The church's subordinate called Susan as soon as he returned to his office.
"Hello, Barry. What's the matter?" Susan asked.
"There's a mission for you to handle. One of our undercover agents was killed in Brussels, Belgium. I recommended you to Supervisor Willis to handle this," Barry said.
Susan, who was once again being delayed by the church because there was no evidence, was not in the mood to care about the death of the undercover agent. However, before she could refuse, she heard Barry say, "I advise you not to refuse. I just saw a retirement report from Supervisor Willis.
Your name is on it. If you want to retire, then don't do it. However, if you don't want to retire completely so soon, then take this mission. With your experience, investigating a murder case shouldn't be too troublesome. This matter is very important to the higher-ups. You should understand. "
"Damn it." Hearing that Willis wanted her to retire, Susan, who was already afraid of having nothing to do after retirement, immediately held back her refusal. "I can take over if you want, but I need to lead an action team that I'm familiar with."
"No problem, I know Dave. Contact him now so that I don't have to repeat myself later."
"Okay, wait a moment, Barry."
A minute later, three figures appeared on the computer screen. Dave greeted Barry and Susan the moment he went online, "Good morning, Manager Barry, Manager Susan."
"Good morning, Dave. Everyone is here. Let's get down to business. Last night at 11 o 'clock in Brussels, Belgium, a senior C1A agent, Carlbert, was killed in his home.
His wife was also killed together with him. The preliminary investigation by the Belgian police concluded that Carlbert killed his wife and committed suicide.
However, we don't believe that Carlbert would commit suicide. He was a senior undercover agent and had undergone a secret psychological test last month. There was no possibility of suicide at all, so the bureau asked you to take over the investigation.
Dave, you've been working with Susan before. This time, you'll be Susan's assistant. Lead your team to help Susan investigate and protect her safety. "
"Understood, sir." Although Dave didn't show it on his face, he was cursing in his heart. To hell with the senior undercover agent. Carlbert was the person that Ali and the others had just killed.
Bastard, how could there be such a coincidence? Dave couldn't help but suspect the person who issued the mission in the dark net. However, he definitely wouldn't dare to say it out loud. He could only wait until this matter was over.
A sorrowful look appeared on Dave's face. "Sir, can you confirm that Culbert is really one of us?"
"Of course, Culbert's identity has been confirmed," Barry said as he picked up a document. "This is the report from the Belgian police. There were traces of gun grease in Culbert's mouth, and there was a 9mm pistol at his feet. Other than Culbert's and his wife's fingerprints, no other fingerprints were found in the house. The gun was registered to Culbert himself, so the Belgian police determined that he committed suicide.
That's all we have for now. The Belgian police were very perfunctory when they found out that Carlbert was one of us, so I need you to investigate the cause of his death. The plane is waiting at the airport, and it can take off at any time. "
"Thanks, Barry. I'll call you if I have any questions," Susan said.
"Alright, bye bye."
As soon as Barry went offline, Susan said to Dave, "Tell our people in Belgium to help the police seal off the scene. No one is allowed to enter before I arrive."
"Yes, sir," Dave said after a moment of hesitation. "I just checked the database, and I couldn't find any information about this Culbert. When did he join the secret service? What did he do? When did he go undercover? Are you sure Culbert is really one of us?"
"I don't know," Susan said helplessly with her hand on her neck. "There are many people like him in the bureau. In every country, there are always a few secret service members who don't hold high positions but are in key positions. Even in England, there are many of them."
"Alright, it seems like my confidentiality level is too low. God, I still have a lot of messy things on my desk waiting to be dealt with."
"Haha, stop complaining. Let's get ready to go. We'll go take a look at the scene. Maybe we'll be back soon," Susan said with a laugh.
"The only thing I'm looking forward to is the Belgian chocolate," Dave said with a smile. "You know, the only thing that's memorable in Belgium is probably chocolate."
"Hmm, chocolate. That's not bad. Let's go try it."
An hour later, Susan saw Dave, who had been waiting for a long time, at the airport. When she saw Dave, she asked, "Where's Ali and the others?"
"They're on a mission in Holland. I told the three of them to wait for us in Brussels," Dave said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go then."
It was normal for the secret service to go on a mission, so Susan didn't think too much about it.
Seven hours later, in Brussels, Belgium, Susan and Dave were picked up by the Belgian secret service as soon as they got off the plane. They went straight to Culbert's house.
In Culbert's house, Susan checked inside and out carefully and fell silent. However, the Belgian police were indeed very uncooperative. Seeing that Susan had found the clues on the table, the sheriff shrugged. "Sorry, we didn't send the rest of the report to you in time. I'll get someone to send the latest report to the hotel you're staying at later."
Dave looked at his watch and said to Susan, "Susan, it's almost time to meet the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office. They know the specific situation best now."
His words woke Susan up from her deep thoughts. "Okay, let's go." She walked to Dave's side and took back her bag and jacket from him.
Dave looked at Susan's gloomy face and panicked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go." After saying that, Susan took the jacket and walked sideways past Dave. She didn't know if it was because of a sense of crisis or because she had already guessed that Dave's team was behind Culbert's murder, but when she walked past Dave, Susan's footsteps seemed to be a little hurried.
This made Dave, who had worked with Susan for more than ten years, instinctively know that something had happened. Susan might have already guessed that this case was done by them. He stood on the spot and thought about the arrangements before coming to Belgium.
"Dave, we have to go," Susan called out.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After walking out of Culbert's house, the two of them talked and laughed as they got into the car. During this time, they didn't show any abnormalities. After returning to the hotel, they sent off the people from the Belgian secret service. After meeting the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office, Dave whispered to Susan, "Let's go, we'll check in first. I'll tell you as we walk."
"Okay." Susan nodded.
"There's no problem with Culbert's bank records. After checking his mobile phone, phone, and email, there's no problem. His marriage is good, he has no affair, no boyfriend, and he didn't even say anything inappropriate to his colleagues."
"Wait, boyfriend, Culbert?" Susan stopped and asked in surprise.
Dave shrugged. "Come on, Susan. It's not like we haven't seen this kind of thing around us. Moreover, this is Western Europe. This kind of situation is even more common."
"Okay, I'm making a fuss over nothing."
The two of them checked in and walked to the elevator. Just as they reached the elevator, Susan's phone suddenly rang.
