Chapter 706: Tricky, misunderstanding?
A threat, an undisguised threat.
Feng Mu frowned slightly. Although he was not afraid, he also felt it was a bit tricky.
Although he could kill the two men with just a finger, the other party represented the Mobile Division and was using force to suppress them. Killing the two men would likely cause big trouble.
It would undoubtedly disrupt his current dormant development plan, which would not be worth the loss. However, there was no way he would go with the other party.
This was completely different from the last time he took the initiative to go to the police station to accept investigation. That time he was confident that he could control the situation and get away safely.
But what about this time?
Once he stepped into the territory of the Mobile Unit, his life and death would be in the hands of others. He didn't think he could get out as easily as last time.
After all, the other party was unwilling to even reveal the reason for the investigation.
It was like blindfolding him and pushing him into a small dark room where no one knew what was hiding.
To some extent, this "invitation" of unknown purpose may be more dangerous than all the obvious dangers he has encountered before.
The most terrifying danger is the one that cannot be seen.
The only thing Feng Mu could be sure of at this moment was that the two people from the mobile unit had a bright sign that read "full of malice" on them.
This is the most direct warning from the system.
Just when the atmosphere in the office was at a stalemate, Li Shang, who had been observing silently from the side, finally couldn't help but speak.
He also keenly sensed something amiss and potential danger, and from the name of the Mobile Department, he naturally thought of the Maintenance Department.
Seeing Zhao Lu's aggressive attitude at this moment, which was so similar to Zheng Geng he had met before, his heart sank.
The detective's unique suspicion and associative abilities began to work rapidly, and a shocking idea flashed through his mind like lightning:
"Is there a possibility... that the mobile unit is not, or is not entirely, targeting Feng Mu?
They want to take Feng Mu away. Could it be that they want to use this as a way to pry open a gap with him, with the ultimate goal of obtaining evidence against me?"
As for why the mobile unit didn’t come directly for him, Li Shang?
That was naturally because his current identity was somewhat special, and his safety issues were subtly tied to Councillor Wang in the short term.
Anyone with a bit of political wisdom and scruples would not directly come up and bite this hard bone with a "talisman" without solid evidence.
Looking for a breakthrough from Feng Mu is undoubtedly a safer and more roundabout strategy.
When Li Shang thought of this possibility, he could no longer sit still.
This was not only for the safety of his friends, but also for his own safety, so he had to speak out:
"Can the Mobile Unit be so overbearing when handling cases? They don't even have a proper explanation. They just take people away from their job with the empty promise of cooperating with the investigation?"
It seemed as if Zhao Lu had not noticed the existence of a person named Li Shang in the office until this moment.
He squinted his eyes at Li Shang, sneered, and retorted:
"Who was it I thought? It's Captain Li. Why are you running to a place like the Second Prison instead of searching for the missing special envoy?
Is there any clue here?"
He did not give Li Shang a chance to answer and continued to press him aggressively:
"Captain Li, you've worked in the police station for so many years, you must understand the confidentiality investigation regulations, right?
The case our mobile unit is investigating is of a very high level, and the details must be kept confidential. I advise you, Captain Li, not to ask around, and certainly not to interfere, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!
Li Shang's face immediately turned pale and blue.
At the same time, his heart sank, and he became almost more certain of his own judgment - the Mobile Department and the Maintenance Department have similar names and similar styles, so it is easy for them to pee in the same gourd.
Zhao Lu saw that Li Shang's face turned pale with just two words. He didn't dare to talk back and a smug look appeared on his face.
He ignored Li Shang and turned his gaze back to Feng Mu, exerting final pressure:
"Come on, Feng Mu, don't make things difficult for us. Come back with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of them dimly, and said nothing.
Zhao Lu wanted to continue to put pressure on Feng Mu, but his colleague behind him suddenly stepped forward, walked up to Feng Mu, lowered his voice and said in a friendly tone:
"Don't worry, come with us. We won't do anything to you. There are just some things that you may or may not know about, so we need to ask you in person to go through the formalities.
Just cooperate and make sure you say what you need to say. I promise you'll be back soon."
