Chapter 288 The Mastermind



"My Lord City Lord, I didn't expect this case to alarm you!"

When Wu Xu arrived at the police station, the sheriff was very nervous and sweat broke out on his forehead.

This case involves so many people that it can be said to be the most influential case in all his years of career.

To put it bluntly, it was beyond his ability to handle.

In terms of his authority, he does have the right to handle cases, but the law is the law, and reality is reality. He is not at work 24 hours a day. There always has to be a time for him to take off his uniform and return to being an ordinary person.

So when he took on this case, he felt overwhelmed. Every deceased person involved had a huge background, and most of them were people he needed to look up to!

Now, even the city lord Wu Xu has been alarmed, and his presence here has brought him even greater pressure.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the city lord cannot be unaware of such a serious case, nor can he not pay attention to it. However, the fact that he rushed over at the first opportunity is a completely different matter.

Now the sheriff only hopes that this case can be taken away from him, and he would rather be demoted.

The city lord Wu Xu is a man who is not too tall and burly, about 1.7 meters tall, but he was born with a very majestic face, especially when he frowned, he released a huge pressure, which made people feel short of breath and in awe.

"Um."

Wu Xu nodded gently as a greeting, then said, "This case has a huge impact. Chief Liao, you can't afford to make any mistakes. You must bring the criminals to justice no matter what!"

Hearing this, Liao Ming couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, Lord City Lord, I will definitely use 100% of my strength to handle this case!"

After a pause, Liao Ming swallowed and said, "Well, Lord City Lord, as you just said, this case has a huge impact, and too many forces have infiltrated. I am just a small police chief, and my ability is limited. How about you report this case to the higher authorities for handling?"

"What are you talking about!"

Wu Xu immediately frowned and scolded, "This case happened in Longcheng. You are the police chief of Longcheng. How can you shirk your responsibility? This is your unshirkable obligation!"

When Liao Ming heard this, his expression turned bitter, but he could also see that Wu Xu was angry. He had a lot of pain in his heart, but he didn't dare to express it anymore, so he could only nod sullenly.

Having said that, Wu Xu changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, as the lord of a city, I won't let other forces affect you. Just let go and deal with it. Leave the rest to me."

When Liao Ming heard Wu Xu's words, his eyes suddenly brightened and he felt much more at ease.

Wu Xu then continued, "I have only one request, and that is to find the true mastermind and not let the criminal go unpunished. Can you do that?"

Liao Ming stood at attention and shouted loudly: "I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Wu Xu then revealed a faint smile and continued, "Take me to meet the owner of that hunting ground. I want to see why he does this!"

This was naturally not in line with the rules, but Liao Ming didn't dare to refuse at this time. He agreed without thinking. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Wu Xu was the lord of Longcheng, no different from a local emperor. It was natural for him to do everything.

It was because Wu Xu was willing to give him face that he greeted him.

Soon, Wu Xu saw Fang Tu. The two exchanged glances quickly, and then Wu Xu gave a look to Liao Ming next to him. Liao Ming immediately understood and took his leave. Before leaving, he even closed the door.

This is a pure white monitoring room. There is nothing in it except a table and a chair, not even a monitoring system.

As a suspect, Fang Tu had his hands handcuffed to a chair. After seeing Wu Xu, there was no surprise on his face because he knew that Wu Xu would definitely come to see him.

After meeting Wu Xu, he also knew that he would be able to get out soon.

Bang!

After Wu Xu came over, he slapped Fang Tu in the face without saying a word, and then stared at him coldly.

Fang Tu was not surprised at all when he was slapped. He just shrugged and said, "If you think beating me can solve the problem, then keep beating me until you kill me."

Wu Xu didn't continue his attack. Instead, he grabbed his collar and said through gritted teeth, "What did you promise me back then? You said this plan was flawless and would definitely catch all those powerful people in one fell swoop! But you let more than a dozen of them go, including an important figure like Xiao Caiyin!!"

If a third person heard these words, they would definitely be shocked. It turned out that the massacre in the hunting ground was planned by Wu Xu!

Fang Tu was silent for a moment, then said irritably, "Don't blame me for this. My arrangements were indeed flawless. As long as these powerful people entered the hunting grounds, they would have no choice but to die. Unfortunately, this time Su Chen showed up. He's a warrior at the Heavenly Man Realm. He not only defeated the Savages, but also killed my elite assassin group!"

"Su Chen?"

This was the second time Wu Xu heard this name recently. The last time was two days ago when his son Wu Jianye mentioned this name in front of him, saying that he was bullied by Su Chen and asked him to kill Su Chen.

At that time, Wu Xu didn't take it too seriously. It's not that he didn't love Wu Jianye and didn't want to help his son get revenge, but he was planning this matter at that time and he didn't have the mind to do it.
