Chapter 137 7th Son
The deputy director stared intently at the headless corpse on the forensic examination table.
The examination revealed a long, sharp slash from the left shoulder to the right side of the abdomen. The wound contained traces of a muscle-numbing drug and some inexplicable dirt stuck to the flesh.
As for the fact that his head was stabbed several times with a machete before being torn off, it shows that the perpetrator harbored great resentment towards Appepp.
Upon re-examination of the long, sharp weapon wound, it was discovered that the dust wasn't just inside the wound, but also on the clothing surrounding it, with a width exactly equal to that of a pair of shoes. After some thought, the forensic doctor reached a bold conclusion—
“Deputy Director, the killer had a knife hidden in the sole of his shoe, and the knife contained a muscle-paralyzing drug. It’s very likely that he took advantage of Apep’s drugged and paralyzed state, and then beheaded him while he was still conscious.”

On the other side, more than a dozen agents were frantically typing on their keyboards in front of their computers. According to their instructions, they were working together to find the IP address of the person who released the video. However, the other party was very clever and probably outnumbered them. They had even started to play tricks on them.
The other party's IP address would appear in various locations, such as the middle of the Pacific Ocean one moment and somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean the next—places that seemed impossible. Furthermore, the other party was moving incredibly fast, making it extremely difficult to trace their true address.
……
Information Group Headquarters.
Team leader Granfidy, dressed in pajamas, sat in front of the computer, intently operating something, while the team members diligently typed on their keyboards to carry out the orders given by their team leader.
Glenfiddich is four years older than Peño and is a young, genius hacker. A few years ago, he dropped out of school due to family reasons and was recruited by the organization. Within a few months, he successfully rose to a higher position thanks to his superb skills and valuable talent.
Today, knowing that Bai Yexiu could solve the problem of the group's equipment being constantly stolen, Granfidi agreed to help Bai Yexiu without hesitation.
As the last character was typed, Glenfiddich stood up and took a hearty gulp of his Coke. The other team members also stopped working one by one, happily high-fiving those around them.
After working in the organization for so many years, always doing tedious things like developing software and programs, it's rare for them to be able to go back to their old profession and have so much fun.
……
Jason, who was lying in bed recovering from his injury, suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and saw that it was an email from an unknown email address.
The email contained only one picture—a picture of Appepp's head.
In the picture, the head is placed in a box, as if it had just been torn off. Even with only a head left, Appepp's sinister eyes are still wide open, seemingly glaring at Jason through the screen.
As for who sent the email, Jason already knew the answer.
Seeing this picture, he couldn't help but smile, even though he had been feeling down for the past two days.
……
Bai Yexiu went to the safe house to pack his luggage and prepare to return to Tokyo. As for the head, Bai Yexiu asked Ricard to use his connections to have it transported back to Tokyo, since this thing couldn't be brought onto the plane openly.
Percy volunteered to retrieve Ricard's head.
The "bandaged weirdo" immediately tried to give Bai Yexiu a passionate "reunion hug," but Bai Yexiu nimbly dodged it, allowing the man to hug him instead of the gift box, which still had its lid open.
The head inside the box had its eyes wide open, and Percy was staring right into its eyes.
"Wow!" Percy suddenly became unusually excited. "It's the head!"
"..." Bai Yexiu opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it.
It looks like he's having another attack; it's best not to talk to Parsey.
"Can I kick it? It must be so much fun!" Percy rubbed his hands excitedly, eager to try, just like a toddler seeing a football for the first time.
But the problem is, this isn't football!
Bai Yexiu ultimately didn't say what he intended to say to stop Pasi. He sighed, said "Don't hurt your face," and continued packing his luggage.
Percy, oblivious to everyone else, treated the head like a soccer ball and kicked it around the safe house. He kicked it several times before reluctantly putting the head back in the box.
Before leaving, Bai Yexiu glanced at the head that had been kicked—the pale head, which had already lost most of its color, now had several bruises, and one of its eyes had been kicked inward; it was truly a pitiful sight.
……
Just as he was about to board the plane, Bai Yexiu received a call from Gin.
"Why did you suddenly go to London again?" Gin asked bluntly.
"I have some business to attend to, and I'm already preparing to return." Bai Yexiu stopped and leaned against the wall next to the boarding gate.
"Heh, do you think I don't know? Don't think I don't know you caused a ruckus at Mi6 headquarters. Jundu, your recent movements are a bit suspicious. If I'm not mistaken, you did this without reporting it in advance. I remember you've never been one to disregard organizational rules."
Gin's tone sounded somewhat angry and dissatisfied, and he immediately launched into a long string of questions.
"You're overthinking it. Anyone in the organization, including you, could betray it, but I would never, and there's absolutely no way I would. Besides, I don't belong to any action group. I'm a special solo operator. It's none of your business where I go."
Because betraying the organization would bring Bai Yexiu absolutely no benefit.
"You better be."
Gin hung up the phone, looked at his phone and sneered, "That brat Jundo seems to have changed a lot."
"Maybe he was pressured from above, or maybe he was stimulated by something. Kids have to grow up too." Vodka didn't know the meaning behind Gin's words and habitually replied.
Gin didn't say anything, but silently canceled his schedule for a future day and sent a request email to the boss.
While waiting for a reply, Gin recalled his questioning of Byakuya on the highway the last time.
He said to Bai Yexiu, "You seem to have changed a lot."
Cointreau's response was rather cryptic: "Perhaps my mind is much clearer than before."
Although he didn't know the exact meaning of the sentence, Gin could guess it to some extent.
Jundu, as a pawn, had already sensed something.
This piece wants to do something for itself.
Unlike Cointreau, who was kept in the dark and unaware that he had always been a pawn, he was not.
The boss appears compassionate and has an extreme fondness for children, but he is a selfish and contradictory person who would push his own child out in a crisis.
Before Cointreau, the Boss lost six children, four of whom he killed himself.
Gin had met two of the four children, and without exception, they were all spoiled into being obedient and compliant to the boss. Naturally, these types of children would never know that the so-called "father" was the one who killed them.
When it came to Jundo, the seventh child, Gin naturally considered Jundo to be a pawn as well. The only difference was that this pawn had a special body and was much more capable and intelligent than the previous children, but even so, a pawn was still a pawn.
In the eyes of the boss, the so-called "adopted son" is just a synonym for "pawn".
Gin had always known, but he never said it.
He felt he had no obligation to help Jundu, as it would only get him into trouble, but he hoped that Jundu would discover the truth on his own.
Images of the children before their deaths flashed through his mind, followed by the innocent smile on one of the children's faces when he gave him the Porsche.
It was just a thought.
He seemed unwilling to see Cointreau suffer the same fate.
