Chapter 863: Chapter 696, They've Gone Mad Chapter 863: Chapter 696, They've Gone Mad Damn!

It really was that old man from the Snake Badge Consortium.

Wu Heng's memory of him was quite clear; apart from the difference in clothing, his appearance was exactly the same.

Next was the conversation between the old man and the White Wings Gang Leader.

“Isn't it ready yet?”

The White Wings Gang Leader shook his head, “It will be soon.”

“Make sure there are no mistakes.”

“Don't worry.”

After that, the two stopped talking and just sat there drinking tea.

Xiao Xiao also turned around and flew straight back.

Wu Heng's brow furrowed tightly.

People from the Snake Badge Consortium had appeared in the city's Guard Team dispatch hall, having tea with a gang leader.

Various speculations rose in his mind, and at this moment, the entire case became even more suspicious.

It could even be said that the whole case was a mistake.

“What's wrong?” Gianvito came over and asked.

Wu Heng's brows were still furrowed as he said, “Elder, let's talk inside the office.”

The smiles on the other two men's faces also turned solemn, and they followed him into a separate room.

“Did that gang leader die too?” Tapani guessed instinctively.

“He's not dead, but we discovered another person; there might be some issues with our investigation results,” Wu Heng said gravely.

The other two men's eyes narrowed instantly.

Tapani said gravely, “Say directly what you found.”

“Ghost found the leader of the White Wings Gang. His appearance matched the results from Wenshi, but we also saw a familiar face there, the old man from the Snake Badge Consortium who gave us stuff yesterday. The two seemed to have some plan, waiting for the White Wings Gang Leader's arrangement.”

Wu Heng relayed the probing details to the two men.

After listening, their brows knitted tightly, their expressions revealing confusion and suspicion.

Seeing that the person from the consortium yesterday was now together with their target to be captured, they still had something to do.

No matter how you looked at it, there were issues, but for a moment, it was somewhat incomprehensible.

Tapani, looking serious, asked, “What are your thoughts?”

Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, “There are two possibilities, one is that the White Wings Gang has some connection with the Snake Badge Consortium, discussing matters over there, which could affect our capture. The second possibility is that there might be an issue with the old man's identity.”

“Which do you lean towards?”

“The second one,” Wu Heng said.

Their gazes sharpened.

If it were the second, it meant there was an issue with the identity of someone from the Snake Badge Consortium, and it also signified that yesterday's solved case would be entirely overturned.

“Why?”

Wu Heng said, “Elder and the headmaster might not understand this area. Inside Yeko Kingdom, the existence of the Snake Badge Consortium is illegal, and after a conflict had occurred, it was forcibly shut down. Even if the Snake Badge Consortium left someone to watch over the shop, they wouldn't be openly sitting in an official department drinking tea.”

It was a rather straightforward inference.

Gianvito stroked his beard, puzzled in tone, “Gang members were recruited, it might be possible for people from the Snake Badge Consortium to show up.”

Before Wu Heng could speak, Tapani said, “That's not possible; the biggest promise of the Snake Badge Consortium is only to offer protection to major clients, they wouldn't get involved here.”

“So, you also think there's an issue with their identity?” Gianvito asked.

Tapani didn't respond.

Wu Heng then spoke, “Didn't you feel that yesterday's investigation progressed too quickly? In the morning, we received intelligence about the family of the Secret Speaker, and from his wife's ticket, we obtained his letters at the Snake Badge Consortium, leading us directly to the murderer and several members of the Double Dragon Gang.”

Gianvito said, “That is to say, someone is afraid of escalating the matter, made up some evidence, and handed it to us.”

It seemed like the association was strong, forcing their way into the city, brazenly catching people to investigate.

But this place was still their home ground.

“The Snake Badge Consortium had already closed down; someone arranged a fake person there waiting to hand us the leads,” Tapani summarized.

“Is it possible, that the person who appeared yesterday was just playing along with us?” Wu Heng pinched the bridge of his nose, “They want us to wrap things up quickly and leave.”

Tapani also nodded, “This reasoning could make sense. If the case can't proceed, the headquarters will pay even more attention to this matter, as many places are watching the association's actions, and in any case, they will want a result.”

“So, what do we do next?” Gianvito asked.

While speaking, both of them looked at Wu Heng.

