MWC – Chapter 116 Internal Investigation

I AM DROPPING THIS NOVEL. IF ANYONE WANTS TO CONTINUE THEY CAN. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE SHARE THE LINK SO I CAN BINGE READ TOO.

No. 5 sat trembling behind the table in the new interrogation room.

Across the table were Lu Ming and Cantona.

“Oh, your name is Madis, last name George…” Lu Ming scrutinized him, thinking the name he just provided seemed unlikely to be false.

“Do you know why you’re sitting here, and I’m sitting here?” Lu Ming asked with a smile.

“I know, I know, because we’ve done a lot of bad things, and you, you’re a prosecutor…” No. 5 answered shakily.

“Wrong. You’re sitting here, and I’m sitting here for one reason only. I was supposed to sue Little Renault, representing a customer who slipped on coffee he spilled on himself at Renault’s restaurant. I was looking to claim a few thousand dollars.”

“But, somehow, Little Renault managed to make my client withdraw the lawsuit. The case I spent several days preparing for was gone!”

“That’s why you’re sitting here, and I’m sitting here now.”

Madis looked up in astonishment, and Cantona was also shocked, staring at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming spread his hands, “Whoever makes me unhappy, I will retaliate a hundred or a thousand times over. He wasted my time and deprived me of earning a few thousand dollars, so I became a commissioner and decided to clear out all the radical organizations in Donghai and bring down Renault Films. This makes me feel better.”

“Also, there’s another reason. At the dance hall, he harassed my female companion, which made me very unhappy as well.”

Madis was almost in tears. Just because you couldn’t get a few thousand dollars from him, you set up a task force to wipe out all radical organizations in Donghai and bring down Renault Films?

What kind of background do you have?

As for the incident at the dance hall, I was there. You beat Little Renault so badly he looked like a pig’s head, and he hasn’t even retaliated yet!

You’re simply a madman.

Madis suddenly remembered the terrifying scene just now, shivering immediately. Isn’t this exactly a madman?

His rear suddenly felt cold. If he were tortured to death in the same way, he would rather be sent to the gallows immediately!

Moreover, this madman’s background is too terrifying.

For a few thousand dollars, he could set up a task force in the High Prosecutor’s Office. What kind of powerful connections does he have?!

“Alright, I don’t want to hear your nonsense. Write down everything you know! If what you write is useful, I might suggest a lighter sentence to the judge.”

Lu Ming pointed at the pen and paper on the table.

Madis didn’t hesitate, grabbing the pen and paper immediately and began writing furiously.

Lu Ming and Cantona exchanged a glance. Another one who confessed without needing a plea agreement.

As he wrote, Madis racked his brains, seemingly trying to write as much as possible.

Lu Ming only sneered inwardly. When Bizhu listened to the recordings, this No. 5 was the most brutal in torturing little Martha.

Perhaps because he was too cowardly, he pretended to be strong in front of his accomplices.

He was destined for the gallows.

There was a soft knock on the door, “Commissioner, Prosecutor Wang from the Internal Investigation Division is here.”

“Alright, have him wait a moment.” Lu Ming replied, taking the densely written paper from Madis.

Without needing to be told, Madis wrote in Central Zhou language, and his sentences were extremely fluent. He must have been a top student in school.

“Arrest these staff members from the Saint Anthony Orphanage in New Development District, including the director named Wang.” Lu Ming instructed Cantona.

Madis’ confession revealed many details, including his participation in several pursuits and murders of “prey” and the organizers of these activities, led by someone called “Booker.” All activities, including the hideout in Nampu Town, were provided by Booker.

Madis didn’t know how to contact Booker; it was always Booker who contacted them.

Additionally, Madis disclosed that the Saint Anthony Orphanage in New Development District provided them with high-quality prey, and Director Wang received a large sum of money for each prey.

Looking at the information on Booker, Lu Ming thought for a moment, “Don’t arrest Little Renault yet. Arrest everyone involved in the atrocities on the list, but keep a close watch on Little Renault. Let’s see who this Booker is.”

Cantona nodded, “I’ll go arrange it!”

