Chapter 597: 375. The Kite Falcons are getting a bit anxious. Chapter 597: 375. The Kite Falcons are getting a bit anxious. Long ago, Intelligence Department One was a whole unit.
Although there were many teams, everyone was working together on cases, and the people they captured were all detained together.
Now it’s different; it’s been a long time since Intelligence Department One had a collaborative case, and the prisoners each team captures are held in their own secret prisons, with detectives from other teams prohibited from approaching.
Yang Xuyang brought Li Menglin, an official from the Entry-Exit Administration, out from Team Seven’s secret prison.
The chubby middle-aged man followed Yang Xuyang timidly to the Inspector’s office. The moment the office door opened, Li Menglin saw the young man inside and immediately knelt down with a thud.
He remembered clearly that just a few days ago, this young man had entered City Number Ten quietly, following the convoy of the Wilderness Hunter.
When he saw the other party’s PCA Federal Central Intelligence Bureau identity, he had instantly gone over to curry favor, never imagining he would fall into their hands so soon!
Was it because he had wanted to skim off the bounty of Sun Chu Ci and others at the checkpoint?
Li Menglin was unsure.
Before this, his impression of Intelligence Department One was all hearsay, but only now, kneeling here, did he understand how terrifying this place could be.
At this moment, Yang Xuyang was like Qing Chen’s most loyal lackey, looking towards the office and saying, “Boss, this is Li Menglin. He’s already confessed everything about the smuggling.”
Qing Chen nodded and smiled at Li Menglin, “We know each other, don’t we, Captain of Team Seven?”
This was the first time Yang Xuyang had seen Qing Chen smile, and he was surprised. Since Qing Chen had joined Intelligence Department One, he had never smiled, as if he never would.
Qing Chen looked at Yang Xuyang, “You take a break, grab a bite, then switch with the others. I want to have a chat with this captain.”
“Alrighty,” Yang Xuyang brought Li Menglin into the office, then turned around to shut the door tightly.
However, Yang Xuyang didn’t go to eat; instead, he stayed at the door to prevent anyone coming to report work from accidentally encountering Li Menglin’s private conversation with the boss.
Qing Chen looked at Li Menglin, “Stand up and talk. It’s not good to stay kneeling, and don’t worry. Someone mentioned you in passing today, which is why you were brought in. It’s not a vendetta.”
Li Menglin, trembling on the ground, still didn’t dare to stand.
Qing Chen smiled and said, “If it were a vendetta, Intelligence Department One wouldn’t bother with such trouble to find any evidence; you’re indeed collateral damage.”
That statement seemed to hold a special charm, a sentence that should have been frightening, yet it immediately convinced Li Menglin.
Yes, for Intelligence Department One to deal with these minor officials, why would they need evidence?
He carefully stood up, “What are your instructions?”
Qing Chen said with a smile, “But you confessing so readily was unexpected.”
After saying this, Li Menglin silently knelt down again, “Please, sir, spare my life!”
“Stand up, stand up,” Qing Chen said directly, “Captain Li’s confession and evidence will be kept here for now. You don’t need to be too alarmed.”
Li Menglin looked up, “Sir, what do you want?”
He wasn’t foolish. Hearing Qing Chen speak, he knew there had to be a reason for this.
Qing Chen, still smiling, said, “From today onwards, I need the number of people and vehicle information, as well as license plate numbers, for every consortium convoy entering City Number Ten. That’s not difficult for you, is it? Just standing there with a notebook to jot it down will do. Also, sometimes I’ll need to let some people in, and I’m sure I can count on Captain Li’s cooperation in these cases.”
Li Menglin quickly thumped his chest and promised, “No problem! Absolutely no problem!”
To trade such a task for his little life was an incredibly good deal!
“Alright, go call Yang Xuyang from outside,” Qing Chen instructed.
After Yang Xuyang came in, Qing Chen said, “Give Captain Li an informant’s identity, then let him go. He’s a friend of Team Seven, don’t scare him too badly.”
Yang Xuyang was taken aback, “Sure! Don’t worry!”
Qing Chen sat silently in the office.
After arriving in City Number Ten, Kite Falcon was given by Mr. Shadow, Intelligence Department One, Team Seven belonged to Qing’s Family, Li Yunqu’s territory was provided by Li Yunshou.
At this moment, in City Number Ten, strictly speaking, Li Menglin was the first informant he had cultivated on his own.
Qing Chen asked Qing Hua to bring him the list of all suspects, not to find their flaws and exterminate them.
But to acquire more informants with blemishes.
Once in Intelligence Department One, their lives belonged to Intelligence Department One.
That’s one of the reasons for the moniker Living Hades.
Qing Hua sat across the desk, cautiously observing the new boss, while the new boss was intently studying the list of suspects.
Qing Chen said, “Lin Nianan, He Jinsha, seal up these two people’s confessions and evidence, release them. Including that Li Menglin, all three are under your management. Remember to tell me about any important intelligence they report.”
Lin Nianan was a female detective from the PCE Security Management Committee, while He Jinsha was a Wilderness Hunter.
Qing Hua realized what the new boss was doing; he wanted to use the power of Intelligence Department One to weave his own intelligence network in City Number Ten.
However, while weaving this intelligence network, he had entrusted all the tainted informants to Qing Hua’s management? Qing Hua wondered, was this a sign of trust?
