Chapter 491 - 491: The Company Captains Running Around in circles
The captain picked up the note and read it several times. The font was unfamiliar.
He stood up and checked every corner of his office. Someone had come in. How did they get in? Who would report it anonymously?
The captain didn’t want to be distracted, but since there was such a thing, it would be inappropriate not to investigate. When he picked up the phone again, he dialed the number of the captain of the third brigade.
After receiving the call, they said that they would verify it immediately.
The captain sat on the chair and pondered. He did not look for Ape 2222 again. No matter how anxious he was, he had to wait for the reply from the Third Brigade.
If this news was true and there was really a mole over there, his contribution would be halved if he went to do something else.
He had deliberately emphasized on the phone just now that he had to reply to any messages.
Not long after, there was news from the third team. The person who was reported was gathering some people from other teams for a meeting. He was acting suspiciously.
The captain couldn’t sit still anymore. He immediately set off for the third brigade. He had to get such a huge credit!
After the captain arrived, he began to interrogate the third captain. The final result of the interrogation was that they were helping the higher-ups investigate and find people who might know the news.
He also obtained another clue. A note appeared at the place where they were meeting. On it were some names.
The two captains then found the captain of the second brigade and began to investigate. After that, they found new clues and continued to investigate. This went back and forth for a long time, and in the end, he wasted an entire day.
What made the captain of the Sixth Brigade the angriest was that after a whole day, the final clue pointed to Ape 2222. He hated himself for not looking for Ape 2222 at the beginning. If he did, all the credit would have been his.
And now? All the captains of the 7th Ape City were gathered together. No matter what the credit was, it would be shared by everyone. Since everyone had contributed, what was the point?
What happened next was a spectacular scene. All the captains of Ape 7 City, including the three main captains, arrived at the area under Ape 2222’s jurisdiction. They searched around but could not find him.
In the end, she found Ling in the meeting room!
Fourth Brother was also pitiful. There were so many people on the list, and he had to sort out the order of everyone’s transmission. He also had to clearly mark everyone’s position and team. With such a huge workload, Fourth Brother did it alone and did not dare to ask for help.
This! After a day of work, they were finally done tidying up. Just as they were about to finish, the door of the conference room was kicked open.
The three head captains and a group of great captains all entered.
Fourth Brother had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that he couldn’t speak.
As the captain of the sixth team, he took the lead and said,”lsn’t this Fourth
Brother? Where is your squad leader, Ape 2222?”
Fourth Brother realized that something might have happened. His entire body trembled as he said, “I don’t know. He asked me to sort out the list here. I don’t know where he went.”
The captains looked at each other.
“Arrange the list? What list?”
When he heard the name list, Fourth Brother immediately recovered. That’s right, Ape 2222 wasn’t here. Did that mean that he was suspicious and monopolized the credit for helping the higher-ups investigate? Then, he could use Ape 2222 as a scapegoat and might even be cleared of suspicion.
Looking at the clean and tidy name list, Fourth Brother was full of confidence. There’s hope now. Ape 2222, I told you to put down so much work and leave on your own. I’ll definitely kill you this time.
‘ Captain,” Fourth Brother said,” I’ve compiled all the names here. It has nothing to do with Ape2222.’”‘
When the captain heard this, he was furious and said, “You’re still helping Apepe222 get away with it!”
The captain strode forward and subdued Fourth Brother.
Fourth Brother was stunned. What was going on? He should have done it!
He quickly explained,” Leaders, I think there’s some misunderstanding between us. This list is of everyone who knows about the news. I’ll help you sort it out.”
The captain threw a punch at him.” Help us tidy up? Look at the list. Everyone on the list is a suspect. Arrest them all!”
Fourth Brother was stunned. Didn’t he say that he had contributed? How could they all be suspects? This time, Fourth Brother couldn’t remain calm and wanted to explain again.
The captain didn’t give him a chance to explain and brought him back for interrogation.
In the beginning, Fourth Brother had thrown all the dirty water on MO Li, saving that MO Li had told them all the information on the list and that he was only helping his superiors organize the list.
At this time, Fourth Brother had not told the truth and was still greedy for credit.
After a few rounds of torture by the captain, Fourth Brother finally realized the crux of the problem.
Now was not the time to snatch credit. There was no credit in doing this. Now was the time to see if he could save his life.
In the end, Fourth Brother couldn’t hold it in and told the truth.
The group of captains arranged for people to search for MO Li’s whereabouts while interrogating Fourth Brother.
After listening to Brother Four’s story, all the team leaders in the team started to suspect that the investigation was going in the wrong direction. They were only assisting in the investigation to protect themselves?
Based on Ling’s current state, he shouldn’t be lying.
Just as the captains were thinking, Fourth Brother muttered something.
“Which son of a b * tch reported us? We were clearly kind.”
This sentence did not have any practical meaning, but it reminded all the captains present that they were right! Who was the person who reported it? He must have participated in their meeting to know such details.
He also led all the captains in circles step by step. This person knew a lot of information and wanted to buy time.
He knew the name list but had yet to show up.
The sixth captain slapped his thigh and said regretfully, ‘”‘This person must be Ape 2222. He deliberately released this information to confuse the public.
Hurry up and search. Don’t let him escape!”
At this moment, everyone understood that MO Li didn’t want to save the people on the list at all. He wanted to use their meeting as a distraction.
MO Li’s trick was very clever. After the captain was cleared of suspicion, who was the next person to be investigated? It was the squad leader.
However, MO Li did not want the captain to investigate him so quickly. What if he wanted to stall for time?
The resources that he could use were the people that Fourth Brother had found for the meeting. If he reported them anonymously, it would distract the captain’s attention.
These people were all at the bottom of the hierarchy, and they had left clues everywhere. By the time they investigated MO Li, it would have taken them a long time. It would definitely take more time than the captain investigating the captain directly.
All the troops from Ape 7 City were fighting for time.
Every step was calculated accurately, and he analyzed the hearts of the participants.
This was the biggest matter in Ape 7 City. After this matter was over, there might be a major reshuffle among the higher-ups in the city.
In order not to be washed away, every captain hoped to have a contribution in their hands.
That was why so many captains followed a clue everywhere. No one wanted to give up the credit..
