LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 301 Multilateral Cooperation
Daniel eventually "persuaded" personnel from the FBI to get the New York Major Case Squad involved in the case.
He and his partner Ailin quickly finished processing that unlucky guy and then followed him to the FBI's New York headquarters.
The interior of the FBI's New York headquarters was much more modern than the police station's. Daniel, munching on a bag of chips, was finally led into a renovated conference room.
By that time, several people were already standing in the conference room. Noting that most were in crisply tailored suits, Daniel consciously headed over to a scruffy looking guy. He sucked the potato chip residue from his fingers and wiped his hands on his clothes before extending his hand and saying, "Daniel Regan, New York Major Case Squad."
The scruffy middle-aged man was Serial, who had been following Joe Ga. He glanced at Daniel's still unclean palm, and with a look of disgust, shook his hand before saying, "Serial Banks, Interpol."
Curious, Daniel said, "Interpol? Are you guys also interested in the Jackal Wolf?"
Seeing Daniel's obvious lack of knowledge, Serial laughed and said, "You seem to have missed the point."
Realization dawned on an admittedly confused Daniel. "Your target is the 'Glorious Society,' right?"
Serial looked at Daniel, whose expression was a grimace, shook his head, and pointed towards the FBI official with the highest rank, the small-mustached man who had fished out the unlucky fellow....
When the small-mustached man saw that everyone had arrived, he clapped his hands emphatically and said, "Hey, gentlemen, look at me. I'm Tom Cooper, and you can call me 'Mr. Cooper' or 'Sir'.
I'm in charge of the investigation regarding the 'Glorious Society,' so I need everyone to work together, share all information, and completely dismantle the Glorious Society's network in America.
We are aware of what the Glorious Society has done in Europe, and we cannot allow them to extend their reach into America."
Small-mustached Cooper glanced at Serial and said to everyone, "This morning, while we were tracking the Jackal Wolf, we encountered some obstructions. His bodyguards were former members of the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team; they are very familiar with our operating procedures.
We expressed our views indirectly, but the feedback we got was not very promising.
This is Serial Banks, an Interpol detective who specializes in the investigation of the Glorious Society. He's been tracking the Jackal for quite a while, so let's hear what he has to say."
Serial stepped forward and took a folder from his assistant Leslie, pulling out several photos and attaching them to a whiteboard.
As he pointed to a picture of Joe Ga, he said, "This is the Jackal, owner of the P·B military contracting company, with significant industries in Central Africa. It was he who dismantled the Glorious Society's drug trafficking route in Africa, forcing them to look elsewhere for new routes.
Right now, the Glorious Society has yet to settle scores with the Colombians in Spain, but according to our intelligence, a large quantity of HLY has recently appeared on the American market, indicating the Glorious Society has found a breakthrough in Eastern Europe."
Daniel suddenly raised his hand and said, "So this Jackal dismantled the Glorious Society's drug line. Does that make him a drug lord?
I can't figure out why a military contracting company would do such a thing."
Serial glanced at Daniel, who seemed the least informed on the scene. Shaking his head, he said, "To my knowledge, the Jackal is not a drug dealer. From the outset, he's shown very high credibility. He's accomplished many things in Central Africa that even the Africa Government has not.
In fact, his anti-drug efforts in Africa were not solely against the Glorious Society; he took a non-discriminatory approach, meticulously fulfilling his contract with the African Union."
Shrugging his shoulders, Serial smiled and continued, "I don't know why he despises drug dealers so much, but his actions have actually led to a global rise in drug prices and angered the Glorious Society.
If you just look at the files, his actions seem illogical, as the risks are too great for the benefits to be minimal.
However, I believe that anyone who delves into what P·B has done will end up tipping their hat to him.
Gentlemen, the Jackal's identity is still that of a mercenary, but he's been doing meaningful things. It is necessary to maintain respect for him!"
As he spoke, Serial tapped on a picture of a greeting and another covert photo taken at the airport, saying, "The Jackal is not our target, the Glorious Society is.
I once went undercover with the Mori Family in Italy and had dealings with people from the Glorious Society, but in the end, all those people died.
The Mori Family's youngest daughter used the DEA to eliminate the Glorious Society's key person in Italy, then forced the Glorious Society into negotiations. Eventually, the Mori Family handed over their own drug trafficking channels to the Glorious Society, acquiring over 50 million US Dollars in funding.
It was at that point that I was kicked out of the Mori Family and returned to my regular job, then began pursuing the Glorious Society."
