Chapter 255 The Truth Revealed
Chapter 255 The Truth Revealed
The mermaid captain didn't expect Sifos to do this. He was stunned and didn't hold him down. The boss struggled and fell to the ground. His body curled up like a shrimp due to the pain and he groaned in pain.
Sifos pulled out a wet towel and wiped his hands while saying calmly, "Did I ever say that I would let him go if he confessed the truth?"
"With so many disappearances in five years, I don't believe he couldn't think of the connection between the two."
Several people were stunned, then looked at the fallen boss with grim expressions, and the last trace of sympathy in their hearts disappeared.
McQueen had already asked someone to inquire about the identity information associated with this number. After hanging up the phone, he said solemnly, "It's an anonymous number. It only has the address."
Sifos rudely took the laptop from his boss's hand and threw it to McQueen, "Find the remittance records and check the other party's bank account."
McQueen quickly pulled out a series of electronic banking transactions from his computer, which showed that there was basically a large transfer every month, all from the same bank card number.
McQueen copied the string of numbers, but the result he got from the search made him frown: "It's a federal commercial bank, 'First United Financial Corporation'. It's not easy to do, I don't have any connections there."
Hearing this result, Sifos became visibly annoyed. He paced twice in the narrow space, then suddenly turned around and kicked his boss in the abdomen.
This time, the man couldn't even scream. A mouthful of saliva mixed with red blood spurted out of his throat and he curled up even tighter.
The federal government and they are two hostile camps. If it was a state bank or a national bank, it would be fine because they have people infiltrated in it, but the other party chose to use a private bank.
It is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time to temporarily establish connections.
There was no point in staying here any longer. Several people carried the boss to the police car, McQueen deleted the surveillance video in the store, and left with Seaforth.
Time passed quickly and it was night. Today was the night shift for the skinny guy with a hunched back as described by Green.
He pushed a cart of fish in and distributed them to each cage one by one. When he got to one of the cages, he found something wrong.
There was a fish lying on its back, without any movement, and two companions beside it were shouting something anxiously. The thin man recognized it at a glance as the one he had just caught today.
Afraid that the goods would die in his hands, the thin man quickly threw the fish aside, pressed the password, opened the iron door and went in to check.
"Hey! Hey!"
Xu Weiwei opened her eyes hazily after the man's patting. She then looked at the man's face in horror, moved to the side with great effort, and coughed from time to time. She looked very weak.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his colleague had used too large a dose and that there was no danger to his life.
"I thought it was going to fail, you scared me!" The man cursed, stood up, closed the door and went out.
Out of fear, he also threw an extra fish to Xu Weiwei.
"Eat, eat more, and don't die in my hands."
After the man passed by, Xu Weiwei gave both of her fish to the siblings Haisang and Haikui, then looked at Green next door.
He looked absent-minded, staring at nothingness with unfocused eyes.
Xu Weiwei withdrew her gaze.
After a few hours, the man seemed to have the urge to urinate and stood up to go to the toilet.
Green quickly seized the opportunity and swam over to show Xu Weiwei: "His hands are like this, like this, like this..."
"Slow down, let me pair up."
The combination lock has small numbers on the top, arranged in threes, with 0 in the middle at the bottom. Following the direction of this gesture...
“7, 2, 7, 4, 8, 8...! This should be it!” Xu Weiwei said with surprise.
"Huh~~~ I just repeated it over and over in my mind, afraid that I would forget it. Fortunately, it's okay..." Green patted his chest, looking relieved.
“You can try it if you have a chance.”
Seeing the man coming out, they quickly fell silent and retreated back to their respective cages. There was no other opportunity to communicate throughout the night.
She originally wanted to wait until the man fell asleep before taking the risk, but he started playing games after dinner and they played until late at night, and then they fell asleep.
Xu Weiwei was lying on the bed, and the brother and sister were sleeping in a bathtub filled with water. Most of the other mermaids were also sleeping in the bathtub.
She didn't understand why at first, until she lay down on the mattress. It was no exaggeration to say that she felt like it was a mushroom culture dish, with perfect moisture, just missing a handful of spores.
But at least it's a little better than sleeping on the ground.
The next morning, the two handed over their shifts, and the fat man with a face full of flesh became the one distributing breakfast.
Xu Weiwei had been hungry for two meals, but the smell of fishy food made her lose her appetite. So she just lay on the bed without moving, which could also reduce energy loss.
"You really don't want to eat anything?" Haisang leaned over to her bed and asked in a low voice.
Xu Weiwei didn't dare to speak when someone was around, she just waved her hands listlessly. Haisang looked at her worriedly, but there was nothing he could do, he could only pray in his heart that her family would come to find him soon.
After distributing the fish, the fat man washed his hands casually, then sat at the table and started eating the breakfast he brought - a whole roast chicken and a hamburger.
The aroma of oil wafted into Xu Weiwei's nostrils, stimulating her taste buds.
Xu Weiwei turned her head and looked at Green with a look of despair. She could now completely understand why he was so indignant when he mentioned food yesterday.
This fat guy is really annoying. He eats so deliciously early in the morning and smacks his lips...
While we were eating, someone suddenly came in. The leader was a man in his forties, well-dressed and with shiny leather shoes. He was obviously the leader, and behind him were two men and one woman.
One of the men was the tall man who kidnapped Xu Weiwei, and the other man was wearing a black suit, looking like a bodyguard. The only woman was wearing a dark blue business suit, a slim vest, a knee-length skirt, and her hair was neatly tied behind her head, looking professional and capable.
Xu Weiwei was stunned the first time she saw her. Her heart was pounding, and the answer was about to pop out in her mind.
This woman...is the saleswoman who received them in Water City before!
Suddenly, Xu Weiwei felt like a bolt of lightning struck her brain, illuminating all the answers, and everything became clear.
It turns out that Water City is the real mastermind and the culprit behind all this!
That's right... they created such a huge "industry chain" for their own business. And those who carried out the kidnapping were just their minions.
No wonder the scales in their store are of such high quality and they have everything you need.
No wonder…it all makes sense now.
