Chapter 805 The Lost Lamb
After passing through several checkpoints along the way, and finally swiping the specially encrypted password lock and unlocking the pupils and fingerprints for the last time, the assistant secretary of the Minister of Security entered a special room.
There are all kinds of advanced equipment here, as well as many professional elites. They are all talents from the army and police force discovered by the minister.
This is the headquarters of the Ministry of Security and the hub that directs the entire national security system. The secretary is currently facing an independent office in the room that is surrounded by glass.
The curtain was only lowered halfway, but it was enough to see how many people were inside - the security minister was the only one here at this time.
"Minister." The secretary called slowly after opening the door.
The security minister, who was leaning on the chair and only covered by his coat, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were already covered with bloodshot eyes - from the time of the hostage hijacking case to now, in the past two days and three nights, he had not really rested, nor had he left the command center.
Very haggard looking.
"Minister, why don't you go to the lounge and take a nap first?" the secretary said worriedly.
The minister waved his hand, and then rubbed his face vigorously a few times. His voice was a little hoarse, but still clear: "What's the news?"
Many things happened in the past two days, the most important of which was naturally the hijacking of the theater and the assassination of the Senate President.
Because things almost happened at the same time, His Excellency the President was furious and gave a death order, and the murderer must be found as soon as possible.
"Everyone who participated in the concert that day is under investigation. I will notify you as soon as there is any news."
The minister was still rubbing his eyebrows, "What else is going on?"
The secretary quickly opened the document on hand, "It's like this. Regarding the investigation of the theater hijacking, people from the technical department examined the remains of the bomb that was brought back, and they found something."
< br>
Opening the document, then turning it over, the secretary pushed the document directly in front of the minister.
The minister picked it up and read it carefully. He would not be careless about anything, even some insignificant things mentioned in this document... But his brows suddenly frowned: "Black powder The residue?”
The secretary nodded: "Yes, the technical department said that from some of the remains of the bomb, it can be inferred that this kind of thing should be produced in a standard way. Logically speaking, the amount originally buried in the theater was enough to blow the entire theater to pieces. ...But for some reason, the high-concentration explosive inside turned into black powder. We found an activated detonator from Roger's body. We believe that before he died, he planned to activate these bombs and die together. Yes. But..."
"The last resort that was supposed to be used to kill each other turned into black powder with no power at all..." The minister pondered for a moment: "Do you think Roger was being tricked when he got these bombs? ?”
The secretary shook his head: "I believe that a buyer like him will still do the minimum acceptance inspection."
"This is strange..." The minister became more confused and looked at his secretary: "In addition, during the process of rescuing the Senate President, some strange things also happened. According to the confession of the Storm Team at the time, they were Before arriving, Crocodile and another gangster had already passed out, but we believed that the Senate President was the only one left in the room."
The secretary also said: "In fact, when we were in the concert hall, the gangsters who were guarding fell into a coma for no reason. Later, our people seized the guns of these gangsters, and even found that all the magazines in these guns disappeared. ...But according to what the hostages said at the time, these guns should have bullets, because the gangsters had fired before."
Things seem to be getting weirder and weirder.
The minister suddenly felt an unknown feeling... When something goes beyond conventional understanding, it is easy for people to fall into an inexplicable fear.
There is no doubt that the Minister is not a man who likes to be unable to explain something.
"Have people go to the theater to investigate again, and don't miss any tiny thing." The minister immediately ordered, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, have the communications and power outside been restored?"
"Some people are already making emergency repairs, but the scope is too wide. Several major cables have been burned out due to short circuits. I'm afraid it will take at least another 48 hours before power can be restored to the whole city. As for communications, they can be repaired soon. . But during the storm, most of the electronic devices on hand were burned down... There are not so many supplies such as mobile phones on the market, which may be a troublesome thing. "
Despite this, the hub of the security department is still working as usual - because the equipment and power supply system here are independent systems, the security is quite remarkable.
"What's the reason?"
