Chapter 480: Quack Society (Part )

When Han Zu turned off the lights and drove out of the industrial park from the other side, the fat man's car stopped in front of the main gate of Industrial Park Area A. After the engine was turned off, the door opened and two people got out. One was the talkative fat man Han Zu met earlier in the barbecued ribs restaurant, and the other was a woman dressed in a neutral style, very tall, about 1.8 meters tall.

After getting off the car, the woman locked the car. The fat man walked forward a few steps and stood in front of the woman. He was called fat, but in fact he just had a big belly. His limbs were very muscular, and he was the kind of man who could punch a person's head into the cavity. His body was big enough to completely block the woman behind him. The fat man looked around, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit two, smoked one himself, and handed the other to the woman behind him.

The woman took the cigarette, took a puff, took out her cell phone from the back pocket of her trousers, and made a video call. Before the video call was connected, the avatar that appeared was very funny. It was a cartoon version of a doctor giving an injection to a patient, except that the syringe was obviously for horses, and the patient in the picture was running away from the doctor with his naked butt.

"Are you here?"

"We're here, Yuan Si is taking precautions."

"Very good. According to the information I received, the deputy director who participated in the repair of the stable anchor point should be here now."

"Hey, I'm Yuan Si. Didn't you say that you are sure that this information is reliable? How can such a poisonous insect be involved in the repair work of the stable anchor point?"

"Although I don't know the specifics, this is the fact. We need to find that guy, isn't it to find out what happened to the stable anchor point in U City? After all, this is likely related to the previous copy accident."

"Even if that guy really participated in the maintenance work, an employee of his level might not know the inside story, right?"

"It's possible, but this is our only option at the moment. If we can't get any useful information from him, we'll have to force our way through the next instance we want to conquer. If something goes wrong again, it won't be good for us."

"I hope you're right."

"We'll investigate first and let you know when we have the results."

"Yes, by the way, Pei Lan, although the organizations entrenched in that place are basically rotten fish and shrimp, their leaders are players from the Infinite City. Be careful and don't get tricked."

"rest assured."

After hanging up the video call, Pei Lan and Yuan Si looked at each other. The latter tilted his head towards the interior of the industrial park. The two took out their weapons and moved forward cautiously.

Yuan Si's weapon is a ghost gold rod that looks a bit strange. Compared to the normal ghost gold rod, the one in his hand is longer. There are two slightly raised patterns on the handle, which are in the shape of a python, suitable for grasping. It is very heavy, and the spikes are very short, rough and hard.

Pei Lan's weapons looked much more normal. They were some common-looking handleless throwing knives, but they were actually quite secretive. They were hollow, and the space inside contained a powerful paralyzing toxin. Excessive intake of toxin by the human body could cause cardiac arrest. There were also some strange patterns on the throwing knives, and it was unclear what they were used for.

After a while, the two arrived at Area D where the original organization was located, but the situation here made them a little confused.

"Strange, why is there no sound at all? The lights are still on."

"Go and have a look. Stand behind me."

The two were originally observing at the passage connecting Area B and Area D. The view here was very good, and they could see the whole picture of Area D. It was also very dark, suitable for hiding. However, after observing for a while, the two heard no sound. This was not right. According to the intelligence they had obtained before, the organization would have people on guard every day, so it was impossible that there would be no sound at all. Even if they were trying to keep quiet, until now, the two had not seen the patrol officers returning.

Feeling that something was fishy, ​​the two left their hiding place, followed the passage of Area D from a secret location, entered Area D, and sneaked into a factory, which was the "kitchen" originally used by the organization to produce contraband.

"No one, where are you?"

"Same."

"Ran?"

"It's possible, look here."

Pei Lan squatted somewhere in the factory, waved back and called Yuan Si over. Pei Lan pointed to the place in front of her. There was a bullet hole on the wall with a bullet stuck inside.

"But that doesn't mean anything, does it? These guys must have a lot of guns, and this bullet hole could have been left by an accidental discharge or while they were playing with the guns."

"One bullet hole, that's reasonable, but..."

"Tear!"

Pei Lan tore off a piece of tattered foam board next to the bullet hole, revealing the wall behind it, which was covered with dense bullet holes.

"I don't think it would be possible for these guys to fire so many shots into the kitchen, no matter how stupid they were. There must have been a gunfight here."

