Liu Xing sighed again and said, "In fact, everyone here is well aware that given the current situation, the only Chinese person in London who could have carried out these actions is Miss Wang. After all, I’ve heard that there are several Chinese-led mafias in the Chinatown that Miss Wang currently controls, and although these mafias are nominally independent, there are rumors that they are ultimately under the control of the Wang family, and the head of the Wang family is now Miss Wang."
As one of Miss Wang’s suitors, Leon agreed with Liu Xing’s statement, but still wanted to defend Miss Wang.
Before Leon could speak, Jill quickly said, "Although I haven’t really talked much with Miss Wang, I don’t think she could have done these things. First, Miss Wang has no conflicts with the hosts and guests of this wedding, so she has no reason to target them. Secondly, although the Wang family is renowned in London and has been rooted in England for a century, they are still considered outsiders, so with Miss Wang’s intelligence and the Chinese people’s traditional low-key and pragmatic approach, her focus should be on the family’s development, not fighting to the death with other families. Moreover, the families involved in today’s attack are too numerous to count on both hands, and if they find out that Miss Wang was behind this, the Wang family might become history."
"Most importantly, even if Miss Wang did plan this, she definitely wouldn’t have arranged for so many Chinese people to carry out the attack. After all, everyone knows that in London, or even in the entire United Kingdom, the only person with the ability to mobilize so many Chinese people is Miss Wang. She could have easily arranged for people of other ethnicities to do this," Wesker said, stroking his chin.
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously, "It seems we’re all thinking the same thing. The mastermind behind this attack is likely trying to frame Miss Wang, so they arranged for so many Chinese people to participate in the attack. And these Chinese people are clearly suicide squads, because under normal circumstances, the snipers on the helicopters would have buckled themselves in to avoid accidentally falling to their deaths, but these guys just jumped straight out of the helicopters. In addition, I’ve been thinking carefully, and I realized that the helicopters were flying at an extremely low altitude. They could have maintained a higher altitude to ensure the safety of their own people, but they deliberately flew within the range of the security guards’ firepower and deliberately dropped so many bodies."
Wesker sighed and said to Leon, "Leon, you should have Miss Wang’s phone number. Now give her a call and tell her about what happened here, and ask her to check if any of her people were involved in today’s incident."
Leon nodded, but still hesitated, "Captain, is this appropriate?"
Wesker chuckled and patted Leon’s shoulder, "I know what you’re worried about, Leon. You’re afraid that if Miss Wang is the mastermind, then this call would be aiding the enemy. But if Miss Wang is indeed behind this, then this call won’t matter anymore. And to be honest, if Miss Wang is the one behind all this, she’s probably already prepared to deal with the police officers or has already left the country by plane or ship. Or if she’s bold and cunning enough, she may have already removed herself completely from this incident."
So the reason Wesker asked Leon to make this call was to do Miss Wang a favor, allowing her to prepare in advance, and also to have her help the London police officers investigate the Chinese mafia in Chinatown and determine if any of them are suspected of committing crimes.
Leon understood Wesker’s intention and took out his phone to call Miss Wang.
Liu Xing also quietly hung up his own call with Miss Wang.
Leon turned on the speakerphone, "Miss Wang, have you heard about the incident that happened in the suburbs?"
Miss Wang immediately replied, "Of course I’ve heard about it. Or rather, the whole of England knows about this incident by now - a group of armed bandits in helicopters attacked a wedding venue in the suburbs, where the guests were prominent figures in England. As such a major event, I heard about it right away. But Leon, why are you calling me about this at this time? What’s your intention?"
Hearing Miss Wang address Leon by name, Liu Xing couldn’t help but look at Leon with newfound respect. After all, in both Eastern and Western cultures, only those with close relationships would address each other by name without titles.
Leon organized his thoughts and then said seriously, "The situation is like this. I’m currently investigating the scene, and I found something peculiar - based on the bodies of the attackers left behind, the assailants who carried out this attack seem to be predominantly East Asian."
After a moment of silence, Miss Wang said somewhat helplessly, "In England, or rather the entire United Kingdom, the only East Asian force capable of launching this attack would be my Wang family. That’s why you’re calling me, isn’t it?"
Leon took a deep breath and said seriously, "Miss Wang, are you absolutely certain that besides your Wang family, there are no other East Asian-led forces in England that could have carried out this attack?"
"No, there aren’t," Miss Wang replied unhesitatingly. "As far as I know, the East Asian-led forces in the United Kingdom are few and far between, and most of them have only established themselves here in the past decade or so. And Leon, you should know that the Chinese, the islanders, and the Cosmic Country people don’t really see eye to eye with each other, so I’m quite familiar with the island nation mafia and the Cosmic Country mafia around London, and I can assure you they don’t have the capability to obtain helicopters and rifles for an attack like this."
