Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Do You Have Any Suspects?
Bai Haoxue brought in the food, "Li Mingmo, have something to eat. You haven’t eaten for more than a day."
"Thanks, but I don’t feel like eating."
Ji Hanyu came in just as he heard this, his face immediately displeased.
Ji Hanyu said, "Li Mingmo, it’s not about whether you feel like eating or not. My wife brought this for you, so you better eat it."
Li Mingmo: "..."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"Enough already!" Bai Haoxue smacked Ji Hanyu in annoyance.
He clearly cared about his brother, but his words were always sharp.
Li Mingmo really had no appetite, he just took a cup of warm milk to soothe his stomach.
"Did you offend someone recently?" Ji Hanyu looked at Li Mingmo and asked.
Li Mingmo frowned, "Are you referring to the assassination attempt?"
"What else? An open attack on a colonel? Do you think the perpetrator was just a common refugee?"
Li Mingmo said, "What happened to that refugee? Did you get any information?"
Ji Hanyu: "Dead!"
Li Mingmo: "..."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
"Can you speak properly?" Bai Haoxue was exasperated with Ji Hanyu, who always spoke so concisely it was infuriating.
Ji Hanyu said, "I’m telling the truth. The person who tried to assassinate Li Mingmo was just an ordinary local from Yiqing County.
When he was captured, he suddenly had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
By the time I got to the hospital, he was already pronounced dead and taken to the morgue."
Li Mingmo asked, "Was it a natural death or was he silenced?"
"Natural death," Ji Hanyu said, "It was a heart attack. We’ve already had a professional forensic examination."
"Clearly, the other side came prepared, specifically choosing a patient in the late stages of heart disease to attempt the assassination."
Someone with heart disease could die from just a bit of stress, so the perpetrator didn’t need to risk exposure to silence him.
Ji Hanyu said, "Moreover, that heart-disease patient who attacked you, he’s currently alone in the family.
His wife divorced him long ago because of his heart condition, and his only daughter was taken away by his wife. He was all alone, and now he’s dead, leaving nothing traceable."
Ji Hanyu said, "I’ve checked everything. His account didn’t suddenly have more funds, he hadn’t been in close contact with anyone recently, and his heart condition was longstanding.
This is a very targeted and sophisticated assassination method. The opponent is careful and meticulous, a rare expert. Do you have any suspects?"
"No," Li Mingmo said, "I just came back from the military. Over these years, I’ve mostly been in the military, I haven’t even had time to make enemies!"
Although the military is a dangerous place, it’s also relatively simple.
In these past four years, especially the first two, it was a life of blood and fire, under bullets and bombs, living passionately on the edge.
In such an environment, all they thought about was completing one mission after another, thinking about how to achieve military merits?
They were all hot-blooded men, strong and resilient guys. They competed, but didn’t engage in vicious fights.
The competition was about skill, fists, bullets, scars, how many missions completed, and military merits gained.
The military, the frontline, it’s the most dangerous place, but also a relatively fair place, less concerned about background or origin.
So, he chose to go there...
