Chapter 431: Chapter 406: Talent of a General (Subscription Request) Chapter 431: Chapter 406: Talent of a General (Subscription Request) An hour later, You Ming walked into the Adelade Family headquarter mansion where police lights flashed and the air was thick with the smell of blood.
The mansion, palace-like and spanning 17,000 square meters, was littered with bodies and walls splattered with fresh blood.
Those who were fortunate enough to have survived, the male and female servants, were huddled in corners, knees drawn to their chests, still in shock.
They had all passed out before the massacre began and awakened afterward, nearly breaking down at the horrific scene before them.
By then, You Ming had begun to doubt the capabilities of his subordinates, so he picked up his previous criminal investigation skills and personally examined the scene.
Moments later, You Ming deeply furrowed his brows.
The Children’s Song Killer had struck again in the same manner as before, with most of the combatants under the influence of an anesthetic before the fight even started.
...
At least a third had passed out on the spot, and the rest had significantly weakened combat abilities due to the anesthetic, rendering them powerless against the assassin group of the Children’s Song Killer.

The problem was that this massacre occurred after the Children’s Song Killer had struck three times in a row.
The Adelade Family had not only called in heavy reinforcements from the Six Street Gang but had also been on high alert!
They had even modified the building to include numerous combat robots and automatic turrets.
You Ming wondered how, despite the anesthetic’s potency and its imperceptible nature, it could have such an overwhelming effect.
Especially considering the head of the Adelade Family, old Adelade, not only a Super King of Eight Realms but also equipped with top-tier gear.

Yet such a powerful retired Two Star Marshal was gruesomely slain in his own stronghold!
“Minister!”
At that moment, one of You Ming’s subordinates approached, an Armament General serving as the temporary director of the Special Service Center.
His expression was solemn, “Not only did we fail to retrieve any data from inside the mansion, but we also couldn’t find any video footage related to this mansion in the surrounding ten kilometers.
They have a very powerful hacker who preemptively adjusted the cameras’ angles.”
“Not just a hacker, they likely also have a very powerful illusionist, at least a Seven Realms level sniper!
Otherwise, we can’t explain what we see here.”
You Ming squinted his eyes, “This indicates that this person currently has significant financial resources.
Investigate!
I want a list of all mages and snipers within the Earth Federation with a comprehensive evaluation of 7SS or higher.
After gathering the information, I will once again use headquarters’ ‘Sky View, Earth Listen’ big data model and super quantum computer cluster for calculation!”
As he spoke, he began drafting an application report to headquarters.
As the first deputy minister of Division 9, You Ming also held high clearance within the Security Bureau.
He expected to gain access to ‘Sky View, Earth Listen’ and the supercomputing cluster within an hour.
However, just as You Ming’s application was submitted, he received an email of the highest communication priority.
Lin Rui had not expected that the investigation of the “Children’s Song Killer” would really fall into his hands, and that it was the mayor himself who had personally appointed him.
What then?
Was he to investigate himself?
However, when the time came, Lin Rui saw no reason to shirk his responsibility.
He saluted solemnly, “Thunder guarantees to complete the mission!
Let Ninth Base City regain peace.”
“Hmm?” Huo Bangguo looked at this ‘Thunder’ with a curious expression, “Does Director Thunder have any ideas?
Let’s hear them.”
He keenly noticed that the other had said ‘let Ninth Base City regain peace,’ not to apprehend the Children’s Song Killer.
Lin Rui spoke expressionlessly, “Mr.
Mayor, I think Deputy Minister You’s previous plan of action was somewhat putting the cart before the horse.”
Huo Bangguo listened intently without agreeing or disagreeing.
“I believe that Deputy Minister You’s city-wide alert not only wears out the police and our Security Bureau members but also causes panic among the citizens, affecting their lives to some extent, and we are protecting those gang members, which is hard to justify to the public.
From what I know, since the assassin group known as the Children’s Song Killer specifically targets gangs, this person has a very high reputation among the public and online.”
As Lin Rui spoke, he observed Huo Bangguo’s expression: “The Children’s Song Killer has violated national law and must, of course, be pursued and captured!
However, with the general elections approaching, I believe there’s no need to make a significant fuss over this person.
What we need to do is to cure the symptoms before tackling the root causes, and to address the root causes, we must clear the sources!”
Huo Bangguo’s expression shifted, “To address the root causes and clear the sources?
What do you mean, Admiral Thunder?”
“If I were to oversee this case, I would start by launching a campaign against organized crime throughout the city.”
Lin Rui declared resonantly, “I will strive to take down three to five of the most rampant, large-scale gangs with the greatest public outrage before the elections, thoroughly eliminating those who endanger society.
This not only prevents the Children’s Song Killer from continuing his crimes but also restores societal peace, and maximally gains public support to welcome the upcoming elections.”
Zhou Yunfei blinked upon hearing this, wondering what sort of miraculous strategy is this?
So, the target of the Children’s Song Killer is gangs, so we’ll strike them first, leaving the Children’s Song Killer without suitable targets for his attacks?
Huo Bangguo was very satisfied with what he heard and turned to Zhou Yunfei, “Minister Zhou, as far as I know, your Special Service Center hasn’t appointed a director yet, right?
Can we let Admiral Thunder temporarily take up this position while granting him greater authority?”
Huo Bangguo thought that You Ming hadn’t reversed priorities but rather, this man was not in the same position as Admiral Thunder.
Admiral Thunder’s approach to handling the Children’s Song Killer wouldn’t have been possible in the past, but the current situation was different.
From the current situation, the President was about to collapse, and the national election was a foregone conclusion.
At this time, public opinion and the electoral situation were the most important.
Huo Bangguo was very pleased with this ‘Admiral Thunder,’ thinking that he truly lived up to being the talent earnestly sought by the Second General!
