"Moreover, these council mbers are all seasoned politicians, tough to draw into a conversation, tough to interrogate. If you ask too little, there's no effect; ask too much, and you might startle the snake."
"This...."
Speaking to this point, Bai Zhi felt sowhat at a loss for words.
She couldn't help but look towards Fang Ze.
Unexpectedly, contrary to her thoughts, Fang Ze appeared full of confidence after reviewing the three reports.
He looked at Bai Zhi, then said with a smile, "If it weren't difficult, this task wouldn't have been assigned to . If I'm not mistaken, this is actually my trial task. If I pass, it will count as a visible achievent in the State Security Bureau for everyone to see, coupled with the director's support, taking control of the Judicial Departnt will be quite easy."
"And if I don't pass, the director won't offer much support and will rely consider an interim candidate. The follow-up cases are likely to be handled by them, and then they'll select a more suitable candidate."
"Our director is indeed frighteningly pragmatic."
After hearing Fang Ze's analysis, Bai Zhi couldn't help but say, "You're not wrong in your assessnt. But isn't this test a bit too difficult?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's concerns, Fang Ze just smiled, "Difficult? It might be difficult for you. But to , it's not difficult at all."
"Just wait, by tomorrow I should be able to confirm who the mole is."
"By the morning after tomorrow, I should very likely have the related leads and evidence."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's confident words, Bai Zhi stared at him in shock.
She wanted to remind Fang Ze that this task was different from interrogating prisoners, as it involved filtering suspects, not only would the target range be wide, but also many thods could not be used. Especially given the special status of these candidates, it would be even more troubleso.
But then she thought of Fang Ze's demonstrated skills and strategies, it was impossible that he hadn't considered this, so all she could do was look at him and say, "Good luck".....
As she left Fang Ze's room, Bai Zhi kept pondering how Fang Ze could accomplish this task. She had only known about Fang Ze's strong interrogation skills, the previous cases were solved by following the vine to find the lon, she hadn't heard that Fang Ze could identify criminals without interrogation...
...
After Bai Zhi left, Fang Ze took out pen and paper from the drawer and started frantically writing the investigation plans for these council mbers for the next two days, according to the reports, adding details and refining them one by one.
Continuing in this manner, he wrote until evening. Fang Ze and Bai Zhi then went downstairs to have dinner together.
After dinner, Fang Ze made a call to Nan Yi using the State Security Bureau's direct line, inquiring about any changes in the Security Bureau while he and Bai Zhi were away.
Nan Yi clearly had prepared well, detailing everything that had happened today at the Security Bureau.
Most of the events didn't catch Fang Ze's attention. Only two things made him take a slight note.
First, this afternoon, a car from the Governing Hall had co to pick up Gu Qing and Xun Yi. The license plate number wasn't Jiang Cheng's, but belonged to another council mber.
However, the council mber who previously used this license plate was clearly controlled by Fang Ze and wouldn't be using this car.
Nan Yi specifically paid attention to the occupants of that car, but it seed to be empty except for soone who looked like a secretary, who also invited Gu Qing and Xun Yi.
So Nan Yi speculated that a new council mber might have taken office in Erald City, likely from the Commoner Faction.
Second, this morning, people from Jiang Cheng had visited the Security Bureau, explicitly asking for Fang Ze. They left after learning Fang Ze had gone to the Provincial Governnt. Then, according to informants from Zhixi, Jiang Cheng had been untraceable since midday.
After hanging up the call, Fang Ze pondered over these two pieces of information.
The intel was clearly gathered by Nan Yi and processed by Zhixi, so the reliability and analysis were fairly credible.
A new council mber taking office while I'm gone, and closely interacting with Gu Qing and Xun Yi?
Fang Ze's mind reflexively thought of He Weidao.
A Municipal Councilor of a high-level city held a not insignificant rank; not many could arrange appointnts so easily. Moreover, Gu Qing and Xun Yi were already aligned with He Weidao, and the fact that they were summoned right away further solidified this likelihood.
But... with myself coming to the Provincial Governnt, what would He Weidao want with my hotown? Directly raiding the nest?
Fang Ze stroked his chin, deep in thought.
As for the second piece of information, Fang Ze was even more concerned.
His trip to the Provincial Governnt was to create an alibi for himself and to lower Jiang Cheng's guard. Now it seems... Jiang Cheng is smarter than I thought, as if he's sensed sothing.
But that's what makes it more interesting.
Fang Ze, considering Jiang Cheng's possible actions, thought that... the more Jiang Cheng panicked and acted, the more he might provide Fang Ze an opportunity to exploit.
He believed the four days of persistence had already frayed Jiang Cheng's nerves to their limit. No matter how he struggled, tonight he wouldn't escape Fang Ze's grasp.....
Perfect, as his identity and power were exactly what Fang Ze needed for his upcoming plans. This way, it would be making the best use of everything!
With such thoughts, Fang Ze didn't just wait around. After escorting Bai Zhi back to her room, Fang Ze returned to his own room, then tidied up and fell into a deep sleep.....
anwhile.
In the Jiang Family Manor within the Provincial Governnt of Xida State, within a bedroom's bathtub.