"We have specifically consulted several professors at the Research Institute, but their opinions are not very consistent." The secretary said helplessly: "I have also asked at the observatory, and they also said that they have not found any particularly strong activity on the sun."
"The hijacking case, the assassination of the Senate President, and the storm disaster all happened in these two days... It was like a world dominated by terror in a movie." The minister suddenly smiled bitterly, "What happened in this God's day... City, what an irony..."
"Everything has its cause, as long as we can find a breakthrough." The secretary comforted.
The minister nodded, then cheered up: "Pour me a cup of coffee."
The secretary quickly said: "Minister, you haven't gone home for several days without rest... How about you go back and rest for half a day? Besides, Dr. French was also frightened this time. You... you don't plan to go home." Go and see him?”
The minister was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Didn't he ask Billy's people to send him home?"
The secretary said: "Doctor, he didn't go back later and went directly back to the university's laboratory. I heard that he had been running to the place where Mr. Billy was hospitalized for the past two days, but the bodyguards didn't let him pass. As for Mr. Billy's operation, although it was very successful , but I haven’t woken up in the past two days. The doctor said that I lost too much blood and was infected with some bacteria. I have been having a high fever for the past two days.”
The minister rubbed his forehead: "How did he get in touch with Billy... Are you still soliciting sponsorship for the satellite launch plan? Doing some thankless things... this stubborn guy."
"Minister..."
"Okay, I understand." The minister waved his hand: "I still have a few documents that I haven't finished reading. I have a meeting in the afternoon and I have to go to the Presidential Palace before five o'clock. Other things... I'll talk about it when I'm free. ”
"Okay, then I'll go out too." The secretary had no choice but to nod.
……
……
‘WHITE-HELL’
Next to the lamppost opposite the door of the White Hell Bar, Caroline and Arnold were looking at it - it had been half an hour since they arrived.
After several discussions, in order to prove her innocence, Caroline planned to find Hailey. The only clue was what Livia had mentioned. She and her boyfriend had had sex several times. Have a date inside this 'WHITE-HELL'.
According to what Arnold mentioned about Hailey, Caroline felt that a gangster like Hailey should know the people in 'WHITE-HELL', so she might be able to get Hailey's name from some employees in the bar. news.
"The door hasn't been opened yet." Arnold frowned.
Due to the strange weather, many places in the city are still without electricity. As for the people in the city, they are also busy cleaning up the losses caused by the weather. Both sides of the road now look very deserted.
"I'm afraid we won't open the door today." Arnold said helplessly as he looked at Caroline.
There was a hint of irritation on Caroline's face. She had smoked one after another women's cigarettes, and there were already seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Arnold frowned, snatched the cigarette that Caroline had just lit, and stamped it out while still on the ground, "Relax, you are in a bad state."
"Don't worry about me." Caroline frowned, then walked straight towards the door of 'WHITE-HELL'.
Arnold had no choice but to follow quickly.
I don’t know who I heard say that you should never confront a woman who has decided something. Because such women are more stubborn than men.
Arnold thought that Caroline might be this type - she was banging on the 'WHITE-HELL' gate hard.
But it seemed that such a simple and crude method had a good effect - soon, 'WHITE-HELL' actually opened, and a big man covered in tattoos opened the door impatiently and said, "What's the matter? We have a power outage today." It’s open for business, hurry up!”
"Let me ask you something!" Caroline said quickly, while taking out a few bills from her bag, "Your reward is indispensable."
"Miss, you really know the rules. Tell me, what do you want to ask?" It was obviously not the first time that someone asked him something - so this big man put Caroline's banknotes directly into his pocket very skillfully.
"Have you seen Hailey? Do you know where he has been recently?" Caroline asked straight to the point.
The big man was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth, then frowned and took out the money he had stuffed into his pocket, "Are you kidding me? Isn't Hailey right next to you?"
Caroline was startled, and subconsciously looked at Arnold beside her, who just gave her a helpless smile, "This is not the first time this has happened to me...have you seen it too?"
