A powerful opponent makes people despair. Before Chen Mu and Wu Peng could reach any conclusion, Li Luo came in and received another bad news.
"Chen Xiulang was murdered in prison and was brain dead."
Hearing this news, Chen Mu and Chen Mu were shocked. A fourth-level dream master was killed in prison. The implications behind this made him feel frightened just thinking about it.
Wu Peng paced and pondered: "There must be an insider to kill people in prison. Chen Xiulang is a late-level four dream master. If the murderer is in prison, he should be a fifth-level dream master. If he invaded with the help of dream power seeds, To kill someone in a dream, you need to be at least mid-level five.
In the entire Dream City, I know most of the Dream Masters above the mid-level fifth level. Almost all of them have reputations and status, so what reason would they have to get involved? "
After finishing speaking, Wu Peng suddenly raised his head when he thought of something: "Muzi, please look after Yiyi for me. I'll go back to the guild."
Chen Muche was delighted: "Uncle Wu has any clues?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'll know when I get back. By the way, my nanny is on leave today. If I come back late, you can make dinner and you don't have to wait for me."
"Okay, Uncle Wu, leave early and come back early."
In fact, Chen Mu did not want to get involved in the case anymore. From the moment he was arrested, he was willing to reconcile with the secret forces. Not because of fear, but because I don't want to cause trouble.
He already knows the terrifying energy and methods of the other party, and even the imperial agencies have been infiltrated. He will never believe that there is no involvement of Mengdu Gao. Now he just wants to clear Li Luo's suspicion and escape from the whirlpool of the unnatural situation.
"Brother Muzi, shall we go out to eat?"
As soon as Wu Peng walked away, Wu Yizhi leaned in front of Chen Mu with a smile on his face and almost pulled him away by dragging his arm.
Chen Mu had no choice but to point at Li Luo and explain: "There are bad guys outside arresting Sister Li. Let's eat at home."
"Ah? Isn't the beautiful sister a policeman? She's wearing police uniforms, shouldn't she be the one catching the bad guys?"
Li Luo was so amused that he bent down in front of the girl and rubbed her head and said, "It's mainly because I haven't been to Yijia before, sister. I want to taste how delicious the food at Yijia is?"
"It doesn't smell good, really, it doesn't smell good at all."
"Yiyi, this is the first time Sister Li comes here. How can she drive away guests?"
"Then Brother Muzi, please marry her quickly, and we can go out to eat together in the future."
Chen Mu felt a little embarrassed and angrily hit the girl on the head and entered the kitchen: "You guys have fun, I'll cook."
"There's really nothing good to eat. How about, Sister Li, let's order takeout?"
"Okay, sister hasn't had takeout for a long time."
"Okay! I'll take some, I'll take some, let Brother Muzi pay."
Li Luo finally figured it out. The girl looked cute and had a lively personality, but she was not a well-behaved and obedient child.
In fact, Chen Mu had a headache about the girl in front of him. He had had a headache since he was in high school in Zhengjing. This girl has a talent for being troublesome and annoying, even when she is still crawling on the ground.
However, after all, looking at the little sister who has grown up, the concern in my heart is true. It’s been a long time since I took the other person out to play, so there’s nothing wrong with letting him do whatever he wants for once.
"I'll make a phone call and ask Sister Li to check it out."
"Do you still need to check? Everyone is ordering fairy food."
Wu stared at the screen with disdain without looking up. After Chen Mu finished speaking, he went upstairs on his own. He didn't dare to use the communication equipment on his body. Fortunately, Wu Peng had a spare mobile phone at home.
Li Luo didn't follow. She roughly guessed that Chen Mu was going to ask about the situation in Jiangnan.
Soon, Wu finished at one o'clock and handed the tablet to Li Luo for inspection. He did not forget to interrupt and said:
"Hey! Sister Li, isn't my brother Muzi handsome?
Let me tell you, I highly recommend the ladies who write love letters to him. I have written them all. You're lucky you got him. "
Li Luo was surprised: "How old are you this year?"
"I know what you mean. I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore, okay? I wasn't seven years ago."
"fourth grade?"
"Yeah, you can't cancel this. This is a beauty food. I still need it to become beautiful. When I grow up, I will be more beautiful than Sister Tianzhu, just as beautiful as Sister Li."
Finding that the verbal interference was useless, Wu Yi anxiously wanted to grab the tablet and replenish the dishes. Li Luo looked carefully and realized how good the little girl was at telling lies. She even said that the high-energy dessert was for beauty.
"Okay, I won't cancel. You ordered too little. I'll just add some dishes."
Of course, Li Luo would not have trouble with a little girl. After ordering, Wu Yi urged her to pay quickly. It's a pity that she can't make purchases online now, so she has to choose to pay on delivery.
"Brother Muzi, come here quickly, the story of Scar Wolf and Yang'er begins."
Seeing Chen Mu going downstairs, Wu Yi hurriedly locked the screen and excitedly pulled Chen Mu to sit on the sofa. Then he pulled Li Luo over and sat in the middle.
Wu Peng didn't know what he had done. After waiting for the takeaway for half an hour, he still didn't come back. Chen Mu couldn't get in touch with him on the phone. Unable to withstand Wu Yi's pleading, the three of them kept Wu Peng's share for dinner first.
After discovering the junk food hidden in the dishes, Wu Yi was inevitably criticized by Chen Mu, but she didn't care and enjoyed the meal very happily.
At nine o'clock in the evening, it had been four or five hours since Wu Peng went out. Chen Mu forced Wu Yi to go to bed on the grounds that he had to go to class the next day, and returned to the living room to worry about Li Luo.
