Chapter 236: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice



Although in free America, it is normal for people to set off a couple of firecrackers every day to liven up the atmosphere.

But the noise of firecrackers tonight was so loud that many veterans who had retired from the battlefield couldn't figure out whether they had returned to the front line or the Germans had invaded New York.

Reporters swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

For a while, the whole street was blocked by people.

The target that was supposed to be attacked was now quietly protected by a group of guards. They changed into the vehicle that the Global Group had dispatched overnight and merged silently into the traffic flow.

"My dear, those people..."

Lilith's trembling voice sounded in Fang Lang's ears.

Fang Lang knew who those people she was referring to. Perhaps, at this moment, in Lilith's mind, she would think that Fang Lang was a little cruel.

Even though he knew there was an ambush ahead, he still found someone to replace him and others and entered the enemy's ambush circle.

...

...

Patted Lilith on the shoulder.

“These people were found by the FBI themselves, and we have no way of knowing their identities.

But their sacrifice was not in vain.”

This cannot be blamed on Fang Lang for being cold-blooded, as it was he who came up with the plan to lure the enemy into action.

However, the person who actually implemented the plan was someone appointed by Jefferson of Shatta Company.

The price Fang Lang paid was one hundred thousand U.S. dollars. As for who would eventually get the money, he didn't care.

His requirement was that the FBI must find the mastermind behind the scenes, rather than the scapegoat in the open.

If the specific identity information of the mastermind behind the scenes can be found, Fang Lang will take out another $100,000.

This is the advantage of a capitalist country. As long as you have money, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

If so, it means you didn't pay enough.

Originally, Fang Lang was not familiar with the US law enforcement agencies, so it was definitely inappropriate to ask Morgan for help for such a small matter.

This time let your partners underestimate your strength.

The only person in his hands who might be familiar with these law enforcement agencies is Mr. Jefferson, the general manager of Shata Company.

Things turned out just as Fang Lang had expected. When Fang Lang called Jefferson, the other party directly told Fang Lang that he only needed to pay attention to his own safety and not to worry about other things.

I thought Jefferson would arrange for the police to take over.

It was not until the other party arrived that Fang Lang realized that they were from the FBI.

Sure enough, anyone who can be elected by so many powerful shareholders to serve as the general manager of an arms company is not a simple person.

This kind of all-encompassing ability made Fang Lang look up to him.

“So can these people who want to attack you be caught?

There won’t be a next time! ”

It seems that Fang Lang is more important in Lilith's heart, and she didn't feel sad for too long because of a group of innocent people who took the blame for her.

Rubbing Lilith's head, Fang Lang said with a smile:

“I don’t know if there will be a next time.

But the people who launched the attack this time should not have an easy time."

If the police simply carried out the arrest operation based on Fang Lang's suspicion of the target, not to mention whether they could catch him, even if they caught the ambushers, the effect would not be very good.

However, the huge impact of following the opponent's script now is simply incomparable to directly arresting people.

As to why the FBI was willing to carry out Fang Lang's plan, Fang Lang believed that the money was only part of the reason.

More importantly, the greater the impact of this incident, the more benefits you will gain after solving the case, and the greater the credit you will gain.

Compared to catching a few gunmen who attempted assassinations, the merit of uncovering a serious terrorist attack and arresting all the murderers is greater, and there is almost no need to choose.

What's more, the target of the attack was an officer from a friendly country who came to the United States to purchase arms. The impact of this incident will be further amplified.

And solving this case required no effort at all.

Because the target already knew who was going to attack him, and even informed the FBI clearly of the time, place and nature of the action.

In this situation, if the FBI still cannot find out the mastermind behind the incident, then there is no need for this unit to exist, and their direct disbanding is their rightful destination.

The question Fang Lang is thinking about now is how the enemy knows his whereabouts.

If he was being followed the entire time, Fang Lang didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find out.

It was not difficult to find out which hotel he stayed in, but not many people knew that he had dinner with Mr. Morgan today.

The person in charge of making the appointment with Mr. Morgan was his assistant, Ophelia Berg, so it was unlikely that the news would be leaked from her.

The possibility of a leak from Mr. Morgan is also low.

Since the person who took the blame for this incident was Little Richfield, then the person who leaked Fang Lang's whereabouts must be related to Richfield.

This is not to say that Little Richfield has such great abilities and connections.

Rather, if he is to take the blame, the clues must be related to him, and only then will the chain of evidence be complete.

As for whether the other party has other clues to obtain their whereabouts, it doesn’t matter. What they want to use must be clues that are related to Little Richfield.

The only people around him who had a connection with Little Richfield were a few people from the original Richfield Company.

The most likely ones are the three people named Reyer who came to visit him at the company.

