Chapter 162: [144-145] Executioner approaches, kill without error (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_2
“When did you get back? Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet.”

“You didn’t even say a word when you got back. I’ll go cook something then.” Mother Pei said, putting down her bag and hanging up her coat before hurrying off to the kitchen, mumbling about what food was left in the house.

“Mom, make less, there’s some meat I brought back in the kitchen—a stir-fried dish will do,” Jinye said from the sofa, poking his head out.

“Got it.”

Carrying his coat, Father Pei sat down and grumbled, “I really don’t know what’s wrong with the traffic department, always closing the roads.”

“What happened?” Jinye asked, puzzled.

“Looks like some mess happened again, no idea what those law enforcement agencies in Da Peng City do? They go after criminals every day, but I’ve never seen them catch anyone…” Father Pei muttered.

Jinye cleared his throat.

 

Night fell.

Gloomy clouds enveloped the last traces of moonlight.

Unknowingly, a light rain began to fall from the sky.

Jinye stood in front of the window, fiddling with the Silver-White Small Sword.

Killing Xie Zuxin was a gamble for him.

Da Peng City had lost too many elites in quick succession recently; this was sure to attract attention from up high.

Whether it was Zhao Qianfeng from Judgement Place earlier, or Wei Xianren who was currently under evaluation, it could be said that Judgement Place had lost three people in Da Peng City within a month.

Now, a high-ranking middle-level chief from the Investigation Team had also died in the assassination.

It wasn’t hard to imagine the scrutiny Da Peng City would face going forward.

 

City Hall.

Even at this late hour, Zhou Weiren had not yet stepped out of his office.

It was past one in the morning.

His hair was a mess as he finally left the office looking extremely tired, his tie crumpled from being fiddled with time and again.

The long-waiting Secretary Lin quickly stood up to greet him, “Governor!”

Zhou Weiren raised his hand to cut him off, “No need for comforting words. The higher-ups will send a special inspection team down here. We just need to do our own jobs… man makes history, after all.”

Secretary Lin bowed his head, “Understood.”

 

That night.

The law enforcement machinery of Da Peng City started to move.

It was one thirty in the morning.

Jinye was woken up and summoned back urgently.

Without disturbing his elderly parents’ rest, he left quietly.

 

When Jinye arrived at the Investigation Team, fully armed soldiers were deployed in a ten-kilometer radius around it.

He swiped his ID card and walked into the base.

He soon reached the area for Team Two.

“The chief was assassinated…”

“The top brass are furious, demanding a thorough investigation. Two hours have passed, and we still haven’t found a trace of the killer!”

“Who could it be?”

“In Da Peng City, who else could be so bold, if not the Old Gods Association?”

“The people from the Old Gods Association are getting more and more brazen!”

“Well, they have the confidence… Look at the last capture operation, we had seventy-nine casualties, and only managed to kill four of their members. I heard two of them were even taken down by the rookies from our team.”

“Shh, stop talking. Do you know if any leaders are coming today? Don’t grumble idly!”

 

Jinye stood at the back of the crowd.

He noticed the expressions of schadenfreude on many faces.

There were also a few who looked as mournful as if they had lost their own parents.

Jinye knew these were the ones who used to suck up to Xie Zuxin the most, almost worshipping him as an ancestor.

Now with Xie Zuxin gone, they had lost their biggest backer… One by one, their faces turned pale, as if terrified of being settled with, clearly having done many conscienceless things, relying on their relationship with Xie Zuxin in the past.

 

Suddenly, a voice came from not too far away.

“Teams Six, Seven, and Eight, gather up!”

A wave of people shifted.

Those from Team Two looked up.

Jinye saw Brother Kui, but didn’t spot Gu Wutong; he had no idea where that kid was goofing off again.

Before long.

Qiu Hezi appeared with a stern-looking middle-aged man at Team Two’s assembly point.

The stern-faced man clapped his hands, “With the approval of our superiors, Qiu Hezi will be your acting team leader for Team Two from now on. Qiu Hezi, it’s over to you for the specifics of the mission.”

“Yes, Director Wang.”

The stern-faced man hurried off with his entourage towards the assembly point in Area C.

Qiu Hezi looked at the members of Team Two and pressed his hands down to say, “I deeply regret Chief Xie’s unfortunate death, but now is not the time for us to grieve. According to reliable information, the suspect in Chief Xie’s murder was spotted in North Qing District… Our task is to assist in the sealing and try to catch the killer.”

 

In the crowd.

Jinye looked puzzled.

What the hell?

North Qing District was so far away; he certainly hadn’t gone there idly.

This time, he didn’t know which good Samaritan had voluntarily taken the rap for him.

 

“Move out!”

The young team member assigned to work with Jinye in the afternoon.

“Did you go to the scene?”

Hearing the question, Jinye shook his head, “Not yet.”

“They say it was an Element Series… tsk.”

Jinye was about to leave.

Suddenly, Qiu Hezi received some instruction and turned back to say, “Jinye, stay back a moment.”

Jinye stood in place again.

The young team member beside him looked at him suspiciously.

Qiu Hezi mumbled something in Jinye’s ear, and then Jinye nodded and headed off towards the administration building, leaving the team.

 

Jinye didn’t expect the person wanting to see him to be Secretary Lin.

Secretary Lin had picked a remote spot.

Upon seeing Jinye arriving, he hurriedly said, “Jinye, the Investigation Team isn’t safe either after Xie Zuxin’s sudden death… Do you want to pull out?”
