"Really?" Chang Mu turned to Ma Lie and asked coldly: "Captain Ma, if you knocked me out, I won't pursue it for the time being." "However, this conflict between you and Vice Captain Zuo must be explained to me."

"Well, I must make it clear!"

Ma Lieyi's response was righteous, pointing to Zuo Guang, who was in a trance, and said loudly: "Deputy Captain Zuo, everyone is their own people, unless it is absolutely necessary, who is willing to point a gun at your head, the specific reason, it is most appropriate for you to explain to Steward Chang." ”

In the face of Chang Mu and the others' aggressive posture, Ma Lie talked lightly and easily kicked the hot ball back to Zuo Guang.

"I ......"

Zuo Guang's mind reversed and was about to explain, but Ma Lie interrupted with a smile: "Deputy Captain Zuo, don't lie, there are so many people present, including me, but I saw it with my own eyes!" ”

Zuo Guang was stunned: "I...... No lying! ”

Chang Mu urged: "Don't talk nonsense, give me honest dealings, whether it is clear or not, I will uphold justice!" ”

"Well, I said ......"

Zuo Guang's eyes flickered, scratched his head and explained: "Originally, I was very cooperative with Captain Ma's investigation work. But everyone has seen that Captain Ma's efficiency is really not flattering, he wastes too much time, and uses the bonus to delay time, and our security work cannot be neglected for too long. ”

"Plus, I have one more thing to do and have to leave early. How do you know, Captain Ma couldn't help but say, and ordered Deputy Team Leader He to point a gun at Xia, his tone and attitude were very bad, and he didn't take into account the position of his colleagues at all......"

"You talk nonsense!"

He Jiachang couldn't listen to half of the sentence, and said to each other: "Captain Ma said in advance that he would only borrow everyone for half an hour. However, before ten minutes, Deputy Captain Zuo left under the pretext of leaving, I am afraid that there is a ghost in his heart and he is evading responsibility. ”

Zuo Guang turned his eyes sideways and asked arrogantly: "I haven't made any mistakes, what responsibility have I escaped, are you going to tell me about it?" ”

He Jiachang hurriedly said: "You are a spy." ”

Zuo Guang said angrily: "You are the spy, your whole family is a spy." ”

"Okay, don't make any noise!"

Chang Mu frowned and interrupted sharply: "I see that you are all talking about it, and if you don't have solid evidence, don't be suspicious." This is the end of this matter, you should disperse first, who is a spy and who is framed, I will investigate clearly. ”

"Wait!"

Seeing that Chang Mu actually overstepped his responsibilities, Ma Lie was strongly dissatisfied, and questioned: "Steward Chang, it seems that it is my job to investigate and clean up the spies, and you are just assisting from the side?" ”

"So what?" Chang Mu glanced at it unpredictably, and said coldly: "But you are not doing well, you almost caused a conflict, and betrayed the trust of the old man, I have the obligation to deprive you of the right to investigate." ”

Ma Lie was dissatisfied: "I'm sorry, I only have two days, and I have no obligation to listen to you." ”

Chang Mu said coldly: "Ma Lie, tell you the truth, in the Hangjia Castle, whoever dares to do it against me will be waiting for bad luck, before I change my mind, you'd better hurry up and disappear immediately!" Disappear, you know. ”

Ma Lie shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I only obey Miss Hang's orders, if I can, it should be you who disappears!" ”

"Really?" Chang Mu smiled implicitly and said, "Hey, don't think that with the support of the eldest lady, you can be nothing more than lawless, and there is no one in your eyes..."

Ma Lie smiled lightly: "Hehe, Steward Chang said the opposite, right?" Don't think that if you are an old courtier of the Hang family, you can bully others at will, rely on the old and sell the old! ”

"Hmph, since you think so, then I'll sell it once!"

This time, Chang Mu was determined to defend Zuo Guang, and he couldn't get used to Ma Lie's actions, so he decided to go the opposite way, extinguish Ma Lie's prestige, and said in a deep voice: "Deputy Captain Zuo, you don't have to worry about other things, take your people out of the hall." ”

"Uh, okay!" Zuo Guang glanced at Chang Mu gratefully, and then smiled smugly at Ma Lie.

Bang!

When Zuo Guang was proud, not far behind him, a gunshot rang out. A bullet flashed past Chang Mu's ear and hit Ma Lie's façade directly!

"Not good!" And Ma Lie has been on guard against the movements around him, as soon as the gunshot rang out, he instinctively turned his head sideways to avoid it, and the bullet passed through his head, and it was not unfortunate that it hit the triumphant Zuo Guang on the forehead.

"You ......" Zuo Guang happened to be standing opposite Ma Lie, he didn't have time to scream, he instantly lost his intuition in his mind, and he looked at Chang Mu one last time unwillingly, and then slowly collapsed to the ground, and bright red blood droplets slowly flowed from his forehead to the floor!

"Ah, dead man!"

The change was so sudden that the smell of blood slowly spread through the hall, and most of the people present were stunned. They hadn't gone through such a formation, and they didn't know who ran first, except for the well-trained guards of the city guards, everyone else panicked and rushed towards the door: "Help." ”

"Who and who fired the shot?"

