Chapter 454: Vague Disquiet
This mission was nearly successful.
By the afternoon, news finally came from the prison that Wang Hong had died.
The county magistrate personally led people to investigate. If the burly man died abnormally, there must be some hidden story.
The White Tiger Squad, who have completed their goal, gathered at the inn, unable to conceal their joy. However, the mission is not over yet, as there is only one link left to go.
Wang Hong’s death caused a stir in Mingyue City.
For the common people, getting rid of pests brought stability; for the county magistrate, he lost a subordinate who worked in secret.
Without Wang Hong, there was no one to help him deal with those people he disliked but was unable to deal with personally.
For this purpose, he needs to find new candidates to avoid future troubles.
Although Wang Hong acted recklessly in Mingyue City, causing complaints from the people and giving the county magistrate a headache, in his eyes, the help Wang Hong provided far outweighed the chaos he created.
Wang Hong's mysterious death made the county magistrate furious, and he vowed to find out the mastermind behind it.
Otherwise, no one would dare to serve him in the future...
The White Tiger Special Forces stayed quietly in the hotel, planning to stay there until late at night, and then leave Ming City quietly and return to Fenghua Mountain.
The police chief of this modern city has begun to investigate the case. Forensic examination shows that the victim died of poison, and it was not an ordinary commercial toxin, but a carefully prepared strong poison.
This conspiracy had to be thoroughly investigated to find out who dared to provoke him and murder such an important subordinate.
Of course the police chief's first suspect was the bar that delivered food to the prison, so he immediately rushed there with his men.
The bar owner was terrified at this moment, worried that the tragedy was caused by food problems, and that the victim was the director's confidant.
His life might be derailed because of this. Not only his career would be in jeopardy, but his life might even be in danger.
Even though the bar made little profit, at least it provided him with a peaceful place to live. Why would the owner be willing to give up that stability for a life in prison?
Two newly hired waiters disappeared after the incident. It was obvious that they were the masterminds, but he could only blame himself for taking in two guys of unknown origin just for the sake of a small profit.
Ultimately, the responsibility lies with him.
There is no point in investigating the cause now; the key is to come up with a plausible reason in order to get rid of the police's suspicion.
After the accident, he had already arranged his subordinates to use threats and inducements to unify their statements.
So, when the police chief came, everyone kept the truth to themselves and told carefully fabricated stories.
After fooling the police chief, the bar owner felt relieved, but he forgot there were witnesses.
The soldier had noticed two new waiters when he was delivering food earlier, and his memory of their conversation was particularly vivid.
The sheriff, who was at his wits' end, returned to the prison and got the clue from the guard. He flew into a rage and immediately arrested all the people in the bar and interrogated them harshly.
It was late at night when the boss finally gave in and confessed everything.
The sheriff did not wait long and immediately ordered someone to draw a sketch of the suspect. Knowing that the murderer had not yet escaped from Ming City, he immediately ordered the city gates to be blocked and patrols to be stepped up, planning to launch a large-scale manhunt in the city tomorrow.
However, a search of this scale could not trap the White Tiger Special Forces. When night fell, although additional sentries were added to the city walls, they still used their own skills to leave the city safely.
The excited special forces members returned to Fenghua Mountain and, regardless of their fatigue, were eager to tell Feiyu about their experiences.
But they did not expect that a new trial was waiting for them in Fenghua Mountain.
After a long journey, the special forces team finally arrived at the foot of Fenghua Mountain.
Looking at this familiar land, they were filled with excitement.
"Boss, should we wait until dawn at the foot of the mountain or climb the mountain right away?"
"Let's set off right away. We are so familiar with the mountain trails that there won't be any problems."
"That's right, I can't wait to show our secret skills to the brothers!"
Seeing the enthusiasm of his teammates, Bai Hu agreed: "Okay, let's go up the mountain."
With the captain's permission, everyone looked at each other excitedly and then started climbing.
The mountain road leading to Fenghua Mountain is extremely steep. In order to keep it secret, the old boss deliberately preserved the original mountain road to prevent the court from knowing the specific location of the mountain stronghold.
Therefore, until today, the citizens of Ming City and Langya only know the name of Fenghua Mountain, and no one knows its exact location.
This shows how secretive Fenghua Village is.
Although it was dark and the road conditions were difficult to find, the White Tiger Special Forces knew the mountain roads very well and traveling at night was no hindrance to them.
At the beginning of the climb, one of the team members suggested: "Boss, some of our brothers are on the late shift, let's go up the mountain secretly and don't alarm them.
At dawn, I will quietly surprise them and see their faces, haha! "
"Captain, that's a good idea.
Our groups have been training hard for so long, but they always laugh at us for being so small in number and having to act sneakily.
Now we can finally fight back! "
Hearing about the team's high morale, Baihu was also delighted.
So, the White Tiger Special Forces put what they had learned in training into practice, blended into the night, disappeared into thin air, and quietly went up the mountain.
They moved forward silently, trying their best not to disturb their brothers on duty.
When they were halfway up the mountain, one of the team members slipped and injured his leg.
In the dead of night, no one could see the road clearly, the team was silent, and only two members helped him along...
Bai Ze felt a vague sense of uneasiness, but couldn't find out what was wrong.
This time the route through the city was impeccable, but the permanent roadside guard posts were nowhere to be seen.
It might be that the "Flying Swallow" security team temporarily changed its deployment. Bai Ze secretly comforted himself. He was convinced that his brothers' camouflage skills were almost perfect, and the guards patrolling tonight would definitely find it difficult to detect their presence.
The group advanced steadily towards the top of the mountain until they were not far from the top. The faint light of dawn began to penetrate the sky. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to move forward in the dark like blind people.
Suddenly, a huge net descended from the sky like a ghost, covering the entire Bai Ze team.
The momentary imprisonment made everyone panic and they struggled to break free, but the net seemed to be made of steel and could not be torn apart no matter how hard they struggled.
At this time, laughter came from the top of the hill. The appearance of a group of people broke the silence. "I say, brothers, how could you be so careless? Big Brother just asked us to strengthen patrols in order to give you a surprise, but who knew that we would catch you red-handed halfway!"
Bai Ze quickly recognized that the leader was none other than Xuanwu, the captain of the "Xuanwu Team", and at this moment, the security work of Fenghuo Mountain Area was also under his command.
He never expected that Xuanwu had also learned how to scheme, and even took him into account.
Xuanwu looked at Bai Ze's embarrassed expression and couldn't stop smiling, but still urged his men to release Bai Ze and his team.
With the help of the "Xuanwu Team" members, Bai Ze and others successfully broke free from the giant net. Their anger was replaced by frustration. They could only admit their mistake and understood that this was also the reason why Fenghuoshan sent additional guards, and it was also due to their neglect.
