Chapter 143: Leverage the Momentum
Several hours later, the police controlled the disturbances in front of the hospital and successfully pacified the inside...
As the acting head of the hospital, Tessa made a bold choice and directly addressed the media...
Facing the fervent questions from the reporters, Tessa with her tired-looking makeup spoke in a sorrowful tone, "A very serious issue has occurred inside the hospital. Through the confessions of the suspects, we have learned that CIA spies from the United States bribed some police officers and also hired an Assassin to silence the injured soldiers.
The CIA wants to bury the case of Pattaya US Army personnel being involved in human trafficking, and they are trying to prevent us from rescuing those poor girls trafficked to Bahrain.
We will not let them succeed; we will fight to protect these soldiers’ safety until we receive a satisfactory answer."
......
Kobe Andrews, a black detective from the United States Navy Criminal Investigative Service, sat in a black official car stuck in traffic. He watched Tessa’s interview on a TV outside a roadside restaurant...
Upon hearing Tessa flat-out blame the CIA and then assert that the Thai Police would fully protect the soldiers, pain crossed Kobe’s face as he rubbed it...
According to general aesthetics, Kobe’s appearance was considered handsome, with a notably high nose and a lean face but with an unusually resolute gaze.
However, at this moment, he looked especially haggard because ever since Benson mysteriously died in a hotel room, he was sent to oversee the investigation by the Thai Police.
Though the Thai Police cooperated with them, they refused to provide the legal endorsement necessary for law enforcement, meaning they could investigate, but all activities had to be carried out under the supervision, or rather oversight of the Thai Police.
