Chapter 182

Having photos from the scene.

Meant they could retrieve the image data of those few people, which was the best thing for the police officers.

"Regarding the specific situation of the case."

Li Luo withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice into the microphone: "Please take the police notification as the standard. Thank you all!"

He pursed his lips, walked off the podium, and left the conference room directly.

There was another burst of frantic photography, and through the gaps in the hospital gown, some reporters captured the bandages wrapped inside and a little bit of scarlet bloodstains.

These photos confirmed that Li Luo was not as relaxed as he appeared.

"Li Luo is not in serious condition."

"Accepting an interview in a hospital gown, bloodstains still visible on his body."

"No response to the behavior of using heavy strikes."

News articles appeared one after another on various portal websites, but what attracted the most attention from netizens was still Xinlang Entertainment; the various blurred photos made them feel incredibly satisfied.

Never expected.

That an actor would actually give them a real-life fight.

Although it looked tragic, it didn't affect their mood to watch the excitement at all. Even though it was almost 2:00 AM, the heat on the internet hadn't diminished in the slightest, and various discussions were in full swing.

"Li Erpeng is being investigated by the police at his home, suspected of being related to Li Luo's attack."

Another headline completely ignited the heat.

Everyone still had the previous war of words fresh in their minds; they didn't expect it to be involved in this kind of thing again. Tens of thousands of mice clicked on the headline heavily, and the photos inside were quickly refreshed in front of everyone.

A few police officers stood in front of a villa door.

And Li Erpeng.

Stood inside the door with a look of astonishment on his face.

A simple photo made countless netizens reach a climax.

Conspiracy theories often have the most market; otherwise, nonsense like the Bermuda Triangle, crop circles, Mayan crystal skulls, the Loch Ness Monster, etc., wouldn't have so many believers.

For a time, rumors of paying for murder spread rapidly.

Li Erpeng realized something was wrong and immediately contacted a familiar reporter to issue a statement, stating that this incident had nothing to do with him and that he was just cooperating with the police investigation earlier.

And he expressed his well-wishes to Li Luo against his will.

Hoping he would get better soon.

He had to respond; otherwise, if the yellow mud fell into his crotch, it would become shit even if it wasn't!

His classmates also received the same treatment.

No way around it.

Involving guns in this kind of place was too serious in nature.

The police officers couldn't care who the other party was; anyone with a motive had to be investigated one by one.

They had to figure out the accomplices and the source of the weapons as soon as possible.

Inside the hospital.

The department head and the vice president comforted Li Luo a few words and left without staying long.

Only Professor Huo Xuan, Wu Yu, and the policewoman remained in the hospital room to accompany him. Because of the day's tossing and the effect of the anesthesia, Li Luo fell into a deep sleep after dozing off on the bed for a while.

Seeing him like this.

Wu Yu wiped her moist eyes and buried her head in organizing the luggage.

She didn't know what to do, but she just wanted to find something to do; otherwise, the time was too hard to endure.

"Xiao Yu."

Professor Huo Xuan saw her like this and said softly: "You should sleep for a while. It's enough for me to watch here. Don't take this matter to heart; Li Luo is as strong as a cow."

"He'll be fine after resting for two days."

"I should have left with the boss at that time."

Holding Li Luo's underwear and toiletries, Wu Yu sniffed and said in a muffled voice: "If it weren't for being alone, maybe those kidnappers wouldn't have dared to have any ideas!"

"Hmm."

The policewoman heard this and couldn't help but say: "Do you think those people's guns were afraid of you, or were their knives afraid of you?"

"Sorry."

Realizing that her words were a bit heavy, she shook her head and said: "I didn't mean that; I just wanted to say that if Li Luo still had to look after you, the situation might have been even more serious than it is now."

After dropping a sentence, the policewoman hugged her chest and looked at the person lying on the bed.

Replaying the scene slightly in her mind.

She felt that even if her captain had dealt with this situation at the time, he would probably have suffered a big loss.

Not only did one need to be extremely vigilant.

But one also had to be ruthless.

When she took combat classes before, the instructor asked what the best way to deal with a knife-wielding thug on the street was if they were ordinary people.

A group of students talked all at once about how to deal with the thug, each one looking like a martial arts master.

And the instructor only had one word.

"Run."

Amidst the students' surprised expressions, the instructor emphasized again that as ordinary people, they should run as fast as they could.

He showed them photo after photo of crime scenes.

