Chapter 607 Shifting the Blame

The vehicle the perpetrator was in has been found, but the matter is not over yet.

To prove George's crimes at Hammill Company, they still need to find the perpetrator.

It would be best to capture him alive.

If the mastermind is indeed George from Hammill Company, given his financial power, the perpetrator must have already been hidden.

They may have already been murdered to silence them.

In this situation, finding the perpetrator in a vast sea of ​​people is a difficult problem to solve.

It requires a lot of time and manpower. Fortunately.

The injured person this time is of high status and has caused quite a stir.

Within Jiangcheng City, many people also wanted to seize this opportunity to make a name for themselves in front of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service and Mayor Wang.

As Ye Shaohong's order was relayed, both the legitimate and criminal factions in Jiangcheng immediately sprang into action.

The patrol officers and thugs on the street were also helping Ye Shaohong find the perpetrator.

Although there was no news yet, the power of the masses was immeasurable. In less than two days, new information was delivered to Ye Shaohong's desk.

"Has the perpetrator been found?"

"Alive or dead?"

Looking at Li Yunlong standing before him, reporting the investigation results, Ye Shaohong asked the question that had been nagging at him: "Dead!"

"This morning, we received news from farmers outside the city that the perpetrator had been found in a ravine near Shilizhuang."

"He had been dead for several days when he was found."

Li Yunlong has been very busy lately. On one hand, he secretly dispatched people to monitor the suspected Japanese spies in the brothel, and on the other hand, he mobilized the visible and hidden sentries on the streets to find the assassin who killed Mayor Wang.

Constantly searching for hidden information amidst true and false intelligence.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for two whole days.

Now, as he came to report the news to Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong's face looked rather pale, and his eyes were even rimmed with black.

He also seemed very listless when responding to Ye Shaohong's questions.

Even so, Li Yunlong's words still subtly revealed a hint of anger. Clearly.

Li Yunlong was well aware of how important this matter was to Ye Shaohong.

A subject who dies for his lord's dishonor must give an explanation.

"It was expected."

"In Iron City, they've also been searching for the perpetrator these past two days. They've searched every hospital, clinic, and black market doctor in the city."

"They are also secretly monitoring the use of anesthetics and sulfonamides."

"Perhaps the mastermind also sensed the danger, so they had no choice but to kill to silence him."

Ye Shaohong was not surprised by the result. He tapped the table lightly with his hand while thinking about what to do next.

To be honest, with the perpetrator's death, this case has reached a dead end.

The only clue they still have is George, who is suspected to be the mastermind.

But George is a Bald Eagle.

In China, he enjoys criminal immunity. Even if the investigation finds that he is the mastermind behind the case and solid evidence is found, Ye Shaohong and the Special Service will not be able to arrest him.

They could only submit the findings and evidence to the U.S. embassy.

Let the bald eagle decide this matter itself.

But what's the point then?

If the bald eagles were to decide this matter themselves, given their usual behavior, they would definitely protect their own people.

By then, the evidence that Ye Shaohong and his team painstakingly found will become a joke. They will have to swallow their anger.

"Webmaster!"

"or……."

Perhaps sensing Ye Shaohong's awkward situation, Li Yunlong thought for a moment, but in the end he couldn't help but open his mouth and tentatively speak.

"How about we do something else?"

"Do you intend to secretly kill George of the Hammill Company?"

"Yes."

"I want, too!"

“I don’t want to hold this grudge either, but your approach is a last resort. The situation isn’t beyond resolution yet.”

"Therefore, I do not want to carry out this kind of secret execution."

Ye Shaohong raised his hand, interrupting Li Yunlong's request to join the fight, and then stood up. "Come on, let's go to the hospital!"

"Let's go see Mayor Wang again."

This was Ye Shaohong's decision after careful consideration.

Since their investigation methods have encountered insurmountable difficulties, why should he continue to make things difficult for himself?

He can find help.

Whether Mayor Wang admits it or not, Ye Shaohong and his team have already done a lot.

Within two days, they found the perpetrator's body and the vehicle used on the day of the assassination.

The identity of the mastermind behind the scenes has also been roughly confirmed.

He could then pass the buck on to Mayor Wang regarding how to make the next difficult decision.

That old man never told him the truth from beginning to end.

Didn't he say that he hadn't offended anyone? He even suspected that his assassination attempt was due to Ye Shaohong's involvement, an undeserved misfortune.

fair enough.

Ye Shaohong could tell Mayor Wang the complete situation he had investigated, and let him handle and resolve it himself.

They're just passing the buck.

Ye Shaohong understood this essential survival rule in the officialdom during the Republic of China era.

By leaving the trouble behind, he could hide in the shadows and continue investigating the matter, uncovering its secrets.

Of course, there is a downside to what he did.

That is, he will inevitably offend Mayor Wang and become his enemy.

But Ye Shaohong no longer cared.

It was clearly impossible to make him take the blame. Ye Shaohong wasn't familiar with Mayor Wang, nor was he his biological father. Why should Ye Shaohong take the fall for him? With this thought in mind, Ye Shaohong, along with Li Yunlong, quickly arrived at Jiangcheng City Hospital.

In the intensive care unit, he met Mayor Wang once again.

Compared to the previous two days, Mayor Wang looked more energetic today.

When Ye Shaohong stepped into the ward, he saw fruit baskets and gifts from many people.

Beside Mayor Wang's hospital bed sat a pretty young woman of seventeen or eighteen.

The beautiful woman was feeding Mayor Wang, who was lying in a hospital bed, sugar water.

When Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong knocked on the door and entered, the pretty young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old beside the hospital bed merely raised her head and glanced at the two of them.

He then silently pursed his lips and ignored them.

"Ahem!" "Xiao Juan, let me introduce you. This is Ye Shaohong, the new station chief of the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service Department."

"He is a rare young talent."

Mayor Wang naturally saw Ye Shaohong and Li Yunlong as well. When they entered, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his old face.

He first coughed softly.

Then he struggled to sit up, a smile on his face, and with a friendly demeanor, introduced Ye Shaohong's identity to the pretty young woman beside him.

After seeing Ye Shaohong nod in response.

Mayor Wang then looked at the pretty girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"This...this is my friend's niece."

"She's also my adopted daughter!"

"Station Chief Ye, you can call her Xiao Juan, or Juan'er...!"