"Then what about your Wang family?" Leon asked just as seriously.
Liu Xing shook his head silently, feeling that this Leon was really not good at speaking, asking such a direct question at this time.
However, Miss Wang directly replied, "Of course, first, we have helicopters because our Wang family is a large and influential family, and I know we have over ten helicopters, most of which are located near London. As for rifles, although the English government has strict control over firearms, making it difficult for civilians to obtain them, with our family’s resources, it wouldn’t be a problem to get a few dozen rifles, but this would also create many loopholes, after all, these are rifles, not handguns."
As Miss Wang said, for most countries, it’s difficult to eradicate the flow of firearms into civilian hands, so it’s better to relax control over handguns and focus on strictly controlling assault rifles and other heavy weapons.
So, for the Wang family, getting a batch of handguns in England would be easy, but getting a single rifle illegally would be more difficult than getting a hundred handguns.
Moreover, if the number of rifles increases by one, the difficulty for the Wang family to obtain them would directly double, after all, the Wang family is still a powerful force, and the English government’s control over them is much stronger than over local mafia groups.
Therefore, in Liu Xing’s view, it would take at least a year for the Wang family to quietly obtain so many rifles, which is also an important reason why Wesker chose to believe the Wang family was not involved in this matter.
At this time, Miss Wang suddenly said seriously, "Leon, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go attend to my own business. Although I can confirm that this incident has nothing to do with our Wang family, I can’t guarantee that our subordinates didn’t participate in it. After all, our Wang family is a business-oriented family, and the mafia in Chinatown may seem to listen to us, but we can’t really control their every move... Finally, I want to ask you, Leon, do you believe me?" 𝘳А₦∅ʙÊṡ
"I believe you," Leon replied without hesitation. "I know you’re not the kind of person to do such things, so I believe you’re not involved in this matter. Now, I’ll hang up, Miss Wang, you go attend to your business, and we’ll talk again later."
Leon hung up the phone and found Liu Xing and others looking at him with a mixture of smiles and curiosity.
Leon’s face turned red, and he didn’t know what to say.
Just as Liu Xing was about to tease Leon, Wesker intervened, saying, "Okay, let’s not joke around now. It’s time to get back to work. Leon, go hand over the evidence you and Jill found on the attackers to Sergei, and then we’ll prepare to leave. We still have other things to do."
Leon nodded and went to find Sergei, who had just arrived at the scene.
After Leon left, Wesker suddenly changed his tone, saying, "Chris, Jill, keep an eye on Leon for the next two days and make sure he doesn’t meet with Miss Wang alone. Although I also believe Miss Wang is not involved in this matter, our colleagues who will take over the case may not think so, and if they make a fuss about it, Leon and Miss Wang may become very passive, especially since a police officer and a suspect are being so close, which will inevitably raise suspicions."
Liu Xing and Jill nodded.
Wesker looked at Chief House in the distance, then at Liu Xing and Jill, and finally shook his head, looking worried.
Liu Xing understood Wesker’s concern and whispered, "Captain, are you worried that after Chief House retires, we’ll be ostracized by the new director?"
Wesker sighed and shook his head, saying, "If the new director is Allen, our situation might not be too bad, at most, we won’t be responsible for this case. After all, our relationship with Miss Wang is good, especially since Chris and you two live next to her. But if the new director is not Allen, our situation may become more difficult, because I’m Chief House’s trusted aide, and if the new director comes in and starts a purge, I’ll definitely be affected, and we may be marginalized and stuck in the office for a few months."
Liu Xing and Jill also looked worried, because as Wesker said, once Chief House retires, their situation would become awkward, and they might be arranged to sit on the bench.
However, Liu Xing wasn’t too worried, because in his view, no matter who the new director of the London police is, they would definitely deal with the five Ghouls in the London subway station within the next half month, and as special police officers, they would definitely be reused.
But what Liu Xing found strange was that KP Time hadn’t notified him of the next part of the Main Quest.
In Liu Xing’s view, the next part of the Main Quest was already set in stone, which was to resolve the five Ghouls in the London subway station, and then compete for the projection of the Sacred Book.
Of course, there was also the possibility of rescuing Dio from Ithaqua’s hands, because if they didn’t act, Ithaqua would have an extra Crimson Ghoul to help in the final battle for the Sacred Book’s projection.
This was definitely not good news.
"Excuse me, officer, are you available now?"
A man in black appeared beside Liu Xing and asked.
