Chapter 62: On the Journey Again
"I was about to call you again, Anderson just got a message......" After a pause, Miria said slowly, "Senator Rivey died of a heart attack two days ago, but due to the split within the camp that supports him, there are big differences about how to deal with the aftermath, so it has not been disclosed until today. And all of these things happened yesterday, that is, after the death of Senator Revi. β
"Dead?" Pang Jindong gasped, as if discussing with Miria, and as if talking to himself, "Then who will it be?"
Miria's voice was heavy: "I don't know either...... In the past, everyone thought it was Senator Revi, but now it doesn't seem to be ......"
"Where is Director Anderson now?"
"I'm visiting Kansas and I'm back in New York in a few days. β
"Strengthen his defense ......"
"It's natural, but Nick and I can't be separated right now because the first recruits are in place and training is about to begin. β
For the recruitment of employees of the security company, Pang Jindong originally wanted to personally check the check, but due to various things, he was delayed in China and did not return to country M in time. Now hearing what Milia said, Pang Jindong immediately decided to take charge of this work.
Miria felt very incomprehensible: "Now that you need to step in to control the situation at this time, how can you hide and train recruits?"
Pang Jindong smiled "hehe": "I think someone is the same as you think, trying to get me to come forward, but I just don't come forward to see what tricks they can do." β
Miria asked curiously, "What is their purpose?"
"Probably they wanted me to be the target of public criticism, but only they know the exact reason. β
Miria was still uneasy, insisting that "before you do anything, you should settle that bounty and find out the main messenger behind the scenes, otherwise you will be in danger at any time." β
"You haven't figured out that they're mobilizing killers and planning a lot of other things, probably because they've guessed how we'd react under normal circumstances. Pang Jindong sighed and further explained: "So we should do the opposite, not follow the other party's way of thinking, and see what tricks they have." β
"But we should at least do something, right?"
"You just need to do the things at hand well, never take the initiative, and wait and see how the situation develops. β
Miria thought for a moment, and finally advised, "You must be careful!"
"No problem!" Pang Jindong smiled, comforting the worried Miria: "As long as I have your help, I will definitely be able to win back this game." β
Pang Jindong had no choice but to rush to New York in person.
Regarding the current situation, Pang Jindong believes that there are two possibilities, one is that Senator Reevy has arranged a plan of action before his death, and the other is that there is a hidden enemy who has never been exposed to him.
The latter possibility is what Pang Jindong is most worried about, but at present, it seems that this one may be the largest.
With heavy thoughts, Pang Jindong got off the plane and walked out of JFK International Airport.
A taxi driver immediately greeted him warmly: "Hello, sir, where are you going?
Pang Jindong looked at the driver carefully, informed the location, handed over the luggage to the driver, and sat in the car by himself.
The driver was obviously in a good mood, and kept looking for topics along the way, but Pang Jindong gave an ambiguous "um" in addition to nodding, which made the driver very disappointed.
When the car came to a very quiet alley in Brooklyn, Pang Jindong calmly put on gloves, saw that there was no one on the street in front of and behind, and told the driver to stop the car.
The driver stepped on the brakes, looked in the rearview mirror, and looked at Pang Jindong's movements strangely.
Pang Jindong noticed the driver's suspicious gaze, smiled and said, "I'm going to wait for someone!"
The driver relaxed, and just took his eyes off the rearview mirror, Pang Jindong's hands suddenly grabbed his head from behind. Before the driver could react, Pang Jindong twisted hard, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and the driver's cervical vertebrae were broken. He didn't die immediately, his body kept twitching, his head was weakly shrugged on his shoulders, the corners of his eyes were confused, and at the same time he looked at Pang Jindong with some confusion, and a trace of saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"An ordinary taxi driver......" Pang Jindong stared at the other party's gaze and said word by word: "Why do you have calluses left by using firearms for a long time on your hands?"
Before he had time to attack Pang Jindong, he was discovered by the other party, which made the driver very unwilling, but it was to no avail. After a while, he exhaled his breath, his chest no longer heaving, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Pang Jindong reached into the driver's arms and touched it, and sure enough, he found a pistol, took it out and put it in his trouser pocket. Then he got out of the car and took out his luggage, and was about to turn around and leave.
However, at this moment, a car suddenly sped over. Pang Jindong stopped, looked at the car quietly, slowly reached into his trouser pocket, and held the handle of the gun tightly.
After a screeching sound of brakes, a girl jumped out of the car and walked in front of Pang Jindong.
Pang Jindong's lips moved slightly, and he spit out four words: "Isabel?"
Isabel tilted her head and looked into the taxi, and when she saw the driver's appearance, she immediately understood what had just happened: "You killed someone again?"
"Are you going to arrest me?" Pang Jindong asked with a smile, his finger already on the trigger. As long as he raised his head slightly, with Pang Jindong's marksmanship, Isabel who was close at hand would not escape.
Isabel noticed Pang Jindong's small movements, but instead of taking any precautions, she said, "We'd better get out of here now, don't be discovered by my colleagues!"
"I ...... Guys?"
"Yes!" Isabel opened the car door and waved her hand to Pang Jindong: "Please!"
Pang Jindong sat in the co-pilot, and Isabel immediately drove away from the scene.
When she arrived at a very dilapidated city, Isabel stopped the car, and her face, which had been cold just now, brought a smile at this time: "The person you killed just now is a professional killer!"
"I know, but how do you know?"
Isabel didn't speak immediately, but changed her expression for a while, and it was obvious that she was hesitating whether she should answer. After making a lot of grimaces, she finally got things out as they were.
