Watching Li Fei's retreating figure, Li Lei couldn't shake a sense of familiarity for so reason.
However, he never associated Green-faced Ghost with Li Fei.
What a joke, how could my little Xiao Fei be so formidable?
...
After leaving the combat zone, Li Fei first entered a hideout he had prepared in advance, using Chicken Crown Blood to remove traces from his body, then quietly changed his clothes before slipping away.
Over two hours later, Li Fei, carrying a person, walked into the Inspection Bureau.
At this ti, Li Lei and the others had just returned, capturing more than two hundred mbers of the Tiger Saber Gang and seizing over two hundred firearms!
"Xiao Fei!"
Li Lei hurried over as soon as he heard the news, looking Li Fei up and down, "How are you, are you alright?"
Li Fei smiled and shook his head, "Uncle Li, I'm fine, just suffered so minor injuries."
"That's good! That's good!"
Only then did Li Lei completely relax.
"Who's this?"
He looked at the person Li Fei was carrying.
"Uncle Li, it was him who suddenly burst into the Martial Arts Hall and abducted . Later, Green-faced Ghost intervened to rescue ."
Li Fei put down the person, "This is Hu'en Tuso."
"This is Hu'en Tuso?!"
Li Lei's heart leapt with joy.
He had heard Green-faced Ghost loudly shouting this na before, identifying the man as a spy from i Jia Country.
"Fantastic, he's a key figure!"
Li Lei was visibly elated.
This was a matter of treason, and it could involve a wide range of individuals—it was no small issue!
"But he's already dead."
Li Fei said.
"Ah?"
Li Lei was taken aback.
Li Fei spread his hands, "After Senior Green-faced Ghost saved , he dragged this man away for questioning. When he returned, this man was already dead."
He had struck Hu'en Tuso in front of him, so he definitely couldn't leave him alive, otherwise, his identity would be exposed.
"Died during the questioning?"
Li Lei crouched down to examine Hu'en Tuso's state of death.
It was not uncommon for prisoners to be killed by excessive force during interrogations.
"What a pity, with his death, a lot of important information is lost."
Li Lei said regretfully.
"Uncle Li, it's okay, this is his confession."
Li Fei took a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Li Lei, "It says here that Hu'en Tuso's accomplices are more than one. The rest entered the city with people from the Calming Sect, you might have already captured them."
Li Lei imdiately began reading the paper.
It detailed how over the years, Hu'en Tuso and others had provided Yu Hu with funding and what kind of support they offered.
This also implicated a series of key figures, both from the underworld and legitimate circles, not just in Xing City, but across the entire Datong Prefecture!
The more Li Lei read, the more solemn his expression beca.
This matter was no longer sothing that Xing City's Inspection Bureau could handle. He might even need to alert the provincial-level governnt officials.
"Xiao Fei, go sit in my office and rest for a while, I still have matters to attend to."
After speaking, Li Lei left hastily; he wanted to verify if any of the spies from i Jia Country were among those captured today.
Fifteen minutes later, five spies from i Jia Country were identified.
Among these five, one was a Refining Strength Martial Master, the very one who had killed Qi Zhongfa.
The remaining four were martial masters at the Qi Change Stage!
They had been severely injured in the battle with the City Guard Army and had no strength left to fight, which is why the Inspection Bureau's personnel easily captured them.
After identifying these five, Li Lei had them incarcerated in separate cells, thickened the chains on them, replaced their handcuffs and shackles with specially made ones, and arranged for ard guards to watch over the cells 24 hours a day.
After all arrangents were made, Li Lei found Lu Sheng and called him into a room alone.
"Old Lu, take a look at this."
Li Lei handed over the piece of evidence from Hu'en Tuso's confession to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took the paper, and after reading it, he was first shocked, then his expression grew increasingly grim.
When he got to a particular section, his face suddenly changed and his eyes began to redden.
The evidence also described the events of the 'Luoshan Incident,' with Hu'en Tuso admitting that it was Yu Hu who led him and a few accomplices to collaborate with the Calming Sect, jointly capturing four official martial masters from Zhi Ge Court.
Although Lu Sheng had already been certain that the 'Luoshan Incident' was orchestrated by the Tiger Saber Gang, it wasn't until he saw this evidence that he truly understood the full story of that event.
The most unbelievable aspect of the 'Luoshan Incident' were the three Refining Strength Martial Masters who suddenly appeared.
One of the Refining Strength Martial Masters was impersonated by Yu Hu, which was easy to guess, as both the Implant and the Force matched.
But the remaining two Refining Strength Martial Masters were not accounted for in any intelligence records, which was baffling!
From the Body Breaking Stage to the Qi Change Stage, most martial artists must endure life-or-death challenges to strengthen their Mind Power, and this process inevitably leaves traces. Thus, even nurturing one unknown martial master would be difficult, let alone a Refining Strength Martial Master?
This was precisely why Lu Sheng had been unable to conclusively determine the Tiger Saber Gang's involvent before—as all the Refining Strength Martial Masters from the gang were in the Zhi Ge Court and had not left on that day. Even the martial masters and martial artists of the Tiger Saber Gang did not leave Xing City that day, and this was verifiable.
Now everything made sense.
The individuals involved that day were Hu'en Tuso, another Refining Strength Martial Master, and several martial masters. All these people were spies from i Jia Country, they hadn't beco martial artists within the boundaries of the Da Lan Dynasty, so naturally, they left no trace behind.
