I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 427: Reopening an old case, Intelligence Network (5k)

Fan Zeyun came to surrender, and no matter from any angle, Wen Yan had no reason to stop him.

Even if Fan Zeyun turned himself in, there was an 80% chance that he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison until he died, or he would not even have a second half of his life.

Even though Fan Zeyun surrendered so openly, according to the rules, the Lieyang Department must reopen the dusty files and re-investigate the previous case.

According to current rules, as long as Fan Zeyun provides new clues and new confessions that were not previously recorded during the initial interrogation, the probability of the verdict being true is not low.

Then, this old case must be reopened.

This is what Fan Zeyun wants, he has lived enough.

When they were on their way to the underworld, Wen Yan could tell that this guy had a serious tendency towards self-destruction and didn't care about life or death at all.

There are only two things he cares about, one is Dao Ge, and the other is what happened in the past.

When he followed Wen Yan to the underworld once and was rescued by Wen Yan, and combined with Wen Yan's reaction when he saw Dao Ge before, Fan Zeyun was already sure that he could entrust Dao Ge to Wen Yan.

The one who is suffering now is not Fan Zeyun, but someone else.

The Minister of Guanzhong County felt very uncomfortable. Of course he knew about the case that year. Given his relationship with Tsai Heizi, it was impossible for him not to know about it.

The case was led by Tsai Ing-wen back then, and is supervised by the current Minister.

That was the time when Cai Heizi offended the most people in one breath.

The young Cai Heizi was stubborn, tough and stubborn. He was indeed the one who could get things done to the maximum extent possible, but at the same time, this was also the most offensive job. Several bigwigs were implicated at that time.

When the revival of spiritual energy itself was still controversial, the voices calling for cutting the funding and authority of the Lieyang Department, or even abolishing the Department, were the loudest at that time.

In this situation, even the young and hot-tempered Cai Heizi, at the request of the so-called victim's family, began to compromise in order not to bring disaster to the entire Lieyang Tribe. He has changed since then.

He changed from a stubborn, hard and stubborn guy to a person who, even though the things he did made people want to slap each other, he still had to bear it with a pinch of his nose.

Gradually, it became a situation where even if you really cursed and beat the bastard afterwards, you could not deny the incident itself, you could not blame the Lieyang Department, you could only curse Cai Heizi, but the thing still had to be done.

At this point, Cai Heizi finally became Cai Heizi.

As one of the people offended by Cai Heizi, the Minister of Guanzhong County certainly knew where it all started and which incident had the greatest impact on Cai Heizi.

Now that someone had come forward and admitted the incident, and when he heard that this person had come with Wen Yan, even before the preliminary interrogation, the Minister of Guanzhong County felt dizzy and knew in his heart that it was probably true.

Especially when he asked Wen Yan, Wen Yan said that he did not catch the man at all. The Minister of Guanzhong County became even more certain that the matter must be true.

He couldn't make the decision on this matter, but he couldn't help but accept it.

Now, listening to the phone call and Wen Yan's words, the Minister of Guanzhong County thought about it and said.

"It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Is this your first time to visit a Guanzhong County unit? Come up and sit down. We'll have a meal together later and let you taste Guanzhong cuisine."

"I have lived in Guanzhong County for more than ten years."

"Oh, that's even better. Let's eat some home-cooked food. Never mind. Let's go now. I've reserved a table. You're in the lobby on the first floor, right? Wait, I'll be down soon."

The Minister of Guanzhong County did not give Wen Yan a chance to refuse, and hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Wen Yan looked at the phone, a little stunned. He certainly knew what this was going to do, and he didn't mean to embarrass the Minister of Guanzhong County.

But many things have rules. Fan Zeyun has lived in Guanzhong County for so many years. If he suddenly surrenders himself and crosses Guanzhong County, he will get into trouble.

Now, if we follow the rules and normal procedures, there will be no problem at least for the Lieyang Tribe in Guanzhong County.

Wen Yan did not leave. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw the minister of Guanzhong County coming down. He directly grabbed Wen Yan's arm and refused to let go no matter what.

