Chapter 512 Howard's Death
Howard was taken into the Earth Dragon Transporter. Liu Jinpeng did not intend to interrogate him on the spot. The noise here was very loud, and American police and the National Guard would come soon. It would be better if they could not exchange fire with them. After the robot soldiers cleaned the battlefield, they carried the injured and destroyed robots on the Earth Dragon Transporter, and also brought some scattered debris with them, trying not to leave any clues.
Howard is now very honest and does whatever he wants, and he doesn't have the usual arrogance. Liu Jinpeng started interrogating him in the car, but he was still lucky and refused to say too many things, and often talked about him.
The Earth-Road drilled out at the foot of the mountains northwest of Oxnard, close to Santa Paula, and is the starting point of the narrow area between the two mountains. There are several nearby twists, but it is the early morning and not many people care about the subtle sounds made here.
Yidi teleported the illusion device over, and Liu Jinpeng commanded the soldiers to put it on Howard. The noble Mr. Director shouted tremblingly: "You can't abuse me like this. I am a decent person. If you want money, I can give it to you. Please let me go."
Liu Jinpeng was impatient with playing hide-and-seek with him and said with a vocalizer: "Since you are unwilling to confess, I can only help you recall it. Don't be excited, this process is very comfortable."
It would be strange if it would be comfortable to interrogate such things. Howard is not a three-year-old child and will not be deceived by the other party at all, but he could not break free from the control of the robot soldier, so he could only look at the strange instruments in despair on his head. Soon he became quiet and even a little drowsy. In the middle of his dream and awakening, he seemed to see a familiar cornfield, which was the twisted view he was in when he was a child.
Then the scenery changed. The mahogany desk, the blackboard full of formulas, and the teacher who was passionately speaking. What is this place? Oh, it seems to be a university classroom. At that time, Ratch Howard was still a young man with ideals and was looking forward to the future with hope.
Soon the scenery changed again, a dark and wet basement, Ratch Howard spent a period of time after graduation, looking for work everywhere and hitting walls everywhere. Those longings and hopes were all gone, and only the cold and bleak reality added countless wounds to his heart.
The final view was a dazzling light, and a familiar sound came from the light. By the way, this was the voice of Teddy Locke. The bastard deceived himself and asked him to work for him. But at the beginning, Howard was grateful to Teddy Locke. At least Teddy gave others a life of being raised. The moment he just got his own apartment and car, Howard could even die for Teddy.
When did you start to forget the original touch? Howard can't remember it. He only knew that Teddy gave him dignity and dignity, but the price was to be a dog for Teddy Rock for the rest of his life! In front of most people, Ratch Howard was a director of the Tagart Group, a generous philanthropist and entrepreneur. But in front of Teddy Rock, he was always a dog, a dog that could be given up at any time!
This was something he could not bear. His self-esteem and pride were always stimulated by this humiliation. Until his ambition became bigger and bigger. Yes, there were many actions later. Howard did not get the permission of Teddy Locke. He gradually used his financial resources to form a team loyal to him and win over some people with unstable will. He hoped that one day he could get rid of Teddy Locke's control and become a truly free person.
Unfortunately, it failed in the end. When the villa was surrounded by a sudden attacker, Rachi Howard immediately thought of Teddy Locke. Only this CEO can do such a big deal, and he will not allow anyone to escape from his control. Howard sadly thought that he had worked hard all his life but could not achieve the goal of freedom. He really made wedding dresses for others.
There was also the stupid ally who provided very little information, most of which were useless or useless. The several actions carried out according to the agreement were completely failed, and even almost implicated himself. Fortunately, when reminded by Martin's death, Howard used a pseudonym to do these things, and tried his best to use money to incite some crazy guys instead of taking action himself, so he finally kept the secret.
Of course, there are also instructions from the Locke family, at least Teddy Locke is informed, and he even gained enough benefits from it. Most of the technology stolen from the Han Empire was put into Teddy Locke's pocket, but Howard himself only got a little fur and became a manipulator behind the scenes. He hated such a position, but he had to continue to follow Teddy Locke's instructions. It was not the time to resist him.
The problem also exists. In order not to notice the flow of funds, Howard risked to embezzle the funds of the Tagat Group to buy the killers. However, the actions failed one after another, except for the last killer who had not taken action, all the others failed. A lot of money was used up, but there was no progress. The directors in the group found that the whereabouts of the funds were unknown, and they had to sell their property. It was really a waste of money.
