Once, I wanted to be a good person

```

She always felt as if something was not quite right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

So, she nodded, "That makes some sense, I suppose."

Then, tentatively, she said, "I can tell you the clues and intelligence information."

"However, I must make it clear in advance. Due to earlier waste, we no longer have any lie-detection-class Extraordinary Artifacts on hand."

She paused, then added, "Nor do we have any other similar artifacts."

"So, you will have to rely on your 'brain' to find the mole."

When she said "brain," she emphasized the word, clearly remembering how Fang Ze had previously mocked her for lack of intelligence in his letter.

Fang Ze nodded unconcernedly and then said confidently, "Don't worry. Catching a mole is no big deal. No Extraordinary Artifact is needed."

"I already have a rough plan in mind. I just need some clues from you to narrow down the range."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi furrowed her brows deeply...

No need for a Lie Detection Treasure?

Not even any Transcendent Artifact?

Just relying on brainpower and reasoning?

How could that be possible...?

She had used artifacts to interrogate so many people, spent so much time, and still hadn't found the mole. And Fang Ze could do it without anything?

She felt it was almost magical.

Could this guy really just be here to trick her out of intelligence?

With that thought, Bai Zhi involuntarily opened her mouth, then asked, "Fang Ze, do you think this could be a possibility?"

"You contacted us today, put on this show deliberately, just to trick the intelligence out of us, to see how much we know about your accomplices' clues."

"Then, is it to facilitate your accomplice's hiding and escape?"

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He said, "Commissioner... if your brain really isn't that sharp, please don't overthink things. When you do, I can't help but laugh."

Bai Zhi had never been subjected to such "humiliation" before; her beautiful face flushed red. She stared at Fang Ze, unconvinced.

Smiling, Fang Ze explained, "Commissioner. Think about it."

"If... I wanted to help an 'accomplice' escape, why would I have escaped alone the day before yesterday?"

"Wouldn't it have been better for us to arrange a plan together, using the Awakening Ability to Transfer, or for him to escape in the chaos?"

"Moreover, after my escape, the Special Case Team should have been under martial law."

"My 'accomplice' trapped under your tight security net. Even if I knew his information, how would that help him escape?"

"Besides, let's say my purpose isn't to aid his escape but to help him hide. But don't forget, reinforcements from the Security Bureau are arriving in two days. What's the point of hiding for two more days?"

"You weren't planning to catch the mole in these two days anyway. Isn't what I'm doing superfluous?"

Listenting to Fang Ze's well-reasoned argument, Bai Zhi's face turned alternately red and white. Clearly embarrassed by her previous suspicion, she had to keep quiet and then signaled to Bai Ling to tell Fang Ze the intelligence information....

......

Five minutes later, Fang Ze listened attentively to the intelligence narrated by Bai Ling.

How should it be put... He thought his previous ridicule was justified.

These two silly girls, one big and one small, thought they could solve the case?

It would be fortunate if they weren't toyed with and completely fooled.

The reason Fang Ze was so critical was because, after all this time, the girls had only "lie detection" as useful information. They had nothing else.

If Fang Ze hadn't already had a plan in mind, he might have been at a loss on the spot.

While internally criticizing, Fang Ze picked up a twig and started scribbling on the ground, re-calculating the problem Bai Zhi had worked on.

The ability of lie detection could be used 44 times, but in reality it had been used 49 times.

That's 5 times too many.

Since it's an odd number, it implies that there is at least one mole, if not more, among the ordinary investigators.

There could be at most two moles, or fewer, within myself, the 5 prime suspects, and the Security Bureau Commissioner.

The first statue broke only after the 24th investigator was scrutinized, and the first 24 people investigated were all different.

This means that among the first 24 people, two masked their presence from the artifact's test, and the 24th investigator is definitely not the mole.

Excluding myself and Wang Hao, whose identity was confirmed in the Late-Night Investigation Room, there are only 21 people left.

Among these 21 people, there are 3 prime suspects: the chief, Shan Hui, Cui Xuemin; 11 Security Bureau Commissioners, and 7 investigators.

If the two moles are among the investigators, and neither the prime suspects nor the Security Bureau Commissioners are moles,

That would mean there are 5 moles among the 14 investigators (21 people, minus myself, Wang Hao, Cui Xuemin, and the other six prime suspects and the deceased Han Kaiwei).

Moreover, these five moles inexplicably killed Han Kaiwei while Bai Zhi was investigating Cui Xuemin and the four others.

The probability of that is too small.

So, it's very likely that out of the three moles, two are among the three prime suspects and 11 Security Bureau Commissioners.

One is among the 14 investigators.

And according to Bai Zhi, after I escaped, one investigator tried to follow, but was caught on the spot and killed, bearing the mark of the organization (Chapter 46).

With that, there are only two moles left. They should be among the prime suspects and the 11 Security Bureau Commissioners.

The range has been narrowed down directly to 14 people, which isn't a big problem for Fang Ze's plan.

Having thought this through, Fang Ze contemplated seriously for a moment, and after confirming there were no issues, he said to Bai Zhi, "Commissioner. I know how to find these two moles now. I just need some cooperation from your side."

.......

While Fang Ze was calculating, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling were sitting on the bed, also whispering quietly to each other.

