Chapter 880 897: Beauty Assassinated
Luckily, Earth Wolf reacted in time. Just as the gun was fired, Earth Wolf suddenly lunged forward, pushing Qi Manlin aside. The incident was sudden, and the bullet hit Earth Wolf's arm. With the sound of the shot, the crowd watching fell into complete chaos, and the criminal fired a few more shots before fleeing in the confusion.After hanging up the phone, Lin Mu immediately drove to the scene of the incident. However, he was stopped by the police at the neighborhood gate, where a cordon had already been set up, and a group of police were guarding the entrance!
"I'm looking for your Director Qi!" Lin Mu said as he opened the car door and got out.
An old captain under Qi Manlin who recognized Lin Mu came over and greeted him, "Boss Lin, Director Qi is inside, go ahead!"
Lin Mu walked in and soon saw Earth Wolf's hefty figure smoking under the corridor, his arm stained red. Qi Manlin initially wanted Earth Wolf to go to the hospital for bandaging, but Earth Wolf grinned and said he was fine.
Although police force had been dispatched at that moment, Earth Wolf's responsibility was to protect Qi Manlin, so naturally, Earth Wolf had no reason not to guard her! If he went to the hospital just for a little injury, then Earth Wolf in the North African Grassland would probably have to go to the hospital every day.
"Earth Wolf, are you okay?" Lin Mu stepped forward and asked.
Earth Wolf grinned, "I'm fine, boss, just a little scratch!"
Lin Mu patted Earth Wolf's shoulder, "That's good!"
Beside the corpse, several forensic doctors were examining it, while Qi Manlin stood to the side, looking somewhat serious!
"Wild Girl, are you okay?" Lin Mu walked over and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Qi Manlin shook her head.
"What's the situation?" Lin Mu asked.
Qi Manlin pondered for a moment before saying, "We've been tricked. This was all a setup. They deliberately created a major case to lure me out of the police bureau, then attempted to kill me amidst the chaos. Fortunately, Earth Wolf was there; otherwise, I would have..."
Lin Mu nodded and pondered for a moment, realizing that the Tsar's people were not just those two individuals.
"Don't worry, sis, I'll get to the bottom of this and won't let them harm you!" Lin Mu said. He indeed couldn't let Qi Manlin get hurt again; after being assassinated by strangers last night and again today, even Qi Manlin's strong tolerance might feel fear now.
"I'm not too concerned, it's just a pity for these innocent lives!" Qi Manlin sighed, glancing at the corpse lying on the ground.
"Director Qi, initial judgment is that the deceased was strangled and then pushed down the stairs!" The forensic doctor reported to Qi Manlin after checking for a while.
Qi Manlin nodded, "Understood, take the body away!"
After clearing the scene, Qi Manlin led the team back to the police bureau. This case had caused quite a stir, and although city leaders had restricted media coverage, news travels fast, and a murder case added significant pressure on the city government.
To ease pressure, city leadership needed to solve the case quickly to give the public a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, under pressure from social opinion, especially powerful online media, the impact on Wancheng would be even greater!
So Qi Manlin returned to the police bureau, and city government leaders immediately convened a meeting. At the meeting, as the director of Wancheng City Public Security Bureau, Qi Manlin expressed a commitment to solving the case as quickly as possible. Through Lin Mu's connections, Qi Manlin had already identified the murderers as the Tsar Group, and the deceased was just a scapegoat. Finding the murderers wouldn't be difficult, but the hard part was how to apprehend them!
The perpetrators were obviously assassins sent by the Tsar Group, and catching them wasn't going to be an easy task. To capture them, Qi Manlin needed Lin Mu's help, and even if she didn't seek Lin Mu's assistance, Lin Mu had to drag out the people from the Tsar Group too, as he was more concerned about a few girls' safety.
While Qi Manlin attended the city leadership meeting, Lin Mu also began to take action. Lin Mu realized he had to take the initiative; simply waiting defensively for the opposing side to strike was not feasible. The best defense is offense, and if he kept waiting for the other side to strike first, the situation would become passive.
Lin Mu had to become proactive, refusing to let the Tsar Group lead him by the nose. If the opponents didn't attack, then he would have to find them. So, Lin Mu made a call to Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf; Gray Wolf and Golden Wolf had just arrived in Wancheng, and they were unfamiliar faces, making them ideal for the investigation.
When Lin Mu called Gray Wolf, this bastard was still squeezing milk on a woman's belly.
"Boss, what do you need from me?" Gray Wolf chuckled lewdly on the phone.
"Damn it, squeezing milk again, huh?" Lin Mu cursed with a laugh.
"Yeah, it's idle otherwise. You said to practice diligently, or else I'll regress!"
"Come on, I meant real skills, not bedroom skills!"
"Ahem, isn't practicing the same wherever? It's more comfortable on a bed..." Gray Wolf chuckled lewdly on the phone.
"Quit babbling, I have a task for you!"
"Boss, just tell me what's up!" Gray Wolf said.
"Pull out the group of people from the Tsar Group who infiltrated Wancheng. They've already appeared today, and they've shifted their target to my woman, so we can't wait for them to take action first. We need to actively seek them out!" Lin Mu said over the phone.
"Damn... Wancheng is so big, just those few red-haired bastards, how do I find them?" Gray Wolf ranted.
"You're a fresh face in Wancheng, and you usually have the most cunning ideas. You have many shady friends in the underground world. No matter what methods you use, pull them out. No need for you to act personally, understand?" Lin Mu instructed.
"Alright, alright, got it, I'll handle it!" Gray Wolf nodded and said.
Though Gray Wolf usually had a lewd and unserious demeanor, his ability to complete tasks was quite formidable. In the underground world, he had numerous shady friends, earning him the title of Informant of the Underworld!
The reason Gray Wolf was known as the Informant of the Underworld was because in Huaxia, and even abroad, he had numerous shady friends, rarely well-known figures, yet these friends were everywhere, allowing Gray Wolf to receive plenty of information that even Lin Mu couldn't access.
After hanging up the phone, Gray Wolf took out his phone and started calling his shady friends. Though they weren't necessarily good people, they valued underworld morality, and like Gray Wolf, many had a peculiar hobby of squeezing milk on women's bellies, which was why they kept company with someone like Gray Wolf.
After several phone calls, Gray Wolf briefly explained the situation and, before ending each call, offered a bit of tempting reward: if the tasks were completed, he would introduce them to a few girls.
After a string of calls lasting over an hour, it's evident how many shady friends Gray Wolf had. Just imagine how terrifying the amount of information could be!
