Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 515 - 115. Black Hand, Black Foot, Black Buddha Head! (Asking for monthly passes of 10,000 words!)_6

As she settled into her seat, Fang Ze, who was sitting at the head of the table, glanced around at all the department heads in the meeting room and finally rested his gaze on Xun Yi. He nodded and said, "Let's begin."

With Fang Ze's approval, Xun Yi also stood up and began to preside over the brief meeting.

There were mainly two purposes for this meeting.

One was to introduce Fang Ze to the department heads, and the other was to listen to reports from each department.

Since Fang Ze had previously obtained some intelligence about the various departments from Bai Zhi, he could almost match each standing person with the information he had in mind.

For instance: this one is from the Commoner Faction, a diehard supporter of Gu Qing. This one is from the Neutral Faction and can be won over. This one has been cultivated by the Bai Family and can be borrowed.

The preparations he had made in advance allowed this meeting to be twice as effective with half the effort.

Soon enough, everyone had stood and introduced themselves to Fang Ze, and the meeting moved on to the second item on the agenda: listening to department reports.

Fang Ze listened even more attentively this time.

After all, those departments were ultimately under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau. If problems arose, he would be held accountable.

If someone was purposefully setting traps for him to fall into without his realizing, it could lead to serious trouble.

Therefore, he listened particularly carefully to the departments controlled by the Commoner Faction.

Soon, the two main objectives of the meeting were accomplished, and the meeting was drawing to a close.

The smoothness of the entire meeting surprised Fang Ze somewhat: he had always thought that during this first meeting, the Commoner Faction, which controlled eight of the twelve departments through people like Gu Qing and Xun Yi, would definitely make trouble and not let him get through so smoothly.

At the very least... they would make a show of force to blunt his edge.

But..., there was none.

Could it be... he had misjudged others with his own petty suspicions?

Did Xun Yi deliberately remind him of the meeting this morning, genuinely for his own good?

Just as Fang Ze was contemplating this, sure enough, the trouble finally came...

After the main proceedings of the meeting were over, Xun Yi was packing up the documents when she casually asked, "Does any department head have anything else to say?"

Typically, if there was no response to this question, the meeting would end.

It was at this moment that a Deputy Section Chief from the Judicial Department suddenly raised his hand.

The instant he raised his hand, everyone in the meeting room involuntarily turned to look at him.

All kinds of expressions were present.

Some were expectant, having anticipated this and therefore watching the spectacle; some were surprised; some looked as if things were going exactly as they had predicted...

Yet, the Deputy Section Chief seemed indifferent. He looked towards Fang Ze, then said with a smile, "Director, here's the thing."

"Actually, our Judicial Department—oh, no, I should say the Security Bureau—has had an unsolved case for many years."

"The case occurred during the tenure of the former director, but remained unsolved even until his retirement."

"Before he retired, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He urged us to solve it."

"Later, when Director Gu joined our Bureau, he also reviewed the case and although he made significant progress, the murderer was still not brought to justice."

"Furthermore, that murderer has been blatantly committing crimes right under our noses."

"Now that you are the director, everyone knows that you are a master at solving cases. I wonder if you could help our Judicial Department resolve this case that's a stain on the Security Bureau and that the former director couldn't forget."

Before Fang Ze could respond, Zhuang Bo, a diehard support of Gu Qing from the Personnel Department, scolded, "Director Chen, the director has just taken office and has many tasks to attend to! How can he have time to solve cases for your Judicial Department!"

"And moreover, the director is now in charge of the entire Security Bureau; he shouldn't be responsible for such specific operational matters."

"It's just an unsolved case. If it remains unsolved, so be it."

Hearing Zhuang Bo's words, Director Chen from the Judicial Department gave an embarrassed smile and then said, "I'm just anxious, you know."

"So many people couldn't solve this case; if we delay any longer, it might never be solved."

"By then, it wouldn't reflect well on the director either, would it?"

"Besides, a new director's tenure should mark a new beginning. Solving a case that nobody else could solve - wouldn't that be a fresh approach?"

Fang Ze watched the two go back and forth with interest, as if he was watching clowns perform.

After a moment, having seen enough of the farce, he smiled nonchalantly and then slowly said, "Enough. Stop arguing."

"Did you bring the case file? Let me have a look first."

Seeing that Fang Ze had "taken the bait," Director Chen and Zhuang Bo immediately stopped their double act, and Director Chen hastily took out the case file from the document bag he had brought with him.

Little You, seeing this, quickly stood up, took the case file, walked over to Fang Ze, and handed it to him with both hands.

At that moment, when Fang Ze received the file and before even opening it, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Under the "watch" of his "Black Panther" ability,

The case file, just like the two files from before, was shrouded in a thick black aura, yet it contained hints of auspiciousness.

It gave the impression of being fraught with danger, but with the promise of a rich harvest once the case was solved!

Fang Ze was somewhat surprised.

Another file like this?

A daring idea formed in his mind: Could it be that these three cases actually all stemmed from the same source?

With that thought, Fang Ze slowly opened the case file.

He did not focus on the text but started flipping through the evidence photos.

He flipped and flipped until, after over a dozen pages, he suddenly stopped.

Because on that page was a photo of a person.

The man had a shiny bald head, triangular eyes, a fierce gaze, and a wild expression, giving off an extremely violent aura.

But that was not the point. The point was... on his back, there was a flat black Buddha head tattooed.

A single-eyed Buddha head...

That eye, similar in shape to the ones from the previous two cases, gave off almost the exact same chilling feeling...
