Chapter 11: Midnight, Killer
When the clock struck midnight, the cat kicked open the door of Wang Xu's room and dragged him out of bed, although the latter complained extremely unpleasantly, but obviously to no avail......
"I'll give you a brief description of the situation, you wake up and listen carefully." As he spoke, the cat master poured a glass of water on Wang Xu's face.
"Damn! What are you doing? ”
"It's just a matter of increasing your sobriety efficiency...... Now pay attention, there are more than twenty professional killers in this hotel who want to kill Terry, these people are all super masters, all of them are well-equipped, skilled, well-trained, and most importantly, they have spiritual sense, although only a little, but definitely more difficult to deal with than ordinary special forces. ”
"Well...... How long did I sleep? World War III broke out? ”
Terry had just heard this, and he immediately exclaimed, "What did you say? What's going on? Am I John Connor from the real world (if you don't know him, go see the Terminator series)? ”
The cat master "cut" very disdainfully, "Now let's go to Terry's room to ambush first, I have asked William to move Tan Hai's body over, and the details will be discussed when we get there." ”
…………
Duan Fei woke up from his slumber, and Ning Tiande was standing next to him, with worry and doubt in his eyes.
"Father......" He struggled to sit up, but couldn't.
Ning Tiande pressed him: "Xiaofei, don't worry, you have already arrived home, don't worry, you have something to say slowly." ”
Duan Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "Who sent me back?" ”
"It's Emperor Song's predecessor, but what happened, he didn't want to say."
Duan Fei said thoughtfully: "I see, he saved me......"
Ning Tiande said: "Your injury is very serious, although it is not life-threatening now, you will need bed rest for three months." Dumbo ...... With your skills, why did things turn out like this? ”
Duan Fei was silent, as if recalling some very bad pictures, Ning Tiande just stood there, also staring at him without saying a word.
After about a cup of tea, Duan Fei finally spoke: "I must die, before February 17, my soul must die!" ”
…………
"By the way, where did those two uncles go? I didn't see Terry when I carried him over at noon. Wang Xu asked.
The cat opened the bottle of foreign wine in Terry's room and was enjoying the free wine: "They are gone, and in the next period of time, they will gather combat strength across the country, and it is estimated that they will be too busy to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." ”
Terry interjected, "Well, Mr. Logan, can you explain to me why so many professional killers are coming to kill me?" ”
The cat master put on his cigarette: "Then I'll explain it." The cause of the incident was Tan Hai's disappearance a few years ago, and the information that William got in his hands is still of some value, but it is not comprehensive enough, and I have already found out the deficiencies and suspicions.
First of all, Tan Hai died, and he became the earthbound spirit here, you all know this, so let's dig into the cause of his death, it is obvious that he was not killed by a ghost, because if he is killed by a ghost, he will not become a ghost again.
Then there are two possibilities, the first is similar to Yang Sihai's situation, there are ghosts manipulating living humans to commit murder, this probability is very small, because people like Tan Hai, although the interpersonal relationship is extensive, there is no such person who does ghosts and does not let him go, he has no intersection with others emotionally, just a complete businessman.
According to this presumption, Tan Hai was killed, so the next question is, who is the murderer? It has been more than three years since the incident, and all the clues no longer exist, so it can be said that there is no way to investigate this case.
But the so-called endless road, I found a report on this case three years ago on the Internet, in fact, three years ago, someone had ascertained the facts, this is indeed a smart person, but unfortunately it was buried. ”
Wang Xu interrupted: "Wait, you said that someone found out the truth after the crime, so why did this case end up in the end?" ”
The cat master sighed: "The so-called geniuses are all quirky, and they are all difficult to understand by the world......"
"Hey...... Your empathetic tone is too shameless......"
