When Xia Pingan and Guo Wei left the Gao family's manor, there were twice as many police cars parked outside.
There was even a team of special police!
They had been investigating the scene, but now they were searching.
Even if it was just for show, it was impossible for Chief Xu to be completely indifferent to everything he saw and heard in the meeting room.
In addition to the Gao family's manor, Chief Xu had already sent a team of police to the Gao family's mine to investigate and collect evidence. Once the mine incident could be confirmed, it would be clear whether the other things were true or false …
The laws of the Fire Country did indeed stipulate that the magical abilities of summoners and awakened ones could not be used as effective evidence in court, such as the mind reading ability of awakened ones. However, the laws of the Fire Country did not stipulate that the magical abilities of summoners and awakened ones could not be used as effective clues to solve cases.
"It's really hard to look straight at a wealthy family like the Gao family after lifting the lid. I didn't expect them to be so rotten, dirty, and unscrupulous …" Guo Wei drove while quietly sizing up Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. A trace of reverence rose in his heart for Xia Pingan. The secret technique to make the table speak was really shocking. No amount of tanks or cannons could compare to that ability.
Just that little secret technique had almost completely destroyed the Gao family's connections and network in Yizhou Province that they had operated for decades, completely pushing the Gao family into the abyss. This was something that tanks and cannons could not do.
Previously, there might have been some people who felt sorry for what had happened to the Gao family and wanted to pursue the matter. Now, those who were related to the Gao family should be preparing to completely cut ties with them. There were many police officers in the meeting room just now, including Chief Xu. Everything that happened in the meeting room could not be kept a secret, and it would probably spread throughout Yizhou Province very soon.
Concealing the mine accident and killing people in the mine might not push the entire Gao family into the abyss, but murdering a summoner of the Committee of Order and making a deal with the Demon Eye were definitely taboos. Any one of these four things could consign the Gao family to eternal damnation. The Gao family was completely dead in the officialdom of Yizhou Province, and no one wanted to have anything to do with the Gao family anymore.
However, what was the 'thing' that the Gao family mentioned in the meeting room just now? Why did Mu Qingchen say "killing one is also killing, killing two is also killing"? There seemed to be other summoners involved in the Gao family's "incident," but no one knew who exactly was involved …
Guo Wei had questions in his heart, but he didn't ask them. Perhaps these things were no longer important …
Even after he left the Gao Clan, he still felt that what had happened in the Gao Clan today was too unbelievable. The two Realm Pearls that Xia Pingan used before he used his secret technique were actually provided by the Gao Clan. The Gao Clan wanted to find the culprit, but they didn't expect to find him …
Xia Pingan, who was sitting in the car, also heaved a long sigh of relief. The matter of the Gao Family had finally come to an end. Killing the head of the Gao Family did not count as destroying the Gao Family. The secret technique in the conference room was the one that completely destroyed the Gao Family.
"Where are we going now?" Xia Pingan let out a long sigh and looked away from the car.
"To the army's logistics department!" Guo Wei replied.
…
More than 40 minutes later, Guo Wei brought Xia Pingan to the logistics department.
The logistics department was just a short name. The real name of this place was the 87th Legion's Logistics and Equipment Department's Special Equipment Management Department. This was the place where special personnel of the 87th Legion were provided with all kinds of strange special items and equipment. The Realm Pearls obtained by the legion would also be gathered here and handed over to the military.
The logistics department was located in a small airport in the suburbs of Xinchuan City that had been requisitioned. The airport could take off and land small airplanes and helicopters. There was also a regiment of troops stationed next to the airport.
After explaining the purpose of their visit, a major in the logistics department straightforwardly handed over two boxes, one big and one small, to Xia Pingan.
"We have received orders from the Legion Commander. The big box contains the two Realm Pearls. The small box contains the identity badges of the 87th Legion's priests. The army's priests' uniforms have to be made after measuring them. They can be done by tomorrow!"
"Thank you!" Xia Pingan nodded and received the two boxes.
