Let's start by analyzing the sun

All along.

A deep concern had always existed in Cheng Han's heart.

When he took office as the director of the Anhua City Inspection Department, he discovered that nearly 800 civilians had disappeared in the city within the past six months.

This was an alarming number.

And in Qinglin City.

Black Cat led its army of cats, scouring almost the entire city, and also discovered a large number of missing civilians.

The same situation occurred in Beiting City, the third city of the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm.

Later.

On the night of the异神之语, Cheng Han personally oversaw Dongyuan and was attacked by a large number of flying monsters, the "Sin Bat-Snakes."

He immediately realized that the enemy was likely using the bat-snake swarm to transport the missing people to hidden areas far from the city at night.

The deduction confirmed this guess.

The illusion showed bat-snakes grabbing figures and flying into the distant darkness.

Cheng Han once suspected that the Dream Genesis Society might be planning a large-scale blood sacrifice to help the Snake Lady fully awaken.

However.

Recently, a group of Netherworld operatives, along with Black Cat, had been searching in the wilderness, but had not found any clues.

It was as if they had completely disappeared from the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm.

This indicated that the enemy's scheme was likely extraordinary, hence their extreme caution.

At this moment.

Cheng Han stared at the black ripples in the halo picture, and for some reason, he thought of the missing people.

He muttered to himself, "Could this big fish be related to the missing people?"

Logically, it seemed unlikely.

Because there was simply no place in the city that could hide hundreds of people without being discovered, and the deduction results showed that the bat-snakes did indeed come from somewhere outside the city.

Cheng Han hesitated for a moment, then immediately made up his mind: "Anyway, trying it won't cost me anything, so let's do a deduction!"

With a thought.

Hundreds of dim stars shot over and crashed directly into the halo.

They represented the connections to the missing people.

A group of Netherworld operatives and Black Cat had secretly contacted many personal items left behind by the missing people, and only then had they captured these connections.

Because the aura on the items was not very strong, the connections were relatively weak, so the stars looked quite dim.

In an instant.

The halo expanded slightly.

The black ripples suddenly collapsed, and some fragmented clips flashed in the picture.

This was obviously the connections of those missing people, slightly breaking through the concealment power, revealing a little of the hidden truth.

Cheng Han was overjoyed: "The big fish is really related to the missing people!"

With another thought.

Dozens of stars lit up and then disappeared into the center of the halo.

This was precisely the connection left over from killing the bat-snake swarm last time.

This time.

The picture did not change at all.

Cheng Han was a little confused: "Why aren't the bat-snakes related to the big fish?"

Logically speaking.

The bat-snake swarm was responsible for transporting the missing people, and the missing people were related to the big fish, so the bat-snakes should also be related to the big fish.

This was really contrary to common sense!

He suppressed his doubts and began to observe the broken pictures in the halo.

After a long while.

Cheng Han murmured in a very low voice: "A door?"

He recalled some of his experiences as a patrol officer, and his eyes became deeper: "If that's really the case, then it's too interesting!"

The next day.

The New Year atmosphere in the Parliament Hall suddenly became intense.

Every door in the Parliament Building was pasted with exquisite celebratory colored paintings, and the core theme of the paintings was related to the Myriad Manifestations Divine Banyan.

Without exception.

The two metal doors of this building, each four meters high, were covered with two meticulously carved relief murals.

When Cheng Han came to "work" in the morning, he deliberately stood in front of the door for a while, looking up at the giant paintings with great interest.

The dignified Grand Governor was just standing there, and the staff members who were coming in and out all dared not approach.

The originally busy entrance was actually "cleared" like that.

There was no way around it.

This Lord's reputation was too great.

Even the two Deputy Governors would unconsciously tremble when they saw him, let alone ordinary staff members?

Cheng Han noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye and gave the female secretary a wink.

Xie You immediately gestured to the staff and whispered, "Those who should go in, go in, those who should go out, go out, what's the matter with all of you standing here?"

A group of people dared not disobey and quickly moved.

Interestingly, everyone tacitly chose to enter the hall along the right door frame and exit the hall along the left door frame.

No one dared to step into the forbidden zone within two meters of Cheng Han.

As if this place was a terrifying dragon's pool and tiger's den.

This fact made the corners of his mouth twitch.

I don't eat people?

Is it necessary?

Cheng Han shook his head slightly and continued to observe the relief murals.

The theme of the two paintings was also the Divine Banyan, and because the area was very large, there were many details presented.

For example.

Each painting had hundreds of leaves of various sizes, and the outline of the city could be seen on each of the larger leaves.

This was obviously the Small Spirit Realm.

Also, for example.

Some very thick Divine Banyan spirit branches were hung with slightly raised round cakes, with strange patterns carved on the surface, looking like fruits.

Cheng Han looked at the female secretary and asked a strange question in a low voice: "Does the Divine Banyan bear fruit?"

Xie You was stunned for a moment and shook her head blankly: "I don't seem to have heard of it."

For example.

At the very top of the Divine Banyan, a particularly large sphere was suspended above, and several thin lines connected the sphere and the Divine Banyan.

Cheng Han stared at it for several seconds.

Xie You followed her superior's gaze and saw the sphere, guessing: "This is probably a decoration painted by the painter."

