At the Houston airport, a handsome Italian art dealer made a declaration at customs with an oil painting of a young artist bought for 1,500 dollars.

When questioned by customs officers, the art dealer was particularly dissatisfied with his trip to the United States, believing that he had run in vain.

"The media praised this exhibition of oil paintings in Dallas, but it was just a bunch of mediocre people touting each other. This painting is 1,500 dollars, and I think it's a loss. ”

The customs officer, who had no interest in the art of oil painting, checked his proof of purchase and stamped his passport.

An art dealer, a bodyguard, this is standard, there is not the slightest doubt about it.

After them, less than half an hour after the flight from Houston to Paris, a man of almost fifty years old also passed through customs without any problems.

On Highway 35 from Armenia to Mexico, a Chevrolet drove at the maximum speed limit to the southwestern border city of Laredo.

In the wee hours of the morning, they drove the car not far from the courtyard where they had stayed when they came, and after wiping all the traces left in the car, Porzin came forward and knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

Soon, the same Hispanic man in his forties who had picked them up appeared at the door. "Welcome back, Tom. Are you done?"

"Yes, please send us there again as soon as possible. ”

"This is my job, you are the people who Boss Quatro specially explained, and I dare not slack off. What about your companions?"

Porzin gestured to the car not far away. "The car, along with the weapons in it, was given to you. ”

"Boss Quatro has already paid, how embarrassing is this......" Having said that, his movements were not slow at all, and he soon came to the side of the car, and his eyes lit up when he saw the weapons in the car.

He wanted to thank him, but when he saw Napov's cold expression, he closed his mouth. "Don't worry, I know the rules. Ask nothing, don't know anything. From this day on, we don't know each other either. ”

After dawn, the first batch of vehicles to clear customs included a group of gig workers from Mexico, who came to Ameniah to work during the day and returned at night.

However, due to the suspicious identity of two of them, the two who had just been recruited by a construction site were reported to the customs because of their identity.

Customs officers did not dare to be negligent and immediately deported the two to Mexico.

It's more difficult to send someone from Mexico, but it's much easier to send someone from Armenia.

Casually replacing the identities of two people can make the replaced person make a lot of money in Armenia, and everyone will be happy.

Monclo, as the intermediary manager, made the money of the Cuatro boss in this business, earned a car, and a few guns, and then he could make money again from the Mexicans who worked in the dark.

However, he did not know anything about what these people had done in Armenia, and he did not want to know, and the more he knew, the faster he died.

Both Nabov and Porzin, who had returned to Mexico, were secretly relieved, and when they arrived in Laredo, Mexico, they quickly came out of customs.

Soon, a police car took them to the airport, and then at a hotel in Mexico City, they met Plov.

And on the coffee table in front of Plov, there were newspapers of today's Armenia.

The front page headlines in these newspapers were the news of last night's explosion at the Moore storage site of the Phillips Oil Company.

Only a few tabloids in Houston published a homicide in Houston. News that two gangsters stormed a restaurant, killed two bodyguards, and injured two people, and then fled.

In this news, even the names of the parties were not published.

"I've learned everything about this time, and you've done a good job and it's in line with my expectations. ”

Porzin, who is also a Soviet, said to Plov in his native dialect: "Plov, does this mean that we passed?"

Plov smiled: "It depends on what the gentleman means." Personally, though, I think you should be ready to go to Austria and then go through the onboarding procedures. ”

Napov and Porzin were scheduled to rest at the hotel, where they would later catch a flight to Paris for a layover to Vienna.

And Plov departed early and took a flight to Zurich.

Armenia, Houston.

In front of Allen's hospital bed, county police from Oklahoma, city police from Houston, and federal police packed the wards tightly, and none of them were below the rank of superintendent.

This violent case in the small town of Moore is the largest number of casualties among the Armenian police since the beginning of the 80s.

In contrast, Phillips lost tens of millions of dollars this time, which was not so sensational.

The gangsters used gun-mounted howitzers, high-explosives, submachine guns. The policeman, armed only with a pistol, did not even see the other party's face, resulting in the tragic result of seven dead and sixteen injured.

In total, more than 30 people were killed and 50 injured, most of whom were injured by the shock wave of the explosion, which punctured their eardrums and permanently damaged their hearing.

At the same time, the president of the Phillips Group was attacked in Houston, two bodyguards died, and he and his young son, were only slightly injured.

By all indications, this was a premeditated act of violence against Phillips.

The murderer left no trace at the scene, and no one even saw the murderer's figure, if you want to solve this case, you must find out from the initiator of the incident, Alan Phillips.

From the hospital bed, Alan hung up the phone of a senator and couldn't help but sigh.

The impact of this incident is too great to shock the whole country, and now it is impossible to cover it up, so we can only find a way to deal with it.

However, even Alan didn't know who did it to him, not that there were no suspects, but that there were too many suspects.

Domestically, abroad, in Europe, in South America, except in Asia, everywhere there are opponents and enemies of Phillips Oil.

Far away, just in Houston, at least two oil companies went bankrupt because of Phillips Oil.

In addition, they compete with the top 10 oil companies in Armenia in all aspects, who does Alan dare to mention?

There are bigwigs behind every family, and there are a group of forces that rely on them to survive, and there is no solid evidence, he suspects anyone, but he doesn't dare to say it.

In the face of police persecution, he also said frankly: "Because of the particularity of the industry, Phillips has too many competitors, and without evidence, any one can only be suspected." ”

Harry, the head of the FBI, said: "Since the other party is doing it at this time, it is initially speculated that it should have a grudge with Phillips for no more than three years, so we don't need to investigate all the companies, we only need to investigate the companies that have been unhappy with Phillips in the past three years." ”

Houston's chief of police said: "The two murderers who appeared last night can also be the direction of investigation, so you need to continue to recall the details of the murderer you have talked to." ”

The Houston police chief is here to fight soy sauce, and compared to Moore's shocking case, this case in Houston is nothing compared to the shocking case.

