Chapter 1173: Chapter 1171: The Whole World Is Looking for Me

Is it possible for someone to completely disappear from this world?

Actively, I mean, by hiding and not being found?

Strictly speaking, it’s possible, but very few people can achieve it.

For instance, hiding on some island, never contacting the outside world, perhaps it’s possible to conceal oneself.

But in most cases, if you don’t leave human society, it’s difficult to hide yourself.

Checkbooks, bank deposit and withdrawal records, including various receipts, all form a layered information network. With enough money and professionals in charge, it’s easy to be found.

Professional Hunters around the world have their own sources of intelligence. After they caught the fake ID maker who created a false identity for Charlie (妹), they obtained her purchased ticket from customs.

Subsequently, they even found the city where she was in hiding.

There’s nothing remarkable about this; as long as people live in this world, they always leave some traces.

And if there’s interest involved, it’s even harder to stay hidden.

At this moment, Charlie (妹) was repeatedly folding her arms tightly around herself. Even though the weather had already warmed up, she seemed as if she were freezing in a bitter cold wind, her face slightly pale and body slightly trembling.

She was not a clueless woman; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to pull off such a huge affair with her brother. She was smart and had witnessed many grand scenes, and she knew how to deal with these situations.

Upon arriving in the Federation, she immediately used her false identity to apply for investor immigration with the Federation authorities.

Makeup can effectively alter a person’s appearance, and as an investor immigrant, the immigration officers couldn’t really make Charlie (妹) go to a restroom, strip naked, and take a shower for a stringent identity check.

When she appeared as if she matched the fake passport she held, the immigration bureau accepted her foreigner identity.

The Federation had only been engaging in large-scale international business for a few years, and sometimes the immigration bureau’s contacts with various countries were not as clear-cut as people imagined.

Some countries refuse to provide their passport identification methods to Federation people, just as the Federation Government would selectively disclose how to detect fake Federation passports.

Especially between hostile forces, rashly revealing such sensitive information can cause significant difficulties for immigration and travel checks, both domestically and internationally.

The passport Charlie (妹) had in her hand was highly authentic. After all, a lot of money was spent; the base was a real passport, just that the person making the fake ID removed the original photo and pasted her photo with a reprinted quarter-inch watermark.

Just a few seemingly simple procedures took up her former Federation Sol expenses.

The Federation Government welcomed any international friend willing to help the Federation return to greatness. Soon, Charlie (妹)’s audit passed, primarily auditing her bank account to ensure there was enough money, which it was.

Thus, she obtained a full set of Federation documents in less than a week, including a social security number, marking the moment she became a legal Federation citizen.

The entire operation had virtually no flaws; she invested in a small, about-to-bankrupt textile mill, and the local government saw her as an important social member.

Subsequently, through her Lawyer, she fabricated identities for several "relatives," stating that these relatives intended to join her. To allow this wealthy foreigner to continue staying in the area, the local immigration bureau eased some procedures.

Without seeing the people, they created four identity documents.

Subsequently, Charlie (妹) used these four legal identities, protected and recognized by Federation law, to purchase different houses in different cities, living in each of them.

She would change residences periodically, never staying too long in any single city or house.

She always had a sense of crisis, feeling that those Hunters were getting closer and closer to her.

Until this moment.

Light footsteps came from above her through the wooden floor, with dust occasionally falling from the gaps in the wood.

Someone had entered the house, and... they were definitely not good people.

The footsteps were gentle, and there was no knock at the door. If she hadn’t inadvertently seen a car parked not far away and someone walking toward this place from there, she might have been caught off guard.

Fortunately, she noticed just in time to hide.

The two Security Guards she employed hadn’t made any sound, most likely they were already dead.

These people were looking for her; she was certain of that.

Above the floor, several armed individuals quickly searched the entire house, finally confirming that no one was there.

"Another empty house..." Scarface crossed an address off his notebook and glanced at the remaining ones, "There are two more addresses; hopefully, we’ll have some luck."

