Chapter 1522: And with the Forensic Doctor, a Little Sweetness 35

The City Criminal Investigation Team suddenly began a vigorous investigation of all security and cleaning personnel near the victims.

This change left other departments in the bureau somewhat puzzled, but they still fully cooperated with the progress.

At the same time, Jin Chen also knew that once the eyes were dug out, Gu Huan or people like the Rose Ghost Butterfly would certainly learn the news quickly.

Thus he repeated his old trick, announcing in front of many people that he would go investigate the old site of Qinghuan Mental Hospital, and even proclaimed that he would send the toughest member of the Criminal Investigation Team.

This time, more police cars left the bureau in a throng, and even the SUVs were nowhere to be seen.

"They really found the old site." Gu Huan's office door was pushed open by a middle-aged man who resembled him somewhat, his eyes looking even more fierce.

Gu Luming stood by the desk, hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Our eyes are also gone."

"Don't worry."

Gu Huan posted another message, feeling quite pleased with himself as if victory was already in hand.

"Earlier, those police from the bureau stayed quiet for nearly a week, and in the end they only found the old site of Qinghuan Hospital." Gu Huan rubbed the gun in the drawer, and behind his lenses his eyes flashed with charming danger.

"That Jin Chen has repeatedly tried to suspect me, but he can't produce any evidence."

Gu Luming indeed felt much more at ease: "Exactly, the whole investigation has been led by us; it's impossible for them to uncover so much in the end."

"Just the things in the archives—have you taken care of them?"

Gu Huan: "At worst we'll blow up those cops together, reduce them to ashes, and no one will ever find them."

"There's a bomb." Outside the eavesdropper, Jin Chen pressed the earpiece communicating with Yi Tian: "Have the bomb disposal squad rush to the old site of Qinghuan Mental Hospital and coordinate with our people."

"Understood!" Yu Jue and Ke Xiu were already ready to be dispatched at any moment, and they rushed out of the office.

Jin Chen sat in a black car so low-key that you wouldn't notice it at a glance, playing with the walkie-talkie in his hand.

As expected, a moment later Gu Huan's voice came through: "The cops are heading your way—get ready to receive them; the followers will rush over to help you."

Duan Xiao Bai held his breath, looking at Jin Chen, and quietly gestured to his teammates waiting behind the car, ready to drop at any moment.

Jin Chen curled his lips and responded in an old man's voice: "Received, I'll go notify right away."

Duan Xiao Bai's gesture instantly dropped, and three team members reached out from upstairs into the gallery.

"Action." Jin Chen pressed the earpiece again.

As soon as the words fell, the criminal investigators disguised on the east and west sides of the gallery swiftly charged in with guns, while Duan Xiao Bai and Yi Tian each led a team to assault from the two sides.

"It's dangerous inside, wait for me to come back—" Jin Chen's warning to Wu Lin in the back seat was still unfinished when he saw Wu Lin open the door and get out, hurrying after him.

"Wu Lin! Listen."

Wu Lin turned to look at him, pursing his lips stubbornly: "Jin Team, we don't have time to argue."

Jin Chen gritted his teeth, pulling him along as they walked inside: "Stay close to me, don't fall behind."

By the time Gu Huan in the basement realized something was wrong upstairs, the thugs guarding the door had already heard footsteps—clearly they were well-trained cops.

"They're cops!!"

"Damn it, aren't they supposed to go investigate the old site?!"

Gu Huan stood up, unable to contain his anger, his face changing drastically: "It seems we really overlooked those cops' tactics."

He coldly glanced at the second mass suicide post that had gotten no response, unable to tell whether the problem lay in the drug's control over the followers' nightmares or whether it was the work of those cops!

"What do we do now? I've already sent the thugs and the followers staying here upstairs, but they definitely won't hold out long unless we abandon this place right away!"

Gu Luming rushed in, and suddenly amid the chaos he saw Wei Yan looking lost and helpless, his eyes lighting up instantly.

"You quickly take the core stuff and go; I have a hostage in my hands!"

Gu Huan's eyes shifted; seeing Wei Yan's fragile helplessness as Gu Luming grabbed him, and his struggle to come over.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up! We absolutely cannot fail at the last moment!" Gu Luming urged, the dark muzzle pressing against the back of Wei Yan's head.

Gu Huan gritted his teeth, took the items, and left through the underground secret passage under the protection of the followers.

Wei Yan finally glanced in the direction he left, then closed his eyes.

A bullet suddenly shot up from the stairwell, but it was too late; Duan Xiao Bai and Yi Tian almost simultaneously rushed in, and the thug's bullet went wide.

"Don't move!"

"You're not allowed to come in! Otherwise I'll blow his head off with one shot!"

Yi Tian and Gu Luming's angry shouts rang out almost simultaneously.

The presence of the hostage made both sides visibly halt their advance, only able to guard the stairwell entrance.

The remaining followers emerged numb and expressionless from the rooms where they had been confined, like wandering souls; Duan Xiao Bai even saw several victims of recent missing-person reports.

They surrounded Gu Luming, like his guardian ghosts, encircling him with their mortal bodies; their numb, gloomy eyes burst with killing intent, resentfully gazing at the police who wanted to rescue them.

"Get out of the way!" Duan Xiao Bai shouted angrily, "He's the one who wants your lives!"

"I originally wanted to die myself; it's you meddling in my affairs!"

Immediately a follower retorted, every word filled with resentment toward the police: "You're blocking my path to seek death!"

Duan Xiao Bai: "……"

Up to now, the hardest part of the case has always been the controlled victims.

"Jin Chen sir, finally meeting you."

The protected Gu Luming still hadn't loosened his restraint on Wei Yan, sneering as he watched Jin Chen gradually approach, along with the youth behind him.

"And you, Wu Lin."

Jin Chen shielded Wu Lin behind him, saying, "You're so ugly, you probably aren't a Rose."

Gu Luming's eyes filled with hatred: "No matter who I am, in these people's eyes you are just the roadblock ghosts hindering their happiness."

"Let me tell you good news." Jin Chen opened the monitor for him: "The bomb at Qinghuan Mental Hospital won't be detonated; all your deeds will be exposed to the world."

"Wei Yan, come back."

Gu Luming's chest was suddenly struck by an elbow; having no defense against Wei Yan, he winced as his back bent, his whole body nearly folding over.

"You!"

The followers were shocked and rushed over to check on his safety.

Jin Chen coldly announced: "Fire!"

In Gu Luming's incredulous horror, the police all opened fire on the followers protecting him!
