In the hotel, Zhang Yang was equally surprised when he saw the latest news report.
He had never even seen Bud at the Rensa Group.
Now, Bud was covered with a white sheet and being carried out.
"How did the two tigers and Bud die?"
"Was it Bruce and Harrison?"
It was clear that Zhang Yang was not the killer, without a doubt.
But all the public saw were the tigers and Bud being carried out. What had actually happened was completely unknown to them.
The question of whether Zhang Yang was the killer became the focus of heated debate.
[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid has started killing people!]
[Holy shit, did Kaitō Kid really kill two tigers with his bare hands? Is that even possible?]
[The killer must be Kaitō Kid. Don't forget who brought him to the Rensa Group!]
[Just because he didn't hurt anyone before doesn't mean he won't now!]
[You're full of shit. If Kaitō Kid were going to kill, the FBI agents would have died long ago!]
Opinions online were divided. Some claimed that Zhang Yang was the killer, while others, his fans, strongly believed that he couldn't have killed Bud.
After reading the online discussions, Zhang Yang's mind raced with conflicting thoughts.
He didn't know how the two tigers and Bud died.
"Bruce must know!"
"How could such a dark situation fall on me?"
Zhang Yang tapped his finger on the table, pondering how to expose the truth to the public.
Bruce and Harrison were the last to leave the Rensa Group. Whatever the truth was, they definitely knew.
But the public opinion was clearly not in his favor, and Zhang Yang wasn't sure if they would clear his name or reveal the truth.
The next morning, Zhang Yang found a private message from Bruce in his inbox.
"Kaitō Kid, what's the password for the USB drive you gave me?"
The USB drive belonged to Davis, and now Bruce was asking him for the password.
Zhang Yang chuckled softly, and a bold idea crossed his mind.
The USB drive was very important to Davis, so encryption was perfectly normal.
What wasn't normal was that, even after the FBI spent an entire night trying to crack it, they still couldn't decrypt it.
Moreover, there was a self-destruct program on the USB drive. If they tried to crack it forcibly, it would likely wipe the internal files.
In desperation, Bruce sent a direct message to Zhang Yang to get the password.
"The two tigers and Bud's death in the Rensa Group, the public needs to know the truth. Afterward, I'll give you the password!"
Meanwhile, Bruce and Harrison sat across from each other, staring at the USB drive on the table, deep in thought.
"Ding ding…"
The phone pinged with a notification.
Bruce eagerly grabbed his phone and checked the message from Zhang Yang.
After reading the message, Harrison smiled and shook his head.
"This is interesting!"
Both Bruce and Harrison knew that public opinion was leaning toward Kaitō Kid being the killer. Now, the encryption on the USB drive had ironically become the key to the turnaround.
Bruce sighed helplessly.
"The goddess of luck is clearly on Kaitō Kid's side!"
"Harrison, the impact of this operation at the Rensa Group is huge. It will be released to the public sooner or later. What do you think?"
Harrison sneered.
"Let's do what he says."
"Otherwise, he'll go to any lengths to clear his name, and then we'll be the ones with the headache!"
Harrison's message was clear—if they didn't want to invite more trouble, they should reveal the truth to the public.
Otherwise, letting Kaitō Kid reveal the truth could lead to who knows what!
Bruce let out a heavy sigh. Even the FBI's technical department couldn't crack the encrypted USB drive, and he was incredibly curious about what was inside.
Not just Bruce, but people at the top of Eagle Nation were also very concerned.
If they couldn't even see what was on the USB drive, Bruce wouldn't be able to report back properly.
"Shit! It looks like we have no choice!"
"Damn Kaitō Kid, once I catch him, I'm going to humiliate him a hundred times over!"
So, two hours later, around noon, Bruce publicly released everything about the Rensa Group operation and the deaths of the tigers and Bud.
The truth was finally out, and the internet exploded.
[Oh my god! Bruce and Harrison killed the two tigers?]
[I knew Kaitō Kid wouldn't harm anyone, not even the tigers. It's no surprise that Bruce and Harrison are the killers!]
[I told you, never doubt Kaitō Kid! Bruce is the one you should suspect!]
[Shit! Bud was killed by his own security system?]
[Hahaha, he fell into his own trap, tough guy Bud!]
Once the truth was revealed, everything became clear.
Zhang Yang, seeing the clarification video Bruce posted and the comments below, was very satisfied.
Before Bruce even had the chance to send him a private message, Zhang Yang kept his promise and sent the USB password directly.
"Davis knows the password. He's with you, just ask him!"
When Bruce saw Zhang Yang's private message, he immediately lost it, cursing loudly.
"Shit! That bastard Kaitō Kid!"
"He's messing with us again. Davis knows the password to the USB drive!"
Harrison didn't expect things to go this way, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Bruce was angry, but the higher-ups were still waiting for him to report what was on the USB drive.
So, after receiving the message, Bruce immediately went to find Davis.
The agents brought Davis to the interrogation room, and Bruce got straight to the point, showing him the USB drive.
"What's the password?"
As soon as Davis saw the USB drive, his legs went weak with fear.
The worst thing he feared had happened.
"Director Bruce, I don't recognize this USB drive. How would I know the password?"
Davis tried to remain calm, but he clearly wasn't cooperating.
His earlier reaction had already given him away.
Bruce, as Eagle Nation's top agent, had seen too many people to be fooled by Davis.
Davis's fearful glance lasted only a moment but was enough to be caught by Bruce's sharp eyes.
"You don't know?"
"This USB drive was sent by Kaitō Kid. He said you know the password!"
"Davis, didn't you bring Kaitō Kid to the Rensa Group to steal this very thing?"
Bruce spoke with a mocking tone, full of provocation and sarcasm.
Davis was poked in a sore spot, and his anger boiled over.
He had gone to Zhang Yang to get the USB drive, not to end up in this situation.
It was bad enough that he'd been caught, but now the USB drive was in Bruce's hands.
"What's wrong, Davis? Did you miscalculate?"
"Did you really think he wouldn't steal the USB and give it to me?"
Bruce continued to rub salt in Davis's wounds, making him even angrier and more irrational.
Davis glared at Bruce, clearly losing his composure.
Harrison took a deep breath, speaking to Davis in a calm yet firm tone.
"Davis, at this point, what are you still holding out for?"
"You know where you are, with the eyes of the world on you. Do you really think you'll walk out of here?"