The Glorious Society can be called a syndicate; whenever one branch falls, others will quickly fill the gap.
They're involved in a series of nefarious activities including drug smuggling, human trafficking, organ farming, and arms smuggling.
Police from various countries have caught members of the Glorious Society, but have never been able to locate the masterminds behind the scenes."
```
So far, the biggest loss Glorious Society has suffered has been caused by P·B.
The drug line from Africa has very low costs, Glorious Society cannot possibly give it up, so they will definitely seek trouble with Hu Lang. That's why I have been following him until this person slipped up at Kennedy Airport and I grasped a lead.
Unfortunately, my guy lost him in the downtown area of Manhattan, we currently do not know this guy's location, nor do we know how he will deal with Hu Lang, hence I need the FBI's help.
They will certainly target Hu Lang again, but if possible, we must unearth this guy first; otherwise, New York will definitely become a battlefield.
Gentlemen, I said Hu Lang is a decent person, but that does not mean he is not dangerous.
He is the warrior leader of hundreds of elite soldiers, such a person acts and thinks in ways that are different from ordinary people.
Once Glorious Society starts a war with Hu Lang in New York, the outcome will surely be very bad!"
FBI's Cooper shook hands with Serial, his expression solemn, then turned to Daniel, whose complexion was also not looking good, and said, "You said you have some leads regarding Hu Lang and Glorious Society, now it's your turn..."
Daniel, reeking of the street, tugged at his earlobe and walked up to the podium.
He took out a photo of a corpse from a folder and stuck it on the whiteboard, saying, "This woman was an airport customs officer. She had a conflict with Hu Lang and his people at Kennedy Airport, and then was found dead at her home the next day.
When I was questioning the husband of the deceased, I found $10,000 in cash that he had hidden, then he admitted that someone gave them $10,000 to cause trouble for the people with Hu Lang at the airport, specifically the woman named Ayu.
I think someone wants to mislead the police to investigate Hu Lang, but no matter how much I asked, the husband of the deceased refused to disclose who gave them the money, insisting that Hu Lang's people were the killers."
As he spoke, Daniel looked at Cooper, whose face was not looking too good, and spread his hands, saying, "I said before, I only have leads!
If those targeting Hu Lang are from Glorious Society, then they must want to use the New York police to achieve some purpose.
If needed, I can detain the husband of the deceased; he must have a clue on him."
Upon hearing this, Serial nodded and said, "One person cannot control such a big plan, this discovery proves there's a Glorious Society branch in New York.
According to the standards of the New York police, Hu Lang will become a murder suspect, and then..."

Inside the Waldorf Hotel...
Joe Ga had just run 8 kilometers in the gym and was heading back to his room when two policemen, led by a Waldorf official, approached him.
The official was a middle-aged woman. She diligently reminded Joe Ga that if he needed assistance, the hotel would provide him with a lawyer, then she allowed the two officers in front of Joe Ga.
Looking at the two policemen who flashed their badges and then took out several photos of corpses, claiming that he was involved in a murder case and hoping he would go to the police station to assist with the investigation...
Joe Ga narrowed his eyes in thought, gestured for 'Spur' and his men to stay put, then nodded and said, "If it's just to assist with the investigation, then I need my lawyer present. I don't need to go in a police car, do I?"
A brown-haired policeman nodded and said, "Of course, thank you for cooperating with us, we will wait for you at the hotel's main entrance."
Back in the room, Wagner was the first to object...
"Boss, the police have no direct evidence; this matter can be handled by me. The hotel can completely prove that we didn't leave during the time of the murder."
Joe Ga glanced at 'Jackal' and 'Medic Officer Bird', shook his head, and said, "But two of our people have left the hotel. I have to meet an important figure tomorrow, I can't go there with the status of a suspect.
We'll go together to the police station to clarify the matter. The kind of official harassment I was worried about before coming here is now happening—it's time for you guys to play your roles."
Speaking, Joe Ga looked at 'Jackal' who wore a sorry expression. He smiled and said, "You and 'Medic Officer Bird' go to the hospital and get the surveillance. With the alibi, we should be able to clear our suspicion.
This is someone causing trouble for me, and I want to see who exactly is behind this and find out their purpose for doing so.
What use could such disgusting tricks have…"
After finishing his words, Joe Ga realized something, slapped his head, and said to Dorian, "Go get my suitcase, everyone change outfits.
King Kong and I have to go as the involved parties, Elephant and Devil Bird drive nearby in support. I feel there's an issue, but I can't quite put my finger on it..."
