Chapter 2 Wasteland Smoke and Fire, Between Truth and Deception



He carefully picked up Zhao Xiaorou and, taking advantage of the chaos, hid her in the newly discovered supply depot.

"It's safe here for now. Stay here and wait for me to come back," Lu Zhaoming said softly, then turned and left the reserve point.

Back on the ground, Lu Zhaoming volunteered to assist Zhang Tieshan in handling the aftermath.

He knew this was a golden opportunity to gather clues.

During the cleanup, Lu Zhaoming intentionally or unintentionally approached Qin Wan'er, observing her every move.

He noticed that Qin Wan'er had been frequently entering and leaving the storage room recently, and seemed to be looking for something.

"System, monitor Qin Wan'er's movements for me," Lu Zhaoming commanded in his mind.

Soon, the system reported: "Target detected entering the storage room... Retrieving surveillance footage..."

While moving supplies with the others, Lu Zhaoming secretly checked the surveillance footage.

The video shows Qin Wan'er searching through the storage room for a long time before finally finding a list.

The list included the names of several survivors, along with their weaknesses.

"Heh, the fox's tail has finally been revealed." Lu Zhaoming sneered. It seems that this Qin Wan'er really is a scheming bitch!

Just as Lu Zhaoming was planning his next move, Qin Wan'er suddenly announced an emergency meeting... Lu Zhaoming was pondering how to dig out this cancerous tumor, Qin Wan'er, when out of nowhere, this woman pulled a fast one—an emergency meeting!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Qin Wan'er, guarantee with my integrity that I have solid evidence that the murderer is... the deceased Li Feng!" Qin Wan'er stood on the makeshift stage, her voice filled with righteous indignation; anyone who didn't know her would think she was the embodiment of justice.

Immediately afterwards, a "testimony" was projected onto the wall, with black and white text on it, accusing Li Feng of how he conspired and how he carried out the attack.

Lu Zhaoming glanced at it and thought, "Good heavens, the handwriting is so well imitated that even an amateur like me would have to call it a 'high-quality imitation'!"

The audience erupted in uproar, their anger palpable, as if Li Feng were a heinous demon incarnate.

Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, Lu Zhaoming knew that he could no longer remain a bystander.

"Wait! There's something wrong with this testimony!" Lu Zhaoming suddenly stood up, his voice booming, instantly drowning out all the noise.

He strode to the front of the stage, his eyes like knives, staring directly at Qin Wan'er. "Secretary Qin, the handwriting on this testimony is clearly forged!"

"You're talking nonsense! My testimony is..." Qin Wan'er's expression changed slightly, and her tone became somewhat flustered.

Lu Zhaoming didn't give her a chance to argue and interrupted her directly: "Whether it's forged or not, a handwriting expert can tell immediately! Besides, I have even more important evidence!"

As he spoke, Lu Zhaoming pulled a blood-stained piece of cloth from his pocket and held it up high. "This piece of cloth was found next to Li Feng's body. After careful examination, I found that the blood on it is not Li Feng's blood, but another kind of toxin!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, all eyes fixed on that small piece of cloth.

"You...you're spouting nonsense!" Qin Wan'er's voice trembled.

Lu Zhaoming sneered, "The real highlight is yet to come."

He looked at Qin Wan'er, whose face was ashen, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "The show has only just begun..."
