In another office, a task force was also working frantically.
However, they were not investigating the Min Ziqiong case, but the recently occurred warehouse fire.
This case had not yet gained widespread attention due to its lower profile compared to the Min Ziqiong case.
But it was only a matter of time before it became a national hot topic.
Because even some members of the task force, with decades of experience, had never seen such a major case!
The death toll exceeded one hundred!
Numerous personal belongings of socialites were discovered at the scene.
Most importantly, there was wreckage of a helicopter at the scene!
This case was like a standard movie script. The task force members' first thought was of the Hulk rampaging and crushing a group of socialites who opposed him in a warehouse.
But, did the Hulk exist in this world?
No!
Therefore, the task force members were completely baffled.
They couldn't figure out how so many people had died, or how a helicopter had appeared at the scene.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door to the task force office was forcefully pushed open.
A swaggering man in glasses walked in.
As soon as he entered, the man in glasses spoke fluent English: "Who is in charge?"
The task force members were taken aback, and after a while, someone retorted: "Who are you? What are you here for?"
The man in glasses did not answer. Instead, he took a document from his briefcase and slapped it onto the table.
"See for yourself."
Picking up the document, the task force members realized that the man in glasses, despite looking like a Dragon Countryman, was actually a yellow-skinned, white-hearted "banana man"!
The man in glasses had long since gone abroad and become a legal consultant for a major corporation.
This time, he was here to handle matters on behalf of the giant corporation!
And the company he represented was Eden Garden Laboratories!
After understanding the man in glasses' identity, the task force members became a little more polite and asked: "Then what are your specific demands? As long as it doesn't involve the case, we will try our best to satisfy them."
The man in glasses snorted coldly: "Alright, what time is it? Still pretending? You Dragon Countrymen always like to deceive those above and cheat those below, thinking you can hide it from everyone. Little do you know, there's no airtight wall in this world!"
"Regarding the warehouse fire case in the suburbs of Jianghai, our company has obtained definitive information proving that our Life Sciences Division leader, Mr. Wayne, perished in this fire!"
"I am now representing Eden Garden Laboratories and demanding an explanation from you!"
"This must have been a premeditated murder! Perhaps it was done by one of our competitors! The perpetrators must be severely punished!"
Hearing the man in glasses' words, the task force leader's face instantly turned grim.
They had only recently confirmed Wayne's identity.
They had not yet confirmed the identity of the other foreigner in the helicopter.
Therefore, they had not officially reported it.
They didn't expect it to have reached the man in glasses so quickly!
This meant there was a mole among them!
The task force leader scanned the room coldly, temporarily abandoning the idea of finding the mole.
It was more important to deal with the man in glasses for now.
"We understand your suspicion. However, everything requires evidence. Until sufficient evidence is found, we will absolutely not jump to conclusions."
"Also, we are very sorry for Mr. Wayne's death. However, the case is still under investigation and confidentiality protocols. It is inconvenient for us to discuss it with you further."
"Please leave your phone number, and we will notify you immediately once there is any progress."
The task force leader was quite skilled at evasion, intending to dismiss the man in glasses with a few words.
But the man in glasses was clearly unfazed. He sneered repeatedly: "As the victim's lawyer, I have the right to be informed of the case details. If you insist on forcing me to leave, then don't blame me for leaking this matter to the media and showing the world the true face of your Dragon Country police!"
"Although your true face has never been that great."
These words immediately infuriated the entire task force.
However, no one dared to make a move.
Because any physical action would indeed cause international repercussions and turn it into major negative news!
Seeing the task force at a disadvantage, the man in glasses became even more arrogant: "Fine, I won't waste any more time with you. Let me be blunt! Our company has long identified the culprit, and it is your Min Ziqiong from Jianghai! No one else would have targeted Mr. Wayne!"
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and interrogate Min Ziqiong, convict her as soon as possible, and bring justice to Mr. Wayne?"
A flicker of anger welled up in the task force leader's eyes.
Was the man in glasses telling him how to do his job?
However, given the man in glasses' identity, the leader suppressed his anger and patiently explained: "Min Ziqiong was summoned long ago and has been at the police station. She could not have had the opportunity to commit the crime. Even if she instigated it secretly, it would take time for investigation and evidence collection. We cannot arrest her based on your mere conjecture. Therefore..."
Before the leader could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the man in glasses: "Heh heh, I expected this attitude from you. It's fine, you can maintain your attitude, but I'll give you an ultimatum: if Min Ziqiong is not arrested before dawn, you will pay a heavy price!"
With that, the man in glasses began making phone calls.
His words were directed at various world-renowned news media outlets!
Clearly, the man in glasses intended to expose the matter after dawn!
The leader panicked.
If it were truly exposed, in the face of these powerful corporations that controlled public opinion, they could imagine what clowns they would become.
Not only them, but the image of the entire Dragon Country would suffer a fatal blow!
Just as the leader was at a loss, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
At the same time, a voice said: "Old Liao, I have a situation that might be related to your team's case. If it's confirmed, we'll need to consolidate the cases."
Then the door was pushed open, and it was none other than the leader of the Min Ziqiong case task force!
The team leader entered, paused slightly upon seeing the man in glasses, but didn't think much of it, and walked directly towards the person in charge named Old Liao.
Old Liao instinctively took the case file from the team leader. He thought it was something else, but as he read through it, his eyes lit up!
Then Old Liao looked at the team leader: "Is it reliable?"
The team leader nodded: "Reliable!"
Old Liao gave the team leader a fierce bear hug: "Good heavens, you've helped me out a lot this time!"
"But consolidating the cases can wait, let me slap someone's face first!"
The team leader felt confused and was about to ask whose face he was going to slap.
Just then, Old Liao strode towards the man in glasses.
The man in glasses thought Old Liao had backed down and said with his head held high: "What? Have you changed your mind? If you have, then get to work! Arrest Min Ziqiong immediately!"
Unexpectedly, Old Liao sneered, suddenly grabbed the man in glasses' arm, and twisted it behind his back, pinning him to the ground!
The man in glasses was terrified and repeatedly threatened: "What are you doing? This is illegal! I'm going to report you! I'll ruin your career and send you to jail!"
Old Liao's voice was chilling: "Report me? We'll see if you get the chance!"
"Someone, get the handcuffs! This person is suspected of being an accomplice to the murderer Wayne! Arrest him immediately!"