"Let's go check out other locations."

After leaving the factory, the two men began to investigate the other two warehouses. In one of the warehouses, they saw the warehouse door that had been shot into a hornet's nest, and the damaged office at the back.

"Looking at the traces left at the scene, it seems that the organization's thugs attacked someone at the main entrance of the warehouse. Judging from the number of bullet holes, there must have been quite a few people involved in the attack."

"But who are they attacking? This level of firepower doesn't look like an internal conflict."

The two men walked into the warehouse, entered the damaged office, and studied the severely damaged back office wall. After investigating, they came to a conclusion.

"According to the clues we received, someone opened a window from the back of the warehouse, which is the half-closed window we saw, and then entered the warehouse from that position, came to the back of the office, and then destroyed the wall and entered the office."

"There are several pistol bullet holes on the wall in front of the office, which means that the person who broke into the office by destroying the back wall must have attacked the people in the office. The rifle bullet holes at the door must have been caused by the thugs who rushed in after hearing the gunshots."

"Someone attacked this organization?"

"It looks like that, but how dare you rush in with just a pistol?"

"According to the clues we got from our investigation, the battle should have started in this office. We also saw some bullet holes left by pistols in other locations in Area D. Using pistols against dozens of rifles, the other side must have something. Perhaps the people who attacked the organization are also players of Infinite City? What abilities do they have?"

"But what's the reason for him doing this? Seeking revenge?"

"That's not clear, and there are two suspicious points that make me very confused."

"You mean, there was no body and no shell casings on the ground?"

"Well, that means the other party cleaned up the battlefield after the battle. In this case, there may be more than one person attacking the organization."

"When was the last time we got any information about this criminal organization?"

"This morning, so at least at that time, the organization must still be there."

"In just half a day, he killed all the people in the organization and cleaned up the battlefield. It seems that he is a veteran."

"Pei Lan, do you think that deputy director...will also be killed?"

Yuan Si's words cheered Pei Lan up.

"It's possible. If that's the case, then the people or forces that attacked the organization's base should not be targeting the organization itself, but the deputy director. Maybe they were just taking advantage of the situation to clean up the organization's thugs."

"Someone from Infinity?"

"It's unlikely. If it was them, they would only take the deputy director away and then erase the memories of the organization members here. But if it was someone else, I can't think of any other connection points for the time being. Let's search again, maybe we can find some inconspicuous clues."

"it is good."

After carefully searching the deserted D area again, the two became even more confused. Logically speaking, a battlefield that had experienced a gunfight should have some bloodstains even if it had been cleaned up. But there was no bloodstains, not even a drop of blood.

"It shouldn't be like this? There's nothing left... Wait a minute, Yuan Si! Come over here and take a look!"

Pei Lan, who had a keen insight, discovered some imperceptible traces on the central passage of Area D. They were some white powder mixed with sand and gravel. Something had passed over them, leaving some traces.

"Pow, but something ran over it. The traces look familiar. They should be the tracks of construction site vehicles, but I can't remember what they were. Pei Lan, do you have any impression?"

"No, I'll give Zhao Mingkai a call. His family owns a construction group. He was always on construction sites when he was a kid, so he should have some impression of him."

Zhao Mingkai is Pei Lan, another leader of the guild where Yuan Si is located. He is the third generation of a wealthy family in a construction group. However, he is an upright and charitable person. He often followed his parents to construction sites when he was a child and knows everything about the things on the construction sites.

"Hello? Zhao Mingkai?"

"Pei Lan? What's the matter with calling so late at night?"

"Hey! Kaikai."

"Fatty? You're here too? What are you doing?"

"Aren't we here to see the deputy director? Didn't you listen carefully during the meeting?"

"Hiss... seems like... I didn't hear it. Cough cough."

"Forget it. We need your help here. I'll send you a picture. It should be the tire tracks of a construction site vehicle. See if you can tell the model of the vehicle."

"Okay, send it to me and let me take a look."

After Pei Lan sent the picture, Zhao Mingkai climbed out of bed and looked at it carefully.

"Luckily you thought of me first. Most people can't tell that what you took is too small!"

"So these are indeed tire tracks?"

"Yes, it is a small truck. It is very common in small construction sites. It is usually used to transport sand or cement. There are also large residential buildings that use it to transport other materials, but most of them are sand and cement. I sent you a picture of this type of truck."

