"Our people in North Tranquility City have completely analyzed the crystal processor," Mosquito said quickly.
Mosquito said quickly, "Although the browsing history has been cleared, a lot of data was still derived after the technical repairs. The crystal processor browsed a lot of information about the assault of the beast tides in the capital city, Ding Lingdang, Professor Mo Xuan, and the space residents two days ago. In the end, it also browsed the information about the hundred-day memorial meeting for the victims in the capital city."
"The owner of the crystal processor confirmed that he did not search for the information. Therefore, somebody else used his crystal processor. The browsing time was the same as the time when the owner of the crystal processor was asleep.
"The intelligence matches the intelligence that we have before. We are almost certain that the target of the enemy is the capital city!
"That's why we issued the 'superstorm alarm' and summoned everybody!"
Guo Chunfeng was like a sleepy cat that lay on the old cushion. Hazy brilliance popped up around him, as if he had entered a mysterious state. A moment later, he yawned and said, "If the enemy is really Li Yao, he must've known that we have seen through his identity as the Blood Devil. It is impossible for him to fly on a sword openly if he wants to reach the capital city.
"The distance between North Tranquility City and the capital city is more than ten thousand kilometers. It is impossible for him to choose to walk or short-distance vehicles. Partly, it is too slow. Partly, there are checkpoints and surveillance cameras everywhere in the inland. The risk of being exposed is even higher.
"The only reasonable choice is the civil carriers, crystal trains, and other long-distance vehicles.
"In order to take such vehicles, a legal ID is required. Li Yao is an expert of disguise and infiltration. But no matter how he disguises himself, a legal ID card that stores a lot of information can't be real. It is impossible for him to create it out of thin air.
"Investigate!
"Concentrate all the resources in the northern district to North Tranquility City. Investigate all the cases and disputes related to ID cards! Note that it is not necessarily a case of stolen ID cards. It can also be a case of missing ID cards that are later found. Find out everything! "
Mosquito and the other Secret Sword Agents looked at each other in bewilderment. "Boss, if it is only a case of stolen ID cards, it will be easy to investigate. But if the ID cards are later found after being lost, 99% of them will not be reported to the police. It will be very troublesome to investigate!"
Guo Chunfeng took a sip of the tea. He licked off a piece of tea leaf on his lips and put it into his mouth. He chewed with relish. "Put yourself in my shoes. If you were Li Yao and needed to get a few identification cards, what would you do?"
"Steal from the streets? How do you know who has an ID card and who doesn't? You can't just throw a net all over the place and steal a dozen or twenty wallets to try your luck, right? "
"Even a powerful cultivator will leave a lot of traces after stealing ten to twenty wallets."
"You will definitely choose a place. Everyone who goes there has to carry their ID cards, so it's easier for you to target them. "
"Where would everyone carry their ID cards? The banks, the business halls where water, electricity, and spiritual energy use fees are paid, and the entertainment places that only adults are allowed to enter! "
"Let's start with these places."
Mosquito and the Secret Sword Agents were greatly enlightened. After calculating on the light beam for a while, he nodded quickly and said, "In that case, the range of investigation will be greatly reduced. I estimate that there will be a result in twenty-four hours!"
"24 hours?"
Guo Chunfeng frowned hard. "That's too slow. We cannot give Li Yao so much time. How about this? Let's change our approach. Let's work on two fronts! "
"After Li Yao steals an ID card, he will use a new identity. He will take a crystal train or a civil carrier to the capital city.
"Yes. The security check of the civil carriers is very strict. The possibility of a crystal train is still higher. "
"However, it will be Li Yao who will take a crystal train to the capital city, not the owner of the ID card!
"Then, it's simple. Find the list of all the passengers on the crystal trains and civil carriers that have left for the capital city from North Tranquility City in the past three days and send messages to them one by one to make sure that they are contacted.
"Remember, don't use the spiritual crane messenger numbers that they left when they bought the tickets. The numbers are very likely to be fake. Please ask the police of North Tranquility City to cooperate with us. Use the spiritual crane messenger numbers that the passengers left when they talked to the government agencies.
"If it is found that a passenger who 'should' be going to the capital city is still in North Tranquility City, then, Li Yao will be pretending to be him!
"If a passenger cannot be reached, pay special attention, too. It is very possible that he has been killed by Li Yao."
Mosquito was dumbfounded. "Boss, all the passengers from North Tranquility City to the capital city in the past three days? The — the list is an astronomical number. It is a hundred times more difficult than investigating for lost ID cards! "
"No. It won't be very difficult."
Guo Chunfeng smiled. "Li Yao does not have a legal identity, and he does not dare use the Spiritual Nexus. Therefore, it is impossible for him to buy tickets through the bank cards that are bound to his identity. Therefore, all you need to do is investigate the list of all the passengers who have bought tickets with cash and anonymous cards in the ticketing hall.
"The Spiritual Nexus is very developed nowadays. Most people buy tickets online. Even if they buy tickets at the window, they mostly pay with cards. Few of them buy tickets with cash!"
