Chapter 14: Fang Ze Said, “Reporting! There is a Criminal in the Task Force!” (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They had long expected Fang Ze to reveal an important piece of information.
However, after hearing Fang Ze’s shocking words, the Commissioner and the young girl still felt their heads buzz.
They could no longer hide their surprise. They looked at Fang Ze with shock.
Without the influence of the supernatural power, their reaction was very normal.
The girl was tense and alert.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner’s hand was already reflexively reaching for the gun at his waist.
However, when he thought of the young girl, who was an Awakened, beside him, he forcefully restrained his actions and quietly touched his big stomach.
The peaceful atmosphere in the room was completely ruined by Fang Ze’s words.
The atmosphere grew heavy and somber.
Fang Ze remained calm, but his calves were already trembling.
However, when he thought about how he would be finished if he admitted defeat now, he could only keep recalling his state when he was affected by the Magazine and force himself to calm down.
In the end, it was the Commissioner who spoke first.
Without the influence of the Magazine, he looked at Fang Ze like he was an ordinary criminal.
Thus, his body tensed up and his tiny eyes glittered as he asked with a fake smile, “Really? In that case, who’s the criminal?”
Fang Ze didn’t seem to notice their wariness. He simply looked straight into the Commissioner’s eyes and said without hesitation, “It’s Han Kaiwei, Agent Han.”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s answer, the girl and the Commissioner were clearly stunned for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange…
After a moment, the girl came to her senses. Then, her body relaxed, and she looked at Fang Ze with large, sparkling eyes. Her long eyelashes flickered, and curiosity shone in them. “Why do you think Agent Han Kaiwei is a criminal?”
The moment he saw Han Kaiwei today, Fang Ze had actually made this plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Furthermore, he’d laid the groundwork for it all morning. Now it was time to reap the benefits.
Although he didn’t know if it would work without the influence of the extraordinary power, he could only try.
Thus, he said slowly, “Actually, it started a week ago.”
“At the time, after last week’s regular meeting, the other agents at the meeting shared a lot of clues. Thus, that night, I summarized the clues and made a lot of assumptions and deductions.”
“Then, I discovered that this criminal gang’s plan was very thorough and professional.”
“In that case, they shouldn’t have only three Awakened who are attacking head-on.”
“There should still be at least one Awakened with probing abilities and a strong backup plan.”
Fang Ze paused at this point. Then, he looked at the Commissioner and said, “I reported this to you a few days ago, Commissioner. You should be able to testify.”
The Commissioner had been listening intently.
He recovered from his daze at Fang Ze’s words.
Although he didn’t know why he suddenly didn’t like the criminal in front of him, he didn’t need to like him to testify, so he nodded to the young girl beside him and testified, “I can indeed testify to this. Agent Fang Ze did report his conjecture to me a few days ago.”
The girl’s big eyes blinked.
Fang Ze continued, “After reporting to the Commissioner, I went downstairs and continued my investigation.”
“However, then, when I got to the ground floor, I suddenly saw a lot of my colleagues. That was when a bold idea came to me.”
He paused at that.
Then, his gaze swept over the two of them and he said, “Hypothetically speaking, my guess is correct. There really is a strong backup in that criminal gang that can turn the tide.”
“In that case, is it possible that the ‘strong backup plan’ doesn’t refer to someone with a powerful Awakened ability?”
“Rather… Could it be someone with powerful abilities to end things?”
“For example…”
“An agent from the crime district.”
The girl nodded thoughtfully, then continued crisply, “So, you suspect that the backup might not be an Awakened.”
“Furthermore, are you saying that an agent from the crime district could conveniently destroy clues or induce the direction of investigation by the Investigation Department?”
Fang Ze nodded seriously.
The more he talked, the more relaxed he became. “At first it was just a guess.”
“Thus, the next day, I started getting in touch with each of my colleagues on the task force in turn to see if there were any more suspicious targets.”
When he said this, the Commissioner couldn’t help but turn to the girl.
The Commissioner knew that the Security Bureau had been monitoring Fang Ze’s movements.
The girl nodded slightly without batting an eyelid, confirming Fang Ze’s words to the Commissioner.
Fang Ze noticed their little exchange, but he pretended not to and continued. “In the end, unexpectedly, while I was secretly investigating, I realized I was being followed.”
“I felt that something was wrong.”
“Thus, I took the opportunity to alert the enemy and deliberately lure that person out.”
“In the end, I didn’t expect that… The person following me was Han Kaiwei, Agent Han…”
Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, the girl and the Commissioner fell silent…
The girl could not help but turn to the Commissioner.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner looked thoughtful for a moment, then gave her a small nod.
Fang Ze “didn’t know” that someone was watching him, but they knew.
