Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 525 Zhurong’s Backer

"Difficulties?"

Lin Yu felt somewhat strange at what the security captain said.

Although he knew that Zhu Rong might be somewhat reliable, he had just been sent to the Security Bureau. How could he cause trouble for the Public Security Bureau so quickly?

Under the leadership of the security captain, Lin Yu quickly entered the interior of the Security Bureau of the City That Never Sleeps.

Along the way, everyone from the grassroots on-duty personnel and technical personnel to many officials who seemed to have high administrative ranks, greeted Lin Yu one after another.

Forbolo's popularity in the Sheriff's Department is higher than expected.

Passing through the halls and offices, they soon entered the building where the Sheriff's Bureau temporarily detained and held various suspects.

Compared to the grand and bright lobby just now, the architectural style here is a bit more solemn - as soon as you enter the door, you will see a metal wall and two tightly closed metal doors on the left and right.

Rows of rivets were exposed on the wall, with the "Thirteen Articles of the General Safety Regulations" spray-painted on them.

Lin Yu took a look and found that the regulations were probably about paying with one's life for murder or arson, and paying money and going to jail for injuring others.

In the City That Never Sleeps, these thirteen articles are considered quite conscientious - at least there is no mention of different treatment for harming nobles and civilians, nor is there a clear provision that nobles can be exempted from punishment for harming others because "doctors are not subject to punishment."

Although there will probably be some differences in actual implementation, not writing it down... is already an improvement.

It’s better in form, so it’s good.

The front desk under the metal wall was also covered by a transparent barrier that obviously had strong protective capabilities. The staff on duty also greeted Lin Yu and the captain beside him with a smile.

"Captain Three, Mr. Forbolo, are you here to interrogate someone again?"

"What kind of difficult case is this?"

The on-duty officer asked curiously, and the security captain frowned and handed over his card.

"This is a serious matter, don't ask any questions...it's related to the top!"

"Open Door A."

Upon hearing this, the officer on duty looked at the captain's finger stretched upwards and instantly shrank his neck in fear: "Oh, then I don't know anything."

As he spoke, he operated the operating table inside, and then the door on the left opened.

The security captain took Lin Yu inside, and soon there were two more checkpoints.

I don’t know if it’s because the captain’s authority is high enough or Fu Luo’s face is too good, or if the management regulations of the City That Never Sleeps Security Bureau are simply too flawed.

At each checkpoint, only the captain handed in his ID card, and Lin Yu, who was standing next to him, simply scanned his face to enter - without showing any documents or certificates, and even without security checks.

Soon, they arrived at a special detention area - Lin Yu was very sure that this was not a normal, ordinary detention area.

After passing the last door, he clearly felt that the style was different from all the previous areas.

The decoration here is more like a guesthouse than a prison cell.

The "prison doors" on both sides of the room are even carved from wood.

Considering the security captain's hesitant attitude before, Lin Yu had some guesses in his mind.

In order to confirm this guess, he deliberately frowned and spoke.

"Why is he imprisoned here..."

"Is this legal?"

Upon hearing this, the security captain said with a bitter face, "Oh, this place is indeed for the nobles... Mr. Forbolo, I know that guy is not a noble, but someone called the director."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.

As expected, Zhurong has quite a strong backing.

Come to think of it, he came to assassinate the steward of a royal noble. The person behind him must be at least a duke or a marquis to have the courage to do so.

Moreover, the instigator will definitely have the support of royal nobles in the end.

Moreover, Lin Yu recalled carefully that when Barry called out the identities of the first two assassins, he mentioned the "Pioneer Team"...

This sounds very much like a background from the three major companies and the official background of the city that never sleeps.

And it didn't seem like Zhu Rong had come here to accept some random commission - judging from Zhu Rong's commitment to keeping his promises, this was more like a commission that came from a "promise" made to someone he knew.

"This person is well-informed. The call came right away..."

You know, it has only been a few hours since Zhu Rong's assassination.

Although there were many people at the scene, this time both the Buye Tian family and the Sheng Lan family were involved - the people who came to clean up the aftermath on both sides were professionals, and they must have taken control of all the people who knew about the matter long ago.

Even if the news gets out, only the most core nobles will probably know what exactly happened tonight.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at the security captain and tried again.

"One phone call was enough to get him here. Do you know what he did?"

The captain's expression grew even more bitter. "Your Excellency... Your Excellency Forbolo, of course I know. This fellow attempted to assassinate the steward of one of the three nobles in front of them. If it were an ordinary mercenary, this would surely be a heinous crime punishable by death!"

"But... we can't do anything about it, sir. Since he dares to do it and dares to come, it means that there is indeed someone behind him who we can't afford to offend."

The security captain said, Lin Yu said in a cold voice.

"Do you know that I'm here to interrogate him tonight on behalf of the esteemed Lord Huo Le of Buyetian, the direct descendant of the royal nobility and heir of the Buyetian family?"

"I can call Lord Huo Le of Buyetian right now—he didn't just want to kill the butler, he tried to set fire to the Wanjin Tianzuo restaurant and might even have caused an explosion. In other words, he tried to... no, he almost killed the respected Lord Huo Le of Buyetian, as well as the respected Lord Huo Shu of Buyetian and the respected Lord Sheng Lankui!"

"How could such a heinous crime be covered up by a simple charge like 'intending to assassinate the Shenglan family's steward'... I need to know who is behind him, to be so audacious!"

"Tell me—what's the name of the person who spoke to your director?"

Lin Yu said this in a cold voice, and the security captain clasped his hands together.

"Mr. Forboluo, Mr. Forboluo, Mr. Forboluo, please forgive me. I'm just a member of the public security team whose total assets don't even add up to 100,000. My citizen rating is only a mere fourth-class... The director received a call that he had to listen to on his knees, and then gave orders. How can I know who called?"

"Even if I knew, would I dare tell you? I brought you here because you solved that big case last time and saved my job. But please don't make things difficult for me. My son just got into middle school this year!"

Lin Yu looked at the security captain's humble words and sighed.

There is really no need to make things difficult for this grassroots team leader.

"Then tell me where he is and I'll go ask him myself."

"Excuse me, it's the second room on the right in front."
