Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 267 Big Event

Tagore's angry speech made Kate realize the seriousness of the problem...

She walked to Tagore's side, looked at Shanying with a complicated expression, and said, "Please step aside for a moment. I have a confidential matter to discuss with Director Paisuoko."

Tagore waved his hand to stop Shanying from retreating and said in a deep voice, "Don't listen to her. I don't have any secrets to discuss with her."

Kate understood Tagore's anger. She reluctantly moved closer to Tagore and said in a very small voice, "I contacted Sabaya, and he assured me that the attackers here were not from Asabaev's organization."

When Tagore heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said: "Do you think I will believe what a terrorist says?

How do I know that this isn't a double act between you and Asabaev, in order to get him to take back the leadership of the organization?"

Shanying looked at Kate's livid face and he almost couldn't help but give Tagore a thumbs up.

Although Tagore's "politician's counterattack" is full of speculation and ignores the fact that the biggest losses are suffered by the British and American intelligence agencies, you have to admit that this is also a possibility...

Thinking of this, Shanying was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "If Sabaya is your man, why did the Asabaev organization hire assassins to attack the CIA's secret team?"

Kate's expression suddenly changed, and then she said solemnly, "That was the Asabaev Organization's revenge against the CIA for imprisoning and abusing their former leader Sabaya.

Sabaya had no prior knowledge of this!
We regret the deaths of those people, but in order to dismantle the Asabaev Organization, a real cancer, we can only choose to endure it temporarily.

It's you, Officer Yue Shan, who needs to explain because you have a connection with the killer Tom.

Why did the killer Tom appear in Pattaya Hospital?

Our people got the surveillance footage from the hospital and found out that the killer Tom was the one who murdered the two American soldiers.

And we have evidence that this killer Tom is a killer from an organization called "The Substitute".

We suspect that someone from Asabaev's organization hired the 'Substitute Organization' to attack the CIA's secret team.

As a police officer involved in the investigation, why did you send the killer Tom to the hospital after he was injured and pay for his medical expenses?"

Shanying ignored Kate's questioning. He stared into Kate's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Is Tom dead?

That so-called CIA secret team was actually a scapegoat created by you, right?
Killing them was to allow Sabaya to prove his position to the people in Asabaev's organization, right?
You hired Tom, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Tagore glared at Kate and said angrily, "No wonder you always want to lead the investigation to Shan. This is actually a fucking drama you are acting on yourselves..."

As Tagore spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and he said in a deep voice: "If it's just acting, you don't have to be serious at all...

Who were those secret teams that died?

I need their identity information and what have they done before?
I am now officially informing you that Shan is a Thai police officer and you have no right to bring any charges against him without evidence!

If you continue, I will arrest you!"

Kate shook her head calmly and said, "No, your accusation against me has no basis. I think you should give up your prejudice and face the problem seriously.

Those people are not members of the Asabaev organization. Their purpose is to attack British and American intelligence agencies and to worsen our relationship with the Asabaev organization.

We are the real victims, but now you are blaming the victims. Don’t you think your thinking is ridiculous?
Sir, let me remind you that the hostages in the small building are all outstanding British and American public officials. If you ignore their safety and insist on launching an attack, you will bear full responsibility if there are casualties among them. "

Shanying watched the confrontation between the two. He suddenly understood many things that he had not understood before...

How was Tom found?

Terrorists cannot enter a heavily guarded hospital, and there is no need to take the risk.

But the CIA is different. They have the hospital surveillance and can compare the injured Tom with the killer who previously assassinated the American soldier.

This is where Shanying neglected to do so. With the idea that "the light is darkest", he placed Tom in Pattaya Hospital.

He didn't expect that in addition to Kobe from the NCIS, the CIA would also be involved in the incidents involving American soldiers.

Kobe and his group were under close surveillance by the police officers arranged by Tessa, and had no time to pay attention to the patients on other floors.

But the CIA, which has more outstanding technical capabilities, is different!
Not only was the CIA able to find Tom and confirm his identity through video matching, but they also had the ability to easily enter the hospital and offer a job to Tom, who was already desperate at the time.

Shanying didn't know how they persuaded Tom to work despite his injury...

However, Tom was able to deal with 18 people alone despite being injured. His ability is certainly one aspect, but there must be someone behind the scenes who is very familiar with those people and provided intelligence support to Tom.

Shanying didn't know why the so-called secret team was sacrificed as a bargaining chip, but from what Tagore just said, he understood why the CIA wanted to find Tom?
Through Tom, not only can the set goal be achieved, but also the Thai policeman Shanying can be bitten.

A Thai policeman played a dishonorable role in this matter, which would give the United States an opportunity to make trouble...

Using the two reasons of "hate crime" and "distrust of Thai police", the United States can take advantage of the unstable political situation in Thailand after the coup to put pressure on the new prime minister to send those American soldiers who are still stranded in the hospital back to the United States for investigation.

