Chapter 149 Industry City
Chapter 149: Industry City

"Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

Yu Wenxuan's smiling voice came into Li Mu's ears through the phone.

Li Mu frowned subconsciously.

He disliked Yu Wenxuan in every aspect.

After knowing what Yu Wenxuan had done in Wu Ji, Li Mu once investigated him in reality. This guy was from Yecheng and had a decent job - assistant music director.

He had no criminal record, and his experience of more than 20 years seemed unremarkable. The only eye-catching incident was when he was studying and encountered a robbery in a convenience store. Yu Wenxuan, who was still a student at the time, actually took the initiative to choose to become a hostage in place of the female store owner who was held hostage.

The robber agreed to his request. After all, a skinny boy was much easier to control than a fat middle-aged woman.

Later, the robbers took him hostage and hid in the warehouse of a convenience store. In order to ensure Yu Wenxuan's life safety, the police agreed to many conditions of the robbers. However, just when the robber relaxed his vigilance a little and was about to escape, he got into trouble.

Yu Wenxuan used the key in his trouser pocket to stab the robber's throat.

The sharp key instantly pierced the robber's throat. When the police broke in, Yu Wenxuan was pulling the key out.

In the end, he was rewarded for his bravery.

When Li Mu saw his experience, although he felt that Yu Wenxuan's methods were a bit harsh, overall, he was still a good person.

After all, he was willing to take the risk on behalf of the female owner, which was a very commendable thing.

Li Mu didn’t know... why Yu Wenxuan became like this. Was it because Wu Ji’s weirdness and terror triggered his deeper personality?
Or...his thoughts and emotions have gradually been distorted under the stimulation of fear.

But no matter what, the one who needs help now is Li Mu.

"Can you... do me a favor?" Li Mu asked.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then a chuckle came: "Mr. Li, you are so polite... Let me think about it. What you need my help with is not what you mentioned last time... about the old man in the dream, right?"

Li Mu paused. Yu Wenxuan's tone made him subconsciously want to hang up the phone, but before he could do so, Yu Wenxuan's voice continued:

"If it's really that incident, I'm very interested. Mr. Li, may I ask... is it that incident?"

He is actually willing to help?
Li Mu was not very sure about Yu Wenxuan's reaction. The impression Yu Wenxuan had left on Li Mu was that of a person who was not easily controlled.

This control is not only limited to his companions' control over him, but even to Wu Ji.

His actions always seem to challenge the rules of the Mist Set, but it is undeniable that this is usually effective.

So, before he learned that Yu Wenxuan was a music assistant, he always thought that Yu Wenxuan was a mental patient.

Li Mu was wrong. The real mental patient was someone else, and on the surface, he seemed quite normal...

"Hehe... If you don't answer, I'll take it as your consent. Mr. Li, if you really need my help, then please... come to Yecheng. It's a very interesting place... Don't you notice that more and more people are gathering in Yecheng?"

Yu Wenxuan's voice seemed to have a kind of bewitching magic, but even if it weren't for his voice, the meaning of his words was enough to attract Li Mu's attention.

What he said... does make sense. According to internal police information, not only did the "key" leave Liangcheng and go to Yecheng.

Several notorious criminals from other cities also left their respective cities and headed for Ye City.

Li Mu really wanted to know why the police knew the whereabouts of those criminals but did not issue an arrest warrant. He once asked his superiors for instructions, but the reply he got was... it could not be told.

It seems...those extremely terrorist criminals are connected, and among them, there is a policeman.

Of course, all this is just Li Mu’s personal speculation.

But there must be something in Yecheng that attracts them, attracting this group of executioners who regard human life as worthless and are extremely cruel and cold-blooded.

By the way, Bai Yanliang and Yu Sheng were also in Yecheng. Xu Zhifei resigned from Liangcheng some time ago and went to Yecheng. In the recent news, Feng Xiuxue will also go to Yecheng to shoot a commercial. It seems that there is an invisible force that is pulling them together in Yecheng.

This is a very obscure and difficult to detect matter, at least Li Mu did not see it.

However...Yu Wenxuan saw it.

"How about it? Mr. Li, are you willing to come see me?" There was no urging in Yu Wenxuan's voice, and he didn't seem to mind giving Li Mu some more time to consider.

But this time, Li Mu didn't think about anything, he replied:
"I'm leaving this afternoon."

"That... couldn't be better..."

Yu Wenxuan laughed twice and hung up the phone.

Li Mu rubbed his temples, leaned over the desk, and wrote an application for a long vacation.

What is there in Yecheng...?
……

As soon as Bai Yanliang left the Criminal Police Bureau, he ran into Xu Zhifei.

This woman was wearing a dark dress as usual, with a pale face, unsteady steps, and her eyes... were covered by her long bangs.

The biggest difference between her and ordinary people is not her more exquisite appearance.

But there is always an lingering cold temperament about Xu Zhifei, which makes people frown and find it difficult to approach him.

However, Bai Yanliang didn't mind. To him, no one made any difference.

These delicate atmospheres that are very sensitive to ordinary people seem insignificant to Bai Yanliang's emotionless perception.

Just like now, Bai Yanliang just thinks that Xu Zhifei's long bangs cover his eyes, so isn't he afraid of falling when he walks?

In fact, Bai Yanliang has always been very curious about Xu Zhifei.

The most crucial thing was what she told him about the precognitive dream she had that day by the river.

Bai Yanliang chose to cooperate with her. After all, according to Xu Zhifei's description of her dream, cooperation between the two would be beneficial rather than harmful.

But...if the future really develops as Xu Zhifei's dream does, Bai Yanliang feels that he will also die a violent death...

"work?"

Bai Yanliang asked.

"Ah."

Xu Zhifei looked up at him, his cold eyes making people shudder.

It’s great that profilers only start working in the afternoon.

Bai Yanliang sighed in his heart, and then the two of them passed each other.

Early last night, Bai Yanliang called Feng Yiru, and she really turned into Feng Xiuxue again.

Then, Bai Yanliang asked her to help arrange for him to meet Chen Huaiyu.

So, today's date location changed from the Log Cafe to the advertising shooting company.

Coincidentally, the advertising photography company is also located in the Media Building.

After learning the location where Chen Huaiyu filmed the advertisement, Bai Yanliang couldn't help but feel:
Yeah, what a coincidence...