The memory finally freezes in the corn field bathed in the sun. Howard seems to have returned to his childhood. He walks in this familiar field again, smelling the familiar fragrance, and slowly lies on the corn stalks.
"He is dead." Lin Lin said.
Liu Jinpeng was surprised that illusion would make people die? Lin Lin explained: "He gave up his vitality. The illusion only amplifies the power of his mind. In the illusion, his thoughts can be infinitely magnified, and the fantasy will come true in an instant. He felt tired and wanted to rest forever, so he died."
This is really a bit fantastic, but the information that should be obtained so far has been obtained. In the past, many things that were not clear about the behind-the-scenes commanders had clues. Howard was instructed to do a lot, but his original purpose was to find the person who kidnapped Wan Yichen, but he still couldn't find it. Howard's memory did not show this passage, which shows that he was not a kidnapper, nor a commander.
The information here is very rich. Yiti wants to summarize the obtained image data. There are three information currently obtained: one is that Howard colluded with someone from the Han Empire, and this person is about to emerge; the other is that he is the one who steals the Titanium Star Group's technology, and the Locke family is the one who benefits the most; the three are James Wade, who turns out to be Howard himself, and he pays a lot of money to hire a killer, and the final killer has not yet appeared.
Since Howard was dead, Liu Jinpeng didn't plan to whip the corpse, so he dug a hole in this valley and buried him in it, tied two pieces of wood into a cross and wrote his name on the grave. A big man who called the wind and rain during his lifetime died like this. No matter how great a person was, he only occupied 2 square meters of land after his death. This is a great irony.
The original plan was to attack David Bramitch next, but from Howard's memories, it can be seen that Bramitch's backstage boss also has a certain relationship with Teddy Rock, at least in terms of battery ratio liquid. They are intensifying research on the specific components and proportions of ratio liquid in their New England base camp. Alpha is conducting investigations in this regard and has certain insights.
Liu Jinpeng thought it would be better to stop the action for the time being today, wait and see if there is any movement, and see what Teddy Rock did after hitting Howard, the dog. In addition, it is to conduct reconnaissance against Bramitch and see what his allies will react after they die.
The next morning, when everyone gathered for breakfast, Liu Shuquan already knew what happened at Oxnard Howard Manor last night. At that time, gunfire exploded in the sky, and the Municipal Police Department's Special Police and National Guard arrived at the scene half an hour later, but it was too late.
The traces left on the scene made many people feel strange. First of all, there was too little blood. The traces of gunfighting on the outside were very obvious. The attack was very fierce at that time, but there was no blood on the ground on the attacking side, which means no one was injured. This was simply incredible. On the contrary, there were blood and bullet holes everywhere on the outer and inside of the villa, and the bodies of the bodyguards were seen everywhere, which means that the bodyguards had tried their best.
The second strange thing is that only the weapons and ammunition used by the bodyguards on the scene, and the shells were also left by the bodyguards. The enemy seemed to have even picked up all the shells, and it was obviously impossible to do these within half an hour. In addition, there was no warhead in all the attack bullet holes, and only some deformed fine metal particles, which is another strange phenomenon.
The third strange thing is that the enemy's attack comes from, either airborne or periphery, but rushing into the ground. This way of combat is incredible, but the large pits left on the ground clearly confirm this. The surviving bodyguard also illustrates the situation at that time, and the enemy did emerge from the ground.
The fourth problem is that there are many enemies, but after the garrison guards surrendered, they only took away the owner of the manor, Ratch. Howard. The whereabouts of director Howard are unknown. The priceless oil paintings, decorations, gold and silver utensils, antiques and cash not moved, which shows that the enemy's purpose is clear and not for money at all.
This strange attack caused fear of the vast majority of California rich people. They all strengthened their personal alerts. Those who had the conditions would hide in a solid fortress, and those who did not have the conditions could only spend money to hire people. However, many people suspected that Liu Shuquan, who benefited the most on the surface, was suspected by many people. Director Howard, who had been playing against him, disappeared. He was just a one-man show on the board of directors. Naturally, some people suspected that Liu Shuquan had taken action.
Liu Shuquan sneered at this statement. Director Howard was just a counter-tune in the front desk. It doesn't matter if the boss behind him fails. He doesn't have to use this method to erase him. However, Howard is gone, Bramitch immediately became honest and stopped jumping. Instead, he clamped his tail. This would be of great benefit to Liu Shuquan's full efforts to promote the westward strategy.
