"Well, there's still not much progress on the investigation team's side. Yang Wan shook her head and replied.

"Why haven't you yet?" Li Xing suddenly frowned.

After he took office, he tripled the size of the investigation team, which was the most streamlined in the branch, so that the first priority of the information team was to cooperate with the investigation team, increase the investigation of various abnormal incidents, and at the same time search for those awakened criminals who were hiding in society.

But after such a long time, except for the two first-time offenders who had only awakened for a long time, the other awakened criminals that Li Xing wanted were not found.

The two first-time offenders only committed some trivial things, plus the imperial regulations, Li Xing didn't do anything to them, but only punished them according to the regulations. If it weren't for the fact that one of the guys died, was taken to the branch and injured people in an attempt to escape, Li Xing killed him on the spot, and only then did he gain a few potentials.

But this is still far from keeping up with his expectations.

"Is it because those guys who were transferred from the combat group didn't work hard?" Li Xing's face sank, and he looked at Yang Wan and asked.

The members of the newly expanded investigation team are all transferred from the combat team, because as an investigator, they must often deal with various abnormal events, and they must have the minimum ability to protect themselves, which ordinary people cannot compete.

In line with the idea of weakening the power in the hands of Wan Chuan's three people, Li Xing not only broke up the original several formations of the combat group, but also selected elite members from them and transferred them to the investigation team to increase the size of the investigation team, killing two birds with one stone.

Now that the size of the investigation team has doubled, and the information team and other departments are also fully cooperating with their work, the efficiency has not improved at all, which has to make Li Xing wonder which link has gone wrong.

The first thing he suspected was the members of the new investigation team, or the Wan Chuan and Qin Henian behind them.

Although those two guys have always been honest under his violent deterrence, Li Xing knows in his heart that they are just disguised as this posture, and they don't know what tricks they are doing behind their backs.

"Master, you blame them for this. Yang Wan was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a wry smile: "How dare they fool you." ”

In just a few days, Li Xing took action to abolish seven or eight members of the combat team who were slacking off like before, including three F-level members, and he was ruthless.

So much so that now the entire branch is talking about Li Sechang, and in the past few days, I can't even see a person who arrives late and leaves early.

"Otherwise?" Li Xing raised his eyebrows.

"Although the investigation team has doubled in size, because the level of review has been lowered, compared with the original members of the investigation team, the new investigators are not half a point worse in terms of overall quality and personal level.

And the time is too short, in the past few days, those new members of the investigation team are basically still in a run-in period, plus the door owner you disrupted the original small group of the investigation team, changed to the old people with new people, so that the original investigators did not have the original close cooperation with their companions, and the efficiency of work was inevitably reduced a lot. ”

Li Xing leaned back and rubbed his eyebrows.

"So, it's because the time is too short. He whispered with his eyes closed.

Yang Wan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "But it's been a bit unusual for a while, though......"

"Huh?" Li Xing opened his eyes, "What do you say?"

"Recently, Dongsheng City seems to be a little too peaceful. Yang Wan had a hesitation on her face.

"Too peaceful?" Li Xing was stunned.

"Hmm. Yang Wan nodded, "The frequency of the outbreak of various anomalous events is almost one-third or even less than the previous one, as if those awakened and xenomorphs have evaporated. ”

"When did this begin?"

Li Xing's expression became serious.

Yang Wan thought carefully for a while, and then said: "This sign has begun to appear since the end of last year, when the old sect master Shu was still there, and all kinds of abnormal events gradually decreased, and after the old master passed away, the frequency of the outbreak of those abnormal events dropped to this extremely low level and stabilized. ”

"So it started more than half a year ago?" asked Li Xing.

Yang Wan nodded.

Li Xing glanced at her: "You didn't report this situation to the head office?"

If she had reported it to the head office and investigated this matter, she wouldn't have to mention it to herself at this time.

"Nope. Yang Wan lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Because the frequency of the outbreak of abnormal events is linked to the performance of the branch, everyone ...... at that time."

She didn't go on.

