Chapter 568 Midnight Investigation
Qiao Duo was very confident. He, with his slender subordinate, quietly headed quickly towards the Vian office in the town of Murphy.
The Vian office was dark. In such a small place, there were basically no staff on duty at night. If there was an emergency, it was more effective to call the officer directly.
Or rather, everyone was accustomed to solving their own problems. Calling for help was a rare occurrence in such a pastoral town.
In the darkness, Qiao Duo and his subordinate arrived outside the Vian office. The back door of the Vian office was a completely enclosed anti-theft door, with a large rusty padlock hanging on it.
Qiao Duo went directly to the back door. He took out a wire made of alloy material from his pocket and inserted it into the lock. After a few fumbles, with a "click," the large iron lock was easily picked by Qiao Duo.
Qiao Duo was quite proud. All his skills were honed through real combat. In a pastoral town like Murphy, it was incredibly easy to access some information in the Vian office or find someone in this town.
Qiao Duo had no worries at all. After opening the door, he gently pushed it open and walked into the Vian office.
The subordinate beside him also turned on his flashlight. He said to Qiao Duo, "Mr. Qiao, this is their database. Open the database door, and after I enter for three minutes, I can copy the footage from all the surveillance cameras in the entire town. Then we'll know where Mr. Qiqi is hiding."
Qiao Duo nodded and walked to the database, fiddling with it a few times. With a "click," the database door opened.
Just then, the sound of a motorcycle was heard from outside, followed by the glare of its headlights shining towards them.
Then, Breg walked in from the front door of the Vian office. With a "clack," the lights of the entire Vian office turned on.
Qiao Duo and his subordinate showed no panic. Both were remarkably calm, clearly having experienced such sudden crises many times before.
Qiao Duo made a gesture, telling his subordinate to continue copying the data, while he quietly retreated through the back door.
Qiao Duo's objective was clear: to attract Breg's attention and allow his subordinate to copy the data safely and quickly.
Qiao Duo turned and went directly to the front door of the Vian office. He pushed the door open and walked in, laughing loudly. "Mr. Breg, I didn't expect you to be so diligent. Working overtime here late at night!"
Breg turned to look at Qiao Duo, his eyes flashing with impatience. He snorted coldly, sat on a stool, and said to Qiao Duo, "Kid, I warned you to leave Murphy town immediately, yet you're still here. Coming here late at night, it seems you still want to meddle in other people's business!"
"Don't you know that people often lose their lives due to their foolish curiosity? Clearly, you are now hovering on the brink of death!"
"I'll give you one last chance. Get out of Murphy town immediately, or you won't see tomorrow's sun."
Qiao Duo was angered by Breg's words. He had come here intending to attract Breg's attention so his subordinate could copy the data with peace of mind.
But he never expected Breg to be so insolent, completely disregarding him.
He had been the most outstanding detective in Savar, and even though he had resigned and become a private investigator, his connections were still intact. He had close ties and friendships with many senior inspectors in Savar.
Yet here, in a small town like Murphy, he was being looked down upon by a local inspector.
Qiao Duo sneered and pointed at Breg, saying, "How dare you! Let me tell you, I'm investigating Mr. Qiqi. If I find any clues, I will definitely send all you scoundrels to court."
Breg stood up abruptly upon hearing this. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Good, very good. I intended to let you leave, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Since that's the case, you will die here today!"
Breg walked towards Qiao Duo with a cold laugh, his eyes gradually turning blood red. Qiao Duo took a step back, not understanding why Breg was so audacious.
Qiao Duo's hand went to his waist, and he shouted, "Breg, you are too bold. Your actions now are equivalent to premeditated assault. I can shoot you dead immediately."
Breg let out another cold laugh upon hearing Qiao Duo's words. "Ignorant fool, shoot me? What do you think you are? You have no idea what secrets are hidden in our Murphy town!"
"Since you've come here, you should have tucked your tail between your legs, and perhaps we would have kindly let you go. But now you're seeking your own doom, hehehe..."
As Breg spoke, saliva suddenly flowed from his mouth. Then, he leaped forward violently and lunged at Qiao Duo.
Qiao Duo suddenly drew his pistol and fired several shots at Breg. However, the bullets that hit Breg's body had no effect on him whatsoever.
Breg laughed heartily, spread his hands, and his massive palms sprouted claws. With a crisp "snap," like the sound of a watermelon cracking, Qiao Duo's head instantly shattered.
Breg looked down at his body, then reached his clawed hand towards his chest. With three crisp "crack" sounds, three bullet heads fell to the ground. Breg was completely unharmed.
At this moment, the slender subordinate, who was copying data in the database, had finished his work. He picked up the USB drive and was about to leave when he suddenly heard gunshots from the front. The subordinate was startled, not knowing what had happened.
Had his boss, Mr. Qiao Duo, been discovered and shot dead?
The subordinate didn't dare to linger and ran out of the Vian office with the equipment.
His footsteps became slightly louder.
Breg, in the front, heard the footsteps behind him and turned abruptly, leaping over ten meters in an instant.
When he saw the slender subordinate in the darkness, a cold smile appeared on his lips. "So there's another crawling insect seeking death," Breg chuckled. "Today, I can have a great feast."
Saying this, Breg leaped again and lunged ferociously at the slender man.
The subordinate turned and saw Breg with blood-red eyes, letting out a terrified and helpless scream.
Soon, his scream abruptly stopped. His head was directly crushed by Breg.
