"General, have you found anything?" Zhu Yunshen came to Fu Zongchen’s office to inquire. Ren Cangsong let out a long sigh: "No clues at all, everyone seems to have no problems."
Zhu Yunshen hesitated: "The chairman instructed that we must release them by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"I know." Ren Cangsong massaged his temples, having never before felt such a thorny issue.
They could hardly find any clues, weapons, bullet trajectories, suspects, not even a single path to follow.
Zhu Yunshen hesitated for a moment before speaking about his findings from the afternoon.
"They told you the same thing they told me, about changing the bullet’s trajectory, and even claimed that making a bullet pass through barriers is not without possibility." Ren Cangsong responded helplessly: "But such people are extremely rare, even the Yitelan Civilization doesn’t have many."
"That’s right, there’s something else," Zhu Yunshen added: "Li Ming’s father used to be a member of the ’Owl Dragon,’ an assassination organization under Han Ce of the Secret Council."
"And Fu Zongchen had a squad named ’Ash,’ which is eliminating ’Owl Dragon.’ His father was killed by Ash."
Hmm? Ren Cangsong suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp: "Why didn’t you say so earlier!"
Zhu Yunshen gave a wry smile of helplessness: "You can’t seriously suspect Li Ming, can you?"
"He definitely wasn’t the one who acted," Ren Cangsong shook his head: "Maybe he provided some help."
"The commanding officer of ’Ash’ is already dead, trying to save Li Ming." Zhu Yunshen recalled this fact, still finding it absurd.
Ren Cangsong hadn’t expected so many complications, and after carefully considering, he frowned slightly: "Wang Yan was probably killed by Li Ming."
"Correct, but Fu Zongchen has accepted this conclusion, and there’s no starting point for the body." Zhu Yunshen nodded in agreement: "Theoretically, it’s like getting revenge."
"That ’Owl Dragon’..." Ren Cangsong asked again.
"It’s unlikely to be them, they’ve been hunted for five to six years, and it’s not like they haven’t organized counterattacks, with heavy casualties," denied Zhu Yunshen, shaking his head.
"Another dead end?" Ren Cangsong felt inexplicably irritable.
Whoever had killed Fu Zongchen might now be watching their frantic efforts and laughing maniacally.
"You don’t need to worry, the other party’s target was only Fu Zongchen." Zhu Yunshen comforted him. Ren Cangsong cursed quietly and passed a cigar from the table.
"Try this, it was left by Li Ming."
Zhu Yunshen frowned briefly but accepted it amiably, lit it up, blew a ring of smoke, and looked around the office with a bit of a sigh:
"I never expected Fu Zongchen to die so suddenly, I still feel surreal."
"Have you searched this room?" Zhu Yunshen asked.
"Not yet, it’s not the time to be concerned about that, no matter how much Fu Zongchen left behind, it’s irrelevant to us," Ren Cangsong cautioned.
"I understand." Zhu Yunshen nodded, his gaze falling on the armored chamber on the wall side, "But what about this thing?"
Seeing the armored chamber also gave Ren Cangsong a headache, "We can only send it back, I wonder how Prince Bai Jiang will react when he learns about this."
"It’s a pity, grand ambitions, all for naught," Zhu Yunshen walked up to the armored chamber.
He placed his hand on the side of the armored chamber, feeling emotional. A few hours ago, Fu Zongchen had just been appointed as a committee member and received a congratulatory gift from Prince Bai Jiang, what glory it was,
but that bullet ended everything. As one of the witnesses, Zhu Yunshen still felt the shock.
However, before his feelings subsided, he sensed something unusual, his expression tensed, he examined the armored chamber up and down, wondering why the sound and touch felt wrong.
Not just him, Ren Cangsong also noticed this anomaly. The two exchanged looks, both having an ominous premonition.
Zhu Yunshen tried patting and even shaking it again, and with a "clang," something fell out.
Zhu Yunshen picked up a piece of metal from the ground, his expression growing more solemn, Ren Cangsong turned the armored chamber around, his face suddenly changing.
There was a small dark hole on it.
Ren Cangsong, already sensing something, clawed at the hole, and with a forceful tug, accompanied by a grating noise, the entire metal armored chamber was torn open from the center,
but inside, it was utterly empty.
"Where is the item!?" Zhu Yunshen was shocked, feeling his scalp go numb, as if something was lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce, enveloping him in a chill.
Ren Cangsong’s face turned ashen, he quickly recalled that everyone had been in the room that afternoon.
Only Li Ming had been alone... but he had nothing on him, no way to hide such a large armored chamber.
"The time before I arrived is a complete blank, anyone could have had the opportunity." Ren Cangsong’s cheek twitched, this was a blatant provocation.
The man was killed, and the armor taken away, as if they were nothing.
As if Blue Star was nothing!
"After the armored chamber was displayed, everyone was in the hall, they didn’t go anywhere, except for a few staff members." Zhu Yunshen quickly added the relevant information:
"This is a high-end villa area, the outside surveillance doesn’t have any blind spots, we’ll know who has come and gone here with a simple check." Zhu Yunshen quickly came to his senses.
"Get everyone together, check everything they have one by one!" Ren Cangsong suppressed his anger.
"But..." Zhu Yunshen hesitated, as doing so might offend people too much.
When Fu Zongchen first died, in the urgency of the situation, it was justifiable to stop everyone, they could understand, but now...
"Whatever happens, I will bear the consequences!" Ren Cangsong said sternly.
That’s easy to say, but they definitely wouldn’t dare vent their anger on you, it’s going to be my problem.
Zhu Yunshen felt helpless, but under these circumstances, he dared not argue further and hurried out.
