Chapter 348 Law Enforcement and Supervision
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoming just smiled and didn't say anything.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me now. I don't have much time to waste with you."
Yang Jian paused, then returned to his previous cold and indifferent look.
"Two things, let me make it short."
"The head of Dajing City, Gao Ming, was killed. The murderer was very ruthless. Even the ghost in his body was taken away, leaving only a broken corpse. Wei Jing has started to investigate this matter, but has found almost no clues."
Although Wang Xiaoming was weak, his thoughts and words were still orderly.
"Gao Ming was killed? Unbelievable. This is Dajing City, right under the nose of the headquarters. You told me that someone killed a city leader here without anyone noticing, and even the captain Wei Jing couldn't find any clues."
"Why, has the current headquarters become so weak?"
Yang Jian was a little surprised, and at the same time his eyes fell on a statue in the hall. The statue was not very detailed, and only the outline of a human figure could be seen, without facial features or texture details. It looked smooth, like an abstract art style.
However, even such a strange statue cannot be seen through or penetrated by the ghost eyes.
Apparently, it is a statue cast in gold, and a person appears to be confined within the statue.
"Mr. Qin?"
Yang Jian quickly realized that the headquarters would not go to such great lengths to create a useless statue. The statue was placed in the lobby without any cover or concealment, indicating that the headquarters did not intend to conceal this information.
A public statue that undoubtedly holds a ghost rider inside, and is heavy enough to shock anyone who knows of its existence.
"Cao Yang is still alive and in surprisingly good condition; Li Jun is in Zhongzhou City to deal with the aftermath, and Wei Jing is by Wang Xiaoming's side. From this point of view, the person in the statue can only be the old man called Qin Lao."
Seeing Yang Jian's look, Wang Xiaoming continued.
"As you can imagine, the person sealed in the statue is Old Qin. He took the initiative to ask for this, because he was worried that his evil spirit would revive after he died of old age. However, he had to use his last bit of energy to try to intimidate some restless people."
"Let's talk about the second thing. The headquarters has lost the trump card of Qin Lao, and will have less and less say in the future. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the reason why you came to me."
As he spoke, Yang Jian's face instantly darkened, and it was obvious that he had just reacted.
"You want me to take over Mr. Qin's position and become the new trump card of the headquarters?"
"You are still as smart as before, so I say that you are born to be a supernatural person."
Wang Xiaoming did not deny it, but admitted it generously.
"The second thing is very simple. I don't think I will live long in this condition. Before I die, I want to hold another captain's meeting in the name of the headquarters. But as you know, since the implementation of the Captain's Plan, the headquarters has gradually declined."
"Before you came, I also asked the operators to contact the captains in charge and asked for a meeting."
"Although the result was within my expectations, I still wanted to do something before I died."
"Li Leping from Dachuan City, Liu San from DQ City, Wang Chaling from Dadong City, He Yiner from Dayuan City, and Shen Lin from Daxia City all refused to attend the meeting for various reasons." "Captain Twelve, except for Jiang Shangbai who you defeated, and these five, if you still refuse, then the headquarters will truly become an isolated island from this moment on, and there is no need for it to exist at all."
Wang Xiaoming looked a little gloomy. Although Cao Yang was still in the headquarters, in this era of the supernatural, it was impossible to rely on Cao Yang alone. If people's hearts were not united and were like a pile of loose sand, that was what he didn't want to see.
"From the day the Captain's Plan was proposed, the headquarters had already predicted today's situation, but the plan had to be implemented. The era of the supernatural must be controlled by the Ghost Riders. Even the Captain needs a strong enough Captain to check and restrain them."
"In the past, there was Old Qin, who was the mainstay of the headquarters, but he was too old and could die at any time, so he had to be sealed away as a Schrodinger's trump card in desperate situations."
"The headquarters now needs a captain with enough weight to take charge. You don't need to do much, just convince them to hold this meeting. I call this position 'Captain of Law Enforcement', which means the captain in charge of killing and execution."
Yang Jian was unmoved, and even turned his head away, not wanting to listen to Wang Xiaoming's explanation.
"You want me to offend other captains. To put it more seriously, you want me to die. If the headquarters could call the captains in with just their mouths, they would have done it a long time ago. But it is obvious that talking alone will not work. It is very likely that they will have to take action and threaten with force."
"It's fine to threaten one captain, but you want me to make enemies with five captains. Do you think I won't die fast enough?"
Yang Jian frowned and refused sternly.
"Don't be so hasty to refuse. The fact that I can find you to take the position of law enforcement captain at least proves that you have enough weight and strength to make these people feel afraid of you. This is your greatest asset."
"Let's talk about the headquarters' sincerity. The law enforcement captain is independent of the twelve captains. If you are willing to take on the position, you can promote a trustworthy person to fill the vacancy of your position. The headquarters will support you unconditionally and will help you support this person against all odds."
"In addition, from the moment you agree to serve as the law enforcement captain, you will have the highest priority to call upon all the resources currently controlled by the headquarters. No matter if it is a ghost, supernatural item, or a manufactured supernatural prop, there will be no limit on the quantity or level."
"At your current level, you should understand what resources mean to a ghost rider. It's the chance to survive and the possibility of further advancement. With the resources of the headquarters, you won't have to spend much time to produce one or more captain-level ghost riders."
"Finally, you also have the right to promote and select the captain position that was vacated after Jiang Shangbai's death, but this requires the consent of another supervisory captain."
"Captain of the Inspection Team?"
Yang Jian keenly captured the key words.
"The supervisory captain is appointed by the headquarters. In principle, he is on the same level as the law enforcement captain, but he does not have as much power as you. He is usually only responsible for monitoring the domestic situation, including the person in charge, the captain, and supernatural events, and reporting them in a timely manner."
"There's no need to hide this information from you. Cao Yang is the captain of the inspection team. He is the vanguard walking on the intelligence line. If a captain or person in charge is corrupted, makes a mistake, or even betrays you, he will take some measures before you."
Wang Xiaoming remained calm. He had already prepared his response for Yang Jian's possible reaction.
"You will definitely be the captain of the law enforcement team. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. With the resources of the headquarters, even if you are the captain, you will be able to grow quickly and leave other captains far behind."
"Time is running out for the headquarters and the country. According to the information sent by Captain Zhang Xuan who is active abroad, a group of top ghost riders abroad have united to form a force called the 'King's Organization'."
"Even in some countries without organized forces, they have elected absolutely powerful people to maintain stability."
"So, we also need someone who can mobilize everyone at critical moments and unite everyone when necessary."