"Still can't get through?"
"No one answered."
Li Luo frowned when she heard this. From the moment the secretary-general died, she knew that the forces behind it were not simple. Now that I think about what Wu Peng seems to know, I can't help but have a bad feeling in my heart.
"Give me the phone and I'll contact my mother."
Chen Mu handed over the phone, but before Li Luo dialed, someone called.
"It's Uncle Wu's number."
Chen Mu happily answered the call, but as soon as the other party spoke, his face turned ugly.
"That's it, otherwise, all your friends are next."
"Sorry, you made a typo..."
Without giving Chen Mu a chance to talk, the other party ended the call after speaking.
In the quiet living room, the two of them felt heavy. Especially Chen Mu. Although Wu Peng is not related to him by blood, he is as close as an uncle and nephew, and he has cared for him a lot since he was a child. If the other party really had an accident because of him, how could his conscience be at ease?
"Mu, don't worry, I'll find someone to ask."
"No, not yet. This phone number should be monitored and you can't contact it. There is a stun gun on the bedside table on the left side of Uncle Wu's bedroom. You go get it. I'll go to the guild to take a look. You take care of them one by one."
"I will go with you."
"Luoluo, listen to me. If Uncle Wu has an accident, Yiyi will become an orphan. I need you to protect Yiyi. And you are still wanted, so it is inconvenient to show up."
Li Luo's heart trembled slightly. She saw the remorse in Chen Mu's eyes, bit her lip and followed her boyfriend's decision.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
The seriousness of the matter exceeded the two's imagination. It was impossible for Chen Mu to watch Wu Peng take risks for him and remain indifferent. Li Luo didn't stop him. He couldn't help but kiss goodbye when he was sent out. He watched Chen Mu drive away before turning around and locking the door.
Chen Mu was not Li Luo. Apart from Wu Peng, he had no more high-level connections in Mengdu that he could use.
Chen Mu drove Wu Peng's car in a hurry, and the smart access control automatically let him go. There was no one in the guild at night, so he rushed to Wu Peng's office without even parking his car.
The door of the office was ajar. Chen Mu walked in and turned on the light and saw Wu Peng lying on the table as if sleeping.
"Uncle Wu"
Chen Mu approached and pushed the person, but when he couldn't stop shouting, he still tried harder. When he saw Wu Peng's face, his expression changed greatly and he was shocked.
——The incandescent light made Wu Peng's face very pale. The seven holes were bleeding in clusters, and his eyes were wide open, looking extremely scary.
For a moment, Chen Mu's heart was struck like thunder, his mind went blank, and he couldn't believe it for a long time. What followed was endless anger, clenching fists, and he didn't consider rationality or the best choice. He just wanted to grab the culprit and break him into pieces.
Before this, Chen Mu had always felt that the empire's laws and the efforts of countless law enforcement officers were enough to protect the vast majority of citizens from living a stable life. Including himself, he felt that running a dream interpretation house would be enough for a dull life. But now he knows that he was too optimistic.
First it was Jiang Nan, then himself, then Li Luo, and now Wu Peng. Just while investigating the case, his acquaintances and friends were threatened and framed one after another. These events gradually subverted his understanding of the situation in the empire.
If before, he was still willing to retreat and reconcile with his enemies, now, these thoughts have completely changed. Instead, there is unyielding revenge.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how deep the enemy is hidden, no matter who the enemy is. Chen Mu promised the other party in front of Wu Peng's body that the enemy would be brought to justice.
No longer hiding or evading, Chen Mu took out his ID card and turned on his phone. A call was made to the Grand Elder of the Royal Dream Master Guild.
Within an hour, the person in charge of the Mengdu Police Department received urgent news: an inspection team would be sent from Zhengjing, requiring their full cooperation. The Bureau of Unnatural Nature also received an order, and Zhengjing dispatched a serious crime team to investigate a serious dream murder case, specifying that Chen Mu should join...
That night, when the Dream City was completely silent, in a dream that outsiders had no way of knowing, a group of dark figures gathered and conspired.
The total area of this dreamland is only fifty square meters, and it is just a dark room. In the room was a large circular table, around which a dozen or so people were chatting.
"I received news that Zhengjing sent a serious crime team to Mengdu to investigate. The team leader is Chen Tianxiong's protégé. I estimate that it is probably because of Wu Peng's matter. Then everyone stopped taking action, leaving behind tonight Internally cleared.”
"No. 1, don't worry, we have taken care of these things. We did not expect Chen Xiulang's death, otherwise the matter would have ended with him."
"Hmph, what did I say before? Wu Peng can't die. You just don't listen. Now it's okay. The imperial envoy is here."
"Unless Wu Peng dies, we are all in danger of being exposed. There is nothing to argue about. The purpose of the above is obviously to flatter Chen Mu. He has been detained by my people. We are all in the same boat. Now we are discussing how to Solve the problem."
"Gee, what's there to discuss? Why don't we just keep our tail between our legs and let Chen Mu go? If they can't find any clues, can they stay here forever? I hope they can go back earlier this time."
"Everyone should think about it carefully and see if there is anything we missed."
Everyone thought about it and finally came to the conclusion: everything is done.
"Then let's do this for now. Before the crime team leaves, no one is allowed to get into trouble. I fall asleep at twelve o'clock every night and exchange intelligence to understand the dynamics of the crime team."
"no problem"
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
As the words fell, the dark shadows in the dream gradually disappeared. Obviously, this is a dream used as a secret platform.
