"what?"
"Xuezhi has a bicycle, but it doesn't belong to her. It belongs to the owner of a repair shop on the outer ring of Longmen. I've investigated carefully, and she doesn't know where the bicycle came from or how it ended up in her possession."
Lin Yuxia frowned: "Are you sure the bicycle belongs to the repair shop owner?"
"Of course, I've confirmed it. The bicycle was severely damaged, but luckily the license plate was preserved. I went to the vehicle management office in Lungmen to investigate, and the person who registered the bicycle was the repair shop owner. Speaking of which, you two from Penguin Logistics, do you know him?"
Exusiai looked at Texas.
The Luper looked like he was recalling something: "I know a lot of repair shop owners, which one are you talking about?"
“Mike Ann”.
"he?"
"It's actually him?"
Lin Yuxia also looked incredulous: "How could it be him?"
Sitting next to her, Lao Li asked curiously, "Miss Lin, do you also know this car repair shop owner?"
"Do you remember Hollande? That young man from the Capone family?"
"I remember, she's the one I slashed and sent to the hospital." Texas said these terrifying words with a straight face.
"I have it too."
Hoshiguma laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and then offered it to Texas, but the Lupo refused.
"You've stopped smoking?"
"I quit."
"Alright."
Hoshiguma took the cigarette out of his mouth, put it back in the cigarette case, and said to everyone with a smile, "After Hollande's incident, I went there to investigate. I made a blunder and arrested him twice, only to find out in the end that the whole thing had nothing to do with him."
"Is this related to him?"
"do not know."
Mostima asked in disbelief, "You didn't know?"
Lin Yuxia shook her head and added, "Inspector Hoshiguma is a veteran investigator. If she doesn't know, it can only mean that Mike Ann is really suspicious."
“Ms. Lin, you misunderstand. I’m not saying he’s suspicious or that he has a problem, because this matter really has nothing to do with Mike Ann, but there’s no way to explain the fact that his bicycle was at the crime scene.”
Hoshiguma paused here, noticing that everyone was still watching her, so she had no choice but to continue.
“The day after the incident, we contacted Mike Ann, who was on vacation and did not know how his bicycle ended up in Xuezhi’s hands. He said his bike was parked at the door and he didn’t know how it disappeared. There were no surveillance cameras in the area, so they could not find out its whereabouts.”
Little Liboli said timidly, "Is it possible that I took the bicycle with me while I was sleepwalking?"
"If you know how to unlock a car, that's certainly a possibility, but do you think it's you?"
Snow Pheasant quickly shook its head.
Although she was a top student in mechanical engineering, asking her to unlock a bicycle was an impossible task, as her major was not relevant to her field and she was completely unfamiliar with it.
Lin Yuxia suddenly remembered something: "Did you ask An Suo?"
"I don't know where An Suo is these past few days."
“Strange, I haven’t found her either. Well, we can’t draw conclusions about Mike Ann right now. He could be a victim, or he could be hiding something. But this is the Guard Bureau’s job, so I won’t get involved.”
Hoshiguma found Lin Yuxia's statement strange, but she still said, "Mike Ann runs a car repair shop on the outer ring road, so it's inconvenient for our people to investigate him. We have to ask Miss Lin for help with this. If you find anything unusual about him, please let me know in time."
Lin Yuxia thought for a few seconds, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, and said reluctantly, "I will keep an eye on him for you, but don't expect too much. Assuming he is really a highly skilled master, my people would just be easy prey. My personal suggestion is to treat him like an ordinary person, just like before. Maybe he is just an ordinary person and we are overthinking things."
"Okay, I'll do whatever Miss Lin says."
They then discussed some other things.
……
Outer ring road of Longmen.
The box truck struggled to a stop on the side of the road.
As Mike got out of the car, the two young men walking in front of him looked at him with trepidation.
“Shorty, you walk in front. If there’s any commotion, I’ll stab this guy in the back.”
The tall man felt the screwdriver pressed against his back and was terrified. This guy was really crazy; he hadn't given in the whole way. He was incredibly stupid to try and negotiate with someone like this.
The three men proceeded cautiously, and their unusual situation was noticed by other gangs who were keeping watch.
However, such things are common in the outlying areas of the outer ring road. Some people even laugh and shout in strange tones, asking if they have offended someone they shouldn't have.
After a round of questioning in the car, Mike figured out what was going on with the two men's boss.
A few days ago, their boss was in a car accident in the city and broke his leg. It was a stroke of luck, but the driver in the driver's seat died as a result.
The Ursus man was so frightened that he quickly found a fortune teller and spent a lot of money to have his fortune told. The divination indicated that he should stay at home and not go anywhere in order to escape with his life. If he dared to go out, he would die a violent death.