Seeing his beloved Lan Yan's confidant die tragically in front of him, Chang Mu was stunned for a few seconds before he realized something, instinctively rushed over to help him up, probed his nose, and found in despair that Zuo Guang was no longer breathing.

His anger suddenly surged into his heart, and he swept around to look around, there were people running in panic everywhere, where was the figure of the murderer?

Thinking back to the gunshot, Ma Lie once made a dodge move. If Ma Lie hadn't dodged, the bullet would never have hit the left bald head.

Zuo Guang is his friend, and he is his beloved. The most painful thing in life is to see your loved one die in front of you.

He deeply felt the pain of the heartbreak of the knife, lost his cool in an instant, and pointed at Ma Lie and asked, "You killed him?" ”

Ma Lie was stunned and said depressedly: "The big butler, he was shot and died, and I have been standing in front of you from beginning to end, with nothing else in my hands, why did I become a murderer again?" ”

"You didn't kill him, but you killed him!" Chang Mu's face was unusually cold, and he muttered this sentence repeatedly, perhaps, even he felt contradictory.

"I didn't kill him, I killed him?"

Ma Lie pondered for a while before he understood, it turned out that this Chang Da butler was mad and took Zuo Guang's death out of anger.

Well, if he hadn't deliberately dodged it, the bullet wouldn't have hit the left light. It's just that if he doesn't dodge, the bullet will go through his head. If Chang Mu was standing in his position, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to dodge, it was a human conditioned reaction, and he couldn't complain to anyone.

Ma Lie knew his relationship with Zuo Guang, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Ma Lie doesn't care too much, I hope that after he calms down, he will be able to distinguish between right and wrong.

Therefore, he didn't bother to explain, and persuaded him: "Steward Chang, Deputy Captain Zuo has passed away, please mourn and be obedient, the real murderer must still be in the castle, the bullet flew in from outside the door of the synagogue, I will take someone to search for it!" ”

Seeing that Chang Mu didn't respond, he turned around, swept to the bodyguards who were still stunned around him, raised his hand and shouted: "All the people of the city guards listen to me, each group is divided into a small team, search for the real culprit in the four directions of the castle, and immediately call me to inform me if I find a suspicious person." ”

Seeing everyone standing still, Ma Lie turned his gaze at Ma Chongjun and shouted, "Team Leader Ma, what are you still doing in a daze!" ”

"I ......" Although Ma Lie is their captain, Ma Chongjun, Lu Yifa and others are very unaccustomed to obeying his command. But after looking at Zuo Guang who was dead on the spot, and then at Chang Mu, he saw Chang Mu's gloomy expression, and he didn't have any intention to pay attention to them at all.

"The left vice captain is dead, if you still want to avenge him, then let go of a qiē, hunt down the real murderer with me, and give the left vice captain justice!"

"Yes......" Under pressure, Ma Chongjun could only temporarily accept Ma Lie's command.

After Zuo Guang's death, Ma Chongjun was considered the most prestigious figure in the city guards. He took the initiative to give in to Ma Lie, and the others did not dare to contradict it.

Ma Lie took advantage of the momentum, turned to the other team leader, and shouted: "Deputy Team Leader Tan, you lead a team to guard the four gates of the castle, be sure to protect the safety of the children of the Hang family, and no suspicious person is allowed to enter or leave!" ”

Tan Chong, the leader of the third group, lowered his head and responded: "Yes......"

"Team Leader Lu, I order you to inform the brothers guarding the periphery of Huxin Island to tightly seal and block the intersection between Huxin Island and the outside world."

"Yes......" Lu replied vaguely, and then ran out with his fat belly.

Ma Lie shouted at the rest of He Jiachang's group of people: "Deputy Team Leader He, bring your people with me." ”

"Yes, Captain Ma!" Unlike others, He Jiachang naturally responded positively to Ma Lie's call.

As soon as Zuo Guang died, Ma Lie naturally took over the command and became the commander-in-chief of the city guards. At his command, several waves of people split up and launched a carpet search in four directions.

For a time, the wind and trees on the island in the middle of the lake were full of soldiers.

Ma Lie led Ho Ka Cheong's team out of the gate of the synagogue and launched a search for the front yard square facing it.

Based on the direction in which the bullet was flying, he judged that the murderer's location should be on this side of the square.

However, the square in front of the castle is empty and flat, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded, and the murderer will definitely not shoot in the square if he does not want to be exposed.

However, the half-human-high rows of flowers and trees around the square are just right to take cover.

Ma Lie focused his search on the flowers and trees around the square, and soon found an important clue.

In a lush flowerbed on the east side of the square, they found two bodyguards who had been knocked unconscious, and although their lives were not in danger, the two men had been desilted in the back of their heads and collapsed in the flowerbed.

If nothing else, the murderer must have broken into the island in the middle of the lake, knocked the two bodyguards unconscious, and then lurked somewhere in this part of the square, and finally shot the murderer......
