Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Benjamin kept explaining to his captain.

"Captain, I didn't lie. The one who kidnapped the child was the monster, as well as the big woman. You also saw the surveillance video from the hospital."

"The surveillance has been deleted." The captain said: "Also, although you saved the child, I still hope you can be honest and don't exaggerate your achievements. In addition, your car will be in the public account, so you don't have to worry about yourself. If you make a mistake, you will need to bear the repair costs."

"I'm not worried about this... Captain, what I said is true. That woman caught the lizard monster." Benjamin said excitedly: "Captain, I checked. In the past three months, there have been 14 people in San Francisco. Two children have gone missing, all of them less than a month old... Now there is a group of monsters out there stealing children. I think we must be more vigilant. In addition, the woman must know more inside stories. We should find her and get from her. Get clues there.”

"Okay, Ben, please be quiet. Maybe you hit your head, so you're a little confused. I'll give you three days of paid leave to relax."

Benjamin was very dissatisfied with the captain's distrust of him.

"Captain, I'm not injured, I don't need to take leave, I want to investigate this case."

"Ben, if you keep nagging me, I'll ask you to hand over your badge."

Benjamin wanted to say something more, but the captain didn't trust him at all.

In the end, Benjamin could only slam the door angrily and leave.

He believed what he saw, and he was certain of what he saw and experienced.

It was not something I had guessed or made up.

Since the captain doesn't believe him, he should investigate it himself.

Benjamin was holding a breath in his heart.

The more others doubt him, the more he has to prove it to others.

Benjamin ran to the archives room: "Hey, Carre, can you help me check some information?"

"What are you looking for?" asked the archives manager Kare.

"Child-related cases in San Francisco in the past three months."

"Are you kidding me? There are at least a thousand cases."

"Hospital, newborn."

"Okay." Carlei then helped Benjamin search for cases. After a while, Carlei searched dozens of cases and came out: "Do you need me to print them out?"

"Of course, I'll treat you to dinner later."

Benjamin took the printed case and found a place to read it by himself.

"Silver bracelet?" Benjamin frowned. He found a photo of one of the missing children. The child had a silver bracelet on his hand.

Benjamin remembered that when he rescued the child today, the child was also wearing a silver bracelet.

Benjamin thought. Is this silver bracelet the key?

Benjamin flipped through the next case file and suddenly saw a photo.

An Asian man covered in blood was holding a child, who was also wearing a silver bracelet.

Benjamin looked at the case records carefully.

In order to save the child who was thrown from the rooftop, this Asian man flew to save his own child, and finally used himself as a meat pad to protect the child.

Benjamin looked at the case. Since the child also wore a silver bracelet, he was probably also the target of those monsters.

Even if this child's life was saved by his father, those monsters might still regard this child as a target.

…

"Chen, where are you now?" Alex called Chen Zhao.

"Hotel." Chen Zhao replied.

"I'll go to your place."

Not long after, Alex arrived at the hotel where Chen Zhao was staying and handed Chen Zhao a document.

"What's it this time?"

"See for yourself."

Chen Zhao took out the documents and looked through them. Some of them were police investigation reports, and some were relatively old newspaper clippings.

"You'd better tell me directly, it gives me a headache." Chen Zhao put down the document. There were so many things that gave him a headache.

"There were a total of fifty-eight people on the North Beach sightseeing boat. Thirty of them were rescued and twenty-eight were killed, including the former chairman of Tongming Electronics and his family." Alex said: " After the death of the former chairman and his family, the current chairman came up with an equity transfer contract and acquired all the former chairman’s shares in Tongming Electronics.”

"In other words, this is murder for money, right?" Chen Zhao asked with a frown.

"The thing is not just that simple. In fact, Tongming Electronics provides automated production line installation and services. Before the incident, someone once broke the news that the automated production line procedures provided by Tongming Electronics had great hidden dangers. During that time, Tongming Electronics’ stock price plummeted.”

"Then what? Is there anything fishy in this?"

Alex thought for a while and said: "Although there is no direct evidence, we can roughly guess from some details that this matter was probably secretly released by the current chairman Deng Boli in order to acquire the former chairman's shares at a low price. It was fake news, but the former chairman was not fooled by it, so Deng Boli took a desperate risk. First, he kidnapped the former chairman’s family and forced him to sign a share transfer contract. Then he sent him and his family to the prison. A tourist boat, and then artificially caused this accident, causing the death of their family to appear to be an accident."

Alex added: "And this matter cannot be handled by Deng Boli alone. Although there is a share transfer contract, there is no judicial agency to investigate this kind of free equity transfer, just because the board of directors internally admitted this. This equity transfer means that within the board of directors of Tongming Electronics, Deng Boli is not the only one who is plotting the former chairman’s shares.”

"Who exactly are they?"

"I have no evidence." Alex emphasized.

"I'm not a court. After I determine this fact, I don't need evidence. I just need facts."

"I'm afraid only Templeton knows how many people were involved in this matter."

"It doesn't matter, I will open their mouths one by one."

"Don't mess around. Each of them is a billionaire, and they are protected by many bodyguards."

Of course Chen Zhao knows that the way to deal with rich people is completely different from the way to deal with gangsters.

Even if Chen Zhao killed everyone in the gang and shed blood, no one would seriously investigate.

But if a rich man dies, the police and even the government will be under great pressure.

This is a money society, and the rich are looking after each other.

If so many rich people die at one time, other rich people will definitely feel unsafe and will definitely put pressure on the government and the police. The police will definitely investigate the death.

"By the way, this weekend, he will hold a yacht party on his private yacht, and all the participants will be shareholders of the company."
