Chapter 646: The Completely Failed Special ModuleКлючевые словаDice In The DarknessПоделитьсяКомментарии
If Ithaqua is indeed the leader of a Chinese mafia, then the previous incident where Rennes and his two accomplices came to kidnap Miss Wang would make sense.
However, this could be a bit troublesome, as it would mean that Ithaqua has a lot of henchmen, and if we were to confront Ithaqua, we would have to be prepared to face a numerically superior force.
Nevertheless, based on the information provided by Sergei, Elsa’s boyfriend seems to have been lured by the Chinese mafia and become their accomplice. This suggests that Ithaqua has devised a new plan after the previous kidnapping attempt failed, and that plan involves using Elsa to target Miss Wang.
According to Elsa’s previous statement, she and Miss Wang are close friends. So if Ithaqua has control over Elsa’s boyfriend, he could use him to lure Elsa out and then coerce or manipulate her into bringing Miss Wang to a trap that Ithaqua has already prepared.
"By the way, Chris, you may not know this yet, but the identities of the two victims in the shooting incident last night have been revealed. They were both members of the Chinese mafia, so we have reason to suspect that they were planning to do something harmful to Miss Wang, your neighbor, since they were wandering around with guns at that time of night, which is highly unlikely for law-abiding citizens."
Liu Xing nodded, explaining that one of the main reasons why English police officers have a relatively low rate of carrying firearms is that the general public in England also has a low rate of gun ownership. This means that the police officers can feel relatively safe without carrying guns, even though they face a high risk of encountering armed criminals.
In fact, Liu Xing had already felt that something was off about the situation last night, as the two victims who were attacked by the Ghoul were carrying guns, and they were in the vicinity of Miss Wang’s home at a very late hour, which was highly suspicious.
However, since Liu Xing was woken up by the gunshots and Wesker had instructed him not to get involved in the case, he didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. But now, with Sergei’s explanation, Liu Xing is convinced that those two victims were likely planning to do something harmful to Miss Wang, as that would have been the perfect time to strike, when most people were asleep, as evidenced by Leon’s situation last night.
But upon further reflection, Liu Xing has a bold hypothesis that the Ghoul might have actually killed those two victims to protect Miss Wang, as the location where the Ghoul killed them was not on the route to the nearest subway station, but rather on a main street that would have had some traffic even at that late hour.
Therefore, if the Ghoul was one of the members of the family of five, it wouldn’t have chosen that location to feed, as it would be too far from the subway station and there would be a higher risk of being spotted by passersby. Additionally, the Ghoul would have likely only targeted one victim, as it would be easier to conceal its tracks.Given these factors, Liu Xing is starting to suspect that there might be a connection between Miss Wang and the Ghoul.
"If that’s the case, then it’s very likely that Ithaqua was the mastermind behind the previous attempt to kidnap Miss Wang, and he was probably hired by Miss Wang’s own relatives," Leon said, stroking his chin.
Jill nodded in agreement, saying, "I think so too. After all, Chinese people tend to trust other Chinese people, so it’s quite normal for Miss Wang’s relatives to hire the Chinese mafia to deal with her. However, it’s surprising that Ithaqua has already prepared a new plan to use Elsa to target Miss Wang, now that the previous plan has failed. Should we directly tell Elsa about this, so that she can break up with her boyfriend?"
Sergei shook his head and explained, "Although I initially had the same idea as Jill, to directly confront my sister, I’ve been informed that some of our colleagues are already investigating this case and have a plan to arrest Elsa’s boyfriend the next time he contacts the Chinese students. This way, they can catch him red-handed and simultaneously take action against the Chinese mafia. So I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell Elsa directly right now, as it might interfere with the arrest plan, since the mafia’s main reason for contacting Elsa’s boyfriend is likely because of her close relationship with Miss Wang."
"I see. If Elsa were to break up with her boyfriend now, the Chinese mafia might cancel their plan and stop cooperating with him, which would ruin the carefully prepared arrest plan of your colleagues. So, Sergei, you’ve come to us today hoping that we can discreetly keep an eye on Elsa, and let you know if we notice anything unusual, so that you can intervene and prevent her from being led astray, right?" Liu Xing asked.
Sergei smiled and nodded, saying, "Exactly. I’m hoping that you, Chris, can help me keep an eye on Elsa. If you notice anything strange, please contact me immediately, and I’ll try to find a way to stop her from getting involved in this."
Liu Xing shrugged and asked, "Of course, we’ll be happy to help. But Sergei, do you know anything about this Chinese mafia group, like who their leader is?"
Sergei paused for a moment before responding seriously, "The Chinese mafia group is called the Green-Dragon Gang, and they’ve apparently been active in England for over a hundred years. They’re one of the most powerful underground organizations in London, and they have a mysterious relationship with the Wang family, which is Miss Wang’s family. Although we don’t have solid evidence yet, it’s suspected that the Wang family may be funding or even controlling the Green-Dragon Gang."
"The Green-Dragon Gang’s main area of operation is Chinatown, and they’ve managed to maintain a peaceful coexistence with other mafia groups in the London area. However, they’re known to be extremely ruthless, and any other mafia groups that have tried to confront them have been completely wiped out. The Green-Dragon Gang is also very meticulous in their operations, so the police have never been able to gather enough evidence to take them down."
