Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 156 Recording!

At this point, the hacker organization stood up and left the computer.

Roy operated the mouse and opened the only folder.

The subdirectory appeared in front of everyone.

Irina asked, "What's in this?"

Roy shook his head: "I don't know either."

Continue to open sub-directories.

Hundreds of files are neatly arranged.

The file name prefix is ​​all Pfize Inc.
Seeing this prefix, Irina and Selina looked at each other. They all knew this English name, it was very famous, Huirui Pharmaceuticals.

Could it be that……

Is this Susan's?
Irina guessed it immediately.

Roy clicked on one of them at random. The file content was the financial report of a subsidiary company on a certain date in a certain year.

Click X to close, these things are of no use to Roy.

He is not in finance and can't understand it at all.

Continue to open other folders.

The vast majority are financial reports.

Irina asked from behind Roy: "Where did you get this?"

Roy operated the mouse and said, "Remember Susan I mentioned to you before? This is something she left behind. Jonathan's family found it."

Serena said beside her: "We stayed at Jonathan's house for a night a few days ago."

Irina nodded.

These things were useless to Roy, but useful to her. In the first few days after Susan disappeared, Irina sent people to Jonathan's house to look for things when Jonathan was not at home at night. Unfortunately, they could not destroy the scene and could not conduct a large-scale search, so they returned empty-handed.

I looked around a lot.

All financial data that was useless to Roy.

Roy knew that Susan was auditing Pfizer, and he also knew that this matter must be related to Pfizer, but the real culprit behind the incident could not be found based on the financial data alone. He couldn't just blow up the Pfizer headquarters building.

That’s not very realistic…

Roy sighed.

Turning his head to look at the organization's hacker, Roy said, "Maybe there are some hidden files or something like that, see if you can find them."

Roy made way for the organization's hackers.

Sitting back in front of the computer, the hacker used a program he had specially written to begin a large-scale search of file information on the hard drive.

Since it would take some time, Roy returned to the sofa and smoked a cigarette, his facial expression becoming serious.

He was worried about Jonathan.

Jonathan had been a police officer for 18 years and had never fired his service gun at any mammal, which meant it was a fire poker.

Revenge will definitely result in death.

Susan's case cannot be resolved through normal channels. Not to mention whether the evidence is sufficient, the fact that the body was in Roy's hands for so many days is unexplainable.

Another reason is that Huirui is very rich and powerful, and even if the real culprit behind the incident is found, it will be almost impossible to bring him to justice.

Roy knew very well that American law was aimed at the poor. If the rich broke the law, they would not only hire a professional team of lawyers to defend them, but even if they were found guilty by the jury, there were countless ways to avoid going to jail.

They can be released on medical parole if they are unwell; they can pay a huge amount of bail; they can serve their sentence at home through special means; some wealthy people can even buy the prison and turn it into their own home.

In the United States, prison privatization is a trend, and it is a sure-win business, so Roy never thought of using normal channels to resolve the matter. In his eyes, there is only one word: kill!

Whoever is involved in this will die, it's that simple.

"Have it!"

The voice of the organization's hacker reached everyone's ears.

Roy slammed his cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up, walked behind the hacker, and looked at the laptop screen.

Irina and Selina followed.

The hacker of the organization said: "There are a lot of fragmented files that seem to have no meaning hidden among many files. I reassembled and restored these fragmented files, and they are two recording files."

Roy looked at the two recording files: "First one!"

The hacker operated the mouse and clicked on the first one.

The laptop's built-in speaker made a sound.

There is the sound of wind and cars passing by in the background.

A man's voice appeared:

"Susan, I advise you to stop. This matter involves the interests of too many people. If you want to touch it, I can't imagine the consequences. It will be terrible. Think about your husband Jonathan Hunter and your daughter Lina. She is still a child."

"Although this is a task assigned by the IRS to your accounting firm, you can choose to stay out of it and pretend you didn't see it. This way, everyone will be better off and no one will lose their life because of this."

The wind was getting louder and louder, and the man's voice was covered by the wind, but if you listened carefully, you could still make out what the man was saying.

"They said that if you agree to keep it secret for the company, $1000 million will be transferred to your account. Take the money and everyone will be fine."

"Just say something. If you agree, I will tell them right away. Susan, don't force them. They are all devils and can do anything."

"Eric, give me some time to think about it!" Susan's voice came out.

"Okay, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."

End of first recording...

Roy heard the key words and Susan said the man's name.

"the second!"

The hacker clicked on the second recording. The background was very quiet and sounded like it was in a room.

The man has a hoarse voice and should be quite old:
"Listen, if you insist on reporting it to the IRS normally, not only will you die, your husband will die, your daughter will die, your mother will die, your whole family will die."

