Chapter 282: Entrusted with a Heavy Task
Rustle rustle......
The sky was high and the earth was far away, on the broken and weathered highway, Chen Chong walked towards Chang Mingxuan's headless corpse, and then groped around his body to find the ghost crystal.
Although Chang Mingxuan can bend and stretch, it is a pity that he still has unrealistic illusions under the fear of death. And the Green Goblin skateboard was exposed, and Chen Chong couldn't let him return to the refuge area alive.
"After swatting this annoying fly, it's finally been able to clean up for a while. ”
"Next ......"
Putting the ghost crystals and the two Force soldiers left by Chang Mingxuan into the Qiankun bag, Chen Chong turned his eyes, did not waste time, and immediately found the charred corpses of Chang Mingxuan's three henchmen, and then gathered the corpses of the four people together and stuffed them into the shattered and burning off-road vehicle.
Chen Chong then started the Green Goblin skateboard and hoisted the broken off-road vehicle all the way north, abandoning it in a miasma-filled swamp more than a dozen kilometers away.
Rumble......
After doing all this, Chen Chong showed no regrets, stepped on the Green Goblin skateboard to cut through the sky, and drove towards the direction of the refuge area at great speed.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Chong had already flown nearly 100 kilometers at high speed, and the outline of the building in the refuge area ahead was already faintly visible.
Without moving any further, Chen Chong landed on a hill and then changed into the locomotive that had been hiding here when he left the refuge area, and soon came to the suspension bridge at the entrance to the refuge area.
From the time Chen Chong left the refuge area, changed vehicles, chased and killed, and went back and forth in less than half an hour, the guards at the drawbridge at the gate saw that Chen Chong had entered and exited in such a short period of time, although it was strange, but he didn't say much and immediately let him go.
Returning to the inner area, there was no movement or turmoil, and Chen Chong did not notify anyone, as if nothing happened, he came to the power room as if he was fine, and began the cultivation of [Electrotherapy] with peace of mind.
Time passed quickly in cultivation, and no one knew that Chang Mingxuan, one of the chairmen of the War Department, had died outside, and the inner area was as calm as ever, and in the blink of an eye, it was shrouded in night.
It wasn't until the night outside the window was as dark as ink that Chen Chong suddenly opened his eyes and said with a low smile:
"It's time to make up for the last ring. ”
......
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the sky is getting brighter.
The clouds that cover the earth seem to be much lighter than usual, and the faint morning light sprinkles between the tall buildings, heralding the beginning of a new day.
And early in the morning, when the entire inner area was just starting to get busy, Chen Chong hurriedly came to Qiu Mengyue's office.
"What?"
At this moment, Qiu Mengyue seemed to have just finished grooming, a green silk scattered on her shoulders, and with the fragrance of the hollow valley orchid, she looked straight at Chen Chong, her eyes were contemplative:
"You said Chang Mingxuan hasn't come back since he left the refuge area yesterday?"
Chen Chong said in a deep voice: "Yes, from yesterday noon until now, I haven't seen their car come back for nearly twenty hours, I have reason to suspect that Chang Mingxuan was afraid of the East Window incident, so he took the opportunity to abscond in fear of crime!"
"Don't jump to conclusions. ”
Qiu Mengyue's slender eyebrows furrowed, and she took a deep breath and said:
"After all, Chang Mingxuan is also a high-level member of the War Department, so he won't defect just because of such a little trouble, maybe they encountered some danger in the wilderness, causing the destruction of the vehicle and not being able to come back in time. ”
Chen Chong shook his head and said quickly:
"Chang Mingxuan is also a second-order controller, there are not many xenos near the Silver Ring Refuge Area that can threaten him, he won't take the initiative to provoke the Aragami, right? I don't think it's a way to wait, as long as you investigate his residence, you should be able to confirm whether the other party has defected. ”
Immediately understood what Chen Chong meant, and Qiu Mengyue's eyes flashed. She is also a person with determination and courage, and Chang Mingxuan's situation of not returning overnight is indeed very suspicious, so she immediately said:
"In that case, let's go to his residence!"
Chen Chong nodded, and then the two of them immediately went downstairs, taking the members of the investigation team who were already on standby downstairs and walking towards Chang Mingxuan's residence.
Chang Mingxuan's villa residence was not too far from the War Department Building, and soon Qiu Mengyue and Chen Chong came to the villa courtyard with people.
Under Chen Chong's gaze, several members of the investigation team immediately rushed into the courtyard, and then scattered in all directions, looking inside from the windows on the first and second floors respectively.
"Captain, chairman, something seems wrong!"
After a while, a member of the investigation team who was lying on the window on the second floor suddenly shouted:
"Would you like to come and have a look?"
Well?
Chen Chong hadn't said anything yet, Qiu Mengyue's eyes flashed with cold light, and her tall body seemed to have no weightless feathers, and she turned over the courtyard in a casual way, and came to the outside of the wall on the second floor of the villa, looking inside through the gap in the window curtains.
I saw that it seemed to be Chang Mingxuan's bedroom inside, but the wardrobes on the other side of the wall were all opened, and the clothes were still scattered on the bed and on the ground, and the cabinets at the head of the bed were all opened, looking like they had been robbed.
Damn it!
Seeing this scene, Qiu Mengyue suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned her head and shouted:
"Break down the door and search!"
After all, it was the residence of the chairman of the committee, and after listening to Qiu Mengyue's instructions, the members of the investigation team present were stunned and looked at each other.
Qiu Mengyue jumped from the second floor, walked to the main entrance on the first floor, and said in a cold voice:
"What are you doing in a daze? I'll take care of the problem!"
