Chapter 225 The End
5 month 22 day.

Early in the morning, all the members of the provincial investigation team arrived at the Zhige General Hospital.

"Lord Yan."

Ding Zhuowen, the current head of Datong Prefecture's Zhige General Hospital, brought a group of officials to personally welcome Yan Shijin and others at the gate.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me in advance. Why did you come here in person?"

Ding Zhuowen asked with a smile.

Yan Shijin said solemnly, "I heard that there has been a breakthrough in the case, and the evidence collected is enough to close the case, so I came here to take a look. If the case can be closed soon, we can also go back and report soon."

His words surprised the officials of the Zhige General Hospital behind Ding Zhuowen.

Who doesn't know that the investigation team came here on purpose to cause trouble? If they could stay one more day, they would stay one more day. Why did they come here today when the sun was rising from the west to urge the progress of the case and close it as soon as possible?

"Haha, Lord Yan is right, but this case is complicated and involves a lot of people. We still haven't caught a few key people, so it may be difficult to close the case."

Ding Zhuowen said with a smile.

These words also made many officials behind him look surprised, and they began to doubt whether they had heard it wrong.

How come everyone's roles were reversed overnight?
"Really? Then let me see what's missing."

"Okay, Lord Yan, please."

As they were talking, the two gangs entered the building of Zhige Headquarters together.

A moment later, the news reached Bian Jingru.

"Sir, Lord Ding has been delaying the matter as much as possible according to your wishes, but I'm afraid it won't last long, and..."

In the office, the secretary reported to Bian Jingru.

"Speak directly."

Bian Jingru looked at the documents in his hand without any expression.

"Moreover, the officials below do not understand Lord Ding's actions. If we forcefully drag this out, I'm afraid people will become uneasy."

The secretary said cautiously.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the day the investigation team arrived in Datong Prefecture, the entire Datong Prefecture officialdom has hardly had a good night's sleep!
This sentiment reached its climax when the investigation team began to take action and put several court officials and more than a dozen subordinates in jail.

Starting from the second-rank officials, almost all officials in Datong Prefecture were looking forward to the early departure of the investigation team from the provincial capital.

So now when the investigation team has proactively stated that the case can be closed earlier, the bigwigs above are demanding a deliberate delay. This will definitely cause complaints from those below and make people uneasy!
After all, officialdom is run by people. No matter how great the power is, if you lose the support of the people and have no one below to support you, it will be just a castle in the air.

Therefore, if Bian Jing issues such an order now, it will definitely be more trouble than gain.

This is also the reason why he told Qu Xun that he was "on the edge of a tiger".

"I understand. Let's try to appease the people below."

Bian Jingru said to the secretary.

"Yes."

The secretary turned and left.

More than half an hour later, Bian Jingru received a call from Ding Zhuowen:
"Yan Shijin took his men away."

"how?"

"It won't be delayed for long. The other party sent people to participate in the entire case from beginning to end, and they know as much as we do. Now the evidence is irrefutable. Zhang Shiwei and Shangguan Xiao are the culprits, but we haven't caught any important Western spies yet. But there will be no problem in closing the case."

"Okay, hard work."

"My Lord, please tell me for sure, how long do you plan to delay this?"

"Old Ding, we've already lost this round. Now we just have to try not to lose too much."

".Okay, I understand. I'll try my best."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Bian Jingru received another call:
"Sir, the investigation team has gone to the General Supervision Office!"

"I see."

Bian Jingru hung up the phone expressionlessly.

Yan Shijin is demonstrating blatantly!
The other party might bring the investigation team to "visit" all six main hospitals in Datong Prefecture today, causing panic among the people and thus creating huge pressure on Bian Jingru.

After a moment of silence, Bian Jingru picked up the phone and made a call:
"Have you made it clear with them?"

"My Lord, I have already said it."

"What's the attitude over there?"

"The other party should have reacted and expressed his gratitude to us."

"it is good."

The side mirror is like hanging up the phone.

Wu'an University.

In the dormitory, Li Fei had just received a call from Xia Huan.

Xia Huan made it clear on the phone that Yan Shijin brought an investigation team to the Zhige General Hospital today and demanded a quick closure of the case, but they were delayed.

In addition, the investigation team also requested to investigate Qingmian Villa and Xingcheng’s Qingyuan Urban Management Company, but was also rejected.

As soon as Li Fei heard it, he understood that Bian Jingru and others were trying to show goodwill to him.

Now they have realized that this is a trap set by the provincial capital, so they sent someone to explain it to Li Fei:
Don't hate us if you want to, we are also taking the blame for others.

