Chapter 19

You can resist the Patrol Bureau with strictness, disguise, and deception, and roam free outside the law.

After all, no matter how black they are beneath official skins, they still wear skins and must maintain a human appearance.

But against the Black Gang, the above lines of thinking are all courting death!

Because the process of mixing in the Black Gang is the process of stripping off skins; the higher one mixes, the cleaner the human skins and face skins are torn off, leaving only the bloody, beastly appearance.

And beasts value intuition, follow the primal and instinct, just like a dog's nose catching a scent — the more you run, the more it chases, until it bites you or bites you to death.

Against people, one can choose to play mind games of hide-and-seek;

Against beasts, one can only go white knife in, red knife out.

Although Feng Mu watched few Black Society movies, he understood this shallow principle.

Because all Black Society movies, stripping away educational significance, actually tell the same story — suppressing violence with violence, repaying blood with blood.

After Feng Mu returned to his room, he did not immediately cultivate the Body Forging Exercise, but sat at his desk, took out paper and pen to sort out his train of thought.

The deceased Zheng Hang's father — a Green Wolf Gang leader, the chief culprit who clung to the case and refused to let go.

That day at the crime scene, a suspected second-in-command figure — looked quite brainy; was it he who formulated the suspect list scope?

The hooligans at the school gate, the content of the list in their hands?

The Patrol Bureau Captain at the crime scene, allowing the Green Wolf Gang to investigate like this — a slap in the face, wasn't it?

Whether the Zheng Hang case is concluded, the Patrol Bureau's follow-up moves?

Wang Wei's mother died in the hospital, the impact on the whole matter?

……

Because he didn't know the names of these figures, Feng Mu could only use some indirect appellations to mark them on paper.

A quarter-hour later, Feng Mu heavily marked eight crosses after several names in succession, and a plan outline vaguely took shape in his heart.

"I have no ability to stop the Green Wolf Gang's investigation; after all, paternal love cannot be blocked — this problem has no solution, so I can only solve the person who creates the problem."

The order in which Feng Mu circled and marked names on the paper was his problem-solving steps.

A knock on the door interrupted Feng Mu's train of thought; Mother Wang Xiuli called him out to eat.

Feng Mu answered, habitually tearing the paper to pieces and swallowing it down with iron beads and water into his stomach.

During the meal.

Feng Mu asked casually: "Dad still not back? This case has dragged on long enough."

Seeing Feng Mu rarely show concern and ask about his father, Wang Xiuli happily revealed everything she knew.

She said: "It should still take some time; not just your dad, they say most of the Patrol Bureau's manpower has been deployed to City West, they've already got leads, estimating in another two weeks they'll be able to catch people."

Feng Mu chewed his rice and asked again: "The person to be caught, is it that whatever 【Destiny】 my sister mentioned?"

Wang Xiuli had no secrecy awareness either, or rather, the Patrol Bureau was originally a place with many people and mixed eyes, leaking everywhere.

Wang Xiuli replied: "Mm, seems they've locked onto the tracks of four or five people; if they catch them all, the whole Patrol Bureau can claim a great merit."

Feng Mu licked his lips: "Already locked onto people, why not close the net and arrest them?"

Wang Xiuli: "They say there might still be a Contact Person not exposed, waiting to fish for a big fish; I didn't quite understand either."

Feng Mu's heart suddenly turned cold, and he thought again of the system's daily prompt 【Reward Sent, please check】.

He drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat: "This organization is extremely vicious; does the Patrol Bureau have confidence in catching them, won't there be danger?"

Wang Xiuli's face also showed threads of worry, but she still smiled: "Should be no problem; from what I hear in your dad's words, this operation the Patrol Bureau has quite a large grasp."

Feng Mu's heart sank again, but his face remained unchanged as he oh-ed, cleaned out the rice in his bowl, then returned to his room.

Locking the door behind him, Feng Mu stuffed iron beads into his mouth while pondering: "The Patrol Bureau is so confident; those 【Destiny】 people are eight or nine parts done for."

"Hope there isn't a delivery courier who brings me packages inside; there shouldn't be, right~"

Saving people from within the Patrol Bureau's encirclement — Feng Mu knew he didn't have that much ability, so he simply didn't waste thoughts on it and began the Tempering Exercise.

Sleepless tonight, staying up late grinding until dawn.