Li Xing shook his head, pressed his eyebrows and didn't speak for a while, his mind was running quickly, thinking about what kind of reason existed behind this matter.

After a moment, he sat up straight and muttered, "Have those awakened people on the key watch list made any changes recently?"

The key monitoring list is all considered to be at risk with extremely uncontrollable factors after psychological assessment and behavioral analysis, but they have not yet been able to violate the regulations, and these people need to be monitored at all times to prevent sudden outbreaks from causing huge damage to society.

"There have been no reports of this for the time being, and there are no anomalies. Yang Wan replied.

"Intensify their surveillance, focusing on the people they come into contact with on a daily basis, and if there are people who are acting suspiciously, I need to know their identity and purpose. Li Xing commanded.

"Yes. ”

Although she didn't understand why Li Xing suddenly gave such an order, Yang Wan quickly responded.

Li Xing said lightly: "Let's go down." ”

Yang Wan bowed slightly and left the office.

Watching the metal door slowly close, Li Xing leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly downcast.

The reason why such an order was given was because he suspected that an organization of the Awakened had appeared in Dongsheng City.

It is impossible for those anomalous events to disappear for no reason, and the only explanation is that the awakened people who created these events have joined a certain force and their behavior is restricted.

It seems like a good thing, but the Empire has made it clear that the Awakened are not allowed to join any organization other than the Shadow Ministry.

Many of the Awakened are reluctant to join the Shadow Ministry and be constrained by the Empire, and these Awakened are brought together by some people with ulterior motives to form organizations that use their abilities to fulfill their ambitions, causing great disruption and destruction to secular society.

These Awoken organizations, which are active all over the Empire, are the main targets of the Empire's attack and elimination!

If it is really the Awakened organization, those dangerous awakened people on the key monitoring list will definitely become the target of the Awakened organization, so Li Xing asked Yang Wan to send people to focus on the people they usually contact to see if they can get some clues.

"The Awakened Organization ......" Li Xing's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Then he exhaled lightly and stopped thinking about it.

Until the investigation is inconclusive, it is useless to think about it.

Li Xing raised his right hand, and the black ring was quietly wearing on his middle finger.

Last night, he used this ring to turn twenty-two ordinary people into awakened ones in one night, and all of them were harvested and transformed into potential.

But again, problems arise.

Li Xing found that after so many uses, the ring was faintly dim.

Although the ring itself was unpretentious, looking like it was made of ordinary black iron, he sensitively noticed that the luster of the ring had faded a little.

So it doesn't seem like the ring can be used indefinitely.

This discovery couldn't help but disappoint Li Xing.

But fortunately, according to the current situation, the ring is still some way from being completely dimmed, and until then, it can still provide at least close to two hundred potentials.

Li Xing put away the ring, turned on the computer to call up the information of the information group, inquired about the information of those villains and criminals in Dongsheng City, and determined the plan goal for tonight.

......

......

In an estate on the outskirts of the city.

A young man with half-squinted eyes, soaking in a steaming artificial hot spring, is enjoying the massage service of two mixed-race beauties in swimsuits next to him.

While enjoying the massage, he also reached out to tease them from time to time, which made the two girls angry, and the young man laughed.

Da, da, da......

A delicate female secretary wearing a black silk skirt with a bumpy figure walked in briskly from the outside in high heels.

"Boss, have your phone. The female secretary handed over a mobile phone in both hands.

The young man glanced at his mobile phone, and when he saw the call, his smile eased, he took the phone, and said to the women at the same time, "You go out first." ”

The two mixed-race beauties left the hot spring with great interest and followed the female secretary outside.

"Hey. He answered the phone, and there was no smile in his eyes.

"Li Jinlai and Cai Xu in Longsheng District are dead. The voice on the other side was low.

"Li Jinlai and Cai Xu?" the young man was slightly puzzled at first, and then quickly found these two people from his memory.

He frowned, "How did they die?"

The young man does not care about the life or death of the two gangsters, but the death of the two means that there are two stable downstream channels missing.

