Chapter 606 - 275: Major Case
Chapter 606 - 275: Major Case
This case was originally closed by an internal order from Cheongwadae, and the dossier was stored on the "to be destroyed" shelf in the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office’s archive.
Jin Zhijiu spent many years searching before finally finding the original documents in a dust-covered box in the corner.
"Laboratory explosion, military lockdown, White Coat Operation..."
He unsealed the envelope, pulled out the files from the dusty dossier, murmuring aloud until he read the last line, "Masked assailant wearing black!"
His expression shifted subtly.
Immediately, Jin Zhijiu put down the dossier, opened the computer in front of him, and retrieved an encrypted file from the folder that prominently listed all investigation information regarding the masked assailant.
Having appeared in Seoul, South Korea, ten years ago and later active in the Middle Eastern war zone "Toure," he had assumed many identities over the years, two of which Jin tracked yet remained unverified.
One in the Xia Kingdom, the other involved in the terrorist attack at Ethiopia’s Laird Airport.
These were pieces of intelligence he collected through the Science Reconnaissance Department.
Since assuming the position of Chief Prosecutor, he controlled all departments under the Seoul prosecution.
The Science Reconnaissance Department utilizes computer technology, big data, brainwave analysis, psychological analysis, and other high-tech means to gather information on networks, drugs, finance, terrorist attacks, etc., and exchanges judicial intelligence with international alliances like the Asia-Pacific Crime Recovery Agency and others specializing in "advanced crime."
In the intelligence database, he unearthed information unknown to the average person.
Especially "advanced crime," a year-round crime detection alliance comprised of 48 superpowers and capitalist nations including Xia, Russia, America, England, and France, holding vast information on key personnel across various terrorist and emerging organizations.
Besides information on the masked man, there was also "White Coat Operation Investigation Breakdown," "Detailed Information on Wushan Base Laboratory," and...
"Buzz~"
Just as Jin Zhijiu was lost in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He took it out to see it was Jiang Youzhen.
Today, under their collaboration, Jiang Youzhen had risen from a director at AM Medical to President of AM Medical and Executive Director of AM Electronics Group, a position higher than her brother’s, the Yen to AM’s "crown prince."
Just one more step, and she would be CEO of the Group, second only to her father and uncles.
"Do you need something, President Jiang."
"Mr. Jin, I’ve uncovered the truth behind Songyuan’s death." In the call, Jiang Youzhen’s voice was chillingly cold, vastly different from ten years ago, carrying an undertone of eerie frigidity, "Behind the Laird Airport attack, PM Company manipulated mercenaries with the intent to incite war and secure Ethiopia’s military arms orders."
"Has the identity of the masked man at Laird Airport been confirmed?"
Jin Zhijiu wasn’t surprised that Jiang Youzhen could uncover this result.
After the 2015 MERS incident, AM Group, now a rising star in Korea, second only to the Shansang Group, harbors some covert intelligence forces, which is quite natural.
Plus, the deceased Jiang Songyuan was Jiang Youzhen’s younger brother, so she would exhaust all means to investigate.
"Confirmed, his name is Rosolino Cohen, a former student at West Point Military Academy, who was later recruited into the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command. He has participated in the Afghanistan and Yemen wars, serving as the commander of the Special Operations Detachment under the 2nd Independent Brigade, retired in 2017 as a lieutenant colonel, though the reason for retirement is unknown. Currently, he works as a mercenary under PM’s PMC and is quite renowned in the industry."
"Retired in 2017..."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, Jin Zhijiu cross-checked the information on the masked man that he had been investigating for years, finding many discrepancies.
Despite this, he meticulously noted down everything in the document.
After all, over the years, the masked man had changed identities frequently.
Perhaps this "Rosolino Cohen" was also one of his assumed identities.
"Where is he now?"
"He was last seen a few months ago, rumored to be on a covert assassination mission in the United States, but someone recently spotted him in Brazil."
At this point in the conversation, Jiang Youzhen’s tone noticeably shifted, even becoming somewhat hysterical, "Mr. Jin, I’ve decided to take down PM Company, starting with ’Cohen.’ They must pay the price for Songyuan’s death!"
"My condolences, President Jiang, I will also reopen the Wushan Laboratory explosion case to investigate the masked assailant."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone.
Jin Zhijiu leaned completely back into his chair, lightly tapping his fingers on the table, as images of Jiang Songyuan, Jin’s younger brother, with his bun hairstyle, surfaced in his mind.
The last time he saw this kid was at a private gathering with AM a year ago.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Songyuan.
This young man had an attention-seeking, reckless nature with a good heart, but he could not possibly comprehend military tactics, let alone lead US FBI agents and airport security to defeat the PM mercenaries disguising as terrorists at Laird Airport.
This peculiar, bizarre behavior was not unfamiliar to Jin Zhijiu.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back ten years, to memories of sitting in Jiang Youzhen’s car on the street of Cheongwadae.
Even now, the mysterious force that prompted him to manage the MERS incident commands his respect and awe.
There’s a high chance Jiang Songyuan also connected with this mysterious organization.