He paused, observing Feng Mu's expression, and lowered his voice even more, as if revealing some inside information:
"To be honest, your problem isn't that serious. Our mobile unit isn't targeting you personally this time, otherwise there wouldn't be just the two of us here.
Don't scare yourself, and don't make things worse by resisting. We're doing this for your own good."
After saying this, he stood up and silently retreated to his position next to Zhao Lu, returning to his silent self and allowing Zhao Lu to continue to frown and create a sense of oppression.
A typical case of one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, using both soft and hard tactics.
If someone else came, he might be intimidated by these two people and would obediently follow them to cooperate with the investigation.
Feng Mu seemed to be really persuaded. He sighed and said:
"Before I leave with you... could you please let me take another look at your ID? I need to confirm it so I can feel more at ease."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Lu immediately revealed a sneer on his face that said, "It should have been done long ago." He felt that Feng Mu had finally succumbed to the pressure and was ready to surrender.
He impatiently took out his ID from his inner pocket and urged:
"What? Still not giving up? Suspecting we're fakes? Look carefully! The Executive Mobile Division is the real deal!"
His colleague also silently took out his ID again.
They were not panicked at all. Although they were not from the Mobile Department, their credentials were real.
Feng Mu took the two people's ID cards, held them in front of his face and looked at them for two seconds, then handed them to Li Shang and said:
"Captain Li, you're experienced and have a good eye. Could you please help me check these two documents? Are they real or fake?"
Li Shang was slightly stunned, but still followed his instructions and began to look through the book carefully. He stroked the edge of the paper and the convex and concave texture of the emblem with his fingers, checked the watermark against the light, and examined every detail.
After checking it over and over for a few seconds, he raised his head, looked at Feng Mu, and gave a positive answer in a deep voice:
"The paper, printing, craftsmanship, emblem details, and seal... there are no problems. It must be authentic!"
The smug look on Zhao Lu's face grew even stronger, and he almost snorted. He looked at Feng Mu arrogantly, his eyes seeming to say:
"Are you giving up now? Why don't you just follow us!"
Feng Mu took the two certificates back from Li Shang.
He moved slowly, his eyes lowered, looking at the two small notebooks in his palms that represented "official" and "power", with no expression on his face.
Zhao Lu stretched out his hand impatiently, ready to take back his ID.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the ID, Feng Mu's hand suddenly loosened without any warning...!
“Snap!”
Two soft sounds were particularly clear and sharp in the silent office.
Two dark blue certificates, like two pieces of discarded garbage, slipped from Feng Mu's fingers and fell to the cold ground, then bounced slightly and were covered with dust.
Zhao Lu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the pride and arrogance on his face instantly froze, turning into extreme astonishment and disbelief.
In a split second, Feng Mu let go of the hand holding the ID, leaned forward gently, and grabbed Zhao Lu's throat.
"Well……!"
Zhao Lu only had time to let out a painful groan before he was lifted up from his spot by an irresistible force.
His feet left the ground instantly and he kicked weakly in the air. Because of suffocation, his face quickly turned from red to purple, and his eyeballs began to bulge outward, filled with bloodshot and fear.
Feng Mu held up the struggling Zhao Lu with one arm, his arm as steady as a rock, without even a trace of trembling.
There was still no ferocious expression on his face, but he frowned slightly and looked down at the two fallen certificates on the ground. He sighed softly and said quietly:
"But, no matter how I look at it, I feel... these two documents are forged?"
Li Shang felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze at that moment.
His eyes widened as he stared at the mobile unit certificate that had fallen to the ground, and it seemed as if millions of bees were buzzing in his head at the same time.
Fake?
How could this be fake?!
He seriously suspected that Feng Mu was talking nonsense, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
As a friend, he couldn't jump out to speak for the Mobile Department now, but if he didn't speak up, the people in the Mobile Department would have their necks strangled.
This person from the Mobile Unit is indeed annoying, but killing him directly in the Second Prison, or killing him in front of him, will cause big trouble.
Chang Erbing also stood up and looked at the scene in front of him in horror.
