But before he can elaborate, Katherine's phone rings. Luca.
She answers on speaker. "Yes?"
"We have a problem." Luca's voice is tense. "Marcus Wei from the Chinatown operations has been asking questions. Specific questions about Tony's death. Wants to see burial records and cremation documentation. Says he's 'verifying' for mutual associates."
"Which means M sent him," Katherine says.
"Or Wei is M," I point out. "He's a Commission member. He has the position, the connections."
"He's too obvious," Thomas's voice joins, he's in the room with Luca. "Marcus Wei is brutal but not subtle. Whoever 'M' is has been invisible for decades. Wei's been making power moves openly for years."
"Then M is using Wei to verify," Katherine concludes. "Which means they're not entirely convinced Tony is dead."
The implications settle over us like ice.
