Chapter 836: Employer Identity
Atlanta, a hotel suite.
Team leader Paul's words may easily sound ambiguous, but the other party is already married and his wife has given birth to a child for him. There is no problem with his orientation. He was just joking with Luo An.
As for Klaus himself, he was successfully taught a lot by Team Leader Paul, who has been wandering between black and white for many years, is good at talking, and is better at harmonious communication, and has learned a lot of knowledge, and his speaking attitude has also improved a lot.
Roan asked a few questions, and Klaus explained everything simply.
Surprisingly, Klaus has always lived in Atlanta, as have Karl and others under him.
They don't have regular jobs. They occasionally assemble some guns from parts and sell them, resell some white flour, and rob a bank when they have nothing to do. Their daily life is very monotonous and not interesting at all.
Until not long ago, Klaus was on an underground website, preparing to buy some low-priced gun parts and assemble the finished guns for sale when someone suddenly sent him a message asking him to kidnap someone.
Klaus refused at first. First, he didn't know the other party at all and was worried about the police engaging in fishing. Second, kidnapping was far more troublesome than robbing a bank, and he didn't have much experience in this area.
But seeing that the other party was willing to pay a reward of 300,000 US dollars and provide all of Anatoly's information, Klaus finally agreed.
It’s not that he cares about the money, but he mainly wants to add another skill. There is also a lot of knowledge in the kidnapping business, and Klaus thinks it is worth learning.
After a brief discussion between the two parties, Klaus first asked for a deposit of $100,000, prepared some weapons, and then tracked Anatoly from Atlanta to New York.
After reading the written record in Luo An's hand, Lacey frowned:
"In other words, Klaus doesn't know who hired them."
"It doesn't matter, Klaus has already given us the URL of the underground website and his account password."
Mona smiled nonchalantly, sat down at the dining table and started typing on the keyboard:
"Give me some time and I'll see if I can find the hirer."
"I'm here to help."
Michelle immediately moved her chair, held the computer and came to Mona to help her.
Luo An poured a cup of coffee for several people and said with a smile:
"Actually, Klaus's words have already provided us with a lot of information."
Lacey looked confused, Luo An took a sip of coffee and explained:
“First of all, the hirer’s request is to kidnap Anatoly, not to kill him directly.
Considering that Anatoli was a member of the treasure-hunting ship, the real purpose of the hirer was probably to ask Anatoli for the specific location of the sunken ship, and then to salvage the gold himself. "
"That's right!"
Lacey's eyes lit up and she agreed with Luo An's analysis. Then she frowned slightly and said:
“The question is, who is this employer from?
A gangster team, or a counterfeit team? "
"Both are possible, but it won't be a treasure hunting team anyway."
Cheniel also figured this out, and then she realized a problem and said in a serious voice:
"The other party is so anxious to find Anatoly. Is it possible that Benson, the last survivor of the treasure hunting team, is also dead?"
"The possibility exists."
Luo An held his chin in his hand and analyzed in a low voice:
"On the night of the fire, the black and black team suffered heavy losses, especially the counterfeit banknote team. Equipment, personnel, counterfeit banknote inventory, etc. were all burned by the fire.
During the exchange of fire between the two sides, the counterfeiting team most likely also learned about the gold from the sunken ship.
If this gold is found, whether it is a gangster team or a counterfeit banknote team, they can recover their losses and even make a huge profit. "
“In other words, if Benson is caught by the gangster team, the employer may be the counterfeit banknote team.
On the other hand, if Benson is caught by the counterfeiting team, the employer may be a gangster team. "
Lacey summarized Roan and Chenelle's analysis, and then asked:
"Roan, what you just said about Klaus provided a lot of information, what else?"
"The second information is almost the same as your summary."
Luo An put down the coffee cup and said quietly:
"Klaus said that he was approached by someone for hire while he was browsing underground websites.
Klaus has obviously never done anything like kidnapping, but his employer is still willing to pay him to do it. What does this mean? "
Lacey was stunned for a moment, Chenille's expression changed, she reacted instantly, clapped her hands and said:
"The employer has met or known Klaus in real life!"
"It can even be said that the employer knows Klaus very well, knows that he likes money and is short of money, and also knows his experience in buying parts and assembling guns on websites. Otherwise, the employer would not be able to find Klaus on underground websites."
Luo An nodded, and then Chenier's analysis continued:
"People who know Klaus so well are either Chris's past customers who sold guns and flour, or they are his relatives or subordinates."
"No matter which one, the employer is sure to subdue Klaus at the critical moment."
Lacey finally reacted, hammered her hands and said loudly:
"To prevent Klaus from going it alone or taking the opportunity to raise the price after learning the information about the sunken gold from Anatoly!"
"The hirer is a gangster! It must be them!"
Cheniel looked serious and continued her analysis:
"Only Vassell and Vernon from the Black and Black Team, they not only robbed the bank, they may have approached Klaus to buy weapons.
They still have the ability and ruthlessness to take action at the critical moment, kill Klaus and his men, and take Anatoly away! "
"Everyone! I found the information of the employer!"
At this moment, Mona suddenly showed excitement, raised her hand and said loudly:
"The other party has just entered this underground website and registered an account not long ago. The first thing he did after registering the account was to contact Klaus. "
"It is true!"
Lacey was excited and hurried to Mona's side. Chenier followed closely to check the situation. Luo An looked calm and asked:
"Can you find out where the other party is now?"
"The IP address when the other party first registered the account was in Atlanta, and it was the same when chatting with Klaus... Now there is no way to confirm it. "
Mona tapped the computer keyboard a few times, pondered for a few seconds and looked up:
"However, Michelle can pretend to be someone else and send a message to the other party. As long as the other party replies, Michelle chats with the other party briefly, and I can locate the other party. "
"Very good! "
Roan nodded with satisfaction. Lacey and Chenier were quite excited. Michelle looked up at Roan, wondering what words Roan asked him to send to the other party.
"Pay attention to Klaus's tone of voice and typing habits when he communicated with the other party in the past."
Roan was silent for a few seconds, first reminded Michelle a few words, and then said:
"Tell the other party that Anatoly has been captured and we are returning to Atlanta.
However, there were some accidents during the capture process, and several of my men were injured. "
Michelle nodded, thought carefully for a few seconds, polished these words, and sent them out according to Klaus's speaking habits.
After pressing the send button, the room was quiet. Lacey, Chenier and others looked at the computer screen with nervous faces. The people on the other end didn't know whether they saw the message and had not answered yet.
While waiting, Winslow came over, shook his phone and said:
"The news about gold has been sent from the trace inspection department."
"What did they say?"
"They suspect that the sunken ship is the SS Central America."
