While Luke was leisurely doing his cooking and research, Cuaron was reporting to Winston, "...... A total of two smiley faces appeared last night. According to the survivor, the first was just a decoy, and the second was the target of the order. ”

Winston didn't say anything, just picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Judging from the statement of the survivors, the strength of the bait and the target are both legendary, and they are ......," Caron said this, and also subconsciously paused before saying the second half of the sentence: "Moreover, the target of the order is likely to be a superpower." ”

Winston's eyes flickered, and he slowly lowered his coffee cup.

Seeing this, Cuarón continued: "The specific ability of the target is unknown, but without reloading, his two revolvers fired at least sixty rounds or more. ”

Winston finally turned his head: "Is there a specific analysis of this superpower?" ”

Caron shook his head: "Not yet." Aside from this peculiarity, he didn't reveal anything too weird. Neither the movement speed, the shooting speed, nor the strength intensity exceeded our alert value. ”

Winston sighed, "What else?" ”

He wasn't much interested in listening to it anymore.

While the current news isn't too bad, that doesn't mean it's not serious.

When it's really bad luck, most people are paralyzed by their opponents and then lose before they can react.

Therefore, this lack of news does not mean good news.

Caron thought for a moment, but then spoke: "We found a statue in the mud pool, it should be left by the smiling man." ”

Winston frowned.

Caron: "We've shipped it back to the lab and done a variety of tests overnight and haven't found any problems so far. ”

Winston finally spoke, "Are you sure he stayed?" ”

Cuarón: "We have carefully checked that there are no black marble statues in the lakeside clearing before last night, and according to the survivors, they were wiped out there......

Winston looked up at him.

Cuarón: "Also, the statue is the shape of the Smiling Man, and maybe it still has his signature on it." ”

Winston: "...... Where is it? ”

Caron: "The truck in the parking lot hasn't been unloaded yet. ”

Winston: "Get to the basement, I'll see it later." ”

Cuarón: "Yes, sir. ”

More than ten minutes later, in the spacious basement hall, Winston walked slowly around the black statue, from the initial intent, to the current thoughtful.

Caron stood silently beside him, silent.

After a long time, Winston looked at the sentence on the pedestal and muttered, "Under the mask, it's not just flesh and blood. Is it a belief, and belief is invulnerable? ”

After a moment of silence, he chuckled and shook his head, turned and walked away, Caron following.

Reaching the basement door, Winston stopped and suddenly said, "Change the name of this Mr. Smiley Man." ”

Cuarón: "What do you mean?" ”

Winston: "Didn't they leave their names and tell us how many people they killed?" ”

Caron: "V? ”

Winston half-turned, looked at the statue again, and smiled, "That's it, send this name to the high table and give them a headache." ”

The two returned to Winston's room, and Caron continued to talk about what had just been said: "Damico's wife is dead, and when our investigators came to the door, they found that she had been dead for less than two hours. ”

The sneer on Winston's face was even worse, but he didn't say anything, just leaned himself back comfortably on the back of the sofa.

Caron knew that this meant to listen slowly, so he continued: "But from the bodyguards next to her, we are sure that she chose to raise the bounty after answering a certain phone call, and there is this. ”

A picture of the dossier in his hand was placed on the coffee table next to Winston: "She copied down these names when she was on the phone. ”

Winston looked at the three names "Smiley Man, Black Cat, and Black Mask" and was not surprised at all: "Who is calling?" ”

Caron shook his head: "This person has very clean hands and feet, except for Damiko's wife and him on the phone, no one else knows." ”

Winston wasn't too surprised.

Cuarón: "Still, there's a bit of a discovery over there in the quagmire. ”

Winston: "Tell me. ”

Cuarón put a photo on the coffee table again: "We checked, and the scene was cleaned up quite cleanly. If it weren't for the survivors' accounts, we would hardly have noticed that there had been a fierce battle there. ”

Winston understands that it is not easy to clean up the traces of more than 100 people fighting, especially since the more than 100 corpses will not disappear into thin air.

Caron: "Then, we found the suspicious van. Compared to the surveillance in the afternoon, there is one less car in the park. And this car only drove to the mud park parking lot yesterday morning. ”

Winston looked at the person in the photo and took a sip of black tea: "This is the driver?" ”

Caron nodded, "Yes." ”

"Found him?" Winston asked.

Caron shook his head: "According to the investigation, this person disappeared a week ago, I don't know where to hide, I only showed up yesterday to rent a car and drive to the mud pool." In our intelligence, this person should be the secret horse boy on Jinji's side, and even the boss of his gang doesn't know about it. ”

Winston's eyes narrowed, and the black teacup in his hand stopped.

The name Jin is really familiar to him.

Although the two sides were at peace for a long time, the earlier conflict was still fresh in Winston's memory.

It is difficult for Jin and Continental to become friends, and the final result is that only one side is on top, and the other side is down or low.

In this rare killer group annihilation incident, the shadow of Jin Ji actually appeared, which immediately made Winston's heart alarm bells.

He frowned as he listened to Cuarón's brief explanation of the driver's information, and then mentioned that the large truck had not been caught by the surrounding surveillance probes, and had just disappeared without a trace.

Winston pondered for a moment and sneered: "Jin and those masked men who have been offered bounties have clashed many times recently, and Damiko was originally his ally. Hehe, this method is really not very good. ”

Cuarón: "What are we supposed to do?" ”

Winston raised his glass again, "Block the news about V's battle, everyone is dead anyway." That survivor...... Let her stay in the hotel for the time being. ”

Cuarón: "So, can it work?" He thinks Winston knows what to do, but his teammates and opponents may not be able to cooperate.

Winston took a sip of black tea: "Whoever does it will go up, and we won't go anyway." By the way, the time and place of V's appearance, what kind of news came out of the bar, right? ”

Caron: "Yes, the survivor also got the account of the informant at that time. ”

Winston: "Let the survivors pass, and release the news that the mastermind behind the 10 million reward for killing the Masked Man is Kim Ji." ”

Cuarón understood: "Yes. ”
