Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: The Origin of the Disaster (Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Tickets)

[The situation regarding the President’s assassination is complex; I’ve encountered multiple bizarre phenomena in the investigation.]

[The exposed assassin Paxiu doesn’t seem to have fired a shot. The President’s three gunshot wounds are suspected to come from other assassins, but the scene was extremely chaotic at the time. It seems someone deliberately misled our perspective, causing us to overlook the presence of other assassins.]

[The local Kewort Group has close relations with the City Government and is very likely to have interfered with the on-site situation, but relevant personnel who might know the data have all been eliminated, and their actions resemble those of a tightly-knit espionage organization.]

[The official documents from the City Government have been deliberately modified or concealed, making it impossible to trace any marks when retrieving this information.]

[Kewort Group seems intent on obstructing the investigation, but they handled their traces very well, leaving no obvious loopholes.]

[The fleeing assassin Paxiu is suspected to have received some unknown support; the power and decision-making he exhibited exceeded his expected level.]

[Currently, the obstacles encountered in the case investigation process in Denno City far exceed imagination; we need personnel support and]

The entire document abruptly stops here.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and glanced at the moving mechanical arms and bright lights nearby.

The document itself seems like some kind of ’reporting’ and ’appeal for help,’ but it wasn’t formatted according to the Federal Central’s civil service report layout, nor does it have any department name or corresponding identity signature.

This is a ’draft,’ and it is a draft that was ’deleted’ before it was completed.

If this were a complete draft, combined with Suote’s experiences, He Ao could assume the spectacle-wearing man wrote it out completely, reformatted it, and sent out a new version.

However, a draft that hasn’t been finished often means the writer feels dissatisfied with the entire draft, or even with the act of writing the draft itself.

Does he not want to seek help? Is he afraid that requesting assistance might affect how he’s evaluated up above, thus impacting his career path?

That’s one possible reason.

From Suote’s experience, in Ains, many ’stupid matters’ occur because of this mindset.

When the executor carries out an event that benefits the Federation but detrimentally affects themselves, they often make wrong choices and engage in laughable stupid acts.

But He Ao has ’observed’ the thinking of the spectacle-wearing man up close before. Generally speaking, the spectacle-wearing man’s thought process and decisions are relatively ’smart,’ not like someone obsessed with climbing up the ranks.

If the spectacle-wearing man isn’t afraid of affecting his career path, then the reason for not requesting assistance is worth considering.

Of course, anyone can act foolishly at times, and not requesting assistance now doesn’t mean he won’t ask for it in the future, so we can’t jump to conclusions immediately.

However, the content of this draft itself already provides enough clues.

The spectacle-wearing man isn’t lacking in ability. While openly searching for He Ao, he was also deeply investigating the whole incident and has achieved some preliminary results.

This information was not ’read’ by He Ao when he attempted mind reading on the spectacle-wearing man.

Moreover, as an apparent ’investigator,’ the spectacle-wearing man could access some information from the City Government and Kewort Group, and his remarks indirectly confirmed some of He Ao’s earlier suspicions.

Gathering his thoughts, He Ao closed the document and looked up at the storage chip already disassembled before him.

Eve was quickly connecting this chip to a public motherboard, trying to decrypt the chip and read its contents.

This is the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s laboratory; they had returned.

The spectacle-wearing man was very cautious, leaving nothing behind in that villa study except this draft not yet completely emptied from the computer.

"How long will this data reading take?" Vigina glanced at He Ao, who was staring at the mechanical arm, and asked softly.

"This storage chip uses a unique encryption method," He Ao gazed at the storage chip and glanced at the decryption progress sent by Eve on his wristband, shaking his head, "It’ll probably take a while."

The broken tablet itself didn’t have a complex structure, but the storage chip employed a special encryption method.

It looks like equipment customized by a large institution from a corresponding vendor with their own developed encryption algorithm.

He Ao turned his gaze, seemingly recalling something, and looked at Vigina, "Have the people who went into the wilderness returned?"

"No," Vigina shook her head, "we only sent them out this morning, even with the map you drew, it’ll still take some time to go and return."

"If they travel quickly, they will be back in two or three hours at most," He Ao nodded lightly, looking at Vigina, and then asked, "Have those executives arrived?"

"Yes." Vigina nodded.

Conference Room of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Rows of neatly clothed figures in tight silk suits sat densely on both sides of an elliptical long table in the meeting room, with a young FBI agent guarding the door.

These well-dressed gentlemen looked around, seemingly uncomfortable while seated.

Among them, a few leading individuals exchanged glances. A fair-skinned and alluring female executive stood up, revealing a body wrapped in a tight pencil skirt, and walked toward a young agent.

She pulled out a china tobacco case, with a faint fragrance and inset with emerald, from her bosom, drew a slender cigarette, and handed it to the young agent at the door, smiling with red lips, "Hey there, fancy a cigarette?"

The young agent looked at her, his face impassive, and said, "I don’t smoke."

"Don’t be like that," she extended her voice, her eyes soft like spring water, gazing at the young agent, sweeping fingers towards the young agent’s chest, smiling, "I just wanted to ask how much longer we need to wait here, it’s almost lunchtime."

The young agent looked at the alluring woman before him, his body visibly stiffened, though he still backed away from her outstretched hand, "You’ve just arrived here, haven’t been sitting for ten minutes; the director will soon arrive."

"Is that so," the female executive looked at the young agent, her mouth slightly curved. She raised her hand and produced a ruby brooch as if by magic, extending it towards the young agent’s chest, "Hey there, you’re quite handsome, may I give you a small gift?"

The young agent’s expression stiffened again, backing another step until he leaned against the wall.

"This thing isn’t worth much; it just looks nice." The female executive continued to smile, extending the brooch towards the young agent’s pocket, watching his tense demeanor.