So the boss, who had broken his leg, stayed home to recover. His men had no choice but to honestly collect protection money and do some side jobs. After a few days, people started to feel uneasy and gossip, saying that the boss was going to run away with the money.
These two idiots happened to be looking for some extra money on the outer ring road of Longmen. When they saw the van parked on the side of the road, they had the idea of taking it to the used car market to sell it.
If it were just that, Mike wouldn't have taken it so seriously, but the tall man revealed a message while speaking.
When the Ursus people were in a car accident, Hoshiguma, the second-in-command of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, was among the police superintendents in charge of rescuing the injured. Hoshiguma even said something to the seriously injured boss, roughly asking if he had been in contact with the Ursus people recently.
The eldest brother was so scared he almost choked and quickly answered no.
The problem lies here.
The tall guy was cornered by Mike in the car and told everything to save his life. It was true that the incident happened, but he didn't know the specifics.
Mike scratched his head, wondering why he had to run into this kind of thing. Could he just abandon it?
Definitely not.
After his close encounter with Texas, he discovered that being an ally of justice wasn't such a bad thing.
They followed the two men to their gang's base, a rather old two-story building in a very typical Ursus style, with rough lines and a huge exterior, easily accommodating a hundred or so people.
But now a small accident has occurred.
43. I need to pay more.
The old walls were covered with many incomprehensible and complicated symbols. Gang members who were supposed to live inside the building had pitched tents outside, surrounding the building.
What's even more concerning is that the doors and windows of the building were all boarded up, leaving only one passageway for entry and exit.
Mike looked up and noticed a terrified look coming from the second floor.
At the same time, the gang members noticed Mike approaching and gathered around with their weapons. One of them, a middle-aged man named Felin, even pointed a pistol at Mike's head.
"How could you two bring strangers into the camp?"
Mike shoved the tall man aside, raised his screwdriver, and said rudely, "I'm your honored guest, is this how you treat your guests?"
"I have never seen a guest come to a host's house in a threatening manner."
"Family?"
Mike repeated the description given by the Philim, spread his arms, and spun around in place, completely ignoring the gang members surrounding him.
"This is Longmen, the land of Yan Kingdom, the territory of Lord Wei. How dare you say this is your home?"
Unable to tolerate the man's madness, the man shouted, "Stranger, state your intentions! Don't try anything funny. Do you want to outrun a bullet?"
Mike smiled and said, "Sure, go ahead and try it, but I guarantee you'll be the next one to die."
The tall man who had been threatened by Mike earlier shouted from the crowd, "He's a lunatic, be careful!"
The dwarf has disappeared somewhere.
"what happened?"
The gang's second-in-command still didn't understand what had happened.
Mike spoke up first: "Your men stole my car and told me not to hold it against them. I've decided to come over as a guest. Is there a problem?"
Car theft?
The second-in-command immediately understood, turned around, grabbed the tall man, slapped him across the face, and said fiercely, "I told you to be careful during this time and not to run around. How dare you go to the outer ring to steal a car?! Where is the car?!"
The tall man stumbled and fell to the ground after being hit.
Mike pointed outside: "The car is on the roadside about 200 meters away. You should still be able to see it if you go now. I can't guarantee it won't be stolen by other gang members, since it's a bit chaotic around here."
His tone made it sound like he wasn't talking about his car at all, and recalling the tall man's earlier comment that he was a madman, the gang members present felt a chill run down their spines.
A madman is much harder to deal with than a normal person, and things could easily go wrong.
"So what do you think should be done?"
"Apologize to me."
The tall man covered his face and argued, "I didn't steal your car. How can borrowing be considered stealing? You left the car keys in the ignition!"
Mike nodded, acknowledging the tall man's statement, but then suddenly struck, slapping the tall man across the face again and knocking him to the ground. He roared, "Do you have a place to interrupt when adults are talking?!"
The second-in-command's temples were bulging with veins. He was either a madman or a provocateur. He pressed a gun against Mike's head and roared back, "You still dare to play the fool here!"
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back and realized that the screwdriver in the man's hand had somehow gotten stuck in his clothes and was pressing against his lower back. If it had gone in directly, he probably would have lost his kidney.
"Don't move, calm down, and speak properly."
The surrounding gang members hurriedly shouted.
Who should calm down?
Mike used his other hand to push aside the second-in-command's gun and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I heard there was a little accident here."
He pointed to the two-story building that had been sealed off.
"So?" The second-in-command's forehead was beaded with sweat.
Mike put away the screwdriver: "I'm here to help. I can solve your problem as long as you can name your price, but your people offended me before, so you'll have to pay more."
The second-in-command took a deep breath. The course of events today was completely out of his control. The other gang members were also confused. This man's personality and way of speaking were too unpredictable, and it was difficult for ordinary people to keep up with him.
"What do you want to do?"