Thinking of this, Fang Lang felt relieved.

My mood gradually relaxed. No matter what happens, the most frightening thing is the unknown.

Once your mind is entangled with things that you can't understand, it becomes difficult to think clearly and it's hard to relax.

As long as you figure it out in your mind, you will naturally feel relaxed.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when FBI agents came to the hotel to take Fang Lang's statement, Fang Lang told them his suspected target and ignored them.

This incident caused a huge commotion, according to what Jefferson later reported to Fang Lang.

The FBI quickly found the mastermind behind this incident - the Japanese Black Dragon Society.

At first, the Black Dragon Society refused to admit that they had anything to do with the matter because all the evidence pointed to Richfield and had nothing to do with the Japanese.

The killer was from Little Richfield's hometown, Texas. The person who provided the killer with Fang Lang's whereabouts was Zuel Swan, who was originally in charge of logistics and equipment management at Richfield Company.

As for the motive for the murder, it is obvious, and there is no need to investigate the conflict between the two people.

According to the confession of the surviving killer, the boss who paid the money was also Richfield Jr.

No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with the Japanese.

And Richfield, the only person who could link this incident to the Japanese, has disappeared without a trace.

If it wasn't known from the beginning that little Richfield had disappeared on Japanese territory, no one would have thought that this incident was planned by the Japanese.

Now that there is a target of suspicion, all the evidence that seems to be flawless becomes less credible.

The FBI is very motivated to get paid to do things, and more importantly, the impact of this incident is huge.

If it was really an American who launched the assassination of an officer of a friendly country, it would also cause some diplomatic troubles for the US government.

But if it was Japan, the defeated country, that organized and planned this action.

This will allow the United States to avoid these troubles.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the FBI needs to clarify the relationship between this matter and Japan.

When a powerful sovereign state wants to seriously investigate the whole story of an incident, it is impossible to hide it.

Because, as long as the Japanese are involved, there will be traces left.

Soon, the New York head of the Black Dragon Society and all its members were arrested.

The truth became clear when his men confessed where Little Richfield was hiding.

However, when the FBI found Richfield Jr., he was already a cold corpse.

Based on the confessions of his men, the Black Dragon Society's New York chief had to confess that the attack was a retaliation for Fang Lang's arson in Japan.

The Sumitomo family did not appear at all during the entire process.

Because there was no way the Japanese would let the Americans know that they were hiding the treasure.

If the Americans knew that Fang Lang had stolen the treasure from the Sumitomo family, it is hard to say whether the Americans would go looking for Fang Lang to get it back.

Several other major conglomerates alone would inevitably be implicated, and it would be very likely that their treasures would be found by the Americans, a consequence that the Japanese absolutely could not accept.

The Americans simply scoffed at the Black Dragon Society's accusation that Fang Lang had committed arson in Japan.

Compared to the Japanese suspicions without evidence, the Americans believed the evidence found by the US occupation forces at the attack site more.

The Japanese's act of retaliation against Japanese occupation officers caused strong dissatisfaction in the United States.

With the funding of a certain capitalist, many retired American soldiers and civilians were organized and held protest demonstrations for several consecutive days, expressing their desire for severe punishment for the Japanese who started the war.

They also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the tolerance shown by the Japanese Emperor MacArthur on the Japanese issue, and once called for MacArthur to step down.

The US government was forced to increase penalties for those who launched the attacks.

Even MacArthur in Japan had to tighten the management authority that had just been delegated to the Japanese government.

Of course, when these subsequent events happened, Fang Lang had already left the United States and returned to Brazil with the aircraft carrier advisory team formed by General Clark.

He began to build the crew organizational structure of his first aircraft carrier.

Since the US aircraft carrier advisory group has arrived in Brazil, the Brazilian Navy, as the host country, must of course express its welcome.

So when Fang Lang and others arrived at the Natal Naval Base by plane, General Crook, Chief of Staff of the Brazilian Navy, was already waiting to greet them at the airport.

The welcoming ceremony was held with great ceremony. After all, the head of the advisory group was a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral. After Fang Lang made a brief introduction to both parties, he quietly stepped behind the scenes.

After all, Fang Lang has already gotten the biggest benefit, so there is no need to compete with the Chief of Staff for the limelight.

As the chief of staff of the naval base, De La Torre followed Fang Lang to report on the latest situation of the base.

“Boss, the Army Department recently transferred over 2,000 soldiers here, and Duarte is already organizing training.

His rank is at most a regimental commander, but now the Navy Department has directly upgraded the organization of our Marine Corps to a brigade.

Could it be that someone has set their sights on the position of brigade commander?"

Hearing De La Torre's words, Fang Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at the Chief of Naval Staff who was chatting with General Clark not far away.
