"This is too inconceivable, isn't it?"
And just as everyone was shocked and doubtful, more news also began to quietly spread.
So they all knew that Fang Ze was just a poor man from the slums of a low-level city.

And... before handling these cases, he had joined that mysterious organization.
Moreover, the reason Bai Zhi unearthed him was precisely because he was one of the suspects in an extermination case.
Latter, because Bai Zhi wanted to compete with Gu Qing, she disregarded the opposition of others and forcibly arranged for this person to join the Security Bureau!
And even… as soon as he entered the bureau, he was given the position of a second-level Commissioner!
You should know that so many people have mixed in the Security Bureau for so many years and have not been promoted to second level!
And for a second-level Commissioner, there is a basic requirent for strength: a high-order Awakener.
As a result, a low-order Awakener, a poor man without identity or household registration, a person with a criminal record, and possibly a mber of a mysterious organization, actually leaped to beco a second-level Commissioner?
For a ti, all those who learned of this information had various thoughts...
Undercurrents were surging, and a storm was gradually forming...
......
At this mont, Fang Ze did not yet know that with the push of so interested parties, he had already stepped one foot into the storm.
At the ti, he had just co out of Qingfeng Ancient Street.
He furrowed his brows, hailed a taxi, and returned to the apartnt Bai Zhi had rented for him.
Using the key to open the door, One Two Three, who had been lying by the door, lifted its fox head at the sound and then looked towards the door.
Upon seeing Fang Ze, it lowered its head again and continued to sleep.
Fang Ze turned on the light, and i quietly crept out from his shadow, obediently helped him take off his coat, hung it up, and then slipped through the shadows into the bathroom to run water for Fang Ze's bath.
Before long, i was ready, and Fang Ze got up and went to the bathroom.
Lying in the bathtub, Fang Ze felt the temperature of the hot water, relieving the fatigue of the day, while also pondering over the intelligence he had obtained from the Rejuvenation Society's liaison and the next "directive"...
According to the liaison, the Rejuvenation Society now had two main tasks.
One was to take a cut from the Flower Morning Festival.
The other was to continue searching for information about Ming 28 and the mysterious organization behind it.
As per the liaison, they had been targeting that rich rchant for more than just a day or two. But they never managed to grasp any leads.
All they knew was that he had so connections with several gangs in Erald City. Every ti he ca to Erald City, he would also enjoy himself in Paradise District.
Even the Different Race mistresses he kept in his villa seed to have been given to him by several gangs in Erald City.
But the Rejuvenation Society could confirm that with the capabilities of those gangs, it was not possible for them to acquire strategic items like Ming 28.
Therefore, they suspected that the rchant was using his connections with the gangs for so sort of laundering or smuggling operations.
And behind those few gangs, there seed to be faint shadows of Erald City's Governing Hall, Security Bureau, and Investigation Bureau.
So, they suspected... it was very likely that there were mbers of this Shadow Organization within these three official agencies.
Therefore, they hoped Fang Ze would do his best to investigate.
In the half an hour that Fang Ze spoke with the liaison, nearly 25 minutes of it were spent discussing this matter.
And judging by the other party's emphasis, Fang Ze felt that the intelligence on this Shadow Organization and resources like Ming 28 were even more important to the Rejuvenation Society than the Flower Morning Festival.
Whether that liaison was putting on an act for Fang Ze, or if things were really as so, was unknown.
In any case, Fang Ze felt that the Rejuvenation Society's attitude towards the Flower Morning Festival was that of taking a cut if possible, but no fuss if not. They were not that keen.
Perhaps they were wary of revealing too much information, so they dared not appear eager.
This also resulted in them not providing much information to Fang Ze.
Only so public rumors about the Flower Morning Festival and... the identities and information of the five Flower God's Holy Maidens.
"Zhao Ena..."
"Qian Dieng..."
"Sun Nianyan..."
"Li Jingge..."
"Wu Xiuya..."
As he recited the nas of the five Flower God's Holy Maidens, Fang Ze felt his thoughts were in disarray and couldn't find any leads.
He planned to wait until tomorrow for Bai Zhi to fetch detailed information on these five people to see if there were any commonalities or anything strange...
As for now...
With so few clues, forceful analysis wouldn't yield any results.
So, there was no need to be so anxious. In the early stage, the focus should still be on gathering information.
And to gather information...
It seems he would have to resurrect his own Late-Night Investigation Room...
Fortunately, he already had a good candidate in mind.
With that thought, Fang Ze tiredly climbed out of the bathtub.
i had been standing by, dutifully helping Fang Ze dry off, and then assisted him back to his bedroom.
Lying in bed, Fang Ze fell into a deep sleep, and then headed to the Late-Night Investigation Room...
......
Waking up, Fang Ze found himself already in the Late-Night Investigation Room.
He reflexively glanced at the huge iron door in the room.
Miaomiao might indeed have been working very hard recently, as the "One" on the door seed to be getting brighter.
Next, Fang Ze confird the items he stored in the room and, after making sure everything was in order, he sat down on the chair and prepared to begin today's summoning.
As for his target for summoning, he had already planned it out.
Arriving in a new place, although it was necessary to quickly break ground, doing so didn't necessarily an he had to use new people.
