Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 148 Trap
The police called by Tessa quickly arrived at the villa area and put up a fence outside the villa to prevent other people in the community from approaching.

The wall made of banknotes was still quite shocking, but what surprised Shanying was that the detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau who arrived were actually indifferent in the face of so much money.

This is somewhat different from Shanying's impression of the Thai police...

When Tessa saw the people who were taking photos for evidence had arrived, she pulled Shanying and said to Shanying, who had a strange expression, as they walked down the stairs: "Not all police officers in Thailand are corrupt, and some money cannot be touched..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's right, such a big case will definitely be reported in the news.

If the amount of money doesn't match the amount found on behalf of the deceased, the police at the scene might be in trouble.

However, this organization that takes the place of the dead lost last year's entire income in one go, and I don't think they will let this go.

What do you usually do with that money?

Tessa thought for a moment and said, “Normally, we would hold a press conference after the case is closed and announce that all the money will be confiscated.

However, until the case is closed, the money will be stored as evidence in the evidence room of the Criminal Investigation Bureau..."

Shanying didn't understand the Thai police's procedures, he just thought the killing method was a bit strange...

He clearly found the money, but he only took the things in the safe and did not touch a penny of the money.

This does not fit the tone of "scapegoat", because these slum killers who have been exploited for a long time should have no resistance to money.

But thinking about the weight of the money, it seems that a sober killer would not risk running away with such a heavy thing on his back.

Maybe he exposed the money just to use the police to retaliate against the scapegoat organization.

After going down to the first floor, Shanying heard the vomiting sounds of several police officers at the door...

The villa owner's facial features were stripped off alive, and his death was truly tragic.

Watching Tessa put the notebook into an evidence bag and hand it to a criminal investigation bureau evidence collector with a work badge, Shanying stretched out his hand and pulled Tessa's arm, saying, "Let's go, the killer's goal has been achieved.

There is no point in you staying here, let others investigate the identity of the owner of this villa, you need to rest now..."

When Tessa heard this, she frowned and said, "What do you mean the killer's goal has been achieved?"

Shanying shook his head and said, "None of them died from gunshot. Just look at the bodies of the two bodyguards at the door. They were killed by having their throats slit before they could even fire.

The one who fired the shot was the killer. He deliberately led the police to come, most likely to expose the existence of the "substitute victim" and then use the police's power for revenge. "

Shanying pulled Tessa to the door and glanced at the people watching outside the isolation zone and the two crying children sitting in the police car. He shook his head and said, "It is the police's duty to crack down on the 'scapegoat', but don't let the killer lead you by the nose...

Do your part well. I think the killer will show up again. He is so ruthless that he dares to peel off a person's face. With him around, it will be much easier for you to fight against the scapegoat."

When Tessa heard this, she frowned and said, “You want me to let that killer roam around?
Who knows what he might do to get revenge?"

Shanying was stunned for a moment. He realized that this was not a political struggle and that he should not use underworld thinking to interfere with Tessa's investigation, because allowing the killer to act might indeed cause chaos and collateral casualties.

Shanying patted his head and said, "You are right. As a policeman, we should not let a killer run wild...

I suggest you leak the information about the killer and the substitute to Kobe Andrews of the NCIS...

The scapegoat must have bribed or even controlled a large number of low- and middle-level police officers in Thailand, and used Kobe's eagerness to find the killer to gain the trust of those soldiers, and put pressure on the British government through them...

Your family certainly doesn't have time to investigate these cases right now, so it can only be someone assigned by the British government to cooperate with Kobe.

In this way, your mother can complete an investigation and cleansing of the middle and lower-level police officers without being a bad person.

As for how to track the killer, that is a bit beyond my ability. The police are definitely more professional than me in this area..."

After hearing this, Tessa looked at Shanying with a strange expression and said, "How did you come up with so many things in such a short time?"

Shanying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If you spend a few years in a company full of smart people, you will find that politics is not difficult...

No matter what happens, as long as you are willing to think, you can find the direction that is beneficial to you, and then find allies to do your best to push things in a good direction.

Politics is not simply about attacking and framing each other. Most of the time, as long as you make yourself better and let more allies enjoy the benefits, you can defeat most of your opponents. "

Tessa was stunned for a moment, and after a few minutes of silence, she suddenly said, "What kind of company is the Singapore security company you work for?
What exactly do you want to do when you return to Thailand?
Tagore guessed that your purpose was to conduct business in Thailand, but I didn’t see that you had any idea of setting up a security company…”

Shanying was stunned for a moment. How would he know what the Singapore security company was like?
Blood Fox once told him that the security company was just a shell company used to pay pensions to retired Arctic Foxes.

