Chapter 777: Chapter 776: Knowing the Murderer_1 Chapter 777: Chapter 776: Knowing the Murderer_1 Huo Beijiang’s hand tightened until it turned pale from the force, even subtly squeaking. He had to hold himself back with everything he had to keep from breaking down.
Even when he had to accept his parents’ divorce and Yuan Xueshan’s irrationality, he genuinely respected and cared for her. After all, this was his mother, his biological mother. Otherwise, when Huo Linong and Yuan Xueshan divorced, he wouldn’t have left everything behind, giving all his property to her.
Though they were not in Qi Li Town, they kept a close watch on it. Knowing that Yuan Xueshan was doing well gave them peace of mind.
Was this supposed to be doing well?
Huo Beijiang clutched the lightweight white cloth and closed his eyes for a moment. In a soft voice, he said, “I will avenge you.” Then, he slowly lowered the cloth, blocking everyone else’s view.
“Bei Jiang!” Ying Jiuming hung his head in remorse.
“Tell me what clues you’ve found so far.” Then, his tall body stumbled a bit. If Ning Di hadn’t been quick enough to support him, he would have fallen.
Ying Jiuming rapidly recited the events and the modus operandi of the crime, and the records from the crime scene.
He had already developed a hunch on the way there.
“Huh?” asked a bewildered Ying Jiuming, “What do you know?”
“I know who the murderer is!” He waved his hand wearily. “You can stop investigating and withdraw the local personnel.”
Before Ying Jiuming could finish, Huo Beijiang snapped impatiently, his voice awash with bone-chilling coldness. “Head to the Qi Li Middle School’s sports field. If you hurry, you should be able to catch the murderer.”
Ning Di added, “Our helicopter landed at the school’s sports field. Principal Huo is still inside it.”
Instantly, Ying Jiuming caught on. This was a targeted act of revenge. Now that Yuan Xueshan was dead, Huo Linong was probably next.
“Move! Follow me!” he shouted, pulling out his gun and racing off.
The police detectives reacted quickly, following immediately.
Only Huo Beijiang remained still.
“Commander, let’s follow them too! Principal Huo may be in danger.”
“Haha!” Huo Beijiang’s lips curled coldly. Yuan Xueshan’s death had left a fissure in his relationship with his father, Huo Linong. “He won’t die.” After being captured and held for so long without dying, he wouldn’t die so easily.
He had asked before, but Huo Linong always denied it. Now that his actions had led to his mother’s death, he couldn’t deny it anymore!
“You go instead! Ensure Little Deer’s safety.”
“You don’t have to worry about Little Deer’s capability, better I stay!” Ning Di was now more concerned about their commanding officer’s state. His emotional barrier could collapse at any moment. Anyone would struggle to cope with the loss of a third close family member within a year.
Back on the sports field at Qi Li Middle School, a thrilling standoff was unfolding.
A Rong and Lu Jin were locked in a fierce battle, blows drawn blood from each. Lu Jin might look like a cute boy normally, but once he started fighting desperately, he displayed a lethal streak, making him a match for A Rong.
“Damn!” A Rong cursed bitterly. He’d never thought, after all his years on the streets, he’d be bested by a greenhorn kid.
They’d already escaped, but when Leng Peixi saw the incoming helicopter, she insisted on going over.
She was just sending herself to her death.
He hoped the person coming to pick them up would hurry. Otherwise, he’d lose his life here today, leaving a stain on his name.
Death wasn’t the worst part; the disgrace was.
