Chapter 1594 Make Him Happy
Why is that middle-aged man in a suit so anxious?
The CIA headquarters has been attacked by a virus! This is a major event! Even the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have put aside their differences and joined forces to investigate the case.
The combined capabilities of these two departments should not be underestimated. They soon learned about the 'Sculpin's Fish' and how Kevin Ishii had taken action against Xiao Peng to ensure the safety of the 'Sculpin's Fish'.
Xiao Peng happened to be in Houston at Vincent's invitation, and Kevin Ishii had met Xiao Peng before the incident. Of course, this matter had to be investigated.
Of course, they could only investigate secretly—after all, Langley's attack by an unknown virus was a top secret. Furthermore, Xiao Peng had recently gained immense popularity in Houston, and arresting him without evidence would be incredibly troublesome. Their solution was to get Vincent to cooperate: after all, he was the one who had found the man.
Vincent is also an "old hand". When he learned that something happened to Langley, he immediately told the investigators that Xiao Peng knew that Kevin Ishii wanted to kill him. This was also because Kevin Ishii found Vincent and instructed him to do so after he knew that Vincent and Xiao Peng had a personal relationship. The purpose was to let Xiao Peng come to the United States so that Kevin Ishii could better investigate whether Xiao Peng was related to the disappearance of "Sculpin Fish".
As for why no one else knew about this, Kevin Ishii explained that the matter, involving sculpin, was highly confidential, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Furthermore, Xiao Peng was an internationally renowned billionaire with deep ties to various European countries. A rash move against him could easily cause unnecessary trouble, so he conducted his investigation in secret. This was how he disguised himself as Ono Akihiko's translator to approach Xiao Peng.
Vincent understood what he was thinking—after all, Kevin Ishii was dead, so there was no evidence. He could say anything he wanted: "Yes, I gave you the information, but it was Kevin Ishii who told you to do it. If you don't believe me, go find Kevin Ishii! Oh? He's dead? Then there's nothing I can do..."
It has to be said that Vincent's image as a "patriotic businessman" was quite good. WWE would go to various military camps to perform consolation shows whenever they had nothing to do, so the investigators ruled out Vincent's suspicion, but the suspicion of Xiao Peng had not been ruled out, so they asked Vincent to assist in the investigation of Xiao Peng.
Vincent couldn't refuse this, nor did he want to refuse: if he could really prove that Xiao Peng did it, it would be a godsend for him, allowing him to further enhance his fame and shape his image as a "patriotic businessman"!
As for Xiao Peng's life or death?
Who cares? A friend's death is better than mine. How can there be so much friendship in this world? You could even say he's the one who most wants Xiao Peng to admit he did it! So, upon meeting him, he confronted Xiao Peng about whether he was the culprit behind the massacre at the Langley CIA headquarters. He now has a tiny communication device protruding from his ear canal, constantly receiving commands from outsiders, specifically to investigate whether Xiao Peng had any connection to the Langley massacre.
It's a pity that Xiao Peng didn't know about this at all. But it's okay this way. If it was really Xiao Peng who did it, even though Lang Li is dead, he still has to bear some responsibility.
Just when Vincent thought everything was over, Xiao Peng suddenly revealed some shocking information about towed sonar.
Xiao Peng acted as if he had no idea where this towed sonar came from, but the investigators who heard the news were stunned: A towed sonar on a submarine? And it came from their country? It couldn't be from the Sculptor, right? Had the Sculptor collided with someone on the seabed? So where exactly was the Sculptor? They had to find out!
Who knows the coordinates? Xiao Peng and the client country behind him know.
After all, the thing that was smashed in two was a strategic nuclear submarine! It's a national weapon! No country would let a strategic nuclear submarine sink. Although Xiao Peng said that "there are only a few countries with strategic nuclear submarines," the one that was directly smashed in two must be a small strategic nuclear submarine. Add in Xiao Peng's roaming around Europe, and the answer is obvious: it's either Britain or France.
Both Britain and France are very important strategic partners to the US. If such an incident leads to an irreconcilable conflict, it will be troublesome.
But fortunately, according to Xiao Peng, the wreckage of the towed sonar has not yet been handed over to the client country. Now the client country does not know that this matter came from the Americans, so there is still time to mediate this matter.
But from what Xiao Peng said, it seems many countries are eyeing this coordinate: the only country capable of ramming a strategic nuclear submarine in two is a larger strategic nuclear submarine. The only countries in the world capable of this are likely the top three. Regardless of which country it is, if they can obtain their strategic nuclear submarine technology, they will be extremely advanced!
So no matter what the reason, this coordinate must be obtained!
Now, let alone killing Xiao Peng, we have to make him happy! We need to report this important information to the higher-ups immediately so they can make the final decision!
Vincent then received a new order: "The questioning of Xiao Peng is over. Go ahead and have fun. Let him have some fun."
Vincent was also confused: "Make him happy?" What kind of instruction is that? Can someone tell me what to do? At my age, should I help him pick up the soap?
Fortunately, Xiao Peng spoke first at this time: "Vincent, I went to Sugar Land today. I'm not bragging, but the barbecue at Sugar Land Mayor Charles's house is amazing. When I came back, they prepared a lot for me. Let's have a couple of drinks!"
Vincent laughed and said, "Is it as exaggerated as you say? I've eaten a lot of delicious Texas barbecue."
Xiao Peng shouted directly, "Van der Laupe, heat up the barbecue we brought back today, and prepare some more beer so Vincent and I can have a good drink!"
He had just finished speaking when he saw Bruch knock on the door and walk in: "Boss, our house is sending out strange radio waves again!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said to Vincent, "Vincent, those paparazzi here in America are terrible. They're using all sorts of tricks, and they even dare to come in and install eavesdropping devices. Bruch has already found several of them. Let's go to the restaurant and have Bruch investigate!"
Vincent hurriedly said, "Xiao, go down first. I'll change into something more comfortable."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Did you bring other clothes?"
Vincent laughed awkwardly and said, "Xiao, I used to see you drinking in pajamas all the time. I used to think it was so unpresentable, but after I came back and tried it a few times, I found it very comfortable. So now I've learned from you. Miss Vanderlaupe, can you help me find a clean pair of pajamas? We're going to drink until we're drunk tonight, and I'll stay here!"
"Welcome! I'll wait for you downstairs!" Xiao Peng said.
When Vincent saw Xiao Peng go out, he took out the micro communication device from his ear canal and flushed it down the toilet - he couldn't let Xiao Peng suspect him!