After being forced to take a leave of absence by her superiors, Isabel took a vacation on the surface, but in fact she took a vacation, secretly investigating the assassination of Senator Rivi while keeping an eye on the situation. When Pang Jindong was clarified that he was not the real murderer, and Senator Revy appeared in public to claim that he was not dead, she immediately realized that the case involved a complex political struggle.
After Pang Jindong assassinated Senator Revi, Isabel was among the police officers who went to investigate the scene.
When the police arrived, the bodyguards had already sent the body away, falsely claiming that it was being taken to the hospital for first aid. But an examination of the morphology and composition of the bloodstains at the scene by Isabel TonguΓ² confirmed that Senator Rivi had been shot in the head. Even if there is a miracle and he survives, it is absolutely impossible to come out and pass away so soon.
Isabel deduced from this that someone had indeed died, but it was a stand-in.
Senator Rivi's men were still very thorough, and Isabel did not find a single eyewitness. Only Pang Jindong knew that several people witnessed the whole process at that time.
As for whether Pang Jindong is the real murderer, Isabel also investigated. She got a copy of the videotape that was supposedly concocted to become famous, and determined the approximate location of the shot according to the angle of the bullet, and then compared it to the environment in which Pang Jindong was in the videotape, it was almost certain that it was the same place. Although the explosion destroyed a piece of evidence, there are still many traces to follow.
However, whether the timing of the videotape coincides with the time of Senator Revey's assassination, Isabel has no way to verify further. In this way, although she was not completely sure that Pang Jindong was indeed the murderer, she still listed Pang Jindong as the biggest suspect.
The investigation of the case to this point has in fact gone beyond Isabel's duties as a police officer, but is based on a personal interest of hers. She is very aware that someone is protecting Pang Jindong, and the assassination of Senator Revy must be diluted and even covered up. Next, Senator Rivi or other political forces will inevitably launch a counterattack.
The thought of this struck Isabel's heart, which had always craved excitement and adventure.
Isabel knew that Pang Jindong had returned to China, and a few days ago she got a tip that someone had offered Pang Jindong a reward. She estimated that Pang Jindong would definitely come to country M again, so she had been guarding the airport gate for the past few days, waiting for Pang Jindong to appear. As a result, the hard work paid off, and Pang Jindong was really waited for by her.
As soon as Pang Jindong came out, he was noticed and tracked by Isabel, and Isabel also recognized the driver of the taxi as a killer on the list. Originally, she wanted to arrest the other party immediately, or warn Pang Jindong, but in the end, she suppressed this impulse and followed behind driven by curiosity, wanting to see how Pang Jindong would react.
"It seems that I didn't disappoint you...... Pang Jindong smiled bitterly and asked Isabel: "What if I don't realize his identity and am assassinated by him?"
"I'm always watching, and I'll definitely help you in time!"
"Thank you so much, thank you for your whole family......"
For Pang Jindong's Chinese-style "humor", Isabel neither understood nor paid attention to it, but just said lightly: "He is a professional killer, this kind of dog mongrel should be damned!"
Pang Jindong frowned: "Didn't I sue you, change the trick of scolding!"
Isabel suddenly grabbed Pang Jindong's arm, and an eager look appeared on her cold face.
Pang Jindong stumbled and asked, "Are you ...... What are you going to do?"
Isabel's eyes widened, and she asked in a slightly excited tone: "Sue me, does this case involve a very complicated political struggle?
Pang Jindong was stunned for a long time before answering: "Yes...... yes......"
"I know!" Isabel smiled triumphantly, let go of Pang Jindong's arm, and asked, "You are a professional killer raised by politicians, right?"
was mistaken for a "professional killer", Pang Jindong was not very angry, but he was very dissatisfied with Isabel's use of the word "raised": "I am not a killer who is raised, but a noble mercenary!"
Isabel grabbed Pang Jindong's arm again and asked in surprise, "Are you a mercenary?"
Pang Jindong's first impression of Isabel is that this is an iceberg beauty. In fact, she did, but at this moment, this eager look melted the iceberg, leaving only a beautiful woman.
Although Isabel is white, it can be seen that she sunbathes a lot, so her skin is slightly wheat-colored. She wears tight jeans and a shirt and has a sexy figure. Maybe it's because of race, or maybe it's because she likes sports very much, her figure is slightly strong, and her measurements are qualified to be proud of all the girls around Pang Jindong. Her face is extremely angular, her forehead is high, her eyes are deep, and her blue eyes are like the water of a lake in late autumn. When she looked at Pang Jindong deeply, Pang Jindong felt that he was about to fall in and drown.
"What are you looking at?" Isabel noticed Pang Jindong's gaze, and her face was covered with a layer of frost.
"I'm looking at you!" Pang Jindong generously admitted, and even said further: "I think that being a policeman like a beautiful girl like you will only increase the number of crimes!"
"Why?"
"Because many people will willingly find fault with you in order to see your beauty!"
The corners of Isabel's mouth twitched a few times: "The way you compliment girls is really special!"
"If nothing happens, I'll take my leave!"
"You can't go!" Isabel pressed Pang Jindong's shoulder and regained the eager expression just now: "You haven't told me yet, what the hell is going on with the mercenaries!"
The environment of country M is different from that of China, and there are many things that are not available in the country, so the citizens of country M have more knowledge than the people of China. For example, many Chinese people don't know that there is such a thing as mercenaries in the world, but in country M, it is just common sense. However, I have only heard that there are very few people who have a certain understanding, and even fewer people who have a deep understanding.
Pang Jindong originally secretly talked about his past experience, but now that he has opened a security company, and now that he is in such an environment, he generously admitted: "Mercenaries are whoever gives me money, I will fight for whomever I want! But we are soldiers, not killers! We only appear on the battlefield, but we do not participate in crimes or assassinations! You must make this clear!"
