Chapter 993 The Missing Former Nordic Head
Even though the center of the explosion was hundreds of meters underground, the fire and black smoke it produced spread dozens of kilometers away.
On the rooftop of a high-rise building somewhere in Denmark, a blond man was leaning on the fence with a lazy expression. His eyes reflected the distant firelight, and there was a hint of contempt underneath.
"Is this the outstanding partner you recommended to me?" the man sneered, "He is really excellent."
He seemed to be talking to someone on the headset. After a pause, the man continued: "Pepper Stiller, if you still want to get help from me, at least find someone normal next time, not someone obsessed with hatred. Trash where you can’t find yourself.”
After that, he hung up the call directly, obviously not wanting to hear that person's voice for one more second.
If anyone were present at this time, they would find that this man with smooth blond hair is none other than Gunter Von Goldberg, who is touring around the world.
…
Xinfan returned to Sweden overnight, and Silla was already waiting for him at the hotel.
"Mescal." Silla handed him a document. "As expected, as soon as I spread the news that you were killed, someone exposed the truth. After my verification, that person was just The executor, there is a real mastermind behind him.”
Nobushige threw the document aside casually: "Is it Gilder, the person in charge of Northern Europe who took over after you left?"
Silla was slightly startled and blurted out: “How do you know?”
He had spent so much time investigating the evidence and couldn't believe it, but Mescal had already known it.
"Guess." Nobuhiro said nonchalantly, "Although the password of my office is very simple, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter. After all, everyone's movements in that base can be monitored. Unless the orderer himself is from Northern Europe. As the supreme commander, he does not have to worry about possible harsh criticism from above."
"In that case, what do you want me to investigate?" Silla was puzzled.
Nobuhiro did not answer directly, but asked him: "Where are the people?"
"This is the strangest thing. According to those in the Nordic branch, their leader has been missing for almost half a month."
"disappeared?"
"Yes, because Gilder often goes out on missions, and usually only close associates will follow him. Most members of the branch are not qualified to know his itinerary. Until now, the disappearance of the person in charge has not been reported."
Xinfan frowned deeply.
It's understandable that the people below him don't know, and Silla doesn't know his itinerary either, but the dignified person in charge of Northern Europe lost contact for no reason, and the organization didn't get any news at all?
This is so strange.
Even if Northern Europe is not a very important scientific research base for the organization, that gentleman and Rum will never allow a certain branch to lose contact for more than three days. Half a month has passed, and it is basically impossible for those two people to know anything.
"Do you know his address?"
"The apartment Gilder rented in Stockholm is nearby."
Nobuhiro suddenly stood up: "We will go to his apartment to investigate now."
"Ah?" Silla was confused, "But aren't we going back to China in the afternoon? Is it still too late to investigate now?"
"I have to go even if it's not late. The worst I can do is postpone my return to China." Nobushige made a decisive decision.
He felt that with the behavior of the people in the Swedish Security Agency, even if he didn't go today, they probably wouldn't be able to find him. What's more, even if the security bureau does come to visit, Nobuhiro will not be false at all.
After hearing this, Silla knew that it was useless to stop him, so he simply acted as a driver for Mescal, and the two of them headed towards the apartment where Gilder rented.
As the car drove away from the hotel parking lot, the curtains were gently opened in front of a window on a certain floor. A man with short black hair stood in front of the window, staring at the car going away.
He pressed the power button of his cell phone to turn off the screen. The undialed call had the word "RUM" written on it. The disobedient curly hair was exposed from the knitted hat, swaying slightly with his movements.
The man withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and suppressed the emotion in his eyes.
…
As the head of the organization branch, Gilder's small coffers are certainly very full, which can be seen from the fact that he has an apartment of more than 200 square meters in the best area of Stockholm.
The more high-end the apartment, the stricter the management of residents and visitors.
But of course this was not a problem in front of Nobushige. They successfully passed the inspection by the doorman, entered the apartment building, and took the elevator directly to Gilder's residence.
Gilder had been missing for half a month, and there was a layer of dust on the floor of the apartment, but other than that, the rest of the place seemed excessively clean and tidy.
Seeing this, Nobushige couldn't help but complain: "Isn't this Gilder a terminally ill patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder?"
"What?" Silla didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing, just be careful not to leave any footprints."
Nobushige put on his shoe covers and gloves, and then tiptoed into Gilder's apartment.
Silla followed him closely: "It seems that he was not in a hurry when he left. He should have left on his own initiative. Maybe he encountered an accident while on a mission?"
"I checked his task schedule two weeks ago. It's all basic work, so it shouldn't be a big deal."
While he was talking, Nobuhiro had already arrived at Gilder's bedroom. His study and bedroom were connected together, separated only by a flower shelf.
The owner didn't water them for half a month, but these flowers were still alive and healthy.
Nobuhiro felt strange, so he lifted up the flower pot and took a look. It turned out that there were small water channels under the flower stand. The bottom of each flower pot was connected to the water channels below with cotton ropes. This will ensure that the soil moisture in the flower pot is always maintained at a relatively healthy level.
Even if Gilder is not obsessive-compulsive, he must be a very serious and detail-oriented person.
"Want to see his computer?" Silla stopped in front of the desk and asked.
Seeing Nobuhiro nod, Silla turned on the computer and gave him the seat in front.
Nobuhiro knew a lot about computers, so he opened several hidden folders. There was some various information in it, most of which was related to the work of the organization, and it was not very confidential. He took a quick look and lost interest.
However, just when Nobuhiro was about to turn off his phone and look elsewhere, his phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Hiroki popped up a line of text on the screen: "There is still a hidden space on his computer. I have unencrypted it. You can just open the top disk."
Xinfan opened the disk as instructed, and the computer screen immediately went black.
He waited for about half a minute, and the screen flashed twice, and a desktop similar to before but different appeared. And this seems to be the space Gilder really uses.