If it was Li Fei before he broke through, he would definitely not be qualified to make Bian Jingru, the garrison commander, act like this.

However, his speed of breaking through the realm was the fastest in history, and he received the highest level of attention from Wuhan University, and was accepted as a student by Shi Caiming.

There is also a green-faced ghost king outside.

Such a combination is enough for Bian Jingru to strive for.

Hostility in the political arena can sometimes be so dramatic.

Li Fei just received a copy of "The Tragedy of a Prodigy" the day before yesterday, and today he has become the object of the other party's efforts.

Li Fei admired Bian Jingru's decisiveness.

The other party may not know as much information as you do, but he or she can make decisive judgments and decisions to recover losses as much as possible.

However, this is already the limit of what the edge mirror can do.

It is impossible to expect the other party to overturn Shangguan Xiao's case.

It is impossible for the other party to let the investigation team stay in Datong Prefecture for several months and slowly re-examine the case.

Even if he agreed, the entire Datong Prefecture’s officialdom would not agree!
The last thing Bian Jingru could do was to delay the matter for a few days and prevent the Green-Faced Ghost from being implicated.

In the dormitory, Li Fei sat on a chair, closed his eyes, and forced himself to calm down.

He began to review the whole thing bit by bit:

Zhang Zongyang was killed, and it was found that he was related to Western spies. Tiefengmen was closed. The investigation team arrived in Datong Prefecture. Tiefengmen was destroyed.
After a moment, Li Fei suddenly opened his eyes:

"Revenge on the teacher is definitely not the ultimate goal of the person behind the scenes. The other party must have other intentions. But the destruction of Tiefengmen should not be taken lightly in any case. What if Tiefengmen itself is one of the other party's targets?"

Li Fei discovered that because he had focused all his attention on Shangguan Xiao's imprisonment, he had overlooked one thing, which was the demise of Tiefengmen.

He subconsciously felt that Tiefengmen was implicated and used as a scapegoat.

But if the person behind the scenes spent more than ten years carefully planning this situation, would they really overlook such an important variable as the Tiefengmen?

A martial arts sect like Tiefengmen and Gu Xianfeng, a martial arts master, are much more influential and valuable than Hao Yi today!

"What if Tiefengmen and Gu Xianfeng are also one of the main targets of the person behind the scenes?" Li Fei tried to change his thinking.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized that many things were connected:

He received a task from the General Office of Supervision and fished out Chen Xiang, the top lecturer at Wuhan University.

Later, it was discovered that Chen Xiang was colluding with Western spies and tried to kill Li Fei with the help of a martial arts school.

And that martial arts school belongs to the power of "Sword King".

In this way, Tiefengmen and Western spies were officially linked.

Afterwards, Zhang Zongyang was assassinated and it was found that he had the aura of the "alien" from the West.

Tiefengmen was just connected with Western spies, and then Zhang Zongyang died, and was also related to Western spies, which led to the closure of Tiefengmen.
As Li Fei was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

If all these inferences are correct, it means that I have fallen into the opponent's game from the very beginning!
The people behind the scenes spent more than ten years planning this, and when Li Fei arrived in Datong Prefecture, the game had actually reached its final stage.

Li Fei became the opponent's first move in the final stage.

"To ensure that the Iron Front Gate is implicated, two people are crucial."

Li Fei stood up suddenly, walked to the table, picked up the phone and called Lu Mengyang:
"I want to see Xia Huan, now!"

More than an hour later, Li Fei arrived at a teahouse on a dark golden "Qilin".

Because the investigation team was in the General Supervision Office at that time, Xia Huan chose to meet Li Fei outside.

Li Fei was soon led into an elegant room and met Xia Huan.

"Master Xia, is Chen Xiang, the special lecturer who previously assassinated me at Wuda University, still in the General Supervisory Institute?"

As soon as Li Fei entered the door, he went straight to the point and asked directly.

Xia Huan was stunned, not understanding why Li Fei suddenly asked this.

However, Li Fei was now the target that the garrison commander wanted to win over, so he was naturally very polite and replied:
"Here I am."

“What was the result of the initial review?”

Li Fei continued to ask.

At the beginning, Xia Huan said that he would definitely give him an explanation, but later it was left unresolved.

Xia Huan coughed and looked at Li Fei: "Chen Xiang is very tight-lipped and has not revealed any useful information. As for the other suspects, since they are all lecturers at Wuhan University, it is not convenient for us to investigate directly, so we have not found any results yet."