The headquarters' plan was for Wu Heng to lead the investigation, and with this key clue discovered by his Ghost, they were especially interested in hearing his thoughts.

“Speculating now is useless; I think we should start by arresting people, just bring in those two for questioning, and that woman who left this morning, arrange for someone to follow her and see if they can bring her back.”

Wu Heng voiced his idea.

“That works, let's do that,” Tapani agreed with Wu Heng's approach and continued, “If the two really have just ordinary relations, we will stick with the previous conjecture that the murderer is the leader of the Double Dragon Gang.”

“I have no objections,” Gianvito nodded as well.

“Okay, let's not delay further,” Tapani said. “Wu Heng, Gianvito, go capture them immediately. Before the city army takes action, bring them back for interrogation.”

The task of capturing the suspects was again assigned to Wu Heng and the veteran mage.

Both nodded in agreement.

They left the room and enlisted two level 15 professionals, two association squads, and over a hundred Skeleton Warriors at the door.

They grandly exited the association's main gate, heading toward the dispatch hall.

Meanwhile, several Tamed Beasts flew around the corners, swiftly following the team.

The dispatch hall was a four-story building.

Bang!

The door was violently broken open. The association members, along with Skeletons, charged into the building, subduing any soldiers who tried to resist or report.

This was not a military camp, just a functional department.

There weren't many soldiers inside; it wasn't too difficult.

Wu Heng led his team straight into the building's hall.

The White Wings Gang Leader, missing an earlobe, stood there in shock, watching the intruders.

He swallowed several times before saying, “Gentlemen, this is a critical dispatch area; I'm afraid this is not in compliance with the rules.”

No one paid him any mind, and the search began everywhere.

Soon, an elder from the Snake Badge Consortium, captured in the shared video feed, was brought back.

“What are you doing here?” Gianvito asked him directly.

The elder, looking somewhat panicked, said, “I came to sort out some issues. These have nothing to do with the association.”

Wu Heng glanced at him, then looked around, and declared, “In the case of human trafficking in the Emerald Sea, the suspect, the White Wings Gang Leader, along with his associate, are confirmed, bring them back for investigation.”

The association members quickly moved forward and forcibly captured the two men, hurrying back toward the association.

At the same time, several figures departed quickly.

They headed to the City Lord's Mansion and the military barracks to report the situation.

Back at the association.

Wu Heng and Gianvito walked at the forefront, followed by association members, escorting the White Wings Gang Leader and the elder dressed in dark clothes.

Elder Tapani stood in the hall and, with a serious tone, asked, “Are their identities confirmed?”

Wu Heng nodded, “Their identities are confirmed.”

“Interrogate separately, Wu Heng, you take the White Wings Gang member, and quick,” Tapani instructed.

“Understood!” Wu Heng nodded and pointed to the gang leader, “Take him to the interrogation room.”

Inside the interrogation room.

After the Investigator prepared everything.

Wu Heng straightforwardly said, “Tell the truth, and you can live; beat around the bush, and you'll meet your end.”

The gang leader, his voice low, replied, “What do you want to ask? I've done nothing against the association.”

“You don't even have the level to oppose the association,” Wu Heng continued, “Who made you transport people to 'Bejaia City'?”

The gang leader was taken aback, “I don't know what you're talking about. Surely someone is framing me; I'm willing to confront them.”

His tone was vehement, portraying himself as the wronged party.

Wu Heng found the performance somewhat amusing.

These pieces of information were obtained through Wenshi; compared to the living, the dead do not lie.

Before Wu Heng could speak, a Priest by his side said, “He's lying.”

“Here, cut off one of his fingers,” Wu Heng ordered.

No need for the association's men to act, the accompanying Skeleton drew a short sword, and amidst the victim's terror and struggle, flicked off a finger.

A pained wail echoed from the room.

“Stop the bleeding.”

The Priest cast a Skill, and the wound swiftly healed.

“Don't lose that finger,” Wu Heng remarked and then continued, “Who's behind this.”

The man jerked his head up, glaring ferociously.

Quite the tough guy.

“Cut two…” Wu Heng was about to speak when his tone abruptly paused.

He felt his Ghost flying back from outside, penetrating into his body.

Wu Heng sat upright in his seat.

Visions shared from his mind.

Above, dense level light columns converged into a light band, approaching from afar.

Wu Heng's eyes instantly narrowed.

“Damn, they've gone mad.”
