Chapter 1573 Convention
The deceased, Keles, was an A-level cultivator, but he died of poisoning. It is really unbelievable.
The hotel where this person lived was quite luxurious. Logically, when he realized something was wrong, he could have asked for help in time.
However, a large amount of alcohol was detected in the body of the deceased, and some unconsumed liquor was also found in the room.
Later, the authorities found his friends and confirmed that they had indeed drunk a lot on the night of the incident.
It’s just that the deceased’s friends thought that the deceased had a high alcohol tolerance and high level of cultivation, and that the amount of alcohol he drank shouldn’t have made him so drunk that he couldn’t even handle the food poisoning.
However, the hotel involved is actively pushing for a closure of the case, and the government has basically similar plans.
Under the order of Rock, the death of an A-level awakener is really bad.
When Shui Xisheng heard the news, he jumped up and quickly contacted the government to express his opposition to closing the case.
In the past, the government would never care about a small A-level person - especially a businessman.
But now, Shui Shao has become a distinguished guest in the governor's mansion, who dares to ignore him?
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were also speechless upon hearing this.
Qu Jianlei said subconsciously, "I thought this guy was lucky, but it turns out that people just don't take him seriously."
When he first heard about this, he felt a little strange. After all the hardships, Keles was still alive today. He was very lucky.
The Imperials attach much more importance to rooting out the problem than the Blue Stars do.
He never thought that the murderer behind the scenes was really watching him, and he ended up dying a violent death.
As for accidental death? That didn't happen, and he didn't need any evidence - there was no such a coincidence in the world.
Jing Yuexin said coldly, "It's not that they don't take him seriously, it's that they don't take us seriously."
Then she looked at Qu Jianlei and said, "I'll go make the arrangements."
"Okay," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "You can't just want money, you also want lives!"
Once Digital Phantom gets serious, his efficiency is extremely high. Two days later, dozens of murders occurred in the Giant Wave Star Region.
They were all obvious murders, some of which even had traces of magic.
In one of the incidents, four of the six people who were attending the banquet were killed on the spot during a dinner party.
The two who survived were not lucky, but the murderer did not do anything at all. He just said, "It has nothing to do with you, just sit still."
These two have to sit down, even if there is only one murderer, but that person... releases a supreme aura!
The dead were a diverse group of people, including government officials, mine owners, business elites, and people working in the financial industry.
There are even a few people who belong to the gray forces.
These people seemed to have nothing to do with each other, and their deaths were caused in various ways, but there was no doubt that they were all murders that blatantly disregarded the law.
In fact, those who truly understand know that the actions of these deceased people actually have something in common.
The city guards quickly filed a case, and within half a day they tried to merge the cases.
However, the attempt to merge the cases was prevented by the will from above - there was no urgent need to solve these cases.
At almost the same time, in a manor on the core eight stars.
A well-dressed man was standing in the room, looking at the three people opposite him with a sullen face.
The man looked to be middle-aged, with a shifty look, but he had a calm and focused aura.
Among the three people he faced was a middle-aged man, whose face was 60% similar to him.
No one spoke in the room, only deathly silence.
After a long while, the well-dressed man finally spoke, "Does your family need money?"
The middle-aged man opposite shook his head and whispered, "No."
"You know that too!" The man raised his hand and sent out a stream of energy, and the man opposite him took seven or eight steps back.
Then he opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The elegant man looked at the older man again, "Jack, I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me?"
Jack's mouth moved, and after a long while he sighed and spoke slowly, "I advised the young master not to kill anyone."
The young master was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Hearing this, he couldn't help but shout, "I should have killed him in the first place. Why did you stop me?"
Jack was silent, thinking to himself, you killed the people from the mining management department, you really don't care about the old man's difficulties at all.
"It was right not to kill him at the beginning," the sophisticated man concluded lightly.
"The problem is... we shouldn't kill him now. What do you think?"
"Kill him if you want," the young master answered in a low voice, paused, and then spoke again.
"It's nothing more than a small A-level, a bargaining chip. The main purpose is to prevent others from talking nonsense."
In fact, there was one more thing he didn't say. He believed that his grandfather was in his prime and held a high position of power.
The Digital Phantom is very powerful, but so what? Does it dare to challenge the official system of the empire?
This illusion is not uncommon, and many people living in the core circle of the Eight Stars hold similar views.
After all, the empire is a unified country. The government has maintained a high-pressure situation for a long time and has strong execution capabilities.