Earlier, the Commissioner was recalling the schedule of the surveillance personnel. After recalling, he confirmed that Han Kaiwei was in charge that day.
After the two of them exchanged information, they could not help but feel a little speechless.
The agent on surveillance was discovered by the criminal, who in turn mistook that agent for the criminal.
Was there anything more awkward or embarrassing in this world?
They had thought that this was the end of it.
Unexpectedly, Fang Ze did not stop his story. Instead, he continued, “Of course, it’s just that I was followed. I’m not sure that Agent Han is the backup plan for the criminal organization.”
“So, I tested him.”
“I pretended I was going east to search for evidence, but he actually followed my lead and said he was going to the east too.”
“Thus, I took the opportunity to shake him off so that he couldn’t continue to follow me.”
“Meanwhile, on the way out, I also tried to guess his intentions.”
“He probably figured out that I was the one on the task force who found the most clues and had the most accurate deduction of the case, so he wanted to follow me to destroy the clues or silence me.”
The Commissioner was speechless.
Bai Ling was also speechless.
Meanwhile, Fang Ze was completely absorbed in his emotions.
He did not care if the Commissioner and the young girl believed him or not. In any case, he had completely put himself into the role of an agent that worked for the country and continued to berate Han Kaiwei!
“Actually, at the time, I was still skeptical. I wondered if I was jumping to conclusions.”
“However, that same night I got the results from my colleagues in the identification team.”
“The results contained evidence of the existence of a fourth Awakened.”
“It means my deductions about the fourth and fifth members may well be correct.”
“Plus, it occurred to me that Agent Han’s performance at every regular meeting was average. He didn’t provide much valuable information.”
“Thus, I’m even more suspicious of him!”
The Commissioner and the girl looked at each other thoughtfully.
Fang Ze continued, “So I decided to test him one last time.”
At this point, Fang Ze finally got to his plan for the day.
He said, “So, before I went to the meeting today, I specifically met with Agent Han.”
“I told him everything I’d learned this past week.”
“I allowed him to have my information.”
“Furthermore, at the meeting, I kept giving him the opportunity to express his views on the case.”
“However, he said nothing.”
“In fact…”
At this point, Fang Ze paused. “In the end, he didn’t even share the information I told him.”
“It made me really sure that there was something wrong with his identity.”
“As for my suspicions about Agent Han, why did I report them directly to the Security Bureau?”
“It’s because I think that criminal organization is extremely dangerous. There’s a good chance their members have all Awakened.”
“Agent Han is usually sloppy and doesn’t seem to know anything.”
“However, it’s very likely that he’s actually a hidden Awakened expert!”
“In that case, if the Investigation Department acted on their own, not only might he have escaped, but we might also suffer heavy casualties.”
“In addition, Agent Han’s identity is only a guess of mine. Furthermore, it involves a colleague. Thus, it is very sensitive. Once I tell the Commissioner, the Commissioner will have to take the responsibility.”
“That’s why I wanted to report to an officer of the Security Bureau myself!”
At this, Fang Ze looked at the two of them with a righteous expression. He saluted them with less than perfect respect and said, “Sir and Ma’am, I’ve finished my report.”
After hearing Fang Ze’s complete speculation, the entire office fell silent.
The girl and the Commissioner looked at each other with a slight headache.
Although they knew that Fang Ze’s discovery and deduction were all wrong, but… they couldn’t tell him directly!
Could they tell him that Agent Han was spying on him because he was a criminal?
Thus, the fulcrum of all his deductions was wrong.
Wasn’t this crazy?
Therefore, after a moment, the Commissioner rubbed his temples. With a slight headache, he said to Fang Ze, “Agent Fang Ze, what you said is a little important. Can you give us some time to consider and decide?”
Although the Commissioner and the girl tried their best to hide their emotions, Fang Ze still saw through their thoughts.
However, Fang Ze wasn’t depressed, because this was the effect he wanted!
He didn’t really suspect Agent Han. He just wanted to smooth over his abnormality over the past two days and cause trouble for the task force!
And now, he had done it.
He breathed a sigh of relief at the thought.
He had actually succeeded!
He actually carried out the plan without the influence of the extraordinary power!
As he thought this, Fang Ze insisted on acting out the last bit.
He nodded seriously. “Of course, Sir.”
“However…”
He paused, then said, “I still want you to make a decision as soon as possible, Sir. After all, once Agent Han senses that something is wrong, he’s likely to explode with his Awakened powers, run away, or even take drastic action.”
The Commissioner was speechless.
Bai Ling was also speechless.
After saying this, Fang Ze saluted unevenly again. Then, ignoring their reactions, he strode out of the office, pretending to be calm.
