On the second floor of the music restaurant, Lucy's office.

Zhuang Xuteng sat on the sofa. He shook his head and thanked Lucy for the hot tea. He said that this was not why he came. He knew very well that he did not have the ability to independently investigate the death of his brother and had to rely on Lucy's intelligence network.

This time, he not only wanted to hear about the progress of the investigation, but also told her about the coincidence of the collision between the armored vehicle and the chemical truck.

"I also discovered this situation." Lucy sighed, admitting that this matter was difficult to handle. "Here is the preliminary investigation report, including the specific actions of the escort team and their explanation of the incident. You

Look at the penultimate page."

The penultimate page of the report describes the situation on the night of the car accident. Zhuang Teng worked overtime at the manufacturing plant. He not only had to worry about the scheduling of the production line, but also contacted upstream and downstream manufacturers and customers. According to the report of the security team, the Bestune Automobile Manufacturing Plant

The boss of the factory - Zhuang Teng's former boss - was not concerned about the production and operation of the factory. Zhuang Teng had actually completely taken over all the work of the factory and became the head of the factory.

It seems that the fact that his brother actually controls the equity has been discovered, and the transfer of power seems to have been completed - Zhuang Xuteng continued to read.

That night, Zhuang Teng kept making phone calls in the office and was not ready to get off work until 11 o'clock. He originally said that he would stay overnight in the factory, so the plan made by the escort team was to test and debug the newly installed monitoring system at night. Zhuang Teng made the temporary change

Plan, decided to go home, but at this time the system joint debugging had begun, and the escort team was immediately short of manpower.

"Either stick to the plan and keep him, or call for support and send more manpower." Zhuang Xuteng said when he saw this.

Lucy nodded and signaled Zhuang Xuteng to continue looking down.

Since it was a temporary trip, the escort team judged that the risk was low. In addition, they had tested the vehicle in advance and believed that it was strong enough to protect Zhuang Teng, so they agreed to the action. Zhuang Teng said that he would only stay in his hometown for half an hour.

, I will rush back that night, so I just need a driver to follow...

"He said only one driver?" Zhuang Xuteng frowned and shook his head. "My brother felt that the situation was not good, so he took the initiative to hire additional security. In this case, he would only ask for a driver, not even a driver.

Bringing an extra bodyguard? I don’t believe this, I suspect this is their excuse.”

Lucy made no comment. She sat quietly, as motionless as a sculpture.

Before setting off, they briefly checked the vehicle, which included accelerator, brake, steering and three starts and stops. Their actions here were very cautious, but it is possible that they did not actually perform these actions, and the "caution" only remained on paper.

.

"The time when the car leaves is 11:50 pm. Isn't this midnight? Why did he choose this time? Everyone in the family is asleep at this time, and he has to spend a lot of time on the road. Is there anything that he must do?

Go back immediately?"

"You need to ask." Lucy said.

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "My parents both said they didn't know my brother was going back that day. They didn't tell them in advance, and there were no missed calls or text messages. If they had, they would have found out early in the morning that my brother had not arrived.

They would worry and ask instead of going to work in the fields as usual."

"This is a doubtful point, but it is not the biggest doubtful point." Lucy said: "Turn to the last page. I recorded several time points, but there is a section of the road that does not match up."

Zhuang Xuteng immediately turned to the end. He just glanced at it and discovered the problem: It was midnight when Zhuang Teng set off from the manufacturing plant, and there were few cars on the street. He should be able to drive smoothly. Even if he encountered red lights at every intersection,

It takes too long to leave the city and enter the highway.

"According to my estimation, the journey out of the city should take twenty-five to forty minutes, not the actual hour. I am asking Meteor to retrieve the PCPD's traffic surveillance video to see what they did during this hour.

What." Lucy said: "Due to the previous actions of the Gardeners organization, PCPD upgraded their system. It is now more difficult to obtain information during the investigation. This work is progressing slowly and will take more time. However, the expressway system has not been upgraded.

, Meteor has been found."

The surveillance camera at the high-speed entrance and exit was very unclear, and Meteor used video enhancement technology to improve the clarity. "She was able to confirm two pieces of information: the vehicle had no traces of damage in the area captured by the camera, and the driver and rear passengers were acting normally, so they were charged

The toll agent on duty also behaved normally. In other words, when entering the expressway, no suspicion was found."