However, the young master also knew that answering in this way would inevitably lead to the suspicion of causing trouble for his grandfather, so he did not dare to say it directly.
This time, it was the elegant man's turn to remain silent. After a while, he slowly shook his head.
"Aren't you going to explore the Girl Star Region? Pack up and leave tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the young master looked up in astonishment, "You mean, they still dare to touch me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" The elegant man looked at him strangely, "You've already said that A-level is just an ant."
"If you were really killed, would I be able to avenge you?"
He felt that his grandson was really stupid. There were so many places to make money, why not do something else?
That's right, I came from the Mining Management Department, so business operations were relatively convenient, and the profits from mining energy stone mines were also astonishingly large.
Not to mention the energy stone mines that don't require taxation.
But you have to figure out under whose banner you are acting!
He found the idea of silencing witnesses even more absurd, but his grandson was right about one thing: it was indeed necessary to deter other mine owners.
But the digital phantom is really not easy to deal with, so this is still a bit risky.
Fortunately, this team is currently cooperating with the military, and is barely included in some of the system's supervision.
Moreover, these people's mining of energy stone mines is also illegal - even if you use it for your own use, has the empire recognized it?
But at the same time, he was also certain that if the other party really killed his grandson, he would be powerless to retaliate.
It’s not that the people of the Empire are indifferent to family affection, but... this is the fact, everyone does this.
Moreover, facing such an opponent, what could he use to retaliate, and how could he dare to retaliate?
At this moment, someone rushed in and said, "Something bad has happened. The Giant Wave Star Region..."
"Where are the rules?" The sophisticated man looked at him coldly, but was startled again, "Julang Star Region?"
When the four people in the room learned that there had been multiple violent homicides in the Giant Wave Star Region, they all fell silent.
After about seven or eight seconds, Jack spoke up, "Congratulations, sir... It's a good thing!"
"Yeah," the elegant man nodded slightly, feeling noticeably relieved.
But in the end, he slowly shook his head, "This is the other party's question... He has a big appetite!"
At the same time, Qu Jianlei also received information from the Julang Star Region. After thinking about it, he went to find Jing Yuexin.
"Dozens of people were killed over there in Julang... Did you arrange this?"
Jing Yuexin obviously misunderstood. She nodded, "Yes, they are all related people... at least they all know about it."
Qu Jianlei rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't think I killed too many people, but... is this considered revenge?"
Jing Yuexin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I didn't kill their families because I felt... it was unnecessary."
In imperial society, rooting out the evil is a basic operation, especially for the powerful and wealthy - they cannot leave any hidden dangers for themselves.
But she really thought it was unnecessary. It was not a question of how many people were killed, but...she was not afraid of revenge at all!
The Digital Phantom is so powerful that if she has the slightest fear, she won't let anyone commit murder openly.
Besides, don’t those dead have any enemies?
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "The person who carried out the operation was indeed hateful. You did the right thing."
“But what about the masterminds and stakeholders behind the scenes?”
Jing Yuexin finally understood, "You mean this? Then... just kill them slowly."
In fact, her initial thoughts were highly similar to the meticulous man's analysis.
She just wanted to start from the bottom and create pressure on the opponent - that is, to ask questions.
Because this matter itself is not a big deal, and the behavior of not paying taxes has not been publicly recognized.
It's nothing more than a borderline means, an operation that skirts the edge.
The most important thing is that the one who was killed, Keles, was just a small A-level and was not a member of the team.
Not only did he have nothing to do with the team, he even openly slandered the team.
If someone from the team was really killed, she would definitely not react like this.
The mastermind behind the scenes also has an identity, so it is legitimate to squeeze out a huge amount of benefits by exerting extreme pressure.
This is how Jing Yuexin had always handled things before she met Qu Jianlei - and so did her team.
Not every incident you encounter requires you to fight from beginning to end.
If it is not an irreconcilable conflict, just put enough pressure on the other party and strive for the greatest benefit.
But now that the eldest brother had said that, she did realize the problem—she had taken it for granted in her handling of the matter.
Digital Phantom, after all, is not the low-key team she led before.
This matter is indeed not a big deal, but it has damaged the team's reputation, which is equivalent to loss of interests.
Moreover, our side has already started the investigation, but the other side wants to kill people to silence them. Isn't this a blatant provocation?
Qu Jianlei didn't know that Jing Yuexin made a small mistake in the operation.
He nodded when he heard that. "Then do it as soon as possible. If you dare to hit us in the face, leave it to me. Revenge will not last overnight!"
