However, after hearing about Master Long's matter, this person not only didn't give up easily, but instead kept probing indirectly. It was as if he was investigating something. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly, then casually said to the person from the relevant unit:

"I really didn't expect that people in your relevant departments are so gossipy. Aren't you working in a relevant department now? And I heard that Master Long has already been sent in, right? Is there something you don't know? Your relevant departments keep things secret too."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at the person in front of him (Wang Dezhao) with a curious expression. Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, had a hint of helplessness in his eyes. However, Xia Yan originally thought that this was just a joke and would not cause any harm.

Moreover, if he and Shirogane Miyuki stayed here without asking any questions and kept talking, it would easily arouse suspicion. After realizing this, Xia Yan looked at this person with anticipation.

This person looked extremely embarrassed, but in his heart, he was now even more certain of one thing.

Chapter 365 Analysis

Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko certainly didn't know his current identity. After realizing this, his expression gradually became calmer, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, who were standing to the side, had also been paying attention to that person's behavior. After seeing this scene, they looked at each other and a smile slowly appeared on their lips.

However, they did not provide any useful clues when questioned by that person, since they genuinely did not know anything about those matters. Therefore, when that person questioned them, they did not reveal any flaws.

However, the two of them still carefully remembered all the questions that person asked. After all, in their view, the fact that that person was connected to the person behind the scenes proved that the person behind the scenes likely knew about these questions.

The person seemed to realize that they wouldn't get any useful clues, so they didn't stay long. After playing around for a while, the three of them went their separate ways. After returning, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko's expressions became serious. Not only that, although they had carefully remembered the questions the person had asked, they were indeed stuck in a dilemma when analyzing them.

Because the person from the relevant unit seemed to be very familiar with Master Long's situation, Xia Yan frowned slightly upon realizing this, then glanced at Shirogane Miyuki beside him and said:

"This is really strange. When we were trying to send Master Long to prison, we investigated a lot of evidence, but none of it showed that he had offended anyone else."

Shirogane Miyuki frowned slightly. He actually agreed with Xia Yan's statement, but at the same time, he knew the current situation was unfavorable for them. Realizing this, he sighed softly, glanced at Xia Yan beside him, and then said:

"Actually, I feel that there's a reason why that person from the relevant unit is so familiar with Master Long's affairs. After all, he works in the relevant unit, so it's not impossible for him to find out some information. Besides, we entrusted everything about Master Long to the relevant unit back then."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki's expression gradually became serious. A hint of confusion flashed in Natsuhiko's eyes, but he still looked at Shirogane Miyuki with a puzzled expression and said:

“I understand what you’re saying, but think about it, what kind of information can’t be found out by the relevant authorities and is related to the two of us? Besides, you were in the next room at the time and overheard the conversation between the person from the relevant authorities and the mastermind behind the scenes. So I want to know what they’re looking for. And since they’re so familiar with Master Long’s affairs, it seems that what they’re looking for is of great importance to them.”

A hint of agreement flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, and then he nodded to Xia Yan. They then analyzed the situation carefully, because the person from the relevant unit was very familiar with the matter of Master Long, and the two of them also learned some other things about Master Long from that person.

Realizing this, the two looked at each other, their brows furrowing tightly, but perseverance pays off.

Chapter 366 A Letter

After some analysis and with the help of other friends, they quickly learned that the person from the relevant department and the person behind the scenes were looking for a letter left by Master Long.

However, when they heard this news, a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes, because in their view, they were also quite familiar with Master Long, and all the evidence of Master Long's crimes was found and handed over by them.

But they hadn't encountered any letters during this time, and even if they had, they didn't know where they'd put them. Realizing this, a hint of worry flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He then glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and said to him:

"Oh dear, what should we do about this? If the person behind this gets their hands on this letter beforehand, it could be extremely disadvantageous for us, especially since we have no idea what's written on it."

A shadow crossed Shirogane Miyuki's eyes, then he pondered for a moment before saying:

“I understand what you’re saying, but our most important task right now is to find that letter. Besides, after hearing their conversation, you should understand how important that letter is to them. So, regardless of whether the contents of the letter are relevant to us or not, we must find it first.”

After hearing these words, Xia Yan's agreement deepened. However, they had no idea where the letter was or what clues they had. Realizing this, a hint of difficulty flashed in their eyes.

However, after searching everywhere, the two still couldn't find any clues about the letter. When they saw the scene before them, they frowned slightly and sighed softly. But after some thought, they realized that the letter was missing.

Finally, they discovered there was one more place they hadn't found: Dragon Lord's former base. Upon realizing this, a glint of light flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, naturally understood Xia Yan's thoughts, but in Shirogane Miyuki's view, this matter was extremely risky.

You should know that they escaped from Lord Long's base before, and not only that, they also learned about the huge damage inside the base, although Lord Long has long since been sent to the relevant authorities.

