Chapter 17 Tumult

At this moment, the cameras in the hands of many reporters captured the scene before them: the deaths of Li and Guo were quickly witnessed by the people of the entire Nan City.

Nan City was like a calm lake that had been hit by a huge explosive, setting off滔天大浪 (tao tian da lang - huge waves).

In peaceful times, the murder of two councilors would have been a sky-shattering event.

Even in the current situation, it was still like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the entire Nan City could not remain calm.

Thirty minutes after the incident, Wang Dongchuan, the deputy speaker of the council, received the news and rushed to the hospital.

In the cold morgue, he saw the incomplete remains of Li and Guo.

"Has the identity of the attacker been found?" Wang Dongchuan's calm voice contained a hint of anger. He held his hands tightly behind his back, and there were hideous veins on the back of his hands.

"According to the wound locations on Councilors Li and Guo, the military police department judged the firing points of the bullets, but unfortunately... we determined that the surveillance in the surrounding area of the attacker's location went completely out of order ten minutes before the attack occurred," a secretary stood beside Wang Dongchuan and whispered.

"All of them?" Wang Dongchuan's voice was a little surprised.

"Yes," the secretary said helplessly, "I asked the technical department, and even our official professional hackers need a long time to prepare to simultaneously invade so many monitoring cores, and several people need to work at the same time... so I guess the person who killed Councilors Guo and Li may belong to a gang."

The expression on Wang Dongchuan's face was very complicated, with a hint of anger, helplessness, and finally turned into indifference and calmness.

He had put in a lot of effort and violated his original intention when he entered politics to protect Li and Guo, but he did not expect that they would die here in just a few hours.

The attack and killing of two councilors will surely alarm the provincial political department.

If the people from above simply investigate the cause of death of the two, it would be fine, but if they investigate the truth of the cult case...

"Issue a document to the military police bureau in the name of the council, ordering them to find the real culprit within twenty-four hours!" Wang Dongchuan said in a deep voice.

The only way to prevent the upper echelons from conducting an in-depth investigation in Nan City is to find the real culprit, try, and convict him before the people from above arrive.

Therefore, the task before Wang Dongchuan now is to find the murderer immediately!

"Yes!" The secretary nodded.

Wang Dongchuan suddenly waved his hand again, "Forget it, I'll go to the military police bureau myself."

...

"Li Ting and Guo Xuanjun are dead."

Yuan Zhenghong looked at the sky outside the window with his hands behind his back.

He did not expect that these two people would end their sinful lives in this way.

The attacker killed Li and Guo in public and under the watchful eyes of the public. His intention was obvious: to publicly execute them and let the people of the entire Nan City see their deaths.

Only those with deep hatred would use such cruel means of revenge!

At this moment, Yuan Wen walked in, her face pale and looking very tired.

"Li and Guo are dead," Yuan Zhenghong said calmly, "You don't seem happy?"

"..." A mocking smile appeared on Yuan Wen's face, "Did they die under the judgment of the Law Department? The end of their sins has nothing to do with us! A criminal needs someone else to judge him, which is the greatest humiliation to the military police department!"

Yuan Zhenghong was also silent.

"Li Tianran will not come again, he is completely disappointed in us..." Yuan Wen said, "I came to tell you that if we had re-arrested them and tried them before Li and Guo were killed, then there would still be room for maneuver; now... don't have any more extravagant hopes."

Yuan Zhenghong was silent for a long time. He knew that young people like Li Tianran had a腔热血 (qiang re xue - burst of enthusiasm), but once the enthusiasm cooled down, it would be difficult to reactivate it.

He could never recruit Li Tianran.

"Who do you think is the murderer who attacked Li and Guo?" Yuan Zhenghong changed the subject and asked in a deep voice, "I investigated the family circumstances of those victims. None of their relatives or friends have this ability... I suspect this is not the victims' revenge."

It really doesn't seem like the victims' revenge.

Because, except for the leaders of the cult, almost no one knows that Li and Guo are criminals in the cult case, and the account book is still well preserved and no victim knows the identity of Li and Guo.

"When Li and Guo left the military police bureau before, did Li Tianran have a conversation with them?" Guo Xuanjun asked.

A trace of misery appeared in Yuan Wen's eyes again, "You suspect Li Tianran?"

"His suspicion... is very high." Guo Xuanjun stood up, and a firm and business-like expression reappeared on his face, "Moreover, he killed many people in the cult case, and he is a target to be arrested. You lead the team to bring him here, I have something to ask him."

Bang!

Just as the words fell, there was a sudden explosion in the office.

It turned out that Yuan Wen slammed her gun heavily on the table, in front of Yuan Zhenghong.

Yuan Zhenghong looked at his daughter with shock in his eyes, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"Li Tianran is right... a place that cannot maintain justice, cannot judge real evil, but grasps the faults of some good people, is indeed not worthy of talking about justice." Yuan Wen was expressionless, she took off her epaulettes and badge, and calmly placed them together with her gun: "From now on, I resign from all positions in the Nan City Military Police Bureau, I quit."

Yuan Zhenghong's eyebrows twitched wildly, his face was very heavy, he looked at his daughter, not knowing what to say.

"You have worked hard for so many years just to become a military police officer. You have been in Nan City for so long to have your current achievements and status. Are you really willing to give up all this now?" Yuan Zhenghong's voice was hoarse, and he asked in a deep voice.

"What I want to become is a military police officer who can truly protect the country and its people, not a pitiful bug in the power struggles of some big shots." Yuan Wen's face was pale, and she showed a smile: "I will apply to transfer from the city military police to the frontier military police. I would rather face those ferocious and violent enemies and mutated beasts than stay here and see the maggot-like faces of those politicians!"

Yuan Zhenghong looked at his daughter. He had always thought that his daughter had a gentle personality, but he did not expect that Yuan Wen was actually tougher and more courageous than him.

Faced with injustice and darkness, she would rather give up all her status and comfort!

In this respect, even Yuan Zhenghong is not as good as her!

...

The farm.

Li Tianran dialed Bai Jingyan's phone, his eyes flashing with cold light, and said, "Now, I want you to help me do the second thing..."