"Let's go, let's go home. How can we just leave like this?"

The Minister of Guanzhong County took Wen Yan with him and did not go out for a big meal, but instead found an authentic Pao Mo restaurant.

"The mutton in this basin is authentic, and the crescent moon cakes are all hand-baked, not electrically baked. This is the most suitable food for this season, and it is very comfortable."

Seeing that this man had put aside his important work and was about to drag him to eat mutton from the water basin, Wen Yan naturally knew that the case back then was not a small matter, so he put his mind at ease.

"That Fan Zeyun has a serious tendency to self-destruct. If he goes somewhere else, it might not be a good thing."

"I understand that." The minister of Guanzhong County understood that if someone went to another place while he was in his jurisdiction, no matter if there was any inside story or not, he would be the one being bypassed.

The Minister of Guanzhong County thought for a moment and said something that surprised Wen Yan.

“This case will most likely be reopened, but it’s not certain how much we can find out after the reopening.

If the information provided by Fan Zeyun is not particularly important, especially if it is not particularly important now, the probability of further digging is not very high.

Now that we have done it, we must finish it. We cannot restart it and then give up halfway and let it go.”

Wen Yan raised his head and looked at the Minister of Guanzhong County, feeling a little surprised. The Minister of Guanzhong County was much more moderate than Cai Heizi, and should not be so extreme.

It is unlikely that an extreme person would be appointed as a minister in Guanzhong County, as such a person would not be able to balance the relationship between the many ghosts and people in Guanzhong County.

"Don't look at me like that. Everyone has some edges and corners, but mine were smoothed out a long time ago.

Although I think Cai Qidong is a very annoying person, I admire what he does.

He is dead now. If there is a chance to reopen this case, I would certainly hope to do so, just to help Tsai’s haters resolve their regrets.”

After hearing this, Wen Yan bowed his hands to show his respect.

At this moment, the mutton in the basin came up. Wen Yan first sipped the soup, pondered it for a while, and suddenly figured out something. The Minister of Guanzhong County was afraid that the matter was not big enough and would be suppressed in Guanzhong County, and the case would fall into his hands.

By then he will be in trouble. If he wants to dig deeper, he has been trapped in Guanzhong County and will definitely not be able to dig deeper. If he doesn't dig deeper, he will feel guilty on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will become the one to take the blame.

Now that the nice words have been said and the matter has been pushed out, if it can still become a big deal, that would be the result that best suits the wishes of the Minister of Guanzhong County.

Wen Yan was speechless, and he didn't say anything. As expected, these old foxes were not easy to deal with.

This matter cannot be suppressed.

When the director handed him the information, he knew what the director meant.

If he doesn't want to lift the lid, then he won't see the information.

After dinner, Wen Yan called the director general.

"Director, I accidentally found some information."

Wen Yan did not mention Fan Zeyun's affairs, but simply stated the results of his investigation truthfully and also told the characteristics of the location of the lantern.

All recent events are connected, and anything that may be related to the local ghost god of wealth is a high priority.

Wen Yan's attack on the underworld was actually a priority event, but this was not because it was Wen Yan who was attacked, but because someone attacked people in the underworld. No matter how the other party did it, the nature of the incident was different.

Being dragged into this kind of incident, the ghost market case of that year was further complicated.

Judging from the current situation where the progress of spiritual energy recovery is beginning to accelerate, no one can stop it.

Blocking the reopening of the ghost market is equivalent to blocking the investigation of the attack case, blocking the investigation of the local ghost god of wealth and a series of other related things.

Wen Yan finished the routine report, and the rest was up to the Lieyang Tribe.

At the Lieyang Tribe headquarters, the chief hung up the phone and waited quietly. After a few minutes, the minister of Guanzhong County called.

This is not a formal report, but just an informal communication.

The director general was also an eyewitness at that time.

The Minister of Guanzhong County spoke for about ten minutes. After he hung up the phone, the official documents and a preliminary confession of Fan Zeyun were sent to him.

The director general sat in a chair, looked at the document quietly, and took a deep breath.

