Fiona was genuinely stunned this time. He never expected himself to be the root cause of Snow’s escape.
Perhaps Snow would never be able to guess that the real spy, who caused his colleagues to be exposed, was actually Barne. After all, according to common sense, he would not reveal his identity since he had only been in Qari for less than a day. So Snow did not think that Fiona was the one sending people to follow him and then following the clues to discover the other agents.
“So, in your quest to locate that spy, you stumbled upon a secret you weren’t supposed to know?” Bokir, who finally understood what was going on, sounded cautious.
He also did not expect that his actions would lead to a certain degree of confrontation between Snow and the intelligence agency in advance.
“Of course! How can I tolerate a spy making me take the blame when he’s hiding in the dark? So when I realized all this, I immediately started screening the list of potential spies. Soon, I locked on the target, and it’s my supervisor, Smart!”
“Because apart from him, no one else knows the location of the others so well, and this guy definitely had the motives for framing me!”
“This guy has always disliked me since he came to Qari because he is proud of his password-breaking ability and remote control file destruction technology, but, to me, those are just child’s play. He’s just jealous of me and afraid that I’ll take his place!”
When Snow mentioned Smart, he immediately became talkative and exposed how abominable his boss was. It was obvious that the two had deep grievances.
He was so emotional that he did not notice that the face of the man in women’s clothing opposite him immediately became weird on hearing him mention Smart’s name.
“Why does this person’s name sound so familiar…” Mozart lowered his head and muttered softly.
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his palm. He looked up to see Fiona shaking his head slightly.
Only then did Mozart realize what was going on and quickly shut up.
He remembered the both of them knocking out a man named Smart, and to keep him in the hospital for a few more days, Fiona kicked him a few more times.
After Snow heard what Fiona said, he immediately became embarrassed. “Um… That’s right, but I didn’t expect Smart to be so careful. He even made a nested alarm trigger behind the password… After all, I had just joined the monitoring department. I didn’t know they were so fanatical in the management of confidential documents…”
Fiona asked, “So when you found out, your first reaction was to run away?”