Susan: “Are you threatening me?”

"I think someone has already communicated with you. I advise you not to be too stubborn. The impact this matter will bring will be unacceptable to the company's shareholders."

Susan: “I told you, I’m thinking about it!”

"I want your reply before 10 o'clock tonight!"

End of the second recording...

This time Susan did not mention the other person's name.

Irina looked at Roy: "What do you think?"

Roy said, "In the first recording, Susan mentioned Eric. This is the information she revealed. We need to start the investigation with this person named Eric."

Irina nodded slightly.

Roy continued, "In the second recording, Susan did not mention a name. I guess she didn't know the person's name."

Irina: “It’s possible.”

Roy murmured, "The man in the second recording could be the murderer, or he could be the one who sent the killer."

"What are you going to do?" Irina asked.

"No matter who it is, as long as he is involved in this, I will kill him." Roy's eyes were cold and murderous.

"You are free to use the organization's resources!" Irina said.

Roy looked at Irina: "Thank you!"

Irina smiled.

Ten minutes later, the organization's hackers transferred the recording files from the hard drive into a tape and handed it to Roy.

Roy took the tape, took out his cell phone, and walked straight out of the villa. As he walked, he said into the microphone, "Jonathan, I found something!"

Looking at Roy's departing back, Irina sighed softly and shook her head helplessly.

Serena came to her sister's side, watched Roy drive away, and said, "Aren't you going to persuade him?"

Irina looked at her sister: "Persuade him? How?"

Selina said: "Given his temper, I'm afraid Huirui is doomed. He will kill many people. This is not what the organization wants to see. In fact, it is enough to kill only the killer and the person who assigned him..."

Irina's expression gradually became serious: "If we persuade him, he will become disgusted with the organization. Besides, do you think he will listen? Has he listened to Gordon's words? Do you know what his catchphrase is?"

Serena looked at her sister, "What?"

Irina said helplessly: "Next time I will..."

Selena: “…”

After a moment of silence, Selina continued, "If he gets rid of all the senior executives of Huirui, if some important core technical personnel are involved, Huirui Pharmaceuticals will completely lose its value. Then your plan..."

"Oh, what can we do?" Irina sighed softly.

Selina looked worried: "America is going to be in chaos."

The plan against Huirui was formulated and implemented by Irina herself. The plan was not complicated and could be said to be quite simple.

The IRS assigned Susan's accounting firm to audit Pfizer, which revealed its tax problems. The IRS then issued a fine, putting Pfizer on the front page of news and exposing some other scandals, causing Pfizer's stock price to plummet.

At that time, the capital controlled by the organization would purchase a large number of Phinox shares at a low price, thereby achieving the goal of controlling its board of directors.

What the organization wants is a company with a low stock price and healthy internal operations, not an empty shell company on the verge of bankruptcy.

Killing a few people is not difficult for the organization.

But no matter which force, secret organization, or secret agency, they must abide by a basic unspoken rule: you can use normal business means, you can also use dirty business means, but you cannot achieve a certain goal through large-scale assassinations.

There are powerful forces behind Huirui. It is not a small company and can be said to be very powerful. In the United States, in addition to finance, it also has pharmaceutical and military industries.

Irina turned her head to look at her sister, thought for a long time, and said, "Send an agent to check who Eric is in the recording. Roy will definitely ask you. Investigate in advance and go ahead."

Selina said: "I still think it's not worth it. Susan is just an ordinary agent of the organization. Even if one of the elders in the highest decision-making level of the organization was killed by Huirui, it shouldn't be that serious. The rules will be disrupted..."

"Selina, you don't understand his value. Even ten Huirui companies can't compare to him." Irina murmured.

Serena turned to look at her sister, a look of shock on her face.

Across the alley from the Brooklyn Police Department.

Jonathan, who had changed into casual clothes, got into Roy's car.

The Ford SUV started and drove away.

Jonathan turned his head and looked at Roy: "What did you find?"

Roy handed Jonathan a cassette player.

Taking the Walkman, Jonathan pressed the play button.

The recording starts playing.

The more Jonathan listened, the gloomier his expression became, and the heavier his breathing became.

After listening to both recordings, Jonathan turned to look at Roy: "Who is this person named Eric?"

Roy said, "We'll know soon enough."

Jonathan nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Roy said, "Before that, you have to kill a few people first. Your gun has never been stained with human blood. I'm afraid you will be stage-frightened when the time comes."

Hearing Roy's words, Jonathan took a deep breath.

Roy continued, "Tonight, I will find a few damned people for you to practice on..."