To prove to them.

How foolish the idea of dealing with a knife-wielding thug with bare hands was.

All that stuff about disarming someone with bare hands.

All that stuff about attacking the enemy's various vital points.

None of it was as good as running.

The situation Li Luo faced at the time left him nowhere to run; using ruthless force was the only choice, and it was fortunate that this guy was decisive enough; otherwise, it wouldn't just be a simple knife wound now.

Following her words, the hospital room became quiet.

And on the other side.

The entire Chaoyang Branch was operating at high speed.

First, they ruled out the suspicions of Li Erpeng and Wang Xuebing, then went to the Xinlang headquarters to take away all photo and video data, and summoned the two gossip reporters to the bureau.

Under Xinlang's strenuous efforts, they barely managed to keep some copies of the materials.

Even so.

The police officers still issued a warning.

If they dared to release any videos or photos that were too explicit, they would be responsible for all consequences themselves.

At the same time.

The vehicle information was also obtained.

After comparison.

It was discovered that the car owner was named Wang Lihua, and he was the same person as the man with the crew cut captured in the videos and photos.

Without much effort, they discovered that the other party had a criminal record.

Belonging to the category of personnel released after serving their sentence.

Based on the information above, Director Zhao quickly made deployments. Police cars rushed toward Wang Lihua's residence. Following the sound of the door being broken, a large group of police officers swarmed in amidst the woman's screams.

After a search.

In the other party's residence, they found one shocking weapon after another.

Which made cold sweat break out on Director Zhao's back.

He immediately conducted a surprise interrogation of Wang Lihua's woman. Based on the clues provided by the other party, the police cars scattered in all directions with even more rapid speed; everyone involved had to be arrested and brought to justice.

On the hospital side, the three main culprits were also successfully resuscitated.

Once their consciousness recovered.

Interrogation experts took turns.

The incident had such a bad influence that the case had to be solved as quickly as possible to regain some face.

Sleepless all night.

The violent institution fired on all cylinders for eight hours with remarkable results. When the sky brightened, one piece of information after another was quickly summarized in Director Zhao's hands, and the context of the entire incident gradually became clear.

It was also at this time that the incident completely fermented.

Morning news.

Reports about Li Luo's attack were endless, and various speculations were flying everywhere.

The edited videos and photos.

Were released online by Xinlang.

Although the mosaics were heavily added, the bloody scenes and brutal fights still attracted the attention of countless netizens.

"Holy shit, please allow me to use these two words to express my mood."

"Is it confirmed to be Li Luo?"

"It's him; the outfit he's wearing is the one he wore at the awards ceremony. There's no doubt about it."

"I heard there were guns too. Is Li Luo okay now?"

"I don't know if those action stars can fight, but I can confirm one thing now: Li Luo is definitely a fighter. I don't think anyone would question that, right?"

"Holy shit, this elbow strike."

"Did you see the teeth flying? Isn't Zhang Wuji too good at fighting?"

"I always thought the behind-the-scenes footage filmed before was acted out, but it seems it wasn't."

"Will it involve serious injury?"

"Actually, I think Li Luo could have let them have one more leg."

"Is the person above still whipping the corpse???"

"What's the situation now!!! Urgent, urgent, urgent!!!"

"Li Luo really has guts. If it were me, I would definitely run as far as I could in this situation. Do you think if he filmed an action movie, it would sell out?"

"I'd definitely be the first to buy a ticket."

"Seconded."

Amidst these discussions, the door to the hospital room was also quietly pushed open.

After a night of rest, Li Luo's spirit had recovered quite a bit, and he was eating breakfast with Wu Yu's help.

The wound was a bit itchy and painful.

But it was still better than being caught and locked up somewhere unknown.

"Director Zhao?"

Seeing the few people walking into the door, Li Luo cast an inquiring look.

"The situation is clear."

Zhao Qiang shook hands with Professor Huo Xuan and said with a tired voice: "The people involved in the case have basically been captured. I came over to tell you the general situation. Also, see if you can cooperate with us to hold a press conference at noon."

"The public opinion online is very high right now; it's better for us to let the storm settle down as soon as possible."

It was indeed high.

Just during this morning period.

Li Luo's phone kept ringing, and saying the same words made his mouth dry.

They were all familiar friends asking about his condition.

In addition, the speed of the police's actions made Li Luo feel slightly surprised. He didn't expect the matter to be investigated clearly in just one night, but after thinking about it, he felt it was perfectly normal.

