“If there was a need for to forcefully suppress this incident, this would be a completely different matter.” Li Nanheng glanced coldly at the commander’s corpse. He scanned the injuries on the back of the man’s hands and the fatal knife wound on his neck. His gaze was chilly and his voice was thin: “No matter what happens? This Li one feels that this is not all there is to this. I know my own subordinates very well. Since things took a turn to such a vicious conclusion, there must naturally be an even more vicious cause that forced their hands.”
The man shifted his eyes. His handso face appeared indifferent as he scanned all of the furniture in the room. He then glanced toward the obvious patch of blood on the wall by the door.
Everyone paused in their movents when they saw him scanning the place. When Daniken heard his intention to investigate the cause of this matter, his expression faltered.
“This Li one is right here. If anyone intends to pursue this matter, look directly for .” Li Nanheng stood there as though he was mindless of everyone around him. His eyes scanned the injuries on the corpse before he finally furrowed his brows coldly.
To cause Feng Ling to deliver such a fatal blow, to provoke Feng Ling into such an irrational, agitated state; it ant that she had definitely endured much more than being drugged.
That girl was too good at restraining her own emotions; for her to be provoked into such a state ant that there was surely a cause for it.
Li Nanheng turned and his gaze landed on the patch of blood by the door once more. It seed to have been caused by a head wound.
He recalled the blood on Feng Ling’s forehead earlier.
His gaze abruptly turned freezing cold as he turned toward Daniken, who seed slightly evasive: “If there is a cause for this and the cause lays on the army’s head, we will do as you saym we will go by reason and evidence. Let’s carefully investigate the cause of this and understand how exactly the two quietest and least troubleso mbers of our base were provoked to such a state. If the responsiblity only lays on my shoulder, be rest assured that this Li one definitely won’t let them off easily.”
Daniken’s expression was frigid: “Do you an to say that, even if the problem lays on your subordinates’ hands, you don’t plan on leaving them here for our punishnt; you insist on bringing them with you?”
“Feng Ling and K are my XI Base’s people. If they’ve committed a cri, it is my responsibility to personally bring them to turn themselves in, or to receive their punishnts. This will be handled exactly the way it should be handled. How else do you think it should be handled? Regardless of the location, we should have all of the facts before making any decisions. Of course, we can’t let the person who has done wrong off easily, but look at your attitude, it seems like you want to keep them here. Why? You wish to use the death penalty in an important military district?”
Li Nanheng’s voice was not too loud nor too soft. He did not appear arrogant, yet his aura wasn’t lacking in the slightest. His deanor clearly inford them that he was composedly handling the problem, leaving nothing for them to pick at. In fact, his contrasting attitude made Daniken appear excessively angered and flustered.
The distinction between a guilty conscience and genuine composure was far to obvious.
“How do you plan on investigating this? Right now, our commander is dead yet your people are planning to leave completely unhard. The truth is right before our eyes...”
“Wrong. It seems like you’ve misunderstood the aning of ‘completely unhard’,” Li Nanheng glanced at him: “Feng Ling’s head wound and his seemingly drugged, delirious state, you call that unhard?”
Daniken imdiately fell silent. Although the other confused n were naturally biased toward their own people in the military, when they heard these words, they were all stunned silent for a mont. Their dismayed expressions spoke volus.
Could it be that the commander had thoughts about the XI Base’s people and provoked their resistance, causing things to turn out like this?
If that was truly the case and the person-in-charge of XI Base insisted on investigating this, they really did not know how things would turn out.
At this mont, no one dared to speak. They carefully sneaked glances at Daniken.
Daniken’s expression was extrely poor; he never expected that, just by offering Feng Ling to the commander, he would end up taking the commander’s life. Right now he could not take things easy; if this matter was thoroughly investigated, his future would be ruined!
Looking at his clearly flustered expression, Li Nanheng narrowed his eyes dangerously: “The easiest thod to handle an unexpected cri that have no predictable motives like this is to look at the surveillance caras. Let’s look into everything that happened in this place thirty minutes prior.”
Daniken imdiately chuckled coldly: “You wish to look into the surveillance footage? This room was sincerely prepared for Feng Ling and K by our military n. How could we possibly install surveillance caras in this place while they are staying here? This will make us appear insincere. It will also offend your mbers’ privacy. Even if you head to the surveillance room, you won’t be able to find footage for this room.”
“Is that so?” Li Nanheng lifted a corner of his lip, smiling coldly.
Daniken continued putting on an act, sighing to say: “Although we also wish to find out what exactly happened in this room, we can’t conclude that Feng Ling was drugged based on a few words from you, Mr. Li. You say he was wounded, but it sounds to like our Commander may have hurt him when he was acting in self-defense. Right now, your XI Base is trying to deny the responsibility of your own actions without any evidence on your side. The person is already dead and his corpse is right before you. How do you think you can possibly run away from this!?”
“Boss!” All of a sudden, hurried footsteps could be heard. The elite mber who had rushed to the surveillance room charged in with a USB flash drive in his hand. Everyone was completely caught unaware as he quickly opened the laptop he had retrieved from the car earlier and inserted the flash drive into the laptop.
Seeing this, Daniken imdiately shifted his eyes onto the n who rushed to follow in. These were the n he had sent out to destroy the surveillance footage earlier. From their expressions, it was clear that XI Base had been one step ahead.
He was about to speak when he discovered that the XI Base’s n had actually brought a military leader, who was coincidentally present today and had a rank higher than the Commander over. The leader ca after hearing the news and upon seeing the corpse on the ground, he imdiately frowned harshly. He turned to look at Li Nanheng’s whose expression was equally frigid, before turning to the laptop.
The high-quality surveillance footage imdiately began playing.
It was clear that Feng Ling and K had known that there were caras in the room; they brought their clothes with them into the bedroom whenever they changed and were not fild doing so.
However, the entire incident had occurred in the living room where the surveillance caras were planted.
From the mont Feng Ling entered the room for a drink of water, to the mont she discovered sothing amiss with her drink and began checking the kettle, and finally when the fat commander abruptly charged in; the scenes of their argunt and struggles, and Feng Ling’s unstable movents as the fat commander abruptly threw himself on her and pressed her down on the couch were all properly captured.
