I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3209: Chapter 3201: Looking for Cowell?

"But who would kill our people for no reason?" Helk said:

"Before we came, I already talked to Maldi on the phone. Their operations in Zhong Hai were very secretive, not discovered by the Central Guards Brigade. Even if someone wanted to act, they would target Maldi and Joyce; Cowell isn’t that attractive."

"That’s the part I can’t figure out." Osley pondered:

"And I think our trip to the island might not yield anything. After all, they were killed before they even set foot on the island. It’s unlikely there are many clues left here."

"Could it be that secretly, someone wants to compete with us, so they pulled this stunt?"

"Compete? Compete for what?" Osley looked at Helk and asked.

"Maldi and Joyce are on another mission. I suspect their covert adversary wants to weaken our power and warn us to back off through such means."

"That’s possible." Osley said:

"If that’s the case, the secret mission they’re executing becomes quite intriguing."

"But the current task is to land on the island first." Helk said:

"Once we clarify everything here, then we can investigate that possibility."

Osley nodded, "Let’s go, the boat has arrived, get ready to board."

"Okay."

The whistle sounded, and the cruise ship slowly approached the dock.

The people on the deck began to transfer onto the ship one after another, with Helk and Osley bringing up the rear.

"Why are you silent? Have you thought of another possibility?" Osley asked.

"I’m thinking, could it be the Central Guards Brigade who did this?"

"I already said earlier, they don’t know who the killer is. Judging by their usual style, this isn’t something they’d likely do."

"But don’t forget, the Central Guards Brigade has already found Afluo. If she leaks information in this regard, the outcome would be completely different." Helk said.

"I think it’s impossible." Osley shrugged and said:

"They’re participants in this too. If Lin Yi knows, she won’t have a good end either. Someone as clever as her wouldn’t do such a thing."

"You’re right."

"Focus your mind, there’s someone more important waiting for us to investigate now."

"Who?"

"The captain, Richie," Osley said:

"He’s the most familiar with the people boarding the ship. If even he hasn’t seen Cowell, it proves they didn’t board."

"You’re right." Helk said:

"Leave it to me. Six months ago, I had contact with him, so we have some rapport."

"Alright."

While discussing their next steps, the two had already boarded the ship.

Richie sat half-reclined in the captain’s cabin, resting his eyes.

Although his family was still under threat, he knew that as long as he didn’t betray Lin Yi, they wouldn’t harm his family.

And he had received a decent sum of money.

The future promised an early retirement.

"Captain, someone’s looking for you!"

"Looking for me."

Hearing someone speak from behind, Richie turned around and saw a man and a woman walking towards him.

Upon seeing Helk, Richie’s expression subtly changed, but he hid it well.

Despite not knowing Osley, he still remembered Helk!

He was from the Blood Bull Club!

And precisely the person Lin Yi was looking for!

"It’s you."

Richie opened his arms, "It’s been a while since we last met."

"I’ve been on missions elsewhere, haven’t had the chance to come to the island."

Helk took an old-fashioned pocket watch from his pocket.

"The last time we met, there was a misunderstanding between us. This is my gift to you."

"Hey, no need for that."

"It’s alright, I prepared this for you long ago."

Without giving Richie a chance to refuse, Helk placed the pocket watch in Richie’s hand.

"It’s been a while, feel like having a drink? I have some good liquor here." Richie said:

"I can arrange rooms for you, have a drink before we land on the island."

"Maybe not today. I have something I need to ask you."

"Alright, go ahead."

"About half a month ago, our people were planning to land on the island, but they disappeared for no reason. Did you see them here?"

"Yes, they left some impression on me." Richie said earnestly.

Their eyes lit up.

If Richie had seen them, it proved they boarded the island!

But it’s still unclear why they disappeared!

"Where did you see them?"

"Let me think..."

Richie made a thoughtful expression and said:

"They rented a room at the time, seemed like it was 209, then I never saw them again."

"209?" Helk said:

"I remember that’s your room."

"I don’t live there anymore." Richie shrugged and said:

"The whole ship is mine, I can live wherever I want."

"That’s great, my old friend." Helk said:

"I’d like to check out 209, could you give me the key?"

"Of course."

Richie rummaged through a cabinet and handed the key to room 209 to Helk.

"Thanks, old friend. Next time I find something interesting, I’ll bring it to you."

"Thank you."

After greeting, the two turned around and headed towards 209.

"Looks like we were all wrong; they weren’t killed halfway but boarded the island."

"That’s odd." Osley said:

"If they boarded the island, someone would surely have seen them, yet there’s no news at all."

"Let’s check out 209 first. Maybe we can find some clues there."

"Alright."

Shortly after, they arrived at the door of room 209.

Helk held the key and unlocked the door.

Upon entering, they found the room wasn’t tidy, and the window was open.

"These guys really have no sense of cleanliness," Osley complained.

"That’s not our main concern; so much time has passed, there might not be many clues left. We need to search carefully."

"Understood." Helk said seriously.

Creak—

Just then, an inner door opened, and Lin Yi walked out.

"Looking for Cowell? You can check the sea."

The sudden appearance of Lin Yi startled both of them.

This scene wasn’t part of their expectations!

One after another, members of a group also walked out.

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze, plunging to ice-cold!

"How are you here!"

Osley’s voice trembled, the blood seemed to freeze.

That moment she saw Lin Yi, she understood everything!

Cowell was killed by him!

The motive for the action likely because he knew the Blood Bull Club was the mastermind behind that operation!
