Chapter 295: Difficult Investigation (03)
Compared to the bargaining between the top executives, they have already traveled to Europe to investigate the relevant clues of Harry Raines, the chairman of the Degu Group.
From the limited information they had initially obtained, the man owned more than a dozen properties around the world, but he lived most often in a large city in Eastern Europe.
"This kind of person is erratic, it is difficult to know where he is without exact information, although he is now half a public figure, but after we returned from Broel, this person has rarely been seen in the outside world, probably received news from above, or a reminder, or may smell danger." Heavy punch said.
"The disappearance of people like Charles Powry and the destruction of a base will definitely arouse the alarm of the 'Clock Tower', if it weren't for the fact that they got Wade away during this time before the medic did it, I'm afraid this guy would have to be captured by us too, and it is impossible for the 'Clock Tower' not to pay attention to such a big thing, so he is alert This is normal, at least it proves that there is some kind of relationship between him and the 'Clock Tower'." "The focus of our investigation is on his major industries in Europe, as well as several branches of their group here, and the invisible industry, as well as his personal real estate, and I believe that we can get something valuable from these, and even if we can't find him, I won't go home empty-handed." ”
"From the information obtained so far, it seems that Harry Raines was last seen five days ago, attending a charity event in the city, at which he donated 100,000 euros to improve the living conditions of the orphanage, we found a video that can be used as a reference, as well as his route of movement and the final location, but the people in that place Bruce have already checked, and the building has long been empty." Chong Fist looked at the little information he had in his hand and said, "I want to go over and see the situation, maybe there will be other unexpected gains." ”
"If I want to see it, it will be in vain, it is impossible for this kind of person to leave any traces." The ghost doesn't give much hope.
"It's impossible to leave nothing, there will be some clues that can be used as references." Worm thought he could go and see it.
By the time the three of them drove to the site, it was already dark, and it was a five-story complex that looked a bit old at first glance, and should be at least a hundred years old in terms of style.
"This place is unguarded, and they gave it up?" The ghost looked at the building hidden in the darkness forever.
"For a rich man, this is nothing at all, as the chairman of such a large group, it is a drop in the bucket to throw away one or two houses casually, but this is not a kind of abandonment, it is just a temporary residence, it is still an industry in his name, this is real estate." While scanning the entire building with the device, the worm said, "I didn't find it, the whole building was empty." ”
"It seems that the walk is very thorough, but the time is so short, it is impossible for them to take everything with them when they leave, and go in and have a look." Punch carefully observe the surrounding area to see if there are any suspicious people moving around or to monitor the movement here.
"Don't worry, there are no suspicious people around, however, in order to prevent the existence of potential enemies, let's be careful, enter from the side or back, and try not to open the buildings where there may be enemies outside, who knows if there are any observers in this vicinity?" The worm said as he re-scanned the entire building, they had to be careful, it didn't matter if they were in trouble, it was more important than anything to avoid falling into someone else's trap.
"You stay here." A heavy fist patted the ghost on the shoulder, "Don't put out the fire, be ready to go at any time." ”
"Why did you tell me to stay?" The ghost was surprised, he thought that the heavy punch would leave worms behind, but he didn't expect it to be him.
"Obey orders." Heavy Punch didn't intend to explain too much at all, and got out of the car with the worm and touched the side of the building.
Climbed up to the second floor from the side, drilled into it through the window, and the two began to search the whole building separately, although no one took care of it, but because the people who lived here did not leave for a long time, so there was not much dust here, everything was in order, it could be seen that the people here were not flustered when they left, the placement and furnishings inside were not taken away, the furniture and daily necessities were readily available, the cabinets were full of clothes, spring, summer, autumn and winter, there was still a lot of food in the storeroom, and even large pieces of ham and cured meat, Cans of butter are also stored in cold storage.
"There's a camera here, and it looks like someone is keeping an eye on the situation here." Worm said as he looked at the flashing working light on the camera.
"The security system here is also complete, although no one lives there, but someone should be guarded, it is estimated that there will be regular people to take care of it, and there may be security personnel who patrol it regularly, well, be careful, don't be photographed." Heavy Punch said as he searched.
For the search of the entire building, it took more than three hours to complete, but did not find anything valuable, it can only be determined that there were many people living here at that time, from the distribution of rooms, many people are concentrated in the guest room area on the north side of the first floor, and the heavy fist also found a rag with a little gun oil, so it is judged that it is likely that these people are Harry Raines's personal bodyguards, of course, it may also be the personal guards arranged for him by the 'clock tower'.
In the storage room on the first floor, they found a secret door leading to the basement, which was so cleverly hidden, inside the storage room, behind a shelf full of canned food and other foodstuffs, it would have been almost impossible to find the flaws in it if it had not been carefully collected by the insects.
"I speak, there is a secret grid in everyone's house that no one knows, it seems that this is indeed true." Worm said proudly.
"Be careful." Heavy punch looked at the open secret door, and after scanning with the equipment, he soon found that infrared rays crisscrossed the entrance, and it seemed that it was not so easy to enter this place.
"It's not easy." Worm took out the device and began to block these signals, and it was quickly done, and after the two of them went in, they found that it was a not small space, it looked like a large office, and the furnishings in it were quite simple, only a desk, a computer, a set of sectional sofas and a long table.
