Chapter 75 - Investigation (3)

28 December, Central Police Station, City K

There was a knock on the door that interrupted John, so he stood up and answered it. Outside the door was Warrant Officer Wang and behind him the desk officer. John Indicated for Warrant Officer Wang to come in and shut the door. Once the door was shut behind him, Warrant Officer Wang pulled out the letter General Man requested that he hand to John Nang.

John opened the letter and began to read.

'Police Liaison Nang. After you spoke to Matthew Rong, he and I had a private discussion. He has determined quickly that Major Hung is not to be trusted. Within an hour he not only attempted to bug his office, but my hospital room. Major Hung has for years believed that he should be the head of special forces here in City K, but he has been rejected time and time again for promotion.'

'Given the way that the last two heads of special forces here in City K, have had to leave their position suspicion was raised in the Capital about Major Hung, hence Matthew's appointment. City K, for Matthew is home, and, as you know he does not have to remain in the military, given his shareholding in JL International. It therefore will be harder for anyone to chase Matthew from his position.'

'The one thing that is not public knowledge is that Matthew, just before he was assigned here was promoted to Major General and is the national deputy head of special forces. That information is for you to know only. At the time of his assignment to City K, given that wearing his identity tags could become problematic he has been given a replica of a talisman he had when he joined the military but which has hidden in it a tracker, that he can activate at different levels.'

'That is monitored by a specific group within military command in the capital. Once we have this signal, they will contact me, and I will be in contact with you. A special team will be sent from the capital to assist in coordinating the rescue, but other than myself and Warrant Officer Wang no one at base will be advised of that is happening, all they would be told is a family emergency means that he is unavailable. Any local action will need to be done by officers within the police you solely trust. Our Priority is getting him back, and then we will investigate what is happening.'

'We need you please to contact his brother and put in place the 'family emergency' so that Matthew's disappearance can be explained without raising a suspicion. While I know Phillip Rong socially, my contact with him will raise too many suspicions. Your contact however will not, given your long-term connection to the Rong family.'

'I am outside waiting, but I need you to authorise Warrant Officer Wang to bring me into your office quickly, as we need to have additional discussions and I need to return back to the hospital as soon as possible as I have come against medical advice.'

While John was reading the letter, Warrant Officer Wang looked at the image frozen on the screen and immediately knew who was involved. John simply heard him say "Damn."

Once finished, he turned, and said "You see the problem that we now have. We only just realised who it was. Can you bring General Man in, as I need to make a call."

With the request Warrant Officer Wang left the room, and John turned and picked up a telephone to make a call to Phillip Rong. The last thing he needed to do was cause issues for Phillip but presently hiding information while working to get Matthew and Lexi back as soon as possible had to be the important thing.

Picking up the telephone, John called Phillip, to give a partial explanation. He knew, given the new information not only General Man had given him, but the fact that the Devil was involved, he needed to hide some information from Phillip. Damn Matthew, he though his friend would have been totally honest, but to hide is promotion to General. That was something he was going to answer for once he was out of this problem.
