Chapter 82: No Matter What
For more than an hour.
Although Mo Wen did not interject, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Ling Ran and Xu Nianluo did not chat about family matters. Instead, they talked about work, analyzing it from every aspect.
Mo Wen felt inferior to Ling Ran and increasingly felt that he was becoming a workaholic.
There is no need to talk about Xu Nianluo. Her senior brother has been training her to manage logistics since the first day she joined the school. After thousands of years of experience, she can easily control a giant.
And what about Ling Ran?
Is he going to be tied to the Phantom Group by Xu Nianluo?
The more Mo Wen thought about it, the scarier it seemed. Wouldn't that mean he would have even less time to spend with Ling Ran in the future?
Just as he was about to interrupt the two of them, Ling Ran seemed to realize that Mo Wen had been waiting outside alone for too long, so he took the initiative to hang up the phone and walked out.
“Are you making a snowman?”
Looking at Mo Wen, whose body was covered with snow, Ling Ran teased.
“It’s a bit boring.”
Mo Wen admitted it openly. He was indeed very bored without Ling Ran by his side, so he did not pay attention to the details and let the snow cover his entire body.
"Ding-ling-ling."
Just as Ling Ran was about to speak, the phone specially configured in Zhao Yun's tent rang.
Mo Wen's face suddenly became serious.
That is the emergency number that people make when they are in danger.
"Hello."
"knew."
Mo Wen answered the call quickly, then frowned.
"Come on, let's go out for a while."
Returning to Ling Ran, Mo Wen squatted down. Ling Ran understood and climbed onto Mo Wen's back obediently.
"What happened?"
Seeing that Mo Wen didn't even bother to hide himself and flew up directly, Ling Ran asked.
"George is dead."
Mo Wen said coldly.
"ah!"
Ling Ran was also shocked.
They had just met George and learned about the differences in their team. Now George is dead. It's quite suspicious.
George's death also means that Phantom Group's project cannot proceed to the next step, and other surveyors can completely deny it.
"Don't think too much."
Mo Wen patted Ling Ran's thigh.
Having said that, at this critical juncture, who can not think too much?
Even Mo Wen went over the faces of the two members of the survey team in his mind, but he didn't doubt anyone.
These nerds don’t even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill people!
But nothing is absolute. It is very possible that they are doing something wrong.
After all, Mo Wen is not a professional detective, he is just the most powerful man in the special operations team.
When Mo Wen and Ling Ran returned to the market, the restaurant had been cordoned off by the federal police who had arrived.
It is a huge problem if scientists from other continents get into trouble in Shenzhou. The severity of the situation has directly risen to the level of the federal government, and ordinary Shenzhou police really have no right to intervene.
"I'm Mo Wen."
As soon as he was stopped by the federal police, Mo Wen took out his ID from his trouser pocket.
“This is my assistant.”
Mo Wen pointed at Ling Ran and explained.
"You can go in."
After repeatedly confirming Mo Wen's appearance and even taking out an instrument to scan Mo Wen's ID, the federal police finally let him go.
This restaurant is considered to be the most luxurious restaurant in the market.
Companies from all major circles and scientists from all continents come here to spend their free time.
So after George's body was found in the restroom, these top dignitaries in this area were all locked up in the store by the store owners who were eager to clear their suspicion until the federal police arrived.
"Hello."
"We are innocent."
"Yes, we are just here for afternoon tea."
"Hurry up and figure it out, and then let us out."
Seeing Mo Wen walk in, these dignitaries thought that Mo Wen was the one in charge, and they jumped out and shouted at Mo Wen.
"Brother Mo, you are here!"
When the survey team saw Mo Wen, they became even more excited and ran over to surround Mo Wen.
Of course, this group of people also knew that the ones who were most suspicious at this moment were those who had differences with George.
"I know you, you are George's apprentice."
"Kevin, right?"
Looking at the curly-haired young man who was holding onto his hands and refusing to let go, Mo Wen nodded lightly.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
"The teacher said he was going to the bathroom."
"Then he didn't come back for more than half an hour."
"I went in and saw blood and called the police."
Kevin hurriedly told Mo Wen the confession he had just given to the federal police.
"None of you left during this time?"
Mo Wen asked with a frown.
"I went to order a cup of coffee."
"I went out to answer a phone call."
"But none of us have been to the bathroom."
Everyone was arguing one after another.
"The police checked the surveillance."
"It's true that no one has ever been in the bathroom."
Kevin added.
"Can you take me to the scene?"
Mo Wen turned around and spoke to the federal police who were recording other people's statements.
"good."
Considering Mo Wen's identity as a strong man in the special operations team, the policeman gave his deputy a few instructions and took Mo Wen to the bathroom.
George's body had been removed.
The innermost room of the bathroom was the crime scene, with a lot of blood stains. Mo Wen blocked Ling Ran behind him without leaving a trace.
"He was drowned in the toilet."
The federal police officer said.
"Okay, got it."
Mo Wen nodded and took Ling Ran out.
Because the federal police had intervened before him, all the evidence and the scene were destroyed, and Mo Wen didn't even know which group of people had arrived.
The purpose of notifying the special operations team was just to let them deter the police and prevent a second crime from happening.
"Brother Mo, did you find anything?"
Seeing Mo Wen coming out, Kevin and the survey team hurriedly surrounded him again.
"No."
Mo Wen lowered his head, shook his head, and walked out of the restaurant with Ling Ran.
If it wasn't related to Ling Ran's project, Mo Wen would definitely not be so worried.
"It's okay. At worst, I can just go back and tell Nianluo that we can't talk anymore."
Sitting side by side with Mo Wen on a bench outside the restaurant, Ling Ran patted Mo Wen's arm and said with a smile.
Mo Wen continued to lower his head and shook it slowly.
He wasn't frustrated because he didn't find any clues.
Instead, I found a clue and then fell into this dilemma.
"Xiao Ran, do you really want to make this project a success?"
Mo Wen suddenly looked up and looked at Ling Ran seriously.
Ling Ran realized that something was fishy. After thinking about it, he nodded firmly, "Yes, I don't want to hide behind you all the time. I also want to become stronger and match you."
"good."
Hearing this, Mo Wen also made up his mind.
This was no ordinary murder.
And it was an attack carried out by a person with special powers.
As for why the victim was George, that goes without saying.
Some people want to cut off the connection between Phantom Group and George and do not want this project to be accomplished.
As to whether it is the power of Shenzhou Continent or other continents, it is not known for the time being.
