Homo sapiens.

Jayne glanced at Catherine, then laughed: "Ms. Catherine has gained a lot from this trip, right?"

"I'm just doing things for the company. After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy." Catherine replied with a smile.

Jayne wasn't angry about this, as long as it didn't affect the interests of the company, he didn't really care if Catherine made small moves during the secret talks.

In this pleasant atmosphere.

In the mezzanine of the conference room ceiling, a tiny signal receiver suddenly lit up a red light.

Hundreds of kilograms of TNT were instantly detonated under the excitation of the circuit device.

Boom boom boom...

Jayne, Catherine and the others were chatting and laughing one second, and were blown to pieces the next second, and the upper and lower three floors of the conference room were blown down.

Other areas of the ADM headquarters also instantly felt the shock wave and roar of the explosion.

"Oh my God!"

"Ah..."

"Call 911..."

Some people in the surrounding outdoors suddenly screamed and saw the raging fire of the ADM building after the explosion.

at the same time.

On a hillside two kilometers away from the ADM headquarters.

Hook put down the binoculars in his hand, then pressed a special button on his hand, and continued to grill.

In a tree near the ADM headquarters, a big black mouse bit off a white thread, then quickly jumped out of the tree hole and ran towards the distant forest.

And the sound of a ticking mechanical alarm clock began to sound in the tree hole. About 60 seconds later, a bottle of special thermite was ignited in the tree hole, and the flames quickly swallowed all the electronic equipment in the tree hole.

In the pickup truck.

Hook took a sip of hot coffee, and then fed a large handful of dog biscuits to a dozen big black mice in the cage of the carriage. Suddenly, a mouse jumped out of the bushes not far away and ran to his feet. side.

"My little one, welcome home."

Gently place the rat in its cage, grab a handful of beef jerky and dog biscuits from the feed bucket, and place it on a special small plate.

The mouse happily gnawed at the food.

But Hook didn't rush, and continued to admire the flames soaring into the sky in the distance.

Amidst the thick smoke and the panicked crowd in the city, it seemed that some demon was crawling out of the flames.

"This is the real business war." He had a weird smile on his face, and then he raised the hot coffee in his hand and drank it.

……

More than a dozen fire trucks came at a gallop.

Stimulated by ADM's banknotes, hundreds of firefighters worked hard to spray water jets against the cold wind and flames to suppress the blazing flames.

It was not until late in the evening that the fire was completely extinguished.

In the setting sun like blood in the sun.

Philip, the head of the FBI in the area, had a dark complexion. Looking at the ADM headquarters building in ruins, he knew that he would definitely be kicked down.

People from the technical department were already wearing explosion-proof suits, and entered the building cautiously, searching for all evidence.

As for the middle-aged white man beside Philip, although he kept his face straight, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Jayne, Catherine and others must be finished. Maybe my position can go a step further. God is really on my side." Ohm thought excitedly in his heart.

Philip patted his forehead, and then glanced at Ohm who was in a daze. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked indifferently:

"Mr. Ohm, can I ask a few questions?"

Ohm, who was in a daze, suddenly became agitated. After seeing Philip beside him, he realized:

"Uh... As long as it doesn't involve company secrets, I can answer some things I know."

'"OK." Philip pressed his recorder, and then asked: "Has there been any abnormalities in ADM recently? I mean any enemies."

"In this regard..." Ohm didn't know how to answer. It can't be said that there are many forces in the world who want the ADM to explode in place.

After all, in order to develop the company into such a world-class grain merchant, it will definitely offend a lot of vested interests in the process.

"Okay! I understand." Philip also knew that he asked a stupid question, so he changed the subject directly:

"Then the next question, what are the areas of the five floors that were bombed?"

欧姆想了想回道：“4楼全球联系中心、5楼是大会议室、6楼是小会议室和资料档案室、7楼是总裁办公室和图书室、8楼是总裁的休息室、运动室。”

Philip looked at the explosion area of ​​the building, and roughly estimated that the center of the explosion was near the small meeting room. Obviously, the target of the other party was the executive of ADM.