For many years, the Lieyang Tribe was almost suppressed by this excuse. If it had been suppressed, it would have been a waste of only five years.

But if they had missed the five-year development period at that time, the Lieyang Tribe would now be completely unable to keep up with the pace of the times.

Intellectually he knew there was really nothing he could do at the time, but this matter has always been a thorn in his heart.

Some of the regrets from our youth and strength will gradually turn into a vague illusion as time goes by, but some will be remembered more and more deeply.

The headquarter director looked at the message sent by Guanzhong County and picked up the phone on the table. "Come to my office."

The chief secretary came in soon and the director began to arrange the work.

He was not in a hurry to reopen the case. Anyway, Fan Zeyun was already in the Lieyang Tribe of Guanzhong County. The case had been going on for so long, and there was no need to rush it in a day or two. It required an impeccable reason.

Twenty minutes later, the Northeast Lieyang Tribe received the mission.

The information Wen Yan gave made it easy to determine the location. Starting from this location, it began to radiate outward, and names began to appear in the information one by one.

When you have authority, manpower, priorities, and resources, many things will become much easier.

For many cases, it’s not that we don’t want to handle them, nor do we want to delay them. It’s that we simply don’t have the resources to invest, so we can only focus on high-priority matters.

The representatives of the Shamanism sect who were still attending a meeting in the capital had received a call. The Fiery Sun Tribe had taken action, and it had acted very quickly. It was the Northeast Fiery Sun Tribe that took action.

Moreover, the person leading the team is also from a religious sect, but unlike them, he does not have Qingfengyanhun, but only Huhuangbailiuhui, so they are not in the same boat.

They come from the same sect, just different branches, so they know a lot of things better than outsiders.

In less than an hour, a large group of people appeared outside the Ma Ancestral Hall.

A muscular man, accompanied by a thin old man with a long beard, entered the Ma family ancestral hall. The thin old man stopped just before entering the main hall.

"Stop, don't go in."

He saw the lantern hanging on the main beam of the roof of the main hall, and the hairs on his body stood up.

“Hey, I’ve said before that our ancestors who banned Qingfeng Yanhun must have suffered a lot and stepped into a big trap.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be an explicit ban. Violators would be expelled from the family tree, their records of leaving the family would be erased, and they would be nailed to death. Even their descendants would never be allowed to come back.

How could these guys with the soul of Qingfengyan be honest?

They are not Qingcheng. Qingcheng's practice is about medicine and capturing spirits, which are completely different in nature.

It is better to believe that I am the Emperor of Qin than to believe their lies that I can control myself. "

"Uncle, what did you see?" The strong man next to him also felt cold all over and asked quickly.

"What did you see? I saw that this was a big pit. There must be thousands of dead souls suppressed here, and many of them were resentful.

The Ma family has finally found a treasure, and these filial descendants have suppressed all these things here.

Hehe, I wonder if the ancestors will be so angry that they will turn into ghosts and strangle these filial descendants to death in the middle of the night."

"Uncle, you are wrong. Even if the ancestors of the Ma family turned into ghosts, they would be suppressed here."

"Ha..." The old man narrowed his eyes, his beard shaking with laughter. He looked around and sniffed: "It smells a bit familiar. It's so strong. I'm afraid it's this familiar bastard. He has lived here for a long time and has started a fight here in the past two days."

"Who?"

"I don't know, I just feel like I've seen it before and we've fought each other before."

The old man stamped his feet, made a squeaking sound, and waited for a long time, but there was no movement around him.

The old man was a little confused and looked carefully. Then he came to a corner and saw some powder on the corner that seemed to have become damp due to time. He stretched out a finger, wiped it, and put it in his mouth to taste it.

"Bah, this bastard is not on guard against outsiders, but only against us! I was wondering why there was no movement, this bastard put old bricks soaked in cat urine here."

The old man walked quickly outside, and after walking a few dozen meters, he stamped his feet and squeaked twice.

About ten seconds later, a big gray mouse was seen sticking half of its head out of the bushes, looking outside cautiously.

