Deity Investigation Report

Chapter 78 License Successors

"Heh, that's him, the survivor of that kidnapping case ten years ago."

The person who spoke first spoke in a chilling tone: "Back then, Song Chu betrayed the research institute because his sister disappeared because of that kidnapping case. And this executor, heh, he's the only survivor of that kidnapping case, isn't he?"

"During the Song-Chu invasion of Qinggang, the only survivor of the invasion joined the Disaster Management Bureau and made great contributions."

“Looking further ahead, they had even met.”

"Based on these suspicions alone, let alone giving him special training in mysterious powers or issuing him an investigator's license, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to demote him directly and imprison him in Group D7."

"..."

It was as if a silent bomb had exploded in the air; no one showed any outward reaction, but everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

In the tense atmosphere, Zhang Chiguo suddenly turned to look at him, his expression calm but serious, and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

The other party was slightly taken aback: "Evidence?"

Zhang Chiguo nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, and your guess isn't unreasonable. So, can you provide relevant evidence to prove all of this?"

Upon hearing this, the other party scoffed, "I'm not responsible for these things..."

Zhang Chiguo interrupted him and said seriously, "I know it's a bit much to ask you to produce evidence now, but if necessary, we can postpone the discussion and give you enough time to investigate his connection with Song Chushi."

"Once you find the evidence and submit it to Ms. Ai for approval, the Disaster Management Bureau will issue the official approval."

"When the time comes, I'll personally lead the men to arrest him and lock him up in Group D7. What do you think?"

"..."

The entire conference room fell silent instantly, and many people even wore knowing smiles.

As expected, the first person to speak out gets shot down; the first one to expose this is the one who suffers the consequences.

If you're really not convinced, then go ahead and investigate. But putting aside how dangerous it would be to investigate Song Chu, just investigating this child would be tantamount to shattering Miss Ai's assessment of the report.

What's the difference between this and actively taking on a bunch of thankless troubles?
What's noteworthy is Zhang Chiguo. He used to be a tough guy, which wasn't very likable. But now, that tough guy seems to have gained a bit of sharpness.
Like a stone with thorns.

Amidst this awkward silence, a figure standing beside the hoarse voice spoke coldly: "No need for all this trouble. The kidnapping case from ten years ago has already been settled; it was just a child spouting nonsense."

"Since he was so unreliable when he was a child, what qualifications does he have now to ask us to issue him an investigator's license?"

"He shouldn't even have been in the execution department. He should have been hypnotized or eliminated immediately. Even if he were allowed in, he shouldn't have been assigned to the slow-moving D1D2 group. He should have..."

"..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Chiguo calmly interrupted him, saying, "His entry into the Disaster Management Bureau's executive department was entirely in accordance with the rules and regulations set by the Disaster Management Bureau. No one gave him special treatment or gave him the green light."

"In other words, we have no reason to fire him."

"On the contrary, the Disaster Management Bureau manages a group of unruly people who are constantly walking on the edge of life and death. If we want such people to be obedient and work hard, then following the rules is the bottom line that both of us need to adhere to to the end."

“We can hypnotize people and perform special cleansing, but before we do any of that, we must ensure that our actions are explained by the terms of the Disaster Management Agency.”

"This time, he resolved the spread of the mental plague as an executor and received an S-level rating from Miss Ai. His mentor has also sacrificed himself, and as is customary, one of his assistants should be chosen to inherit his investigator's license."

"In comparison, the other assistant of the strange bird investigator only received an overall rating of B+."

"Is it hard to choose between B-class and S-class?"

"..."

These high-sounding words, spoken from a moral high ground, had already displeased the hoarse voice, who sneered, "Isn't it enough that he was corrupted as a child?"

"Do not."

Zhang Chiguo turned to look at him and said, "The nature of that incident back then was that a child was lying, so he only lied ten years ago, not that he was mysteriously corrupted."

"you……"

The other person was momentarily speechless. They wanted to say something, but suddenly felt a sense of panic and dared not continue.

During their discussion, the important figure sitting at the head of the table simply listened. In the projection, only a blurry shadow could be seen, his expression unreadable, so it was impossible to guess his thoughts.

Beside the important figure, a black shadow who had been sitting upright suddenly spoke softly: "The matter from back then has been settled, so I think there is no need to discuss it anymore."