And Ohm hawed and hawed on many issues, which made Philip very helpless. He knew that such a big company must have a lot of shady secrets, but this also brought many difficulties to the investigation work.

The bombing of the ADM headquarters suddenly made the four major grain merchants feel uneasy, and at the same time disrupted many of their plans.

Chapter 90 Ebb and flow

After the ADM executives were invited to take the earth plane, the other three ABCD companies were also panicking at this time, and they all increased their vigilance.

However, the FBI's investigation was in trouble, mainly because of how the bomb entered the building, and no problem was found.

Decatur City Recently, a large group of FBI conducted a blanket search of the entire city and surrounding areas.

Philip, who was in charge of the local FBI work, was not placed on administrative leave, but continued to preside over the investigation. It wasn't that his boss took care of him, but that this matter was a big trouble now, and no one was willing to take over.

After watching the surveillance video for three days, Philip rubbed his dry eyes, then picked up the black coffee beside him.

"Head, the results of the explosives analysis have come out. It is 133-135 kilograms of TNT. The location of the explosion is on the ceiling of that conference room." Assistant Kelly walked in with a report.

Philip didn't mean to look through it, because based on the explosion situation at the scene and years of experience, his assessment and test reports were almost indistinguishable.

"I just want to know, how did the murderer install more than 130 kilograms of TNT on the ceiling of that meeting room without being discovered by ADM employees?"

Kelly shrugged: "According to the time sheet provided by ADM, there are meetings in that meeting room every week, and the cleaners will clean it once a day."

"Where's the latest inspection record?" Philip put down his coffee.

"Two light bulbs were replaced 76 days ago and a projector was replaced 153 days ago, which is the most recent inspection record."

Detective Jin from the technical department took out a structural drawing of the building obtained from the construction contractor, including the original structural drawing and the renovated structural drawing.

Jin pointed to the floor where the explosion occurred and said: "This meeting room only has two doors and four windows. Other air-conditioning and cooling ducts, heating ducts, electrical wiring ducts, etc., do not have the possibility of sneaking in, unless the other party is a group of people. mouse."

Philip didn't take Jin's cold joke to heart, but gave the most reasonable answer based on his own experience:

"The murderer must be very familiar with the situation at the ADM headquarters, and is most likely someone inside ADM."

Jin also nodded at this. Their technical department carefully analyzed all the monitoring data within one kilometer of the building for the past year, and still did not find any suspicious outsiders.

Since the suspicion of outsiders is very small, doesn't that prove that this matter is most likely an internal problem of ADM.

After all, dozens of kilograms of TNT had to be sent into the building without being discovered. From the perspective of everyone in the FBI, the murderer must have certain influence within ADM, otherwise it would be impossible to explain.

Although Philip felt that Ohm, the current interim president of ADM, had the motive and suspicion of committing the crime, it was not so easy to investigate the executives of a large company.

After investigating here, it seems to have entered a dead end.

The attack on ADM executives also made the food war plan in Southeast Asia, which was originally implemented, appear to be significantly stuck.

Of course, ABCD's response speed is also very fast. Bunge and Cargill quickly took over the initiative of ADM's plan, allowing the food war to continue steadily.

Li Qingye was not surprised by this either, these guys will not stop easily.

……

19, April 11.

Hongshawadi, Dawei Port.

Aoba Group Headquarters.

With the unremitting efforts of Yang Mengjiao, Domino and others, the Hongshawadi branch has completely controlled the Golden Triangle area at this time.

In addition, by supporting the spider web managers and soldiers, they secretly controlled many warlords and members of big families in Hongshawadi.

At this time, the economy of Dawei Port became more and more prosperous.

As the mainstay of the local economy, Aoba Group has also become the uncrowned king of this land.

In the basement of the Emerald Manor in Dawei Port.

Yang Mengjiao and Domino recently secretly returned to the headquarters from Shan State in the north.

As soon as the two returned to the headquarters, they were arranged to have a physical examination to check their physical condition, especially Domino, who had AIDS, had a careful comprehensive physical examination.

