Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: "Missing" Executive? (Big Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Got him," Vigina glanced at the young man in front of her and said casually, "but you all came too late, he just ran."

She was not surprised that these Ains people would come here; if they lacked even this bit of ’intuition,’ they wouldn’t have the qualifications to stand here.

"Ran?" The young man suddenly widened his eyes, raising his hand as if he couldn’t control his emotions for a moment, "How could you let him run?! Don’t you know he’s the assassin who tried to kill the President?! Such an important suspect, and you let him escape?"

His voice grew more suppressed; he took a step forward, and his last words came out almost as a low roar.

However, Vigina merely glanced at him, then raised her hand to open the data file in her hand, revealing the photo of the recent explosion at the top, pointing to the overhead, "Look, right here on the top of the building, with one shot, blown up like this. In that situation, do you think you could have controlled Paxiu?"

"This is not an excuse—" The young man glanced at the photo, somewhat extraordinarily angry, then looked up to see Vigina’s calm gaze and the line of young agents behind her, taking a slight breath, "Director Vigina, do you know where he’s headed?"

"I don’t know," Vigina shook her head, "Perhaps you can look around nearby; we’re short on manpower right now, so we might not be able to assign anyone to search for Paxiu temporarily."

She genuinely didn’t know; after all, she left that lava field first and was unaware of which direction He Ao went afterward.

The young man gazed at Vigina’s face, seemingly trying to see if the woman before him was telling the truth.

However, Vigina paid no attention to his gaze; at that moment, a young FBI agent ran over, leaned in, and said a few words into her ear.

"What?" She turned her head, somewhat shocked, at the approaching agent.

Upon seeing the agent nod, she lifted her head, looked at the young man before her, and quickly said, "I’ve got some business here; if you want to search, go right ahead."

As she spoke, she turned around, preparing to leave.

But as she turned halfway, she suddenly realized something, turned to the young man, and said casually, "We’re short of personnel to seal off the nearby area. If you want to search the nearby area, you could leave some men behind."

With that, she fully turned around, heading toward the direction of the executives a short distance away.

"Sir, this woman seems unwilling to cooperate with us." Watching Vigina walk away, a man in black slowly approached the young man and said softly.

"What can you do," the young man pulled out a steel cigarette case from his pocket, took a cigarette from it, and put it in his mouth, "Do you want to take on the wrath of the entire FBI by shooting an FBI Branch Director in the street?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black fell silent.

"This woman likely has a lot of secrets," the young man took out a lighter and ignited the cigarette, "She managed to capture Paxiu when we got nothing; she definitely knows something, just unwilling to say."

"Should we have someone track her?" The man in black lowered his voice and whispered.

"Do we have anyone in our group who can tail an experienced D-level FBI Branch Director without being detected?" The young man asked coldly, his cigarette dangling from his mouth.

The man in black paused in his speech, suddenly becoming silent.

"Think before you speak," The young man turned and walked towards the direction they had come from, "I’ll report this information to the higher-ups."

"Understood," the man in black hurriedly said, then followed the young man and whispered, "Should we leave some people to help that woman seal the area?"

The young man paused, looked at the man in black, "Do you think she’ll voluntarily tell you about all the nearby areas?"

He sighed lightly, continued forward, heading towards the direction where Bullhorn Giant appeared, "Leave more men, and try to search all the nearby areas thoroughly."

"Yes!" The man in black responded quickly.

······

"They left people behind? Hmm, I know, assign the area near the south to them, place one or two of our people around and see what they want to do." Vigina quickly instructed the young agent beside her as she stood before the crowd of executives.

"Alright, Director." The young agent nodded and walked to the other side.

Watching the young agent walk away, Vigina refocused her thoughts.

Those Ains people would definitely arrange to search the area, so she offered to have them leave some people to cooperate with the FBI in sealing the area.

Instead of letting them act secretly, she chose to put everything in the open under her supervision.

However, even so, Vigina knew that they would definitely sneak some people around here.

But due to the ’cooperation’ on the surface, those secretly arranged personnel couldn’t be too bold and wouldn’t be too numerous, keeping the overall situation under her control.

Vigina withdrew her gaze and looked at the executives before her, noticing two who had just been ’invited here.’

After ensuring all the executives were aware of her presence, she asked, "Everyone, now that most of your colleagues are here, do you have anything to say?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"Director Vigina, can’t you find us a warmer place to rest?" A female executive with bright lipstick and a cigarette hanging from her lips broke the silence, "We’ve been in this cold wind for half a day; even a suspect has some rights."

"Director Vigina, if you’re going to limit our freedom, you need to present an arrest warrant and clearly explain what crimes we’ve committed. Do you think we’d kidnap our CEO? Just because you’re the FBI director doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want." A commotion began among the crowd, with some starting to echo the female executive’s words.

"I’ve already contacted my private lawyer; he’s on his way," another executive echoed, "I won’t say a word until the lawyer arrives and ensures all procedures are legal."

Listening to the crowd, Vigina remained calm, "Alright, let me remind you then,"

She gazed at each face, pausing in her speech, speaking syllables very deliberately, "Assas! sinate! The! Presi! dent!"

As her words fell, the expressions of everyone standing there changed slightly.

Even the executive who confidently claimed he wouldn’t speak before the lawyer came instinctively defended, "Director Vigina, isn’t your joke a bit too over the top? Assassinating the President, what’s the benefit for us? We wouldn’t take such huge risks."

"Indeed""Exactly""Director Vigina, your speculations are rather baseless."······

As sounds of agreement arose within the crowd, Vigina carefully observed the faces of these executives.