Feng Mu pressed off the bed-calling alarm clock, accidentally denting the watch case in.

He immediately reacted, examining his right hand; a gloomy coolness traveled down his arm, passed the elbow, invaded the wrist, eroded into the fingers, unknowingly enveloping his entire right hand in a cool breeze.

"Right Hand Iron Transformation complete!"

Feng Mu's eyes brightened; he subconsciously swung his right arm, instantly feeling the whole arm heavy as if filled with iron.

Pulling back his sleeve, comparing both arms, visibly the right side was a circle thicker than the left; five fingers rubbed hard, emitting creaking sounds, his palm skin and flesh rubbed raw by himself.

Feng Mu gripped the alarm clock; since it was already dented, he no longer held back and suddenly exerted force; in a flash, the tin alarm clock was forcibly crushed into an iron lump.

Feng Mu released his hand; his palm skin reddened, showing several bruises.

Good news: Right Hand Iron Transformation complete, strength greater;

Bad news: Iron Transformation only acts on bones, flesh still doesn't match, will injure himself.

"Of course, bones iron-transformed into one body, the flesh's recoil injury is lighter than that day's punching, because iron bones can bear and share more recoil force."

Feng Mu pulled his sleeve back to cover his arm, right hand reached into pocket gripping the knife handle, mind calculating,

"Looks like I need to find some Iron Sand Palm or similar martial art; before that, things a scalpel can solve, don't use fists."

…….

Going out, cycling to the Incineration Plant.

Upon entering the Incineration Room, Wang Jian hurried over, speaking mysteriously: "Let me tell you, this morning when I went out on the road, I was stopped by Green Wolf Gang people."

Feng Mu's pupils shrank slightly: "Oh? What did the Green Wolf Gang stop you for?"

Wang Jian's expression was strange: "Inexplicably asked me where I was and what I was doing on the night of the 15th; I was startled at the time."

Feng Mu feigned puzzlement: "What about the 15th?"

Wang Jian scratched his head: "I was also puzzled, but his face was full of ferocity, so I told him I was on night shift at the Incineration Plant on the 15th; he asked who could testify, I said several night shift workers in the factory all saw me."

Wang Jian didn't wait for Feng Mu to speak, and lowered his voice: "On the way here, I kept pondering this matter, seems it let me think of something; you remember, a few days ago you told me about the school death incident."

Feng Mu nodded: "What's up?"

Wang Jian looked left and right, confirmed no one was around, and lowered his voice: "Heard the dead one is the Green Wolf Gang Boss's son."

"Ah?" Feng Mu feigned surprise, "That's not right. I saw it at the scene. The dead one was a female classmate."

Wang Jian took the rumor he'd heard from who knows where, added his own subjective speculation, and earnestly explained it to Feng Mu.

"Not only that, a male student is also missing from the scene. That's the Green Wolf Gang Boss's son. The Patrol Bureau has determined he's the murderer and issued a Wanted Order, but the Green Wolf Gang Boss doesn't accept it. He thinks the murderer is someone else, that his son was killed and went missing."

Wang Jian let out a cold laugh, Xin Ji giving his conclusion.

"As I see it, the Patrol Bureau hasn't wronged anyone this time. The Green Wolf Gang is putting on a show for people to watch. His son has definitely been hidden away by him."

Feng Mu narrowed his eyes, didn't expect Wang Jian to be quite reasonable, smiled: "I think you're right."

Wang Jian showed off his IQ, expression smug.

Feng Mu turned and asked: "Just asked you two questions and let you go?"

Wang Jian's gaze was slightly evasive, said: "Also asked about my surrounding classmates, whether anyone's been acting abnormal recently. I said I've already dropped out, how would I know these things."

Wang Jian lied. He was very flustered during the interrogation back then, and to escape as fast as possible, he could only cough up a classmate's name.

Feng Mu detected Wang Jian's words flickering, his heart sank slightly.

Wang Jian felt guilty, hurriedly changed the subject, and dropped another heavy bomb: "Feng Mu, you watch out these two days too. I saw the Green Wolf Gang holding a list, with your name and avatar on it."

Wang Jian paused, added a sentence: "Not just you. Luo Ji, Tao Fei, Sun Yi... seem to all be on the list."

Feng Mu's face showed just the right amount of gravity: "Understood."
