ou…you actually dared to hit me!” After a while, Huang Yanli came to her senses and screamed.“You scoundrel, how dare you hit Miss Huang I think you really...” The Wang supervisor shouted out at the s..."Prominent figures from the capital's aristocratic families, radical elements," the judge continued.

His purpose in coming was to investigate the case, so most of his energy was focused on finding the black public official. But at that time, the black public official had long since disappeared, hiding his true identity.

"Then we shouldn't brand Hei Gong as an S-level fugitive just like that, should we" Lu Yue frowned once more.

“The capital city had given him a deadline, so after half a year of making it look like he was properly investigating, he submitted a so-called closing statement to the capital city.” The judge continued with a slightly disdainful expression.

"The conclusion of the text is: after investigation, this case was found to be a conspiracy by corrupt officials and outsiders to frame the leader of the Shadow Gate and four other skilled swordsmen. The perpetrators fled after achieving their goal out of fear of punishment!"

From then on, Hei Gong not only made it onto the Yingmen's S-level wanted list but also became a key target of the Special Patrol Division's attention!

"Is that okay" Lu Yue was speechless.

"The truth of the matter is known only to the Black Official, no one else!" The Judge continued.

"He wrote it that way at the time, and it was difficult for others to find evidence to prove him wrong. After all, only Hei Gong was left alive, and he had disappeared without a trace."

"Alright!" Lu Yue was speechless again.

After finishing his closing statement, that man returned to the capital city. It is said that upon his return, he was promoted two ranks!

"As expected!" Lu Yue shrugged.

This is a common tactic used by established families, using special circumstances to secure positions and resources for their younger generations. It's quite normal!

"Thus, a preliminary conclusion has been reached for this case." The judge continued.

And from then on, the competition for the next head of Shadow Gate entered a heated stage!

It is said that back then, several prominent families in the capital city jointly nominated a few individuals to serve as the head of Yingmen and the five sharp blades.

However, in the process of the game, he lost a bit because several elders strongly recommended that the eldest brother should be the head of the Shadow Gate.

Of course, although the aristocratic families lost this round, to balance their mindset, the top officials made many concessions in other areas, such as the Special Patrol Division and the Imperial Court. This can be considered a satisfactory explanation for them.

"These families are truly ruthless in their pursuit of their goals!" Hearing this, Lu Yue naturally understood the gist of it.

"Human desires are insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant. There will be retribution one day!" The judge took a deep breath and continued.

After my elder brother was appointed as the Master of the Shadow Gate, I and four others, including Canglang, entered the Shadow Gate under his arrangement.

"The Lord Mayor simultaneously gave his elder brother a mission, with a deadline of two years to capture the Black Official and bring him to justice!"

"Although Shadow Gate hasn't found the Black Official these years, they should have investigated some information, right" Lu Yue nodded slightly and asked.

"Better than nothing!" Judge shook his head in response. "The other party was clearly prepared. Apart from this black public, all the clues were cut off."

"Does that black man have any suspicion at all" Lu Yue continued, "Why is he the only one who survived"

"Although we don't know why, we can be certain that this has nothing to do with him, he is just a victim." the judge responded.

"Then why didn't he stand up and bring the truth to light" Lu Yue frowned slightly.

"Who knows!" The judge shrugged again. "Maybe it's because the other party is too powerful, he's worried that if he shows up, he'll be silenced before he can even speak!"

"Alright, stop all this guessing and confusion. Just find the person and ask them." At this moment, Ling Hao spoke in a thoughtful tone.

After finishing his statement, he looked at the judge and continued to ask, "Where is the person now"

"Four hours by car from Dongzhou, at the foot of a mountain, it is said that he has been holed up in that small village for two or three years now," The Judge responded.

"He's really good at hiding!" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"By the way, Big Brother, I haven't had a chance to report to you about what happened at Moge last time." The Judge seemed to have suddenly remembered this matter.

"Besides those few outward windows, did you manage to glean any other useful information" Ling Hao nodded slightly before asking.

Mo Ge is extremely mysterious to outsiders, and even Yingmen has very limited information. Since they managed to catch Madam Peony, a fish, naturally they want to find a way to extract some information from her.

"There's very little useful information here!" The judge shook his head.

"The Mògé has a well-structured system for managing its members, drawing inspiration from the ancient management model of civil and military officials. Members operate under both a civilian and a military line of management."

"So-called civil officers are in charge of intelligence gathering and external business dealings, while military officers are professional assassins."

Of course, civilian officials don't mean they are not martial artists. They are just slightly inferior in skill compared to military officers.

"There is a strict hierarchical management system among the members within the [institution/group]. Interactions between members at the same level are rare."

Different levels have different access to information, and even at the same level, those belonging to different categories within a group will have vastly different understandings.

"Madam Peony belongs to the Wenxian sequence. Her position in Moge is not very high, she is only responsible for managing the external windows in the east area."

"As for those working outside windows, they were all unofficial members of the Moge. Their knowledge was even more limited."

"As expected of a killer organization with centuries of tradition!" Lu Yue said with a hint of admiration after hearing the judge's words.

"Have you found out information about her superiors" Ling Hao nodded slightly and then spoke.

"Got it." The judge nodded. "But that's just a code name, belonging to a woman named Qingzhu."

Regarding information about the other party, Mrs. Peony knew very little. All she had was contact from the other party, and she didn't have any way to contact them herself.

"Do they usually contact each other through mobile phones" Lu Yue asked.

"Mo Ge, like our Ying Men, connects its members through their unique terminal devices. Outsiders find it very difficult to locate them," the Judge shook his head in response.

"Interesting," Ling Hao's eyes narrowed once more.

"Let's not worry about them for now; they should come to us. Tell the guys down below to keep an eye out over the next little while."

Yingmen opened so many windows to the outside world in Moge this time, the other party definitely won't let it go. They will come looking sooner or later!

"Received!" the judge nodded in response.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, three people arrived at their destination.

This is a farmers' market located at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by several villages. It is about 10 to 20 kilometers away from the nearest city.

After getting off the car, they looked around. The market was not too big or small. Perhaps because it had passed the peak shopping hours, there weren't many people in the market.

According to Yan He's confession, the wanted criminal is now using the alias Li Kai and buying pork at the agricultural market.

"Are you really going to drive me to my last resort"

Just as the three of them were walking towards the meat section, a woman's voice with a hint of crying rang out. know..." the man continued, struggling to speak."Damn it!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice, sweeping out with a punch, the man's body exploded."Go to the East Star battle zone at once!" Before the wor...
