Chapter 272: The Mastermind

"Oh?!" Although he was mentally prepared, hearing Wu Haibo say it out loud, Luo Fei was still shocked!

His shock was understandable. A cadre within the system, a traffic police brigade captain, who could threaten or order him to shut up? The answer seemed very simple!

"Who?" Luo Fei pursued.

Wu Haibo pursed his lips tightly, thought for a while and said: "That pickup truck had already been parked there ten minutes in advance. The position I stopped at could completely monitor the situation at the intersection."

Seeing that he was answering the wrong question, but said the time the pickup truck appeared, Luo Fei knew that he must have mastered some evidence, so he asked: "Do you have evidence in your hand?"

Wu Haibo nodded: "The surveillance at the intersection had problems that night, but the pharmacy at the intersection installed a surveillance camera itself, and that video is in my hand!"

This sentence brought a huge impact to Luo Fei. He suppressed his excitement and said: "Where is the video? Didn't you think about retrieving the pharmacy's surveillance when you handled the accident?"

"I retrieved the pharmacy's surveillance myself. You know, I was the primary person responsible for that case, so in the case file, I didn't mention that the pharmacy's surveillance could see the road in front of the door."

"Why?" Luo Fei asked. He had an answer in his heart, but still hoped to hear Wu Haibo say it himself.

"I knew that once the pharmacy's video was known to others, it wouldn't exist anymore. So I secretly copied a copy, and took the opportunity to check the pharmacy's surveillance equipment to delete this video from the hard drive!"

After Wu Haibo finished speaking, he took out a small cloth bag from his close-fitting pocket. After carefully opening it, a black USB flash drive appeared in the cloth bag.

"Captain Luo, I know your relationship with Director Gu, but so many years have passed, I don't know if there is any significance?"

Hearing the implication in his words, Luo Fei doubted: "What do you mean? Who was the person who instructed you back then? Why didn't you say there was a problem with the car accident back then, but wait until now?"

He remembered that after the Chang brothers and the Zhang family siblings were caught, their protective umbrella, the Municipal Bureau's top leader Guo Shuqing, was also arrested according to law. And the person who instructed Wu Haibo must be someone else! Who could it be? Was it someone with a higher rank than Guo Shuqing?

Wu Haibo smiled miserably, seemingly guilty, seemingly afraid, and said in a low voice: "I will take the responsibility I should take for the mistakes I made. Whatever punishment you give me, I will accept it! As for that person, I won't say it even if I die. You check it yourself!"

Luo Fei said: "Why? If so, you can completely choose not to tell me about the matter back then!"

Wu Haibo looked at his eyes, his expression complex: "I have my difficulties, although my time is running out, I still have children..."

"Then have you considered Gu Team's mood when he lost his wife and children back then?"

Wu Haibo was speechless for a while. He clenched his fists, seemingly making a great determination. Halfway through, he sighed and said: "The USB flash drive is for you. You can use this as a reason to overturn the conclusion back then. As for the responsibility I should bear, you handle it according to law! As for the others, I have nothing to say!"

After speaking, his eyelids drooped and he didn't speak anymore. Seeing his firm attitude, Luo Fei knew there would be no results for a while, so he reached out to take the USB flash drive and got up to leave.

Back in Tang Xiaofeng's tobacco and liquor store, the old man surnamed Yue heard his words, his eyelids jumped slightly, and he waved his hand: "How you say it is your business, no one can replace it, and if it's not your business, you don't have to be afraid!"

Tang Xiaofeng responded submissively and retreated.

Seeing him go out, the old man took out a phone and dialed a number. After the call was connected, he, who appeared unfathomable in front of Tang Xiaofeng, shrugged his shoulders, and his body had a visible tension: "Boss, I've disturbed your cultivation, there is a matter I'm worried will have an accident..."

After hanging up the phone, the old man let out a breath of relief, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes, which was chilling!

———

Luo Fei opened the USB flash drive file, only to see the heavy rain pouring in the night in the picture, and a pickup truck parked on the road in the rain. Looking at the time displayed in the picture, it was exactly ten minutes before Fang Jie's accident. Luo Fei froze the screen and zoomed in on the front window, but couldn't see the appearance of the driver inside.

But as time passed, ten minutes later, the traffic light at the intersection ahead changed from red to green. From the intersection in another direction, a green taxi stopped steadily at the red light.

The next second, the pickup truck that hadn't moved suddenly turned on its headlights, and the car let out a low roar and rushed toward the intersection quickly! And the target was clearly that taxi!

After the loud noise came out, the pickup truck actually backed up dozens of meters, then hit it again, pushing the taxi to the isolation belt in the middle of the road until it was blocked by a thick ginkgo tree and stopped!

Although it couldn't be seen clearly through the video whether the driver was Tang Xiaofeng, it was very obvious that this was not an accident, but a murder that couldn't be more obvious!

Luo Fei smashed his fist on the table! "Abominable! Simply insane! Immediately! Sun Jiahui! Go and catch that Tang Xiaofeng back immediately!"

Seeing Luo Fei who was in a rage, Xiao Sun didn't dare to speak. Instead, Luo Fei calmed down after his anger and said: "You go and watch that kid, I'll report to Director Gong, apply for a retrial of this case, go!"

———

After sending Luo Fei and the two away, Wu Haibo looked at the time. It was almost time for the appointment with the doctor. He looked left and right, and walked toward the hospital with a slightly tired body.

At almost the same time he met Luo Fei in the small park, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared at his door. After knocking on the door a few times and seeing no response inside, the man took out a key and fiddled with it a few times, and Wu Haibo's door was opened...