Upon hearing this person speak, everyone in the conference room straightened up slightly, including Zhang Chiguo and the man in the red trench coat.

As is well known, there are three seats next to important figures, but these three seats are usually closed. There will be corresponding projections at each meeting, but the people in these three seats usually do not speak, and more often than not, they do not even show up.

So their shadows are simply fixed there, representing their power.

This time, one of the three shadows suddenly spoke up, indicating that the other party not only participated in the meeting but also wanted to express their opinion.

“I have already reviewed the relevant materials and his report.”

The black shadow said, "It's very strange, and there are many coincidences. To put it bluntly, as an executor, he shouldn't even have the authority to participate in these two missions, but he did, as if a loophole was exploited." Zhang Chiguo's expression turned slightly grim upon hearing this.

He also learned about the matter and found it equally bizarre, and knew that if the matter of exploiting loopholes were investigated, he would not be able to escape responsibility.

But then, the dark figure suddenly laughed and said, "So what if he squeezed through? If he can find a loophole, it means we have loopholes to exploit. In the end, everything will still come down to the rules."

"In my opinion, those who should be dealt with should be dealt with, and those who deserve rewards should not be stingy."

Even if some people feel uneasy about him, the more uneasy they are, the more they need to be placed in a higher position so that they can be seen more clearly, right?

At this point, he smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just suggesting that the professional decision should still be made by you."

The meeting room fell into an almost deafening silence: You might as well just make a decision now...

"I also support the idea that he should be promoted and rewarded according to the normal procedures."

At this moment, another figure spoke up with a smile, his voice sounding somewhat young, saying, "Just because of his special identity, and because Song Chushi has also come into contact with him, we can use him to lure out that dangerous person."

"Moreover, we should have been on guard by now."

"Because of the existence of tides, we have already given investigators too much power, but to be honest, a considerable number of investigators have been given amazing power, but the results they have submitted are really not satisfactory."

"In that case, those who have truly demonstrated their value must be given appropriate rewards."

"Otherwise, how can we fight the tide with our heads?"

"..."

"..."

The entire meeting was held, but this person was the one who said the most offensive things.

Everyone understood that the earlier mention of the strange bird investigator entangled with Song Chushi, preventing him from achieving his goal, was just for the sake of appearances.

In reality, this guy concealed the truth and took all the credit. He spent a whole week working on a B-level mission, many people died, but it was never completed. In the end, the mission was only resolved by the execution team.

Not to mention that guy tried to steal the credit from the executors in front of everyone, only to be called out on the spot.

Although the higher-ups didn't say it outright, they were certainly aware that they had used this incident to criticize the investigators on the surface.

The matter seemed to have reached a point where a conclusion needed to be reached, but the person with the hoarse voice still seemed unwilling to give up and stubbornly resisted, saying, "Even putting aside the doubts about him, this mission can be considered as him completing it."

"But all things considered, he's only been with the Disaster Management Bureau for a few days?"

"He's too inexperienced."

"There may be an element of coincidence in this incident. Which of the other staff members hasn't been working on the front lines for a year or two? Promoting him now would be too unpopular."

"..."

"Qualifications?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chiguo suddenly looked up at him, gave a rare cold laugh, and said, "Ha, the entire Disaster Management Bureau has only been established for a few days?"

"In terms of seniority, which of today's investigators can be considered qualified?"

"..."

One sentence shut him up, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.

"Hehe, the Disaster Management Bureau still needs to improve its work efficiency. Such a simple question has been discussed for so long."

At this point, the important figure finally smiled and spoke, saying, "How about this?"

"It's true that he made contributions, and there's no doubt about Miss Ai's evaluation. Since the matter has already been settled, let's just let it go. Of course, investigator licenses are indeed very important, and they can't be issued so easily."

"Why not give him another chance to prove himself?"

"..."

"..."

[Mission report accepted!]

On the other hand, Han Su, who was also very confident that his report was well-written, well-phrased, and appropriately worded, was still a little anxious because it was his first time submitting a formal investigation report.

Fortunately, Miss Ai quickly replied: "Dear Butcher, your initial rating is improving, please keep up the good work!"

【…】

"How did you get promoted?"

Han Su frowned at the vague feedback: "You didn't even explain it clearly. Do you think you can just promote me to A+?"
