"Those two were also there this morning, Xie Liansheng and Ma Mingcheng, it should be these two." Xingyu's voice reached Wushao's mind.

Wushao remained calm and said, "The itinerary stated that the two were patrolling nearby and arrived at the scene as soon as possible to provide reinforcements..."

"Have any other wizards witnessed this?"

"No, the two were on patrol as a team. After joining the battle, they followed the main force to clean up the mess... Then, because their stomachs were attacked by a Void Beast, they were infected with the alien substance and sent to the Demon Extermination Department."

Xingyu blinked. "If it weren't for what happened this morning, this information would be quite flawless..."

Wu Shao didn't look at her, but continued to look at the information in her hand. "At least these two don't have any other accomplices in the Anti-Demon Department... I don't want to see the department full of double agents."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. Legitimate wizards have such good benefits. What's the advantage of following a terrorist? Only a madman would do something like that."

"People are complicated..." Hearing Hoshino's dismissive tone, Uso simply smiled and sighed.

After exchanging ideas for a while and rehearsing their drafts, the two put down their manuscripts.

Zeng Que and Fang Chan both perked up, knowing that magical girls had a unique way of communicating, and that even some wizards could master this kind of magic.

It seems that Hoshino and Uso have finished communicating.

"Minister Fang, Supervisor Zeng, this information is quite detailed, thank you," Xingyu said first.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. This is what I should do. I still have things to ask of you from the Demon Department, don't I?" Fang Chan said very politely.

Because the other party's attitude was very good, Xingyu felt embarrassed to be too aggressive. She simply pointed out some questions one by one, and the other party said that they would continue to review the case and compile more detailed results.

"Can we take these two documents with us?" Xingyu asked.

"Of course! But please don't show this to people you can't trust. These are confidential organizational structures, and if they fall into the wrong hands..."

Xingyu was just asking politely, and Fang Chan certainly wouldn't refuse, since Xingyu's attitude during the day had already indicated that she would cooperate more deeply with the magical girl.

However, Xingyu misunderstood something slightly. The only people Fang Chan was truly willing to trust were Wushao and Xingyu, who was now capable of handling things on her own.

The other magical girls' mental states and abilities, as well as their attitudes toward the Anti-Magic Club, failed to gain the trust of the official authorities.

If Xingyu didn't value her relationship with the wizards so much, and if she weren't now the pillar of Fangzhou City's safety, she would never have been so accommodating to the Demon Department.

Fang Chan had known Wu Shao for several years, but she wasn't familiar with the other magical girls.

Regarding the traitor within the Demon Ministry, the magical girls have discovered some clues, but it's impossible to reveal them to others now. As for establishing a new defense system, everything will have to wait until new members join.

Having accomplished most of her main goals for the day, Xingyu patted her thigh and stood up. Wushao gave her a look, reminding her that she had forgotten something.

Ok?

Ah! Xingyu suddenly remembered Tang Ming and the list of several people's information, and took the opportunity to stand up and naturally bring it up.

"Oh! I almost forgot, I've been thinking about the wizard team, here it is."

Zeng Que seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He slapped his forehead, walked to the filing cabinet behind his desk, opened the cabinet door, and took out an even thicker stack of documents.

This contains biographical information on several people; this is the "weight" of their lives, much thicker than the previous two stacks of analysis reports.

Although Xingyu found it a little strange that the other party had put the documents in the cabinet, she didn't think too much about it. She had forgotten about it herself, so it was normal for the other party to forget as well.

"I'm sorry, this stack was just tidied up before you arrived, and my subordinates put it directly into the cabinet for me," Zeng Que explained.

"It's nothing, thank you." Xingyu nodded and didn't say anything more; she was even more interested in the information.

This interest had nothing to do with the mission and responsibilities of a magical girl; it was a voyeuristic desire that arose from the depths of her heart, which made her inexplicably nervous and also felt a little guilty.

But when she saw the detailed biographical information, timeline, address... her feeling of theft vanished completely, and she instead regretted not using the Anti-Demon Department to investigate the people around her sooner.

But she only thought about it. Such behavior for personal gain was very unethical. Moreover, the information would pass through official departments, which would greatly increase the risk of her true identity being exposed.

Zeng Que breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't suspect anything. He pursed his lips and grumbled to himself, "I thought she really forgot. She didn't even need to look at the information before leaving... And I even hid it."

However, he was not worried because his identity and travel arrangements had been made in advance. People in this line of work must be careful to avoid being followed and investigated at all times. However, what was somewhat unexpected was that Tang Ming had been "on the job" for less than a month when he was suspected and his file was searched.

That's a bit fast.

Wu Shao sat to one side with a half-smile. She couldn't see Xing Yu's thoughts, but she could guess them pretty accurately.

—The little sister must be very excited right now, just like catching a wife cheating on her husband in bed… Uh, I don’t think she should be excited.

"Ahem!" Wu Shao realized that her expression might have been a bit too audacious, so she adjusted her expression and stole a glance at Fang Chan and Zeng Que sitting on the other side.

Her eyes met Fang Chan's. Fang Chan raised an eyebrow and blinked, clearly having noticed her slightly perverted smile earlier.

Wu Shao immediately made a face and glared at the other person.

Before becoming the department head, Fang Chan had already worked in the Anti-Magic Department for quite some time. Her shrewdness and competence were not just for show. Fang Chan's excellent organizational skills were admired even by the magical girls she had worked with many times.

As a woman, and an ordinary person who knew no magic at all, she organized a wizarding team in Fangzhou City.

Recruiting powerful wizards, forming teams of two to five, training together, going on missions, maintaining a balance between wizards and ordinary people, building a city's security system... While it's not entirely her design, Fang Chan contributed the most to this effort.

Her election as minister was made possible by the unanimous approval and support of the magical girls.

Therefore... Wushao doesn't believe, and doesn't want to believe, that Fang Chan would do something that would cause internal strife in Fangzhou City. If there were a traitor within the Anti-Magic Department who wanted to harm the magical girls, Wushao doesn't think Fang Chan would know about it.

This is the trust they built together through countless times protecting the city.

However, Wushao did not convey this idea to Xingyu, as Xingyu was just a newcomer and trust needed to be rebuilt.

The problems with the Demon Clan are clearly significant. As an "old-timer," Wushao sometimes has too many concerns, so Xingyu might be a better choice to step in.

Xingyu, who was carefully reviewing the information, did not notice the expressions and thoughts of the other three people. She quickly skimmed through the information of the first few people and got a general understanding of their information.

Because it was so detailed, she couldn't find any clues at once and planned to study it slowly when she got back.

Finally, on page 42, Tang Ming's color portrait appeared in the upper right corner of the A4 paper; this was Tang Ming's personal file.

She glanced at the identity information casually; it was indeed her husband, and she could even see the name "Lin Ruoyu" in the spouse section.

Wedding date: Three years ago.

Xingyu's right eye twitched, and she gripped the paper even tighter with her fingers.
