Chapter 92: Car Bomb
86_86109 "Really? Sounds pretty good, I just returned to China today, I didn't know about this event, and I didn't even have time to buy tickets, or next time. Hugh stepped forward and handed the goods in his hand to the cashier to scan the code.
"Okay. We'll go together next time we have the chance. The other party took out the change from his pocket and handed it to the cashier in front of him to settle the bill.
At the same moment, Hugh also finished settling the bill, and the two walked together towards the elevator at the exit, and took the elevator to the above-ground parking lot.
"Have fun." Hugh waved goodbye to the other.
"Thanks, let's have a couple of drinks together." The other party turned and walked away to the German Volkswagen SUV that he had parked in the parking lot.
Hugh looked at his back as he gradually moved away, and sighed in his heart: In fact, this kind of ordinary life is not bad, after a busy day's work, you can have time to develop your interests, let your body and mind be relaxed, and do not have to risk your life all day to perform various dangerous tasks.
He was thinking so, but the unforgiving reality denied him. I saw that the quality manager had just walked into his car, placed the items, and at the moment of turning the key to start the vehicle, a deafening explosion came to Hugh's ears, and the Volkswagen SUV was burning in the monstrous fire.
The sparse crowd in the parking lot saw this and fled in all directions with exclamations. The supermarket security guard quickly caught up and notified his colleagues through walkie-talkies to bring fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire, and then called the police.
In a black Lexus sedan not far away, is riding the culprit of the accident - killer Nathan, he is very satisfied with the effect of the car bomb that he planned and implemented, the victim himself is not important, the important thing is his position in Vulcan, once the experienced quality inspection manager disappears, it will cause greater pressure on the delivery of Vulcan products, because the quality inspection department has lost his leadership, the quality inspection work will not be able to operate normally, and the defective rate of the product will rise sharply. Causing customers to lose trust in the company's products, and causing the company to lose these customers. And this loss is often difficult to measure in monetary terms.
Nathan laughed in satisfaction, and then arrived, he didn't want to stay here, and cooperated with their investigation as an eyewitness, Nathan stepped on the gas pedal and flicked the Infiniti out of the parking lot and drove towards the road ahead. But I don't want this abrupt action to be taken in by Hugh.
"It looks like it was a premeditated car bomb attack. It is necessary to dig deeper. Hugh put the shopping bag in the passenger seat, he didn't want to be the victim of the next car bomb, so with a vigilant mentality, he looked under the hood and the chassis of the car, and found nothing unusual, so he returned to the car with peace of mind and drove the car in the direction of the beach house.
Hugh drove the Dodge Viper into the garage and went to the kitchen with his shopping bag, only to see that Katyusha had washed and cut all the ingredients and was ready to cook.
"I'll tell you the sad news that I just witnessed the death of the manager of our company's quality control department in a car bomb attack in the parking lot of a supermarket, and I didn't have time to protect him because it happened so suddenly." Hugh's voice was a mixture of sighs and self-reproach.
"It's not your fault, it's always impossible to prevent attacks on the security aspects of company personnel. Did you find any clues? Katyusha comforted.
"After the incident, a vehicle that quickly left the scene caught my attention, which is why I rushed back, and I wanted to check the video surveillance footage of the parking lot." Hugh flipped through the address book on his watch, looking for the hacker Garnett's phone number and dialing him.
"Hey, long time no see, are you all okay?" The other party answered the phone and asked first.
Hugh told the other party about the scene that had just happened in the parking lot on the phone, and an exclamation came from the other end of the phone: "This is the fourth unnatural death of a middle manager in the company in recent months." The previous police characterized it as an accident, and although several incidents gave people this feeling on the surface, I always felt that something was wrong behind it, but I never found evidence. ”
"Just now, there was a black Lexus sedan in the parking lot that caught my attention, I need you to call the video surveillance video of the parking lot, lock the license plate number of the car, and go to the vehicle management office to check the driver's identity information." Hugh sent an application to the other party.
"No problem, it's just a cup of tea, and you can get it." The phone rang with the sound of Garnett tapping on the keyboard skillfully, and he hung up.
Five minutes later, after a few crisp ringtones, hacker Garnett's phone called: "I have sent the video surveillance video of the parking lot, and I also went to check the license plate number of the car, the owner of the car is an employee of our company, Director Nathan of the material management department, which is strange, the same employee of the company, after seeing his colleague killed, should notify the company, and then cooperate with the police investigation of the incident, but he left the scene at the first time." Is it a sign of a lack of responsibility? Or are you frightened? ”
"This is where I am suspicious, in order to confirm my judgment, I also need some information, you can help me get the investigation file of the previous accidents, as well as the video surveillance footage near the incident site, so that I can see what valuable clues are in it." Hugh pondered.
"No problem, what else is needed?" Garnett asked.
"Can you help us check, how many cars are registered in Nathan's name?" Katyusha, who had been silent, threw out the question.
"okey, wait a while and don't hang up the phone, my computer here is networked with the database of the DMV, and it only takes more than ten seconds to query." Garnett tapped the keyboard at a rapid pace. "I found it, and according to the results, he also has a red American General Purpose off-road vehicle under his name."
"Very good, thank you! You sent us a picture of the red SUV and we'll check it out later. Katyusha frowned.
"Okay, what else do you need to contact me anytime. I'm going to prepare the relevant documents. After saying that, Fang hung up the call.
Hugh and Katyusha then walked into the second-floor intelligence room and retrieved the parking lot video surveillance footage sent by Garnett, from which they found something unusual: First, when the victim left the vehicle and entered the supermarket to shop, a young man wearing a black baseball cap and a loose black shirt came to the victim's vehicle, took out an electronic device similar to a barcode scanner from his pocket, and looked around sneakily