She had deliberately left these executives in the cold wind to wear down their rationality.

The longer a person stays in an uncomfortable environment, the more likely they are to feel restless, emotional, and have reduced reasoning and judgment.

At that moment, throwing out a shocking question, watching their instinctive reactions, could provide insight into some of their true thoughts and feelings.

This was indeed a borderline tactic; she hadn’t restricted their freedom or interrogated them, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t use some interrogation skills.

From the current reactions of these executives, it was clear they were hiding something in their hearts, but it seemingly wasn’t related to the assassination of the President.

They’re not good people, but it seems they were indeed not involved in the assassination of the President.

Of course, it can’t be ruled out that some might be hiding their emotions, which is not difficult for professional agents.

Buzz——

At this moment, Vigina’s wristband vibrated slightly.

"Is everyone here?" An executive suddenly raised his head and glanced at the ’colleagues’ around Vigina, "Why do I feel like there’s someone missing?"

"The head of the rare earth minerals division," said a bearded man squatting on the ground smoking, slowly, "only that guy hasn’t come."

"Kailuo?" Some executives in the crowd began to realize, "Indeed, why hasn’t he come?"

"Director Vigina, you missed calling someone." An executive raised his head, looked at Vigina, and said quietly.

"Kailuo, I know," Vigina glanced at her wristband’s content, then put it down and looked over the nearby executives, "My people couldn’t reach him; according to the information I have, he is probably missing, about the same time as your CEO disappeared."

As her words fell, the reactions of the executives also caught her eye.

If their faces appeared similarly bewildered when facing the earlier probe about the ’President’s assassination,’

They showed noticeable changes upon learning that this ’Kailuo’ was missing.

Some were happy, some looked disappointed, some seemed schadenfreude.

"The rare earth minerals division is the most important division of the Kewort Group in Denno City," Vigina looked at everyone’s faces and asked with a smile, "I heard this Kailuo was nearly the second in command at your company? If your current CEO is transferred, he’d become the new CEO, correct?"

At this point, her words paused, hinting, "If your CEO had an ’incident,’ he’d also be able to smoothly become the new CEO?"

Her words made the surrounding executives change their expressions, showing varied looks.

Vigina was releasing ’information,’ hinting that she suspected ’Kailuo’ kidnapped the CEO.

"Regarding this ’Kailuo,’" Vigina looked at the executives and continued to smile, "do you know anything about him? Please rest assured, this isn’t an interrogation, just understanding the situation with you."

The crowd fell into a brief silence, some wanted to speak but glanced around at the other executives and shut their mouths again.

Eventually, the bearded man smoking broke the silence, he looked at Vigina and said hoarsely, "Director Vigina, you don’t have to sow discord among us, if we took down Kailuo, indeed someone might replace him, but if you want to play this trick and make us provide testimony disadvantageous to the group, you’re thinking too much."

"Don’t forget," Vigina glanced at the bearded man and continued, "your Kailuo is also missing."

Her gaze swept over the few executives who wanted to speak but hesitated, with a smile she said, "You’ve seen the situation on the top floor of the building, speaking out what you know about him is actually helping him."

After these words, the crowd fell silent again.

"We actually have no personal interactions with him beyond work, Kailuo isn’t from Denno City, he was directly transferred from Ains," an executive finally said, "he’s only been in the company for less than three years."

"He has quite strong abilities," another executive added, "but his promotion speed is indeed a bit fast."

The implication of this sentence is that his ability doesn’t match his status, and his promotion is very fast, like someone with connections.

No wonder the mention of this person brought out so many expressions from these executives.

Once someone started, the surrounding executives also began chatting one after another.

Vigina didn’t interrupt them, simultaneously gathering their information while glancing at her wristband.

At this moment, an anonymous number sent her a message to the wristband. The content was simple, just one sentence.

’These executives aren’t closely related to the assassination case; ask about the one who didn’t come.’

Vigina’s gaze swept across the surroundings and through one of the glass windows of the building saw a blurry figure.

But her gaze didn’t linger on that figure, continuing to sweep around, and she put down the wristband.

Although the message was unsigned, she realized at first glance that it was sent by ’Paxiu.’

Though she didn’t know how ’Paxiu’ knew these executives are not related to the assassination and about the missing executive, she followed ’Paxiu’s advice and asked.

As Vigina put down her wristband, the executives’ ’discussion’ gradually reached its peak.

Information about that ’Kailuo’ was further disclosed.

This person started at Ains and was then transferred to Denno City.

Right after, he seemed to have hit the jackpot, in three years, he moved from a small team leader to the head of the most important division at the Denno branch, becoming the individual most likely to succeed the CEO at the branch.

Such ’rapid promotion’ naturally affected many original executives’ interests.

After all, the board of directors only allocated so much pie to the executives; if one person eats more, others eat less, if one person suddenly occupies a high position, other promotions have to slow down.

This led to Kailuo not being well-liked in Denno City, and the greatest affected was the bearded man, Kailuo’s direct competitor for the head of the rare earth minerals division.

Due to poor relationships, Kailuo rarely interacted with these local executives, and among the executives here, only a few were promoted by him.

During off-work hours, he mostly stayed at home and didn’t attend various gatherings.

Clearly, this Kailuo was trusted greatly by the ’CEO,’ otherwise, he wouldn’t have been promoted so quickly.

But the reason he received this ’trust,’ what could it be?

This ’Kailuo’ seemed to have quite a few secrets.

Vigina raised her hand to signal to a nearby young agent to take notes on the executives’ discussions.

Buzz——

At this moment, Vigina’s wristband vibrated again, with another anonymous number sending a message.