All political confrontations require a 'legitimate cause'!
Kate's attempt to cause trouble for Mountain Eagle is simply providing political ammunition to American politicians.

Let them use their advantageous position and some preferential conditions to force the new Thai Prime Minister to abandon the accusation that the US military is involved in human trafficking, or at least let him hand over the power of investigation to the United States.

Kate made two dishes with one fish, which was a good idea!

But she probably never thought that a third party would intervene and pretend to be Asabaev to organize this attack. After thinking this through, Shanying looked at Kate and sneered, "If Sabaya is one of yours, he should be happy to admit this attack, and his status in the organization will definitely be improved.

You have already sacrificed a team of people, so you certainly don't mind sacrificing more, right?"

Kate looked at the 'nonsense' Shanying coldly and said in a deep voice: "The hostages in the small building are all outstanding British and American public servants. The death of any one of them is a huge loss for us.

As the security adviser of the U.S. Embassy in Thailand, I have the obligation to remind you that you must ensure the safety of the hostages, otherwise you will need to bear all the consequences. "

Kate looked at Tagore with a gloomy expression and said, "Sir, you are the one who needs to be responsible here, and you are the one who will bear the consequences.

I think you should let Officer Yueshan leave and not let him influence your judgment."

Tagore also realized the problem at this time. Kate's completely different attitude towards the previous group of people who died and the current people showed that this attack was beyond her plan.

Seeing Kate still looking arrogant at this time, Tagore said in a deep voice: "This is Thailand, we don't negotiate with terrorists!
So unless you have a better solution, please get out of here!"

Tagore glanced at the ambulance that was dragging away several wounded people, and said to Kate, who looked grim: "Regarding the case of the murder of 18 American citizens, I announce that the Thai police have officially intervened in the investigation.

I need you to provide their identities as requested and hand over the bodies to the Thai police for forensic identification.

If you don't agree, I will expose your 'poison pill plan' to the media..."

Kate said with an unpleasant expression: “You will regret this!

As a country that has been attacked, do you think that exposing Sabaya's cooperation with us will really convince the Asabaev organization?
You thought you were the only one who tried this?
Can we make those terrorist organizations kill each other by telling them that their leaders are our informants?

NO, you have no evidence!

Doing this will only encourage Sabaya to continue attacking Thailand in order to prove his position.

You should know what the Asabaev organization has done. Do you think the Thai tourism industry, which has just undergone a coup, can really withstand their retaliation?"

Shanying looked at Tagore's ugly expression, and he suddenly smiled and said, "In this case, why don't we wait a while?
The terrorists in the house made an impossible request. I don't know about you, but I think they are stalling for time.

Let's guess what they are doing in there?"

Shanying glanced at Tagore and said, counting on his fingers, "The nearby signals should be blocked and the telephone lines should be cut off, so they should not be able to contact the outside world.

If the water and electricity are cut off, the terrorists in the small building will be very miserable given the temperature in Thailand.

Are they deliberately delaying time because they hope their accomplices outside can find a way to help them escape, or do they want to get something here but need enough time?

In my opinion, these people are using the identity of the Asabaev organization to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Asabaev organization and get what they want.

What does the Joint Investigation Team have that is worth the risk?"

While Shanying was talking, Tagore suddenly walked aside with an embarrassed look on his face, picked up the radio and whispered a few words...

At the same time, Kate's eyes were confused for a moment, then her face suddenly changed. She took out her phone, walked aside and started dialing.

At the same time, a strange phone call came to Shanying's cell phone...

Before Shanying could speak after the call was connected, he heard a familiar voice on the other end, saying, "Don't talk, listen to me...

The attack was launched by members of the 'Boatman Gang'!
This is an act of revenge!
The terrorists pretended to be Asabaev and organized the operation because they destroyed a "boatman gang" base in Krabi and destroyed their Thai branch.

Now they are planning to hijack a cruise ship in the waters near Phuket and use the tourists on board as bargaining chips.

You have three to four hours left..."

"why?"

As soon as Shanying asked "why", the other party hung up the phone!

Thinking about the news he had received, Shanying pinched his nose hard, then walked to Tagore and whispered a few words...

When Tagore heard this, he stared in disbelief and said, "Are those people crazy? Is your information reliable?"

Shanying spread his hands helplessly and said: "I'm not sure if it's true, but do you dare to bet?
Once the 'Boatmen' hijack the cruise ship, you will no longer have the initiative!"

As he spoke, Shanying looked coldly in the direction of the small building and said in a deep voice: "I think this news is credible!

But I don't believe that the "Boatman Gang" would take such a big risk simply to retaliate against the Asabaev Organization.

Inform your parents to send more forces to protect the people related to you, and find me a plane that is convenient for parachuting...

I don't want to let those sons of bitches leave...

You surround this place, and I will find a way to deal with those who are planning to hijack the cruise ship!"

Tagore said with a tangled expression: "How can you do it alone?"

Shanying took out his phone and shook it, saying, "You arrange the plane, I'll find some temporary workers who are not afraid of death!"
