A vicious murder occurred in July last year. Ms. "Rose Washington", the girlfriend of Windy City Mayor Rushmore Donovan... The ex-girlfriend was found dead in the Mellott Hotel. Strangling to death.
Ms. Rose herself is also known as a philanthropist. After the death of Rose Washington, there were clues that the mayor had also appeared at the Mellott Hotel and was designated as the first suspect.
But the suspicion was quickly cleared because the mayor gave a pretty strong alibi and because of his grief-stricken performance during the tragedy, which added a few percentage points to his approval rating.
However, the manipulated media concealed a secret from the public, that is, less than a day after the incident, the service staff responsible for Ms. Rose's room, the foreman and manager who knew about it were all "resigned" due to illness.
In the next few days, news came out one after another that these people all died suddenly due to various diseases, but it was soon completely covered up by the online media with a lot of junk news.
But... wherever you go, you will inevitably leave traces. If the Southern Society wants to eradicate all insiders, it will inevitably need to use network hackers to deal with the cameras - the security service of the Mellott Hotel has them. The habit of placing cameras in the room.
Hackers are not that easy to deal with. Rather than face-to-face confrontation, they prefer to seduce people behind the scenes.
The Southern Society was supposed to deal with hackers who snooped into secrets, but by mistake, they targeted the duo of Damian and Aiden who were performing electronic account theft operations at the bottom but knew nothing about it.
This was definitely a ploy by a senior hacker to save the handsome man by giving up his car, which exposed the two people’s true information. But the consequence was that although Aiden escaped with his life by releasing the water because the killer Maurice saw the child, his niece Nina died of serious injuries in a car accident, and Pickson also suffered from severe mental illness.
Damian was also treated badly. At the very least, he lost his job, was almost beaten to death, and had one of his legs disabled. His personality also changed drastically.
That is to say, Aiden's constant alternation of intense emotions of pain, guilt, and regret attracted the attention of the system.
...
One night five months ago.
Xie Yuan, who had just finished his primary physical training, had been sitting on a sofa in a house, looking at the door in darkness.
The sound of the door lock being turned was heard, and soon the door was opened. However, the door slowly opened, but no one came in yet. Instead, a voice came out: "Who has come in? Is there any business for me?" "
Xie Yuan did not answer the call.
The figure still took out the gun and walked in slowly. Although it was pitch dark all around, the person quickly pointed the gun at the sofa and asked:
"Who are you?"
Jordi Chin was a closer, not only of the best kind, but of the most special kind because no one who came into contact with him could forget him.
Feel like things are incredibly beyond repair? Jordi is your savior. As long as he has enough money, he can solve all problems. Do you want to dispose of the body? Want to find a missing enemy? Is there anyone who can't stand it that you want to solve? Jordi knows everything.
This is Jordi's personal space advertising slogan. He has serious anti-moral tendencies and some anti-social thoughts, because he will deal with anyone who hinders him hastily, even innocent people.
Jordi and Aiden had been rivals in the past, and had cooperated and opposed each other. However, the only reason Xie Yuan wanted to find him was because Jordi was not among the assassins who assassinated him that time.
"It's not polite to point a gun at an old friend." The figure on the sofa said in the darkness.
"If you're pointing at a dummy that makes a sound, that's not polite or impolite." Jordi retorted casually after hearing the familiar voice, "As soon as I saw the commander posting your dead body on the Terminator Dark Web, I knew the news was false, but I didn’t expect you to come to my door so late.”
Xie Yuan reached out and turned on the light switch, and the room suddenly lit up. Sure enough, sitting on the sofa was a dummy with a speaker.
Only then did Jordi put down his gun, turned around and opened his hands to face Aiden: "As the host, I would like to add a welcome to my home, but as a close person, I would like to say that I will not agree to hire anyone without a big price.
Everyone knows you're in big trouble. "
"The price is not a big problem," Xie Yuan waved his hand and patted him an envelope. "A cashier's check of 1 million from Cayman National Bank. This amount is enough to buy you for a long time."
"Well... I have long heard that there was a hacker on the market recently who used two methods, product technology improvement and electronic theft, to coerce and lure many companies and earn huge commissions. I always thought it was a story." Jordi did not hesitate. He opened the envelope vaguely and checked the authenticity of the money order, "I didn't expect it to be true. Aren't you worried that I lost your money?"
"Since I dare to give it, I'm prepared to lose it. It was money that came from nothing," Aiden said, sitting next to the dummy as if he were at home.
He took out the soda pop in his pocket and took a sip. Then he looked at Jordi with a smile: "Anyway, I only lost one million, but you can only earn this one million in the future. We didn’t lose much.”
"Humph," Jordi sneered, kissed the cashier's note, then carefully put it back into the envelope, and then put the envelope in the inner pocket of his suit for safekeeping.
One million U.S. dollars may not sound like much, but you still need to complete 10 top-level finishing tasks to make a net profit of one million U.S. dollars. Considering that no one can complete 10 top-level tasks with 100% success in a row, Jordi's ability and such a huge sum of money can prevent him from taking on tasks for three consecutive years.
But what if the money is wasted? Not to mention Aiden's reaction, the entire closing industry, even if most people have a hostile relationship with Aiden Pierce, will despise Jordi's behavior, which will cause his reputation to be lost for many years.
The close person has no reputation and no connections. For Jordi, death is not far away, unless he does not want the money or no longer works as the close person.
And quitting the closeout business for a million dollars is a fool's errand.
So even though he knew that Aiden Pierce was a huge trouble, he still bowed to Xie Yuan and saluted like a British-style butler, and asked sincerely: "Serving you humbly, what can I do for you?"
Ignoring his skin color and race, as well as his ferocious facial expression, he is 6.1 feet (1.85 meters) tall, has a goatee, and wears a red shirt with the top buttons unbuttoned and the collar pinned to his jacket. , using a pair of brown leather shoes to match his suit, he really looks like a butler.
However, Xie Yuan also knew that Jordi was a guy with histrionics, so he didn't take it seriously. He just took out a set of documents and a recorder from his pocket and handed them to Jordi.
Then he explained to him the target he needed to find: "I think you also know that the first time I got into trouble was from the motorcycle assassination that almost happened in the tunnel. I found all the relevant information that was still available, including some medical bills.
More importantly, I found a recorded conversation. The person who did it was named Morris. I remember he was a Latin man. "
"The Latin man named Maurice has been around for nearly half a year. It's difficult for me to give you a guarantee that he will be found immediately." Jordi was embarrassed to get vaccinated.
"I know, but if the heat hadn't died down a lot after half a year, rashly investigating people would have attracted more intense attention." Xie Yuan certainly knew that it would be difficult to start the investigation again after half a year, but it would be safer.
In view of the eternal truth that the human heart cannot withstand too many temptations, he did not believe that Jean Jordi would not turn him in once he was noticed by the southern society. After all, a million dollars is not as important as a life.
The later the information about his fake death was noticed by the southern community, the more time he had to prepare for the fallout.
So after the materials and requirements that should be delivered were given to Jordi, Xie Yuan also said goodbye.
However, far away from Jordi's house, Xie Yuan still took out his mobile phone and dialed a contact named Bad Boy 17.
As soon as the call was connected, Aiden immediately pre-empted the call and said, "I have received the information you provided. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Actually, there is." Bad Boy 17 replied.
