Chapter 1042 - 1042

With such suspicions.

Dirk Carter then stopped insisting.

He said, "Alright then, I'll trouble Secretary Marshall to handle the procedures first, while our supervision group gets busy."

"Okay, Secretary General Carter, feel free to ask if you need any help."

After politely finishing these words.

Bronson Marshall turned and left.

As soon as he left.

Deputy team leader Heath Woods came over, just about to speak, Dirk Carter asked, "Comrade Heath, do you smoke?"

Heath Woods was taken aback.

He replied, "I do."

"Then join me outside for a smoke."

After saying that, Dirk Carter pulled out a cigarette and walked out the door.

Arriving at the courtyard of the subdistrict office, Dirk Carter leisurely walked into a small pavilion.

After the two lit cigarettes, Heath Woods eagerly said, "Leader, I don't think the county is very cooperative with our work."

"Was it like this when Secretary Sutton was around?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Here we first need to talk about Heath Woods as a person.

Heath Woods was once a direct subordinate of Heriberto Sutton.

Back then, when Heriberto Sutton wanted to investigate the 626 case, it was Heath Woods whom he had busy with the investigation group.

As Athena Meyer would say, Heath Woods was one of the few pragmatists in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection of Silverwood City, he was very diligent in his work; only within Silverwood City's environment, his abilities were destined not to be utilized effectively.

After Heriberto Sutton passed away.

Sidney Lewis didn't like him very much.

Thus, he was neglected.

Dirk Carter also chose him as the deputy team leader only after conducting an inspection on him.

Heath Woods shook his head.

He said, "Previously, the inspection group was mostly for show, in reality, there was no actual work content; just a few days of eating, drinking, and playing before going back to report, Silverwood City's years of work reports from the Disciplinary Inspection Commission reflect this point."

Dirk Carter nodded slightly.

He said, "I've also noticed, Marshall seems to be intentionally delaying, in other words, our purpose for this trip may have already been exposed."

"How is that possible? Our specific work hasn't been announced yet, no one should know our focus."

Seeing his panicked look.

Dirk Carter knew that Heath Woods must be thinking Dirk Carter was suspecting him.

Patting his shoulder, he comforted, "The issue may not be with you, perhaps somewhere else a leak happened, if they already know, our office location might have secretly been equipped with monitoring or eavesdropping."

"I'll go find out!"

Heath Woods hastily tried to turn around.

Dirk Carter grabbed him.

He said, "No need, first throw a misleading tactic, let them think we are unaware that they've been informed, this way, we can catch them off guard; I asked you to arrange things in advance, did you finish it?"

Heath Woods nodded.

He said, "I've already arranged for two reliable investigators to start scouting in Majestic Peak Town."

"Good, cover for them; the next step in our work, let's start with other towns, remember, don't reveal anything."

"Got it, leader."

After finishing this sentence.

Heath Woods went off to work.

Standing in place smoking.

Dirk Carter was also filled with doubts.

His operation in Majestic Peak Town should have been absolutely confidential, how was it leaked?

However, for now, it's only his speculation.

He could confirm it.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and called Joachim Young.

"Dirk, I was just thinking about calling you, worried you were busy, thinking to call at noon instead; how about grabbing lunch together?"

On the phone, Joachim Young enthusiastically said.

"I was thinking the same, you arrange the time and place, I'll come over; you're the host, you have to treat."

Dirk Carter jested.

Joachim Young laughed heartily, and said, "Of course, alright, I'll arrange it and send you the info."

After hanging up.

Dirk Carter's mood lifted a bit.

It seemed his strategy of first sending Joachim Young to Greshire County was starting to show results.

Noon.

At a restaurant not far from in front of Merton Subdistrict Office.

The two had a simple lunch.

After finishing.

Dirk Carter wiped his mouth.

He sighed, "Joachim, what a bond we have, you barely arrived in Greshire County, and I followed, hahaha..."

Joachim Young laughed as well.

He said, "Yes, truly a coincidence."

"Then brother, you must not be stingy, give me plenty of support at work."

"Certainly, but..."

Suddenly, Joachim Young hesitated to continue.

"What is it?"

Dirk Carter feigned surprise.

Joachim Young smiled, and said, "In front of you, there's nothing to hide; before you came, Secretary Payne held an internal meeting, asking us... not to have contact with your supervision group, all of your group's actions must go through his approval, in essence, he meant not to provide any help to you..."

"Huh, what's Secretary Payne's intention?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Joachim Young waved his hand, said, "No need to overthink, your group was meant to be symbolic, really doesn't matter much whether there's help, you'll return when time's up."

"Brother's words make sense, alright, I understand."

Dirk Carter said.

After the meal.

Dirk Carter returned to the station, demanding the supervision group start the tour inspection of the three subdistricts under Greshire County.

At this moment, he has basically confirmed that his objective to investigate Majestic Peak Town may indeed have been leaked.

Sure enough.

Over the next three days.

Apart from Marshall coming once.

The Greshire County Committee and Government did not provide any assistance.

Without the interventions of the County Disciplinary Commission.

Work for the supervision group was difficult.

Cooperation from all the subdistrict offices was also limited.

In short, it was hard to roll up sleeves and do much.

Even within the supervision group, complaints began, and the initial fighting spirit was also considerably worn out.

The same evening.

Behind the door of Majestic Peak Town Grand Theatre.

A Passat car stopped.

At that time, the head of Majestic Peak Town, Brent Lowell, was already waiting at the door.

Seeing the car stop.

He proactively went up to open the car door.

In the backseat, two people got out, one was Greshire County's top official Griffith Payne, and the other was County Disciplinary Commission Secretary Bronson Marshall.

The three did not speak, seemingly to avoid attracting any attention.

Led by Brent Lowell.

The three walked through the backdoor and entered an elevator.

Soon.

The elevator stopped at the floor level.

Brent Lowell pushed open a concealed small door.

The opulent KTV room emerged before the two.

"Please, leaders, sit!"

Finally being able to talk.

Brent Lowell hurriedly invited the two to sit down on the sofa.

As soon as they sat.

Brent Lowell said, "I'll call the ladies over."

"Wait."

Bronson Marshall suddenly gestured to stop him.
