Concurrently, Filex also took care of the remaining bodyguards. The manor, which was bustling moments ago, fell into an awkward silence at this moment. The only thing left was the strong and pungent smell of blood.
As for Filex and the other three, they were panting. Their faces were covered with blood, and they had injuries all over their bodies. Among them, the corner of Filex's face was also slashed by a bullet, and it had left a scar. He was so close to getting hit by the bullet and it was extremely dangerous.
"So how is it?" Seeing Fade returning, Eilert asked in a hurry.
"Everything is fine, I've taken care of it."
Filex's eyes lit up when he saw this, and it was as if he wanted to say something.
However, Cindy interrupted, "Since the enemies have retreated, let's search the manor and see if we can find any clues."
Eilert also nodded and urged, "We have to be quick. The police will be arriving shortly."
Therefore, the five of them entered the manor and began to flip through everything they could get their hands on.
However, the moment they heard the sirens from afar, the five of them quickly left the manor and headed into the tea garden, disappearing into the darkness.
It didn't take long for the five of them to return to their hotels. Their clothes were tattered and they looked a little unkempt.
Back in the room, before they went to rest, Eilert looked at everyone and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
"Nothing. I've searched the study room but found nothing."
"I searched the basement, but I couldn't find anything useful."
"Neither did I!"
"Me too. I didn't find anything."
Everyone started to speak, and then their eyes naturally fell on Fade, who was the last one to speak.
Seeing this, he shook his head gently and said, "I didn't find anything either."
Upon hearing this, Cindy and Eilert sighed. They looked a little regretful and disappointed, but they did not say anything.
As for Filex, after hearing Fade's words, his expression suddenly changed. He glared at him and uttered angrily, "Did you not find the clue, or did you deliberately hide it?"
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
Fade's eyes turned cold. He stared at Filex and asked in a cold manner, "Captain Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
Filex snorted and glared at him, saying, "Don't you know what I mean?"
"How would I know? What are you trying to imply here?" Fade frowned.
At this very moment, Eilert and Cindy also tried to persuade them.
"Captain Zhao, what are you doing? We're teammates."
"Alright, initially this was also what I thought. This was the superior's orders and I didn't question it."
"But now, after arriving in Osko City, look at what he has done. He went straight to territories filled with our people, and burned down an entertainment house. What is he doing? Is he trying to beat the Jopeno people or ours?"
"Also, our investigation team was originally a secret, but what is he planning to do by making such a huge fuss? Is he afraid that the Jopeno people don't know that we are here on an investigation mission?"
"This, this..." Hearing this, Eilert's face changed a little, and he couldn't help but look at Fade a few more times.
Filex was very emotional and continued, "Eilert, think about it. We had spent so much effort contacting all of our intelligence agents and we couldn't get anything out of it but he just went to the entertainment house and he got a clue. Do you really think that clue is so easy to retrieve?"
Speaking of this, Eilert's expression became more grim.
Cindy, who was with Fade, could not help defending Fade at this time. "Captain Zhao, it's not what you think. Mr. Chen and I had analyzed the situation and that was only why we went to the entertainment house to investigate. They brought a ton of people, and if Mr. Chen was not there, we would not be able to get those clues "
Hearing that, Filex glared at Cindy and continued, "Well, as you said, you got the clue, but what happened next?"
"We followed the clues and came to the tea garden to look for Genkiro. However, we returned empty- handed and we were ambushed. If we weren't lucky, we might have had our corpses buried in their manor."
"Could Genkiro be that informative and know that we were going to sneak into his place? They had so many bodyguards armed at the moment. Do you think this is normal?"
Eilert's face was very gloomy at this time. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He could only stare at Fade.
On the other hand, Cindy was terribly anxious. She couldn't help but defend Fade, "Then, that was an accident. Genkiro is the chief of the Hachi Clan of the Osko branch. It is very normal for his manor to be well secured. This doesn't prove that Mr. Chen is a spy."
