This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 37 - This Must Be Infighting Within the Fierce Tiger Gang!

“Why are you staring at me?”

“Nothing,” Li Ming shook his head.

They arrived late; the first floor had mostly been cleaned up.

They moved up to the second floor and then arrived on the third.

“No signs of struggle in Zhang Hu’s room.

The main combat took place in a room on the left,” a technician stated while positioning a circular device in the center of the room; a pale blue light swept across it.

“After the murder, the culprit clearly tampered with the scene.

The 3D model can’t mimic it clearly, but it’s certain that he’s a Mechanical Transformation,” the technician concluded.

“A Mechanical Transformation?” Yang Peng’s eyebrows lifted slightly, reminding him of the person who killed Ma Wu, also targeting members of the Fierce Tiger Gang and also a Mechanical Transformation.

He didn’t believe that several powerful Mechanical Transformations could have appeared in such a short time.

“Li Ming, come here and share your thoughts,” Zhao Xiong, deep in thought, glanced at the approaching Li Ming and immediately said, “Since the minister values you, you should have more practice.”

Li Ming shook his head, “The captains are here, I better not show off my modest skills.”

“Don’t be afraid, just speak your mind, we won’t laugh at you,” Zhao Xiong insisted seriously.

Yang Peng frowned, about to speak, but then he heard Li Ming say, “Since Captain Zhao said so, I do have some thoughts.”

He walked to the big hole left by the safe, and spoke softly,

“I noticed just now that the desk hasn’t been moved, the bookshelf shows no signs of being searched, the same goes for everywhere else.

This suggests that the killer is extremely familiar with this place and knew from the start there was something hidden here.”

Yang Peng’s eyes brightened, …This conjecture wasn’t difficult, but noticing these details at first glance and linking them together was something ordinary people couldn’t do.

“Good job, kid!” Wang Zhiheng praised, “I didn’t notice it at first, indeed, the content of the safe should be what’s hidden here.”

“Zhao Xiong, I’m starting to agree with your guess.

If it wasn’t someone from inside the Fierce Tiger Gang, whoever came here would have to search around,” he commented.

“Sharp observation,” Li Ning subtly gave him a thumbs-up.

Just as they were collecting details at the scene, Laodao hurried over and said gravely, “Tu Zheng…

has arrived.”

The expressions of the captains changed instantly.

“This old tiger…” Wang Zhiheng snorted coldly.

Tu Zheng, the boss of the Fierce Tiger Gang, his father a miner at Star Creation Company, and his mother a prostitute from some street.

Once just a petty thief, he somehow made his fortune.

In seven or eight years, he had reached his current position…

The City Guard Department had his information, which Li Ming had seen.

He and Li Ning didn’t go down, but instead walked to the window and looked out from the side.

Opposing gangs confronted each other; Tu Zheng was conspicuous, wearing an overstretched black suit that strained over his muscles, looking like a wall.

Yang Peng was already tall and sturdy, but next to Tu Zheng, he looked like a child.

The members of the Fierce Tiger Gang he brought with him were obviously different, radiating a deadly aura.

Standing beside him was a Bald, who maybe sensed their gaze, looked up towards the third floor.

A Hu, Tu Zheng’s adopted son, had followed by Tu Zheng’s side for many years.

“Good, very good, it’s thanks to you all that Silver Grey City has been able to remain peaceful,” Tu Zheng suddenly scolded and then left with his people.

“Normally, such incidents involving heavy casualties within a gang are rarely leaked, but it was the inner city folks seeking pleasure on Red Street who found the bodies, so we got to know, ironically the Fierce Tiger Gang was one step behind,” Li Ning spoke softly.

“This old tiger is quite furious.”

…..

“A Hu, they say it was an inside job, what do you think?” Once seated in the elongated hover car, pairs of delicate hands caressed those stone-hard muscles.

“It’s possible, but unlikely, unless someone hired a hitman,” A Hu shook his head.

“Hehe…” Tu Zheng laughed as he shook his head, his expression suddenly turned fiercely stern, “You use people and then want to discard them?

Is that how afraid you are of that interstellar inspection team?”

“If you want to flip the table over, then let’s all go down together, let’s see if you can stand it!”

He didn’t know who he was talking to.

A Hu stayed silent without a word.

Tu Zheng glanced at him and then said, “A Hu, the business of Scar-faced Tiger, all the aftermath is entrusted to you.”

“Yes, Godfather,” A Hu nodded.

Tu Zheng slowly closed his eyes, as if reminiscing, “I remember Scar-faced Tiger was supposed to bring me something…”

…

The crime scene was mostly processed, and the city guards were about to leave, but they still left over twenty people to guard the area, not allowing anyone close, and others took turns on watch.

Four team leaders took turns on duty to ensure there was always someone in charge.

“I’ve been feeling that things haven’t been right around here lately.

I heard from my dad, the Urban Development Department said the sewers are old and need repair…” On the way back, Li Ning muttered, “That’s ridiculous…”

Li Ming raised an eyebrow, Li Ning’s father worked in the Silver Grey City government agencies, he had insider information.

The city’s big shots were cleaning their dirty gloves, even wanting to plug up the sewers, they were truly ruthless.

But…

a thought flickered in his mind, was his own action at this delicate moment not going to trigger any chain reaction?

Back at the city guard’s station, they weren’t idle either, getting called to help with various analyses.

It was an exception today to work overtime, and Li Ming didn’t act out of turn, he stayed behind.

“This 3D model of the pit looks a bit strange, take a look…” Old Diao stroked his chin, eyes filled with confusion, asking Li Ming, “The impact force at this central point is obviously not comparable to anywhere else.”

He zoomed in, it was the impact point of an electromagnetic armor-piercing round on the first floor.

The surroundings had been further damaged by Li Ming afterward, but it couldn’t compare with the impact at the central point.

“It might have been interfered with by something,” Li Ming said nonchalantly, “It’s probably not important, the main battlefield was on the third floor.”

“Indeed…” Old Diao thought for a moment, agreed, and wrote down the conclusion.

“Damn!” Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the entire floor.

Old Diao frowned, “Sun Changxing, lower your voice, brothers are all busy here!”

Sun Changxing’s throat bobbed, pointing at the virtual screen in front of him, “No, Diao bro, the intelligence department just shared some information, there’s a bounty posted on the Black Hole Network, targeting Tu Zheng, Gluttonous Dog, and that rose.”

“What’s that?” Old Diao was stunned, so were the others.

“A million Star Coins each!”
