Timothy Hunter's current situation and mood are unknown, but compared to Ye Gengyi's calmness, Megu Shisan and Shiratori Rensaburo who hurried to Mark Spencer's residence on the other side were shrouded in a kind of famous... It's called a 'pressure' atmosphere.
Take the elevator to the agreed floor.
The first person to greet them was not Spencer himself, but a group of personal bodyguards in suits and ties.
Metal detection doors, X-ray machines that scan carry-on packages...
In a treatment called 'safety' that is actually 'offensive'.
The two policemen who were searching the first section were brought into the living room with unsightly expressions.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Spencer is undergoing a medical examination."
Two cups of steaming coffee were brought and placed on the table.
Neither Megure Thirteen nor Shiratori Rensaburo drank.
After waiting like this for nearly an hour, the door on one side of the living room was opened and two doctors in white coats walked out.
After a while, an old man who looked exactly like Mark Spencer in the photo finally appeared.
"I kept you two waiting for a long time."
His voice was as old as it was on the phone, and there was no trace of apology at all.
Mumu Thirteen took a deep breath:
"Mr. Spencer, the main reason we came here is to know something about the deceased...your driver, Carlos Lee, in person."
"Come with me." Mark Spencer motioned for the two of them to follow him towards the room on the other side.
Memu Shisan and Shiratori Rensaburo were shocked.
On the way here, they learned something about the power of the former commander, Mark Spencer.
It can be said that this is also the source of their heavy heart.
If the entire sniper incident is really related to the other party, then today's investigation will undoubtedly become extremely complicated and dangerous.
There was an indescribable silence.
Megure Thirteen and Shiratori Rensaburo followed Mark Spencer to his study.
The moment the door opened, a scene with luxurious decoration came into view.
The study area is about 60 square meters, with a gorgeous red carpet on the floor, and portraits of previous naval commanders and some oil paintings of ocean scenery hanging on the walls.
The desk is a large carved walnut table, with all the stationery supplies on the table, including a gold-plated pen, a beautifully carved inkwell, and a leather diary for recording important matters.
Mark Spencer pointed to a sofa covered with blue silk next to him and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
Not long after the two sat down.
It was still the strong man in a suit who brought coffee to the two of them before, but this time there was a set of exquisite ceramic coffee cups and silver coffee pots on the tray in the other person's hand.
Hey, hey, commanding active-duty officers while on duty, and still commanding retired officers after retirement, this guy really enjoys it... Shiratori Rensaburo's eyes were empty, and for a while it was difficult for him, the 'young master', to adapt.
"Ahem...it seems that Mr. Spencer is a person who understands life very well."
Smelling the smell of 'power and money' emanating from the whole room, Shiratori Rensaburo also opened the topic again with some emotion.
Mark Spencer said bluntly: "Is Hunter the person who killed Carlos?"
Eh……
Such straightforward words caught the two of them off guard.
After thinking for a while, Mumu Thirteen asked, "Mr. Spencer, do you know something?"
"I know Carlos' ability. He is a very good officer," Mark Spencer said: "I am afraid no one can kill him easily except Hunter. Isn't there no trace of the struggle left at the scene? "
"No...about this..."
Mumu Shisan was about to deny it subconsciously, but soon looked over with a look of astonishment: "How did you..."
You must know that in the previous phone call, he only revealed this piece of information about Carlos Lee being shot.
"Don't be so surprised. When someone around me has a problem, I always have to grasp some situations. Although I still don't know how the other party knew Carlos' whereabouts and killed him, there is no doubt that it was a murder. …”
Mark Spencer paused, and his old voice became more violent:
"Carlos Lee is my driver. From another perspective, the other party's target is probably me. If possible, I also want to know what happened."
"Mr. Spencer...you mean that someone leaked the whereabouts of Mr. Carlos?" Megure Thirteen asked.
"have no idea."
Mark Spencer shook his head: "But knowing the target's whereabouts is the quality of a good sniper."
The topic once again returned to Timothy Hunter.
Shiratori Rensaburo considered his words for a moment and asked:
"According to the information we have, Hunter's target seems to be motivated by revenge. Do you know what grudge there is between Carlos and Hunter?"
"Well..." Mark Spencer pondered.
"Mr. Spencer!" Shiratori Rensaburo said: "Even if it is unimportant news, it may help us catch the real culprit as soon as possible."
"...Young man, don't be impatient."
Mark Spencer glanced at him and then said: "I don't know what grudges the two of them have privately, but I can give you an idea -"
Megure Thirteen and Shiratori Rensaburo pricked up their ears at the same time.
Mark Spencer pointed to a picture frame on the wall.
It was a group photo of Carlos Lee wearing a Silver Star on his chest.
"Hunter was also a very good sniper before he went to court-martial. He killed 79 enemy soldiers in the Middle East battlefield, while Carlos was only one less than him."
Is it... because of jealousy?
Although according to the known clues, there is a possibility that Hunter was framed for shooting civilians in the Middle East war, the fact that is also before our eyes is that the other party just killed a reporter and a real estate salesperson not long ago...
This thought came to mind of Megure Thirteen and Shiratori Rensaburo.
"It seems that the two of you already have some ideas."
"come in……"
Mark Spencer picked up the phone on the table and gave an order, then said: "Hunter is an excellent former SEAL officer. Your police cannot deal with him. I can arrange some people to help you with the investigation."
While they were talking, several retired naval officers in suits walked in. They were all tall and straight, with resolute expressions. If you look carefully, there was a faint murderous look in their eyebrows.
"These are all my... friends," Spencer vaguely skipped the introduction part, and only said the key points: "They have rich experience in the military and can assist your police investigation, and have a good understanding of Hunter's techniques and tactics. The level is also understood. I hope that Hunter can be found as soon as possible and this murder case will have a just end."
