When the midnight clock rang, Mr. Cat kicked open Wang Xu's door and pulled him out of bed. Although the latter complained extremely unhappily, it obviously didn't help...
"I will give you a brief summary of the situation. Please wake up and listen carefully." As Master Mao said, he poured a glass of water on Wang Xu's face.
"Fuck! What are you doing?"
"It's just to improve your sobriety efficiency... Listen carefully now. There are more than twenty professional killers in this hotel who want to kill Terry. These people are all super masters. They are all well-equipped, skilled and well-trained. Finally,
The key thing is that they have spiritual awareness. Although it is only a little bit, it is definitely more difficult to deal with than ordinary special forces."
"Well...how long did I sleep for? Did the Third World War break out?"
Terry had just heard this remark, and he immediately exclaimed: "What did you say? What happened? Am I John Connor in the real world (if you don't know this person, go watch the Terminator series)?"
Master Mao said "cut" with great disdain, "Now let's go to Terry's room and lie in wait. I have asked William to move Tan Hai's body there. We will talk about the specific situation when we get there."
…………
Duan Fei woke up from his sleep, and Ning Tiande was standing next to him, with worry and doubt in his eyes.
"Father..." He struggled to sit up, but was unable to do so.
Ning Tiande pressed him down: "Xiao Fei, don't worry, you are already home, don't be anxious, speak slowly if you have anything to say."
Duan Fei regained his breath: "Who sent me back?"
"It's Senior Emperor Yu of the Song Dynasty, but he doesn't want to tell what happened."
Duan Fei said thoughtfully: "So that's it, he saved me..."
Ning Tiande said: "Your injuries are very serious. Although your life is not in danger now, you will need to stay in bed for three months. Xiaofei... with your ability, why did things turn out like this?"
Duan Fei was silent, as if he was recalling some very bad scenes. Ning Tiande just stood there, staring at him without saying a word.
After about a while of tea, Duan Fei finally spoke: "I must die. My soul must pass away before February 17th!"
…………
"By the way, where are those two uncles? I didn't see Terry when I brought him over at noon." Wang Xu asked.
Master Mao opened a bottle of foreign wine in Terry's room and was enjoying the free wine: "They are leaving. In the next period of time, they will be gathering their strength across the country. They will probably be too busy to have the New Year's Eve dinner."
Already."
Terry interrupted: "Well, Mr. Logan, can you explain to me why so many professional killers want to kill me?"
Mr. Mao put his cigarette in his mouth: "Then let me explain it. The cause of the matter is Tan Hai's disappearance a few years ago. The information William obtained is still of some value, but it is not comprehensive enough. I have left out the deficiencies and doubts.
All have been found out.
First of all, Tan Hai died and became the earthbound spirit here. You all know this. Let’s dig into the cause of his death. Obviously he was not killed by a ghost, because if you are killed by a ghost, you will not be killed again.
Becoming a ghost.
Then there are two possibilities. The first is similar to Yang Sihai's situation, where ghosts control living humans to commit crimes. This chance is very small, because people like Tan Hai, although they have wide interpersonal relationships, are never in a situation where they can't do evil without being a ghost.
Regardless of his existence, he has no emotional connection with others at all, he is just a businessman through and through.
Based on this presumption, Tan Hai was killed. Then the next question comes, who is the murderer? It has been more than three years since the case occurred, and all clues no longer exist. It can be said that this case has been impossible to investigate.
But as the saying goes, there is always a way out. I found a report about this case three years ago on the Internet. In fact, someone had already found out the facts three years ago. He was indeed a smart man, but it was a pity that he was buried."
Wang Xu interrupted: "Wait a minute, you said that someone found out the truth after the case was committed, so why did the case remain unsolved in the end?"
Mr. Cat sighed: "The so-called geniuses all have some quirks and are difficult for the world to understand..."
"Hey, hey... your tone of sympathy is too shameless..."
Master Mao still ignored Wang Xu's complaints and continued: "The person who made the correct deduction is called Amon. He used to be a policeman. Due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he finally had to leave the police force and later became a private detective.
