NOVPUBChapter 1300: 589 South Beverley_1 Chapter 1300: 589 South Beverley_1 “If I’m guessing right, your master probably has the same goal as us.”
The man looked at the girl speaking, snorted coldly, “Who has the same goal as you, anyway, Virginia Frost must be handed over to us.”
“Dream on of profiting from our fight,” Kelly Martinez moved her finger to the trigger.
“I’ll say it one last time, confess your plot, or I’ll kill you right now.”
The man seemed not to be threatened at all.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, if you have the guts, pull the trigger.
Aubree Groove stepped out and said, “Kelly, let him go.”
“Aubree Groove?” Kelly Martinez was puzzled.
Aubree Groove shook her head, without explanation, and said to the man, “The three of us together can barely make a tie with you.
But it won’t do more than make us both lose.
I don’t know what your goal is, but you’ve heard the saying, ‘Net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through.'”
The man stared deeply at Aubree Groove, turned, and vanished into the night.
...
He disappeared instantly, like a phantom.
Kelly Martinez chased after him, but found no trace.
“Why did you let him go?
If he’s besetting Virginia Frost, wouldn’t releasing him be like sending a tiger back to the mountain?”
“He isn’t.”, Aubree Groove stated lightly.
“Isn’t what?” Kelly Martinez thought for a while, “How can you be so sure?
What if he is?”
Aubree Groove came back to the car: “Instinct.”
Kelly raised an eyebrow.
Callista’s instinct had always been accurate, so she found no words to refute that.
Jayden Moore spun the stick around, a look of enjoyment still on his face.
“That guy’s movements were elusive, who’s his master?”
Dallyn glanced at him: “You’re truly obsessed with martial arts.”
Even at this point his mind was still focused on the opponent’s moves.
“Ms.
Rinto.” Madon Linggo drove up, “I came as soon as I got the news.
I didn’t expect to still be a step late.”
Aubree Groove glanced at the totalled business car: “Sergeant Linggo, we’ll have to trouble you with the rest.”
“This is my job.” Madon Linggo put on his gloves, and with his partner, began to examine the business car, collecting fingerprints and traces, not missing even a single strand of hair inside the car.
Meanwhile, the eye-in-the-sky system within Pethkids started with its pursuit.
In modern society, no one can escape the all-seeing eye.
Yet strangely, after this person left Romand Road, he vanished from the face of the earth without trace.
The city-wide surveillance system also couldn’t track him.
This suggests that the man has a high anti-tracking awareness and has avoided all cameras on his way.
Kelly Martinez in disbelief asked: “What the heck is his background?”
He slipped in and out freely in Pethkids, a city with tight security, who would believe there were no insiders.
“Sergeant Linggo, isn’t your Pethkids police system a waste, allowing such people to come and go at will.
How can the personal safety of us Pethkids people be guaranteed?”
Madon Linggo wiped his hands with a wet paper towel, his voice deep as he said: “It indeed is our negligence, but Ms.
Martinez can rest assured that we will definitely give you an explanation.”
“Mistress, we’ve got news from the pier,” Dallyn walked over with a cell phone.
The call was from Yapiter.
Just now, a yacht left the Blonu pier.
The Rintos sent people after it, but they lost it after less than a hundred sea miles.
There was no trace of any ships in the sea south of Pethkids.
Yapiter used all the maritime patrol systems under the Rintos.
They found traces of a strange ship in the sea more than three hundred sea miles south of Pethkids.
However, before they could start tracking, all the patrol systems collapsed in an instant due to a hacker attack.
By the time they recovered and repaired the system, the ship was nowhere to be found.
“Their destination is overseas,” Kelly Martinez pointed at the large sea area going southward indicated on the map.
“Could it be some mysterious overseas force?” No matter how much she thought, Kelly Martinez couldn’t figure out when Virginia Frost had joined forces with overseas power.
This complicates things a lot.
Kelly Martinez looked up, “Why are we at the police station?”
Aubree Groove climbed out of the car, “Some things need to be confirmed.” 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Kelly Martinez followed and got out of the car.
This was her first time stepping into this place not as a suspect.
The feeling was different.
Connie led the two into a sealed room.
Inside the one way mirrored window, a middle-aged man was sat dejectedly in an interrogation chair.
Madon Linggo pushed the door open and walked in slowly.