A broad and powerful hand suddenly reached out from the side, pinching the brooch, followed by a curious chuckle, "Oh, what a nice item."

The female executive looked up, her face stiffening as she saw the emerging figure.

He Ao glanced at the ruby brooch in his hand, and instantly dismantled its structure, extracting the miniature listening device hidden inside.

"Miss, are you high-level executives who moonlight as spies?" He Ao smiled and looked at the woman before him, gently pinching his fingers.

Accompanied by a ’cracking’ sound, the entire eavesdropping device turned to powder.

"Paxiu?" The female executive looked nervously at He Ao, taking a few steps back, "Weren’t you wanted?"

"Oh," He Ao shrugged, casually walked to the head of the conference table, sat down directly, glanced at the executives sitting on both sides with somewhat pale faces, and smiled, "I just suddenly changed my mind, wanted to come back and kill a few people."

The faces of the numerous executives instantly froze.

"You’ve done well, go take a rest, I’ll handle the rest," Vigina’s voice sounded from the side.

The crowd turned their gaze to her as she calmed the young agent who was startled by this ’temptation’, and after the young agent left, walked to the front of the conference table.

She stood next to He Ao, raised her head, and swept a glance at the executives around the conference table, calmly saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Paxiu is currently participating in this event as a witness. The reason for calling you here is simple, I want to know everything you ’understand’ about Kailuo and your CEO."

The executives were slightly taken aback by these words and fell silent for a moment.

"Hey, guys, don’t just stay silent," He Ao leaned back in his chair, propped his feet on the conference table, and smiled, "Director Vigina is asking you a question."

The executives looked up to see He Ao sitting at the head, Vigina standing beside him, as if He Ao was the real ’boss’ here.

"Paxiu, do you not understand your position," a bearded executive couldn’t help but say coldly, "you’re just a wanted man, what right do you have to demand anything from us?"

"First of all, I haven’t been convicted yet, I’m just a suspect, not a criminal," He Ao raised a finger and gently shook it.

The next second, the bearded executive felt a sudden chill down his spine, sensing a hand placed on his shoulder from behind, his body instantly tense.

At that moment, he felt like a tiger had pounced on him in the dark, any movement would result in his neck being instantly broken.

A slight cold sweat seeped from the corner of his forehead.

By this time, when the others looked back at the main seat of the conference table, the figure sitting there had vanished without a trace.

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid," He Ao chuckled, patting the stiffened body of the bearded executive, "I’m just taking a walk, don’t be afraid."

He raised his hand to pat the bearded executive’s fluffy head, as if patting a gourd that could be easily crushed, smiling, "There’s no point in killing you, right? You’re not the President."

Hearing these casual words, as if engaging in small talk, the backs of everyone present, except for Vigina, were drenched with sweat.

It was as if a pair of cold eyes were watching each and every one of them.

The other party dared to kill even the President, what are they compared to the President?

Click—

With a soft sound, He Ao once again placed his feet on the table, "Alright, alright, you can continue talking."

The group exchanged glances, and finally, an executive slowly opened his mouth, "We don’t know much about Kailuo, he rose quickly and hardly socializes with us, we don’t even have the opportunity to get close to him..."

"But he’s close to the CEO," the bearded man next to him slowly added, "I’ve seen him privately enter the CEO’s private villa."

With the first person speaking up, the subsequent executives gradually ’opened up’.

And from their words and thoughts, He Ao roughly summarized their impression of ’Kailuo’ and the ’CEO’.

The information about Kailuo was not much different from He Ao’s previous impressions, the only new piece of information was that he seemed to get along very well with the current CEO of the Denor branch of the Kewort Group.

It’s an exceptional rapport compared to other executives.

So much so that some people believed the two might have some familial connection.

From one executive’s thoughts, He Ao also learned that he once considered secretly reporting the two to the board of the group, but eventually gave up.

It seems these executives also didn’t know how Kailuo got close to the CEO.

The ’official’ story is that the CEO recognized Kailuo’s abilities and promoted him especially.

Of course, the executives present didn’t believe it.

Regarding the CEO, the executives had a somewhat complicated ’impression’.

But to put it simply, the CEO is a very smart but cold-blooded and selfish person.

He clearly sees his subordinates’ mistakes and decides whether to punish them based on timing, keeping everyone’s ’tails’ in his hands.

He profits himself, extracting considerable benefits from the Kewort Group through various means, turning the group’s money into his own.

But he is also highly capable, significantly increasing mineral production during his tenure.

His methods are also ruthlessly harsh, once an executive secretly claimed to report him, only to disappear from the world forever before taking any action.

Of course, if he’s ruthless to the executives, he’s even more ruthless to the miners.

He strongly promoted a special stimulant in the mines, requiring miners to purchase and inject it at their own cost, or face dismissal.

After taking it, the miners remained energetic for the entire day, greatly extending work hours.

The downside, however, was that after prolonged use, the miners developed drug dependencies and started seeking the most potent stimulants.

By then, their bodies could no longer sustain the work, leading to their dismissal.

The executives have always known about this, but the CEO isn’t one to ’hog the profits’.

The entire production and sales chain of this drug is controlled by the CEO, and every ’executive’ he trusts can ’buy shares’ and receive a portion of the profits.

The only one among these executives who hasn’t shared in the profits is the seemingly most trusted ’Kailuo’.

He Ao quietly listened to the executives’ accounts, his expression gradually turning cold.

When the executives finally finished relating the overall ’information’, He Ao slowly stood up, looked at the executives present, and calmly asked, "One last question, where is Kewort’s largest rare earth mine located?"

The executives’ faces stiffened, falling into silence for a moment.

But He Ao had already got the answer.

Slorx Grand Canyon.

Dark Lizard had crawled out from that canyon.