Zhuang Xuteng touched the hair on the top of his head, sighed, and said: "Lucy, this security team is not good. It didn't stay at the factory overnight as originally planned, it didn't report or ask for support; the car was on the road for too long, and it still didn't

Reporting does not require support. Are they a team? Do they put the safety of the plant before the safety of their clients? Do they have any brains?"

Lucy clenched her fists and said: "You are right, this is a complete dereliction of duty! I am also investigating to see what influenced their abnormal behavior. Nike, these mercenaries have been successful

I have completed more than twelve protection tasks, and there has always been no problem with my professionalism. I promise you that I will get to the bottom of it and give you an answer that can withstand testing."

"Okay, I will wait for this answer, and..." Zhuang Xuteng said: "Sister Lucy, you didn't deal with me on this matter, I should thank you."

"Do you want to hear the truth? I really don't want to accept this thank you." Lucy said: "This is purely a bad thing. It only has bad results and will definitely not bring any benefits. If it hadn't been for this thing, we would be sitting here now.

The conversations here are all pleasant topics, not...Nike, if I find out there is something wrong with the security team, I will give you an explanation."

"Just leave it to me." Zhuang Xuteng squinted his eyes, full of murderous intent.

"I need to rectify the discipline, so it must be done by me. I can only leave the final part to you - assuming that he did not neglect his duty, but deliberately murdered." Lucy paused and said: "If he was just negligent,

, there is no subjective intention, you can’t kill him.”

"I will consider it as appropriate." Zhuang Xuteng stood up and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave in a hurry, there is one more thing." Lucy said: "Liuko Shinra has been contacted about the implant..."

"Sister Lucy, I don't have the mind to think about this right now. You can tell Brother Dao, and he can help me decide." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "I have to go to another place, maybe there will be clues about this matter.

I won’t be able to rest at ease unless I find out. By the way, can Meteor obtain my brother’s call records? Maybe we can find out who is doing harm to him.”

"It's already being done, but the intelligence analysis is very complicated, and I need time. In addition, you should be careful... don't rush around like a headless fly, that's not like you usually do. I need you now

Consider a situation: If he was killed, then the murderer must be staring at his family to confirm whether the matter can be concluded or further action is needed. If there is this person, then he must be in the dark, you

Extreme caution must be exercised and you must at least return to your usual state of alertness."

Zhuang Xuteng stood there, then sat back on the chair, took a sip of the tea in front of him. He nodded slowly and asked to think here for a while.

Lucy's warning was very timely, allowing Zhuang Xuteng to break away from the behavioral pattern driven by emotional impulses. Zhuang Xuteng carefully recalled his behavior during this period, and he found that he had forgotten many details, which he never did when performing tasks.

He needs to reflect and get himself back into shape.

"The key to success is whether you can do the right thing, not whether you are full of emotions." Lucy said: "The harder it is to stay rational, the more reason you need. Anger can only give you a chance to fight hard, and at the same time make you

Their behavior is more predictable. I know that as long as you are still human, it will be difficult to stay sane, but it is through overcoming difficulties that people will grow and become strong enough."

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked: "What do you mean when you say strong enough...enough? Did you discover something?"

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, tapped the table with her fingers, and said: "Okay! I finally recovered a little, which is good. I didn't find any direct or indirect evidence. I just had a feeling: If this thing is not an accident, then

It can only be made by a top company. After all, your brother has invented something amazing."

Gasoline engine-driven cars, complete technical routes, and advanced models that can be mass-produced are all very valuable, and it is only a matter of time before they attract companies. In fact, Zhuang Teng has been prepared for it. He does not want to - and at the same time does not dare - to live alone.

Take the initiative to adopt a cooperative attitude and be prepared to work together

Enjoy his own technology and then charge technology licensing fees. In his vision, the income from licensing fees is the bulk of the work. The work in the automobile manufacturing plant is complicated and tiring. As a technician, he is not in the business, so at the beginning of the plan,

He didn't want to be involved in too much energy.

