Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

When Xingxiong walked into the office and saw Chen's strange outfit, she was taken aback for a moment, and then a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes, "Is this another mission going? Where are you going? The slums?"

"Yeah." Chen nodded silently.

"Slum area...do you want me to go with you?" Hoshiguma said with a smile.

Before joining the Guards Bureau, Hoshiguma was also in the slums, and he was even regarded as a tyrant in the slums, but after some accidents happened, he was recruited by Wei Yanwu and became a member of the Guards Bureau.

With Hoshiguma's bold personality, she can do well no matter where she is. Even if she becomes a police officer of the Guards Bureau, her old friends in the slums will still give her face.

So in order to avoid trouble, when it comes to slums, Chen usually brings Hoshiguma with him.

But this time something is different.

"No," Chen shook his head and counted, "I'm going to meet an informant in a slum this time. Your goal is too obvious."

Hearing this, Hoshiguma patted the back of his head without embarrassment, and said, "Haha, is that so? Then there's nothing I can do about it."

Hoshiguma's height of nearly [-] meters is very conspicuous no matter where it is placed, and there are not many ghosts in Longmen, which means that Hoshiguma can't hide his identity at all.

"But I went to meet the informant... and it's because of the thing you're investigating? The smuggling case?"

"Ah."

"You're really... persistent..." Upon hearing that Chen hadn't given up on the case, Xingxiong couldn't help spreading his hands, and looked at her helplessly.

Smuggling... how should I put it, it's not that the Guards Bureau can't handle it, it just doesn't want to.

As long as the slums exist, it will be impossible to eradicate smuggling... Perhaps even if the slums disappear, smuggling will still remain.

No lord can make his mobile city airtight, the larger the scale, the more difficult it is, and it is even more impossible for a level like Longmen.

As time went by, the Guards Bureau didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, they could just keep out of sight and out of mind, and treat those people as if they didn't exist.

It is very rare for Chen to cling to this matter like Chen.

This was the first personal task given by Chen after he became the deputy director. It has been nearly three months now, and many informants in the slums have been activated, but there is still nothing to gain.

When the matter developed to this point, even those who supported Chen at the beginning had a different voice inside.

"My informant told me that he had very important information this time, and he said on the phone that it might be risky, so he wanted to meet me in person." Chen said very calmly.

After she finished speaking, she added, "I know that none of you are willing to waste your energy on such trivial matters, but I can assure you... the smuggling during this period of time is a bit unusual."

"According to the exact information we have obtained, in just three months, the number of people smuggled into the Dragon Gate has increased dozens of times compared to the past, but the number of people who have left the Dragon Gate has not changed much. This means that at least thousands of unknown people have sneaked into the Longmen and lurked in the slums."

"The nature of the matter has risen to the point where it may threaten the safety of Longmen, no matter how important it is, it cannot be overemphasized."

Perhaps because the person questioning Chen this time was an old friend of hers, it was rare for Chen to make a long speech, telling Xingxiong all his discoveries and worries.

"Dozens of times? So many?" Hearing this, Hoshiguma couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Before knowing the full picture of the matter, she thought it was only one or two hundred people, but when the number expanded to four digits, it was indeed a bit abnormal... If this group of people is going to do something in Longmen, even if If the foundation of Longmen cannot be shaken, it will also give the Guard Bureau a reputation for ineffectiveness.

Chen's concerns are still warranted.

Immediately, Xingxiong smacked his lips and said to Chen, "Then shall I contact those old friends of mine for you? They should know something."

Hearing Hoshiguma's proposal, Chen didn't answer immediately, but frowned and thought carefully, weighing the pros and cons of doing so.

The strength of the Guard Bureau in the slums is really very limited. Even the informant that Chen is going to meet today was developed by herself a few years ago.

As for those old friends that Hoshiguma talked about... To be honest, Chen didn't want to trust them.

But now three months have passed, and the Guard Bureau still hasn't collected any useful information, and only judged the approximate number of people through rough statistics.

As for who organized the smuggling and what their purpose was, the Guard Bureau knew nothing about this key information.

"...After I come back, if there is still nothing to gain, I will trouble you, Hoshiguma." After thinking for a while, Chen said slowly.

The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the situation. If it still fails this time, then it is necessary to make some risky moves.

Hoshiguma smiled, patted his chest and said, "No problem, just wrap it on me."

"That's how it is..." Chen nodded, "It's almost time to meet, so I'll leave first."

With that said, Chen stepped over Hoshiguma's body and walked towards the exit of the office.

"Old Chen, wait!"

Just when Chen was about to open the door of the office, Xingxiong suddenly stopped her.

"...Is there anything else?" Chen turned his head and asked.

Xingxiong seemed a little hesitant, she opened her mouth, and hesitated for a long time before she spoke, "It may not be appropriate for me to say these words, but I still want to tell you in the end...don't think of Mr. Wei... Too bad."

Chen's hand on the door froze suddenly, and the next moment, she pushed the door open and walked out without any abnormality.

In the sound of closing the door with a 'bang', the three light words fell into the ears of Xingxiong with a wry smile on his face.

"I will."

-------------------------------------

When Chen was about to go to the slums to meet his informant, at the same moment, in the downstairs room of Penguin Logistics, with the ripples in the air, two figures appeared very abruptly. into the room.

After nearly three months, Li Ke and Angelina finally returned to this place again. "Finally home!!"

After several teleportations, Angelina was almost used to this feeling, but her face turned pale for a few seconds, and soon returned to normal.