Cheng Han nodded: "Perhaps."

He knew too many secret knowledge that ordinary people did not know, and he did not think so in his heart.

The Myriad Manifestations Divine Banyan was the place where the human race lived, and it was also a super divine object that protected the human race. Even if it was just a related portrait, which painter would dare to paint it randomly?

There was a special serious crime in the law - the crime of blaspheming the Divine Banyan.

The punishment was also extremely severe, with a "starting price" of twenty years of hard labor.

Cheng Han felt in his heart that the "fruit" or "sphere" on the giant painting must symbolize some unknown existence.

He waved his hand: "Let's go!"

(This paragraph is not padding, see the explanation later)

After the two left, the traffic jam in the hall was greatly relieved.

And the fact that "His Excellency the Grand Governor watched the colored paintings on the door for a minute" became the "top news" of the entire Parliament Hall.

*

Naturally.

The Grand Governor's office was also completely changed to a new look.

And it was an extremely luxurious new look.

The original gray carpet was replaced with a more festive red one; hundreds of ribbons were hung on the ceiling, interspersed with many colored lights; the original green plants were removed, replaced by dozens of potted green banyans.

Each green banyan had tender green buds scattered on its branches.

These green buds heralded a new beginning.

Or rather - the New Year.

As usual.

Cheng Han leisurely entered the luxurious restaurant attached to the office, and the female secretary quickly instructed the maid to bring over a sumptuous breakfast.

This was one of the Grand Governor's benefits.

Three meals free!

The female secretary personally served as a maid, serving her superior during the meal.

While enjoying the food, Cheng Han also checked the little girl's new messages.

"The Qinglin City Parliament Hall sent New Year's gifts in advance, one of which was for you, and the Qian family got a share too.

Last night, my dad was so happy that he drank several more glasses. He said it was the first time in his life that he had received a New Year's gift from the Parliament Hall..."

Although it was just an insignificant daily matter.

It had a special sense of warmth when read.

Cheng Han was still hesitating about how to deal with the "big fish", but now he finally made up his mind: "The other party likes to hide their head and tail, so I will flush them out.

In three days it will be the New Year, so why not send Mr. Big Fish a New Year's gift on the first day of the New Year."

Now that the general direction was set, the details still needed careful consideration.

This was his habit of doing things.

Striving for perfection in the details.

Only in this way could the success rate be improved.

*

Half an hour later.

Breakfast was over.

Cheng Han began to formally fulfill the duties of the Grand Governor - the daily business meeting.

In the past few days.

This matter was attended by the female secretary on his behalf.

Today was Cheng Han's first time attending the meeting.

As the Grand Governor, he naturally made a final appearance.

The moment he stepped into the conference room.

"Swish!"

All the personnel stood up in unison and shouted in unison: "Your Excellency, we salute you!"

Cheng Han's gaze swept across the trembling faces and nodded: "Sit down."

"Swish!"

These officials sat down obediently, behaving more well-behaved than elementary school students.

In fact.

The daily actions of some of these officials could be described as "tyrannical", but the Grand Governor's reputation was too great, and everyone kept their tails between their legs.

Cheng Han turned his gaze to the female secretary and said concisely: "You preside, I'll listen."

Xie You responded: "Okay."

Miss Enchantress cleared her throat and said loudly: "The main topic of this meeting is how to prepare for the New Year celebration..."

Cheng Han listened on the surface, but his mind turned elsewhere.

Because he had received Black Cat's investigation report.

That's right!

This was indeed a report.

For a cat, this was a truly amazing thing.

In the past.

The investigation information sent by Black Cat was often scattered and disorganized, and Cheng Han needed to sort it out himself.

But just last month.

Black Cat suddenly started writing investigation reports in a serious manner.

It must be said that the format and content were well-organized, and the logic was quite good.

Just like this report.

"This Meow highly suspects that Liu Wei's father fell into a carefully arranged trap by the Dream Genesis Society, and Liu's residence became a secret base of the Dream Genesis Society without his knowledge."

The name of the opening first gave the conclusion.

Although the word "This Meow" in the report was a bit funny.

"According to various investigations, Liu Wei's father loves to collect antiques, especially objects with a history of more than three thousand years.

"Over the years, his expenditure on purchasing antiques has not been less than four hundred gold coins, and he has set up an antique display room in the basement.

"This is highly consistent with the master's deduction, and the secret power that interferes with the deduction should come from the display room."

The report was accompanied by a long list.

This was precisely the list of antiques in the display room, including the name of each antique, the approximate purchase time, the purchase amount, and so on.

And within just one day, this information was sorted out, which shows how much effort Black Cat put in.

Cheng Han nodded secretly.

Not bad!

The logic was very tight!

"This Meow believes that the Dream Genesis Society used antique dealers to sell a secret object, disguised as an antique, to Liu Wei's father.

"This Meow will use the antique list as a clue to investigate the relevant personnel one by one until the suspicious person is found."

Objectively speaking, this was a very good idea.

Cheng Han immediately praised: "Chief, you did a great job!"

The soul link immediately sent Black Cat's response: "Meow! Meow meow!"

The cry was full of joy.

Cheng Han disconnected the link, and his eyes became deeper: "Antiques? It seems that my judgment was correct, maybe this is really a door."
