The Legend of Dragon and Phoenix of Douluo

Chapter 229: Insinuating the thieves

The next day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Wu Bo, Xing Zhuo, Gu Ming and Xu Lin came to visit the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.

They said it was a visit, but in fact they were here to pick up the elixir. Last night they were notified that they could come in the morning to pick up the hundred-year life-extending elixir.

In the hall on the seventh floor of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, Gu Yuena put the three boxes together and handed them out.

Wu Bo, Xing Zuo, and Xu Lin looked at each other, and each reached out excitedly to take a box. As soon as they took it, they couldn't wait to open it.

When the box was opened, a round longan-sized elixir appeared in the eyes, followed by the refreshing fragrance of the elixir.

Smelling the fragrance of this elixir, all three of them looked intoxicated, and the feeling of comfort coming from every part of their bodies was indescribable.

Gu Ming has taken two hundred-year life-extending pills. She is very familiar with the pills and their fragrance, and knows that they are genuine hundred-year life-extending pills.

Wu Bo, Xing Zhuo, and Gu Ming looked at Gu Ming with a questioning look in their eyes, as if they were saying, is it a longevity pill?

Gu Ming smiled and nodded. Seeing his smile, the three of them were overjoyed. They closed the box and held it tightly.

"I, Wu Bo, will definitely remember the gift of the elixir. If you need help from Dragon Phoenix Palace in the future, please come to me and I will do my best," Wu Bo said seriously.

The weight of this elixir is very heavy. Although he has also helped the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, it is somewhat insignificant compared to the value of this elixir.

In his opinion, he still took advantage of the Dragon Phoenix Palace, so he felt indebted and that's why he said this.

"Me too. As long as the Dragon and Phoenix Palace needs help, Xing Desi will never refuse." Xing Desi was equally solemn.

Xu Lin smiled and made a promise, promising that if there were any difficulties in the Dragon Phoenix Palace in the future, he would definitely help.

He did not make a guarantee on behalf of the Sun and Moon Royal Academy, but in his own name.

Yunze and Gu Yuena, who were opposite the four of them, both smiled slightly. They did not pretend to refuse the promise made by the three of them, and their smiles were accepted.

"Look at Gu Gu, Elder Wu, and Elder Xing all have sad expressions on their eyebrows. Is it because of what happened yesterday?" Yunze asked casually.

When talking about yesterday's events, Gu Ming and the four of them all had wry smiles on their faces, and the sadness between their brows became more intense as they thought of troublesome things.

"Although you are young, your mind is mature and very smart. We are indeed worried about what happened yesterday," Gu Ming said.

"Leaving like this seems to be in a hurry. Why don't you guys just sit here and have a chat?" Gu Yuena suggested with a smile.

Gu Ming and the others really wanted to take the elixir and leave. There were still many things waiting for them to deal with, and they didn't have time to stay too long.

But after hearing what Gu Yuena said, it was hard to refuse, so she nodded in agreement, and the few of them sat and chatted.

"You should also know what happened yesterday. The Star Dou Forest was bombed and the Spirit Transferring Tower suffered heavy losses. The explosion has been determined to be caused by a god-killing weapon that destroyed the world."

"After verification, it was found that not only the Destruction of Heaven and Earth was stolen, but also the Devouring Heaven and Earth that we were responsible for keeping."

"Our Federal Research Institute is responsible for keeping the artillery shells. After they are stolen, the responsibility will naturally be on us."

"We three old guys have been busy investigating since yesterday afternoon and haven't slept at night. It's strange that we don't have a sad look on our faces until now," Gu Ming said helplessly.

His helplessness was related to the theft of God-killing weapons. There were no clues or clues in the investigation of this matter, which made him very helpless.

As the director of the Federal Research Institute, he is primarily responsible for the theft of the God-killing cannonballs, and he is also the one who worries the most.

If this matter is not handled well, he will have no choice but to take the blame and resign to give an explanation to the people and the federal government.

Taking the blame and resigning is the most honorable result. If the federal government holds him accountable and removes him from office, it will be a bit shameful.

"Were the shells really stolen?" Gu Yuena pretended to be surprised.

"Yes." Gu Ming nodded and said, "I went to check it myself. Swallowing Heaven and Earth was really taken away."

"Have you found out who did it or any clues?" Yunze asked, looking very curious about this question.

"If we knew who stole it, we wouldn't be so worried." Wu Bo shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The thief must have been planning for a long time, and his actions were flawless, leaving no clues or other traces."

"We had people check the surveillance for the past half a month overnight and found nothing unusual. We have now arranged for people to review the surveillance for the past six months."

"If there is no monitoring for the past six months, then you can only look at the monitoring for the past year. If there is no monitoring, then look at the monitoring for the past two or three years."

"I just hope that we haven't looked through the surveillance footage of the thieves for the time being, and that the other party has not deleted the surveillance footage," Xing Desi said.

If the other party deletes the monitoring, it will be troublesome, and it is likely that they will completely cut off the clues.

"I feel that if the other party has deleted the monitoring, it would be easier to investigate. After all, deleting the monitoring requires people to operate it. These people are the direction of the investigation."

"Maybe among these people, there are people arranged by the thieves, or people who were betrayed by them."

Yunze said casually, it seemed like he said it casually, but it reminded Gu Ming and others.

"This is a good suggestion," Gu Ming mused. They were so busy before that they didn't think about it calmly and ignored this.

"After returning home, it is necessary to investigate all those responsible for monitoring, focusing on their bank accounts," Xing Desi said.

Yunze glanced at Gu Yuena beside him. The latter understood and pretended to be confused: "The preservation of God-killing-level artillery shells should be very secretive and strict."

"How on earth did this thief know the location of the cannonball and steal it quietly?"

This question made Gu Ming and the three of them fall into deep thought. Yes, how did they do it?

"There must be an insider. Without the help of people in the Federal Research Institute, I don't think they could have stolen the shells quietly."

"Unless they are gods, they may be able to do this, but how is this possible?" Xu Lin said in a deep voice.

Then he shook his head. It was God who did it. It was a theoretical guess. In fact, it was impossible. It was God, so why did he steal the cannonball?

"I also think there is someone inside the Federal Research Institute, and his status is not low," Gu Ming said.

After the incident happened, he suspected that there might be someone inside. Now this analysis has strengthened his thoughts.

"Those who can help thieves steal the God-killing cannonballs must be at the core researcher level," Wu Bo said.

Within the Federal Research Institute, there are four levels: junior, intermediate, senior and core researchers.

Among them, the core researchers are not only the pillars of the Federal Research Institute, but also the management, which is equivalent to the director of a normal academy.

It's just that they have a lot of directors, a dozen in total. Gu Ming, Wu Bo, and Xing Desi are all senior core researchers and have the highest status.