"Top companies have very strong execution capabilities. Whatever they want to do will always be done - this is the most terrifying thing about them." Lucy said: "In contrast, whether it is PCPD, riot squad or

The Constitutional Defense Force, they are overall two levels behind in terms of execution. As for the Constitutional Government, it is just the opposite: chaotic and self-restraining." Lucy said: "I always think: This situation is most beneficial to the four major companies.

Maybe they did it on purpose."

Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said: "My brother has opened the license for gasoline engines, and everyone can make money together. He is not greedy, and has always aimed at negotiating a cooperation..."

"Naike, listen to me: if the four major companies are reasonable, there will be no corporate war. If this matter is finally found to be only doubtful and without any evidence, then it is most likely done by the four major companies. Really?

In that case, you have to make a choice: stop and accept it as an accident, or continue the investigation and risk the death of your entire family."

"I don't know." Zhuang Xuteng thought about it carefully and said, "There is a problem with what you said: if I knew that the matter was related to the four major companies, I would not need to continue the investigation. I would only need to think about gathering strength to find opportunities for revenge.

Therefore, the investigation will not continue indefinitely."

Lucy nodded and said: "Okay! You are indeed back to normal now - I'm just testing you. This matter is probably still a problem with the security team, so you don't have to worry too much. Okay, I'll contact you if I have news.

Pay more attention to rest and don’t be too tired.”

After coming out of Lucy's place, Zhuang Xuteng drove around the city roads for a few times to make sure that no one was following him, and then he drove in the direction of the black market. While driving, he kept thinking about Lucy's words. In fact, he also considered business competition

Think of murder as a possibility, but thinking without evidence is essentially called speculation.

What he found most incredible was how coincidental it seemed. They had just completed the task of stealing the treasure house carriage. Such an operation involved all aspects. The entire operation required many links to be executed seamlessly to achieve ultimate success, but that plan

At least I can still think of it.

As for Zhuang Teng's car accident, if it was not an accident, how was it arranged and how was it executed? Zhuang Xuteng thought he was good at planning, but this time he had no clue. If he was asked to arrange an assassination, he would

He would choose to wait until Zhuang Teng returned home and left the vehicle to attack.

"If this matter can be arranged, then Zhuang Teng's departure time and direction are determined. At this time, as long as he moves faster than the car and prepares an ambush at the destination in advance, he can easily succeed. On the contrary,

If you are on the road, you need to coordinate the dangerous goods tanker truck and control the time, place and method of the accident..."

Increasing the difficulty is tantamount to asking for trouble for yourself, and Zhuang Xuteng can't see any additional benefits from increasing the additional difficulty. The more he thinks about it, the more rationally he thinks this is an accident, at most caused by lack of due diligence, unprofessionalism and paralysis.

Accidents caused by carelessness.

But his feelings didn't want to accept the answers that reason provided.

In addition to Lucy's line, Zhuang Xuteng also has another direction of investigation, which is the White Flag Grocery Store on the black market. Boss Qian has business cooperation with the two brothers. In particular, he also knows the situation of equity transactions and has influence on the automobile manufacturer.

If this is done by a top company, it must be related to interests, and clues can often be found from daily business activities.

When I came to the black market, I found that the place was cordoned off by the PCPD and no one was allowed to enter or exit. After questioning, it was found that the place accidentally burned down three days ago. The blue crystals hidden in one of the shops were ignited, and the rising smoke made the black market burn down.

The residents on the floor were poisoned to varying degrees. The local gangs were unable to cover up the accident, and the PCPD had to make a gesture and conduct an in-depth investigation here.

Zhuang Xuteng went around the original black market to investigate and wanted to ask about the situation of the original merchants. The people here were quite impatient and either said they didn't know or said he was an annoying reporter and told him to get out of here. Zhuang Xuteng sighed.

He felt that the fire was too coincidental, just like his brother's car accident. Just when he took out his mobile phone and tried to dial Boss Qian's number, he received a text message.

"I see you. Enter the fire stairway from behind and ignore the maintenance closure notice at the door. Go up the 81 steps, then reach out your left hand and touch the wall, and you will be able to touch the secret door entrance. I'll wait for you inside, Qian.
