With a "beep" sound, the caller rang, and assistant Xiao Ping reported from the other end of the phone: "Director Fei, Director You and Director Guo have arrived. Do you think you are asking them to your office or to the conference room? They brought a few assistants and are coming here."

"Conference room." Philona was interrupted. She patted the report, then got up and walked towards the conference room. She picked up a call headset. Philona said as she walked: "Qu Fang, Zhang Yibing, Liu Xing, please go to the conference room. Director You and Director Guo are about to arrive."

One of the three people in the headset answered yes, the other answered "I know", the third answered "I'll come", and there was no sound inside the headset.

After a while, the conference room was full of fifteen people. The conference room was not big, but according to the requirements of the Ministry of Law, it was equipped with the same equipment as the large conference room. On the table in front of each seat, there was an integrated computer embedded in the desktop, which could be written or painted on it. As a result, it would be synchronized to the large screen for everyone to watch together. The sound and video equipment were all-round, and the voice and images of the spokesperson would be played to everyone without blind spots. There were no people attending the conference remotely, and the video equipment was turned off.

"Director Philip, do you think I will first inform us of the investigation results? Let everyone have a comprehensive basic understanding of this joint operation?" You Long asked.

"Okay, you can start." Philona pointed to the projection, and assistant Xiao Ping immediately opened the projection. Youlong opened the computer panel on the desktop, called out the information, and began to introduce the basic situation of the case. A photo of a middle-aged officer was shown on the projection. He was doing a meeting report, with a firm look and seemed to be a character who was not easy to mess with.

"Duan Yiqing, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Third Army, everyone should know this situation. I have nothing to say here. The Deputy Chief of Staff made a decision at the beginning of the year. In the eastern area of ​​the Inner Mongolia Plateau where he defended, the defense line was extended forward by 86 kilometers, which was from here to here." Youlong switched the projection to the map and pointed out two points on the map. "If you only look at the map, these two points can't see anything on the map. No matter how you look at it, they are just a mountain area. But if we go to the scene, we will find that from the original defensive base, that is, thirty kilometers eastward, it is a mine."

Youlong opened a photo and found a hill that looked nothing special. Then clicked the next photo. There was a hole dug at the foot of the mountain. There were a few stones that looked like ore at the entrance of the hole. The next photo was a crystal inlaid stones of large and small size on the stone. These crystals looked nothing special. Youlong clicked the screen, but the next picture was a red crystal.

"This crystal is called spinel, and it is one of the more expensive gem varieties. The granite pegmatite grown in this gem is on this mountain, which means that this is a gem mine! The discovery of this mine is not the most important, because independent resistance organizations in various places will find some strange things more or less during the battle. Duan Yiqing came into our sight because after he adjusted the defense line, we found that three thousand soldiers under his command suddenly disappeared from the normal defense sequence. Normally, the mobilization of the two regiments will not attract more attention from anyone in the military headquarters, but because the Third Army had to mobilize forces to carry out some army-level operations a few days ago, that is, take the initiative to attack and find the enemy's weaknesses. This mobilization revealed that these three thousand people were missing."

"The army found that the team had such a big mistake, and was afraid of causing misunderstandings and causing headquarter shocks, so they entrust me to investigate. If they didn't check, they did find some problems. The three thousand people did not disappear, but some entered the mining area and became miners, while the other part flowed into the black market. While processing and mining gems, they sold them in the black market and made huge profits. Some became full-time bodyguards to protect all links of the entire industrial chain, including at the news level."

Guo Xinman said strangely: "Wow! It's amazing, I've turned the army into a gem merchant! Strangely, for such a big thing, is it that the Third Army is deaf and mute? There is no sound at all?"

Philona sighed and said, "Who can let outsiders interfere in the matter of making money? The mercenary group uses the remains of mechanical beasts as resources, and is rich enough to rival the country. Which team is not itchy? They must have been connected with the upper and lower levels. Look, there is even division of labor, mining, processing, and sales, and no one else can get in! The army has become a completely private enterprise... If this continues, the dungeon base will be over sooner or later, which army still has the heart to fight?"

Guo Xinman was a little surprised and smiled, "Hi? Director Fei, why are you a little discouraged? You even said such words sooner or later? You were not like this before!"

Philona breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was recently investigating a case. Someone used a normal person's heart to make a mechanical device, which made me feel a little heartbroken, so I just sighed." It doesn't matter to the personnel within the Ministry of Law to reveal the details of some cases. This is a manifestation of trust between everyone, a way of restraining each other, and a symbol of mutual cooperation. Maybe one day, who will be seconded to the relevant case team to participate in the investigation of a case. At this time, he said that he knows a certain detail, you say you know what the latest situation, and you can enter the state immediately after communicating with each other.

"There is such a thing?" Guo Xinman said in surprise. Philona's words made everyone take a breath of air. This is a very terrible concept. If this can be done, then what else wouldn't happen in the dungeon killing and setting fire?

"Has human hearts fallen to this point? Even human life is just a matter of casualties?" You Long frowned and sighed.

"Yeah? I just sighed, why did you follow me? Let's not talk about this for now, let's go back to this case, You Long, we interrupted your report, you continue." Guo Xinman smiled with a bitter face in understanding, You Long lit the computer screen on the desktop and continued: "This is the basic situation. The part of our investigation and evaluation, it is just the tip of the iceberg in this case. With such a big mistake, the General Staff of the Third Army, the military-level leader was unaware of it. On the one hand, Duan Yiqing blocked his own defense zone, and another reason... It is very likely that at least one leader at the military level has acquiesced to the occurrence of this situation."

"So, the military-level leaders are also involved?" Philona asked.

"Yes." You Long replied. "We are not inconvenient to intervene in the military-level leaders, because that is the level that the Ministry of Law Discipline Committee can handle. Although the three of us are also members of the Ministry of Law Discipline Committee, we are only at the bottom. If we want to investigate the military-level leaders, we must pass at least two-thirds of the Discipline Committee."

Philona suddenly laughed and said, "Hey, who asked you to investigate from top to bottom? This matter cannot be considered from top to bottom, but to follow the clues from bottom to top! Even if you have evidence, which one of the top leaders of the military is a vegetarian? Those are old foxes, and they may turn over to say it if there is evidence, let alone you have no evidence now? Therefore, the most important action of this matter at present should be investigation and evidence collection!"

"Yes! I agree." Guo Xinman agreed.

Youlong seemed to have been waiting for Philona's words for a long time, turned his head and asked, "Then where should we start now? Where can we start looking for evidence and catch their weaknesses?"

Philona hesitated a little, thought for a while, and replied: "Black market!"

"When it's time?" Youlong asked again.

"Three days later."
Chapter completed!
