North American Detective: I am Proficient in All Kinds of Gun Quick Draws-Chapter 630 - 350 Truth and Temptation_3
The case ultimately ended with Qian Mengmeng receiving warnings from both the police and the school.
The next day, Qian Mengmeng committed suicide in her dorm.
Speaking of Qian Mengmeng's suicide, Leia was furious. "Those bastards! They didn't even arrange a physical exam for this poor girl. After this case is closed, I will definitely not let those bastard students and the trash at the police department off the hook!"
"Calm down, Agent Leia," Dean said, somewhat irritably tugging at the tie on his chest. "You're getting sidetracked. What happened next? Was the suspect one of Qian Mengmeng's relatives? A lover?"
Although he was a scumbag, the tragic fate of his compatriot still moved him somewhat.
"Her brother!"
Leia took a couple of deep breaths to suppress her sympathy for the victim. Her voice heavy, she said, "I checked the family information on Qian Mengmeng's profile and discovered that there was something suspicious about her brother's identity."
"What kind of problem?"
"His name is Qian Feng. He's of Chinese descent from Vietnam and also the boss of a gang there. The issue is, the FBI's intelligence support rarely flags leaders of such minor foreign gangs, as that's typically CIA work. This made me realize there was something suspicious about his identity. So, I reported the situation to Agent Kames, who has higher clearance."
Agent Kames was the senior agent mentoring Leia, the newcomer. However, to ensure absolute control over the case, Dean had used Old Hunter to send Kames to the hospital when Kames tried to take over.
Dean licked his somewhat dry lips. "What did Agent Kames find out?"
"...I don't know," Leia said over the phone, her voice tinged with anger. "The person who flagged Qian Feng's information was the previous division head, but he's already dead. Agent Kames couldn't find out why Qian Feng was being monitored. However, Agent Kames mentioned that the former head was one of Saul S.'s people, secretly working for him. I suspect this Qian Feng is connected to Saul, and they're trying to use a high-profile case to oust Agent Kames!"
Dean was speechless. You're quite the master of logic!
However, after hearing Leia's account, Dean had a general understanding of how things had unfolded. The sequence of events probably went something like this:
Because of what happened to his sister, Qian Feng smuggled himself from Vietnam to the United States. He investigated all the way, eventually finding that consulting company called Eden. From them, he learned about those filthy industry chains. His sister was one of the victims. Enraged, he then went on to kill everyone involved in that chain, one by one.
Suddenly, a thought struck Dean. Qian Mengmeng was a student at XX University. And Qian Feng is a Vietnamese of Chinese ethnicity... There are quite a few pro-American figures in Vietnam, and the number of spies left behind is countless. The Hell's Gate project was actually research into nuclear technology. Its original purpose stemmed from the radicals' ideas concerning that war...
Piece after piece of information flashed through Dean's mind: Jed Cabon secretly joined Hell's Gate and died from nuclear radiation, leading to the neighborhood being abandoned—yet the people still living there were unaffected... Little Mike said someone was secretly sending money to Jed Cabon's wife every month through unofficial international money transfer services...
I get it! Qian Feng is the one sending the money! His identity isn't clear, but he must have a secret connection to Jed Cabon. The goal... is a nuclear bomb!
Dean's eyes narrowed. Due to nuclear treaties, not many countries globally possess nuclear deterrence, and Vietnam isn't one of them. So, Qian Feng is actually an official from Vietnam!
It all makes sense now! A flicker of understanding flashed in Dean's eyes.
That guy Jed Cabon must have secretly developed a nuclear bomb. However, some mishap must have exposed him to radiation, bringing the whole affair to light. After the SWAT team discovered this, they must have searched Jed Cabon's residence and found no clues, which is why they set up an ambush there. Their actions, coupled with Jed Cabon's horrific death, frightened the students in the neighborhood into moving away, leading to its current desolate state. And Qian Feng? He likely came here to retrieve the nuclear bomb Jed Cabon had hidden. But then, because of what happened to his sister... this guy decided to transport the nuclear bomb to the university campus... Someone who would eliminate everyone involved in an entire illicit chain over the death of a loved one is inherently extreme. For a person like that, committing such a crazy act isn't out of character at all. Yes, that explains everything!
Although Little Mike had hidden key information, Dean had still pieced together the truth by supplementing it with information from Leia and clues he'd previously gathered.
Having pieced all this together, Dean fell silent.
Did Little Mike really not find out who was sending money to Jed Cabon's wife? Or did he follow that lead and uncover something else? Suddenly, Dean felt like a complete fool.
"Dean?" Hearing the silence on his end, Agent Leia spoke louder. "You're in command. What should we do now?"
Dean rolled his eyes. Damn it, I'd like to know what to do now too! If Little Mike really knows something, he could easily have predicted the chain reaction following a terrorist attack. Is he testing me?
"Wait for my instructions!" Agitated, Dean impatiently hung up the phone.
