Chapter 77 Talking nonsense and lacking martial ethics

"Have the demolition team inspect the entire site."

After the minor incident of Zhou Wenjian being bitten by a dog, the demolition team, which had been on the way, finally arrived late. Under the command of Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju, they entered the explosion site fully armed to check for explosives.

"Mr. Longwei, please come with us to the police station to give your statement."

Following this, Lu Ming and his team took over jurisdiction of the case, excluding the political department agents.

Without Zhou Wenjian as their leader, the other political department agents were simply unable to cause any trouble.

Although the Political Department is special and wields considerable power, its agents are merely ordinary police officers. Lu Ming is currently a probationary inspector, Chen Jiaju is a police sergeant, and Jin Dazui holds the rank of sergeant.

A higher rank can be enough to crush someone, let alone Lu Ming, who is three ranks higher than them.

Unlike the Ming Dynasty's Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Political Department is not all-powerful and passed down from generation to generation. The agents within it are essentially just ordinary police officers who will eventually be transferred to other departments.

They also dared not easily offend their superiors who held high ranks.

After all, who knows if they'll no longer be working under Lu Ming and his team in the future?

Therefore, the political department agents had no choice but to obediently follow Lu Ming's orders.

Long Wei stood tall and said calmly, "Sir, please rest assured. Assisting the police investigation is the duty of ordinary citizens, and I will not shirk it."

Longwei's father said worriedly, "Son, Dad will go with you."

"Please!"

Lu Ming and his brothers from the demolition team inspected the scene and confirmed that it was safe. They then summoned Long Wei and Li Jie back to the police station for questioning according to procedure.

"The dragon's might has arrived!"

When Lung Wai came out of the lounge, the paparazzi surrounding him immediately started taking pictures excitedly.

Lu Ming and Chen Jiaju stayed far away to avoid being on camera.

"Longwei, Longwei, can you describe the situation at the time of the explosion?"

The paparazzi should hurry up and get to the details.

Upon hearing this, Long Wei calmly replied, "I don't know which fellow villager dropped a landmine that I stepped on. When I looked down, I saw it was the latest American-style trigger landmine. These landmines explode the moment I let go, blowing me to pieces. With each beep, the detonation time grew closer, but I remained completely calm. I told my bodyguard to boldly grab a baseball bat and instruct him to knock the jumping landmine away as soon as I counted to three and leaped forward."

He truly lived up to his acting background, gesturing wildly in front of a group of paparazzi to describe the situation, making everyone feel as if they were there experiencing the thrill firsthand.

"Wow, Longwei is so powerful, did we make a mistake in capturing his stunt double?"

The chubby photographer listened to Long Wei's description and secretly marveled.

"You believe his boasting?" Yue Huizhen curled her lip. "The truth is he was probably so scared he wet himself and only survived thanks to his bodyguards, then he took all the credit, like hiring a stunt double to perform a difficult stunt—"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Long Wei can brag in front of us, but he might tell the truth when he's giving his statement. If we can get hold of his statement and reveal the truth, exposing Long Wei's lies, the ratings will definitely explode."

"But how did we obtain this statement?"

The fat man scratched his head.

Le Huizhen subconsciously looked at Lu Ming and the others, but when she thought of Lu Ming's past attitude, she immediately became worried. There was no way that Lu Ming and the others would reveal the police station's statement to her.

"We can only have our informants try to gather information."

"The man who left this landmine was wearing camouflage, had long wavy hair, and wore sunglasses. He was very skilled and must have received professional training. I suspect he was a mercenary who had been on the battlefield and killed people."

Sitting in the Central Police Station's Major Crimes Unit, Li Jie accurately described the suspicious person he saw. Based on his description, the police station's criminal sketch artist immediately drew a rough sketch.

"It's about 70-80% accurate."

This superb painting skill was recognized by Li Jie.

Of course, their criminal sketch artist from the major crimes unit couldn't just listen to Li Jie's side of the story; he also had to combine Long Wei's testimony to arrive at the final result.

"The man who planted the bomb to assassinate me was a big, muscular guy with a face full of scars. He seemed to have intellectual disabilities, but he was very good at fighting and must have been a martial artist. I exchanged a couple of blows with him, and I overpowered him with a straight punch and a short-range punch. When he realized he couldn't win, he immediately resorted to dirty tricks and threw a landmine as a sneak attack. I reacted extremely quickly and used a high kick to knock the landmine down and stomp on it—I didn't know it was a landmine at the time, and I was careless and didn't dodge. I thought this was going to be a friendly fight, but he planted a landmine and showed no sportsmanship."

As Long Wei spoke, he became somewhat indignant, seemingly disgusted that the other side had resorted to such underhanded tactics.

Lu Ming's lips twitched slightly as he watched Long Wei spouting nonsense. If he hadn't seen the movie, he would have almost believed him.

The criminal sketch artist was in a real bind. He wanted to make do with the sketch on the spot, but Lu Ming stopped him and told him to take the sketch he had just drawn based on Li Jie's confession and hand it directly to Long Wei for identification.

"Yes, yes, this is the guy who ambushed me. Look at this big guy, he's a real fighter—his moves should be from Choy Li Fut, with a bit of Hung Kuen style mixed in. He's a trained fighter."

Long Wei spoke with absolute certainty, as if he were telling the truth.

At the time, only he and Li Jie were present, and only the two of them knew the actual situation.

Of course, after Lu Ming and his team confirmed that the person in the portrait was the one who planted the landmines, they immediately had someone take it out and ask other stuntmen and actors on set to see if they could find anything else.

"Mr. Longwei, have you offended anyone recently?"

Chen Jiaju asked the most crucial question.

The fact that someone would use military landmines to carry out an assassination suggests a deep grudge against Longwei, or at least a significant conflict of interest.

Long Wei shook his head repeatedly, "I never offend anyone in my actions. I have always been kind, charitable, and understanding—I have no enemies at all, let alone such a deep-seated grudge."

""

"I can testify that what my son said is true; he really is very good at undressing people."

Longwei's father nodded in agreement.

"That's very strange. They're clearly after you, and the assassins are extremely professional. There must be some hidden story behind hiring someone like that to kill you."

Chen Jiaju frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Is someone jealous of my good looks? Or are some of my die-hard female fans who can't have me, so they want to ruin me? You know, as a big star, this kind of trouble is very normal."

Longwei offered his own guess.

Chen Jiaju, Jin Dazui, and the others gave him a speechless look. How could you have the nerve to say something like that?
