Chapter 816: Chapter 689: Someone Wants to Harm Godfather—They Must Die!
Li Shang seemed to be losing his composure, wanting to complain to his friend:
"It’s really difficult to deal with, the case is more enigmatic than I imagined. After the site inspection, one of the bodies has mysteriously disappeared..."
Feng Mu’s face showed a look of astonishment, a nerve in his brain was triggered, and he was about to ask for more details.
A cold voice beside him spoke unceremoniously:
"Captain Li, do you need me to remind you about the confidentiality principles of the case, or are you deliberately leaking investigation details to try to do something through this person?"
This accusation was extremely malicious, not only directly accusing Li Shang of breaking discipline and harboring ulterior motives, but also dragging Feng Mu into it, implying his involvement in some unspeakable affair.
This kind of person deserves condemnation!
What Li Shang was about to say was abruptly blocked, his mouth tightly shut, and his face visibly darkened, turning steely blue.
Tian Xiaohai, who had been standing like a spear beside the car, sharply raised his head upon hearing this, his eyes suddenly ignited with uncontrollable fury.
Someone wants to harm his godfather, they must die!
Tian Xiaohai had been educated so well by Tian Tao that, although not saying he loathed evil, he was definitely a passionate youth.
Feng Mu gently raised his hand, patting Tian Xiaohai’s shoulder. The latter felt the force and calming intention from Feng Mu’s hand, and then he suddenly lowered his head, repeatedly admonishing himself:
"Calm down! Godfather didn’t let me act, I mustn’t be impulsive! I must never act impulsively and bring unnecessary trouble to Godfather!"
Feng Mu glanced at that person, who was sparkling with malicious brightness, and quietly memorized this unfamiliar face.
Meanwhile, he still smiled at Li Shang:
"Captain Li, who is this? He looks unfamiliar, seems like I haven’t seen him before."
Li Shang coldly snorted and said:
"Sent by Zheng Geng from the Mechanical Department, not lending any help in the investigation, utterly useless.
Good at putting on airs, following procedures, and labeling people, really annoying, you don’t mind him, just ignore him."
The man from the Mechanical Department, seeing Li Shang’s real anger and unfriendly tone, didn’t provoke further. Instead, he stood sinisterly at the side, continuing to scrutinize Feng Mu up and down with an assessing gaze.
He secretly sneered and felt a bit smug:
"Li Shang is agitated, the more intense his reaction, the more it proves his relationship with Feng Mu is indeed unusual.
It seems that my suggestion to Special Commissioner Zheng to first break through from Feng Mu was completely correct and feasible!"
Visibly, in Feng Mu’s eyes, the man from the Mechanical Department glowed even brighter.
Seeing the man from the Mechanical Department fell silent, Feng Mu regretfully retracted his gaze, and the latter didn’t realize what he lost.
This might have been the closest he ever came to having his own name in this lifetime.
With this interlude, Feng Mu lost interest in continuing the conversation, he nodded to Li Shang and said:
"Captain Li, proceed with your own affairs, I won’t disturb you further. There are still some trifles at Second Prison I need to handle.
If there’s anything later that I, Feng Mu, can help with, feel free to call."
Feng Mu, without avoiding suspicion, said these words in front of the man from the Mechanical Department, causing Li Shang to involuntarily clench his fist, the warmth in his heart dispelling the bone-chilling cold that had soaked him in filth since yesterday like magma.
Li Shang took a deep breath and said:
"Alright!"
He stood there, waiting until Feng Mu got into the car and the vehicle drove away and out of sight before slowly retracting his gaze, turning to walk into Jade Garden.
And just as his left foot stepped into Jade Garden.
"Boom!!!"
The sudden and violent explosion sound suddenly echoed from inside Jade Garden...
......
In these two days, Liu Yi and Song Ping’an frequently went in and out of Jade Garden, of course, not always using the main entrance.
Jade Garden was too vast, sprawling across a wide area, with villas shaded by trees and winding paths that easily concealed.
Even more "wondrous" was the extreme privacy protection that resulted in a lack of surveillance.
Previously, there were responsible security and property management occasionally wandering around the community, but in these past few days, the security internally vanished like bubbles, and property management temporarily paralyzed.
Nonsense, so many people suddenly died in the community, which property would dare to work?
Increase pay?
Even with more pay, they wouldn’t come!
Actually, lacking security isn’t a big deal, after all, there are constables from the Patrol Office searching for clues and inspecting the site all around, their presence is a deterrent in itself, and the safety should be greatly increased...right.
Logically, near the site of a recent crime, a second crime scene wouldn’t appear in a short time, criminals would avoid this place.
Thus, the Patrol Office currently focuses most of its efforts on citywide search and control, somewhat neglecting the protection of the original crime scene.
As for whether they could rescue the special commissioner, it wasn’t certain, but the ostentatious display was definitely necessary, even more important than whether they could ultimately rescue the commissioner.
Additionally, the explosion in Jade Garden couldn’t entirely blame the Patrol Office for negligence, it was a case of blindness under a lantern.
After all, who could anticipate that someone would dare to set off fireworks in Jade Garden at such a sensitive time?
Time slightly rolled back 15 minutes.
Inside the target villa, stacked construction materials nicely covered the windows, blocking out the light from outside.
Inside, only two weak beams from flashlights moved in the dark, resembling the pupils of nocturnal animals.