"I want to know the information of all the other suspects. Also, I want to meet Chen Xiang."

Li Fei made a request.

If Tiefengmen and Gu Xianfeng are also the targets of the person behind the scenes, then Chen Xiang is the key figure in this situation.

Because it was Chen Xiang who uncovered the connection between Tiefengmen and Western spies.

What if he had backed down when he received the task of killing Li Fei?
What if he didn't choose to use the power of the martial arts school to kill Li Fei, but did it himself? (Note 1)

So Li Fei concluded that Chen Xiang must be a key figure!

"This"

Xia Huan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll take you there after the investigation team leaves the General Supervision Office."

Since Bian Jingru was trying hard to win over Li Fei, he didn't have so many concerns.

"Thank you, Master Xia!"

Li Fei saluted the other party.

"Hahaha, Xiaofei, you don't have to be so polite. After all, you are one of us in the General Inspectorate."

Xia Huan smiled and moved closer to Li Fei.

Unfortunately, Li Fei was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with him at this time, so he continued to ask:

"Where is Master Qi Yiming of the Zhengfa General Institute now?"

It was Master Qi, who had refined the tracking magic weapon and was the best at tracking, who said that he sensed some aura similar to that of an alien beast on Zhang Zongyang's body. That was why Datong Prefecture speculated that this was a killer sent by an alien from the West.

Qi Yiming's reputation has been known in Feng Province for decades, and he is even well-known in other provinces. From time to time, government officials from other provinces would ask him to assist in handling cases, so no one doubted his conclusions.

And logically speaking, who else except Western spies would be so cruel as to kill an officer?

The Western spy is the most motivated one.

So this matter naturally led from Zhang Zongyang to the Western spies, and then to the Tiefengmen.

But Li Fei got part of the truth from Feng Sanniang last night. Judging from the extent of Feng Sanniang's hatred for the Zhang family, would Feng Sanniang miss the opportunity to kill Zhang Zongyang?

Li Fei felt that this woman would most likely choose to do it herself and push the Zhang family into the abyss, only in this way would she feel the pleasure of revenge.

And if Zhang Zongyang was killed by Feng Sanniang that night, the Western alien would be a fictitious existence.

Then the conclusion Qi Yiming came to at the time was problematic!

"Master Qi Yiming?"

Xia Huan was startled. "He was loaned to the provincial capital to handle a case more than a month ago, and he hasn't come back yet."

Li Fei narrowed his eyes.

Now he can basically conclude that his speculation is correct, and he just has to wait to meet Chen Xiang.

After all, Xia Huan was an intelligence officer, and at this time he also noticed some clues from Li Fei's questioning.

"Is there something wrong with Qi Yiming? Then wouldn't Zhang Zongyang's case be a problem from the very beginning..."

Xia Huan's expression was uncertain.

Inside the elegant room, neither of them continued talking, each immersed in their own thoughts.

After waiting for more than thirty minutes, a subordinate from the General Inspectorate knocked on the door and told Xia Huan that the investigation team had left the General Inspectorate.

"Let's go, I'll take you there now."

Xia Huan said to Li Fei.

So the two of them quickly got up and left the teahouse.

Ten minutes later, Li Fei's "Qilin" drove into the General Supervision Office.

Xia Huan took him into the dungeon and came to the cell where Chen Xiang was.

"Open."

Xia Huan gave the order directly.

After the cell door was opened, the person inside moved and sat up from the ground.

At this moment, Li Fei almost couldn't recognize that the person in front of him was the special lecturer who taught him wrestling and grappling.

Chen Xiang was wearing a prison uniform covered in dirt and blood, with almost no intact skin on his body.

This martial artist who was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Stage now had as weak a breath as that of an ordinary person.

When Chen Xiang saw Li Fei, he was stunned for a moment.

"Teacher Chen."

Li Fei stepped into the cell, came in front of Chen Xiang, and then suddenly pulled out the Ghost Slashing Sword in his hand.

This action startled Xia Huan behind him, and he quickly shouted, "Xiao Fei, what are you doing? Put the knife away!"

Li Fei ignored Xia Huan. He put the Ghost Slasher on Chen Xiang's neck, looked into his eyes, and said seriously:
"I don't have much time left, so I will only ask the following questions once. If you don't answer, I will kill you directly!"

Note 1: When writing the plot of Chen Xiang killing Li Fei, some readers questioned why Chen Xiang had to trick Li Fei into going to the martial arts hall to kill him. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just do it outside? Now the explanation is given
In the future, if you encounter similar plots, don't rush to criticize, what if it's a foreshadowing~
