If I give up halfway now, they won't let me go."

Luke asked back, "So how do you plan to resolve it?"

Will closed his eyes and said helplessly, "I don't know what to do either, we'll take it step by step."

After a round of discussion, they still had no results.

Will didn't have the courage to completely abandon the task.

Luke couldn't cover for him either without using Forbeller's identity, which would not calm the three-party forces.

If he used Forbeller's identity, things could become more complicated, and the Flying Dragon Gang might even mistake Will for a Forbeller undercover.

Luke had already given him advice, whether to adopt it was his choice. The trouble was caused by himself, and he most certainly needed to deal with it on his own.

Luke could give him advice, patch up his plans, but he wouldn't stand in front for him.

However, Luke felt his trip today wasn't in vain, having learned from his cousin that Zheng Lagong was an informant for the NYPD.

This might affect Forbeller's previous deductions to some extent.

Previously, Forbeller suspected Zheng Lagong might be the mastermind behind the murders of Ma Jiansheng and Zhou Tiansheng, now he might need to add a question mark.

Luke also asked his cousin some questions about Zheng Lagong, such as the time Zheng Lagong lost contact with the NYPD and what the police speculated about Zheng Lagong's disappearance.

The next morning.

Luke, with these doubts in mind, went to Forbeller's New York office, first visiting the supervisor Negan on the 7th floor, talking for over ten minutes, then went to the criminal investigation department office.

Michael Jett was having a meeting with the team, "Hey, buddy, you're late again."

Luke laughed, "You can dock my pay."

Michael Jett "..."

Do you have any?

"I mean, you missed a major piece of news."

Luke asked, "Has the DNA identification result for Chen Ning and that corpse come out?"

"You really are a mood killer."

Michael Jett shrugged and tossed a file to Luke, "According to the test, the probability of kinship between the corpse and Chen Ning is over 99.99%, confirming they are father and daughter. The deceased is Zhou Tiansheng. Our guess was correct, he was likely killed by Zheng Lagong."

The deceased being Zhou Tiansheng was correct, but whether Zheng Lagong killed him, Luke thought, warranted a question mark.

However, Luke didn't plan to disclose Zheng Lagong's informant status with the police. This news came from his cousin Will, and if Luke told Forbeller's agents openly, it might reflect poorly on his cousin. But this information was important, and Luke needed to utilize it wisely.

"How's the proprietress Chen Yue of 'Guangli Yuet' and that assassin?"

Michael Jett replied, "The proprietress is still in intensive care, but that bastard, strong as a bull, is out of immediate danger.

I've already sent people to take his statement."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded nearby, "I guess that assassin was also sent by Zheng Lagong."

Luke frowned slightly, "Aamir Khan, why am I hearing his voice?"

Did he see a ghost?

"Advisor Li, you're not hearing things, I'm here."

Luke looked over at the voice, seeing a tablet propped up in the corner of the table, displaying Aamir Khan's face with a goofy grin.

"That's right, I'm analyzing the case via video.

I know my field duty last time left you with a bad impression.

But analyzing case traits and suspect behavior and mindset is what I'm good at."

Luke could hear his full confidence clearly through the video, smiling, "OK, I look forward to your performance."

"Knock knock."

The office door knocked twice, Michael Jett was about to speak when the door was pushed open.

Negan walked briskly into the office, "Good morning, guys."

Michael Jett smiled, "Hey, boss, here to guide us on the investigation?"

"I just received some news about Zheng Lagong."

Michael Jett asked, "From the intelligence department?"

"Never mind the source, you should focus more on the intelligence itself."

"OK, you're the boss."

Negan nodded, "From the information I received, Zheng Lagong might be an informant for the NYPD."

This news hit like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples everywhere.

Aamir Khan exclaimed, "How is that possible? How could he be a police informant?"

Michael Jett scratched his nose, "Those NYPD bastards didn't leak a thing.

Boss, can you confirm the accuracy of this news?"

"If everything was certain, what would I need you guys for?" Negan snorted, exchanging a subtle glance with Luke.

This news was told to him by Luke.

Luke only told him alone, and he promised to keep it confidential for Luke.

Luke did this for two reasons.

First, the information was very important to Forbeller, so telling only Negan posed little risk. With Negan as the supervisor of the Forbeller office, no one would suspect Luke, as Negan had too many information sources himself.

Secondly, Luke wanted to use this news to earn a favor with Negan.

The favor wasn't for himself, but for Will.

Will's issue wasn't easy to resolve, and it might need to be wrapped up by him, most likely requiring the use of Forbeller consultant identity.

At this time, letting Will register on Negan's radar can only be beneficial."

Luke was the first to know about Zheng Lagong being an informant, and he also analyzed the impact this identity change might have on the case, saying,

"If this news is true, it might introduce some variables into the case.

The first possibility is that the informant Zheng Lagong betrayed under huge profits, instructing the murders of Ma Jiansheng and Zhou Tiansheng, and extracted lots of asset whereabouts information from Zhou Tiansheng.

This aligns with our previous judgment.

The second possibility is that Zheng Lagong also encountered danger, and someone else killed Zhou Tiansheng.

If it's the second case, it involves another person, Mo Shaohong.

He accused Zheng Lagong.

His testimony is problematic, and he lied."

Michael Jett's expression was a bit unpleasant, as Mo Shaohong was someone he interrogated and even helped with his wife and daughter's immigration issues.

"Fuck!

Could I have been played?"
