42: Chapter 41 Public Bus 42: Chapter 41 Public Bus Yang Yi was utterly shocked, for he had never known a person who would be willing to do anything and pay any price just to be able to die.
Shouldn’t a killer remain tight-lipped?
Shouldn’t a killer face death without fear?
Yes, this killer indeed faced death without fear, because he was eager to die.
But, shouldn’t a killer be indifferent to everything, never revealing any secrets even after being tortured over and over again?
“My na is Igo Thomas, I’m Spanish, and I joined Destroyer two years ago.
I’m not very familiar with the inner workings of Destroyer because we always operate on a need-to-know basis.
My contact person is nad Kevin Stuart, which is probably a pseudonym.
His nickna is Bass, yes, like the vehicle ‘bus’.”
The killer couldn’t wait to confess the things Danny wanted to know, but at that mont, Danny interrupted him, speaking gravely, “Need-to-know basis?
So what’s Bus’s position in Destroyer?
Is he the leader of Destroyer?”
“I don’t know, but I think he might be, because everyone listens to him.”
“Good, tell how you usually contact each other.”
“I don’t know about the others, but I have a phone number that never changes.
When there’s a task for us, Bus will call and direct to a designated eting place.
Then he’ll give the information about the person I need to kill.
After the target is eliminated and I provide him with the evidence, I’ll receive the paynt.”
“Are you saying you weren’t trained by this Bus, but joined the organization after you beca a hitman?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Do you take private jobs on the side?”
“No, private jobs are strictly forbidden.
Bus said if he found out I was taking private jobs, I’d definitely be killed.
Private jobs are very unstable, and there are enough tasks in Destroyer to keep us busy, at least two missions a year, which is what Bus promised when he recruited into Destroyer.”
“How many missions have you taken on for Destroyer?”
“Five.
This is the sixth, and also the first group operation.
It’s the first ti I’ve worked together with the other five people, so we’re all strangers to each other.
I know one of them has a very thick Welsh accent; he must be from the United Kingdom.
There’s also soone whose English is poor, probably from Eastern Europe, but I don’t know where exactly.”
“You’re doing well, keep going.
Tell in detail about your mission this ti.”
“I was called to London this ti.
It was Bus who summoned us.
He said there was an urgent mission.
The employer demanded that a group of corporate spies be killed within twenty-four hours, and the item demanded by the employer recovered, which is a piece of confidential information, probably hidden in a computer or hard drive.
We’d have to capture the spies and get the information out of them.
The total paynt was six million British Pounds to be split among the six of us after the job.”
“Then what?”
“Then, Bus gave us an address and the na of a man, John Jones.
The six of us went to his ho and found him.
The interrogation wasn’t optimistic because we all felt he truly didn’t know where the information was; he didn’t even know what was happening.
But we got the nas and addresses of three other people, one of whom was a computer hacker.
We all thought the intelligence might be with the hacker, so we decided to split up, kill them all and find the item.
Then the paynt would be split.”
“Go on.”
“I went to a man nad Ryan’s ho.
The two of us found out more, and that’s when we learned John Jones had lied.
There weren’t just four spies but seven.
He had hidden the fact that he had an ex-wife and a daughter, as well as a newcor.
According to the employer’s instructions, we had to kill these three as well.
So we split up again.
I stayed to continue the interrogation and killed Ryan, while my partner went after the woman, the older one.”
Kate was already starting to shake.
Yang Yi held her shoulder, and after glancing at them, Danny spoke indifferently, “What’s his na?”
“Peggy, I only know this na.
He went to kill the woman and ca back injured, with a gunshot wound.
The team that went after the hacker had failed; they didn’t find the hacker.
But Peggy had seen the woman’s cell phone and noted down a few phone numbers.
We then tracked these numbers through the phone company and eventually managed to follow them.
However, the operation went wrong; we had to capture the hacker alive to get the information, but one person died, and another was injured during the action.”
Danny nodded, as things fell into place from here.
He said sternly, “Continue.”
“We temporarily lost track of them during the chase, but we quickly found the whereabouts of the man and woman.
They had taken refuge in a nice restaurant.
We originally wanted to go in and kill them directly, but that Steve Marvin, the guy with the Welsh accent, said you can’t go into a nice restaurant, let alone kill soone there.
He said it was taboo, but he didn’t know why, just that one must never cause trouble in a nice restaurant.”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Danny’s mouth as he murmured, “You really should have listened to Steve, but clearly you didn’t.
So what happened next?”
“We decided not to enter the nice restaurant but to keep watch outside.
We discovered the two had checked into a hotel, so we tapped the hotel’s phones.
After a day, Bus told us we might not receive the paynt because the employer had already obtained the information.
Naturally, this was infuriating.
Bus said he would negotiate with the employer, but we still had to complete the employer’s request, which was to kill all the mbers of the spy ring.
Therefore, Peggy, who was vehent about it, insisted on killing those two hiding in the hotel, and then… then they did it…”
“Who did it?”
“Peggy.”
Danny took a deep breath and said, “Peggy, his na is Peggy.
Alright, Torres, tell where Bus t with you, and his phone number.
Don’t tell you can’t contact him.”
“I have his phone number, but our eting places have always been different.
However, three tis it was in Paris.”
“Three tis in Paris?”
“Yes.”
“Describe what he looks like to .
Can you draw it?”
“I can’t draw, but I can help you piece together his appearance, like the police sketching a suspect’s profile.
Is that alright?”
“That’s fine.
Let’s start now.”
“Wait, wait!”
Torres sighed, and then he looked at Danny and said, “I have no hope of leaving alive, but how can you guarantee that after I speak, I won’t be tortured?
How can you assure ?”
