Chapter 228: 'Kraken', the mother-in-law who went to buy a gun
"Mentor Anthony is missing?"
Dean frowned and continued to flip through.
After that, there is some climate change in the Sahara Desert, lost contact analysis.
According to the analysis of professionals.
When Anthony lost contact, contact was suddenly interrupted, and there was neither a distress signal nor a natural disaster such as a sandstorm.
Afterwards.
Anthony's family, the rescue team left behind outside the desert, also followed the route of Anthony's group and conducted many searches, but found nothing but a well-equipped, but empty camp.
Behind these records, there are also more than a dozen high-definition photos.
Dean picked up a few and looked at them closely.
In the desert area, traces are difficult to preserve.
But depending on the situation with the equipment of the camp, something can also be analyzed.
But Dean quickly gave up.
Everything in the photo is too normal.
There was no devastation swept by the wind and sand, no ripple from the fighting, and even no trace of hasty departure.
Inside the tent were piles of supplies, guns, and sleeping bags.
Outside the tent, in the middle of a circle, is a row of barbecue grills and canvas tables full of rotting fruit.
These things are covered in a thin layer of windblown sand.
But judging by the fragments of some food.
They were being held and eaten before.
Besides.
On the outermost periphery, there are seven or eight cars with special shapes, and some sluggish camels are strapped to them.
Except for people.
Everything in the camp, all there!
It was as if something had happened suddenly, and a group of people left in a hurry before they had time to pick up their things.
But this is not logical.
In the desert, food and water represent life!
Leave in an orderly manner.
These things will not be left behind.
Flee in panic.
The camp doesn't look like this.
Anthony's group, it's more like they were attacked!
Dozens of people in the treasure exploration team were heavily armed and experienced, and more than a dozen satellite phones did not play any role, as if in an instant, all of them lost the power to resist and cut off contact with the base outside the desert.
This situation is really weird.
At the end of the document, there are also several speculations of the school's intelligence officers:
One: There is an unknown force that has set its sights on the golden treasure, and has inserted a mole, in Anthony's team, relying on drugs, to stun everyone, causing this bizarre disappearance!
(Note: The Morgan family is investigating the matter!) According to the investigation, there is no key or map to open the treasure found in the camp, so this is the most likely! )
2. The guide colluded with the natives to carry out the attack. (The materials are basically retained, and the escort mercenaries are all the elite of the elite, it is unlikely, and the investigation is underway.) )
Three: the influence of natural magnetic field. (Possibly, but very unlikely)
Behind each speculation, there are instructions, the handwriting is not spaced apart, the pen is euphemistic, looking at the handwriting of the girl.
Dean put away the file and looked at Corolla: "Presumably the remarks at the back, you wrote it?" ”
Corolla nodded: "Mr. Anthony, is the only acquaintance I have here, and I am very concerned about his situation, so I use the school's intelligence system to communicate with the Morgan family to get these materials." ”
Hearing this, Dean nodded.
That's what makes sense.
Otherwise, the Akaz school can easily get so much first-hand information, and the intelligence system will be too terrifying.
Light a cigarette.
Dean looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
His speculation is similar to that of Corolla.
This kind of thing is somewhat similar to some mystery cases.
It seems incredible.
But to find out the truth in the end, most of it is man-made.
The World War II base where Anthony is going is hiding a full 120 tons of gold hard currency, which can be exchanged for a wealth of 4 billion US dollars, no matter where it is!
What is this concept?
At present, the active veteran mercenaries in Africa, the market situation, the average salary of a month is about 5000~8000 US dollars, and if there is a combat mission, there will be a certain fluctuation.
But for long-term employment, the price will not be too high.
Plus the rest of the mess.
That's $10,000 a month!
Four billion dollars, you can hire 40,000 veterans, bring your own weapons and dry food, and fight for your employer for ten months!
So in the face of this wealth.
Not to mention individuals.
Even some countries will not hesitate to do so!
The point is.
Dean knows the inside story of this golden treasure.
This golden treasure was originally an elder of Anthony, and in order to fight with the contemporary patriarch, it was delayed until today, decades later, to excavate.
And every collection of treasure keys and maps represents a leak.
I'm afraid there are a lot of people who know about this process.
There was a motive.
There is a probability that the information will be leaked.
Dean basically concluded that the reason for the strange disappearance of Anthony's group was a human attack.
So much time has passed.
Anthony's fate is probably not good!
Come to think of it.