As a result, for some unknown reason, the company on file caused misunderstandings among Tessa and her family.

Looking at Tessa's inquiring eyes, Shanying hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have any idea of opening a security company for the time being, but I am indeed looking for business channels and trying to do some private business...

For example, the old man named Eddie whom you saw in the casino that night... He is a senior executive in the risk control department of the Southeast Asia branch of the French Ansheng Group. He invited me to participate in a ransom payment mission against pirates in a while.

The mission is not dangerous. My main task is to assist the people from AXA Group to assess the shipping risks in the Andaman Sea.”

"You're a mercenary!!"

Tessa had an 'I see' expression on her face and said, "You said you didn't want to start a security company. This is obviously the business of professional mercenaries."

Shanying doesn't like others treating him as a 'mercenary', but it would be too troublesome to explain...

So Shanying nodded slightly and said helplessly: "You said I am a mercenary, so be it."

After hearing this, Tessa squinted her eyes and looked at Shanying up and down, then took out a banknote and stuffed it into Shanying's chest pocket, and said with a smile: "OK, Mr. Mercenary, you are mine for the next 24 hours. Remember to listen to me and let me finish the things here..."

Shanying touched his chest, sighed, and said, "Madam, overtime work is charged at a different price..."

Tessa reached out and touched the stubble on Shanying's chin, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Be good, and I can give you a little extra reward after get off work.

I have a small uniform that you will definitely like!"

........................

When Tessa was flirting with Shanying, in a park a few hundred meters away from the villa area...

Tom used a coconut tree as cover and stared at the vehicles coming and going in front of the villa with a monocular telescope.

When he saw a gray van, along with six motorcycle riders, stayed in the shadow of the roadside diagonally opposite the villa gate for a few minutes, then quickly left and drove towards the south of the road.

After the van left, the two motorcyclists who were left behind began circling the villa area.

Tom glanced at the two young men on motorcycles, then took out his cell phone and made a call...

"Carlos, did you receive my gift?"

A rough voice came from the other end of the phone: "FUCK YOU Tom, why don't you just die?

Just wait, our people will find you...

They'll drain your blood the same way they killed your mom, by sticking your head in the toilet!"

Tom hung up the phone, got on an off-road motorcycle, and chased in the direction the van had just left...

........................

As the highest-ranking detective at the scene, Tessa sat in the back seat of the police car, calming the two children and trying to get some information about their parents from their mouths.

Shanying leaned against the police car, watching the detectives from the Criminal Investigation Bureau, the evidence collectors, and several other policemen busy coming in and out of the villa.

A large amount of cash was transported out and packed in several large cardboard boxes. After being photographed, they were put into a security vehicle specially used to transport on-site evidence.

Along with the cash, several computer devices and hard drives were also loaded into the car...

Shanying had seen those things, which were all surveillance videos inside and outside the villa. The angles of the videos covered all the rooms and gardens inside and outside the villa, even the bathroom, without any blind spots.

What’s even more outrageous is that these monitoring devices also have remote mode, which means that this family is either mentally ill or they have been living under surveillance all year round.

Shanying was born in a country where there are numerous cameras, but he has no way of imagining how a family lives under such a surveillance environment.

The technical team of the Criminal Investigation Bureau extracted the video footage of the murder and found that the killer was indeed the one who appeared in the hospital...

Moreover, when he was torturing the owner of the villa, he chose an angle facing the surveillance camera in the living room, so that the camera could record the process of torturing the male owner without blind spots.

The entire process of the crime was extremely bloody and cruel, and because the advanced surveillance could not only record the images but also the sounds, the horror was magnified exponentially. Even the technical staff of the Criminal Investigation Bureau could not bear it...

The killer didn't ask any more questions except for the password to the safe.

Just like Shanying guessed, that guy was killing for someone to see...

Unfortunately, Shanying couldn't understand the conversation between the killer and the male host, and he was embarrassed to disturb the technicians who were working, so he didn't figure out what the murderer said.

Just as Shanying was wondering what the killer wanted to do, Tessa got out of the police car and said in a heavy tone: "The male owner of the villa is an accountant..."
