Chapter 228 Investigation
Weekend, early morning, Eric's home.
"Give us a minute and we will bring you the whole world."
After the standard opening remarks, morning news began to be broadcast on the TV. The scene turned to the bank of a long river, and the beautiful blonde reporter facing the camera was filled with police officers coming and going.
"It is reported that the body of Frederick Forsville, who has an important reputation within the New York criminal organization, was found on the waters of the East River. According to some unconfirmed police reports, his skull has been completely shattered and seems to have suffered a very severe blow. The police currently seem to have determined the nature of the incident as the result of internal gangs. Details are still to be investigated..."
"It's that guy!" Peter exclaimed when he saw the photo of the deceased's face on the TV screen, "It was this guy who leaked to me that Fisk had an important charity dinner on Friday night... Did Fisk kill him? Because he leaked the news to me?"
"It should be." Eric, who sat opposite him across a table, said lightly.
"Oh my God, Fisk is such a demon, right? I mean... can he just kill someone casually and throw it into the river?"
"That's it." Eric shrugged, "It's still time to back off now. You might have ended like this last night."
"What? No, I won't forget it."
At this point, Riven, who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, quickly walked out, threw the apron aside, and placed the plate on the dining table. Eric and Peter each sat at one end of the dining table, staring at the plate, which contained the pancakes she had just finished.
Since Raven failed to make pancakes for Eric last birthday, she seems to have worked hard to improve a lot. Regardless of the taste, at least the appearance of these cakes today looks like that, and the color does make people want to talk.
"Wow, I can't tell that Rachel can cook!" Peter exclaimed.
Ruiwen nodded expressionlessly, then pulled away the chair and sat at the table.
"Ahem, Peter, you'll try it first." Eric said.
"Then I'm welcome."
Peter said as he picked up a piece, took a big bite, and his expression became richer at that moment.
As expected, Eric thought to himself.
"Good... delicious..." Peter put down the pancake and showed an almost painful expression, "But can I go and have a drink?"
He almost ran away from the dining table. Eric then grabbed a piece of pancake, took a bite and tasted it as if he closed his eyes for a moment, and then said lightly: "Yeah...it's OK, it's a lot better than last time."
He touched Riven's head: "Ha, it seems that you have a talent for cooking. Come on, maybe you will be a chef in the future."
Ruiwen accepted his praise with a smile. Although his tone was plain but calm, he was clearly filled with joy: "I will work hard."
Peter, who was drinking water, secretly glanced at this side, and secretly admired Eric in his heart. He could make comments like this as if he was just a vague person and even gave a decent comment. Eric was indeed extraordinary. But why did he feel that their atmosphere seemed to be one step closer than before...
Speaking of which, since defeating Sanguard, even if Eric couldn't help touching Riven's head from time to time as before, she did not express her dissatisfaction, and even had no resistance at all. The change was very big.
Peter sat at the table and said, "Okay, we should almost talk about the serious business... Last night you said you wanted to defeat Fisk, but what should you do? You said Fisk's power is almost omnipresent, right? Even if there are people in the police, how can we deal with him? Such a powerful person should not simply forget the evidence of crime in the office, right?"
"This is really possible." Eric smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of it, have you listened carefully to the recent history class?"
"Ah? History class? Uh... I didn't listen much." Peter couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
"Well, if you listen to history classes, you will know that the teacher said a recording about President Nixon's Watergate was recently released, and most of the information was heard before that only a few people had heard it. The history teacher said that initially Nixon decided to destroy the recordings before anyone knew they existed, and this decision was likely to help him retain his position as president, but he did not do that in the end."
Erick paused and asked, "Then think about it now. Parker Nixon is such a suspicious person and has his enemies all over the world. So why did he keep the video of the conversation that would expose his problems intact?"
Peter was stunned, as if suddenly realizing what Eric was referring to.
"Because he felt that no one could do anything to him."
The answer was Ruiwen. At this time, she was sitting on the sofa reading a book with her snow-white and slender legs, without even lifting her head.
"Bingo, smart girl, looks like someone has listened carefully." Eric praised without hesitation.
"All my subjects are a+." Raven replied lightly.
"You want to say King and is like Nixon back then?" Peter asked, "but how did this help us to knock him down?"
"Of course, remember a profound lesson that what happened last night taught you? Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to fighting any battle." Eric said, moving his laptop to the dining table and turning on the computer, saying, "Did you notice the surveillance equipment of the Fisk Building last night?"
"Uh...I left in a hurry last night and didn't pay much attention."
"The 4566 remote monitoring system, an advanced system built by a large company, is said to be widely praised among many Fortune 500 companies." Eric said. "Last night when I got home, I sent an email to their company saying that I was an employee of a film and television company. Our boss was very interested in their company's monitoring equipment and hoped that they could email me some detailed parameters... and then they replied today."
As he said that, Eric had already clicked on the computer to the email. As expected, the other party had sent a detailed product description about the monitoring system of this model to the email address, and also included a video description.
"The 4566 type surveillance system will automatically write all the video data it records into DVD and indicate the recording time. About 5,000 CDs are all stored in the disc storage device. I guess the device should be hidden in the basement of the Fisk Building. If what I expected... there should be a lot of good things recorded in the disc."