However, after those in the relevant units learned of this, they also attached great importance to that base. Therefore, the current situation was already very unfavorable to them. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki sighed softly, glanced at Xia Yan, and then said to him:

...... .. 0

"Are you really sure? You should know that the Dragon Lord's base is now heavily guarded by relevant personnel. If we want to get in, we'll be taking a huge risk. Besides, if we're discovered by the relevant authorities, we might alert them and also the mole within those authorities."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at Xia Yan with a serious expression. Xia Yan naturally understood Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts, but for Xia Yan, this was the last clue. Realizing this, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 367 Base

Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, naturally saw through Xia Yan's thoughts. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but at the same time, he was also very clear in his heart that Xia Yan's considerations were all absolutely correct.

Now, the only place they hadn't searched was Long Ye's old base. Realizing this, a determined look flashed across Shirogane Yuki's face. After discussing some other matters and packing up their belongings, they ventured out once again to Long Ye's old base.

But when they quietly slipped here, a look of shock flashed in their eyes. Although they had considered that there would be personnel from relevant units guarding the place, they hadn't expected to completely surround the base. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki, standing to the side, showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes, then glanced helplessly at Xia Yan, and said to him:

"Look, look, I told you so. I knew the authorities would surround this place, but I really didn't expect them to be so thorough this time. Could there really be other secrets in this base? Why are so many people missing?"

Xia Yan frowned slightly. This was also unexpected. He thought there would only be guards from relevant units here, but he didn't expect there to be so many people guarding it. But now that they had cautiously arrived here, they had to go inside.

Realizing this, Xia Yan's determination deepened. He then carefully examined the four sides, picked out the weakest spot, and pointed it at Shirogane Miyuki beside him.

Upon seeing this scene, a knowing glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. The two of them then carefully made their way towards that place. After going through many hardships and avoiding the sight of many people, they finally managed to sneak into the base.

Fortunately, the authorities had only surrounded the outside; there was no one inside. Seeing that scene, Shirogane Miyuki slowly exhaled, patted his chest, and said:

"We should really feel lucky. Look, there's not a single person here. If there were any government officials among us, we would definitely be dead this time..."

A hint of approval flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but he still carefully observed the surroundings before patting Shirogane Miyuki on the shoulder and saying to him:

"Alright, alright, we finally managed to infiltrate this base. Now let's hurry up and find something. It wouldn't be good if someone else got there first. You know, there are so many places here. If we go to them one by one, it will take a lot of time."

After saying these words, Xia Yan sighed softly and then began searching there. When Shirogane Miyuki saw this scene, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but his hands did not stop moving.

The two of them continued searching within the base, but after searching several places, they still couldn't find it. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko exchanged a glance, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.

Chapter 368: Gathering Information

After all, they had searched every place the two of them could think of, but still found no clues. Realizing this, Xia Yan pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Do you think we two have misjudged this? Do you think Master Long might have other places to hide things that we don't know about?"

After saying these words, Xia Yan's brows furrowed more and more tightly. A trace of distress flashed in the eyes of Bai Yin Yuxing, who was standing to the side. At the same time, he was also very clear in his mind that it seemed that what they were looking for was not in this base.

However, neither of them wanted to give up now. Moreover, when they overheard someone from the relevant unit contacting the person behind the scenes, they already knew that Long Ye's thing was definitely of great importance to them.

If they were to be involved in this, the consequences would be extremely serious. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki's troubled expression deepened. However, he finally sighed softly and then said:

“I see that we can’t find what we’re looking for here anymore. In that case, let’s not stay here any longer. It would be bad if we attracted the attention of the authorities outside. Besides, we’ve searched so many places and haven’t found it. Why don’t we go to the prison to see Master Long? Maybe we can get some new information from him.”

After hearing these words, Xia Yan pondered for a moment, a hint of agreement flashing in his eyes. The two of them then cautiously left the base. The next day, without wasting any time, they went directly to the prison to visit Master Long.

When Master Long saw the two of them, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly. However, a strange smile slowly spread across his lips, and then he said to the two people in front of him:

"You two are really rare guests. I thought I would never see you in my life. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come and find me. Is there something important you need to see me about?"

After saying these words, Lord Long smiled and looked at the two people in front of him. When Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan saw this scene, they looked at each other and frowned slightly. However, at the same time, they knew very well that Lord Long must have a secret.

However, after all, the two of them came here to gather information, and they were well aware that the news of their meeting with Master Long would not escape the notice of the person in the relevant department.

More importantly, if they asked openly, wouldn't the person in the relevant unit get the information faster than they did? Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko exchanged glances, but instead of revealing the truth, they spoke cryptically to the Dragon Lord in front of them.

Long Ye's brows furrowed more and more, but at the same time, he was beginning to vaguely guess what Bai Yin Yuxing and Xia Yan had come for.

Realizing this, the smile on Long Ye's lips deepened, but he dared not reveal his secret. Seeing this, Shirogane Yukichi's eyes flashed with anxiety. For him, this matter was no longer just about Long Ye.

