Chapter 258 Death of Chen Moyu

"So... Chen Moyu, do you have anything else to say?" Zuo Qing tightly grasped the [Qingluan] on Chen Moyu's neck and spoke expressionlessly.

Chen Moyu was silent for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face, "I didn't expect that even though I did it so perfectly, you still found out.

I underestimated Zhang Yang and Guan Zai. Only you... Deputy Commander Zuo, could be so keen to detect these clues."

Seeing this smile, Zuo Qing moved the [Qingluan] in his hand closer to Chen Moyu's neck. Trickles of blood flowed from his neck, as if depicting a sad and beautiful picture.

Just a little more force and Chen Moyu would have died. However, at this critical moment, Zuo Qing still held back. He stared at Chen Moyu coldly and said calmly: "Who is your mastermind behind this?"

Chen Moyu's pupils shrank slightly when he heard Zuo Qing's question, but he regained his composure in an instant. The smile on his face remained, as if he was challenging Zuo Qing's bottom line. "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You have only joined the Night's Watch for three years. You have no power or influence. How can you have the courage to set up a plan to murder Baili Xin! There must be someone backing you up." Zuo Qing's eyes were as cold as stars. He stared at Chen Moyu, and an invisible murderous aura permeated around him.

"You are worthy of being the successor carefully trained by Commander Ye..." Chen Moyu said slowly.

"Tell me! What is your purpose in killing Baili Xin?" Zuo Qing slowly loosened his grip on Qingluan's hand, and with his other hand, he pinched Chen Moyu's neck like an iron clamp and said sternly.

"Deputy Commander Zuo... I'm just following orders. Since you have guessed the identity of the person behind me, why don't you take the initiative to ask?" Chen Moyu's neck was pinched, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his voice was as calm as dead water.

"If you tell me everything, I will try to reduce your sentence based on our past friendship." Zuo Qing's voice was cold, without any emotion.

After all, Chen Moyu has followed him for two years, so he is still willing to give him this opportunity, provided that the other party is willing to cooperate.

"Deputy Commander Zuo, you are still not ruthless enough..." Chen Moyu's eyes were as calm as a deep lake. He spoke lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Without waiting for Zuo Qing to answer, Chen Moyu suddenly covered his mouth, and black blood slid from the corner of his mouth like a flood.

His mental strength was failing at an alarming rate, like an oil lamp about to go out.

Zuo Qing's pupils suddenly contracted. Was the other party committing suicide by taking poison?

However, Chen Moyu's mental strength had clearly reached the peak of the sea realm. How could an ordinary poison cause such fatal damage to him?

This poison... is exactly the same as the tragic scene when Baili Xin died of the poison...

Chen Moyu died in front of Zuo Qing. From the time he covered his mouth to the time he died of the poison, the whole process took less than five seconds. Zuo Qing could only watch him fall to the ground, unable to do anything.

Where on earth did this poison come from? Why had they, the Night Watch, never heard of it before?

Zuo Qing's heart was filled with confusion and anger.

It seems that if I want to uncover the truth, I can only meet the person behind Chen Moyu... Chen Lu, a former senior executive of the Night Watch.

With anger burning in Zuo Qing's eyes, he strode to the door and pushed it open with force.

Ye Fan was seen standing quietly at the door, his eyes were like an ancient well, without the slightest fluctuation, as if he had anticipated all this.

"Let's go and meet this former leader." Ye Fan's voice was calm and firm.

"Okay." Zuo Qing nodded.

As soon as the words fell, the two figures disappeared from the spot.

.......

Night Watch Headquarters, Security Department

Zuo Qing and Ye Fan stood at the door of the security department. Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, falling on the old figure with silver hair in the department.

This old man is none other than Chen Lu, a former high-ranking member of the Night's Watch. His figure seems to carry the vicissitudes of time, and every strand of his silver hair tells of his past.

Ye Fan arranged Chen Lu to the Security Department, a seemingly leisurely position, but in fact he was guarding the security gate of the Night Watch headquarters.

The Security Department, as the name suggests, is responsible for the security of the Night Watch headquarters.

But with Ye Fan, the ceiling of humanity, in charge, ordinary vicious super-powered people naturally dare not come here to provoke easily.

Therefore, this position is a sinecure.

The reason why Ye Fan made such arrangements was, on the one hand, to transfer Chen Lu away from his senior position in the Night Watch.

On the other hand, Ye Fan had already pointed the finger of suspicion at Baili Xin for his death.

Transferring him here will not only facilitate Ye Fan's surveillance, but also allow the truth to gradually surface.

Mr. Chen from the Security Department seemed to have noticed the two gazes. He raised his head and met Ye Fan and Zuo Qing's eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly stood up.

"Xiao Ye...Oh no, Commander Ye, Deputy Commander Zuo, why did you two suddenly come to my humble abode?"

"Come and see our former leader." Ye Fan asked with a gentle smile on his face.

Old Chen and Ye Fan looked at each other for a moment, revealing a helpless smile, then turned and walked into the house, and a voice came from a distance: "Come in and sit down."

The two looked at each other and walked into the house with steady steps. The decoration of the security department was simple but not simplistic, and all the equipment was complete.

On a table not far away, a veteran cadre cup was emitting steam, as if telling stories from the past.

Old Chen walked to the table, took out two cups with ease, and then poured two cups of steaming hot water from the flame-red kettle.

He held the teacup in his hand gently to Ye Fan and Zuo Qing behind him as if he were holding a precious treasure.

"I don't have any fine tea here, so I can only offer you two cups of boiled water." Old Chen smiled and said softly.

Ye Fan and the other person took the water from Mr. Chen and sat down at the table, but they had no intention of drinking it.

"Mr. Chen, what have you been busy with recently?" Ye Fan asked with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen smiled even more. He picked up his old cadre cup, took a sip, and said slowly, "What else can you be busy about? Don't you know it well? Otherwise, why would the two of you take the trouble to come here?"

"Are you agreeing?" Zuo Qing suddenly interrupted.

"There is nothing I cannot admit. When I was planning all this, I had already foreseen the situation today." Chen Lao smiled, holding a teacup, and seemed to remember something. He asked, "By the way, where is Mo Yu? Is he okay?"

"Dead, committed suicide by taking poison..." Zuo Qing said in a deep voice with a stern expression.
