Chapter 137 The Investigation Team Suffers a Setback

At dawn, six or seven cars from the investigation team were speeding towards Tianhong Port.

Inside one of the middle vehicles, Zhou Xian held his phone, frowning as he said, "Don't worry about the anti-terrorism squad or the coast guard. The investigation team is under the jurisdiction of the Great District Council. The main goal is to close the case as soon as possible. Don't consider local sentiments. If anyone resists or obstructs, deploy troops to suppress them directly!! Arrest the ringleaders first!"

"Understood!"

"Now, give me strict control over the Tianhong Port area." Zhou Xian added, "Our actions are loud, and the other side must have heard the news, but they definitely don't know what they leaked. The arrested suspect also said that they have a lot of hidden personnel in the area, so it will be very difficult to transfer them. As long as we keep an eye on Tianhong Port tonight, we will definitely gain something!"

"Okay, I will notify the garrison to send more people to seal off Tianhong Port!! Block all the landing points for ships along the coast."

"Yes, that's right!"

After the two finished communicating, Zhou Xian hung up the phone, crossed his legs, and said, "Ding Huang's ability is beyond doubt, but this kind of person considers too much. He was restricted everywhere in Dragon City before, largely because he was too worried, afraid of having no effect, and afraid of pushing the other side too hard. Dealing with the situation here requires decisive action...!"

"Dring dring!"

While Zhou Xian was lecturing the people in the car, his phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Deputy Team Leader, something happened on my side! There was a shooting on Long Bridge, which leads from Tianhong Port to Zhanan. I took people there, and we found a burned-out car at the scene. A small amount of blood was found on the bridge railing. We haven't found a body yet, but we believe that if someone died, they were probably thrown into the water." The investigator on the phone said quickly.

"What???!"

Zhou Xian's head buzzed when he heard this.

...

An hour and a half later.

Seven or eight customs ships that came out of the port searched downstream along Long Bridge for less than five kilometers and found Ah Shui's body.

The salvage team quickly pulled Ah Shui out and continued searching along the way.

After a while, Zhou Xian stood by Long Bridge, reached out and lifted the white cloth covering Ah Shui's body, and waved his hand, shouting, "Bring the suspect down!"

The arrested suspect was led over under the control of four people. He stared blankly at Ah Shui's body, and his emotions suddenly collapsed.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Brother Shui... I really couldn't hold on...!" The young man looked at Ah Shui's body, his body slumped, and tears streamed down his face.

No one is an animal. Everyone has feelings. It is a fact that the young man sold out Ah Shui, but he really couldn't withstand the investigation team's questioning.

Perhaps if Little Hu was given another chance, he would eventually break down and betray Ah Shui's information, but undeniably, he regretted it at this moment.

People are such contradictory individuals. Many things cannot be judged by right or wrong.

Zhou Xian looked at the suspect's reaction, his mentality exploded. He put his hands on his hips and scolded, "Dragon City has rotted to the core!! It's too rotten!! We're blocking the news like this, but the other side still identified Ah Shui as the one who was exposed in the first place!! If you say there's no mole, no one will believe it!!"

With Ah Shui's death, all of Zhou Xian's plans for tonight completely failed. The clues were broken, and the suspect in his hand couldn't bite anyone else. The investigation team ran into a wall as soon as they arrived in Dragon City.

At more than two o'clock in the morning, the blockades in various districts of the city ended, and the combat regiment transferred from the military headquarters quickly left the city.

Logically speaking, the military headquarters was so helpful and cooperative tonight, and even transferred more than a thousand people to help with the arrest. They should at least be credited for their hard work, and the investigation team should have gone to express their gratitude to Tan Hengqiang.

But Zhou Xian did not do so, and the higher-ups of the investigation team did not go to the military corps. There was zero communication and zero exchange between the leaders of both sides.

This silent and abnormal attitude was almost openly expressing dissatisfaction. The investigation team unanimously believed that there was a major mole in the military corps.

That night.

The Great District Council received a detailed report of the arrest. The upper-level leaders were both shocked and angry. They previously thought that the investigation team was going to Dragon City with an imperial sword, and no matter what, the local authorities should tuck their tails between their legs and pretend to be sincerely taking a beating.

But the upper-level leaders never expected that as soon as the investigation team arrived, while still holding important evidence, the other side would strike first and kill the suspect within a day.

Who the hell could tolerate this?

The department of the Great District Council responsible for the investigation team decided that night to send four more councilors to Dragon City to give the military the most direct pressure.

...

At more than three o'clock in the morning.

Yu Mingyuan, Kong Zhenghui, and Zhou Tonghui were sitting in the backyard of the Yu family's villa, drinking silently.

After a while, Da Bai came, but he didn't greet the three of them. He just moved a chair and sat on the outermost edge of the group.

"Da Bai...!" Kong Zhenghui looked up, his face flushed. "This matter...!"

"Don't talk to me about it!" Da Bai's face was cold, and he waved his hand directly. "Don't say a word!! This is not a matter of explanation!"

Kong Zhenghui glanced at Da Bai and drank the wine in his glass.

After another while, Su Tianbei, Hou Guoyu, and Lao Hei entered the courtyard. They also did not have any conversation with Yu Mingyuan. Even Er Ge, who was usually the most explosive, did not show any excessive emotions.

A group of people sat in the courtyard waiting, the atmosphere was oppressive, and it was very quiet.

"Tat tat!"

At some point, hurried footsteps sounded on the side of the villa, and a figure ran over.

"Wait a minute!!" Someone shouted from behind.

Everyone looked up and saw Lao Fei rushing towards them like a madman with red eyes.

Da Bai, Su Tianbei, and others looked at him without moving.

Yu Mingyuan stood up!

"Fuck your mother!!!"

Fei Pingsheng rushed over, picked up a plastic stool, and smashed it at Kong Zhenghui's head. "I'll kill you!!"

"Bang!"

Kong Zhenghui didn't dodge and took the stool head-on.

Seeing this, Yu Mingyuan immediately stood in front of Fei Pingsheng, reached out and pushed him, shouting, "Don't go after him. He doesn't have the decision-making power. I agreed to it...!"

"Bang!"

Fei Pingsheng punched Yu Mingyuan in the face. "Then I'll kill you!!"

"Thump!"

Fei Pingsheng pounced on Yu Mingyuan, his eyes red, and punched him in the face again and again!

Yu Mingyuan didn't fight back or resist, letting the other party vent his anger on him.

"Enough!!"

Zhou Tonghui stood up and shouted, "Is it over?! If we don't do this, we're all done for!"

Fei Pingsheng ignored him and continued to beat Yu Mingyuan's face.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Tonghui took out his gun and pointed it directly at Fei Pingsheng's head, shouting, "What are you trying to do?! Don't force me!"

"Whoosh!"

Hou Guoyu, Lao Hei, and Su Tianbei all stood up, took out their guns without hesitation, and pointed them directly at Zhou Tonghui, shouting, "What the hell are you trying to do?! Huh?!"

Da Bai looked at the scene in front of him, stood up and pushed Zhou Tonghui away. "When did you become like this?? Killing your own people?? Huh?"
