Lai" isn't worried about his boasting going wrong. In Dili, there are too many people who were small-time hoodlums yesterday but became high-class figures the next day.

As long as he has diesel fuel in stock, how could such a scarce commodity possibly be stuck in his hands?

Unexpectedly, the big boss insisted on meeting him, which was a good thing. However, the big boss wanted to meet him at his home to talk, and his tone was very casual, which made "Lai" feel uneasy for some reason. But no matter what, he could not refuse.

"Don't worry, heroes don't ask about origins. I'm not what you think. So what if you live in a villa now? That would make me a little worried." Zhou Hong patted "Lai" on the shoulder with a smile as he walked. The system would translate phrases like "heroes don't ask about origins" into slang similar to German.

"Ah, yes, yes!" "Lai" was overjoyed and instantly understood what the "boss" meant. Yes, the reason why this new boss of Dili didn't cooperate with other smugglers was that he wanted to establish his own base. Therefore, he preferred to cooperate with people like him who hadn't yet made a fortune but had channels and abilities.

Looking at Lai's expression, Zhou Hong felt nothing. In his mind, Lai was a dead man anyway.

He was one of the five thugs, and likely the actual leader among them.

The true leader of a small group is not necessarily the one who appears the most powerful or whose words carry the most weight.

Of these five, the one with the highest status is undoubtedly the most outstanding and popular henchman in "Black Ants" right now, named Dili, which literally means "loyal."

But from a psychological perspective, the "dominant" among the five thugs is definitely this "Lai".

According to the original case file, none of the escalating harm inflicted on the poor girl was suggested or initiated by "Lai," but almost every time it came from his hints.

A group of people were strolling down the street when they encountered a little girl walking by. One of them said, "We're so pitiful, none of us have girlfriends."

That's when "Dili" went up to chat her up, and that's when the evil deeds began.

"Boss, we're here!" Lai suddenly said with a smile, pointing ahead.

Lai's home was considered relatively well-off; it was an abandoned tin shack covered with white plastic boxes and wooden planks to prevent it from being exposed to direct sunlight.

……

When they left Lai's house, Lai humbly saw them off for a long distance.

At the street corner, Zhou Hong and Clara got into a taxi. After turning a few corners, the taxi stopped, and there was a Land Rover on the side of the road.

"Boss, this guy is disgusting. I felt like throwing up the whole time at his place..." The refreshing lemon scent inside the Land Rover finally made Clara let out a long sigh.

Zhou Hong nodded: "Actually, it's not that you're physically disgusted. It's just that the house is really dirty. There are too many dried bloodstains from different periods of time. He thought he had washed them all off with water, but with current technology, those bloodstains can be found very quickly."

As he spoke, Zhou Hong looked at the system interface, where the "Dharma Eye (Enhanced)" effect was still active.

"Focus" becomes the "Insight" buff after the physical upgrade.

After such "enhancement", Zhou Hong felt that he was actually somewhat like a humanoid detector.

Those residual blood molecules that are invisible to the naked eye require chemical reactions to form or to be revealed under ultraviolet light.

With the "Enhanced Eye of Dharma" buff, my naked eye seems to have a richer visible spectrum, and I can see the natural fluorescence produced by the oxidation of residual blood molecules without needing a UV lamp.

"Oh, really? Boss, how did you know?" Clara asked, her face full of surprise.

"You know I know Chinese Kung Fu. Actually, we also have an internal skill. When you reach a high level, your eyes will also become different. I'll find you some martial arts novels later so you can learn about them."

As he spoke, Zhou Hong started the car. "Go back to the office and ask the criminal police to check the files and see about the missing persons cases in Dili over the past few months."

If there's a case, then "Lai" becomes a suspect, and only then can one sign off on sending criminal police to conduct a search.

In the context of the Portuguese civil law system, prosecutors have considerable power, and they can independently issue search warrants for a wide range of purposes.

Searches of ordinary residences, vehicles, and commercial premises; searches and seizures of personal belongings and electronic devices of criminal suspects; immediate searches in emergency situations (meeting legal emergency requirements, such as preventing the destruction of evidence); routine evidence collection activities in the early stages of an investigation that do not require judicial intervention, etc.

However, the only necessary prerequisite is that there must be a case, and the person being searched must be related to the case.

He went to great lengths to get to know "Lai" and obtain permission to enter his residence.

Instead of sneaking in, they also followed legal procedures as much as possible.

At the same time, it was also to destroy Lai's psychological defenses in the future. He thought he was Lai's god of wealth, but he turned out to be Lai's most terrible enemy. You can imagine the psychological torment he suffered.

Since no case has been filed yet, it is not against the rules to contact "Lai" using a false identity.

If a case is filed and registered under my office's name, and he is a suspect, then I have a legal obligation to disclose my identity to him if I meet with him privately.

……

From afternoon to evening, the staff of Prosecutor Hong's office were "working overtime" and reviewing reports of missing persons.

In the past few months, hundreds of people have gone missing in Dili.

These are the cases that have been reported and are officially recorded as missing. But how many have vanished without a trace?

Especially due to the presence of refugees, the number of foreign residents who have actually disappeared in Dili is impossible to count.

Therefore, matching Lai's life traces over the past few months with missing persons who may have had contact with him is extremely difficult.

Zhou Hong also planned to ultimately choose the missing person most likely to be related to "Lai" to file a case.

"Boss, I saw this necklace in 'Lai's' photos with his ex-girlfriend!" Clara suddenly screamed, running to Zhou Hong with a photo of a missing girl, pointing to the necklace around the girl's neck. "It's this one! I've looked at it several times, it's this one!"

It's a very common blue pendant necklace; the "blue gemstone" is probably made of plastic.

The girl's parents reported her missing five months ago, even before the tragic incident.

"It's this..." Zhou Hong immediately made a judgment in his mind, because he could still recall the scene of the object that his "enhanced Dharma Eye" had observed in great detail.

He glanced at Clara with surprise: "How do you know it's definitely an object?" He was enhanced by the system, and Clara was so certain; she really had something going for her.

"I took a closer look at the decorations and stuff. I clearly remember that the necklace that ex-girlfriend wore in the photo at that house had a slightly frayed edge on the third section, exactly the same as the missing girl's." Clara bit her red lips. "Boss, believe me, really!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Zhou Hong nodded. "Then, let's see what terrible experiences this poor girl has had..."

Among the people in the office, some were surprised, while others sighed and remained silent.