The kidnappers had already been beaten into the hospital by him; the next step was nothing more than investigating their identities clearly.

See if there were any accomplices.

The Chaoyang police officers weren't just sitting around either. Even without the cooperation of the neighborhood committee aunties, for them, one night was enough to turn this kind of thing upside down.

He naturally had no objections to the other party's request.

This kind of thing.

There was no need to publicize it too much.

Listening to Zhao Qiang's account, the mouths of the few people in the hospital room opened wider and wider, and Li Luo also appeared extremely depressed.

Time came to noon.

Cars whistled and drove to the Chaoyang Branch.

Reporters wearing work badges carried long lenses and short cannons and ran inside in a hurry. The incident happened only last night, and they said they would hold an official press conference today at noon.

Many people couldn't believe their ears when they received the news.

The corridor was crowded with people, and various discussions were constant.

"Everyone."

The door to the press hall opened, and a police officer said in a deep voice: "This is the police station, please keep quiet. Next, enter the venue in the corresponding order. Thank you."

This uniform was still quite intimidating.

Dozens of reporters outside the corridor entered the press hall in an orderly manner.

The vertical podium was empty.

Instead, a few tables were set up in front, mysteriously covered with red cloth.

Warning tape was pulled up around the tables, and a few people were guarding them.

Attracting the curiosity of all the reporters.

Once they were all prepared, Zhao Qiang, wearing a neat uniform, walked into the press hall from the side door and came directly behind the vertical podium: "Good afternoon, reporter friends."

"Next, I will report to you the situation regarding last night's shooting incident."

"If you have any questions."

"Please raise them later."

Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Qiang opened the folder and said in a steady tone: "Early this morning, our bureau received a relevant report and quickly dispatched police forces to the scene to control the order."

"After investigation, the situation is as follows."

"The criminal gang led by Wang Lihua intended to kidnap an actor surnamed Zhang for extortion."

"But accidentally encountered Li Luo."

"Wang Lihua then decided to change the target and took two subordinates to pose as police officers to carry out a kidnapping plan against Li Luo. After being seen through by Li Luo, a physical conflict broke out between the two sides."

These few sentences made the reporters' jaws almost drop.

So Li Luo was just an unlucky guy. The robbers were after someone else!

This really wasn't expected.

"At the scene and inside nearby vehicles."

Zhao Qiang looked around at the reporters and continued to say: "We seized two imitation Type 54 pistols, several bullets, five daggers, hemp ropes, iron chains, hand grenades, and other tools for committing crimes."

As the voice fell.

A police officer lifted the red cloth on the first table.

The pitch-black pistols, the daggers with bloodstains, and the grenades with the fuses removed appeared before the reporters' eyes.

Inside the press room, it was as if a flashbang had been thrown.

Instantly exploding with dazzling light.

The reporters picked up their cameras and frantically photographed those crime tools one by one.

Once they settled down, Zhao Qiang's voice was slightly higher: "After a night of efforts, the Chaoyang Branch has captured all the remaining people involved in the case, and the interrogation work is still in progress."

"In Wang Lihua's residence, a large number of lethal weapons were also searched."

"Hunting knives, hunting rifles, bullets, grenades, etc.!"

The red cloth on the other table.

Was also lifted.

As long as they were all caught in one net, these were all merits.

Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Looking at those hunting rifles and the dense bullets, the reporters were so excited that sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they pressed the shutters even more urgently. They were definitely hardened criminals, and Li Luo was able to escape from this group of people.

He really had a big life.

The reporter who wanted to ask about whether the self-defense was excessive also suppressed his thoughts at this time.

Facing this level of thugs, no counterattack was too much.

"The identities of the robbers have all been identified."

Zhao Qiang turned to the next page and read into the microphone: "All of them have previous criminal records. Next, we will dig deep into the existing clues and will not let go of any criminal."

"That's the situation."

"As for Li Luo, the police noticed some remarks on the internet."

"Facing the threat to his life, he bravely chose to fight against the criminals. There is no issue of excessive self-defense. On behalf of the Chaoyang Branch, I express my apologies for his encounter last night."

"Wishing him a speedy recovery."

Changing the subject, Zhao Qiang raised his hand to signal to the side.

A figure flashed, and Li Luo, who had changed into a suit, walked out from the side with a smile, waving to the reporters.
