Chapter 76 We Must Be Wary

Li Jiuhe now knows that, according to the degree of harm, sequencers or sequenced objects can be classified from low to high as ordinary level, regional level, city-destroying level, country-destroying level, and even world-destroying level.

But this is only from the perspective of danger.

It's not necessarily true that ordinary-level Sequencers can't kill Regional-level ones.

Therefore, within each hazard level, "special sequence individuals" are further distinguished.

This type of special sequence user is quite strong. Their individual strength is beyond doubt. Even at the ordinary level, they can easily kill sequence users at the regional level or above.

However, unlike regional-level sequencers, they cannot cause widespread harm to ordinary people in a very short period of time.

For example, of the three investigators in the special operations team, two were regional level, but the third belonged to a special sequence.

Classifying individuals with special sequences by their degree of harm is meaningless, but no investigator dares to underestimate their strength.

According to Xu Wei, every city's investigation bureau has a powerful special operations team, which is a team under the direct command of the bureau chief.

However, she had never heard of special operations teams in other cities frequently escalating their investigations of suspects to the level of ordinary teams.

This is why Liu Qian was so furious and wanted to find the bureau chief to get to the bottom of things.

Otherwise, if future cases continue to be handled this way, the special operations team will intercept every result, and no one in the regular teams will be able to get any rewards or even earn merit.

This is extremely damaging to the working environment of the Bureau of Investigation.

……

Wangchuan City Special Incident Investigation Bureau, Director's Office.

Director Meng Chao was a slightly overweight, tall man, about fifty years old.

He sat expressionlessly in a large, comfortable office chair, with a plate of sandalwood incense next to his desk, its fragrance filling the entire office.

Liu Qian did not calm down after smelling the sandalwood scent; she remained agitated and quickly explained the reason while standing in front of Meng Chao's desk.

However, after talking for a while, she realized something was wrong, because the director's face remained expressionless, and she couldn't see any emotion on his face.

Standing beside her, Chen Zhenghai gently tugged at Liu Qian's hem.

Liu Qian stopped abruptly, looking at Meng Chao with surprise: "Director, you didn't arrange for the special operations team to escalate the investigation, did you?"

Meng Chao nodded: "It was my arrangement. I've already reviewed the case files for two cases. The cases are clearly very complex, and your regular team can't handle them. Only a higher-level investigation can solve them."

"But we've been following this for a long time, and we know very well..."

Before Liu Qian could finish speaking, Meng Chao waved his hand to interrupt her: "Liu Qian, I know you're the only investigator in the regular team to have received a merit award. But other cases are equally important, and the special operations team is currently only handling this case and doing nothing else. Can you manage that?"

Liu Qian was speechless for a moment.

They simply couldn't do that, since they had other cases to handle. However, this particular case clearly had many clues to uncover and could be prioritized. Of course, other cases still needed to be dealt with, but they could be postponed a little.

A typical investigation team consists of only a few people, and when handling multiple cases, it's impossible to overlook one or the other.

At this moment, besides the three of them, there was another person sitting on the sofa on the other side of the director's office.

This was a man with a buzz cut, who was tall and burly, with arms as thick as Chen Zhenghai's waist.

The sofa could normally seat four people, but after this person sat down, there was only enough space for one person.

He chuckled: "Captain Liu, Captain Chen, don't get excited. The Special Operations Team is different from you. We have plenty of time to investigate this case thoroughly. We'll let you know as soon as we have any leads. If we really don't have enough manpower, we'll need your help."

"How do you plan to investigate?"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Qian turned to look at the burly man sitting on the sofa.

The burly man was named Tang Sheng, and he was the leader of the special operations team.

He smiled and shook his head: "It's not convenient to disclose anything before we take action."

"Then can we meet with the suspect again?" Chen Zhenghai asked, taking over the conversation.

Tang Sheng did not answer, but looked at Director Meng Chao.

Meng Chao said, "Because the suspect still needs to be interrogated by the special operations team, it won't be possible for the next two days. The mastermind is very likely to use someone else to kill the suspect, and we need to minimize that probability as much as possible."

"Director, I would like to request another meeting with Yu Minmin in two weeks," Chen Zhenghai said directly.

This is precisely the time when Yu Minmin's causal connection is restored.

Meng Chao nodded: "Submit your application to me three days in advance, and I'll make the arrangements."

As Liu Qian left the director's office, she was still seething with anger, and simply walked with her head down, not wanting to say a word.

Chen Zhenghai lagged half a step behind her, glanced at Liu Qian's back, his brows furrowed slightly, and his back twitched involuntarily.

He could feel the director's gaze fixed on him until it was blocked by the corridor wall.

Back in his office, before Li Jiuhe and the others could ask, Chen Zhenghai said to everyone, "You've all worked hard these past two days. No need to work overtime today. Come on, I'll treat you to a nice meal."

"it is good."

"Thank you, Team Leader Chen."

Although the other group members really wanted to ask what the result was, they had to put their thoughts aside for the time being after hearing what Chen Zhenghai said.

Then Chen Zhenghai patted Li Jiuhe on the shoulder: "We can talk about the questions you want to ask during dinner later."

When Li Jiuhe and his team left the office, they found that the office of Group One was locked, indicating that everyone had left.

It seems that Director Meng Chao's approach has indeed dampened the enthusiasm of these ordinary investigation teams to some extent.

The group chose a private room at a casual restaurant, ordered their food, and also asked for a case of beer.

While waiting for the food, Chen Zhenghai recounted his experience in the bureau chief's office, and everyone else remained silent.

Only Li Jiuhe asked, "Has Director Meng always been like this?"

Chen Zhenghai shook his head with a half-smile: "Not usually."

"Then why..." Li Jiuhe asked, somewhat surprised.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhenghai suddenly turned his head to look at the corner of the private room, where the curtains were drawn to cover the seat.

He raised his hand to interrupt Li Jiuhe from continuing to ask, his brows furrowing slightly: "Is there... a cat there?"

Everyone turned to look in the direction he was looking, and soon a tabby cat gracefully emerged from behind the curtains. It meowed softly and then raised its right paw to lick itself.

"Xu Wei, go ask if this cat belongs to the shop owner?"

Xu Wei got up and left the private room, and a waiter followed her in a short while later.

The waiter kept saying "I'm sorry" and quickly went over to pick up the tabby cat, preparing to leave.

"Is this the cat your hotel keeps?" Chen Zhenghai asked.

The waiter hurriedly said, "It's fed by our boss. We don't know how it got into the private room. We're so sorry, everyone. We'll serve you your food right away."

As the room door closed, Chen Zhenghai smiled and waved to Li Jiuhe: "Let's not talk about what happened earlier. Come find me after you start work tomorrow."

Li Jiuhe was full of doubt, wondering what had caused Chen Zhenghai to suddenly change his mind.

Seeing his confusion, Xu Wei, who was sitting next to him, leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "There's an investigator in the special team, everyone calls her—Catwoman."