He had always known that Feng Mu was extremely daring, but it was still very frightening to admire him in person.
Li Shang was very anxious and quickly took two steps forward, deciding to persuade Feng Mu.
It’s not that you can’t kill people, but you can’t do it so blatantly.
The people from the Mobile Department must have reported to the Second Prison. If these two people really died here, it would be hard to explain when the time comes.
Feng Mu couldn't explain it clearly, and neither could Li Shang.
But before Li Shang could speak, Feng Mu turned his head, looked at him with a smile and said:
"Captain Li, didn't you just say you would help me kill Wang Cong? I rejected Captain Li's kindness at the time, and now when I think about it, I feel really bad. I feel like I let down my friend's kindness."
He paused, his eyes swept over the dying Zhao Lu in his hand, then fell back on Li Shang's face, and suggested in a more sincere tone:
"How about Captain Li come and fill in now?!"
Li Shang: “…”
He froze completely, his mind going blank for a moment.
Although this logic is correct and heartwarming, it just feels a bit weird.
Do you think killing someone is a gift? If you can’t give it away, you have to give it again? ! !
If someone else said this to him, Li Shang would definitely think that the other person was forcing him to surrender and join the pirate ship.
But... the person in front of him is Feng Mu.
Looking at Feng Mu's clear eyes and his smile that was full of "thinking about you", Li Shang felt that the other party might... might really think so.
In this madman's worldview, accepting a friend's "help in killing" and reciprocating the favor might actually be a way to maintain friendship?
It is pure kindness of the highest order!!!
"If I refuse, will it seem a bit ungrateful?"
Li Shang opened his mouth and then closed it weakly. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to this incredible "invitation".
Just as Li Shang was struggling with his conscience and standing there in a trance, another person from the mobile unit finally recovered from his extreme horror.
His face turned pale and he roared in shock and anger:
"Feng Mu! What the hell are you doing? Let Zhao Lu go! Assaulting a member of the mobile unit is a serious crime. Do you know what you're doing? Are you crazy?!"
The smiling expression on Feng Mu's face did not change at all, and he turned his head leisurely:
"Where's the Mobile Unit? I only saw two imposters who were so bold as to impersonate important members of the Executive Yuan."
"you!!!"
The personnel of the mobile department were so angry that they were shaking all over, their hearts were beating wildly, almost jumping out of their throats.
He forced himself to remain calm, but his face grew increasingly angry, using even louder roars to mask his fear:
“Feng Mu, if you let go now, I promise not to pursue this matter, but if you insist on doing so, you’d better think it over carefully. We are in the Second Prison, and Shangguan knows everything.
Even if you don't cooperate, killing two of us here will be useless and will only lead to your own death."
Feng Mu listened very carefully and nodded, as if he was really thinking about what he said.
Then he raised his head and asked sincerely:
"Well, what you said makes sense. Killing you two alone won't help. So, can you tell me who your superior is?"
Another member of the mobile unit showed a look of horror. He saw the seriousness on Feng Mu's face and thought to himself:
"Crazy, this is a lunatic. No wonder the commander asked us to trick him back. Damn it, it's all because of that idiot Zhao Lu who couldn't hide his malice. Now he's going to kill me."
He glanced at Zhao Lu out of the corner of his eye. The latter's face had turned from blue to ashen pale. His hands, which had been weakly scratching Feng Mu's arms before, had now completely drooped down. Only his toes were still twitching slightly. It was obvious that he was about to die.
He was extremely anxious. He had to save Zhao Lu, otherwise he would definitely die here.
He wanted to take action, but when he met Feng Mu's indifferent eyes, he had no courage to do so.
What made him even more desperate was that the office door behind him was pushed open at some point, and several masked prison guards walked in, pointing their guns at him.
He didn't even dare to take a step, and his voice became shrill and out of tune due to extreme fear:
"Feng Mu, stop it! It's a misunderstanding! What a huge misunderstanding!
We...we are family. We all work for Councillor Wang. There are some misunderstandings here. You...you should let Zhao Lu go first. We can discuss everything. We are all family!"
