Chapter 896 - 474: Who Says the West State Boss Has No Information?

Chapter 896: Chapter 474: Who Says the West State Boss Has No Information?

The conference room was silent.

Chairman Chen Shu held a teacup, took a sip while looking at his phone, and read the profiles of the two men on the engineering vehicle.

[Xie Dahui, twenty-nine years old, Sichun person, secondary school education, maintenance worker at Bright Moon Ultra-Pure Drinking Water Company, monthly salary of four thousand eight]

[Hu Yongyong, thirty-one years old, Zhongwu person, college degree, maintenance worker at Bright Moon Ultra-Pure Drinking Water Company, monthly salary of four thousand nine hundred and fifty]

He read as he furrowed his brows.

"For the prior Immortal investigation, these two weren’t screened out?"

Beside him, Committee Member Gu Lin was also looking at his phone, reading the profiles of these two, and felt embarrassed, quickly explaining.

"These migrant workers, indeed we might have... overlooked them!"

Chairman Chen Shu sighed, able to understand. The vast West State, with tens of millions of people, had far too many individuals; it’s not something that can be thoroughly investigated just like that.

"These two, they haven’t shown any abnormalities?"

Committee Member Gu Lin flipped through the data, furrowing his brows.

"Well... if they have, in recent months, their spending has been quite extravagant, splurging at various internet-famous stores, buying trendy brands, and even being caught twice as beetles.

"However, our system detected their abnormal spending but didn’t consider it a problem.

"After all, young people’s consumption habits these days are quite peculiar."

The people around the table in the conference room exchanged looks, unsure what to say.

The population in West State is vast, the demographic composition very complex; all kinds of people exist.

The Immortal investigation is incomplete, artificial intelligence inaccurate... perhaps it’s unavoidable, nobody can be blamed.

Chairman Chen Shu sighed.

"Alas... our task remains complicated; our work still needs strengthening!

"Calculating the time, these two should have been captured by now?"

...

Next to the road, an engineering vehicle had flipped over, and its chassis was emitting black smoke.

Dozens of Immortal Technique Committee members, dressed in exoskeleton armor and carrying either alloy knives or assault rifles, surrounded the vehicle.

Leading them was the newly appointed Sequence Seven Immortal Martial, holding the alloy knife in reverse, approaching the engineering vehicle and looking inside.

"You are under arrest!"

Inside the flipped vehicle, the two men lay limp, collapsed together, bleeding from their seven orifices, looking beyond saving.

They grinned, showing teeth stained with blood.

"You... are all... useless... you can’t achieve anything... you know nothing..."

After saying this, both men’s four bloody eyes dimmed.

...

"Expert Bai Mo, Committee Member Su, please come inside."

Bai Mo entered the conference room door with Su Yaoyao.

Inside, many chairs were added, with many experts gathered around a barrel of murky black water, conducting observations.

Chairman Chen Shu displayed a smile, stood to greet Bai Mo, and nodded smilingly to Su Yaoyao.

"Alas, there’s one good news and one bad news to share.

"The good news is, the pigeons have made a meritorious contribution!

"Previously, we indeed overlooked the potential of the pigeon factory.

"This strategic error, it’s one we must admit.

"Subsequently, we’ll restore the pigeon factory project to its rightful strategic position.

"The bad news is, we’ve uncovered an Immortal-related crime.

"Um... one we’re currently unable to comprehend.

"The enemy contaminated the village’s direct drinking water machines, adulterating them with substances..."

While Chairman Chen Shu spoke, Bai Mo cast his gaze at the tabletop of the conference room, seeing that barrel of murky black liquid.

Around the conference table, Mo Lanyou, Wu Qingyun, Tian Xinghuo, Gu Lin, Professor Zhang, and others were watching closely, using Divine Sense to try and decipher the mystery.

"The lab’s test results are absurd."

"My Divine Sense... doesn’t sense anything strange."

"Is this just for disgust?"

"Is there really any meaning to it?"

"Didn’t they consult other experts?"

"They did, but also couldn’t identify the mystery."

"What are they trying to do? Why give villagers this bizarre substance?"

Swoosh!

It was Bai Mo’s fox disciple, White Tears, leaping from the master’s shoulder onto the conference table, furrowing its brows and glancing at the barrel of black murky liquid.

This time it’s not pretending... having practiced Alchemy on Fox Mountain for years, the number of strange medicinal ingredients and decoctions it knows is indeed more than the people here!

"Awo Awo Awo!"

It appeared serious, peeked at the sealed black liquid in the glass barrel, observed the black fragments floating in the water, gray powder, and black debris... hmm, unfamiliar.

Bai Mo stepped forward, recognizing the contents of the barrel, feeling even more puzzled internally.

Mo Lanyou saw him coming, bitterly joked.

"It’s bewildering, not knowing what this group intends by adulterating villagers’ direct drinking water machines with ashes?"

Indeed, these gray, black strange powders were none other than ashes!

Chairman Chen Shu stood beside, quite vexed.

"The matter has already been reported to Shangjing.

"West State is commencing a large-scale inspection to see if there are other similar instances.

"That village has also been scheduled for examination.

"The situation must have clarity, there must be an explanation.

"The adverse results already caused must be remedied.

"The possible subsequent dangers must be blocked.

"Absolutely, under no circumstances will it be left unresolved!"

But where exactly can this answer be found?

In the depths of Chairman Chen Shu’s eyes, he appeared perplexed.

Yet deeper in his eyes, within his dreams, Tie Pi Immortal was gazing outward.