Dean looked at Corolla: "Now the international gold output should have been monitored, right?" ”
Corolla nodded: "The Morgan family has a lot of energy in Europe, and has close ties with many world-class giants, and now whether it is the black market in the Americas, Europe or Asia, there are people monitoring it, and this period is unlimited!" ”
This is actually quite normal.
For those big families who can make the rules.
Money, in fact, is just a number.
But face is a big deal.
Someone who dares to do something to their family members today will dare to do it directly to others tomorrow.
No one in power would allow this to happen.
Therefore, even if they get the gold, it will be difficult to sell the forces that will do it against Anthony's group, unless they are willing to move and export a little bit.
But even then, the risks are significant.
Now is not what it used to be.
The digital age.
All the information is a big net.
In each region, the trading and circulation of precious metals has a fixed constant value.
Once there is a fluctuation.
It's easy to spot.
Therefore, it is a very stupid thing to do it against a big force with international influence.
Unless an opponent of the same size.
Otherwise, it is dangerous to sell the stolen goods after succeeding.
Dean opened the window, threw the cigarette butt out of his breath, and sighed.
For so long, no result.
Anthony is afraid that this time he will be more than lucky.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood.
Corolla comforted: "Mr. Anthony, it may also be that there is a third speculation. ”
Dean shrugged: "You don't think it's the outrageous reason of the natural magnetic field, which caused a group of well-armed people, without the slightest resistance and without leaving any clues, to disappear out of thin air, right?" ”
"It's unlikely, but it exists!" Corolla tapped the front chair baffle, revealing the LCD screen hidden inside, and then dotted to reveal a yellow irregular area with countless thin lines.
"Dean, do you know Bermuda?"
"You know, there are often ships and planes, wrecked over there!"
"According to the research of the Supreme Academy of Sciences of the Royal Academy of the Commonwealth, there is a very peculiar magnetic field in that area, which causes the climate to change over there, forming a unique area, which will not only cause ships and planes to lose their direction, but also have even more terrifying effects!"
Corolla's tone is serious!
Dean became interested and sat down: "What effect?" ”
Corolla was about to speak.
The little old man driving in front of him suddenly coughed and stopped the car on the side of the road.
Corolla looked at the old man dissatisfied: "Hey, Dean is also a member of the school, he has enough authority to know something!" ”
"But Anthony didn't bring him back to the academy, did he?"
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Dean apologetically:
"Sorry, kid.
Although this will make you feel like an outsider, the rules are the rules.
It's also for the good of Corolla.
I can only tell you that Anthony and the others may indeed have lost contact collectively because of the magnetic field.
Now, you're ready to get off! ”
Dean looked at the old man, then at Corolla, who wanted to speak, but had some scruples, nodded, pushed the car door, and came to the damp street after the rain.
Corolla had no choice but to pull the window, her fingers shaking uneasily, and her face was apologetic: "I'm sorry, Dean, for some special reasons, I'm actually not as free as you think, and I'll always pay attention to Mr. Anthony's affairs, as long as there is news, I'll let you know as soon as possible!" ”
Dean's vision swept over Corolla's restless little fingers, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "I understand, I should be back in the American Federation in two days, it's a pleasure to meet you, Corolla." ”
"Me too!"
Click~
The car window was ruthlessly closed by the old man who drove the car, interrupting the communication between the two before parting, and then stepped on the accelerator and disappeared from Dean's field of vision.
Dean watched the car disappear, lowered his head, and muttered, "Siren? ”
Corolla's last fingers flickered, not out of uneasiness, but to convey a message to Dean.
Piece together based on the information.
The result of Dean is the Kraken.
The message that Corolla wants to convey should be hidden on top of this mythical creature!
"Interesting~"
Dean chuckled, pulled another cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and was about to light it.
Bang~
Beside him, a small hand wearing seamless black silk gloves held a delicate kerosene lighter in the shape of a holy angel and helped him light a cigarette.
Dean took a deep breath and looked at the owner of the arm.
Then he froze.
"Neil?"
He hesitated.
The woman standing in front of him is too similar to Neil, but she is much more mature, and she has a sharp and capable temperament, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.
Bang~
The woman put on the lid of the lighter and said in an unkind tone: "The first time we met, I was Neil's mother, and I thought, we need to talk about it!" ”
Dean: "."
He rarely felt his heart beat faster, and his originally sharp mouth seemed to be sticky, squeezing out a dry smile: "That. Are you stalking me on purpose? ”
Neil's mother shook her head: "I was going to buy a gun, but as soon as I got out of the car, I saw you getting off the bus across the road!" ”
Dean: "."
Buy a gun
How do you feel that I bought it for myself
Made!