A dark-skinned girl took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and lit one, "This fucking bitch is too cunning. We may have already alerted the Federation Government..."

Yes, cunning, deceitful, that’s their evaluation of Charlie (sister).

She has bodyguards from different companies in every house, so to find her, these hunters must first eliminate the bodyguards.

But every time they get rid of the bodyguards, they find the house is empty.

Then they realize that more and more security companies are pursuing them, and possibly the Federation Government has mobilized as well.

These bodyguards come from different companies, and for these companies, this is a life-and-death battle to defend their reputation.

If they let these people leave, there might be rumors circulating that they can’t protect their employers and can’t even avenge them.

At that time, they wouldn’t be able to compete with Darkstone Security, nor even keep the market share they currently hold.

Not long ago, they had a fierce fight with a group, which should be with those security companies.

The more places they search that might have low security, the more bodyguards they need to eliminate, offending more security companies, which is very troublesome.

Scarface glanced at the next address, raised his head, "Stop talking, let’s go to the next address..."

Quickly, the group quietly withdrew. Listening to these people’s footsteps gradually receding, Charlie (sister) suddenly felt a miraculous survival in disaster.

She prayed, thanking all the gods she knew and didn’t know.

Her legs were a bit weak, sitting in the small space carved under the floor.

About fifteen minutes later, suddenly some slight footsteps came from different places again, Charlie (sister) was taken aback, cursing silently in her heart.

Scarface and his men stayed around for a while, waited for over ten minutes, then quietly came in again to ensure there was no place they hadn’t searched.

They made a round, many small details hadn’t changed, which meant indeed no one came after they left.

"Seems like this is truly an empty house...," Scarface sighed, "Let’s go."

This time, Charlie (sister) didn’t believe what they said, she stayed hidden in this small space until... the next day.

Early next morning, she quietly crawled out of the compartment, observed the surroundings, and left under the cover of night.

She already felt that suffocating urgency, these people were really getting closer to her, but it seemed... she didn’t have a better way.

She also considered seeking protection from the Federation Government, but she was still a fugitive of the Federation Government, and Charlie siblings’ international wanted notice was posted on the FBI bulletin board.

At this moment, she wasn’t sure if those people would help her when she approached the Federation Government for cooperation or squeeze out all visible value from her before throwing her in jail.

She aimlessly hid everywhere, as the security company providing bodyguards sent people to check when they didn’t hear back from them.

When they saw two bodyguards on the sofa with broken necks, they immediately called the police.

As this was a murder case, besides local criminal group police, there were also FBI investigators.

The two groups had some friction, standing separately.

After checking basic information at the scene, the investigator from FBI frowned right away, "I remember similar incidents happened in other states recently."

"Bodyguards killed in the employer’s room, employer missing."

His partner nodded, "Yes, just received a joint investigation request the day before yesterday. Do you think this case is done by the same group as those cases?"

The agent who first spoke nodded, "Whether it’s done by the same group or not, put this as one of the possible direction for investigation."

Later, one of them returned to the FBI to start reviewing clues from the joint investigation cases sent by other states. The reviewing personnel found an interesting piece of information here.

Almost every house where bodyguards were murdered had a homeowner connected to a woman who became a Federation citizen through investment immigration not long ago.

The FBI promptly reported the findings within its system, and their superiors confirmed their deduction, issuing a new wanted notice.

The continuous appearance of murder cases gave the entire series of cases some new speculations, possibly the employer wasn’t murdered, and even the employer might be the killer.

Whether it’s to protect the employer or find the employer to explain the doubts in the cases, the FBI issued joint investigation wanted/blue notices for all employers and that investment immigrant woman.

Unlike first or second level wanted notices or others, the joint investigation wanted notice is a protective wanted notice issued against evidence and witnesses.

If the first or second level and red ones are constructed for capture or kill, the joint investigation wanted is centered on protection.

Regardless of what wanted notice it is, Charlie (sister)’s new identity has become famous!
