Chapter 189 - 152 Are you blackmailing me?
The investigation into the incident naturally began with that sniper rifle, and the shooting range owner and the manager.
First and foremost was the firearm, which upon inspection by a professional, turned out to have been deliberately sabotaged, almost guaranteed to explode upon firing.
The collector who had sold him the rifle had bet that the shooting range owner would never actually use his collection.
On Javell’s second day there, he seized the opportunity to purposely sell the rifle to the shooting range owner.
The shooting range owner claimed he was initially unaware of this news until a few friends at the dinner table informed him that a young master of the Javell family, with whom he had some connection, had come to the area.
Someone suggested that he could invite the young master to his shooting range to play and take the opportunity to showcase his collection and get closer to him.
This led to the subsequent events.
The manager of the shooting range was even simpler; on the morning of that day, he was approached by someone claiming to be the owner of a firearms coating company.
The individual mentioned that the coating on the sniper rifle that the owner had recently acquired was done by their company.
If possible, they hoped that the young Master Javell could have a chance to try it out when it was displayed to achieve a promotional effect, for which they were willing to offer him a payment of fifty thousand US dollars.