Chapter 369 Investigation

Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, instantly became anxious. He glanced at the Dragon Lord in front of him and said directly:

"Let me tell you, you don't need to hide this from us anymore. The current situation is already very bad for you, because there are already many people outside investigating this matter. So the wisest choice for you now is to cooperate with us. If we wait until this matter is exposed, we won't know how to help you. At that time, you will be completely helpless."

After saying these words, Shirogane Miyuki looked at Lord Long with a serious expression, but Lord Long frowned slightly and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

For Master Long, this matter was handled so discreetly that no one else would know about it. Now, Shirogane Yuki and Natsuhiko are coming to him purely to get information out of him.

Therefore, Lord Long was now very wary of Shirogane Miyuki and Xia Yan. Realizing this, he frowned slightly, glanced at the two men, and then said to them:

"What are you two saying? I don't understand. If you two have come to see me sincerely, then I am naturally welcome. Anyway, I am an old man here and no one is here to talk to. But if you have come for other reasons, then let's not talk. I don't want to see you either."

Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Yuki and Natsuhiko exchanged glances, their brows furrowing slightly. At the same time, they were well aware that Lord Long harbored resentment towards them.

Of course, they could understand Master Long very well, after all, they were the ones who sent him to this prison. Realizing this, they sighed softly, even though Shirogane Yuki repeatedly assured Master Long that someone was investigating the matter.

However, Master Long kept the whole story a secret from the two of them. Realizing this, the two could only return empty-handed.

After they left the prison, a hint of anxiety flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. He glanced at Xia Yan beside him and then said to him:

"What do you think we should do about this? We've already found Master Long. If we tell the relevant authorities, they'll definitely suspect us. But we haven't found out a single clue."

Xia Yan frowned slightly; he was indeed quite troubled, but at the same time, he did think of some people. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he said:

"Since this matter is related to the reason, I don't believe that he is the only one who knows about it. It must be related to the people around him. After all, we used to know Master Long and the people around him. We also know their current (Wang's) address. Why don't we go and find them out?"

After hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki pondered for a moment, a hint of agreement flashing in his eyes. After all, in Shirogane Miyuki's view, they had no other choice but to go find Long Ye's former subordinates.

After making some inquiries, the two of them went directly to the people they had met before. When they saw Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, a look of shock flashed in their eyes.

Chapter 370 Details

However, thinking back to how they had sent Master Long to prison to get them out of danger, these people were still very grateful to Xia Yan, so they hurriedly invited Xia Yan in.

Xia Yan frowned slightly, but he didn't hide anything from the people in front of him, and instead asked them directly:

"As you all know, no one visits a temple without a reason, so I've come here today because I have something I'd like to ask you."

The doubts in the eyes of those present were gradually deepening, but they were also very willing to help Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuuki, so they hurriedly replied:

"Please don't say that. You've helped us a lot before. If you have any problems, just tell us and we'll definitely help."

A smile slowly crept onto Xia Yan's lips. He then clearly stated his purpose for coming and asked in detail about a series of events that had happened to Master Long in the past.

Although everyone was very puzzled, they still answered one by one. However, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, who were standing to the side, frowned deeply after hearing their answers.

Because most of the questions they asked were related to what Master Long had done in the past, but unexpectedly, they did not get any clues about the past from these questions.

Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko exchanged a glance, a hint of difficulty flashing in their eyes. However, they didn't give up yet, because for them, this was their last clue. After realizing this, they sighed softly, then asked for many more details and carefully recorded them.

After he finished doing these things, Xia Yan sighed softly, thanked everyone in front of him, and then they did not stay there for long, but returned to their residence.

Having just returned home, Shirogane Miyuki slumped onto the sofa, sighed softly, and then said:

“I don’t think this matter is as simple as we think. But think about it, we’ve already investigated so many people, and we haven’t found any clues about the previous construction in these details. If someone else gets there first, we’ll be in danger. You should think about what we should do now.”

A meaningful glint flashed in Xia Yan's eyes, but he put all the things he had just recorded on the table, then took a piece of white paper and started writing and drawing on it. Upon seeing this, Shirogane Miyuki immediately moved closer to Xia Yan.

So the two of them started working on it together, piecing together all the relevant details. However, after preparing for a long time, they still couldn't find anything suspicious. Realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki's anxiety deepened. Xia Yan, who was standing beside him, noticed Shirogane Miyuki's thoughts, sighed softly, patted him on the shoulder, and then said to him:

"Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking, but we can't rush this. Besides, we have no leads, and the relevant authorities have even fewer. So, we're still in the lead, and I have a feeling we can find something in these details."

Chapter 371 Losing temper

Miyuki Shirogane now wholeheartedly agrees with Natsuhiko's assessment, but they have wasted far too much time on this matter. Moreover, although Kaguya is currently in that small town, Miyuki Shirogane feels extremely uneasy.

So although Xia Yan insisted in his heart that he could find some clues from these details, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing next to him, quickly became irritable.

In Shirogane Miyuki's view, they had already invested so much effort and time, but had not found any clues at all. Moreover, when they went to ask Long Ye for information, he was so uncooperative. After realizing this, Shirogane Miyuki became more and more anxious. He felt that he would definitely not be able to find this clue.
