At 22:30 in the evening, all floors of the hotel experienced a power outage.
The sudden power outage caught the security personnel off guard, and fear quickly spread among the senators. Before that, they had heard the news that a killer had sneaked into the hotel. The sudden power outage was tantamount to a killer. A signal of imminent action.
Anyone who can become a senator in District 17 has stepped on countless competitors, so each of them can easily think of a reason for his assassination.
In this regard, Song Lan, who went out after hearing the news, just wanted to say, everyone, please calm down. No one will go to such great lengths to assassinate you. You take yourselves too seriously.
But no matter what he thought, the senator's panic still consumed a lot of manpower. It was not until three teams of patrolling security personnel were deployed on each floor that they were willing to return to their respective rooms to rest. Those who were more courageous would They directly called the security personnel into their room to guard them in case the killer suddenly entered their house.
Under such a difficult environment, Captain Doug still counted the number of senators within a quarter of an hour.
Everyone was present, but the mayor of Lyon was missing.
Five minutes later, they learned from the witnessing service staff that the Mayor of Lyon had left his room two minutes before the entire hotel lost power, walked out of the hotel door, and headed straight to the venue.
The service staff wanted to report the news to Captain Doug, but before they could find Doug, the entire hotel's power system was interrupted.
After that, there was a quarter of an hour of panic.
While the security personnel were busy calming the senators, Leon Serbot had already arrived at the underground level of the venue.
This area was originally provided for staff to rest and store data. However, as the Internet becomes more and more developed and the information database becomes more and more secure, most of the data storage rooms in various venues have been abolished. Now people prefer to use dedicated Information base to store data.
Nowadays, this place has become a mere resting place. Later, due to the expansion of the venue, even the staff rarely came here.
The reason why Leon Serbot came here was because of an unreasonable hunch.
When he was revising his speech and preparing for tomorrow's meeting, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind, and that voice guided him here, where an important person was waiting for him.
With the help of the weak light of his mobile phone, Leon finally came to a door after walking through the long and dark corridor.
With great anxiety, he pushed open the door deep in the corridor.
There was a candle lit inside the door, and the flickering candlelight made him feel as if he had returned to the era of material decline decades ago. Sitting next to the candlelight was a familiar face.
Grand Inquisitor Dominus.
He vaguely remembered that he had met with the new prosecutor many times before the city meeting, because to a certain extent the other party represented the opinions of the Foster family.
To his great joy, the Foster family sided with him in the election.
With the support of the Foster family, the re-election situation will become very optimistic.
Um?
Did he forget something?
Perhaps due to too much pressure during this period, his memory has declined very obviously, and there are often incoherent gaps in the memories in his mind.
However, if you can be re-elected smoothly, everything will be worth it.
Leon quickly convinced himself and decided to leave that small and insignificant memory gap behind.
"What a nostalgic place. If you hadn't established the city-wide meeting system, this venue would probably have been forgotten like other eliminated buildings."
Dominus spoke up, "You gave this place meaning and made it a symbol of the spirit of the city's meeting."
"This is to express my determination to the citizens of District 17 that I will never compromise with criminals. However... you asked me to come here for more than just saying this, right?"
"Of course, it means a lot to me that you're here."
This venue was the beginning of Lyon's political career.
Perhaps it would not be a bad thing to use this as the real starting point for his career as a prosecutor.
"Oh? I would like to know what the importance you mean is?"
"It means you will bring an important person here... am I right, Director Lu?"
Dominus deliberately raised his voice and said toward the door.
After realizing that the Mayor of Lyon had left his room, Lu Xiang would definitely investigate his whereabouts, and the manpower he deployed would promptly inform the security personnel of the Mayor's whereabouts.
After learning the news, Lu Xiang will definitely rush here as soon as possible.
However, Dominus responded with a long silence.
As time passed by, his tone changed from full of confidence to a little hesitant, "Director Lu, I know you are at the door, so let's come in and chat."
There was another long moment of silence.
After a long time, Leon had to break the deadly silence, "It seems that Director Lu has not come over. Do you need me to help you contact her?"
Embarrassment spread quickly in the room. Dominus gritted his teeth and turned red. Fortunately, the light in the conference room was dim, so his rude expression was not completely exposed to Leon.
Huh?
strangeness.
It stands to reason that Lu Xiang would have rushed here as soon as possible no matter what. Why did it happen at this juncture that the other party started to act out of character?
Could it be that his plan has been discovered?
The speeches that Dominus prepared next were all aimed at Lu Xiang. In his opinion, this would be his first real confrontation with Lu Xiang. It was also considered historic for the entire seventeenth district. moment.
But what should he say now that Lu Xiang is missing?
Are you having an awkward chat with the Mayor of Lyon in this dark little room?
Dominus was so anxious that he wanted to call Lu Xiang himself and asked her angrily that the mayor of Lyon was attracted by him to this room full of explosives. What on earth are you doing as the commander-in-chief of the security personnel at the venue? food?
Just when the awkward atmosphere was about to reach its peak, a voice from outside the two of them broke the silence.
"If you are looking for Lu Xiang, she probably won't show up."
The two of them followed the sound, and what appeared at the door was a man wearing a black windbreaker and a ball mask on his face.
In this gloomy environment, he almost merged with the darkness around him.
For a moment, Dominus actually had the idea that Lu Xiang had been killed by the person in front of him.
However, the other party's next words broke his fantasy, "Because they are currently busy encircling Dorago Saffron on the top floor of the hotel and have no time to come here. If you have anything to tell her, I I can convey it to you later."