Ma Chi saw the two of them coming out of the medical room, and greeted them with a smile: "You guys are doing well in the north, you have completely taken down the entire Shan State."

Yang Mengjiao sneered: "Just kidding, even those rubbish are worthy of fighting us? If it wasn't for the fear of being exposed, I would have wiped out that group of rubbish two months ago."

"By the way, the boss has developed a target drug that can treat AIDS. It is currently undergoing human testing. It is estimated that it will be available in a few months." Ma Chi told Yang Mengjiao the good news.

A trace of excitement flashed in Yang Mengjiao's eyes.

Domino on the side patted her on the shoulder: "Trust the boss's skills, let's go to the conference room to talk about the branch."

After arriving in the meeting room, Yang Mengjiao regained her composure. She turned on the large screen on the mural and projected the map of the entire Hongshawadi on it.

At this time, Hongshawadi's map was divided into large and small blocks by the four colors of red, white and blue.

Among them, the dark red area represents the absolute control area of ​​the Hongshawadi Division, and the light red striped area represents the seepage area of ​​the Hongshawadi Division.

The white area represents the Honshawadi official power, and the blue area represents the warlord-controlled area.

"The areas of absolute control we currently have include Tanintharyi Province, Mon State, Karen State, Kayah State, and Shan State."

"The infiltration area includes Ayeyarwady Province, Yangon Province, Bago Province, Pyinmana District, Mandalay Province, Magway Province, and Sagaing Province. These areas also highly overlap with the official Honshawady control area. "

"The infiltration has not been completed, but the areas with intelligence stations are only in Rakhine State, Kachin State, and Chin State."

Ma Chi asked, "How many troops do you have?"

Yang Mengjiao made some calculations: "In the absolute control area, there are currently 12 regular troops and 32 militiamen; in the infiltration area, there are about 6.3 people who can guarantee control."

"It seems that the net is almost ready." Ma Chi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Are you sure?" Domino asked hesitantly.

"Don't you think it's a godsend opportunity now? Hongshawadi's coastal areas have been partially closed to varying degrees because of the hostile relationship with America, not to mention the inland areas. In addition, this place has traditions, so we can fish in troubled waters." .”

Ma Chi has studied the world situation at this time and found that this is a difficult window period. He then added:

"The collision between the great powers is intensifying now. America's influence on some areas is fading, and the neighbors in the north will not dare to stretch out their hands blatantly for a while. We can just go all out and completely take down the entire Hongshawadi. After all, this is not Luzon, but there is no normal way to get to the top, we can only use this way to win Hongshawadi."

Yang Mengjiao nodded: "Indeed, it's fine to cut the mess straight away. Anyway, our people have already occupied many core positions. As long as the speed is fast enough, we can completely create a fait accompli before the outside world reacts."

Domino, who thought for a while, didn't object, but suggested: "Our people can't be directly involved."

"What do you mean?" Ma Chi asked thoughtfully.

Domino reminded: "The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind, Wu Kaile is eyeing that position, and he is also very dissatisfied with some of Binmana's behaviors."

"I understand." Ma Chi immediately realized.

Yang Mengjiao also guessed what Domino was thinking.

Chapter 91 Pushing the Waves

19, April 11.

Hong Shavadi.

Central, Mandalay, the capital of Mandalay Province.

As the capital of Hongshawadi in the past dynasties, many local big family forces are intertwined here, and it is also the core area of ​​warlord forces.

There are more than a dozen big families in the local area, but there is only one local warlord, or one faction, which is the Wu Kaile faction that Domino mentioned earlier.

Wu Kaile controls eight divisions in various parts of the north. He is one of the important powerful factions within Hongshawadi, and he is an ally with the Maungu faction currently guarding Shan State.

Of course, the Maungu faction at this time has been controlled by Homo sapiens.

In Wu Kaile's private estate, he was watching a few servants cutting stones. This is one of his hobbies, playing with stones.

Of course, the emerald industry is actually one of the pillar industries of Wu Kaile’s family, controlling about 30% of the output of the entire emerald mining area, and the remaining 70% is controlled by the Kachin Army.