"You're welcome. The Special Decoration Department is very happy to be able to provide our army's priest with the things he needs. We've already heard about the Requiem Ceremony at the stadium this morning. Our brothers all left very well and went to heaven one by one. The brothers of the 87th Division are very grateful to Priest Xia. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me …" A major in the Special Decoration Department said to Xia Pingan seriously.
"I'm just doing what I should do!"
Xia Pingan didn't expect the news of the Requiem Ceremony at the stadium this morning to have already spread throughout the 87th Legion in such a short time. He was treated with courtesy as soon as he arrived.
He had a great harvest today. He had just merged with two Realm Pearls at the Gao Family. He didn't expect to obtain two more here.
He had obtained four Realm Pearls in a day. This had broken his record for obtaining Realm Pearls.
"Is there anything else you need?" the major in the logistics department asked considerately.
"By the way, do you have any handguns here? I lost my previous one. I need a new one now!" Xia Pingan asked.
Handguns?
The two officers looked at each other and laughed. He actually asked the logistics department if they had any handguns. Wasn't this the same as asking if there were any trees in the forest or if there was water when he saw the Dragon King?
"Haha, we don't have much here, but we have enough guns!"
The major in the logistics department directly brought Xia Pingan to a storeroom. He asked someone to open the door of the storeroom and let them in.
F * ck!
The storeroom was basically a warehouse of special weapons and equipment. There were all kinds of standard and non-standard firearms and equipment. It was a dazzling sight.
Xia Pingan also saw the familiar figure of the Manuel MR98 among the firearms.
"I'll take this!" Xia Pingan said to Major Yan Jie.
The MR98 here did not have an optical scope on its silver body. It looked a lot simpler, but it was also more practical.
"This Manuel MR98 has a lot of fans in the Fire Country. Although it's not a standard handgun issued by the military, .50 Magnum bullets can be found in many places. By the way, do you need any special modifications to this handgun?"
"No need. Just give me a few hundred more silver bullets …"
…
After leaving the logistics department, Guo Wei brought Xia Pingan back to the Xinchuan City Stadium where the requiem ceremony had taken place in the morning.
The stadium's surroundings had been turned into a military encampment. The 87th Legion's headquarters and the legion hospital were nearby.
The 87th Legion arranged a "dormitory" for Xia Pingan in a newly requisitioned residential area near the stadium. The residential area was filled with newly built row houses. The houses hadn't been fully renovated yet. Only windows and doors had been installed, and water and electricity had been connected. Only a small part of the renovation was completed before it was requisitioned by the army.
Although the living conditions weren't very good, it was still better than living in a tent. Moreover, it was close to the stadium. Once they stepped out, they would be in the military encampment. In the future, the requiem ceremony would be held in the stadium. It was more convenient to "go to work".
According to the regulations, Xia Pingan, as the legion's priest, was assigned two bodyguards to be responsible for Xia Pingan's security and duties.
Guo Wei said the bodyguards would be on duty tomorrow morning.
After settling Xia Pingan down, Guo Wei left. He still had to report to Tang Guofeng about the Gao family.
After a busy day, Xia Pingan could finally relax.
It wasn't until Guo Wei left that Xia Pingan remembered that he hadn't eaten yet. After fusing with the two realm beads at the Gao family's residence, Xia Pingan was starving.
Xia Pingan looked around the house and only saw three big boxes of military canned food, one box of fruits, one box of dried vegetables, and one box of beef in the simple kitchen.
After eating three cans of food and being full, Xia Pingan finally had time to study the realm beads he had just received.
After returning to the bedroom with a camp bed and a sleeping bag on the floor, Xia Pingan opened the box containing the realm beads he had received from the logistics department.
There were two realm beads in the box. One was grey and one was black. Both of them were flashing with a faint light.
Inside the black realm bead, the light surged like waves. Two divine runes were bobbing up and down inside the realm bead. Every second, divine runes would appear and disappear. Upon closer inspection, the two divine runes were actually two words — — Yu The Great …
