Chapter 215: [179] Blacklist No. 77 Beast Pet Master, Kill! (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions)_3
 

Pei Jinye arrived at the Investigation Team’s Base.

The Pharmacology Department came here to take someone away.

Even before Brother Bi could step in, Pei Jinye stood at the entrance, his aura like a rainbow.

“Scram!”

“You impudent brat—bang!”

Pei Jinye, with his Qi sinking into Dantian, shouted, “Scram!”

…

Whistling sounds came from behind him.

Pei Jinye turned around and saw Gu Wutong appear, with a broad smile and a large saber on his shoulder, “Hahaha brother, you really have a wild way of doing things, you even start hitting those fellows from the Pharmacology Department directly.”

Pei Jinye patted his hands, hands in his pockets, “Just hitting a few rabid dogs.”

“Hahaha well said,” Gu Wutong joined Pei Jinye, and shouted loudly towards the outside mountains and forests, “All of you better not act tough; dare to make trouble again, and grandpa’s saber will slash off your birds!”

“…”

After finishing, Gu Wutong turned his head to look at Pei Jinye, only to notice that Pei Jinye didn’t appreciate his bold proclamation at all and hurried after him.

“Chaotically, wait for me, ah, that’s not brotherly of you.”

“The person is gone, what are you ranting about?”

“You don’t understand, it’s called a show of strength.”

“…”

When Pei Jinye saw Brother Bi again, Brother Bi was looking exhausted, “What about the people from the Pharmacology Department?”

“They left,” Pei Jinye said offhandedly, “You aren’t hurt, are you?”

Brother Bi shook his head, “I’m fine; the people I brought with me did a good job.”

He paused for a moment.

He noticed the figure standing by the roadside with a large saber, and suspiciously looked towards Pei Jinye, “How come that fellow has come again?”

“I bumped into him at the entrance. He’s no trouble,” replied Pei Jinye. “Out of the three people, two are dead. Is the one still alive that kid from before?”

Brother Bi nodded and said, “Yes, but it wouldn’t look good to just kill him straight away.”

Pei Jinye looked up.

But then Brother Bi added, “Don’t worry, his father won’t escape; when we catch him, our Investigation Team will initiate a trial directly, bypassing the Night Patrol Department’s procedures, so there’s no way he’s getting out again.”

Pei Jinye nodded upon hearing this.

He wasn’t too worried about this kind of thing.

Now that Brother Bi had listened to him, he clearly understood that since they had made a move, they couldn’t afford to give the other side a chance to breathe, the perils of “raising a tiger” were clear to him.

Moreover, Pei Jinye was not planning to reveal any other methods of his in this matter, as the Investigation Team’s existing enforcement ability was more than enough.

“Have you been to Zhou Ye’s?” Brother Bi turned his head and asked.

Pei Jinye nodded in response, “I went and checked, he’s fine. He even asked me to tell you to continue taking him on missions later.”

“That kid,” Brother Bi laughed, “Forget about him for now.”

At that moment.

Suddenly, someone came running over, panting heavily; Brother Bi called out to stop him.

The person hurriedly replied, “Something terrible has happened.”

Pei Jinye saw that the new arrival was an old acquaintance… Hu Beng.

However, Hu Beng and he were no longer acquainted, as Hu Beng was nervously staring at Brother Bi.

“What happened?” Brother Bi frowned.

“That kid is dead,” Hu Beng said in a hushed tone.

“Dead?” Brother Bi’s face suddenly turned grim, “How could he die? What exactly happened?”

“I’m not clear on the specifics. Everything seemed fine after the interrogation ended just ten minutes ago, but then, suddenly, the jail cell reported… the kid with blood flowing from all seven orifices, suspected of death by poisoning.”

“Poisoned? How is that possible?” Brother Bi immediately rejected the notion, “I already checked when we captured him; the kid hadn’t hidden any poison on his person at all. Could it be that someone inside wanted to harm him?”

Hu Beng also couldn’t say for sure.

Brother Bi gestured, “Let’s go, let’s take a look.”

Pei Jinye followed behind.

…

Qiu Hezi had already arrived, his face equally grim.

“Seal off the scene. During the detainment period, all personnel who had contact with the deceased are to be interrogated… Retrieve the surveillance footage.”

“Call for the Descriptive Writer!”

Brother Bi stood behind the crowd and quickly joined in the identification work; as a rookie, Pei Jinye stood to one side, assisting and learning.

Half an hour later.

The result was finalized by Xing Tian and announced.

Thus, the “mysterious” death of the prisoner at the Investigation Team’s Base finally came to a close.

…

The incident of the prisoner dying inside the Investigation Team’s Base quickly spread within the base.

At the stairway.

Gu Wutong asked curiously, “Did you find out what happened?”

Pei Jinye looked up and took a sip of water, “It was from fright.”

He had followed the onsite examination.

The young smuggler died of a stroke triggered by fear, with underlying health issues exacerbated by the event… Frankly, such a manner of death had initially led Pei Jin to suspect deliberate murder.

However, since the Investigation Team had already determined the result, he naturally wouldn’t say much more.

“Scared to death?” Gu Wutong mocked, “Dare to orchestrate stabbing and yet afraid of being interrogated?”

Pei Jinye seemed to catch the insinuation in his remarks, looking up, “What are you trying to say?”

“I mean no offense,” Gu Wutong shrugged, “I hope I’m just overthinking it. Heading to the training field to practice?”

“Not going.”

Pei Jinye pulled up his attribute panel.

His Vitality Value had recovered to 35, but his spiritual power was lagging a bit, only at 32.1, so he planned on heading back to make up for it.

Gu Wutong felt it was a pity.

…

About twenty minutes later, Brother Bi contacted him.

“The body has been claimed.”

Pei Jinye kept quiet, listening.

Brother Bi sighed over there, “His father went in too, charged with smuggling and malfeasance. As for the others… superiors indicate we should stop here.”

Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised, “You do what you think is appropriate.”

“Then let’s leave it at that. Continuing the investigation could corner some people, force them into a desperate fight; we’re here for revenge, not to judge corrupt officials,” Brother Bi didn’t continue, changing the topic instead, “Heading back to the city? I’ll give you a lift.”
