Seeing the shattered window upstairs, Kong Zheng Hui immediately had a bad feeling and was about to take his men upstairs.

"Bang!"

Just as they were about to enter the door, a kettle fell from upstairs and shattered on the ground.

In the residential building, many lights came on, and many residents were awakened by the two loud noises.

Kong Zheng Hui also suddenly realized something. He hurriedly grabbed Da Liang and ordered urgently, "Something's wrong. There might be someone else in his room! Quick, take some brothers and quickly scan the area to see if anyone else has run out."

"Got it." Da Liang turned his head and shouted, pointing with his hand, "You guys, come with me, quick!"

"Yes!"

Seven or eight brothers immediately took their guns and ran after Da Liang towards the back of the building.

Kong Zheng Hui then led the remaining dozen or so people into the building and ran upstairs.

…

Downstairs, Da Liang and the others quickly arrived at the rear of the residential building. Just as they rushed out of the corner, they heard a burst of footsteps from upstairs.

"Tat-tat-tat!"

"Brother Liang, there's someone over there!" a young man shouted, pointing to the top of his head.

Da Liang looked up and saw two masked men climbing out of a window and jumping onto the landing of the opposite building, running down the outdoor stairs of the opposite building.

The distance between the two buildings was very small, less than a meter.

"Block them!"

Da Liang did not hesitate and raised his Remington, preparing to block the two men.

"Squeak—"

Just then, three vans suddenly rushed out from the street next to them and braked sharply in front of everyone.

Da Liang's heart jumped. It was almost a conditioned reflex. He roared, "They have backup! Take cover!"

The young men hurriedly stopped and retreated to the corner, hiding behind the wall.

"Whirr!"

"Da-da-da!"

The doors of the three vans opened, and more than a dozen gunmen jumped out of the vans and began扫射 in their direction.

The corner of the wall was blasted with dust. Da Liang and the others were pinned down and could only watch as the two masked men jumped into the vans.

The other side did not linger. After picking up the men, they immediately got into the vans and sped away.

Da Liang had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie and report to Kong Zheng Hui, "Brother, a group of people are exchanging fire with us downstairs."

Kong Zheng Hui immediately asked, "Where are they?"

Da Liang shook his head and said, "They were well-prepared. There were a lot of them. We couldn't stop them. They got away."

"Got it! You guys guard downstairs!" Kong Zheng Hui added, "Call some more brothers over! And make it quick!"

"Understood!"

…

In the stairwell, Kong Zheng Hui put down the walkie-talkie, led a dozen or so people, and strode to the floor where the window had just been smashed.

There were three households on the floor, two of which seemed to be uninhabited. There was a lot of dust on the doors, and there were no Spring Festival couplets.

The door of the innermost room was slightly open.

"Be careful!" Kong Zheng Hui frowned and reminded them.

The young men next to him immediately took up their Remingtons, and one of them made two hand gestures.

Two young men quickly stepped forward and leaned against the door.

"Pa!"

Kong Zheng Hui waved his hand, and a young man suddenly pulled open the door. The other, holding a Remington, stood sideways and quickly scanned the room, "Brother Hui, the living room is empty."

"Check it out."

"Yes."

Several young men, holding Remingtons, stepped into the house, opened the doors one by one, and checked the situation inside.

They looked inside the wardrobes and under the beds to make sure no one was hiding in them.

Soon, a young man shouted, "Brother Hui, Zhang Yuan is in the bedroom… he's dead."

Kong Zheng Hui stepped inside and came to the bedroom. Zhang Yuan was still wearing the clothes he had on when he met Guo Zheng Dao. He was now lying on the ground, stabbed several times in the back, covered in blood.

The living room was clean, but the bedroom was a little messy, with obvious signs of a fight.

The bedroom window was also broken. The chair and the kettle must have been thrown out from here.

"Brother Hui, what do we do now…" The young man next to him was a little frustrated. He didn't expect that, in the end, the man would be silenced right in front of their eyes.

Kong Zheng Hui didn't speak. Although he was also very annoyed, he remained calm and carefully observed the scene.

First of all, the front door of the entrance was open, with no signs of being pried open. The murderer must have been an acquaintance of Zhang Yuan's, who entered the house normally and met in the bedroom, a relatively private place.

In addition, Zhang Yuan was stabbed in the back, probably ambushed by the other party. But he struggled before he died, fighting with the other party, which caused such a commotion.

The murderer had already run away. They were still one step too late, and the clue was broken.

The young man couldn't help but ask again, "Brother Hui, have we been exposed? We only found out that Zhang Yuan had met Guo Zheng Dao, and he was silenced in the blink of an eye. Something's definitely fishy here!"

Kong Zheng Hui tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Search around and collect everything Zhang Yuan used in the house."

"Okay!" The young man called a few people and began to collect some of the items Zhang Yuan had left behind.

While they were cleaning up, Kong Zheng Hui stood by the corpse, thought for a long time, and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

…

Dragon City, the military dependents' compound of the garrison.

In a clean small洋楼, Yu Ming Yuan was sitting in the living room on the first floor, smoking a cigarette.

Since the incident in Dragon City, Yu Ming Yuan had not gone to the trading company for some time, considering the safety issue. Moreover, he specifically told Wen Xiao Rou to stay in Dragon City for the time being.

The two of them did not continue to live in the Yu family's villa, but moved to the military dependents' compound. The house was provided by Tan Ming Chao.

"Dilingling!"

The mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Yu Ming Yuan put down his cigarette, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately answered the phone, "Zheng Hui? How's your investigation going?"

Kong Zheng Hui hurriedly said, "Ming Yuan, I've got a lead! This lead is really pointing to Gu Bai Shun!"

Yu Ming Yuan frowned, "Why are you always…"

Kong Zheng Hui's tone was a little excited, "Listen to me! I'm not targeting him! It's just that I found this lead! I was about to catch the person, but the other party was faster and already silenced him!"

"What do you mean silenced?" Yu Ming Yuan became more and more confused, "Where are you now?"

Kong Zheng Hui said simply and clearly, "I'm in Dragon City now! Just now, the other party had a firefight with my people in order to silence him. As soon as the gunshots rang, the Whole Bureau and other forces must have been alarmed! I can't protect this situation alone. Ming Yuan, you have to help me now and quickly bring people over to protect the scene!"

Without waiting for Yu Ming Yuan to agree, he rattled on, "This is Hongshan Town on the outskirts of Dragon City, Unit 1, No. 120 Tuanjie Road… The closest to here should be the 144th Regiment of the An faction garrison!"

Hearing Kong Zheng Hui say these words, Yu Ming Yuan also reacted, his face a little grave, "Are you sure this is the lead?"

Kong Zheng Hui said loudly, "I've been investigating for several days, of course I'm sure! As long as you bring people here to protect the scene, everything will be clear! Remember, it must be people from the An faction, and they must be people you can trust. Don't notify anyone else!"

Yu Ming Yuan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ming Yuan thought for a moment and called Liu Hong Xu, giving him the address.

After explaining, Yu Ming Yuan reminded, "Go there immediately. Kong Zheng Hui found a lead there. Remember, don't notify Gu Bai Shun first, and don't notify the Whole Bureau either."

Liu Hong Xu's voice was calm, "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Ming Yuan sat on the sofa, thought for a long time, and was still a little worried, so he called his brother-in-law, "Ming Chao, lend me your guard platoon! I'm going out of the city for something!"

Tan Ming Chao agreed without thinking, "Okay! I'll have them pick you up!"