```

Bai Ling, "Bai, do you think Fang Ze can really do it?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "I don't know."

She whispered, "But I always feel it's very difficult."

"We've analyzed and calculated it too, and at most we can only narrow the target down to a range of a dozen people. We can't narrow it down any further."

"The internal traitor isn't a carp that will jump out by itself. So...."

She had only gotten halfway through her sentence when Fang Ze's voice rang in her ears, "Commissioner, I know how to find the two traitors. I just need your cooperation."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi momentarily stopped the words that were about to leave her mouth, as she and Bai Ling exchanged a glance, both reading surprise in each other's eyes.

He has a plan so soon?

The two of us have been pondering for days without a clue!

Could it be.... are we really that dumb?

With this thought, Bai Zhi couldn't help but look towards Fang Ze, and then asked, "Are you sure? Can you really find the traitor?"

Fang Ze smiled, then said,

"Although I can't be 100% certain, I'm pretty close to it."

"But I need to confirm one thing first."

"Without the cooperation of other commissioners from the Security Bureau, are you sure you can capture or suppress the traitor once we find them?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling looked at each other again and saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes.

Bai Zhi said decisively, "Of course."

She paused for a moment, adding with confidence, "Taking those commissioners with us is actually just to train them. In a real fight, they'd only hold us back."

"If I can't capture that traitor, then their going after them would be even less effective."

Bai Ling added, "Fang Ze, you might think Bai is always using her brains. But actually, this is her first time solving a case."

"Her position at the Security Bureau was earned through fighting."

Fang Ze nodded, understanding....

.....

Half an hour later, Fang Ze had detailed the first step of the plan to the two of them, then had them recite it back to him in detail.

After confirming there were no issues, Fang Ze paused the communication, instructing them to proceed with the plan, and to contact him once they had completed the first step.

Looking at the inactive Windbreeze Flower, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling faced each other.

Now that Fang Ze wasn't present, their conversation could be more straightforward.

Bai Zhi frowned, then asked Bai Ling for her opinion, "Bai, what do you think... is the plan feasible? Can we... trust him?"

Bai Ling looked at Bai Zhi, then naively said, "Bai, I'm not sure if the plan is feasible. But I know he should be trustworthy."

Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Why?"

Bai Ling replied, "Because... he's the first person to return my money."

"Even including you... you still haven't paid me back for the fruit tea you asked me to buy half a month ago."

Bai Zhi: .......

"Bai, do you believe it? It seems like you have an Awakening talent that makes people forget to pay you back...."

Bai Ling: ??

........

Late at night.

Special Case Team. Temporary residence.

Cui Xuemin had been standing by the window for a long time; his face marked with astonishment, disbelief, and confusion.

"The ranger is dead too?"

"How is that possible?"

"His strength isn't weak, and his ability to protect himself is so strong. Even if he was a bit careless, he shouldn't have been killed, right?"

"What kind of terrifying ability did that periphery member Awaken?"

The plan going out of control had left him a bit panicked for the moment.

And combining that with the increasingly strict control of the Special Case Team's outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense state over the past few days, his ominous premonition grew stronger.

"This won't do... we can't keep going like this. It looks like I need to get reinforcements here sooner...."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, his room door was knocked on "bang, bang, bang."

Startled, he steadied himself and asked in a voice as if he had just been woken up, "Who is it?"

A voice from an Investigator came through the door, "Investigator Cui, the commissioner from the Security Bureau requests your presence."

Hearing the Investigator's words, Cui Xuemin hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but glance at the clock in his dormitory.

It was already 1 am.

A summons at this time?

It feels like there might be something wrong....

With that thought, he asked, "What's the matter?"

The Investigator said, "I'm not sure. Everyone has just been asked to come out all of a sudden."

Hearing the word "everyone."

Cui Xuemin's heart slightly relaxed.

If it wasn't just him being summoned, then it probably wasn't the worst possibility.

With that in mind, he said, "Alright. I'll come out now."
