Chapter 449: Investigation
The monkey pondered for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, but you must tell your people to be careful and not alarm the other party."
He also knew that his injuries made it impossible for him to do this, and he hadn't slept a wink since arriving at the Sun Never Sets the day before yesterday. Going now might even cause delays.
Peng Te agreed solemnly, then went out and called two of his more clever men to go and check it out, and gave them detailed instructions on what they needed to pay attention to.
The monkey lying on the bed found that he couldn't fall asleep at all. Once he closed his eyes, Tang Shuo's figure would automatically appear in his mind.
After tossing and turning for a while, the monkey was about to sit up when he saw Peng Te rushing in from the door with a newspaper in his hand. He opened his mouth and said directly: "Karl is dead!"
The monkey was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "What happened? How could he die?"
Naturally, he didn't have any good feelings towards Carl. If the opportunity was right, he wouldn't mind killing him with his own hands.
But if something happens to Karl now, it will disrupt his plan to rescue Tang Shuo.
Monkey had already learned yesterday that the Lawrence family had expelled Carl. He then planned to go to Carl's former estate to check. If he couldn't find any clues there, then he would have to start with Carl himself.
I just don't know why the other party would die at this time.
Could it be Tang Shuo who did it?
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he suppressed it.
It's not that he thought Tang Shuo couldn't do it, but judging by Tang Shuo's situation at the time, it didn't seem like there was such a chance. Monkey didn't think Carl would make the same mistake twice.
Pent handed the newspaper to Monkey and immediately said, "He was shot by his own bodyguards in the Wobru Church. It seems that it was because of money."
Monkey looked at the picture in the newspaper and saw Carl, slumped over by the car with his head tilted sideways. There was a horrific wound on his back, and his hand had been brutally severed. Although the photo had been edited, the man's death was still incredibly gruesome. Yazajidi.
After the monkey finished reading the description at the bottom of the newspaper, he immediately stood up and said, "Take me to the manor!"
"But……"
Before Peng Te could finish his words, he was interrupted by the monkey. He said in a very firm tone: "I have to go now."
Carl's death meant that he only had one clue left, and Monkey couldn't wait to go and confirm it in person.
After seeing the look in Monkey's eyes, Pengte gave up the intention of continuing to dissuade him. After agreeing, he immediately went out to help Monkey arrange a car.
…
Suburban estate.
Pent had already made arrangements in advance, so when he and Monkey arrived, a bald younger brother whom he had arranged to come earlier was already waiting near the manor.
The bald younger brother was very considerate and helped Peng La open the car door. He immediately said, "Big brother."
Peng Te nodded and immediately asked, "What's the situation inside now?"
"It seems like there's no one inside now!" the bald younger brother replied, "When we came here, two Filipino maids just left. Then there was no one in the manor. It looks like the owner is planning to sell it."
After hearing the bald boy's answer, the already deep wrinkles on Monkey's forehead became even deeper.
It is easy to understand why the Lawrence family would sell the manor, but is Tang Shuo still in the manor?
Or has he been transferred to another place by Carl, or has he unfortunately died?
Pent glanced at the monkey and then asked, "Where's Barry?"
"He just went in to check on the situation inside." The bald younger brother replied, "He should be coming out soon."
Peng Te nodded, then turned his gaze back to the monkey, waiting for his opinion.
The monkey pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait until that person comes out!"
"Yes." Peng Te agreed and said to the bald boy, "Where did he come out from? Take us there."
He knew that Monkey must be very anxious now, and he was also a little worried about Tang Shuo's condition, so he didn't take it lightly and directly let Barry take the two of them over.
"Follow me." Barry responded immediately.
Leading Monkey and Pengte to the backyard wall of the manor, the bald younger brother pointed to the banyan tree branches sticking out from the backyard above everyone's heads and said, "This is it."
Peng Te nodded, and when he saw that the monkey had no objection, he fell silent.
The bald younger brother seemed to be affected by the strange atmosphere between the three people and did not dare to say anything carelessly.
After a while, a man wearing the same tight leather jacket as Peng Te appeared on the wall. He seemed a little surprised by Peng Te's arrival, and finally jumped down from the wall after being reminded by the bald boy.
"Big brother." The young man in leather jacket immediately greeted Pente.
Pent hummed, then immediately asked, "Barry, what's going on in there?"
Barry, the young man in the leather jacket, shook his head and replied, "I don't know either, but there's only one old gardener in the manor right now, and he should be looking after it."
"Have you searched carefully?" The monkey, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Barry nodded and said, "I walked around the building and didn't see anyone."
Although Monkey believed Barry's answer to some extent, he was still a little worried because he had not confirmed it personally.
The monkey said to Pent with a worried look on his face, "I want to go and see for myself."
Peng Te did not stop him this time. He nodded and said, "I'll go in with you."
Now that it has been confirmed that there is no one in the manor, Pent's courage is inevitably a little greater.
With the help of several other people, Monkey climbed over the wall. He first arranged for his bald younger brother to knock out the old gardener who was guarding the manor, and then everyone started searching from the beginning.
The results of the search were almost the same as Barry said, and everyone found nothing upstairs.
Arriving at the only remaining wine cellar, Monkey put his hand on the wooden door, but immediately withdrew it and turned to Pente and said, "You open it!"
After saying that, the monkey took two steps back and gave his position to Pente.
Pent knew what the other party was really worried about. He nodded and walked straight forward and pushed open the wooden door of the wine cellar.
The wine cellar was very large, but there was nothing in it. After taking a look, Pent shook his head slightly at the monkey.
Monkey had actually guessed this result a long time ago, but after seeing Pent's reaction, he still couldn't hide his disappointment.
Judging from the layout of the entire manor, the wine cellar is actually the most suitable place for people to hide. Monkey hesitated and said to Pengte, "Go in and take a look."
Peng Te walked into the wine cellar as he was told. As soon as he entered, he exclaimed and pointed to the ground not far away and said, "Look!"
The monkey looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw a large area on the ground that was much darker than the surrounding floor. The monkey walked over and wiped the ground with his hand. When he looked up, he clenched his fist tightly.
There was no doubt that the bloodstains on the ground were bloodstains, and according to the monkey's own judgment, the bloodstains should have been formed within about two days.
Judging from the viscosity and area of the blood on the floor, if all this blood came from one person, there would be no way that person would be able to hold on.
The time and place all matched. Although everything indicated that the bloodstains came from Tang Shuo's body, Monkey still held on to a glimmer of hope.
"Here's a cell phone." Barry, who followed Monkey and Pent in, picked up a cell phone from the ground and said.
The monkey said hurriedly, "Let me see."
Barry immediately stepped forward and handed the phone he had just picked up to the monkey.
Monkey turned on his turned-off phone. When he saw the wallpaper on the lock screen, he froze in place as if struck by lightning, his mind going blank.
The wallpaper of the phone is a smiling mixed-race little girl, and Monkey happens to know the girl's name.
The monkey now has no time to think about other things. He really can't accept this result.
