Astral Flower - Chapter 373: Investigation (2)
Nan Hou saw that Nan Xian Yu was still staring in that direction and looked in that direction too. "What are you thinking?"
"I’m wondering what’s the record for the longest sniper shot."
"Huh? The best sniper in the army can shoot for more than 5 km away, but that’s just for our planet. In other planets, there are those who could shoot for more than 8 or even 9 kilometers with the new gun." Nan Hou liked to follow this news, so he still knew more or less.
He was always amazed by these people’s precision.
It was something that he could never achieve in his entire life no matter how hard he tried.
Nan Xian Yu looked at Nan Hou. "How about 10 kilometers away?"
"10 kilometers away?" Nan Hou was stunned. "Are you sure that the bullet will not lose strength at such distance? Even though the bullet was big, to be so precise from this distance is simply monstrous."
There was definitely no one in their planet who could do something like that.
At least, as far as he knew.
"Hmm." Nan Xian Yu nodded and then looked at the back. "What do you want me to do when you call me here?"
"Help me to secure the way to transport the body back." Nan Hou pointed at the row of people who were waiting with their cameras. These reporters refused to leave such a good source of news.
They were itching to make an astonishing piece of news.
Now, this is basically the hottest topic in the city.
How could they be willing to leave?
"I know." Nan Xian Yu nodded.
"Your team members..."
"Most of them are from other planets." Nan Xian Yu passed a look at Nan Hou. "They won’t be coming, but there are others who will help."
"Alright then."
...
The commotion due to Tang Bao Lu’s death continued.
Even after searching on the buildings nearby, they found no mark whatsoever. And when it was night time, rain came.
Looking at the rain, Nan Hou felt desperate. "If the sniper is on the roof, this rain might as well destroy any evidence left from them."
"Right." Nan Xian Yu was still calm.
"How come you’re so calm? Are you not worried about it?" Nan Hou was confused at his cousin’s attitude.
"In the first place, there are a lot of people who disliked Tang Bao Lu. Also, the higher-ups have been thinking about investigating him." Nan Xian Yu didn’t explain more but this was already more than enough.
Nan Hou was stunned.
He never thought that the government was actually planning to investigate Tang Family.
Isn’t this basically one of the eight biggest family?
Why did they turn against each other?
Even though Nan Hou is part of the Nan Family, he was only part of the branch family. Not to mention, Nan Hou’s position in the police department was relatively low and didn’t have many authorities.
Unlike Nan Xian Yu who knew some inside information, what Nan Hou knew was limited.
Before Nan Hou could complain, they heard footsteps and saw Nan Hai Lan coming in their direction.
"Uncle."
"Second Master."
"You can go." Nan Hai Lan nodded at Nan Hou, who immediately ran away. He then turned to look at Nan Xian Yu. "There’s a dispute in the Tang Family. It’s estimated that the investigation will be affected, so you might want to leave this matter be."
Nan Xian Yu arched his eyebrows. He was not very surprised at this piece of news. The fact that Tang Family was suspicious has been mentioned several times. Some people were curious about the Tang Family and wanted to find out more.
But at the same time, they were afraid of the power behind Tang Family.
Now that their current head was assassinated, it could be said to be the best chance for them to take advantage of the situation.
"There’s internal investigation too?" Nan Xian Yu asked.
"Yes." Nan Hai Lan sighed deeply. He has been busy arranging for the matters of Ruan Family. But now, it seemed that his work was not done yet because he was also asked to help with the investigation related to the Tang Family.
If he had to say, he didn’t want to touch anything related to the Tang Family.
There were simply too many things that was simply too annoying to touch from them.
"Ok." Nan Xian Yu nodded.
"Your grandfather asked me to relay a message to you. He had applied for an investigation and wanted you to be the one in charge."
Nan Xian Yu nodded and looked at his own light brain.
There was a new mission posted for him and it was a mandatory mission, requested by Old Master Nan for him. Looking at the content of the mission, Nan Xian Yu had some guesses as to why Old Master Nan wanted him to do this mission.
"It might be a bit dangerous, but he also said that it’s better to take advantage of this chaos to do the test and confirm some matters." Nan Hai Lan knew the mission, but he said nothing.
He himself had no interest to get involved in that matter.
Besides, the main reason why he was not selected was because of his own personal relationship with the target. If he were to be the one to do this mission, it would be inevitable that he would have some emotions.
"Are you sure about this?" Nan Xian Yu asked. "You don’t mind them using her as the trap?"
"No." Nan Hai Lan shook his head. "I have no say in this matter."
You have no say?
Nan Xian Yu didn’t believe it, but he didn’t say anything. "I’ll be going first. I have to say goodbye to my siblings."
"Ok."
Nan Hai Lan stood in place for a moment before walking away. The investigation about Tang Bao Lu’s death would still continue, but it would not involve them at all.
