574: Section 574

Hearing this, Old Beggar nodded quickly.

He led Lin Yi toward an office not far away.

Once they entered, it was clearly like a small conference room.

Old Beggar pressed a button.

Soon, a screen was seen slowly rising from the middle of the conference table.

After Old Beggar turned it on, it clearly displayed a map of the entire Xinghai City.

"Chief Commander, ever since we received the order,

we have been searching the entire Xinghai City for the locations of the Blood Handprint breeding farms and feeding grounds!"

"There is one breeding farm, right inside this factory!"

"This is an abandoned factory, but it was acquired by someone three years ago!"

"The strange thing is, after the factory was acquired, it wasn't rebuilt or put into production; it remained abandoned, that is, until about half a year ago!"

"That's when it slowly started to change, mainly focusing on furniture production!"

"Later, our people went to investigate and discovered the trickery behind it!"

"This is the Blood Handprint breeding farm in Xinghai City!"

"Above the factory is a furniture factory, but they also have two underground levels where all those Yao Beasts are being raised!"

"Every night, they release some Yao Beasts to go into the city and wreak havoc!"

"Before dawn, those Yao Beasts will return to the factory on their own!"

"Besides that, there are three feeding grounds, located here, here, and here..."

As Old Beggar pointed out the locations of the three feeding grounds on it,

Lin Yi discovered that one of the feeding grounds was actually near the high school he once attended.

The other two feeding grounds were also not far from other high schools.

Lin Yi frowned and said: "It seems that for their own convenience, these people deliberately built the feeding grounds near schools so they could easily snatch people inside!"

Old Beggar nodded: "Exactly, that's right. We even investigated and found that some people at the schools are colluding with them!"

"Helping them transport students to the feeding grounds..."

Hearing Old Beggar say this, a cold glint flashed across Lin Yi's eyes.

"These animals... Haven't the students' parents reported this to the police?" Lin Yi turned and asked.

Old Beggar nodded: "Chief Commander, you came out of the Old District!"

"The Martial Arts Police Station here simply doesn't handle things. When parents go to report a case, no one will accept it.

There's no difference between reporting it and not reporting it!"

"They just dismiss people with a few simple words, telling them to go home and wait for news!"

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many missing persons notices on the streets outside..."

Lin Yi nodded; the Public Security Bureau in the Old District was indeed like this.

They wouldn't take risks or put their own lives on the line for anyone.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be unable to see a single person from the Public Security Bureau at night.

Even if someone went to the Public Security Bureau to report a crime, they would just perfunctorily deal with it.

Even if a few students went missing, they wouldn't take it seriously at all.

Lin Yi looked at Old Beggar: "Senior, who is the Public Security Bureau under?"

"This..."

Old Beggar looked up at Lin Yi.

"If it were in the New District, the Public Security Bureau would be under the Martial Suppression Bureau, belonging to its subordinate departments!"

"But in the Old District, the Public Security Bureau is an independent department!"

"It is not responsible to the Martial Suppression Bureau, nor is it managed by the Monster Hunting Bureau!"

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be so unrestrained!"

After Old Beggar finished speaking,

Lin Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

He discussed the matter of those Blood Handprint strongholds with Old Beggar again.

And just at this moment, Lin Yi's phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it; it was clearly Wei Shang calling.

"Hello? Old Wei, have you arrived?"

"Arrived, just entered Xinghai City!"

"Follow the original plan and find a place to settle down first.

I'll arrange for someone to pick you up later!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Old Beggar quickly asked: "Is it the people from the Martial Suppression Bureau?"

"They're here, just entered Xinghai City. Senior, find someone to bring them over!"

"Alright, leave this matter to me!"

After speaking, Old Beggar left the office.

In a short while, he walked back in.

He had just arranged for someone to go find Wei Shang, Wei Nan, and Feng Lei.

Lin Yi nodded, not taking it too much to heart.

His gaze fell on those feeding grounds and breeding farms.

For a long time, he discussed it with Old Beggar again.

The feedback received was that Bard was not in Xinghai City.

Although he was the Blood Envoy responsible for breeding in the Old District,

his whereabouts were elusive.

He might be in one city today, and perhaps in another city tomorrow.

It was not so easy to capture Bard's whereabouts.

"A foreigner should be quite conspicuous, right?"

Lin Yi looked at Old Beggar and asked with a smile.

Old Beggar nodded: "Yes, very few foreigners come to the Old District. I will arrange for people to search the entire Old District for traces of Bard!"

Lin Yi looked at him with a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!"

Not long after, about half an hour or so,

Wei Shang, Wei Nan, Feng Lei, and Captain Shan Kui all arrived at this underground intelligence center.

After Lin Yi met with them, he brought them into the office.

He assigned them some tasks.

"This time when we return to the Old District, our main task is to clear out the Blood Handprint forces in the Old District!"

"However, I think before clearing out those breeding farms and feeding grounds, we should first take out the Blood Handprint members lurking here, as well as those associated with the Blood Handprint!"

"The Public Security Bureau, schools, and even people from various Systems!"

"Anyone associated with the Blood Handprint, leave none behind!"

When Lin Yi finished speaking, Wei Shang, Feng Lei, and Captain Shan Kui looked at each other.

"Chief Commander, this matter might..."

"I will naturally make a call to Elder He and ask for his instructions!"

Before Wei Shang could finish, Lin Yi understood what he meant.

And he said it first.

Wei Shang nodded: "Alright, if we can get Elder He's support, then there will be no problem!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, took out his phone, and walked out of the office.

He found a quiet place and made a call.

Soon, the call was connected.

Elder He's voice came through: "Lin Yi, you've arrived in the Old District, right?"

"Yes, Elder He, we have all arrived safely. There is a problem I would like to ask for your instructions on..."

"You don't need to ask for my instructions. You are the Chief Commander of the Martial Suppression Bureau, and you represent our Martial Suppression Bureau!"

"When the Martial Suppression Bureau enforces the law, why would you need to explain to anyone?"

"If anyone dares to resist law enforcement, just handle it yourself!"

"If any problems arise, I will take responsibility for you!"

After receiving Elder He's permission,

Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

He nodded and said: "Elder He, I understand!"

"Hmm, whatever it is, just do it boldly and confidently, don't be timid!"

"Understood!"

After chatting for a few more sentences, he hung up the phone.