With Qiu Mengyue's background, the members of the investigation team were no longer afraid, and immediately forcibly broke down the door of the villa with violence and drove straight in.
As soon as they entered the living room, everything was as usual, the investigation team members scattered and entered each room to search, while Qiu Mengyue went directly from the stairs in the lobby to the second floor and came to Chang Mingxuan's bedroom.
In the bedroom, it was unusually messy, messy clothes and papers were scattered everywhere, as if someone had once rummaged through the cabinets here, and on the wall directly opposite the bed, there was a large boxy hole, which looked as if there was originally a small lockbox embedded in it. It's just that at this time, the lockbox is gone, and only a large square hole is left in the wall.
"What a bold, so bold......"
The scene in front of her was obviously something that Qiu Mengyue never expected, and her beautiful and unparalleled face seemed to be completely frozen:
"Chang Mingxuan, you really dare to ......"
Seeing this situation, where did she still not understand what was happening? Even though she couldn't believe it in her heart, everything in front of her clearly told her that Chang Mingxuan had really defected!
At this moment, Chen Chong, who followed him to the second floor and stood outside the bedroom door, had an expressionless face and a slight smile in his heart.
All the arrangements in Chang Mingxuan's residence are naturally from him. In the dead of night last night, he sneaked into Chang Mingxuan's residence and arranged such a messy scene of rummaging through boxes and cabinets and people going to empty buildings.
There is no doubt that the scene in front of him combined with Chang Mingxuan's disappearance, anyone will only think that the other party has absconded in fear of crime, and will not think about him, which can be regarded as a complete solution to all the follow-up troubles after he killed Chang Mingxuan.
"I'm sorry, Chen Chong. It looks like you're right. ”
Qiu Mengyue walked out of the bedroom, her towering breasts rising and falling, and she still seemed to be in anger:
"You and the investigation team are here to gather evidence and information, and I'll report to the Chief!"
......
Not long after Qiu Mengyue reported to the head of the war department, the head of the war department personally arrived at the scene, came to Chang Mingxuan's residence to inspect it, and then left without saying a word.
Although he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end of the criminal battle, both Chen Chong and the ordinary members of the investigation team felt an extremely depressed feeling of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it, which showed the anger of the criminal battle.
On the same day, Chen Chong returned the appointment of the investigation team to Qiu Mengyue. And in the next three days, Chang Mingxuan, who disappeared, was confirmed to have defected, and the strange thing was that everything was calm in the war department, as if Chang Mingxuan's disappearance had never happened.
Chen Chong knew that this was a death order issued by the high-level criminal war, and it was strictly forbidden to leak the news of Chang Mingxuan's suspected defection to the outside world for the time being, so except for a very few people, the war department knew nothing about Chang Mingxuan's defection.
As the initiator, Chen Chong enjoyed the pleasure of being the mastermind behind the scenes, until he suddenly received a notice from Qiu Mengyue on the fourth day, and came to the top floor of the War Department Building, the large flat floor occupied by the leader of the criminal war.
After getting off the elevator and passing through the empty hall, Chen Chong saw at a glance the majestic figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the inner area, and bowed in a low-key manner after approaching quickly:
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Torture Zhan turned around, and there was a slight tiredness on his rough and majestic countenance:
"Chen Chong, Chang Mingxuan's defection was the first thing you noticed, what do you think?"
Chen Chong's heart moved, and he said with a frank look:
"To tell the truth, Chang Mingxuan himself and I have almost no intersection with him, except for the first assessment task I experienced when I came to the refuge area and the task of going out to practice with the Rose Camp, he is suspected of murder and plotting behind his back. His disappearance and defection this time can basically confirm my judgment. But I still don't understand, and I've never offended him, so why did he attack me?"
Xing Zhan turned around, stared at the inner area outside the window at dusk, and sighed:
"Do you think that this world is only terrible for the man-eating ghosts and ghosts in the wilderness? No, it is the human heart that is terrible. Chang Mingxuan is the master of the [Nian Spirit System] cultivated by the refuge area. For a long time, because of the scarcity of new human beings in the [Nian Spirit System], I have turned a blind eye to what he did in the refuge area, and I didn't expect that this was a wolf cub who couldn't be raised, and I didn't know anyone!"
"Knowing people and faces but not hearts, I don't think the leader needs to take it too seriously. ”
Chen Chong said tentatively:
"Chang Mingxuan is already suspected of colluding with the Almighty God Cult, so does it mean that he has thrown himself into the Almighty God Cult?"
Xing Zhan shook his head and said slowly:
"The War Department also has some nails on the periphery of the Almighty God Cult, but so far nothing has been found, and it is impossible to determine whether Chang Mingxuan has converted to the cult. However, even if he fell to Gu Mengsheng, he wouldn't have the courage to leave the base of the Almighty God Sect in the past two years, otherwise I wouldn't mind cleaning up the portal myself. ”
You don't need to clean it up, I've already cleaned it up for you.
Chen Chong smiled in his heart, and asked with a straight face:
"Is this why the leader came to me because of this?"
"Of course not. ”
Xing Zhan suddenly stood up, staring at Chen Chong with a pair of majestic eyes like a lion:
"I came to you to add a burden to you and entrust you with a heavy responsibility!"
Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, a guess faintly rose in his heart, but he asked, "What is the important task?"
"Although you have only been in the refuge area for a few months, there is no one in the current talent pool of the War Department who is more talented than you. Judging from the robbery and killing of the Rose Camp, the Almighty God Cult should also know that your strength has reached the second-order level, so there is no need to conceal it. ”
The deep eyes of the torture war looked directly at Chen Chong, and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, if I appoint you as the chairman of the War Department, do you have the ability, responsibility, and loyalty to take on the responsibility of guarding the refuge area?"
