Chapter 904 Lan Song Dies 5
He hesitated for a moment, and Xing Ye looked over at He Teng, who continued the conversation, "Before Niu Rang’s incident, our troops had received a call from a woman claiming to be Niu Rang’s fiancée looking for him. Half a day later, Niu Rang was found shot in the chest in an alley and thus sacrificed his life. We checked with Niu Rang’s fiancée, and the call wasn’t made by her, so that call could only have been to confirm Niu Rang’s undercover identity."
"Based on the understanding of our troop, Gu En is definitely the prime suspect with the capability," Xing Ye’s eyes went cold as he spoke, "So, Lan Li, we also have a reason to suspect that you are one of the informants, therefore, until this matter is settled, you’re listed as one of the key suspects for close surveillance and investigation."
The situation took a harsh turn; not only Gu En was listed as a suspect, but Lan Li was also under major investigation.
Hearing this, Lan Song’s parents laughed openly in front of everyone, cursing Lan Li with words like ’retribution!’ and ’serves you right!’
Xing Ye quickly suspended Lan Li’s powers in S Province, including all the personnel Lan Li had brought from the capital, who were listed as subjects to be screened. Their first task was to investigate whether the shot taken by Lan Li’s team was indeed, as the young soldier had claimed, an excessive measure in the urgency to secure the hostage’s safety, or if it was out of self-interest resulting in Lan Song’s death.
Following Lan Song’s parents’ statements, the police summoned Brother Pin again, and sure enough, during this interrogation, Brother Pin directly identified a woman who was with Lan Song as the shooter. The police produced several photographs of women for Brother Pin to identify the shooter, and he immediately picked out Gu En’s photo from the bunch.
When He Zhilan heard this news and learned that Xing Ye was preparing to take Gu En into custody, she felt an inexplicable worry, as if she had overlooked some important detail.
