Working as a police officer in Mexico Chapter 1509 708: Who Can Be Crown Prince!

In that stifling temporary office in Belize, Li Wenbin suddenly woke from the pile of docunts he was lying on, clutching his chest as his heart pounded intensely.

He just had a vividly clear nightmare, Ma Guoming was drenched in blood, fallen on the familiar streets of Xiangjiang, staring at him fixedly, with one hand stretched out, his lips moving as if trying to say sothing, but unable to make any sound, only a stream of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. That despairing gaze pierced through Li Wenbin's dream like an ice pick.

"Old Ma!"

Li Wenbin shouted in a low voice, his body shivering violently from the sudden awakening, almost sliding off the chair.

He held the table firmly with both hands, gasping for air, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, and his eyelids twitching incessantly.

"Damn..."

He rubbed his face vigorously, trying to dispel the sudden palpitations and unease, muttering to himself, "Must be too tired, what a damn nightmare."

He stood up, his steps sowhat unsteady, preparing to go to the bathroom to splash his face with cold water and fully wake himself up.

Just as he rounded the table piled with docunts, the phone on the ssy desk rang abruptly.

Li Wenbin's heart tightened inexplicably again.

He took a deep breath.

"Hello, this is Li Wenbin."

There was a mont of silence from the other end of the line, then a heavy and hoarse voice ca through, it was Chief Chen responsible for internal liaison at headquarters, his tone was unprecedentedly grave: "Wenbin, it's , Old Chen."

Listening to the opening tone, Li Wenbin's unease rapidly expanded, "Mr. Chen, what's the matter? Is there a breakthrough in Xie Zhixiong's interrogation?"

The phone fell silent again for two seconds, this brief silence nearly suffocated Li Wenbin.

"Wenbin..." Old Chen's voice carried a difficulty hard to articulate, "Find soplace to sit down, stabilize your emotions."

"What on earth happened?"

"Inspector Ma Guoming, this morning, was ambushed by gunn downstairs at the police station, shot four tis, and died despite efforts to rescue him."

"..."

Li Wenbin froze in place, as if struck by lightning, his mind blank.

He could no longer hear Old Chen's anxious "Hello? Hello? Wenbin? Are you still listening?" nor feel his own presence.

Unknown how much ti passed, maybe just a few dozen seconds.

The door to the office swung open, Zheng Chuyao and several mbers of the task force entered, holding newly received external investigation data.

They imdiately noticed Li Wenbin sitting like an unresponsive statue in his chair, his gaze hollowly fixed forward.

They exchanged looks, each seeing shock and suspicion in the other's eyes.

Just monts ago, Mr. Li, though weary, was still spirited, how could he suddenly end up like this?

Zheng Chuyao's heart skipped a beat, she cautiously approached Li Wenbin, bending down and asking tentatively in a very low voice: "Mr. Li? What's wrong? Are you too tired, or feeling unwell? Should I call a dical team for you?"

Li Wenbin seed not to hear, remaining completely still.

Zheng Chuyao hesitated for a mont, then gently touched his arm: "Mr. Li?"

Li Wenbin's body shuddered abruptly, as if awoken from an icy stun, he turned his head very slowly to look at Zheng Chuyao, his eyes filled with imnse grief and a nearly maddened ferocity.

"Ma Guoming..."

"Inspector Ma Guoming..." Li Wenbin's voice trembled uncontrollably with rage, he finally shouted out, "He died! Just this morning! Downstairs at the police station! Shot to death by gunn!!"

"What?!

"Mr. Ma?!"

"How is that possible?!"

The office exploded into chaos, everyone was dumbfounded, faces filled with disbelief and shock!

Just hours ago, they were celebrating the great news that Ma Guoming had caught Xie Zhixiong, discussing how to use this lead to break the deadlock between Belize and xico! How could he be gone in an instant?!

Zheng Chuyao was also stunned, covering her mouth, her eyes instantly turning red.

Li Wenbin suddenly stood up, his body slightly shaking from excitent and anger, his eyes blazing, like an enraged lion, sweeping his gaze over each shocked team mber, his voice squeezed through clenched teeth, carrying a tallic edge:

"At the police station entrance, in broad daylight, ambush! Assassination!"

He punched the table again, roaring: "Is this not silencing? Is this not retaliation?!"

He pointed intensely at the photos of Xie Zhile and Chen Yaoxing on the whiteboard, his finger trembling fiercely with anger:

"It's definitely them, it's definitely Xie Zhile's people.

"Old Ma, I damn well just dread of him, I dread of him stretching out to covered in blood, I damn well... I didn't take it seriously, I didn't..."

He couldn't continue speaking.

The office fell into a dead silence, only Li Wenbin's heavy and suffocating breaths, along with the faint sobbing of a few female team mbers.

At this mont, the door to the conference room was gently knocked.

Everyone instinctively looked towards the sound.

Director of Belize Police Headquarters Schultz stood at the doorway, his tall figure nearly blocking the entire door fra.

His face initially showed a formality of routine seriousness, but as his gaze swept over each face filled with grief and bewildernt, he sharply sensed the extrely abnormal atmosphere, that seriousness instantly turned into astonishnt and confusion.

"Li?" Schultz's English carried a strong local accent, he hesitated and spoke, "What's going on with you all? What happened?"