And John, the chief of the Oklahoma County Police Department, is the most stressed of all.

In Armenia, counties are larger than cities, but Oklahoma is a state and one of the largest single metropolitan areas in the country, with six counties.

It was the chief of police in the Moore area who was the first to bear the brunt of this shocking case in his precinct.

Second, although Phillips Petroleum is registered in Delaware, it is headquartered in Oklahoma.

Not to mention, the Phillips family is also the majority shareholder and de facto controller of Oklahoma Bank.

The Bank of Oklahoma is the largest bank in the region, and the Phillips family's influence in Oklahoma is no weaker than that of the Bush family in Texas.

He, the police chief, is actually a minion attached to the Phillips family.

He is under pressure from all directions, it's difficult!

The police from different places linked the two incidents that happened yesterday again, re-combed them, and found a lot of directions that could be investigated, and then left the hospital.

Only John stayed, wanting to see what else Alan had to say.

Allen's mood was low, and the experience of last night kept coming back to his mind, and at that moment, he suddenly recognized his weakness.

In the face of unreasonable gangsters, his money, power, everything is not enough to rely on.

The tall bodyguard didn't even block a round, who can he really rely on?

What scared him even more was the arrangement behind the whole thing, everything was so seamless.

As soon as the gangsters left, his satellite phone rang to report the destruction of the Moore booster station and oil storage base.

The shot is precise and ruthless, but it leaves a trace of leeway.

Yes, he also wants to thank the other party for leaving him and his family alive, if the other party leaves no room for it, his family will definitely not survive.

Because of this glea, even if he lost tens of millions of dollars this time and had dozens of lives in compensation, it would cost a lot of money, but he was not angry and vomited blood.

What's more, half of the losses will be compensated by the insurance company.

John opened the information in his hand and reported to Allen what had happened at the Moore booster station last night.

From the mouths of the survivors, the police have highly restored all the processes.

However, the murderer did not leave a trace, and even now, the police cannot be sure that it was several gangsters who committed the murder.

The only thing that is certain is that there are no more than five people, because there is only one pickup truck on the other side.

Professionalism, this is the deepest impression of the police.

The arson case, which took place 30 kilometers away, quickly linked the burning pickup truck to the murderer's pickup truck.

It's just that the pickup truck was stolen earlier, and the police have long been registered. It was burned to an empty shelf, and no trace could be found on it.

Alan listened to John's report on all the information he had and asked softly, "John, you are professional, in your judgment, what kind of people are these people?"

"Definitely a retired professional soldier, moreover, there is an Eastern European style blasting specialist. ”

"Eastern European ......" Alan thought of the murderer he had spoken to last night, and his English was not very fluent. "Have you found the source of the explosives?"

"No, the other side used 100 kilograms of high explosives, and since it was an oil depot, the oil exploded, sputtered, and burned, and the testing of the explosives required more energy.

The most feared thing is that the opponent will mix different explosives that will hit, so it is difficult to identify the source of the explosives through the analysis of the composition of the explosives. ”

"I see. Alan was silent for a long time before he said again: "The other party obviously carefully planned all this, let me know that it was them, but did not leave a trace. ”

John asked excitedly, "Do you have a suspicion?"

Alan shook his head and said, "Don't ask, the other party is not something you can provoke." Also, you contact the FBI more, and I'll press Congress again, and after a while, find a scapegoat to close the case!"

"Find a scapegoat? If there is a mistake, it will be a big scandal!"

"Isn't it okay to wipe out the group? Do you still need me to teach you?"

John didn't dare to ask any more questions, and was already planning in his heart how to "reasonablely" place the guilt of the murderer on the heads of others.

That evening, Gore Phillips in Aberdeen, Scotland, and Calvin Phillips at the Oklahoma headquarters, along with other important members, came to the hospital in Houston.

After pacifying the relatives and letting them go home to rest, the bodyguards carefully inspected all corners of the ward and turned on the electronic jammers to prevent eavesdropping.

In the end, the bodyguards all withdrew, and there were only three family heads left in the ward, and Alan said: "The other party's methods are too professional, but too clean is also a style." ”

Al Gore is also a core member of the oil business and participates in the Designated Angola program. "Do you think our plans in Angola leaked out?"

Alan nodded. "The other party deliberately showed a little flaw to let me know that it was them. However, we do not have the slightest evidence and cannot even tell the police about our suspicions, because this would also expose our illegal activities in Angolia. ”

Gore nodded and said, "It's really like their style, but I don't know who is in charge this time......"

Alan shook his head and said, "Whoever it is, let's end this time." The future of Angola has not yet been determined, and we are indeed a little too anxious. If Savimbi overthrows the Santos regime, then they will seek to cooperate with us.

Gore, you're going to step in and deal with this incident, send Balman to Los Angeles, meet with Marvin Davis, and have a word. Let me be invited to Mr. Hoffmann's engagement in half a month. ”

"Your injuries?"

"It's just a small injury, and after half a month, I should be able to walk, even if I can't walk, I have to go in a wheelchair. ”

Calvin asked, "What about this ......?"

"This is a lesson!" Alan sighed, "We all have to remember in the future that when we don't occupy the momentum, we should play less small actions." Playing tricks and tricks will not make a big deal after all. Only by occupying the general trend and advancing with Yangmou, the other party is irresistible, will be the final victor!"