Old dog, do it on purpose!
I actually parked the car opposite Neil's mother!
Strictly speaking.
Dean and Neil's mother, still related, both have the blood of the Luches family!
But before that, the two had not communicated.
The key is Neil's mother, as soon as she opens her mouth, she buys a gun.
Nine times out of ten, I know what I did last night.
Difficult to do~
Even an old fritter like Dean, in the face of this kind of scene that is even more embarrassing than the Shura field, was taken first, and for a while, he didn't know how to respond.
He could only be silent first and see the move.
Seeing Dean didn't speak.
Neil's mother smiled lightly: "I heard Neal say that you are a detective in Los Angeles, you should know a lot about firearms, right?" ”
"Understand a little bit~"
Dean smiled dryly and took out a cigarette from his pocket, poured one, and respectfully handed it to Neil's mother: "Auntie, you have a strong smell of cigarettes, is there something bothering you?" Maybe I can help! ”
This operation will not be able to be rectified for Neil's mother.
See broke Neil's mother's aura and rhythm.
Dean took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and said with a sincere face: "Auntie, Neil often tells me that you are a strong woman, and that you are her most admired idol, I always thought that it was just Neil's filter for her mother, and when I met today, I knew that Neal was still modest." ”
"Giggle~"
Neil's mother was amused by Dean's words.
She covered her mouth and gave Dean a blank look.
It's no wonder that his daughter did such an outrageous thing last night.
Ordinary women really can't resist the attack of the tall, handsome and thick-skinned Dean in front of them.
"Hey~"
Dean chuckled, then looked up, looked at the black above his head, and took the initiative to say: "Auntie, looking at the weather, it seems that it is going to rain again, and I am busy with things, I don't know if you have time, I also want to talk to you about my plans and Neil." ”
"No need!"
Neil's mother took the cigarette handed by Dean, lit it, exhaled the smoke, and sighed: "I've already talked to Neil, the first time she quarreled with me, man, it's really trouble!" ”
She shook her head and beckoned to the side.
A tall female passer-by immediately stepped forward with a handbag, took out a checkbook from her pocket, and put it in Neel's mother's hand.
Neel's mother shook the checkbook in her hand: "Speaking of which, women do have to experience men in order to grow, and I will give you two choices!" ”
Dean knows.
Neil's mother, who was able to take little Neil to achieve a career in a foreign country back then, was definitely not a kind little white rabbit.
This kind of person is often strong-willed, and once a decision is made, it is not a simple word, and it can be shaken.
He stood up and said in a deep voice, "You say." ”
"The first option.
I'll give you 100 million dollars, and you'll change your name to Dean Luches.
In this way, in the future, you and Neil's children can continue to follow my surname, and you already have the blood of the Luches family, so you don't have to be wronged! ”
This condition is really superior.
not only achieved Dean's goal of getting rich, but also took into account Dean's face, and also took out a huge amount of money to tempt, as long as the man is not too hypocritical, it is difficult to resist disagreeing.
Dean nodded: "Auntie, what about the other options?" ”
Seeing that Dean did not directly agree, Neil's mother flashed with disappointment in her eyes, and said lightly: "The second condition, after you and Neal get married, have more children, I will inherit my business empire, and you and Neal don't have a penny!" ”
"I'll pick the second one!"
Dean spoke firmly.
Joke.
Neil's mother is a daughter, and even if the child passes in the future, it will be her own child.
It's all their own anyway.
Only a fool chooses 100 million!
Neil's mother let out a wistful puff of smoke.
FK!
This little white face is really not easy to fool.
She was a little reluctant and said: "There are other options, you don't want to hear it?" ”
Dean smiled shyly: "Auntie, don't be kidding, the third choice should be the purpose of your gun."
Mother Neil: "."
It's really accurate to see people.
After a friendly exchange between the two.
Neal's mother, leaving Dean a business card:
"Neil said that you are special, although I don't believe it, but if you need it in the future, just call this number, don't touch those women outside!
I don't want my daughter to get sick in the future!
In addition, as long as you dare to make my daughter sad.
I swear, even if you escape to any corner of Mercury, a reward of a billion dollars will show you what the world is called big, and there is no place for you! ”
After speaking.
Mother Neel, turned around and left domineeringly.
Some 'passers-by' who surrounded the area disappeared into the surroundings.
Apparently.
The other party deliberately met Dean by chance.
Dean looked at the business card that read 'Paradise Island' on his hand, and was silent at first glance.
The mother-in-law gave her son-in-law a channel for prostitution
This makes sense.
Not extraordinary.
Good night.
