Chapter 481: FBI Agen (2/2)
According to various clues pieced together by the FBI, Yang Xingdong was an indulgent student in his youth. He once hired a Japanese prostitute. It was unknown what transpired during the affair, but the two had an argument which ended with Yang Xingdong killing her in anger.
A week later, Yang Xingdong prepared a delicious meal for everyone at the club! The members had tasted all sorts of meat, but not this one. At the end of their meal, Yang Xingdong finally revealed they had consumed human flesh.
To everyone’s horror, Yang Xingdong loudly declared human flesh as the most delicious delicacy in the world and scoffed at the meat they usually ate. What he said was, “Now that you’ve tasted human flesh, you won’t be able to go back to that rubbish you call food! Join me in pursuing the ultimate delicacy!”
Even if they had eaten all sorts of rare animals, no one could accept such avant-garde ideas. Several members even threw up on the spot. Under pressure from his guilty conscience, a member eventually turned himself into the police. As a result, the club was disbanded.
At the first signs of trouble, Yang Xingdong immediately fled back to China. This incident shocked the animal protection organizations and the FBI who immediately intervened in the investigation. These gourmets were sentenced for their crimes. The FBI contacted the Chinese police, hoping to arrest Yang Xingdong. Unfortunately, his whereabouts remained unknown until Louis came across the wanted notice issued by us. In order to cooperate with our investigation, he flew out to China first thing.
Louis shook his head, ”I never expected things to turn out like this. Yang Xingdong has really degenerated into a man-eating demon.”
”No wonder he worships Darwin. It’s because of his background.”
Lao Yao bluntly interjected, ”You won't help us by sharing stories. Show us some advanced equipment from the FBI!”
If Louis were a handsome man, Lao Yao would certainly reign in that attitude.
Louis smiled, ”In fact, we’re just ordinary agents, not as fascinating as what you see in Hollywood movies. But we have investigated Yang Xingdong for many years so I may have some information that can help you.”
The data projected on the white screen was all written in English. Louis explained that Yang Xingdong actually switched identities several times. He came from a middle-class family but got rich quick and all of a sudden. We could begin by investigating the source of his funds and use the information the FBI had.
”Alright, let’s get to it then,” instructed Xiaotao. “Bingxin, here’s a task for you. Agent Liu has come all the way so you should take him out for a good meal. I’ll reimburse you later.”
”Why me?” protested Bingxin. “Is it because I’m the only idle one in the team?”
”As far as our current investigation is concerned, you are indeed!” admitted Xiaotao.
As an American, Louis was very direct. Upon hearing Xiaotao’s words, his eyes shone with excitement, ”I have long heard about the famous Sichuan hotpot in China. I would like to try it if I can.”
Bingxin's expression did a 180 as she jumped up eagerly. ”I love that! Chongqing Hotpot City serves a really delicious Sichuan hotpot! It’s just across the station.”
Drooling with envy, Lao Yao raised his hand and asked, ”Ma’am, can I be given this glorious and arduous task?”
”You’re too late!” Xiaotao smirked.
As a self-proclaimed foodie, Louis ecstatically debated which hotpot soup base was the best. As soon as Bingxin and Louis left the room, I voiced my doubts, ”Is he really an FBI agent? All of a sudden, we have the FBI! Why do I feel like we’re in a movie?”
”He has the official documents and certificates. Don’t worry, I even called to confirm his identity,” assured Xiaotao.
”Our first case and we’re working with an international agent! But why didn’t they send a handsome guy... ” lamented Lao Yao.