Having said that, Arnold didn't explain too much. He just took out his ID card and waved it in front of the big man: "See clearly, my name is Arnold. The Hailey you mentioned and I are twins. . Now Haili is missing and I can’t find him, so I came here to ask.”
The big man held his ID card and looked back and forth several times before grabbing his hair and saying, "Isn't this ID a fake? I've never heard him say that he has a twin brother?"
Arnold said calmly: "If you don't believe it, I can go to the police station with you and check whether this ID card is genuine."
The big man shook his head, returned the things to Arnold, then shrugged, but he quickly stuffed the banknotes he just took out back into his pocket, "I haven't seen this guy for more than a month. . Sorry, I don’t know where he is now.”
"Then what was he doing when you last saw him? Did he talk about his body or something?" Caroline asked.
The big man was very cooperative after accepting the money. He shrugged and said: "What else can that guy do? Isn't he just here to pick up a prostitute? The last time I saw him, he probably happened to pick up a prostitute."< br>
"Whore?" Caroline frowned.
The big man chuckled and said, "I forgot her name, but that woman has hooked up with several men here, so I recognize her. I even talked about it with Haili and said that this woman is very coquettish! Then Haili said Take action... Hey, this guy is actually not bad looking, and he looks presentable after dressing up, and he hooked up in just two moments."
Caroline's brows were almost twisted into a frown.
She couldn't help feeling sad for Livia in her heart.
Livia told her that her boyfriend never knew his identity and occupation. Unexpectedly, people already knew about it a long time ago, and they came here just for this reason.
I'm afraid she knew that Livia was a call girl and planned to defraud Livia of money and sex from the beginning.
"Oh... By the way, you might be able to go to a place where you might be able to find Hailey." The big man seemed to have remembered something.
"Say it." Caroline glared.
But this big man pursed his lips and had a strange smile on his face. Caroline glared hatefully again, then reluctantly took out a few more bills and slapped them in front of the big man's chest.
"Kata Club." The big man said with a smile: "One time he drank too much and said he wanted a temporary job there. However, I don't know that he is still doing it now."
As he spoke, he stared at Arnold next to Caroline with strange eyes, and then rubbed his chin, his sly smile became even stronger.
Arnold frowned and said: "Where is the Kata Club?"
Caroline said coldly: "A place where rich women look for men."
"Miss, do you know something about it? Have you ever played there?" The big man laughed strangely.
"Shut your mouth!" Caroline gave her a cold look, then turned angrily and walked away, and Arnold had to follow her quickly.
……
The two of them quickly disappeared from the sight of the big man.
The big man didn't pay attention. He happily counted the consulting fees he got from Caroline and even whistled. But at this moment, he heard very clear footsteps.
A woman wearing a black dress and holding a black umbrella was walking past him and then stopped.
This woman was very pale and looked extremely weak. The woman raised her head and took a look at the facade of 'WHITE-HELL', and the big man also saw her face clearly.
This big man is used to hanging out in romantic places, so he couldn't help but say: "Hey, beauty, there is a power outage and we are closed at night. But I can open a private room for you. Do you want to come in and have fun? I'll buy you a drink!"
"'WHITE-HELL'...White Hell." The woman smiled slightly: "Is there any place with such a name?"
"Is it cool enough?" The big man was quite proud.
The woman chuckled and said: "It's really hell inside. Are there any devils?"
"Do you like the devil?" The big man laughed, and then flexed his chest muscles, "The devil is not as strong as me."
"Then please let me have a look." The woman holding a black umbrella smiled sweetly: "It happens that my family and I are homeless now and are planning to find a place to live."
As she said that, the woman gave a seductive look, then walked directly past the big man and walked straight into the 'WHITE-HELL' bar.
The big man showed an expression of obsession, his eyes were dull, and he slowly followed in.
Not long after, there was a scream.
In front of the door, a bloody palm stretched out and clung to the door panel, but in the blink of an eye the palm quickly let go, as if it was dragged in by something.
The gate suddenly fell down and made a heavy sound.
This ‘WHITE-HELL’ bar is closed again. (End of chapter)
