Secret Transfer!
He had initially thought that even if it wasn't as clueless as the "Deadpool" case, it would still take more than ten days. He was even planning to stay up all night tonight. But his subordinates told him that it was almost all done. How long had it been since he took on the case? Less than a day!
Could it be that all the luck I used up last time has come back this time?
"As is customary, we first checked the mobile phones and personal computers of the suspects, transaction In-Betweener, and the final target one by one. As a result, these guys, perhaps afraid of being abandoned by the people behind them, or thinking of extorting money, actually left call recordings. This took down several people at once. We also found the records and surveillance videos of their communication, transactions, or transportation of drugs for the rest. Although most of them were deleted or even formatted, we tried to recover them. Fortunately, we were able to recover the key parts. Some of the audio and images were blurry, but after technical processing, they basically met the requirements."
As David listened to his subordinate's account, he became even more certain that his good luck had returned. He had never been this successful in investigating cases, gathering clues, or collecting evidence before. It seemed he would have to buy a Powerball lottery ticket tomorrow and try his luck!
David was in high spirits when he heard his capable subordinate continue speaking.
"The remaining Meishi Company, has formatted their monitoring system server. We are trying to recover it, and we should be able to recover part of it. Then we will conduct further investigations and hopefully find something."
"Very good!"
David was in a very good mood. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past six o'clock. He then turned to a female detective not far away and said something.
"Lena, order a few pizzas, it's on me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lena smiled and agreed, then picked up the phone to order food.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of United States. Pharmaceuticals, the world's largest manufacturer of anti-cancer drugs, President Miller had just received a report from his subordinates.
Miller's face darkened upon learning that his company was being watched by the police.
"Damn it! How could they have found out so quickly! And this damn guy even sold the drug to several other companies! Outrageous!"
The corporate spy who infiltrated the hospital pharmacy to steal the drugs was originally hired by Miller. Because he discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio hadn't applied for a patent, Miller's plan was to steal the drugs, leverage his company's strong research capabilities to directly analyze the drug's components and formula, and then use his government connections to preemptively register the patent. This would allow them to claim ownership of this new drug, which was more effective than their existing anti-cancer drugs. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. Bio completed its trials, it wouldn't be able to pass the approval process and enter the market, because then this new anti-cancer drug, representing immense wealth, would belong to their company, Meishi Pharmaceuticals!
However, things didn't go as planned. They had just received the medication when they learned that the other party had called the police, and the police had discovered the surveillance video of the scene.
Although the video did not expose the corporate spy, Miller still cautiously deleted all his and his subordinates' call logs and other information. He even ordered the company's surveillance system server to be formatted to ensure that no evidence was left behind.
The stolen drugs were also transferred to a more secluded secret laboratory for analysis. However, there would certainly be no results in the short term, but he was not in a hurry. Clinical trials are not something that can be completed overnight. As long as they can decipher the drugs before they complete the drug review, that's fine.
However, just one day later, he learned that his company and four other anti-cancer drug manufacturers had been found to be involved in the drug theft case.
Miller immediately picked up the phone and called a friend in the police system, only to receive even worse news: the case had been transferred to the FBI!
If the police were still investigating the case, he could use his connections and money to try to smooth things over and at least extricate himself from the situation. However, since the FBI is involved, things become much more complicated. Even if he uses all his connections, it would be difficult to influence the FBI's operations.
Although he is a billionaire and the largest shareholder of Meishi Pharmaceuticals, owning nearly one-third of the company's shares, he is still at the very bottom of the truly top-tier wealthy circle. Compared with the real top-tier billionaires, conglomerates, and families, he is just an insignificant figure. In terms of political power and influence, he is far inferior.
However, if he is willing to go all out and sacrifice some of the company's interests, it is still possible to find a way out. But this is only the worst-case scenario, and we are far from that point yet.
It's impossible for him to give up the drug he's already got his hands on. That drug is more effective than any other anti-cancer drug available today. It's a new drug that can monopolize the entire anti-cancer drug market!
With it, not only could he generate hundreds of billions of dollars in profit every year, but he could also potentially monopolize the drug and become a true figure at the top of the wealth circle, standing on equal footing with those top billionaires and established financial groups!
Although other major companies also obtained the drug, he believed that with the strength of their company, M. C. Pharmaceuticals, as the world's largest anti-cancer drug pharmaceutical company, they would definitely be able to analyze and decipher its components before other companies. As long as they found the preparation method, they could legally claim it as their own!
Therefore, no matter what, he could not possibly give up the wealth he had acquired!
However, now that he's being watched by the FBI, he needs to prepare more robust countermeasures.
The secret laboratory located within the headquarters of Meishi Pharmaceutical Company, where drug analysis is currently being conducted, is well-hidden and sufficient to deal with police investigations, but it requires even greater caution when facing the FBI.
"We can't keep it at the company anymore! We need to move it to a more discreet location as soon as possible!"
Sensing the threat from the FBI, Miller made a decision instantly.
That same evening, the stolen new anti-cancer drugs, experimental equipment, and related researchers and security team were secretly loaded into a vehicle and quietly left the headquarters of Meishi Pharmaceutical Company under the cover of darkness.
They eventually settled in a remote suburban farm and resumed their research.
This place is remote, with no one around for more than ten kilometers, and no surveillance equipment to expose our whereabouts.
All communication devices of the researchers and security team were confiscated, except for the head of the security team, who was allowed to communicate directly with Miller and report on progress.
Of course, both phones are new and use newly issued anonymous SIM cards, but there's no need to worry about being tracked.
Knowing he was being watched by the FBI, Miller couldn't possibly be anything but cautious.
