Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1127 572: Songs and Dances, Peace and Prosperity (Part 5)

Shen Jingye knew his situation, and also knew that relying on such a warrant would hardly capture Du Wenming.

"Conventional methods are necessary, but you have to use some unconventional ones too," Shen Jingye handed a stack of documents to Li Banfeng, "According to our initial speculation, only an organization with considerable power could have kidnapped Yu Yaoming.

We identified two targets, one is the Birch Tree Secret Cult and the other the Ferry Gang, all the current data on these organizations is here. I'm responsible for the Secret Cult, you're responsible for the Ferry Gang. From them, we should find clues about Du Wenming."

Li Banfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Little Shen, you're showing great initiative in your work this time!"

Shen Jingye pointed to several names on the document: "These people are generally low-level, but they're key members of the Ferry Gang.

They have deep roots and wide connections. Although they know a lot, we can't interrogate them aggressively, or it'll negatively affect us. We should try to avoid these people during the investigation."

Li Banfeng pointed to someone named Guan Zhengzhang: "He seems to be of high status in the Ferry Gang, many businesses have passed through his hands."

Shen Jingye was silent for a moment: "This is confidential information, some names shouldn't appear here, and Guan Zhengzhang is one of them."

"Why shouldn't he appear?"

"Because he's Director Guan Zhengyang's brother. We better not investigate him, he won't cooperate with us and could even create significant trouble for our investigation."

Li Banfeng was a bit surprised: "He's so arrogant, his cultivation level must be high?"

"Guan Zhengzhang's cultivation level isn't high, but that's not the issue, Bureau Chief Li. Don't you know Director Guan?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "I don't know him."

Shen Jingye didn't know how to explain: "Let me put it this way. Last year, an agent from the Dark Star Bureau conducted a routine investigation on Guan Zhengzhang. Guan Zhengzhang humiliated the agent in person, and they had some conflict.

Afterwards, the agent suffered an accident on their way home, resulting in a lifelong disability, and was transferred away from the Dark Star Bureau. You should understand the situation here."

"According to that, we really shouldn't look for this guy." Li Banfeng took a pen and crossed off Guan Zhengzhang's name:

...

Late at night, Guan Zhengzhang returned to the villa, and two women came forward to assist him with washing up and changing clothes.

One woman broke a nail and accidentally scratched Guan Zhengzhang's arm.

Guan Zhengzhang furrowed his brow slightly, not saying a word.

The woman was apprehensive, carefully following Guan Zhengzhang to the bathroom door.

Guan Zhengzhang entered the bathroom, suddenly picked up a glass ashtray, turned around, and smashed it on the woman's head.

The woman crouched on the ground, and Guan Zhengzhang stepped forward and kicked her face several times.

The woman's face was bloodied, and she didn't dare make a sound, not even to raise her hands to shield herself.

Guan Zhengzhang was in a terrible mood. The other woman saw that the bathwater was ready, intending to test the temperature, but Guan Zhengzhang slapped her and pushed her out.

"Get out!" Guan Zhengzhang shut the door, soaking alone in the hot water, repeatedly rubbing his forehead with the hot water.

Li Banfeng asked: "Are you dealing with something troublesome?"

Guan Zhengzhang was startled, turned around and said: "Who are you?"

Li Banfeng said: "I'm from Director Du, here to investigate some matters."

"Which... which, director..." Guan Zhengzhang casually grabbed a fruit plate beside the bathtub.

Li Banfeng took the fruit plate, grabbed a mango, and stuffed it into Guan Zhengzhang's mouth.

"Can't say his name, right? Because you're afraid to."

Guan Zhengzhang jumped out of the bathtub, wanting to fight Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng grabbed Guan Zhengzhang's hair, slammed his head against the faucet.

After the first hit, Guan Zhengzhang lost a few teeth but still resisted.

After the second hit, a hole appeared on Guan Zhengzhang's face. He extended his hand to Li Banfeng, indicating willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

"Alright, let's sit somewhere else then." Li Banfeng took Guan Zhengzhang to the Portable Residence.

After dealing with Guan Zhengzhang, Li Banfeng looked at the list again, ready to find two more people to gather and have a good chat.

On the way home, he received a call from Shen Jingye: "Guan Zhengzhang has disappeared, he just returned to the villa, entered the bathroom, and then vanished!"

Li Banfeng was very shocked: "How can this happen? Could it be that Du Wenming is still in Yuezhou?"

Shen Jingye said: You mean, Guan Zhengzhang was silenced by Du Wenming?

PS: No need to think, this must have been done by Du Wenming!

Little Shen, Li Qi hasn't been paid enough yet!