Soon, Zhao Mingkai sent a picture of a truck. Coincidentally, the truck in the picture was the same model as the one left by Han Zu in Area C.

"Is there anything else you need my help with?"

"Not for now, thanks, go to sleep."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Lan and Yuan Si began to look for similar traces in the passage. Surprisingly, they followed the tracks of the truck that had not been completely cleaned up and found the correct direction, and also found the small truck.

"It's very clean, there's nothing there, it must have been cleaned by someone."

"Could it be just a coincidence and this car had nothing to do with the shootout?"

"But I don't think so. Look ahead."

Following the direction of Yuan Si's finger, the two saw the foundation not far ahead, the cement inside had not dried yet.

"The hood of the cement truck was still warm, so it must have just been taken out of service, and the cement must have just been poured in."

"Will there be...Yuan Si underneath?"

"Understood. Stand back a bit."

Pei Lan took a few steps back, Yuan Si raised the Ghost Gold Stick with both hands and smashed it hard towards the cement. A strange scene appeared. The cement that had not yet dried suddenly split into two, revealing something buried under the cement.

Several large bags of contraband and a large amount of ashes whose true identity was unknown.

Among the players of Infinite City, those who can become upper-class players are not fools. The bag containing contraband was not opened, and even if there was a leak from the bottom, it was impossible for such a large amount to exist. So, considering the clues they had investigated before, they quickly understood what those large amounts of ashes were.

"Someone killed everyone here, burned them to ashes, and then covered them with cement to destroy the evidence?"

"I don't think it's just one person. It's time-consuming and laborious to clean up the scene. If our intelligence is correct, these guys were still alive this morning. So, it's not possible for one person to complete all these steps in half a day."

"If it's a particularly powerful guy, then there's another story."

"I don't think a guy with this kind of strength would use a pistol as a weapon. Besides, there aren't many guys of that level. It's impossible for him to conflict with such an inferior organization. But now that you mention it... it's not completely impossible."

"Anyway, let's tell them what's going on here first. The deputy director's matter is probably ruined."

Pei Lan took out his cell phone and dialed the previous video call.

"We have a situation here."

She informed the other party in detail of her findings in Area D, including traces of gunfire, trucks, and ashes buried under cement.

"It seems that the deputy director may have been killed as well." said the person on the other end of the phone.

"What should we do next? The line with the deputy director is broken."

"It's okay. This operation might not be successful anyway. Come back and take a rest today. We will meet at noon tomorrow to discuss the next steps."

"Row."

"Don't hang up yet Pei Lan! Look at this!"

While Pei Lan was talking on the phone, Yuan Si wanted to smoke another cigarette, but he didn't hold it firmly and the lighter fell to the ground and rolled into the darkness nearby. He walked over and bent down to pick it up, but just as his hand touched the lighter, he saw another tire track.

"It looks like the tire tracks of a car? Why do I feel like I've seen them somewhere?"

"Me too."

"Hold your phone closer and turn on the light so I can see it too."

The person on the other end of the phone looked at the tire tracks on the ground and suddenly thought of something.

"I remember now! In the information I received about the deputy director, there was a photo of him and his car. If I remember correctly, the tire marks of the car looked like this!"

“Look at the photo again!”

The person on the other end of the phone left the camera for a while, and returned a few seconds later with a tablet in his hand. A photo was displayed on it.

"Yes! It's the same car!"

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"It shouldn't be. This model has just been on the market. I checked the number of cars in U City. The local sales center doesn't have this car. This track must be the deputy director's car! Can you search again to find the direction this car left?"

"Don't hang up yet, I'll go take a look."

Yuan Si left his original position and followed the wheel tracks. Although they were not very obvious, there were indeed traces of vehicles leaving. However, they were interrupted after only a dozen meters, and it was probably cleaned up by someone. Yuan Si immediately returned to his original position and shared the news with the two.

"Then someone must have taken his car. Maybe there are some clues in the car."

"I'll see if I can find his location based on the car's information, like the license plate number or engine number or something like that. But you guys should come back first, it'll take some time to locate the vehicle."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Si and Pei Lan got back in the car, left the industrial park, and returned to their respective residences, waiting to meet with others at noon tomorrow to discuss the details.
