Chapter 1890: Investigation

“Freemasons!”

Hearing these three words, even Lin Jingzhan could not remain calm.

“Are you sure?”

“I saw the Freemasons’ logo on the box, but I destroyed it so he didn’t see it.”

“Why are those old things involved in this matter?”

“Perhaps they realized that it’s unrealistic to use conventional methods to achieve the unification of the world, so they adopted this method.”

“They probably started planning this a long time ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to suddenly come up with the gene serum.” Lin Jingzhan laughed and said.

“This world is getting crazier and crazier. I can’t wait.”

Doza, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

On the top-floor viewing platform was a small outdoor cafe.

It was a place where people could enjoy sunbathing and slowly taste coffee.

Moreover, there was a huge swimming pool here, surrounded by gla.s.s.

The beauties who came to stay here did not mind at all. They showed their figures to outsiders like it was their own swimming pool.

In the corner of the open-air cafe sat two middle-aged men.

One of them was wearing a blue suit and wore an AP Royal Oak on his hand. Whether it was his meticulous hairstyle or his slightly stubbled chin, he gave off an extremely gentlemanly feeling.

But wearing this clothing in such weather made it unbearably hot.

Compared to the man in the blue suit, the black man sitting next to him seemed a bit more comfortable. He had switched his jacket for a white shirt, giving off a more relaxed impression.

Both men stared straight ahead, occasionally sipping their coffee as if enjoying the pleasant weather.

At that moment, a subordinate in a black suit approached them from behind.

“Mr. Evans, Mr. Walker.”

The black man, Evans, turned around. “Have you cleared up the matter at the Wenhua Hotel? What’s the situation with Fosse?”

“The place where the fire broke out yesterday was Fosse’s room. He and his two subordinates burned to death.”

“Burned to death!”

The news was hard for the two men to accept.

They knew well what kind of person Fosse was and couldn’t believe that his death happened at such a coincidental time.

“Are you certain the deceased is Fosse?”

The white man, Walker, asked.

“Yes, we are certain,” the subordinate in black replied.

“But according to the police investigation, the fire was caused by the carpet catching fire. They initially determined that the fire was likely intentional.”

“Moreover, the forensic examination revealed that Fosse and his two subordinates had fatal injuries on their bodies, suggesting they were already dead before the fire started.”

The two of them looked at each other with calm expressions.

They had already guessed this outcome.

Fosse’s ident.i.ty was very sensitive. It was normal for an accident to happen at this time.

However, the other party’s approach forced them to be cautious.

Killing people and setting fires were two separate things. They were nothing, but if they were put together, it complicated the matter.

Moreover, the two subordinates that Fosse had brought had already reached the C-cla.s.s. To be able to kill them silently meant that the person sent by the other party was at least B-cla.s.s.

In the entire world, the number of organizations who could do this could be counted on one hand.

“What do you think about this, Evans?” Walker said.

“For this transaction, Fosse was our biggest target. We didn’t get a full two kilograms of ore. This might affect our subsequent plans.”

Evans looked unusually serious.

“I don’t care where the ore goes now. I just want to know if the C-cla.s.s potion has been s.n.a.t.c.hed away.”

Walker’s expression changed slightly. Only then did he recall another hidden worry.

If the newly developed potions were lost, the impact of this matter would be unprecedented.

“With Fosse’s personality, he would definitely try it immediately after obtaining the potion. It’s unlikely that it would fall into the other party’s hands.”

“This is naturally the best outcome, but you need to understand that if there are any remnants left behind, the other party could still take it back for a.n.a.lysis.”

“I believe this was premeditated,” Walker said.

“They chose this timing because they must have known Fosse’s whereabouts.”

“Very likely,” Evans replied.

“If the other party has such capabilities, it narrows down our scope of investigation significantly.”

“Mr. Evans, something else happened after Fosse’s death,” the subordinate in black said.

“Their base in Somal was attacked by an unknown organization two days ago, resulting in heavy casualties.”

“I think these two incidents are connected,” Walker said.

“We must find the people who targeted Fosse and Black Snake. Our a.s.sets cannot fall into the wrong hands!”

“Yes, I will get on it right away!”

At around eight in the evening, Lin Yi’s flight landed at Yanjing Airport.

As soon as he left the airport, he saw three cars from the Central Guards Brigade parked at the entrance.

Seeing Lin Yi come out, Ning Che rushed up angrily and grabbed the soft flesh on Lin Yi’s waist.

“You still have the cheek to come back!”

“Easy, easy.”

Lin Yi flashed a smile and said.

“This has nothing to do with me. It’s all Song Jinmin’s fault. He said that it wasn’t appropriate to bring you guys along this time, so he took me away alone. If you’re unhappy, you can look for him.”

“Don’t talk nonsense with me. Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on.” Ning Che said.

“If you didn’t agree, he wouldn’t have taken you away.”

“Alright, at this point, there’s no point in talking about this.” Qiu Yuluo said.

“This is not the place to talk. Let’s find a place to eat first and talk while eating.”

“Let’s go.”

Then, the group arrived at a small seafood restaurant and prepared to have supper.

“How’s the situation in Qazar? Did it go out of control?”

“Everything’s fine. The reason for that is that we didn’t do anything else. We rushed back after killing Fosse. If we had delved deeper, we might have encountered trouble.”

“Trouble?”

“Fosse went to Qatar to do business with others involving gene serums,” Lin Yi said, biting into a piece of crayfish as he spoke.

“And he wasn’t the only one there. If we pursued this matter further, it would attract more people. Even with Song Jinmin by my side, the situation could easily spiral out of control.”

Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che nodded thoughtfully.

“Anyone capable of handling such a large transaction in one go must have a strong background,” Ning Che said.

“I heard from Boss Liu that you found half a vial of gene serum. Can you tell what type it is?”
