Chapter 70: Chapter 70 New Issues

Driving from Bangkok to Pattaya took Mountain Eagle nearly 2 hours...

Actually, Pattaya is close to Bangkok, and one can enter the border of East and West Pattaya by following the Sukhumvit Highway.

Because the most valuable parts of Pattaya are located on the west side by the sea, West Pattaya is further divided into North District, Central District, Pashan District, South District, and Central Heaven District, that Central Heaven District...

North District is an established wealthy area, where almost all the luxurious hotels and private beaches are concentrated.

Central District is a commercial area; those who are seeking fun and entertainment will go to Central District.

And the Sky Park Apartment that Vilter purchased is in Central Heaven District, a rising affluent district in Pattaya, gathering digital nomads, elite stay-in-Thailand groups, and families from international schools from all over the world...

After arriving in Central Heaven District, Mountain Eagle didn’t hurry to take action, but drove around Sky Park Apartment, then found a vacation hotel nearby...

Since taking out Vilter, nearly a week has passed.

Vilter’s death could no longer be concealed on the third day, then on the fourth day a ’special investigation group’ arrived in Bangkok, with personnel from the United States Navy Investigation Department also taking part...

They communicated with the Bangkok police through the embassy and began to urge the Bangkok police to solve the case.

The Bangkok police had been busy with gang cases, and naturally had no time to handle...

Some people in the police team wanted to deal with it, but they were quickly reassigned by Taigore to handle gang eradication activities on the front line.

In Vilter’s case, Mountain Eagle left no evidence that could be used for verification; he was not worried about the United States finding their way to him...

However, such an efficient response from the United States side only means that Vilter’s identity was either very important or very sensitive.

Mountain Eagle couldn’t be certain of the specifics, but he decided to proceed with caution...

Check-in at the vacation hotel was very smooth; Mountain Eagle tipped the girl at the front desk a little and then got help choosing a room with a view of the sea...

The sea in Pattaya wasn’t as clean or blue as Mountain Eagle had imagined, with sparse coconut trees and the quite dirty-looking beaches, and yet many Europeans and Americans were there sunbathing.

Mountain Eagle took out a bottle of mineral water from the fridge and sat on the balcony with a laptop in his arms...

This vacation hotel wasn’t one of those luxurious ones, but being newly developed not long ago, the interior decoration was very new.

After spending some time logging onto the hotel’s network, Mountain Eagle searched for nearby real estate agencies and then picked what seemed to be a more capable one, took note of the phone number, and gave them a call...

After a series of consultations, Mountain Eagle and the agency set a time to view apartments the next morning.

The agent was extremely enthusiastic...

The female agent who answered the phone learned that Mountain Eagle wanted to buy the largest unit in Sky Park, which is a 98 square meter apartment, and she enthusiastically indicated that she could come to visit immediately and take Mountain Eagle to see the surrounding facilities of the apartment.

Agents earn commission...

A 98 square meter apartment, priced at 12 million Thai Baht, is not considered cheap even in Pattaya North District!

And such a unit wouldn’t be too numerous even in the 60-story Sky Park!

Mountain Eagle did not know the specific apartment number of Vilter’s Apartment, so he had to go through the agency to find out...

It shouldn’t be hard to find, since most Europeans and Americans come here to enjoy life leveraging the exchange rate, and they generally lack the means to buy luxury apartments in Thailand; people like Vilter Jackson, who really settled down in Thailand to engage in human trafficking crimes, are after all a minority.

Mountain Eagle declined the female agent’s kind offer, hung up the phone, closed his laptop, then lay back on the balcony’s lounge chair, resting his head on his arms and genuinely enjoyed a moment of leisure.

The weather in Thailand in November was just right, and Mountain Eagle slowly drifted to sleep in the cool sea breeze...

As Mountain Eagle was dreaming, a phone call came in...

Looking at the number on the phone, Mountain Eagle answered, "Blood Fox, what do you need from me?"

Blood Fox seemed to be drinking, his speech slightly slurred as he said, "Mountain Eagle, are you ready?"

Mountain Eagle rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up, and replied, "I’m still recovering from some injuries. What’s the matter?"

Blood Fox laughed, "No need for combat this time. I got an investigation assistance request from International Intermediary Company, and I don’t have time...

A guy named Vilter Jackson was offed in Bangkok, together with three Marine Corps soldiers from the US Army.

Thai Police have determined it’s a gang-related murder, but not everyone agrees, so they’ve placed an order for an investigator to look into how this guy really died."

Mountain Eagle was startled and completely sobered up, saying, "Aren’t investigators responsible for ’insurance investigations,’ to resolve disagreements between employers and employees?

What kind of assignment is this?"

Blood Fox chuckled, "This is a privilege for International Intermediary Company’s premium members. As long as a member voices doubts about another member’s death and is willing to pay the internal rate of remuneration, the International Intermediary Company will unconditionally distribute the task to senior investigators...

This could barely be considered an investigative task!

I’m not interested in this kind of job, but I remembered you’re in Bangkok, so I thought I’d ask if you’re willing to give it a try?"

Mountain Eagle curiously asked, "What do you mean? If the investigation subject isn’t a premium member, they can’t pay to have International Intermediary Company’s investigators investigate?"

Blood Fox continued with a laugh, "Of course, they can, but that’s a different price. Moreover, high-level investigators usually aren’t willing to take on such cases because the pay is too low and there are too many hassles...

Right now, the client is offering 30,000 US Dollars, paid in increments based on the case information you can gather...

Kid, make a trip to the scene, take some pictures, then find a way to bribe a cop to get a copy of the case file, and you can pocket at least 10,000 bucks.

You’re idle otherwise, right?"

Mountain Eagle pondered for a moment, then asked, "I happen to have some connections with the Bangkok Police Team. It would be easy to get the materials out, but can I know who wants to investigate Vilter’s cause of death?"

Blood Fox paused, left the noisy space, and found a quiet place to speak, "Mountain Eagle, are you involved with the recent shootings in Bangkok?"

Blood Fox’s words comforted Mountain Eagle...

Because by saying this, it meant he hadn’t been paying attention to Mountain Eagle’s situation in Bangkok...

This was a great trust for someone who owed three hundred thousand US Dollars!

Mountain Eagle had no intention of concealing anything, he casually stated, "To be precise, it’s related to a gang terror attack triggered by a bounty issued by Danet. I just so happened to be caught up in the fight, and now I’m a proud volunteer tourism policeman in Kamui..."

Blood Fox was stunned briefly; no matter how experienced he was, he hadn’t expected that Mountain Eagle would get involved in such bizarre incidents in Bangkok after just two months...

"Volunteer Police?

FUCK, I’ve been in Thailand for six years, seeking many people but never convincing Kamui to establish a Volunteer Tourism Police office. How did you do it?"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "I just happened to have saved the daughter of the deputy commissioner of the Royal Thai Police during the highway shootout. Then they felt that a bystander going on a killing spree damaged the image of the Thai Police Force, so..."

After listening, Blood Fox cursed a bit displeased, "Well, you got lucky then..."

Blood Fox paused to think, then spoke gravely, "According to the public report provided by Bangkok Police, Vilter’s death was related to a girl named Shasili, a key figure in bringing out Danet’s target...

Therefore, they deduced that the Bangkok gang tortured Vilter brutally to find Shasili’s whereabouts before killing him.

But now someone does not agree with this, and it might be someone from the CIA..."

Upon hearing the term CIA, Mountain Eagle was instantly alarmed...