It seemed that he was somewhat famous at the time. His theory was that the hotel's waiters, security guards, monitoring personnel, cleaners, etc. all killed Tan Hai, then cut his body into pieces, covered up the smell and traces with lime, and hid it in the
All over the hotel.”
Wang Xu asked again: "Isn't this too exaggerated? Who believes this kind of reasoning?"
"That's why the case was not solved in the end, because what Amon said was true. According to my investigation, after the incident, more than 20 people resigned in this hotel one after another. They are all grassroots personnel, which means they can be replaced at any time.
That kind of..."
"So what's the motive? They have nothing to do with Tan Hai, right?"
Mr. Mao did not answer this question, but asked: "You have been in ** for a few years, have you ever heard of an organization whose name is 'Midnight'?"
"What does it mean to have been around for a few years? You have only been around for a few years, and your whole family has been around for a few years! I'm just a dealer, what about midnight and night? I've heard of Tokyo Fever." (No.
I know Tokyo is hot...forget it, I just never knew.)
Master Mao said: "Then I'll just pretend you haven't heard of it. The organization 'Midnight' has been associated with almost all major crimes in the last century. Their scope of activities extends all over the world, and there are hundreds of peripheral members of the organization.
There are thousands of plans, and the core members are all considered the elite of human society. This unimaginable criminal group can be said to influence the world in the dark, and even have their puppets in the political circles of many countries.
This organization acts very purposefully, and some people must die once they are targeted. Tan Hai is one of them, and Terry is another."
Terry was dumbfounded on the spot: "Are you kidding me? How could I be targeted by such a powerful organization? Is there something wrong?"
Master Mao seemed very relaxed: "Of course I'm not mistaken, the global financial crisis is happening recently, and you, the Asian president of Global Development Company, can be said to be a figure at the forefront. The Midnight Organization involves economics, politics, and even religion.
There are countless tentacles in other fields, who knows which interests you have touched...
Perhaps, the case three years ago will end up missing, which is also related to the influence of this organization, who knows... In short, they will definitely take action tonight, using the same method as they used to kill Tan Hai."
Master Mao said, taking out a piece of paper and saying: "Here is a list. All of the people on the list are the staff who have just come to work in this hotel within a week. What is very interesting is that their predecessors are all here inexplicably."
They left their jobs at about the same time, and these people stepped in to fill the void."
Wang Xu took it and glanced at it. There were indeed more than twenty people: "Are they all Midnight's killers?"
"Most of them should be, and there may be killers pretending to be guests. Midnight's plan cannot fail, and will never leave any traces. Even if it is a very simple task, such as killing a guy like Terry, they will not
Acting hastily, they pursue the perfect crime.
Every operation of the organization will have two people in charge, usually core members or elites among the formal members, and all killers are formal members, which are very different from those peripheral members."
"Wait! Having said all that, how do you know about Midnight? And you are so familiar with its internal operations. A few years ago, Amon didn't know that such an organization existed, right? Could it be that you..." Wang Xu looked sideways.
Looking at Master Mao, he thought: Master Mao might be the second boss of the organization or something like that.
"What's so difficult about this? When I was thirteen, I could even find out about the ghost hunting community. It's not like trying to find out about a criminal organization."
Wang Xu had to admit that these words were quite convincing when Master Mao said them.
"So what are your plans now?"
"What else can we plan? These killers will take action tonight, and Tan Hai's complete ghost will also appear. We sit here drinking and waiting for work. People come to kill people, and ghosts come to catch ghosts. Kill them all without leaving a trace, and clean them.
Yo yo."
William, who was captured as a coolie, became more and more frightened as he listened. The two talked about transnational criminal groups and supernatural forces as if they were commonplace. He was scared to death just listening to them. There were more than twenty killers who were stronger than the special forces.
Come to kill someone, he is still staying in this room. When the time comes, it will be dark, and if there is an accidental injury or something, it will be difficult for him to leave a whole body.
William wanted to run away after thinking this, but as soon as he reached the door, his expression changed, and then his voice trembled, and he said to the three people in the room: "There is... there is... someone is outside..."