The old man puffed up his cheeks and spat out a sticky thing that looked like chewed buns, and threw it to the big gray rat.

"Go and ask where the guy who has been here has gone."

After the big gray mouse ate the sticky stuff, a green light appeared in its eyes, and it immediately turned around and disappeared into the grass.

Ten minutes later, the big gray rat came back and squeaked for a long time.

The old man returned to his original place and told the strong man what had happened.

"There was a guy who ran away overnight yesterday. There is no surveillance in this village, but fortunately, where there are people, there are rats. This guy ran away in such a hurry that he forgot to be on guard against rats."

“Just because there are no surveillance cameras in the village doesn’t mean there are none everywhere.”

The news spread quickly, and the people in the technical department also started to make efforts. With an approximate time and direction, especially since this was a time when most people were sleeping, the difficulty of tracking down the case began to plummet.

Especially in the Northeast, after December, if there is no urgent matter, who would rush to travel at three, four, or five in the middle of the night if they live far away from the city?
In this large area, covering dozens of miles in radius, there were not many such people to be found at this time that night.

Soon, the result came out. It was a camera hidden to film wild animals, which captured a person.

The man's appearance could not be seen clearly, but he was carrying a bag and walking all the way north. He did not enter the city at all, which showed that he was preparing to cross the mountains and leave.

The thin old man with a mustache saw the person under the night vision camera and took a closer look.

"This man's figure looks familiar."

"Hey, uncle, do you really know him? Then take a good look at him."

The old man stared at it for a long time and said.

"This bastard must have changed his appearance! He looks like a guy I saw a long time ago, but that guy is already dead. I heard that he wanted to be buried in the ground with his body intact, but he was not satisfied and was burned anyway."

"Anyone else?"

"No, I just remembered this one. The figure and the way they walked are really similar."

"Never mind, let's catch up first."

The old man nodded and glanced at the Ma Family Ancestral Hall.

Based on what we have discovered now, there is no need for any further reasons, and the person will definitely be captured first.

As soon as the news came out, a helicopter flew over, carrying the strong man and the old man, and headed north together.

After flying twenty or thirty kilometers, the old man jumped out of the plane, opened his arms, and fell rapidly into the woods.

When he was about to fall on the tree canopy, the old man's falling speed slowed down rapidly. He landed lightly on the tree, grabbed the trunk with his skinny hands, and fell to the ground.

He squeaked a few times, and a few squirrels poked their heads out.

A moment later, he nimbly climbed up to the treetops, exerted force with his feet, jumped several meters high, grabbed the landing gear of the helicopter, swung his body, and returned to the helicopter.

"Keep going north, that bastard passed by here.

It's really stupid. Just to repel insects and animals, you have such a strong smell on your body.

You don’t even need to get close to know that he passed by here.”

No matter how fast a person walks, even if he runs on a mountain road for a whole day, it will still not be enough for the helicopter to catch up in half an hour.

As long as the direction is right, it is easy to catch up.

At the same time, based on the information provided by Wen Yan, the Northeast Lieyang Tribe also formally filed a case.

It is indeed difficult to say what exactly is in the Ma Family Ancestral Hall.

But it is very reasonable to suspect that these guys specifically killed people in order to artificially create a top-grade Qingfeng.

Because the charred and smoking ghost is now in Guanzhong County, and the other two who were burned to death with the charred ghost were suppressed under the soul-calming lantern, which is also a fact.

Now it depends on how many people will be arrested and who will be implicated.

As for the involvement, whoever is from that faction and has been here should be arrested first, and it is basically unlikely that there will be any injustice.

Anyone with a slightly higher level of spiritual perception, anyone who has been a shaman or worshipped a fairy, will definitely feel nothing after entering here.

While there was a commotion here, on the other side, at the Lieyang Tribe headquarters, the interrogation results of the interrogation experts also went smoothly. However, one guy who looked easy to get close to pretended to say something wrong and mentioned the Soul-Calming Lantern, and the other guy's mentality collapsed.

Once you have one, it will be much easier to cut the other one.
