Rainy Night Pursuit!

Meanwhile, on one side Meishi Pharmaceutical Company is relocating its labs, and on the other side, the FBI office is in Los Angeles.

The pizza they ordered arrived quickly, and the restoration work was completed. With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s secret help, they actually managed to recover some of the surveillance footage.

It was rare to encounter such a smooth situation, and no one was willing to stop their work. Everyone ate pizza while checking the recovered video files.

David didn't go back to his office either. Instead, he watched everyone busy in the common area. His intuition told him that his good luck would continue today!

Sure enough, someone soon made a discovery. Although it wasn't direct evidence, they found the stolen drugs. Now they can confirm that the stolen new anticancer drug is inside the headquarters of Meishi Pharmaceutical Company!

With a thorough search, we will definitely be able to find it!

Finding the stolen drugs at the company headquarters, arresting all those involved, and conducting a surprise interrogation will surely prove Miller's guilt!

David's face lit up with excitement. The Meishi Company was located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. David was just about to order his men to raid the Mesh headquarters in one fell swoop when another of his men nearby suddenly spoke up.

"Boss, the target seems to have made a move. Just half an hour ago, all surveillance cameras at the Meishi Company headquarters were suddenly shut down, and they were only just restored!"

David's expression changed upon hearing this. Recalling the news report on television earlier, David's face turned extremely ugly.

"Damn it! They must have received a tip and are moving the stolen drugs!"

David suddenly raised his head and shouted to his men around him.

"Check the nearby surveillance footage! Find all the vehicles and personnel who left Meishi Company within the last half hour!"

The detectives quickly sprang into action, not wanting their newly discovered clues to be lost.

David watched his men working anxiously, his face dark with anger burning within him.

"Damn rats! Damn reporters!"

Seeing that the Los Angeles police had leaked information about the case, causing the target to react quickly and move the stolen drugs, thus complicating the case, David had already sentenced the policeman who sold the information to the reporter to death in his heart. After this case is over, he will personally send him to prison!

However, the most urgent task is to find the transferred drugs!

"Found it!"

Soon, someone spotted the target.

David quickly walked over and looked at the convoy speeding away into the night on the computer screen.

"Fifteen minutes ago, two SUVs, a large truck, and a minibus passed through this intersection near Meishi Company, but there was no footage of this convoy passing through other intersections ahead. It can be concluded that this convoy came from inside Meishi Company!"

"Very good, keep tracking them down and find them for me!"

However, bad news soon arrived.

"Boss, we've lost them! They must have turned off the highway; the security cameras can't find them!"

"Map!"

David said in a deep voice.

His subordinates quickly pulled up the satellite map.

Where were they last seen?

"The last image of them was captured by a camera 35 kilometers north of Highway 17, but the next camera 12 kilometers away did not find any trace of them!"

The agent pointed out two locations on the satellite map.

David looked at the conspicuous black highway on the satellite map and the surrounding terrain and scenery. It was clear that they had reached the suburbs and countryside. Apart from a few surveillance cameras on the highway, most of the roads below were country lanes or even dirt roads, with no cameras installed at all.

Several inconspicuous tan lines meander across the map, intersecting with the black highway.

Clearly, the convoy turned onto a side road along this stretch of road, leaving the highway and venturing deep into the wilderness.

How many forks in the road are there along this stretch?

David gestured to the twelve-kilometer stretch of road on the map where the convoy had disappeared.

Three!

David stared at the last footage of the convoy on the nearby surveillance camera, his brow furrowing.

What's the weather like outside right now?

They were busy investigating in the office all day, and no one paid attention to the weather outside. Although the underlings found it strange, they quickly checked the weather.

"Little Rain!"

Upon hearing this, David abruptly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and shouted at his group of agents.

"Prepare weapons, equipment, and vehicles! Move out immediately!"

Most people didn't understand why, but they still acted quickly according to David's orders.

Five minutes later, three large black SUVs sped out of the building housing the FBI offices and headed north.

Half an hour later, on the dark highway, six straight and dazzling headlights pierced through the drizzling rain, illuminating the rain-soaked asphalt road.

"Squeak~ Squeak!"

A screeching sound of brakes rang out, and the three SUVs came to a stop at a fork in the road.

David was the first to open the door and get out of the car, without even using an umbrella, letting the sparse raindrops fall on him.

When they reached the fork in the road, David could clearly see the road leading into the distance by the bright lights of several cars.

Sparse fallen leaves lay scattered on the ground, dampened by the rain, reflecting fragmented light under the lamplight.

After examining the car carefully for a moment, David turned around and got back into the car.

"Go to the next intersection!"

A moment later, the three cars stopped at an intersection again, David got out to observe once more.

At first glance, it looked no different from the fork in the road ahead, with the same dark ground wet with rain and fallen leaves scattered on it. But David's eyes suddenly lit up. He took a few steps forward, squatted down, picked up a leaf, and held it up in front of him to examine it carefully.

This leaf looks fine at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll notice that compared to other leaves, which, despite being wet, still retain a certain curve and arc and aren't completely flat on the ground, this leaf seems to have been deliberately pressed down, making it flatter. Upon closer inspection, you can also see the marks left by heavy objects rolling over the veins.

David tossed aside the leaf in his hand and carefully examined the road ahead. He could vaguely see that many leaves on the ground seemed to have been crushed and were pressed tightly against the ground, clearly different from the other leaves under the light.

Clearly, a car passed by here not long ago.

And at this time, in the countryside, there wouldn't be many cars passing by, so it's highly likely that this is the convoy they're looking for.

David returned to the car with a look of excitement on his face.

The car door slammed shut with a "bang!"

"Drive straight along this road!"