Mao Ye still ignored Wang Xu's complaints, and continued: "The person who made the correct reasoning is called Amon, who used to be a policeman, and finally had to leave the police force because of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and later became a private detective, and it seemed to be a little famous at the time, his reasoning was that the waiters, security guards, monitoring personnel, cleaners, etc. of this hotel killed Tan Hai together, and then divided his body, covered the smell and traces with lime, and hid it all over the hotel. ”
Wang Xu asked again: "This is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Who believes this reasoning? ”
That's why the case wasn't settled in the end, because Amun's words were the truth. According to my investigation, after the limelight of that incident, more than 20 people resigned from the hotel one after another, all of whom were grassroots personnel, that is, the kind of ...... that can be replaced at any time."
"And what about motivation? They don't have anything to do with Tan Hai, right? ”
The cat master didn't answer this question, but asked: "You have also been in ** for a few years, have you ever heard of an organization named 'Midnight'?" ”
"What do you mean to be in the ** for a few years? You've only been in the mix for a few years, and your whole family has been in the mix for a few years! I'm just a dealer, what's the hell daddy? I've heard of Tokyo fever. (I don't know how hot Tokyo is...... Forget it, I don't know. )
Master Mao said: "Then I'll treat you as if you haven't heard of it." The organization of 'Midnight' is connected with almost all the major crimes of the last century, their scope of activities is all over the world, and the peripheral members of the organization are millions, and the core members are all the elites of human society.
This organization acts with a very purposeful purpose, and some people, once they are targeted, must die. Tan Hai is one of them, and Terry is the other. ”
Terry was dumbfounded: "Not kidding, right?" How could I be targeted by such a powerful organization? Something went wrong! ”
Mao Ye looked very relaxed: "Of course there is no mistake, recently caught up with the global financial crisis, you, the president of the Asian region of the global development company, can be described as a figure on the cusp of the storm, the midnight organization involves the economy, politics, and even religion and other fields, there are countless tentacles, who knows what aspects of their interests you have touched......
Perhaps, the case that three years ago will end with a disappearance, and it has something to do with the influence of this organization, who knows...... In short, they will definitely make a move tonight, using the same method as killing Tan Hai. ”
The cat master said and took out a piece of paper and said: "There is a list, these people on the list are all staff members who have just come to work in this hotel within a week, and it is very interesting that their predecessors have left at almost the same time for some reason, and these people have appeared at the right time to fill the vacancy." ”
Wang Xu took it and glanced at it, and there were indeed more than 20 people: "They are all midnight killers?" ”
"Most of them should be, and there may be, killers pretending to be guests. Midnight's plan can't afford to fail, and it leaves no trace, even if it's a very simple task, like killing a guy like Terry, they don't rush it, they go after the perfect crime.
There will be two leaders in each operation of the organization, usually the elite of the core members or official members, and all the killers are full members, which is very different from those peripheral members. ”
"Wait! With all that said, how did you find out about Midnight? And he was so familiar with its inner workings, that Amon didn't know that such an organization existed a few years ago, right? Don't you ......" Wang Xu looked at the cat master sideways, and the thought in his heart was: The cat master may be the second leader of the organization or something.
"What's so difficult about this, when I was thirteen years old, I could even find out in the ghost hunting world, and investigating his criminal organization is not the same as playing."
Wang Xu had to admit that it was still very convincing for the cat master to say this.
"And what are you going to do now?"
"What else can I do? Tonight, these killers will do it, and Tan Hai's complete ghost will also appear, we will sit here and drink to wait for work, people will kill, ghosts will come to catch ghosts, kill a piece of armor without leaving behind, clean and slippery. ”
William, who was arrested as a coolie, became more and more frightened the more he listened, these two talked about transnational crime syndicates and supernatural forces as if it was commonplace, he was terrified just by listening, more than 20 killers stronger than special forces were going to kill people, he was still in this room, and when the time came, it would be dark to kill, and he would be injured by mistake or something, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to leave a whole corpse.
William wanted to slip away when he thought so, but as soon as he walked to the door, his face changed, and then his voice trembled, and he said to the three people in the room: "Yes...... Yes...... Someone is ...... outside."