"As for the current leader of the Green-Dragon Gang, he’s a very mysterious figure. He’s been in power for decades, but he’s never made a public appearance. Only the high-ranking elders of the gang are allowed to meet with him, and according to one of them, the leader usually delegates the day-to-day operations to his subordinates, only issuing orders once every few years."
"Of course, it is not easy for a leader who likes to play mysterious to gain the trust of the masses. Therefore, there was once a leader of the Green-Dragon Gang who stood up and caused trouble, believing that the current leader was not qualified to continue leading the Green-Dragon Gang. At first, the current leader did not pay attention to that leader, but the matter naturally became more and more serious. That leader began to contact other leaders, preparing to elect a new leader. Therefore, the current leader finally stood up and directly said that the leader would die soon. As a result, that leader choked to death while eating the next day."
Hearing this, Liu Xing could be sure that the current leader of the Green-Dragon Gang was Ithaqua.
Now the plot of this module is really getting more and more interesting.
"So this time the Green-Dragon Gang is acting against Miss Wang on the instructions of the current leader?" Jill asked.
Sergei nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course. Currently, the undercover agent in our police department has relayed a message that the current leader of the Green-Dragon Gang convened a meeting of the elders and leaders about half a month ago, and the content of the meeting was that he planned to step down as the leader, and the requirement for the new leader was to complete a mission that is very important to the future of the Green-Dragon Gang. Now we can basically confirm that this so-called mission is most likely to kidnap or kill Miss Wang."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "In that case, the current elders and leaders of the Green-Dragon Gang are trying to show off their skills and make a move on Miss Wang, right? No wonder the Green-Dragon Gang has carried out two kidnapping or assassination attempts against Miss Wang in a short period of time, and there is at least one more plan in the planning stage."
At this moment, Wesker walked into the office and said, "Chris, what you said is not correct. The Green-Dragon Gang has already completed three plans that are detrimental to Miss Wang, because Miss Wang just called Chief House, and one of her bodyguards tried to install a time bomb in the building where you live, planning to directly blow up the entire building. Fortunately, a resident noticed something unusual, and the bodyguard with malicious intent was killed on the spot."
"Wow, the Green-Dragon Gang is so ruthless, they actually planned to blow up the entire building? Don’t they know they’re in the London city area? If they really do this, they’ll become terrorists," Leon exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Xing nodded. If the Green-Dragon Gang’s people really blew up the entire building, the London police would immediately define this explosion case as a terrorist attack, after all, the nature of this case is really too heinous.
It has to be said that the person who came up with this plan must be a real ghost, because even if he really killed Miss Wang and became the new leader of the Green-Dragon Gang, the first order he would issue as the leader might be for the Green-Dragon Gang to immediately retreat to the African desert or join the still not-so-cold Uncle Lanting.
In addition, Liu Xing couldn’t help but be relieved that this crazy plan was not successfully implemented, otherwise he might have to pay with his life even if he didn’t accompany Miss Wang.
At this time, Sergei took the opportunity to tell Wesker about his discovery.
After listening, Wesker frowned and said, "If the Green-Dragon Gang really controls Sergei’s sister’s boyfriend, Miss Wang is very likely to be lured into a trap. So even though this matter can be temporarily not told to Sergei’s sister, Leon, you still need to notify Miss Wang first, so that Miss Wang can have an idea."
"No problem, I’ll tell Miss Wang about this later," Leon said immediately.
Wesker nodded and said to Sergei, "Sergei, if you don’t have anything else to do, please leave now, because we need to discuss a confidential case."
Sergei got up and left.
After Sergei left, Wesker continued, "Regarding the shooting incident that occurred last night, we were fortunate enough to find a surveillance video, which shows that the Ghoul last night was very likely not one of that family of five, because according to Mr. Milhaus’s experience, that family of five still needs at least a week to fully transform into Ghouls, while the Ghoul in the surveillance video was already in a complete state, so it should not be related to that family of five. More importantly, the bodies of the two victims were also found in the sewer, and these two bodies did not show any signs of being bitten."
Liu Xing knew that he should have guessed correctly this time.
If nothing goes wrong, Ithaqua really wants to kill Miss Wang this time, because Miss Wang is very likely to have a very close relationship with the Ghoul, and can even be said to be an existence that surpasses ordinary Ghouls, because that Ghoul is obviously here to protect Miss Wang.
As for why Ithaqua would use the Crimson Ghoul statue to scheme against Dio or Locke, it is also because he wants to create a Crimson Ghoul and then use the conflict between the Crimson Ghoul and ordinary Ghouls to kill Miss Wang, while the Green-Dragon Gang’s minions are what Ithaqua uses to divert Miss Wang’s attention... And with Ithaqua’s own combat power, he must not be able to kill Miss Wang himself, after all, the combat power of the Yis People clan is really worrying.
However, Liu Xing is still not clear why Ithaqua is hostile to Miss Wang, because in Liu Xing’s view, Miss Wang and Ithaqua are like wind and cattle, they should have no intersection, and Ithaqua can even use its racial talent to ensure that it will never meet Miss Wang.
So what exactly is Ithaqua trying to do, why does he have to take action to kill Miss Wang at this time point?
