Inquiry into Responsibility
Chapter 67 Inquiry into Responsibility
Five minutes later.
Amidst the shocked gazes of diners and shop owners on the street.
A group of warriors dressed in combat uniforms poured into the restaurant.
Liu Mengyao immediately pointed to the private room next to her.
The group of martial artists rushed into the private room.
Then they saw Xu Feng sitting in a pool of blood.
Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at the team members around him and said to Xu Feng, "Old Xu, are you alright? How could you act on your own!"
"It was agreed that we would be in charge of the arrest!"
Xu Feng smiled slightly: "They can't wait any longer. They're going to attack me first. I have no choice but to defend myself."
"Hey, you're so reckless! What if something happens?"
"Hey guys, check the scene. Old Xu, you come with me."
With just a few words, Luo Feng identified Xu Feng as his informant and led him out.
The remaining patrol members exchanged surprised glances and whispered:
"When did Captain Luo get such a powerful informant?"
"One kill against four? And at such close range? That's impressive!"
On the street outside the house.
Xu Feng glanced at the gazes of passersby outside the police cordon and followed Luo Feng to a deserted backstreet.
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations on Mr. Luo's promotion."
Luo Feng smiled upon hearing this: "After becoming a member of the Sirius Squad, I continued to stay in the patrol team when I had nothing to do."
"The higher-ups gave our team leader face, that's why they promoted me one rank."
After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Feng finally asked, "What exactly happened?"
Xu Feng briefly explained the whole story, and Luo Feng frowned: "Although I said that earlier, even if someone is an informant, they are still responsible for killing someone within the base area."
Xu Feng nodded: "I'm willing to take responsibility."
"These people deserve to die, but well, this is a bit tricky."
Don't go too far recently. There might be related inquiries later. I suggest you seek advice from Senior Sister Lu.
Xu Feng nodded: "Okay, can I go now?"
"Yes, of course. I'll tell Liu Mengyao what to say." Luo Feng patted his shoulder.
"I owe you a favor for this," Xu Feng said earnestly.
"Mr. Xu, you're being too polite. I always thought we could become friends."
Luo Feng smiled.
"From now on, that's it." Xu Feng smiled as well.
After a while.
Luo Feng smiled and walked up to Liu Mengyao to confirm, "Miss Liu, is that right? Hello, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
As Xu Feng walked back, the bloodstains on his body attracted the attention of many people.
Xu Feng's cold expression, in particular, sent chills down one's spine.
Many neighbors who originally wanted to say hello kept quiet when they saw this scene.
After returning home.
Xu Feng did not rush to call Lu Fei.
Because Lu Fei mentioned yesterday that there would be a task to go out and collect samples today.
After quickly washing up and changing his clothes, he calmly wrote a message about what happened that afternoon and sent it to Lu Fei.
Then, as usual, he prepared to set up his stall and pick up his child.
I waited until the next morning.
Xu Feng finally received an inquiry from the patrol team.
After seeing Xiao Dan off in the morning, Xu Feng returned home and soon heard a commotion outside the door.
When I went outside, I saw several patrol officers standing in front of Huang Sen's house.
Xu Feng headed straight for Huang Sen's house, where he was stopped by two patrol officers: "It's you! You're Captain Luo's informant."
Xu Feng nodded and was about to ask what had happened.
"Old Xu!"
Just then, Luo Feng appeared at the street corner.
He said to his two colleagues, "We're on the same side, leave it to me."
The two team members then stepped back.
"What's wrong with Huang Sen?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.
I thought to myself, shouldn't this inquiry be directed at me?
Why did you go and ask Huang Sen?
Luo Feng knew Xu Feng was anxious, so he didn't keep him in suspense: "Wang Zhen, one of the deceased, was Huang Sen's colleague."
We learned this from the chat logs on the communicators of several people.
They targeted Huang Sen and you because of your previous sale of Ice Horn Beast meat.
"After learning that you were the mastermind, I harbored malicious intentions."
"Oh, is that why?" Xu Feng nodded, then glanced around the room. "Huang Sen has nothing to do with this, right?"
"No, we came to inquire about his colleague."
Luo Feng smiled and shook his head.
"What about the inquiry?" Xu Feng asked again.
"Oh right, an agent from the Armed Police Investigation Bureau will be asking about this today, but don't worry, I'll be there with them."
Luo Feng said in a low voice.
"Okay." Xu Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Ten minutes later.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Li Xu, an agent from the Armed Police Investigation Bureau. I am here today to question you about yesterday's events. Please cooperate with our work."
Outside, a young man in a jacket took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Feng.
Hsu Feng politely declined, saying, "Hello, I don't smoke."
Li Xu nodded, put away his cigarette, and looked at Luo Feng beside him: "Captain Luo, may I begin?"
Luo Feng glanced at Xu Feng, and seeing him nod, he said, "Let's begin."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, according to our investigation, one of the deceased was Wang Zhen."
Li Xu asked Xu Feng a few questions in a businesslike manner.
Hsu Feng answered truthfully to each and every one of them.
However, after asking a few questions about the crime scene, Li Xu suddenly changed the subject:
"So, you decided to handle this kidnapping case involving you alone, under Captain Luo's private instructions?"
Hearing his sudden question, Xu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then decisively shook his head: "Captain Luo only asked me to pay attention to this matter in private, and did not instruct me to do anything."
Liu Mengyao called me immediately because she was nervous and scared.
In my anxiety, I wanted to ascertain the truth of the matter, so I rushed to the scene alone.
As for why the conflict occurred, it was because they discovered me eavesdropping outside the door.
In order not to harm the people around me, I voluntarily went into the private room.
You all know what happened next.
Upon hearing Xu Feng's reply, Li Xu smiled slightly: "Then Mr. Xu should understand that murder is illegal, right? I saw the scene."
All four of them were killed with a single blow; they had no power to resist you.
With your strength, you could easily cripple them instead of killing them.
But you killed everyone.
Mr. Xu, I find it hard not to suspect that you committed murder out of spite because it involved your daughter.
Xu Feng fell silent.
Luo Feng's expression changed slightly, and he was about to speak up to help.
The result came at this moment.
A figure in full combat gear made the patrol members waiting on the street stand up straight, their faces showing respect.
"Senior Sister Lu!"
"Team Leader Lu!"
"Hello, Senior Sister Lu!"
Li Xu glanced at the newcomer, his eyelids twitching slightly.
Luo Feng's expression suddenly softened, and he smiled and clasped his hands in greeting to the newcomer, saying, "Senior Sister is back."
As for Hsu Feng?
He turned to look at the figure striding towards him and finally relaxed completely.
