Master of Strange Dao

But if the force behind them is destroyed, the death row inmate naturally loses their utility and will be eliminated.

Therefore, I speculate that one of the Faceless Men killed is the person from the An Family back then.

Of course, I'm just speculating, purely guessing, with no evidence to speak of."

Yu Ziqing emphasized this point.

Song Chengyue was quite speechless, wondering what there is to speculate about.

Do they really think the Jinyi Wei solve all cases based on evidence?

That would exhaust them completely and they wouldn't be able to catch many people.

Unless they catch them red-handed, otherwise they might as well not investigate cases at all.

At this point, Song Chengyue also understood that it was almost certain, evidence or not.

"Is there a list of forces destroyed within the past ten years?"

"Yes, four in the East Sea, one in Dali, one in Dazhen, one in Daqian, these all had some power.

Either they were financially strong or had solid foundations, and some used to have Ninth Tier presence.

Weaker ones, there are too many of those. Small sects, small factions, small families, every year there are quite a few, but these likely have nothing to do with the matter you want.

These few have all had disciples commit mistakes and were publicly executed."

In the long run, actually, most sects and families across this world have produced such individuals at some point."

Song Chengyue waved his hand and listed a roster.

Yu Ziqing noted down the list, pondered for a bit, and decided to cause some trouble for those White Water Eggs.

"In recent years, those White Water Eggs must have suffered considerable losses.

Especially those who can go out and handle matters independently, according to my knowledge, several have died already.

I'm guessing, just speculating, they might need to replenish personnel."

"I understand." Song nodded.

Leaving the Seventh Floor ring, just heard that everyone was dead, Song Chengyue seemed indifferent.

He reached out a hand, patting the table.

After opening the drawer, he took out a pile of records and began to check them thoroughly.

A face appeared on the table, the table monster glanced sideways at Song Chengyue.

"I say, how many years have passed, still coming back every now and then to look at this stuff.

Did you encounter something bothersome again, and want to look at something happy for relief?

Or is this the only thing you've got to be proud of?

Isn't it embarrassing?"

"No, this time there's a serious matter." Song Chengyue's face was calm and showed no sign of happiness at all.

Yu Ziqing was right to think, as long as Song remembered, that his proud masterpiece from back then, his years of stress-relieving work.

Actually, he was played by someone; he truly couldn't be happy about it.

He must get to the bottom of it.

He went through all the case officers involved back then, checking each one meticulously.

The person back then who held the Magical Treasure and verified the Divine Soul died a violent death.

Whereas the person who verified the true identity is still alive, still working in the Jinyi Wei.

Moreover, he is not an officer who goes on field duty, the danger is not that high, living quite well.

Promotion and everything else pose no issues.

All records don't reveal any problems.

Just the most ordinary Jinyi Wei, afraid of major greed, keeps away from serious crimes, only indulges in small greed superficially.

At most, the Magical Treasure he uses becomes discarded faster than usual.

But this is all normal operation, that little money, he as a Commander doesn't care about it at all, treats it as issuing subsidies.

He occasionally picks up a couple of Magical Treasures for amusement when there is nothing.

For instance, the Soul Destruction Blade lent to Yu Ziqing last time was reported as damaged eight hundred years ago, never intended to retrieve, can't afford the humiliation.

Song Chengyue once again pulled out the file of that Jinyi Wei who verified the Divine Soul.

Following the case back then, continued the investigation.

Actually, it was already impossible to investigate.

At that time, out of kindness, he was lenient towards the Jinyi Wei who died in the line of duty, thought it unnecessary at such a time to dig out people's faults.

So, at that time, the matter was sealed, not continued, can't check it now.

In retrospect today, the matter that used to be clear has changed nature.

Song Chengyue sighed quietly.

Those people really understand him enough, knowing what he would do, not at all afraid of him figuring anything out.

Because, to take care of the deceased brothers in the government office, not implicating their wives and children, if it was just greed, he definitely won't pursue further investigation or let others investigate.

After all, if said out loud, it turns into Song Chengyue being inhumane, just when they sacrificed themselves, you go seize their family's property.

This matter is not doable.

He continued to examine other Jinyi Wei who died in the line of duty cases.

Those who had done the soul verification step and then died in the line of duty Jinyi Wei.

Looking back several hundred years, not too many.

Those doing this job are mostly not those on field duty, the risk is not that high, but the reward is naturally not that high either.

Hence this number is even smaller.

Searching through, found three more.

When he checked the dossier, Song Chengyue couldn't help but laugh angrily.

All three dossiers had no problems, and their deaths had no suspicious circumstances.

But all three, after death, their investigations revealed they were a bit too greedy.

According to the rules, the more they embezzle, the more illicit money needs to be recovered, the treasures and resources embezzled, all need to be retrieved.

Their family members must also be implicated.

One of them only had two children left in the family, both sent to the Sect.

To support the two children's cultivation and all sorts of social relations, the cost is substantial.

Another one, the entire family depended on him alone, the pillar fell, and the entire family was in danger.

The last one left a widow with five children, plus two little ones who were not old enough to walk.

Encountering such a situation, what could Song Chengyue do, he couldn't possibly maintain ironclad justice, handling official business.