Mosquito and the other Secret Sword Agents' eyes were glittering. They looked at Guo Chunfeng with even more admiration and nodded quickly. "Understood. We'll investigate it right away. In such a case, the result will be out in no more than five hours!"
"Go now. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important. I'm going to take a nap. There's still a long 'game' to come."
Guo Chunfeng leaned deeper into the soft chair and covered himself with a blanket that had lost all its fur in the corner.
"Right, boss."
Mosquito thought of something else. "The Third Division has sent today's brief. Li Yao's last high school classmate and the scoundrel nicknamed 'Fat Dragon' who used to live with him in the magical equipment graveyard have all been found.
"As of 7: 29 a.m. today, all of Li Yao's connections in the Tian Yuan Realm, including Ding Ling Dong, Professor Mo Xuan, the Cultivators from the Flying Star Sector, his partners in the magical equipment graveyard, and all his classmates in the Chixiao No. 2 High School and the Grand Desolate War Institution have been locked onto!
"According to the Third Division, they have mobilized a team of almost a hundred experts to track the Spiritual Nexus, led by Professor Gu Mo, the only Yuanying level specialist in the Federation, to ensure that Li Yao's entire network of connections is under surveillance without any blind spots!
"As long as Li Yao sends a message to Ding Lingdang, Professor Mo Xuan, and the rest of them, even if it is only a word or a code, it will be detected and the source of the message will be located in ten seconds!
"Hmm. Hmm!"
Giant bubbles of mucus were popping up from Guo Chunfeng's nose. He was about to fall asleep.
"Boss?"
Mosquito moaned cautiously.
Guo Chunfeng was suddenly woken up. He mumbled in dissatisfaction, "Don't waste my time on such boring stuff. The guys in the Third Division are used to capturing evil Cultivators. They don't think that any Cultivator is a good guy. They are always adding to the trouble!
"I assume that they have found nothing after spending so many resources on monitoring Li Yao's network, right?"
Mosquito nodded. "Yes. It's really strange. Li Yao hasn't contacted any of his old acquaintances yet. How can he hold himself back?"
"Only a Vulture can hold himself back."
Guo Chunfeng closed his eyes and said casually, "If he can't hold himself back, a small mosquito like you will be slapped to death by a casual slap!
"Hehe. Vulture Li Yao is arguably the most dangerous person in the Federation in the past hundred years. How can he not know that his old connections must be under our control? Sending even the slightest bit of information to an old acquaintance is like walking right into a trap! "
"Even if he does want to send a message to his old acquaintances, he will certainly adopt a method that is unexpected to us and will not be monitored or interfered with. Why would he send the message through the Spiritual Nexus stupidly?
"Do the guys in the Third Division think that Li Yao is a common evil Cultivator that they have captured before? Idiots!
"Right. What are the reactions of the Cultivators who are being monitored? Especially Ding Ling Dong, Professor Mo Xuan, and the fellow Cultivators from the Flying Star Sector? Do they know that they are being monitored? "
Mosquito nodded and said, "They do. Professor Mo Xuan is one of the best specialists of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus in the Federation himself. Such a thorough monitoring cannot have escaped their eyes. Besides, our friends in the Flying Star Sector are involved. It is impossible for them to monitor us in secret at the risk of a diplomatic conflict.
"Therefore, we sent a letter to them in the name of the Secret Sword Bureau last night, asking for their cooperation.
"As for their attitude, naturally, they are very dissatisfied, especially Ding Ling Dong and Professor Mo Xuan. They do not believe that Li Yao has joined the Pantheon of Demons. They are not cooperating with the Third Division at all."
"Those idiots. I have to clean up their mess for them every time."
Guo Chunfeng adjusted his posture and slept more comfortably. He sniffed and said, "Ding Ling Dong, Professor Mo Xuan, and Luoxingzi, the leader of the Cultivators from the Flying Star Sector, should all be in the capital city, right? Help me make an appointment with them, preferably tonight, so that we can have dinner and have a good talk.
"Officially, the issue concerns national security. There is absolutely no room for objection.
"Privately, they do not believe Li Yao's betrayal, do they? Then, it is all the more reason for them to cooperate with our work and find out the truth as soon as possible so that Li Yao can be proven innocent!
"Tell them the latest progress of the work. Promise them that, if they are willing to cooperate, we will send detailed briefings to them three times a day and invite them to join us when we capture Li Yao in the end!
"If they do not want Li Yao to fall into other people's hands, please understand and cooperate with our work!"
Mosquito nodded heavily. "Understood, boss!"
"Go now!"
Guo Chunfeng waved his hands in confusion and covered his greasy head with a blanket.
He had made all the arrangements. Before the information about the investigation was sent back, he should have a good sleep and recharge himself.
But he could not fall asleep no matter how hard he tossed and turned. His nerves that were usually thick were vaguely aching right now.
In a trance, he felt that he had made a mistake, a critical mistake.