…

When Lu Ming walked into the “interrogation room,” the scruffy blond man’s body was still there.

Standing in front of the body was a man in a prosecutor’s uniform, back facing Lu Ming, wearing plastic gloves and fiddling with the bloodstained pistol.

Hearing footsteps, the man turned around. He was a very handsome young man.

Before coming in, Lu Ming heard from the task force members that the Internal Investigation Division prosecutor who arrived was named Wang Jingyu, a young deputy chief prosecutor.

“Should I sit there?” Lu Ming pointed at the spot where the blond man and No. 5 had just sat for interrogation.

“No, no, no, Commissioner Lu, we’re just having a casual chat. I will fully trust your statement!” Wang Jingyu smiled.

He kicked the corpse’s leg and shook his head, “These thugs deserve to die.” Turning back with a smile, he added, “Don’t you think so, Commissioner Lu?”

Lu Ming sighed, “Yes, but we should have sent him to court for trial, not let this accident happen. I feel uneasy about this incident.”

Wang Jingyu smiled, “Indeed, it’s too coincidental. The wounds on his neck and the back of his head are fatal. Your gun happened to be there? Bad luck for him!”

Lu Ming shook his head, “He kept grabbing my gun. I didn’t know where the muzzle was or at what angle. I was suffocating and just pulled the trigger randomly.”

“Yes! Commissioner Lu, your neck seems a bit swollen… Let me see…” Wang Jingyu took two steps closer to Lu Ming. Being half a head shorter, he lowered his head slightly to examine Lu Ming’s neck.

Lu Ming tilted his head up, “Really? I applied some medicinal oil earlier. Is it still swollen?”

“Hmm, it seems much better. The medicinal oil is red…” Wang Jingyu smiled again, “Alright, Commissioner Lu, take a few days off. After all, killing someone, especially as a former top lawyer who hasn’t killed anyone before, can be mentally traumatic. Rest for a few days. Don’t worry; I will deliberately delay submitting the investigation report so you can rest a bit longer!”

Lu Ming smiled, “I would like to, but the case I’m handling is at a critical moment. I can’t rest.”

Wang Jingyu smiled at him, “Then, let me help. Using my authority as the independent prosecutor for this investigation, I’ll recommend that you take a few days off. The chief prosecutor will have to listen to my suggestion unless the rules of the High Prosecutor’s Office are mere decorations. The chief must adhere to the rules set by his predecessors, so my suggestion is very effective. This way, you can rest well!”

Lu Ming sighed, “Unfortunately, I’m not an official prosecutor of the High Prosecutor’s Office, so the Internal Investigation Division’s recommendations don’t have binding power on me. Unless the report officially declares me a suspect, prompting an investigation, I won’t be able to rest. Prosecutor Wang, making me a suspect just to give me a break doesn’t seem right.”

Wang Jingyu was stunned, “You’re not an official prosecutor?”

Lu Ming spread his hands, “It’s a bit unclear. You’ll have to ask Chief McKen about my status.”

“Then why am I even here?!” Wang Jingyu rolled his eyes.

Lu Ming was taken aback. This guy, who had been playing a guessing game with him, actually suspected him but was using the most polite language to try and suspend him.

Why did he suddenly seem to be breaking down?

Wang Jingyu looked at Lu Ming, his expression serious, “Commissioner Lu, if you were an official prosecutor, regardless of your favor with Chief McKen, I would uncover the truth. Prosecutors, especially, should not violate the law and carry out extrajudicial punishment! Bringing law-breaking prosecutors to court is also my duty!” Then, he suddenly smiled, “But, since you’re just a civilian assisting us, I have no jurisdiction. Even if you committed murder, we wouldn’t need the Internal Investigation Division to investigate. So, if you did it, well done!” He gave a thumbs up and angrily kicked the blond man’s body again.

With a smile at Lu Ming, he turned and walked away.

Watching his back, Lu Ming was momentarily stunned, then smiled.

For some reason, he suddenly felt as if the sky had cleared up.

This world still has many interesting people and many interesting things. Perhaps, there is light ahead.