Upon hearing the noise, the man sitting down flinched and suddenly lifted his head.
Kelly squinted her eyes: “Sadam Hayes.”
Connie explained, “Five years ago, Sadam Hayes misappropriated company funds to cover his stock market losses.
If Virginia Frost hadn’t covered for him, he would have probably been expelled from the company by Digby Hart.
It was then that he became Virginia Frost’s lapdog, repeatedly stealing Artie Group’s trade secrets.
However, Digby Hart wasn’t simple either, Sadam Hayes was a veteran in the company and dealing with him carelessly would invite criticism from the Board of Directors.
Hart planned a scheme to exiled Hayes to Beverley Island.
Frost, probably with no other people to use, recalled him from Beverley Island, but unfortunately, he was still useless.”
Virginia Frost’s cultivation of people’s hearts ultimately led to her downfall.
It could not be more ironic.
“Thir…I need water…” Sadam Hayes was already somewhat delirious.
Madon Linggo unscrewed the bottle of water, but it was immediately snatched by Hayes who thirstily gulped down the water.
Only after finishing the entire bottle of water did Sadam Hayes feel revitalized.
Madon Linggo placed a newspaper in front of him: “Take a look.
”
The headline was about the missing ship of the Rintos.
Currently, this news is being widely reported through newspapers, television, and online platforms in Pethkids; the exaggerated titles of the articles attracting attention.
Sadam Hayes was startled, snatched the newspaper, and read it thoroughly.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter: “Even the Rintos have come to this, it’s served their just deserts.”
Madon Linggo narrowed his eyes: “Sadam Hayes, does the missing ship of the Rintos has something to do with you?”
The fear was visible in Sadam Hayes’ face: “Officer, you think highly of me.
I am nothing more than an ordinary man with a bit of dirty money.
How can I make an entire ship disappear?
I am not a water monster.
”
“Really?
The last known location of the Rintos’ ship was near Beverley Island.
I seem to recall you spent two years there.”
“Officer, I’ve been wronged!
Are you telling me that if the deceased passed by my house, you would suspect me of murder?
That’s too unreasonable.
I admit I don’t have the best reputation, but don’t dump every crime on me.”
“Explain these two invoices.” Madon Linggo threw two documents in front of Sadam Hayes.
The color drained from Sadam Hayes’ face, “I admit, I have done some illegal things, but what does it have to do with the ship’s disappearance?
Officer, don’t accuse me unjustly.”
“False accusation?
Virginia Frost has already become a prisoner, and you’re still dreaming.
Wake up, no one is going to save you now.
If you confess honestly, you might get a lighter punishment, otherwise!”
Sadam Hayes’ heart shuddered; he clenched his hands involuntarily.
His jumping eyebrows betrayed his intense inner struggle.
“Madam Frost…
was she really arrested?” His supposed savior had claimed that he would be rescued soon, but now he was losing faith.
If Virginia Frost couldn’t even protect herself, where would she get the power to rescue him?
Madon Linggo raised his eyebrows and kept silent.
Sitting behind the interrogation table, he exuded an oppressive presence, and without uttering a single word, he managed to shatter Sadam Hayes’ psychological defense.
He had been hungry and tired for days, suffering great physical and mental torment.
He was completely exhausted now.
Even his last hope had been shattered.
What was he holding on for?
“I indeed don’t know about the disappearance of the ship, but I may have some clues.”
Sadam Hayes lowered his head, “Two years ago, a group of pirates streamed into Beverley Island.
They pillaged, they slaughtered, nothing was too depraved for them.
At first, I was pretty scared, but when these pirates found out that I was from Jimenez, they were very friendly towards me, and even asked me about…
”
At this point, Sadam Hayes paused: “They asked me about Agave Rinto.
It was then I learned that Agave Rinto had previously hired people to annihilate this group of pirates.
The remaining small faction of the pirates were on the run, looking for a chance to take their revenge…
”
Kelly Martinez clicked her tongue, “I see, these pirates really had some guts.”
Beverley Island, situated far to the south of the ocean, is an independent island.
It does not belong to Jimenez.
It has not been developed and there are some indigenous residents.
So, when Sadam Hayes was sent to Beverley Island by Digby Hart, everyone knew that it was manifestly an exile.
That place was an absolute wasteland.
If it was being ravaged by pirates, it would not be surprising.