"Not just the two of them, but their men, twenty-two in all, all died. The other side continued.

"What?!" the young man's pupils narrowed.

"I suspect that someone is targeting us, you send someone to investigate secretly. ”

"I know, I'll do it. The young man replied in a deep voice.

Hanging up, he walked out of the hot springs and strode outside.

......

......

Two days later in the evening.

On Fuyang Avenue in Jinyuan District, there is an endless stream of vehicles, and in the dense traffic, four black luxury cars line up in a line, moving quickly towards the front.

Li Xing, dressed in a custom-made dress, sat in the back seat of the second car, leaning back on the soft backrest.

It is the first time he has used this high-profile way of travel since he took office.

Li Xing casually looked at the scenery flying outside the window, while browsing the information on the attribute panel in his sight.

Now the deepest martial arts he has practiced is the Invisible Yin Gang, which has reached the fifth level, and Li Xing guesses that the sixth or seventh level is the Dacheng realm.

However, the potential needed now is also a large amount, from the third level to the fifth level, he has spent a full thirty-six potentials, and if he wants to think of the next level, the potential he needs will only be more.

The number of potential points needed was too huge, so Li Xing was considering whether to improve the rest of the martial arts first, or slowly accumulate to that level and raise the Invisible Yin Gang to the strongest.

While Li Xing was pondering, he suddenly found that the car slowly stopped.

He looked up, and was still a long way from the traffic light.

"Why did you stop?" Li Xing was slightly puzzled.

"I don't know why it's blocked, someone has already gone over to check the situation. The driver quickly replied.

When Li Xing heard this, he directly pushed the car door and stepped out of the car.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a man in a suit walking briskly from the front.

"Sir, there was just a car accident on the road ahead, and we may have to wait a while. The man in the suit said quickly.

"Just had a car accident?" Li Xing frowned and looked into the distance ahead.

As soon as he arrived, he was stuck in a car accident on the road ahead.

This is a bit of a coincidence.

Li Xing faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

His eyes were slightly heavy, and he walked quickly towards the car accident in front of him, and his subordinates hurriedly followed.

Soon came to the intersection where the car accident occurred, and saw a large truck overturned on the road, next to two seriously damaged cars parked on the side, three cars just blocked most of the road, it looked a bit serious.

Many car owners and passers-by gathered around, waiting for the arrival of the traffic police while discussing the cause of the car accident.

The truck did not slow down when it crossed the green light, but unexpectedly a car suddenly ran a red light, in order not to hit the car, the truck driver hit the steering wheel sharply, and as a result, it rolled over, and also wiped two cars in the same industry.

And the real culprit drove away directly after running the red light, and now he is missing.

Li Xing listened to everyone's discussions, and suddenly felt a peeping gaze.

He turned his head sharply, and at a glance he saw an ordinary-looking passerby man staring at him in the crowd on the side of the road.

After seeing Li Xing suddenly look at him, the man's face panicked, and he turned around and drilled out of the crowd.

Li Xing's eyes were cold, and he rushed towards the man.

......

Meanwhile, outside the Triumph Hotel.

On the wide road, one after another luxury cars kept coming from a distance, stopping outside the hotel, men and women in various dresses stepped out of the car, stepping on the red carpet from the hotel to the roadside, talking and laughing all the way to the hotel.

The hotel is filled with gold, and guests entering it are guided by a waiter from the stairs of the lobby to the second floor.

At this moment, there are already many guests on the second floor, and these guests are all upper-class figures in Dongsheng City, including both business tycoons and high-ranking government officials, which shows the weight of the host who held the dinner.

While the guests were gathering around talking and laughing with wine glasses, a scream suddenly rang out.

"Ah!!h

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a girl in a white dress running from the side of the aisle in a panic, even running away with her high heels.

It was not long before someone among the guests recognized the girl's identity.

"It's Yang Wansu, the eldest lady of the Yang Group. ”

"Is something wrong?"

The guests looked at Yang Wansu who ran over in surprise and started to discuss, and some people who knew Yang Wansu walked over quickly.