Around the long table, the bugs found a bunch of signal transmitters, which should be used for stereoscopic projection, and can be used for remote meetings in this way.
"It's a little disappointing to be simple here." Heavy punch said as he studied the computer to see if there was a way to remove the hard drive.
"You can check their network connection through the IP data here, and maybe there will be some gains." The worm has connected to the router and started scraping the information.
On the other side, the heavy punch has already taken care of the computer, and is opening the main chassis and disassembling the hard drive.
"Did you find less of that thing than expected?" The ghost asked in the headphones.
"I don't know yet, let's see what's in these things." Punched the dismantled hard drive into his bag, and began to study the desk again, maybe there was any important information stored in the drawer, doubled it to see if there was anything new to discover.
The first thing I found was a loaded P226, in addition to that, I also found some white powder in a small plastic bag, and I sniffed it with a heavy fist, and I was a little surprised, it stands to reason that people like Harry Raines should not be addicts, right, why is there such a thing in his secret office?
A large number of documents were found in the heavy punch and drawer, and it was impossible to judge whether these items were valuable or not in a short time, so they had to pack them all and take them away.
"Almost, nothing new, let's get out!" Seeing that he couldn't find anything of value anymore, he said.
"I'm plugging into their monitoring system to see if there are any unexpected gains." Worm said.
"The most we can find out where their surveillance signals are going." Heavy punches definitely won't be so easy to find out.
Soon, the two of them returned to the car, and they had some gains, and these materials were enough for them to analyze for a while, and whether there would be a breakthrough could only depend on luck.
When he got back, he packed it all up and handed it over to Bruce's guys, who didn't want to do the data analysis, which was tedious and time-consuming, and most importantly, they weren't as professional as the analysts.
"What's next, what are we going to do next?" After coming out of Bruce, the ghost asks for a heavy punch.
"Before there is a further breakthrough, we can only carry out the most basic investigation activities, at least we must find out where Harry Raines went, although Bruce's people and other channels are also doing this, but none of them have come to any conclusions, let's also participate in the investigation, anyway, there is nothing more meaningful to do, and the destruction of their industry is no longer my turn, let's do something practical!" Heavy punch said.
"It's not easy!" The ghost said.
"If it's easy, would you still use us to investigate?" The bugs have already begun to analyze the information that has just been updated from Bruce's side, hoping to get some clues from it.
"Oh, I think, we don't need to toss around, in terms of intelligence gathering capabilities, the three of us are not too bad but the scope of intelligence collection is too small, far less than the number of people in the hands of Bruce and the military doctor, in terms of analysis, although we don't belong to those professional analysts, in fact, the biggest problem we face is still too few people, too few resources, too little available data, unless we go back to the office to work with them, otherwise we can play a limited role, so I said, instead of running around and wasting time, It's better to go back and stay well, as long as there is a breakthrough in the investigation, the task will definitely come down, and then it will be time for us to show our talents, is it a waste of time and energy to toss outside now? "The ghosts always felt that their efforts were meaningless.
"We have to do something, things are getting to the point where they are now, it can be said that they are out of control, these enemies are stronger than we expected, and there is no plan to clash with us head-on, at least now we have obtained the information that is like this, but we have made it clear that their existence is a huge threat to us, and they must be destroyed, otherwise there will be no peace, is it possible that we will do nothing, go back and wait for news? Are you staying? Heavy Punch asked rhetorically.
Indeed, they are in an awkward situation now, and they always want to do something, but basically all the work is being done, whether it is intelligence collection and analysis or anything else, it is not their turn to take action, but the field tasks do not fall on them, and the marginal tasks have been sent to others by 03 and the military doctor to do it, and it has been made clear that only the key targets need them to take action, but now the key targets that can confirm their identities are nowhere to be found, and there is no way to start at all.
"03 also said that we don't want to toss around, but we don't want to do something, everyone is busy, and it's not like that." The worm also understood that the ghost was right.
"What's the solution? Can you stay stayed? Not boring enough? Chong Fist shook his head, "At least we can find some clues and information now and bring them back for analysis, which can be regarded as a contribution to our investigation, at least the underground dark room is what we are looking for, if we don't go, no one will definitely find out about the existence of that place, this is the value of our work, find things that others can't find, maybe these things are important clues to uncover the mystery." ”
"Anyway, I don't think it's interesting to toss like this, but you're the head, you have the final say, what should we do next?" The ghost didn't want to fight anymore, and he knew very well that he wouldn't give up because of this.
"Keep looking! Harry Raines has more than one house here, right? There are also more than a dozen properties throughout Europe, and we can investigate them one by one, and there will definitely be unexpected discoveries. Heavy punch said.
"According to you, we're probably going to have to travel all over Europe to get all his properties." The ghost scratched his head, "It's okay, at least I can take this opportunity to walk around and relax, but I don't have to stay in one place like before." ”
"I'd like to see Natasha, doesn't I think there's still hope for her?" Worm said.
Chong Fist shook his head, "Actually, I also want to go over and have a look, although our investigation route will pass through the city where she is, but it won't be there in a short time, she is now quarantined, even if you go and you can't see anyone, I hope she gets better as soon as possible." ”
The ghost shook his head and said, "Don't think about it so simply, whether people want to see you or not is another matter, so many things have happened, and so many twists and turns have been experienced, I'm afraid her current state will not be much better, maybe even if you go, she won't show up." ”
