Chapter 126: Scapegoat, eavesdropping
Chang Erbing stood up suddenly, and in shock, his voice unconsciously rose: "Captain Li, you won't agree to the special commissioner, right?"
Ma Bin sat aside, his pupils slightly contracted, and two thoughts flashed through his mind almost at the same time, like lightning.
The first thought was: Oh, it turns out that the person who issued this order was the special commissioner, so the special commissioner could be the real "family"? The second thought was: The police station followed this group of students, are they looking for [Mask]? ! !
When Chang Erbing had a secret conversation with Ma Bin asking for help, he only stated the request but did not explain the purpose. However, Li Shang was worried and let the secret slip under the influence of alcohol.
Li Shang suddenly woke up from his drunkenness. He glared at Ma Bin with a dark face and said, "Remember this about the [Mask]. You must not reveal a single word to anyone."
Ma Bin's face showed obvious confusion. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Who is [Masquerade]? Is it a nickname?"
Li Shang felt slightly relieved, realizing that he was worrying too much. A mere gang boss had nothing to do with [Mask].
His heart dropped back into his stomach. He waved his hand impatiently and warned in a stiff tone: "This is the internal secret of the police station. It is not your place to ask. Just remember to erase the word [mask] from your memory and pretend that you have never heard of it."
Ma Bin nodded indifferently, blew out a long smoke ring, leaned back on the sofa, and flipped through the list in his hand casually.
"My superior, 'Masquerade', is hiding among these ordinary students?"
"It's not Feng Mu. Did I guess wrong, or did the police station make a wrong judgment?"
"But judging from the expressions of Li Shang and Chang Erbing, the police seem to have solid evidence to prove that 'Mask' is indeed on this list. So..."
Ma Bin puffed out smoke with a calm expression, but his heart was filled with turmoil. He made a decision: "I have to notify the online team immediately about this matter."
He gently put out the cigarette, and the remaining smoke lingered in the air.
Ma Bin's eyes inadvertently swept over the two people who were talking intensely, and a sinister murderous intent flashed across the depths of his eyes.
If his superior is really in danger of being exposed, then later on, he will definitely use whatever means necessary to pry open the two captains' teeth and find out how far the police station's investigation has progressed.
Ma Bin flicked the cigarette butt into the ashtray, smiled and nodded to the two of them, indicating that he was going to go out.
Li Shang and Chang Erbing did not pay much attention to or guard against Ma Bin, so they did not notice the look in Ma Bin's eyes that seemed to be staring at someone dead.
In the box.
Chang Erbing's face flushed red, and he said excitedly:
"Even if we took some extraordinary measures to suppress Destiny, we did so with the endorsement of the Upper City Council. Plus the tight blockade by the Black Pillar, everything was justified."
He paused for a moment, then spoke rapidly and urgently like a cannonball:
"As for the 'Mask', can it be compared with [Destiny]? If the two are of the same nature, why would the special envoy still be waiting here for us to hesitate?"
"He has already directly ordered the Survey Corps to surround the entire school."
"The special commissioner did not take such action. Instead, he privately hinted to Captain Li that you should take action yourself. If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if things get out of control, Captain Li and our police station will become scapegoats, right?"
Li Shang obviously understood this truth, so he didn't dare to fully agree to it in the villa.
He rubbed his cheeks, which had become stiff due to nervousness, and said with a bit of ruthlessness and unwillingness in his voice: "Er Bing, I understand what you said. So in the villa, he just gave me a hint and let me understand the deep meaning by myself."
"In this way, if the matter becomes serious in the future, the special commissioner can easily clear himself of all charges. At most, he will be criticized for failing to supervise properly and the matter will be passed over lightly."
"But those of us who took action will have to eat popcorn one by one without exception."
Seeing that Captain Li knew everything clearly, Chang Erbing's expression eased a little. He was really afraid that Captain Li would get carried away by the title of "acting captain" and lead his brothers to death without hesitation.
Chang Erbing took a few deep breaths, adjusted his breathing, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, I was a little hasty just now, don't be angry."
Li Shang's expression changed from gloomy to bright. He suddenly picked up the bottle and gulped down the remaining half of the bottle. Then he said with a grim smile, "Er Bing, it's not your fault. It's the special commissioner who wants to kill us."
Chang Erbing remained silent.
Li Shang patted Chang Erbing's shoulder heavily, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, and he said in a gloomy voice:
"I can understand that the special commissioner doesn't take the lives of people outside as his own, but he can't not take our lives as his own. If that's the case, who would dare to work for him? Don't you think that makes sense?"
Chang Erbing nodded, meeting the fierce light in Li Shang's eyes. His heart skipped a beat, but he still nodded in agreement and said, "Captain Li, you are right. The special commissioner has chilled our hearts. Captain Li, tell me, what should we do?"
Li Shang said in a hoarse voice: "After all, the special envoy came from the city. We can't openly oppose him, but we can't listen to him and go to our own death."
Li Shang's eyes flashed coldly: "If you do this, you should first explain the pros and cons of this matter to your brothers."
Chang Erbing understood what Li Shang meant. He said in a deep voice, "Captain Li, don't worry. I will make sure that all the brothers understand that the special commissioner wants to force us all to death."
Li Shang nodded, his brows knitted into a knot: "Let me think about it, let me think about what to do next."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
To defy the commissioner directly is to court death;
To obey the commissioner is to walk into death;
No matter which way he went, it seemed to be a dead end. Li Shang was extremely confused and couldn't think of a solution for the time being, but he didn't have much time left.
Chang Erbing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Captain Li, how about we find a scapegoat and push him out?"
Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Ma Bin?"
Chang Erbing nodded: "Let's let Ma Bin do this. After he's done, we'll wipe out Ma Bin and the Green Wolf Gang together."
Li Shang's heart was moved for a moment, then he refused: "Ma Bin won't work. He sold out our brother to protect himself, and he can sell us out to protect himself this time. This man is too smart. We can't let him do something that will surely lead to his death."
Chang Erbing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Why don't we bring Ma Bin in and ask him to help us come up with some ideas?"
Li Shang frowned. He thought to himself, what use could a gang be in such a big event?
But at this critical moment, he is willing to try any possible solution, just to give it a try.
Li Shang sighed, and finally nodded, agreeing to Chang Erbing's proposal.
Since he was ready to "turn against" the government, he seemed no longer worried about the issue of confidentiality.
Little did they know that while the two of them were plotting quietly in the house, Ma Bin in the next room was listening to every word of their conversation through the wiretap.
On Ma Bin’s desk, a phone screen was on, indicating that it was in a call state… Thank you all for your concern.
It’s better today. The pain has gone from being unbearable to being able to endure it by gritting my teeth!
