Chapter 169, The Dead
The man's wails echoed throughout the slums, indirectly confirming the truth of Jiang Ran's words.
"The one who died inside was the captain of the Sixth Team?"
"Oh my god, why is the captain of the sixth team here?"
"Was she set up by someone? I heard that the captain was seriously injured on a mission a while ago. Maybe the base disliked her but couldn't just abandon her, so they staged this."
“Nonsense, my eldest nephew saw Shen Shuai visiting her in the sanatorium a few days ago, and she was just injured, not really disabled, what is there to dislike?”
"Then tell me, now that the person is dead, what happened?"
"In my opinion, it might be a competitor who is behind this."
"Rival?"
"Isn't the Sixth Team now in the charge of Commander Shen's people?"
"Then after all you say, isn't it still Shuai Shen who wants her dead?"
Hearing the discussions of the people around her, Luo Rui came back to her senses from her shock and looked at Zhong Qian in astonishment, seeking an answer: "Captain Zhong?"
Zhong Qian nodded and pushed his glasses: "That's why I said that I can't handle this matter today."
Who is Wei Yage? Captain of the base's special power team, a lab veteran who once protected the base and comforted those fighting on the front lines.
She was indeed injured and might not be able to leave her wheelchair, let alone fight like before. But at this moment, the Sixth Team was divided, and they couldn't touch Wei Ya Ge.
Wei Yage's death meant that the entire Sixth Team was ruined - it became a complete pipe dream for the Shen family to recruit members for the Sixth Team.
Zhong Qian rubbed his brows with a headache, feeling that time was passing too slowly.
…
As if it was premeditated, as soon as Shen Lang met the person who reported the news, the news that Wei Yage was murdered in the slums had already swept the entire base.
One step faster than Shen Lang, the members of the sixth team arrived one after another.
A sad sound of ghosts howling.
Si Xu, who had known the whole story for a long time, arrived late. The first thing he did when he arrived at the scene was to look for Jiang Ran.
"I'm here, Si Xu." Avoiding Luo Rui's shocked and hateful gaze, Jiang Ran walked around Zhong Qian and ran to Si Xu's side. "Are you done with your work?"
"No." Si Xu said briefly, "I heard Wei Yage died, so I came to see him."
In other words, he put down his work and came to watch the fun.
Jiang Ran tiptoed to his ear and said, "Si Xu, Wei Ya Ge is dead—it was my plan."
Si Xu tapped her nose: "I know - I'm just curious. You should have come to me for something like moving people here."
She found Qiao Qiao, and the two of them were almost caught by the patrolman Gu Yunqing. Fortunately, Gu Yunqing was quick-witted and sent the patrolman away, so they were not exposed.
"I have to create an alibi for you."
Now that Wei Yage is dead, Shen Lang will definitely think of Si Xu. Maybe with his eloquence, he will eventually shift the suspicion to Si Xu.
Since she had done it, she had to leave Luo Rui and Shen Lang speechless.
"You've been working all day today, and all the staff in the lab can testify to that. If they doubt you, I'll speak up for you."
The little girl protected him all the time. Si Xu's eyes were filled with smiles. He held her hand tightly and whispered, "Okay."
…
After Chen Lang arrived, he first entered the wooden house to take a last look at Wei Yage. He was choked by the smell of blood inside and quickly retreated.
"Where is the killer?" The old man asked Zhong Qian with a gloomy face, tapping the ground with his crutch.
Zhong Qian lowered his head slightly and ordered, "Bring the person here."
Someone dragged Jiang Yu and threw him in front of Shen Lang.
Shen Lang lowered his eyes and looked at the man who was wriggling and struggling like a worm on the ground, pondering in silence.
Shen Yang squatted down, looked at the man carefully, and looked up at Zhong Qian: "Are you sure he killed the man?"
Zhong Qian nodded: "There is an eyewitness, and when I asked him, he admitted it himself."
"That's easy." Shen Yang stood up, kicked the man's shoulder with his toes, and said boringly, "Break his legs and throw him out of the base. Let him fend for himself."
Left to fend for themselves? Actually, it means feeding the zombies.
"No!" As soon as Shen Yang finished speaking, someone from Team 6 stood up to object. "The reason why he killed Captain Wei hasn't been investigated yet. How can he be thrown out of the base so easily?!"
"that is!"
"Captain Wei died without knowing why! Are you, the Shen family, planning to protect the murderer?!"
"We need to get to the bottom of this! Give Captain Wei justice!"
“…”
Amidst the noise, Jiang Yu finally realized that he was in big trouble.
Didn't Luo Rui say that the man he killed was just a useless piece of trash from the slums? Why did he alarm Shen Shuai? And looking at Shen Shuai's expression, he didn't seem happy at all after solving the problem!
The man looked at Luo Rui in panic, looking for someone to lean on.
Meeting Jiang Yu's gaze, Luo Rui calmly shook her head, trying to calm him down temporarily.
How could it be Wei Ya Ge? Why was Wei Ya Ge here? And what a coincidence, appearing in the room where Qiao Qiao and his brother were meeting?
Luo Rui gritted her teeth and her eyes fell on Jiang Ran who was chatting and laughing with Si Xu.
She did it.
She brought Wei Yage here. She guessed that she wanted to get rid of Qiao Yi, so she let Qiao Qiao and Qiao Yi stage a play - this wooden house and the people in it were baits she threw from the beginning.
She was fooled.
"Oh." Just as Luo Rui frowned in thought, Jiang Ran suddenly called out, let go of Si Xu and ran to Shen Yang, looking down at the man on the ground, "Brother, I know him."
When he heard that Jiang Ran knew her, Shen Yang became interested: "Little cousin, do you know who she is?"
Jiang Ran curled her lips in disdain: "I know - I followed Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi out of Shenmu City. This guy was a member of our team at the time, and he had a very good relationship with Xie Chengzhi."
After specifically emphasizing that this guy had a good relationship with Xie Chengzhi, she lowered her voice, a little aggrieved: "This guy is a pervert. He saw that I was just an ordinary person and wanted to take advantage of me - look at his arm, it was Si Xu who broke it when he wanted to take advantage of me."
In one sentence, Jiang Yu was pushed to the opposite side of her and Si Xu.
This man's arm was broken by Si Xu, so no matter who he works for, he would never work for Si Xu.
"Hey, Luo Rui, take a look, is that Jiang Yu?" After explaining the situation in a few words, Jiang Ran specifically asked Luo Rui, whose face was pale, "Isn't he your friend? You must know him better than I do."
Hearing the meaning behind Jiang Ran's words, Shen Yang felt his sleeve being gently tugged by her. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Luo Rui: "Captain Luo, is what Ranran said true?"
Luo Rui pursed her lips, but before she could answer, Jiang Ran suddenly clapped his hands: "Ah, I know!"
The crisp sound of slapping successfully drew everyone's attention to her.
The girl glanced at Jiang Yu indifferently, her voice clear and rapid, not giving anyone a chance to interrupt: "I know - this guy is a lecher. He must have had his eye on Captain Wei, so he took advantage of the dark and windy night to abduct her here, intending to commit an injustice. Who knew that Captain Wei resisted, and in a rage, he killed her!"
What she said was well-reasoned and could be considered the most reasonable guess at the moment. Everyone showed an expression of sudden realization and naturally accepted her inference.
Jiang Ran didn't mention anything related to her in the whole speech, but Luo Rui's heart skipped a beat when she heard it. She had a hunch that the girl had other motives in saying this.
