Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"Snapped!"

A gunshot rang out from the police station!

This completely alarmed the entire county!

In an instant, lights came on in dozens of houses where people were already asleep, centered around the police station.

Then it spread wildly like a spider web.

There's no such thing as TikTok or the internet these days.

Residents came out of their homes and discussed the matter among themselves.

The gunshots grew increasingly eerie as they were heard!

In the end, there were even stories of murderers breaking into police stations.

But what is the truth?

At the Zhao family's residence, a ringing bell jolted everyone awake.

Zhao's mother hurriedly pushed open the door to the study.

They called out the two night owls who were still talking about the future.

"Old Zhao! Come quick, something's happened!"

"Leave me alone! Can't you see I'm busy here?"

Zhao Kaishan shouted impatiently.

"Old Zhao is in big trouble! Something's happened at the Public Security Bureau!"

After all, Lu Weiguo was with him, so Zhao's mother didn't dare to say what the specifics were.

"Huh? The Police Station? What's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother glanced at Lu Weiguo.

"We're all on the same side, so hurry up and get to the point!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother then said, "Just now, a junior police officer was shot and killed."

"what!"

"What?!!"

The two men inside gasped in surprise.

"Quick, get me some clothes, Xiao Lu, come with me!"

Gunshots rang out in the county town, which was a major event in itself.

The person who died was an internal police officer, which is a huge deal in this era where a death is considered a major incident.

This is an absolutely catastrophic incident!

"Would it be appropriate for me to go?"

Although Lu Weiguo was also curious, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Zhao Kaishan may have only seen the seriousness of the matter.

But after all, they weren't people from within the public security system.

Lu Weiguo had experienced a lot and knew that this kind of thing was not as simple as just one person dying.

If you think about it more deeply, it could even be seen as a provocation against the existing system!

After all, anything associated with "integrity" is punishable by "exterminating nine generations of one's family."

"Come on! What are you dawdling for!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo could only sigh, put on the coat, and the two of them got on their bicycles, pedaling so hard that sparks flew from their feet!

They arrived very quickly.

At this point, the police had been surrounded by all the internal personnel who had arrived temporarily.

No one is allowed to enter.

Zhao Kaishan arrived.

The junior police officer in charge made way for Lu Weiguo, who was closely following Zhao Kaishan.

They assumed he was one of Zhao Kaishan's secretaries, so they let him pass.

Once inside the Public Security Bureau.

Police officer Lao Liu slumped to the ground, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking completely dazed.

On the ground in front of Lao Liu, a figure was covered by a white cloth.

Spots of blood were imprinted on the white cloth.

Just by looking at the mark on the white cloth, it's clear the bullet pierced his forehead; even the King of Heaven couldn't save him.

"Who fired the shot?! Where is everyone?!"

Zhao Kaishan walked into the compound and saw this scene, instantly enraged!

This is a public security bureau. A cadre died, and no one even saw who fired the shot.

The remaining junior police officers remained silent, heads bowed, fists clenched tightly, their hearts filled with anger.

Old Liu wasn't the top police officer; by seniority, he'd be lucky to be ranked third or fourth.

Neither the director nor the deputy director were present at the time.

The scene was bizarre; no one dared to respond to Zhao Kaishan's words.

"What happened to Brother Liu?"

Lu Weiguo quickly walked a few steps to Lao Liu's side.

Carefully remove the cigarette butt, which was about to burn out, from his mouth.

Old Liu was as if his soul had been taken away.

"Xiao Wang is dead."

Old Liu looked up and stared at Lu Weiguo for a long time before recognizing him, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

"Xiao Wang?"

Lu Weiguo was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes widened in shock!

Xiao Wang, one of Lao Liu's apprentices, went up the mountain with me a few days ago.

He always has a smile on his face, and his smile is very sunny.

Especially those bright, piercing eyes beneath that square face.

He looks very upright.

However, being young, he had no say and followed behind Lao Liu, taking care of Qian Duolai.

"Who fired the shot?"

Lu Weiguo's voice grew increasingly somber.

Judging from Lao Liu's state, he couldn't possibly not know who it was.

Moreover, a bold guess popped into Lu Weiguo's mind.

Could it be?

This guy is Zhao Kaishan's contact at the Public Security Bureau.

And his death was entirely the result of his own plan?!

"I...I can't say."

Where are they?

Old Liu trembled all over and stammered out a sentence.

Lu Weiguo asked this question.

"I...."

"Are you even human?! Do you even deserve to be called a human being?! Your apprentice is dead! And you don't even dare to say who shot you?!"

It's fine if they don't dare to speak up, but what's wrong with you? What are you afraid of? Or have you always been this pathetic?

Then why were you pretending to be your mother before?!

Lu Weiguo became increasingly certain of his suspicions.

Anger, resentment!

And there's also the deep self-blame I feel!

"What happened to the police station?"

"I just saw a car drive away? Were all the people taken away?"

"What the hell? Isn't the police station supposed to maintain order? How come they can't even protect themselves? How are they going to protect us?"

"I always told you not to go to the police station if you need anything; you might as well go to the neighborhood committee."

Behind the high walls of the Public Security Bureau, Lao Liu could hear every word of his neighbors' conversations.

Before the reform and change of uniforms, the Public Security Bureau was called the Public Security Station.

Many older people are still having trouble changing their way of addressing each other.

"Old Liu! Did you hear what they said? Is this what you want? What you said on the mountain that night was all bullshit?"

The person's gone? Little Wang is still lying on the ground! Could the killer have left?!?

"Xiao Lu, all you can do is talk!! You don't know anything! The murderer is gone?! He left right under my nose!"

You don't understand? You still don't get it?!

Old Liu was thoroughly enraged by Lu Weiguo's words.

A punch landed squarely on Lu Weiguo's shoulder!

That was a powerful, heavy punch, delivered with full force.

Lu Weiguo endured the hunger by starving himself.

He didn't even sway his body.

"That's it? That's it? If you're so capable, then you try to use your skills on me? What's the use of yelling at me?"

I remember Xiao Wang calling you "Master," right? And your families are quite close, aren't they?

If you're so capable, go talk to his parents and say that your child died in front of you, that you saw the murderer and they let him go.

You don't even dare to say who killed him.

Lu Weiguo stared intently into Lao Liu's eyes.

Those junior police officers standing nearby with their heads down clenched their fists tightly upon hearing this, their hands turning white.

He didn't even notice when his fingernail dug into his palm and dripped blood!

"Lu Weiguo, you're nothing but a coward! Don't push your luck!"

"I forced you?" Lu Weiguo laughed angrily. "Look at him! Look who this is! Did I force you, or are you the dog's ass?!"

"I said it!!"

"I'll say it too!!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, and I know who it was."

Old Liu's face turned bright red from Lu Weiguo's provocation.

But one by one, those young police officers stepped forward.

Even the old man with a cane at the door straightened the red collar.

Stand tall and step forward!
