Chapter 179: Relic

Casey knew she had to move on, and what Parker had said in his last contact had to get it done as soon as possible. Whether he succeeds in escaping or not, he must prepare for the worst. You have to get in touch with the guy named Pete as soon as possible, and do your best to complete your mission. With this in mind, Casey took another deep breath in front of the mirror, then quickly adjusted her emotions and expressions to the way she should be, got dressed, opened the bathroom door, and walked out.

Early the morning of the day after Parker's death, Huber rushed to Los Angeles again and went to a funeral home north of the city at the address sent by Eric, where he met not only the bodies of Parker and Richard Chow, but also Eric, who was already waiting for him.

After looking at the two corpses, Huber came to the outside of the morgue in disappointment, and after looking at Eric, he said, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

Eric nodded, handing Huber a copy of the papers. Hu Bo took the information and opened it to look at it, only to see that it was the information called "Hu Chen" that he had just seen. That is, the person who helped them check before.

"Is that him?" Huber only reacted at this moment.

Eric smiled and said, "You won't forget, will you?" ”

"Yes ... No... I mean... I didn't expect this person to be really active. I thought ... ”

"Do you think he has already evacuated?" Eric laughed and said, "Originally, I thought so. Although the information has not been confirmed, I have always felt that he should leave. Until recently, there was information that this person was in Los Angeles, and yesterday we received definite information that there was an important person on Union Street. ”

Huber looked at Eric and said, "You mean you didn't know it was him at the time?" ”

"Yes. Our source of intelligence is outside our borders, and you should understand it without me saying that. So it didn't say who it was. It's just that we estimate that if Hu Chen is in this place, then it is likely to be him. So we organized an operation. But it's a pity ... Eric shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

"You're doing a terrible job. A shootout in which the target is killed by you, and both of them. You make me suspect that you are deliberately killing your mouth. Huber said as he looked at the information.

"I wish it was as simple as extinguishing my mouth. Originally, this guy must have had a lot of secrets, such as why he was operating here and who the person he was connecting with was. Eric said with a sigh and continued, "Actually, they were killing themselves, they didn't plan to leave alive. ”

Hu Bo closed the information and said, "Forget it, there is no point in talking about this now. And what about the one who was captured alive. Did he say anything to you? ”

"Not yet." Eric said, "We can give him to you, if you're interested." ”

"Of course. Whether you're interested or not, you should hand him over to me. Hu Bo said: "But before that, I want to know what else do you know?" ”

"We don't know now, we only speculate. It seems to us that they also came for this project of the Security Service. "It may be that there are also intelligence agents hiding in Novok who work for other people." ”

"On the Chinese side." Hu Bo said: "What you have been looking for is actually them, right? ”17

"Yes. Our intelligence was directed at them in the first place. But I didn't expect to find the Russians in the end. Eric said disappointed.

Huber nodded and said, "I should have thought of it, in fact I thought of it too." But I didn't have a chance to confirm it with you, because I don't think you would admit it then. ”

"Okay, I'll admit it." Eric said: "It's not that I don't want to tell the truth, but it's a lot of secrets. ”

"I understand that." Hu Bo said: "So are we going to cooperate again?" ”

"No, I want to." "It's about continuing to work together," Eric said. We're not done. And I feel like it's just the beginning now. ”

Huber nodded and said, "I'm glad you can say that." After saying that, he sighed and said, "Then what am I going to do for you after that?" ”

"Let's go see that guy first. Let's talk about the rest of the things when you've seen that guy and some of the information we have now. Eric said.

At the same time as Huber and Eric left the funeral home, Casey took the key that had been handed to him early in the morning to the locker in a tennis hall on the outskirts of the city, according to the last address Parker had sent him, and opened the corresponding locker according to the number marked on the key.

I saw that there was only one box in the cabinet, the box was not locked, and the lid of the box was opened when one of the snaps on it was opened. Inside, all of Parker's personal belongings were placed. Three photos, and a letter.

Casey didn't rush to look at it, but closed and locked the cabinet after taking it away and making sure there was nothing else in it. Then he took the box to the lounge area of the tennis hall, sat down in a secluded corner, and opened the box again.

The three photographs in the box are all solo photographs of Parker, and it can be seen that the three photos were taken from different periods, as Parker's appearance has clearly changed above. On the back of the photograph are clearly dated, the first one is taken on July 10, 1998, the second on July 10, 2003, and the third on July 10, 2008.

In addition to the three photographs, there is also an envelope. There was nothing written on the envelope, it was a blank envelope, but it contained a piece of stationery.

Casey opened the envelope, took the piece of paper out of the envelope, opened it and looked at it, only to see that there was only a short sentence on it.

"Whoever you are, I should have been strong when I saw this. Do me a favor and give these photos and my gifts to my family. Don't say anything, that's all. Thank you. ”

Casey couldn't believe that Parker had left such a sentence at the end, and she turned the letter around and looked at it, including the envelope. But in fact, Parker left such a sentence. Except for the two things, there was a small bag that was supposed to be a gift.

Casey opened the bag and poured out the contents inside, only to see that there was a jade pendant inside, the jade pendant was a mouse, it should be Parker's genus, in addition to this jade mouse, there was a pair of rings on it. Casey picked up the ring and looked at it, it was supposed to be platinum, and one on it read "Happy Father, wedding anniversary." The other is "Happy wedding anniversary, mother." ”
