Chapter 177

After Jaden heard Phoebe say that, not only did he not object, but he was also very happy. He asked, “Of course. Why don’t we meet?”

Phoebe smiled and said, “Sure!”

Half an hour later, Phoebe got in Jaden’s car. Soren was also sitting in the car.

Jaden said to Phoebe, “Let’s go to the scene and take a look. We can check the surveillance footage again.” Other than the surveillance camera, he wanted to bring Phoebe to see if he could find any new clues.

Phoebe had the same thought. “That’s for the best.”

On the way, Jaden invited Phoebe again. “Phoebe, our boss has always thought highly of you. He hopes that you can join the Special Force.”

“You quit the Horoscope Association. Do you want to consider our department now?”

“If you join, you can always follow up on Una’s case.”

Phoebe was testing Special Force to see if there was anything wrong with them. In fact, she already had the intention to join. This was her second move. She would use Special Force to fight against the Horoscope Association. She could also catch all the people who colluded with that person in Special Force.

She was not pretentious. “Don’t you have some kind of non-staff personnel? Can I join that kind?” If she became a member of Special Force directly, she would not have that much time to carry out missions.

When Jaden heard that there was a chance, he smiled and said, “Yes. It also belongs to the Special Force, but it’s much freer than us. If there’s any important mission that requires cooperation, we’ll ask for your opinion first. If you agree, you can join the mission. If you don’t want to join the mission, we won’t force you. However, non-staff personnel will only be rewarded every time they complete a mission. They will also be given some resources every year. But there’s still a difference in benefits. For example, we have a salary and a reward for completing the mission. We will be given benefits every month. Of course, we don’t have the right to choose freely. If there’s a mission, we have to do it. There are pros and cons.”

Phoebe smiled and said, “Then I’ll join the supernumerary…”

Jaden knew that Phoebe was not short of money, so he said, “That’s great. You’re welcome to join us.” With the addition of Phoebe, their faction’s strength could increase by a notch.

He said, “After returning to the department today, I’ll help you with the employment procedures and documents. When it’s done, I’ll take you to see our leader.”

Phoebe nodded. “Okay!”

She looked at Soren. “Are you two working together again on the Una case?” While abroad, she learned that Jaden was the captain of Squad One, and Soren was the captain of Squad Two.

Soren smiled and said, “Yes, our two teams will work together this time. After Jaden received your call, he went to investigate the Una case. I was interested, so I applied to join. Our leaders are the same, so we often work together.”

Phoebe asked, “Who is your leader?”

Soren replied, “Special Force’s deputy minister. He only manages Squads One to Three. Three other teams are run by another undersecretary.” He deliberately emphasized to her, “Our relationship with the other three teams is very ordinary. We basically won’t cooperate with them. There are conflicts of opinion between the two leaders.”

Phoebe roughly understood what he meant. The other deputy minister and the people from the other three teams were most likely biased towards the person behind the scenes.

Phoebe nodded. “I see.”

She asked again, “How many leaders does Special Force have?”

Soren said, “One minister and two deputy ministers. And then the captains of the six teams.” The minister is only in charge. He rarely manages things, and he’s about to retire. “Therefore, the two deputy ministers are mainly in charge.”

Phoebe said, “Doesn’t that mean we’re divided into two factions? Is there a lot of competition?”

Soren nodded. “It’s quite big, but you’re a non-staff member, so it won’t affect you much. Non-staff personnel have more freedom. Even if another deputy minister wants to assign you a mission, you can refuse. Besides, you’re not part of his team. With us around, there’s nothing he can do to you.”

He continued. The place where Una died was originally under the jurisdiction of one of their teams. But they also believe that Una committed suicide. That’s why Jaden was strongly opposed when he proposed to investigate. That captain even came and scolded him. He said that he had crossed the line. It was only because their leader went to do some work and argued with another deputy minister that they were allowed to investigate. He was also clearly telling Phoebe that there was something wrong with the other party.

Jaden said, “That’s right. So this time, we must find out who the culprit is. Otherwise, they’ll definitely mock me.”

Phoebe nodded. “Then catch them.” She had to catch an important person. Otherwise, her efforts would have been in vain.

After arriving at the place, they first went to Una’s house to take a look. She didn’t find any problems. Phoebe said, “There’s nothing wrong with her room. There’s no fluctuation from evil energy, so she must have been taken away before she died. Let’s go look at the surveillance footage.”

Jaden nodded and brought her to the surveillance room. After showing their identification documents, the staff let them enter. Phoebe took a notebook and copied the video to the computer to check. She said, “There’s indeed something wrong with the surveillance footage. Look, there are loopholes in the surveillance cameras for a period of time.” She pulled up two videos and showed them at a certain time.

Jaden was shocked after watching it. “It’s true. There’s a difference of more than two minutes between these two videos. Then where did the two minutes go? Could it be that those two minutes were cut by someone?” Puzzled, he continued, “But after we got the surveillance footage, we’ve already asked professionals to check it. There are no traces of editing.”
