Astral Flower - Chapter 372: Investigation
The matter of the Ruan Family was fermenting outside.
Nan Xian Yu was originally staying with the other two. However, midway the matter, he was suddenly called by his cousin who was in the police force to ask for help regarding the assassination of Tang Bao Lu.
He was such a high profile figure that it involved a lot of interest.
A lot of people were dispatched to handle this matter and almost every idle police and even the army were called to help.
"Brother?" Nan Xian Mu asked when he saw his older brother came back with a solemn expression. Even if Nan Xian Yu was usually a bit expressionless, he still looked quite amiable. Only when there was something serious would he show this appearance.
"There’s an emergency mission." Nan Xian Yu looked at his younger brother and sister. "You two stay here and don’t go anywhere."
"Yes."
Nan Hua and Nan Xian Mu watched as Nan Xian Yu left in a hurry before looking at each other.
"Do you know what happened?" Nan Xian Mu asked.
"When I come out, there’s a report about an assassination of Tang Family head," Nan Hua replied honestly.
"Tang Family Head? That medicine master something?" Nan Xian Mu was astonished. He naturally knew about the Tang Family because they were also one of the eight big families.
The eight big families had some meetings from time to time. It was rare and usually only done to celebrate some kind of events that happened to one of them. But they still hold some parties and invited other from the eight big families.
Nan Xian Mu did participate in the past.
He didn’t have much impression of the others, though.
"Um." Nan Hua nodded.
"Well, I guess it’s no wonder that even the army is deployed." Nan Xian Mu sighed. With a person of such stature being killed, a lot of people would be involved. The military will interject because Tang Family also supplied medicine to the military.
It would be quite messy.
"Do you think they will be able to catch the culprit?"
"No."
"Why?"
"To assassinate a person of such stature, the one who did it had to be either ready to be caught or had enough preparation not to be caught," Nan Hua replied.
It has always been that way.
For every mission, she had to be prepared to erase all kind of trace and disappeared. Because she still wanted to live and in order to live, she had to prove her usefulness to the organization and finished their mission.
No matter how difficult it is, she had to succeed.
Because it was the only way for her to continue living.
Trail of blood would always follow her wherever she goes and this is the path that she had chosen for herself.
She wanted to live.
So she will kill.
"Really?" Nan Xian Mu was astonished. "Oh well, I guess we’ll have a lot of things to do."
He glanced at the closed recovery cabin and sighed.
Not long ago, Nan Xian Tang request for the purer recovery liquid was granted. Right now, the cabin was closed to help him absorb the recovery liquid better.
It would take a few hours before he came out and then continue to use the more diluted version.
With this, Nan Xian Tang will recover faster.
It was just a bit more painful.
...
While Nan Hua and Nan Xian Mu were talking with each other and discuss things, Nan Xian Yu had reached the destination and looked at his cousin, Nan Hou. Nan Hou is one of the few people from the Nan Family who entered the police force instead of the army.
After all, even if their genes were strong, not everyone truly had the talent to enter the army and fought on the frontline.
Those with relatively lower talent or have some other consideration would choose to stay on the back and become part of the police force. The risk was lower but they would still have a relatively good profession. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Nan Hou."
"Xian Yu." Nan Hou looked at Nan Xian Yu and smiled bitterly. The two of them were around the same age but they developed in completely different direction. "It’s a mess here."
Nan Xian Yu raised his head and saw the messy stage. The body was still there and there were investigators who had already arrived. Counting the number, he could guess that several groups were ordered to work together.
This high profile case was more than enough to keep them busy.
No to mention, Tang Bao Lu was assassinated during a live broadcast.
It could be imagined that countless people watched as this high ranking man died in front of their eyes.
"There are indeed some high profile assassination, but this is very high profile and our phones are being bombed." Nan Hou really wished that he could hand over his work right now.
But he knew that he couldn’t do that.
"Any list of enemies?"
"Too many to count." Nan Hou passed a look at Nan Xian Yu. There were too many people who wished for Tang Bao Lu’s death.
From his own family members to the people who worked in the business with him to his rivals. The list was simply too long that Nan Hou didn’t know what he should say.
"How about the bullet trajectory?"
"It’s heading towards that direction." Nan Hou pointed at one direction. "But there are more than 10 story buildings along the line of sight."
"10 story building?" Nan Xian Yu repeated.
"Well, based on the angle that these experts determined, it has to be higher than 10 story to make the wound. The bullet is heading downwards and directly shattered his brain." Nan Hou pointed at Tang Bao Lu.
Nan Xian Yu looked at the direction with a thoughtful expression.
"We have sent investigators to check the nearby buildings’ roof, but there hadn’t been any result so far." Nan Hou sighed.
